I absolutely LOVE art. When art is combined with fashion, I'm in heaven! I find that it is important for me to support other creatives. Anyone can modify something to make it their own, but it takes serious effort and a strong aesthetic to create something totally original. I get stumped when presented with beautiful artwork, so just imagine having to create it. It intrigues me to think about what makes another artist tick; why did they select those colors? And why doesn't my artwork turn out as beautiful? Ha!
My newest obsession is an artist by the name Esra Roise, a Norwegian illustrator based in Oslo. Her sketching technique is stylized and visually stimulating. She uses a combination of water color, and pencil, adding just the right amount of color in every piece. Esra's artwork is so refreshing! She has worked with the like of Vogue China, NIKE, and Levi, only to name a few. I am definitely motivated to pull out my sketch book!
Here's a few of my favorite pieces by Esra. XOXO, Camille

A school for children with medical needs based at Southampton General Hospital has been awarded the highest possible performance rating by the government's education watchdog.
Tremona Road Hospital and Home Service, a medical pupil referral unit (PRU) situated within Southampton University Hospitals NHS Trust's Bursledon House children's centre, has been judged as 'outstanding' by Ofsted.
Run by Southampton City Council, the service caters for children aged from five to 16 years. Many of the children referred to the unit have acute medical needs, meaning they are either hospitalised or receiving education at home.
The unit also provides an outreach service for pupils of all age ranges that require home tuition while attending hospital on an outpatient basis.
In many cases, children at the school will have experienced considerable disruption to their education due to their medical needs.
Ofsted Inspector Stuart Charlton praised staff at Tremona Road for their dedication in helping to restore pupils' self-esteem and confidence.
His report further recognised the unit's commitment to developing pupils' literacy, numeracy and information and communication technology skills, along with developing excellent personal skills.
Councillor Peter Baillie, Cabinet member for Children's Services and Learning at SCC, said: "The Ofsted report really is outstanding. Tremona Road is an exemplary case of what commitment from both staff and pupils can achieve.

Virgin Witch
"Virgin Witch" is pretty much the quintessential exemplar of the direction taken by early-seventies independent British horror cinema. With the American money, that had largely sustained the industry during the sixties, now rapidly falling away as the usual multipicture package deals and backing from Major studios disappeared in the flurry of U.S. mergers and acquisitions then taking place as the economic downturn took hold overseas, small British studios such as Hammer films now looked to opportunistic freelance producers at home to provide it with material that would hopefully have a better chance of grabbing an audience. This led to ultimately futile attempts to spice up the previously reliable Hammer formula with a franker depiction of sex and nudity on the big screen. But now that John Trevelyan had recently created the new 'X' Certificate, which bumped up the admittance age to such films to 18, the company's quaint rejigging of its traditional brand of fairy tale-like period horror looked like tired fare indeed next to the uncompromising content of films such as "Straw Dogs" and "The Devils". Soon smutty sex comedies and films with a more hard-hitting, graphically violent approach to their content such as the Michael Klinger produced "Get Carter", offered the surest way of bringing in box office cash. Maverick independent writer/producer/director talents such as Stanley Long, Norman J Warren and Pete Walker would refine the art of small budget film production when they perfected a formula that traded heavily on leering exploitation smut leavened with the now requisite graphic gore to lure the punters towards small-scale British films such as "Satan's Slave" and "House of Whipcord".
At first glance "Virgin Witch" seems a standard product of the exploitation-based output of entrepreneurial filmmakers like Warren and Walker, and fits right in with the kind of thing they were doing during the period. The film starts out by setting out a basic, rather familiar, sketchily-outlined horror scenario, but thereafter cynically ladles gratuitous sex and voyeuristic nudity into the equation at every available opportunity, no matter how questionable the justification. Most of the action takes place in exactly the same location as would later be used for Norman J. Warren's "Satan's Slave" -- even the same recognisable interiors crop up frequently, so much so that Warren's film could almost have been a sequel.
Also, the themes that would come to dominate the work of, for instance, Pete Walker are very notably evident already, at least in an embryonic form, by the manner in which the film graphically depicts the vices of a sexually liberated, permissive younger generation, but sets them against an even more corrupt and hypocritical older establishment whose values and the thin veneer of respectability attached to them are merely a front for its own institutionalised venality. In a way "Virgin Witch" is a dry run for later Walker exploitation classics such as "House of Whipcord" and "House of Mortal Sin", but it actually precedes them by several years, and has a very different pedigree. For while people like Walker and Warren started their film careers by producing semi-legitimate 8mm glamour films in the Clubland milieu of sixties Soho, only gradually working their way into low-budget mainstream filmmaking, "Virgin Witch" director Ray Austin comes from a very different background.
