Whilst eating out at your favourite restaurant is always (hopefully) enjoyable, there's a certain etiquette you have to comply with: you sit up straight in a chair, you order, your meal arrives, you eat, you pay, you leave.
With picnics comes freedom with food. Pick your food, pick at your food, pick your people, pick your place (which could be on a hill, in a derelict house, on the beach, just about anywhere you want it to be, not at that last available table squashed in the corner). Speak as loud as you want, play a game, sing a song. Ok, maybe you do just want to sit and eat your picnic in peace and quiet, but you can't deny that picnics = liberty. Be free, have a picnic.
Inevitably, not every picnic is picnic perfect. Maybe you pick a place that you subsequently find to be home to a bustling family of ants. Or perhaps the limit as to the amount of noise you can make in a restaurant is preferable for a family always on the edge of feuds. And of course, you can't pick your weather. But the fact is, all these moments serve to create memories, and all of these memories started with your picnic basket.
So that's how I think of Pick•Nic blog: as a really big – think Mary Poppins bag – picnic basket. Right now, it's waiting to be filled with lots of picnic goodies. Into this basket I will be packing gorgeous picnic recipes, both my own and recipes I've found online – from picnic pies and lunchbox salads to the classic soup and sandwich picnic combo.
I want to make this hamper open to everyone, so that means there'll be something in my picnic basket for vegetarians, vegans, coeliacs and meat-eaters alike – so keep your eyes peeled!
Pick•Nic will also feature posts about my own picnic escapades. From picking people and picking picnic locations to, of course, picking food, my blog aims to cover the entire story from the picking to the picnic.
Delve into my Pick•Nic basket and pick what you like, leave what you don't, and create your own hamper full of the perfect picnicking moments.

You can't top the view from the roof of the Seven Hills Hotel, 360 degrees of sweeping vistas that include Istanbul's most important monuments. My husband and I mused that everyone seemed to want to sit on the Bospherous side of the terrace, when you can have a waterfront view in tons of cities—but where else in the world can you feel like you're levitating above the magnificent Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia? (So I recommend sitting on that side instead.)
We had a corner table, which felt private and was great for a photo opp, but it seemed too far removed from the staff to get anyone's attention. Granted, it was quite busy at 10 p.m. but the service was notably slow and spotty. The food, however, was surprisingly good, in my opinion. I note this because, as a vegetarian, I don't often expect much from my dining options outside of my home state of California—and especially not in a city known more for its lamb than its tofu. But the waiter brought some kind of simple, off-menu skillet of spiced veggies, which tasted better than seemed possible for a few peppers, onions, and mushrooms. Seriously, yum.
Anyway, go for the once-in-a-lifetime view — and the rest is icing.

When exploring destinations – and cities – to write about or, indeed, if you're on holiday or a short break, naturally you've got to eat. So on my second night in Bristol, where did I go and eat? I'm a fan of Asian cuisine and when I was invited to try out the cuisine of WokyKo along the harbour side in Bristol, in their container village known as Wapping Wharf, I jumped at the chance.
**All thoughts and opinions remain my own, despite any complimentary services**
Wapping Wharf – CARGO Village
Along the Bristol Harbour side you'll find Wapping Wharf, the alternative food, drink, coffee shop and shopping quarter of Bristol. It's re-generated the harbour area and also offers apartments for sale. Amongst Wapping Wharf you'll find CARGO. The novelty is in the name: it's a concept made up entirely of shipping containers encompassing places to eat, a florist, a barber and cider shop. CARGO 2 is due to open in the coming year (2017) and will offer further retail opportunities plus yoga and relaxation space.
CARGO is the location of WokyKo, so as well as having the opportunity to eat one of my favourite dishes, I could sample this in an alternative location…I mean, have you ever eaten in a shipping container? Talk about recycling!
I met my host from Visit Bristol and we made our way to this eclectic area. There's some great street art on display around the CARGO harbour area – and I was looking forward to the evening ahead.
The appeal of WokyKo is that Larkin Cen, the creator of the small eatery and BBC TV programme Masterchef finalist, is that all ingredients used in the creation of his menu are 'responsibly sourced', and to top it off, there's no added MSG. The place opened in October 2016, so it was a very recent addition to the Harbourside.
You can't make a reservation – the seating area's too small – but when you do sit to eat, the open kitchen means you can see the chefs prepare their magic.
WokyKo Menu
Larkin Cen has created an eclectic menu of what he terms as 'Asian street food.' And with dishes such as:
- Korean Rice Cakes with Red Dragon Sauce
- Chicken Singapore Vermicelli with free range egg, Asian Vegetables, herbs, toasted sesame seeds and lime
- Aubergine Green Curry with baby corn, green beans and steamed rice
it's easy to see why I was excited to try out the menu.
I settled on the following:
- Bao with Braised Pork, Hoi Sin Ketchup, Apple and Peanut Powder
- Sweet and Sour Chicken, Pomegranate and Pineapple salsa
- Bao with Salted Caramel Ice Cream (so good my dining guest and I actually had two)
What's a Bao? It's an Asian steamed bun, filled with your choice of ingredients. They can be savoury and sweet (see above).
Conclusion and Facts
- The food was undeniably delicious at WokyKo and made all the more unique to be in a shipping container. You'd think that it'd feel claustrophobic as they're really not that big, not once you've factored in that a seating area and kitchen is squeezed in…and were it not for the clever layout, it could well have been a claustrophobic experience, but it wasn't.
- My Braised Pork Bao with Hoi Sin Ketchup, Apple and Peanut Powder was £3.95 each
- The Salted Caramel Ice Cream Bao was £4,25 each
- There's an eclectic menu on offer – both lunch and dinner
- Opening Times:
Tuesday to Thursday, 11.30am to 10pm;
Friday and Saturday, 11.30am to 10.30pm;
Sunday, 11.30am to 10pm.
**Disclosure: I was a guest of WokyKo, arranged by VisitBristol. As always, all opinions remain my own**
Pin for later