Having started out as stunt arranger on "The Avengers" during its hugely popular high sixties period, Austin moved into directing -- first on "The Avengers" itself during the Linda Thorson years, and later on several ITC film series such as "Randall & Hopkirk (Deceased)". Later-still came Gerry Anderson's "Space: 1999" and U.S. series such as "Hawaii Five-O". "Virgin Witch" is Ray Austin's first, rarely mentioned, full-length feature, largely competently but rather perfunctorily directed, and assiduously adhering to all the tawdry hallmarks most typifying the 1970s British sex film, with its preponderance of over-exposed, nubile teenage flesh amidst the cosy environs of a leaf-fringed Surrey setting -- much like the kind of home counties locations you'd find in the average episode of "The Avengers", in fact.
Distributed by Tony Tenser's Tigon Films (a company more adept than most at the time in combining smutty exploitation filth with more traditional horror fare), the film was produced pseudonymously under the name Ralph Solomans for the little known Univista Productions – a front for the unlikely pairing of TV wrestling pundit Kent Walton and "Crossroads" creator Hazel Adair, who also penned the lascivious but intermittently interesting screenplay as well as the lyrics of a schmaltzy song used in an interminable nightclub 'padding' scene that occurs half-way through the film.
Despite these rather more respectable-sounding-than-you'd-expect production credentials, the film is distilled sleaze of a typically seventies vintage, probably outdoing just about all other comers in the prestigious bum, tits, pubes & arse ratio. The cookie-cutter storyline is stamped out of a run-of-the-mill Brit smut template, the sort of thing to be found in countless flicks of the day, and rehearsed quite nicely for example in Pete Walker's "Cool It Carol". It begins with the updated 'babes in the wood' notion of some virginal innocents from out of town being cast adrift in the big city after they leave home to find their fortune through promiscuous sex. This is the classic exploitation scenario that allows the filmmakers to present themselves as being on the side of innocence and moral virtue, while all the while revelling in the fleshy display of excess to be found in the film's depiction of the metropolitan permissiveness that inevitably tempts our neophyte innocents with its modish allure. "Virgin Witch" begins the same way, but brings an interesting twist to the hackneyed material despite ultimately failing to fully capitalise on some interesting themes it manages only briefly to allude to before it comes to an abrupt halt and drifts away into its hastily shot orgiastic dénouement, during which the entire cast contrive to get their kecks off.
A perfectly cast Ann and Vicki Michelle play pouty mini-skirted teenage tearaways Christine and Betty. Off to London to seek adventure and escape the restrictive upbringing of their village backwater home, they fall in with sports car-driving jack the lad, Johnny (Keith Buckley), who picks them up on the road to London and lets them kip at his flat, with the intention of deflowering the younger, 'perter' and prettier Betty as soon as big sis is out of the way. He manages to remind them not to reply to those dodgy ads advertising for glamour models to be found in newsagents' shop windows though, despite it being apparent that, Betty at least, has just as much to fear from his dishonourable intentions.
Clearly the more sexually curious of the two girls, Christine promptly makes for the nearest newsagent she can find, and before you can say 'get'em off' she's merrily posing nude in supposedly renowned modelling agency guru and predatory lesbian (all lesbians are predatory in the world of soft porn smut, of course) Sybil Waite's (Patricia Haines), low-lit and gaudily furnished office. Crafty Sybil has a concealed button behind her desk that makes her telephone ring on cue, and allows her to fake a conversation with a made up client who apparently needs a model at short notice … one who's prepared to go nude of course! Naturally, Christina is up for it, and asks if her little sister can come along for the day too.
This little ruse brings them both to the picturesque countryside residence of academic Dr Gerald Amberly (Neil Hallett), a place known as 'Wychworld', on the outskirts of the city, where Christine is soon stripping off again in the garden, for the camera of trendy would-be David Bailey, Peter (James Chase). Meanwhile Betty stumbles around the grounds in a skimpy bikini, bumping into various leering personages such as a pervy milkman and a gun-toting Colonel. She also stumbles upon a hidden back room furnished in satanic regalia and with a sacrificial alter in the centre.
After fainting in shock, Betty wakes up in bed, where Dr Amberly introduces himself and has soon 'diagnosed' her condition for her: 'you thought they might be desiring you', he explains of her encounters earlier in the day. 'Parents rather strict? Never allowed any boyfriends?' he inquires, sympathetically. It's a straightforward case of sexual repression, and the relaxed regime at Wychworld will soon sort her out, Gerald assures her.
Betty perks up after this pep talk and celebrates with a relaxing bath … while Amberley ogles her through a secret spy hole in the wall! Sybil is also doing her fair share of ogling, and is not best pleased that Peter seems to be extending his duties -- with regard to Christine -- beyond the role of photographer, the highly-sexed runaway being only too happy to oblige him. It seems the respectable Dr Amberley and Sybil double as High Priest and High Priestess of their own pagan cult, which happens to be made up of just about everybody else in the village. But they need their guests' purity intact for their upcoming satanic rituals. 'Virgins are very hard to come by, as well you know Gerald,' reminds Sybil.