This is so cute! It looks really good with the brownish, pastel colors instead of darker ones, and I can't decide if my favorite part is the eyes or the flowers XD

nice vector art, i love the color ^^
MaronKuzakawe Jul 25, 2016
Very nice vector. Really great work :)
Only one thing, just little details are here wrong. Like the eyebrows... these are over the hair. Anime is not American cartoon the eybrows belong under the hairs. Also the nails. You can add to them another color the skin tone.

Gorgeous vector, well done! :D
elisadevelon Retired Moderator Nov 27, 2017
Hmm, still among my notifications so after those two years I could also comment, right? ^^;
You chose a very nice pic; Sakura is really cute. Your vectoring is awesome - I belive I already told you that. I wouldn't worry about small details. If you aren't sure how precisely it is in the original, you can always use your own imagination and finish the details by yourself. Anyway, this turned out very pretty. Probably the only thing that disturbs the image for me are the eyes. They're a bit too blurry for a vector but otherwise really good job! I hope you'll upload something again.

The Music of Jimi Hendrix Applied to Indian Raga
The Music of Jimi Hendrix Applied to Indian Raga
By Matthew Montfort
I began to think about the intersection between raga the music of Jimi Hendrix after seeing a photograph of Jimi in the front row of an Indian music concert, his mouth agape in awe of what he was experiencing.
One day a student of mine was having difficulty improvising over the chord changes in "Purple Haze," and I had the idea that the techniques learned by studying Indian music would help my student to improvise more effectively.
An Indian raga is a melodic recipe for a mood: a "super scale" using a set of notes in ascending and descending order, a hierarchy of note importance, and a key phrase that shows the heart of the movement of the raga. I was inspired to create a modern raga based on the guitar solo in "Purple Haze." Before I explain how to use this raga to create your own music that is tonally related to Hendrix's solo, some explanation of the Indian system of music is necessary.
North Indian raga uses a system of solfeggio (i.e "do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti, do") known as sargam with seven note names per octave, starting with Sa (the tonic and main drone note) followed by Re (2), Ga (3), ma (4), Pa (5), Dha (6) and Ni (7). Indian music does not utilize the concept of perfect pitch where absolute note values are recognized. Sa can be set to any note, and is normally set to the most convenient place for the instrumentalist or vocalist. Just as in Western music, there are 12 main tones per octave, but there are also microtonal ornaments similar to the use of quarter tones in the blues. Indian raga uses a non-tempered tuning system where Sa and Pa are tuned a perfect just fifth apart. The other notes are close to the Western just tuning system, but the tuning of individual notes can vary from raga to raga. The word komal refers to the minor or flat version of a note, shuddh refers the natural or major version, and tivra refers to sharp or augmented version. Sa (1) and Pa (5) cannot be modified. Re (2), Ga (3) Dha (6) and Ni (7) can be either shuddh Re (M2), Ga (M3) Dha (M6) or Ni (M7), which correspond to the Western major intervals, or komal re (m2), ga (m3) dha (m6) or ni (m7), which correspond to the Western minor intervals. The note ma (4) can be either shuddh ma (P4), the natural perfect 4th, or tivra Ma (#4), which corresponds to the Western augmented fourth. In a common North Indian notation system, capital letter abbreviations are used for the version of the note that is highest in pitch and lower case letters for the note version lowest in pitch. For example, using this notation system, this is how a Western chromatic scale would be written:
S r R g G m M P d D n N S
Purple Raga
To improvise within Purple Raga, one should first practice the ascending and descending scales. Notice that the patterns zig zag: they don't simply go straight up and down a scale. This allows a raga to prescribe more than simply a mode and to include melodic instructions within the rule set. The heartphrase exemplifies an important melodic pattern for the raga. Try playing sections of the heart phrase in various octaves to emphasize the purple part of the raga.
While one could play "Purple Haze" using these melodic instructions, an unlimited number of improvisations in a similar tonal mood are also possible. On my Seven Serenades for Scalloped Fretboard Guitar release, rather than playing "Purple Haze," I instead improvised a contemporary interpretation of the North Indian musical form known as alap (a rubato exploration of melody without rhythmic accompaniment). Each raga has a patron god or goddess, which in this case has to be the god of rock guitar. So I serenaded to the spirit of Hendrix while improvising within the raga rules I created inspired by the guitar solo in "Purple Haze." Underneath, the didjeridu drones a chord in overtones: a D7#9, also known as the "Jimi Hendrix chord."

As leader of the world music group Ancient Future, Matthew Montfort has devoted himself to the scalloped fretboard guitar since 1978. He spent years of study with some of the world's best musicians, such as vina master K.S. Subramanian, with whom he did an intensive study of South Indian note-bending techniques. He has performed concerts worldwide, from the Festival Internacional de la Guitarra on the golden coast of Spain to the Festival of India in Mumbai. He has worked with many world music legends, including tabla phenomenon Zakir Hussain and Chinese zither master Zhao Hui. Montfort wrote the book Ancient Traditions – Future Possibilities: Rhythmic Training Through the Traditions of Africa, Bali, and India, which has been used by many musicians to improve their rhythm skills.

We are Brandon & Jamie Swanson, a fun-loving husband and wife photography team.
Back in 2008 I (Jamie) started the photography business as "Jamie M Swanson Photography" while working a full-time corporate job as an actuary and Brandon was an incredible stay-at-home dad to our three energetic kids.
In 2009 Brandon began showing an interest in the sweet professional gear I was using and wanted to learn how it worked.
Little did we know, Brandon was stinking talented at photography. He took to it really well, right away, and he began shooting with me almost all of the time.
In 2010 we decided to officially add Brandon to the business and become a husband & wife photography team. We love it. It's like a really hard working but fun date that we get to spend with each other.
Our name no longer fit, and we got tired of the "Does he work for you?" jokes, so we decided to rename our business. It's been a long process, but we're finally here! Lemon Tree Photographers was born, and we're ridiculously excited to roll it out.
In June of 2011 I left my lucrative corporate job to do photography full-time. It's been one of the most scary and rewarding things I've done in my life (besides having kids, of course!)
Our Approach
We always photograph our weddings together because it allows us to get better photojournalistic moments as one of us can be capturing the main events while the other one is capturing the reactions and emotions of your guests. We're great with people and are skilled in bustling dresses, making "emergency" cigar runs, and other important wedding-related tasks.
We also enjoy photographing newborns and seniors but do a limited number of these sessions each year as our main focus is weddings.
Interesting Facts
When we're not doing photography related stuff, you can find me blogging over at The Modern Tog, where I share my photography business secrets. I also love fruit pies (even more than cake!), gardening, and snuggling with my kiddos. I really appreciate good food, particularly Thai food. Mmm.
I have been known to ride a unicycle from time to time as well. But not while shooting weddings.
Brandon is an avid disc golfer and writer. He loves to run and is training to run an ultra-marathon. He's skilled at juggling and making people feel welcomed. I also find him ridiculously hilarious, but he thinks my sense of humor is lame, so take it for what you will.
Together we dream of owning land where we can grow lots of food, have a disc golf course, and create a place where people can come to find rest.
Want to work with us? Check out our portfolio, read our Road Map to Fabulous Wedding Photography, or drop us a note and let us know what we can do for you.
Thanks! We look forward to hearing from you!

This year's Westword Music Showcase lineup is now officially complete with the addition of Tickle Me Pink -- well, at least in terms of the main stage acts. In case you've missed it -- not sure how that's possible, exactly, as we've been talking this bad boy up like no other since we made our first announcement at the end of February -- the Fort Collins-based act rounds out an already stacked bill that includes Ghostland Observatory, Superchunk, Dirty Projectors, BoomBox, Neon Indian, Single File, Oh My Stars and Jonathan Tyler and the Northern Lights, added last week. If you haven't already picked up your tickets, this is the week to do so: After Friday, the absurdly low price of $9.33 goes up to $15 -- which is still an incredibly low figure, wouldn't you say?

If you are part of the suicide prevention movement, you are likely aware of the fact that work to attach a suicide deterrent system to the Golden Gate Bridge commenced recently. While reading the piece about this seminal event by Samantha Schmidt published in the Washington Post, I found the exchange pictured below in the comments online.
I replied to "Kompromat" as follows:
I'll grant that the claim about finding other means to die by suicide is contradicted by empirical evidence, but I'm curious what scientific studies you're referring to regarding the other two claims. More than 1500 Americans die every single month due to suicide via a firearm – a death toll of over 1.7 million lives lost over 80 years. Claiming that $200 million is "too high a price" to pay to save hundreds of people from dying by suicide, when thousands or tens of thousands of lives might be saved if this money was directed to firearms means restriction programs seems like a reasonable claim. Unfortunately so too is the claim about life being too painful for too many people to endure.
If/when a suicide occurs at the Golden Gate Bridge after the net is completed, it will surely be the most sensationalized suicide in US history, won't it? This event, if/when it occurs will also be the most demoralizing, and most costly, financially speaking, for the suicide prevention movement, I imagine.
I think spending over $200 million dollars on this net sets the stage for a suicide prevention movement calamity. The net will be 20 feet below the bridge, right? Imagine a suicidal person at the ceremony commemorating the net's completion. Imagine this person has a ten foot metal cable concealed under her clothing. One end of the cable has a fastener capable of being quickly attached to the bridge's railing, the other end is looped around her neck.
Surely, the installation of the net at the Golden Gate Bridge increases the chances of a horrifically tragic event like this happening. The only reasonable reason to spend over $200 million on this project is to create a suicide means restriction symbol.
It seems reasonable to claim that given:
1. the fungibility of money,
2. the relatively minuscule number of lives lost to suicide at the bridge versus suicide by firearms nationally (58 every single day) and
3. the patent increase in the likelihood of the most sensationalized suicide ever, occurring at the bridge, to ill-effect to the cause of reducing the suicide rate…
that a suicide prevention investment of this magnitude for this purpose is so myopic that it's a moronic misappropriation of money.
Make no mistake, if I could snap my fingers, and cause suicide deterrent systems like the one being built at the Golden Gate Bridge to magically exist under every single bridge on Earth where a suicide has occurred, I would.
That said, surely a life lost to suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge is not more valuable than any other life lost to suicide, right? In the work of stopping suicide, it's an absolute value numbers game, isn't it?
The resources at our collective disposal to prevent suicide are scarce. For example, The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, the largest private national non-profit involved in the fight to stop suicide has an annual budget that's only about $18 Million. The AFSP is going after reducing the suicide rate in a strategic way to make the best use of the limited financial resources it has at its disposal. They have a practical plan to reduce the U.S. suicide rate by 20% by 2025. A primary focus in that plan is to aggressively address lethal means restriction as a way to save lives. The most common way to die by suicide in this country is by firearm, and the AFSP has recently started working directly with the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Their collaboration has led to a breakthrough firearms lethal means restriction program.
The AFSP is working with representatives from local gun shops, shooting ranges and hunting clubs to educate retailers and the firearm-owning community on suicide prevention and firearms. The pilot program, involving community-based AFSP chapters in four states, is the first time a national suicide organization has collaborated with gun retailers, range owners and the firearm-owning community about suicide prevention and firearms. Many of the strategies of the pilot program will utilize co-developed resources through a new partnership between AFSP and the National Shooting Sports Foundation, the trade association for the firearms industry. "One of the first areas identified through Project 2025, our initiative aimed at reducing the annual suicide rate 20 percent by 2025, was a critical need to reduce the number of suicides using a firearm. But, we know we can't do it alone," said AFSP CEO Robert Gebbia. "We will work alongside firearm retailers and range owners and the firearm-owning community to better inform and educate them on warning signs, and what to do if someone may be at risk for suicide."
I will stipulate that there is a non-zero chance that if the suicide deterrent system at the Golden Gate Bridge is completed that not one single human being will ever again die by suicide at or on the bridge or the net. That said, given my personal experience with suicidal thoughts and behavior, as well as my experience with other extreme states of highly creative consciousness, I doubt that the net will be the end of suicide at the Golden Gate Bridge. It would surprise me if the completion of the net is not followed by a suicide at the bridge, assuming that its completion is not marked and forever marred by one.
Dying by suicide by jumping off of the Golden Gate Bridge is one of the most predictably sensational ways to die by suicide on Earth. Investing in a suicide deterrent system with a price tag of $204,000,000 is a sensational way to deal with a sensational problem. Not seriously considering how such a sensational act may presage the most sensational suicide of all time seems myopic to me.
I call on all of my brothers and sisters in this movement to save lives to consider thinking more critically and analytically about how we apportion the scant financial resources we have at our disposal to cause the suicide rate to go down as quickly as possible.

As far as operations go, breast augmentation is a reasonably straightforward procedure using a low danger of side effects. Having a skilled surgeon, most women can achieve the curves they have been dreaming of without any actual difficulties. Yet, dangers and complications exist, and those contemplating this plastic surgery choice should be aware of what they're so they can make a completely informed decision about their surgeries.
Anesthesia Danger
As with any surgical procedure, this one carries the danger related to general anesthesia, which will be the most frequent form of anesthesia used in this procedure. Then you likely already know whether this is a factor for you personally, for those who have ever had surgery under general anesthesia before. You might have to forego surgery, in the event you have an allergy to general anesthesia, which can cause potentially deadly side effects. In the average healthy woman, this threat is extremely small, although there's always a slight risk of the happening.
Hazards From Surgery
Any time your body cuts, you open up yourself to dangers like illness or blood loss. These risks are substantially minimized if you choose a skilled surgeon who has a tidy, sterile surgery center or performs his surgeries in a hospital. The chance of surgical complications for patients undergoing breast augmentation is not any more or less than for those seeking other surgical procedures. Be sure before you pick surgery to discuss these risks with your physician.
Surgery Unique Complications
For instance, it's not impossible for the body to reject the implant.
Capsular contracture is just another possible danger related to this process.
Problems using the implants themselves can occur. For example, implants can deflate or rupture in the body. The type of implant chosen plays a massive part in how strong this threat is, so talk to your doctor about it if you are picking your implants.
Cosmetic Complications
A number of the complications associated with breast augmentation procedures are only decorative. This means they don't place the individual at risk, however unsightly aesthetic states are caused by them. Including rippling or alternative irregularities in the contour of the breasts, bottoming from the implant, or implants that end up touching in the centre of the chest. The ability of your surgeon is going to do much to eliminate these risks.
Psychological Complications
The ultimate sort of complication potential with breast augmentation is mental in nature. You may find following your surgery that you are not happy with your results. To put it differently, you might feel as you believed they should, offering you mental trauma that they didn't deliver. And that means you've got realistic expectations for your possible results the best method to counter this risk will be honest and open at all times with your surgeon.

Xiaomi a leading mobile phone and electronic equipment manufacturer has fallen under a new scam. Manu Jain Managing Director of Xiaomi tweeted about a scam where few Indian retailers have been duped into buying counterfeit franchises of the company's Mi Stores. The company is taking strict measures to ensure that its brand value is not tarnished and retailers in India remain safe from any kind of fraud or forgery.
Forged documents with Jain's fake signature have been circulating among some retailers in the country. People are being sold fake franchises for opening Xiaomi stores with the help of forged documents.
Manu Jain tweeted "FRAUD ALERT! I have come across a scam where few retailers have been cheated into buying fake franchises of Xiaomi India Mi Stores! Shocking to see forged documents, with my fake signatures,".
He further said that his company is taking the incident very seriously and filed a case with the cyber crime department and police is investigating the matter.
Making the retailers aware of the scam Jain requested the retailers to first confirm the authenticity of the documents and then apply for the Mi Store franchise through the official channels.

There was a time when tower defense games were all the rage for mobile gaming. Unfortunately, a flood of clones deflated enthusiasm for the genre. It would take a seriously original twist on tower defense to bring people back, and that's just what Anomaly Warzone Earth is offering for iOS. This title also boasts enhanced graphics for the iPhone 4S' A5 processor.
In most tower defense games, you set up immobile turrets around a map to prevent a constantly advancing force from breaking your defenses. In Anomaly Warzone Earth, you are that constantly advancing force.
The game starts off in the Middle East, where aliens have landed and started taking root. You're a military commander tasked with bringing them down, tower by tower. Doing this requires directing a tiny force of jeeps, tanks, and rocket launchers through hostile territory, with certain units excelling against certain towers.
The touch-based interface works perfectly for this game, letting you quickly set routes and drop power-ups to aid your crews. Anomaly Warzone Earth was originally released on PC, but this new interface works far better than a mouse ever did. That being said, more casual players might find the level of micromanagement--even in the early levels--overwhelmingly difficult.
Anomaly Warzone Earth plays from a top-down perspective, giving you a clear view of the action from the sky. From this vantage, you can fully appreciate the visuals the developers were able to cram into this mobile game, from smoldering buildings to electrified wires to fancy alien technology. The game really looks like a living, breathing battlefield.
A recent update added even cleaner, more detailed graphics for iOS devices with A5 processors, including the iPad 2 and the iPhone 4S. It's a big step over the iPhone 4, which looked good enough but wasn't able to run at the consistently smoother frame rate that the 4S is able to achieve.
It's hard to imagine any strategy gamer not enjoying this new twist on the tower defense genre. Provided you're up for the challenging gameplay, you'll really enjoy the great graphics and spot-on controls.

Ringling case begins February 4!
Published 02/04/09 by Zibby Wilder, Director of Public Relations, Born Free USA
Beginning today, February 4, Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey circus and its parent company, Feld Entertainment, will finally stand trial to face charges that the circus mistreats its Asian elephants in violation of the federal Endangered Species Act.
This case has been going on for more than eight years, and what a long eight years it has been! Born Free USA's Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Nicole Paquette, Esq., is excited for the elephants' day to finally come. Nicole is also a witness in the case.
Nicole will be keeping all of our supporters updated directly from the trial. She will be posting regular blogs as well as Twittering on all of the developments. If you aren't signed up to have our blog emailed directly to your inbox, sign up here. And, click here to follow Born Free USA on Twitter!
But what does it really all mean? Ringling claims that we are trying to shut down the circus — in truth what the plaintiffs seek is to stop the abuse of elephants in the circus.
A circus is a form of entertainment and performers should have the right to choose to entertain the public. Elephants in the circus don't have this choice. They may be stolen from their mothers, beaten into submission with bullhooks and confined in chains. They are carted across the U.S. in train cars, more than 11,000 miles and 11 months at a time, to spend minutes in the ring. And their service is repaid by more chains, more bullhooks, more loneliness, more pain.
Ringling claims we're making it all up but the evidence really does speak for itself. Evidence from the trial notes one of Ringling's own animal behaviorist reporting "an elephant dripping blood all over the arena floor from being hooked," and documentation of elephants spending, on average, more than 26 hours at a time chained in boxcars. Sometimes for as much as 60-100 hours. Video shows a Ringling elephant named Shirley in labor and nearly incapacitated by chains on three of her legs, hit repeatedly with a bullhook as her baby Riccardo is born — and taken from her. Eight months later, Riccardo was dead, euthanized after he broke both legs falling off a circus pedestal.
I don't see how anyone once they are made aware of all the facts can still justify the purchase of a ticket to Ringling's circus.
Thanks for your support of Born Free USA and our pursuit of this case. We are excited that the elephants will finally have their day in court and we look forward to your continued support with this groundbreaking case and all of the important work we do on behalf of animals.
For the elephants!

Trade estimates aren't indicating any big surprises in today's stocks report but the market will always be on high alert for these quarterly releases, with a tendency towards bearish corn figures in the past; at any rate, the focus is sure to shift back to a swift harvest campaign shortly thereafter...
China issued import quotas for 2016 wheat, corn, and rice today, with the wheat amount set at 9.636 MMT and corn at 7.2 MMT.
The European Commission raised their 2015 soft wheat crop estimate from 140.6 to 144.6 MMT this month—still below last year's 148.7 MMT record— with corn down from 58.7 to 58.4 MMT. Barley (59.0 MMT this month) and rapeseed (21.1 MMT) output figures were increased as well.
Egypt's GASC is reportedly considering raising their protein requirement for wheat imports from 12.0 to 12.5%; current specs require a 12% protein content for Black Sea wheat and 11.5% for French and U.S. SRW.
South Africa increased their 2015 corn crop estimate from 9.84 to 9.94 MMT, compared to trade expectations for a similarly-sized decline; that's still down around a third from 2014 and the smallest corn harvest since 2007.
The USDA is expected to report total August U.S. soy crush at 142.0 million bushels, in their first report in four years since Census numbers went offline. Estimates range from 140.9-142.7 mbu, with NOPA at 135.3 mbu in August.

Holopainting with Raspberry Pi
We've covered 2D light-painting here before. This project takes things a step further: meet 3D holopainting.
This project's an unholy mixture of stop-motion, light-painting and hyperlapse from FilmSpektakel, a time-lapse and film production company in Vienna. It was made as part of a university graduation project. (With Raspberry Pis and Raspberry Pi camera boards, natch.)
Getting this footage out was a very labour-intensive process – but the results are stupendous. The subject was filmed by a ring of 24 networked Raspberry Pi cameras working like a 3d scanner, taking pictures around the ring with a delay of 83 milliseconds between each one so that movement could be captured.
They then cut out all of the resulting images – told you it was labour-intensive – and put them on a black background, then fed that data into a commercial light-painting stick. (If you don't want to fork out a ton of cash for your own light-painting stick, there are instructions on building one with a Raspberry Pi over at Adafruit.)
A man dressed as a budget ninja walked the stick in front of a series of cameras set up where the original Raspberry Pi cameras had been, to create 3D images hanging in the air.
Presto: a holopainting – and the results are tremendous. Here's a making-of video.
The Invention of #HoloPainting
Holopainting is a combination of the Light Painting, Stop Motion and Hyperlapse technique to create three dimensional light paintings. We didn't want to use computer generated images, so we built a giant 3D scanner out of 24 Raspberry Pis with their webcams. These cameras took photos from 24 different perspectives of the person in the middle with a delay of 83 milliseconds, so the movement of the person also was recorded.
There's a comment that often pops up when we describe a project like this: why bother? We'll head that off right now: because you can. Because nobody's done it before. Because the end results look phenomenal. We love it, and we'd love to see more projects like this!

There Is Suprise In Everything The Unseen Moves
This is one of my favourite poems. A good friend shared this with me back in 2003 when I was in my second year at university. Ever since then I have had a copy of it on my wall. Seven years later, it still helps me make sense of the world.
An African Elegy by Ben Okri, February 1990
We are the miracles that God made
To taste the bitter fruit of Time.
We are precious.
And one day our suffering
Will turn into the wonders of the earth.
There are things that burn me now
Which turn golden when I am happy.
Do you see the mystery of our pain?
That we bear the poverty
And are able to sing and dream sweet things.
And that we never curse the air when it is warm
Or the fruit when it tastes so good
Or the lights that bounce gently on the waters?
We bless the things even in our pain.
We bless them in silence.
That is why our music is so sweet.
It makes the air remember.
There are secret miracles at work
That only Time will bring forth.
I too have heard the dead singing.
And they tell me that This life is good
They tell me to live it gently
With fire, and always with hope.
There is wonder here
And there is surprise
In everything the unseen moves.
The ocean is full of songs.
The sky is not an enemy.
Destiny is our friend.

The attorney agreed to draft a new offer to compromise an IRS tax lien, to investigate a malpractice claim against their bankruptcy attorney, including sending him a demand letter, and to form a corporation for the couple . The parties orally agreed to a flat fees for the work, but the attorney never provided any written agreement. Before leaving the attorney's office, the husband endorsed a check over to the attorney, which included funds in excess of the agreed upon flat fee. The clients requested that the attorney hold the excess funds until a later date, when he eventually returned the money to them.
One year later, the attorney had performed all of the requested tasks and referred the couple to other counsel after he was unable to resolve the malpractice matter short of litigation. The clients requested the attorney return their file, but he failed to do so for approximately one month. The clients then filed a complaint with the Board of Bar Overseers ("BBO").
After investigating the matter, the BBO found that the attorney failed to comply with several of the Massachusetts Rules of Professional Conduct. First, his failure to hold the excess funds in a separate client trust account was a violation of Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.15(b), which prohibits the commingling and negligent use of client funds. Next, the attorney's failure to draft a written fee agreement, which informed the clients of the scope of his representation and the rate of his fees, violated Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.5(b)(1). Also, his failure to timely return the clients' file was a violation of Mass. R. Prof. C. 1.16(e).
The BBO recommended a three-month suspension, stayed for a period of one year, subject to the attorney (1) agreeing to be audited by the Law Office Management Assistance Program ("LOMAP"), (2) to adopt LOMAP's recommendations, and (3) to make quarterly reports to bar counsel. The SJC accepted the BBO's recommendation, and issued an appropriate Order.

text: Transdermal fillers are a popular, non-invasive way to reduce the look of fine lines and wrinkles without having to undergo a traditional and expensive facelift surgery. More and more plastic surgeons are turning to products like Restylane, a prominent filler in Orange County, to make their patients look great after an afternoon visit. Restylane is a clear, non-animal based, natural sugar compound gel and is most commonly used for increasing volume to the lips and diminishing wrinkles around the nose, mouth, and forehead. It has also been used to great effect to treat aging-related facial hollows and unsightly bags that often appear under and around the eyes. Because it is a versatile substance, Restylane is also utilized for increasing cheek volume and contouring the chin, forehead, and nose. The injections are usually administered in a doctor's office setting and the typical patient is 35 to 60 years of age. Since Restylane contains no natural pain killing substances, some patients may experience mild discomfort from the needle during injection. Usually, the treatment proceeds for no more than half an hour and sometimes even less. Depending on the kind of treatment, a patient can return home the same day. After Injections Results are fully evident within the first week and treatments have been shown to reduce wrinkles by an average of eighty percent. Restylane has a higher success rate for reducing or eliminating deep wrinkles than other spa-related options such as chemical peels and microdermabrasions. Following the treatment, patients may experience pronounced swelling that may last up to three days. Although patients are advised to stay out of the sun, routine activities including work can be normally resumed immediately. If a patient has chronic pain or progressive, irregular symptoms, a doctor should be immediately notified. It is important to note that a Restylane treatment is only a temporary solution and follow-up treatments may be required. While a simple injection may seem straightforward enough, dermatologists and plastic surgeons possess specialized knowledge and experience with these types of procedures. Consulting with a doctor that has specific Restylane injection training and experience is paramount for medical safety and for achieving optimal results.

After the presentation of PuzzlePhone technology by Alejandro Santacreu, we met with Juan Diaz and took a few closeups of platform and modules.
PuzzlePhone has partnered up with ImasD, a Spanish engineering firm that will be contributing to the development of the PuzzlePhone platform. ImasD has powered the devices with innovative Click ARM (Advanced Removable Modules) hardware and firmware platform.
Dummy PuzzlePhone casing. A finished device will be launched later this year.
Juan from PuzzlePhone was kind enough to let us take a closer look at their platform.
PuzzlePhone is a completely open source platform opening a range of opportunities for consumers, developers and manufacturers alike. It's not just for environment-conscious individuals but could also contribute the smartphone industry. The nice thing about it is that any brand can manufacture the PuzzlePhone. Alejandro said the company "is not reinventing the wheel", the PuzzlePhone "is already in your pocket" and it can be easily spread across the supply chain. It is a challenge at the initial stage but once out there, it could be easily adopted by the industry.
The business model of Circular Devices, the company which is developing Puzzlephone, is based on 1.3 billion wasted devices that will reach 5 billion by 2018 that Alejandro mentioned earlier. The company could build the phones in Finland and distribute through its own marketplace or license to third parties and mobile operators. It could also be exported to other countries. Essentially, it's reengineering the global process thorough the sustainable approach. The plan is to start in Europe and expand to India, Americas, Asia, Middle East and Africa.

If you just want a brew during a day walk, why not consider a meths stove? Very cheap, very light, very quiet and some have built in windshields.https://speedsterstoves.co.uk/..but don't let me put you off a Jetboil - they are well regarded.(I say 'very quiet' as my Primus Omnilite sounds like a jet engine! Used it today whilst out walking with my son, but rather overkill).
MSR Microrocket stove .folds up into a hardened case and has a Piezo Ignitor also . Ultralight and compact .
Very impressed with my recently bought MSR Pocket Rocket2
However, it performed poorly in our 8-10mph wind test, when it burned 1 oz of fuel in 30 minutes and did not boil the water.

In Control, Leg 10
We have finally been vindicated! There have been those of you who have derided, questioned, mocked, and generally laughed at our decision to lug cheese instead of digging through poo. Tonights episode showed what should have happened to the poo-diggers, and why toting cheese didnt seem like too bad of an idea. Lets compare, shall we?
THEM: Distance to the whitewater slightly further than to the mud.
US: Distance to the cheese slightly further than the poo.
THEM: One choice will get you covered in a warm, grayish-brown substance.
US: One choice will get you covered in a warm, brownish-gray substance.
THEM: Got to wear special suit doing the non-digging choice.
US: Got to wear special shoes doing the non-digging choice.
THEM: Had no one around the digging choice but the racers.
US: Had no one around the digging choice but the racers.
THEM: Had experts at the non-digging choice to show racers the proper way.
US: Had experts at the non-digging choice to mock us while we struggled.
THEM: Clues well-hidden in mud, very hard to find.
US: Clues sticking out of surface of poo, with neon lights pointing to location.
THEM: Only two teams chose to dig in mud.
US: Only two teams chose NOT to dig in poo.
US: Got to keep the cheese, but no one cared.
THEM: Got to cut the cheese, but no one heard.
You see, if the clues had been truly buried in a fifteen foot tall pile of manure, with fresh manure being added to the top (as the additional information on the Detour clue said), the choice of hauling 500 Kg of cheese was the smart choice. Tonight you saw exactly how hard it should have been to find the poo clues. Unfortunately for Steve and Dave, the clues werent nearly as well hidden in the poo as they were in tonights mud, and the rest (as well as Steve and Dave) was history.
Are you getting a sense that were rationalizing? Does the specter of eighth place haunt us every night? Yeah, it does not a day goes by that something reminds us of The Amazing Race. But the eleventh place ghost is a much scarier poltergeist. So we got that going for us, which is good. We figure elimination from eight through fifth is okay for the mind. Before eighth, you think how miserably youve failed yourself. After fifth, you can drive yourself nutzy-cuckoo thinking about how close you came to winning a million bucks, right Al? Are you getting a sense that were rationalizing? Yeah
Does anyone else feel that Freud would have a field day with the New Zealanders and their Zorb balls? Something about sliding out of those balls with the splash of water put us in mind of a child leaving the womb.
Hey, thats two legs in a row now that weve seen the Yield. Lets see four teams left, three legs left, and no one has used it yet. We guess that makes it an incredible success far better than those dumb Fast Forwards where we got to see teams actually doing something endemic to the country they were in. Colin and Christie say they wont use it (we doubt thats true), Chip and Kim are kicking themselves for not using it (on the team that finished last), and the Bowling Moms figure they cant use it because they are already last (or second, depending on whether or not you believe Phil). What about the penalty for finishing last during a NEL and the subsequent begging for money? How foolish we were to think that it would be harder in India. We forgot that Calcutta had a Grand Hyatt filled with wealthy international travelers.
Tonight also showed all future contestants the importance of being able to read maps. To begin with, it is a good idea to know where you are on the map (try and avoid doing a Tribiani with the map, though it pisses Chandler off). Once youve determined your location, determine where you want to go. Then figure out a route that goes from where you are to where you want to be. It may sound complicated, but with a little practice you should be errorlessly navigating distances in excess of tens of feet in no time. By the way the arrow pointing towards the N should always point toward the top as you are looking at the map. The N stands for North, which is Latin for do I get fries with that? That has no bearing on anything, but you can always do like we did and use this little mnemonic aid to help you remember that N goes up: Down? No, up! There are two Ns in that phrase. Two, as we all know, is an even number, but since there is another N in even we now have three Ns, which is odd. An odd number leaves a remainder when divided by 2. The number 2 is expressed as II in Roman numerals. If you erase the middle of the letter N (this part ), you are left with II. Thus, 2 = N - , which if you turn your head and squint your eyes kind of looks like an arrow pointing up, N goes up. Pretty clever, huh?
In a nod to TAR5 featuring the first-ever recycling of CBS reality show contestants, our ratings this week will have nothing to do with the actual race, but instead, our ratings center on how each of the teams would do on other popular reality shows. Therefore we have the Survivor icon (which measures how well the team members would do on Survivor); the Apprentice icon (ditto, except on the Apprentice); and finally the Fear Factor icon (this time the show would be Fear Factor).
Steve: I give up. I cant make fun of these two anymore. If only Dave or I were psychotic and treated our wives like crap, maybe we could have been one of the best racing teams ever. Just like Colin and Christie. Perhaps they found one of the field producers crib sheets.
Dave: Steve, I have to admit that Im fresh out of material for these two as well. Leaders now for three consecutive legs, and six out of ten legs overall they look unbeatable. Therefore, I am going to publicly announce right here: Colin and Christie will NOT win The Amazing Race 5. Call it a hunch, gut instinct, sheer stupidity on my part, whatever. CBS wants us to think that they are a shoo-in therefore they will lose. I dont know who is going to win, but it wont be Colin and Christie. (If it turns out Im wrong, Im blaming it on the fact that I swiped some of your pain meds while you werent looking. Ive never heard of these placebos before, but I gotta tell you I am freaking hammered right now.)
Dave: Once again, Mr. Nice Guy Chip leads for the whole leg but allows Colin and Christie to slip past him at the end and has to settle for second errr Well, isnt THIS a pleasant surprise? Ladies, every time I write you off you shock the heck out of me. Congratulations on a second-place finish this leg. After last weeks show, I told everyone that I thought you two were dragging and probably wouldnt make the top three. I still think the race is really wearing on you, but you overcame your usual bad luck and did quite well. Im still holding out hope.
Steve: All right ladies! Those arent hot flashes youve been having, theyre power surges. Steve and Dave are proud of you. It seems youve been energized this leg. It also seems you DID bring along your 16 pound balls, because thats what it took to jump in that river. And the neoprene you wore is so slimming, perfect for a night on the town at the foam bars.
Steve: Dear God, we know youre busy in Iraq, Russia and Florida, but if you can multitask wed sure appreciate it if youd help us slog through this mud and find an envelope. Stop it, stop it, and stop it. Youve made me consider atheism, but there arent enough holidays. And while Im at it, Brandon, stop using Nicole as an excuse for your decisions. Even Dr. Phil could see how scared you were of the idea to sledge.
Dave: I dont know. Theres got to be something sacrilegious about praying for help from above at a place called Hells Gate especially when you made the choice to go there. Watching these two Im reminded of the joke about the blond who prays that God will let her win the lottery. Every week she prays to win, and every week it doesnt happen. Finally, as shes on her knees praying once again to win the lottery she hears a voice from above saying, I cant help you if you dont buy a ticket.
Dave: Dude, why is it that every week you let Colin slip in front of you at the key moment (this week it was at the Singapore Airlines office) to take the lead? I really like you two, and Im hoping you win but you just have to get a little more aggressive! Other than that, I was actually laughing out loud when you faked the use of the Yield. Of course, I already knew what you found out seconds later (that you were in fourth with a miniscule lead over fifth) but it was still just plain funny. When you finally decide to drop the Y-Bomb, try to use it on C&C, okay?
Steve: Chip, do you use the Yield or not? Remember, indecision may or may not be your problem. Time to shift gears and hunker down. The fast girls are gone and you must {enter vapid cliché here, Dave}. No time to lose now as you {nonsensical synonym for speed}on the last 3 legs. Try not to make anymore {direct comparison to a Mirna blunder please}. Then you can sit in bed and count your coin like Scrooge McDuck.
Kami/Karli (eliminated):
Steve: Shit. I just figured out which one was Kami and which one was Karli. Off to Loser Lodge for a delightful two-day stay, which by now is now halfway across the world from New Zealand. Ooohh, maybe its back in India where the rooms are less than a hundred bucks a night according to Orbitz. Two blondes walk into a building. Youd think one of them would have seen it.
Dave: Since their first next-to-last finish in leg two, Ive been expecting these two to get eliminated almost every leg. They almost made it once (back in Dubai), but have somehow been hanging on by the skin of their teeth. I should have known that they would pick the dumbest leg to get eliminated on. The fourth place team doesnt go to Loser Lodge, but instead travels with production to the end city. The fifth place team gets a whirlwind flight one-third of the way back around the world the other way, arriving in Loser Lodge just long enough to spend their one day there catching up on their sleep. Then they get to hop on another flight that will take them the additional third of the way around the world to the end city. Yep, with the utter brilliance these two displayed throughout the race, a fifth-place finish was logical.
Talk about this article.