After laboriously setting up this rather clichéd, pseudo Hammer horror version of a Dennis Wheatley-esque satanic cult plot (although always spending more of its time finding lame excuses for the Michelle sisters to disrobe while Hallett and Haines gaze longingly at them – something that slows the pace to a turgid crawl), the film then goes about quietly subverting the occult horror genre in a way that is very reminiscent of the strategy employed by Pete Walker's films later in the decade. Far from continuing to play out the role of the innocent exploited teens one would expect of them in such a film, Christine and Betty very quickly work out what's really going on behind the scenes of Wychworld, and Christine in particular is not only not shocked or scared by it, but fascinated and enthused by the whole idea of the personal power that could be gained by a mastery of the forces of witchcraft. The viewer of course, assumes this is to be the preamble to a morality tale of unwary innocence led astray by ungodly forces, but it quickly becomes apparent that Sybil and Amberley are both utterly transfixed by the girls' individual charms, and are themselves being manipulated by their canny guests into giving away all their power. Christine has soon inveigled her way into the upper echelons of the cult and into Sybil's bed, and the forces of darkness soon prove no match for this ambitious dolly girl on the make who is prepared to use her body to get herself wherever she wants to be in life. Unlike Sybil, Amberley or anyone else partaking of the cult's rituals, Christine really does appear to have 'powers' of some kind, and a character that means she was 'born to be a witch'. It's only natural in a way, considering Christine always previously wanted to be a glamour model. After all, as Sybil so succinctly puts it at one point, 'The entire advertising industry is witchcraft, darling. The poor old public is permanently spellbound!'
Ann Michelle became a virtual stalwart of exploitation cinema during this period; in due course she rapidly appeared in both "House of Whipcord" and "Psychomania". Both Michelle sisters also briefly appear in Lindsay Shonteff's downbeat rock groupie sexploitationer "Permissive". However they later renounced their involvement with this film, as did just about everybody else, behind the camera and in front of it. There's no denying the two leads' suitability for the roles they play here, though. Ann Michelle in particular hints at a flint-eyed mischief detectable behind the frolicsome sex-play she uses to hypnotise both man and Satanist alike.
Mostly shot using a grossly unflattering, over-lit lighting style by second unit man on "Village of the Damned" Gerald Moss (apart from the frenzied psychedelic satanic orgy sequences which feature the flabby cast cavorting in lurid saturated red gel lighting), it's astonishing just how very sleazy the film actually is, every inch of the nubile Michelle sisters' young bodies is lovingly explored in harsh, cellulite-exposing detail during the course of its snail-paced proceedings. There's even more of an aura of the disreputable and the forbidden about the film, though, when one considers that quality actors such as Patricia Haines and Neil Hallett -- who at one time were frequent guest artists on popular shows like "The Avengers" when they were being sold to countries all around the world -- were here expected to strip off and prance around for a lingering and unforgiving barrage of drably photographed full-frontal shenanigans, such was the parlous state of the industry by this stage in their careers. The film is, consequently, somehow perversely satisfying despite (or because of) it being so utterly artless and crude in its execution. It fizzles out towards the end though, and the incidental but intriguing connection that was made earlier between the sexual allure of youth as mediated by modern advertising and the ritual power of witchcraft, is thrown away somewhat in a poorly realised conclusion that looks as though it was made up on the spot. Nevertheless, "Virgin Witch" is worth adding to the collection if you're an aficionado of British horror and cult erotica, for the film has accumulated a weird retrospective appeal over the years that belies much of the actual content.
Odeon Entertainment's new release looks about the same as all previous DVD incarnations of the film: a fairly robust transfer with good colour and adequate sharpness, and a slightly muffled but acceptable mono audio track seems to be about par for the course when it comes to this film. Meanwhile the extras are limited to a theatrical trailer and a gallery of production stills. You also get quite a sizable collection of trailers for films in Odeon Entertainment's Best of British Collection. Lastly, the disc comes with some very informative and interesting production notes written by Simon Sheridan (author of 'Keeping the British End Up – Four Decades of Saucy Cinema'), who has exposed a few myths and found a few rare quotes relating to the film that will interest many a fan of the cinema of this ignoble but fascinating period in the life and near-death of the British film Industry. Well worth seeking out.

Do you want to allow peoples to add their products to your eCommerce website without giving access them to site backend. Adding and managing WooCommerce products from frontend is indeed a very good idea. Frontend posting and editing of products is a more user friendly idea when it comes to your product editing staff with a mere knowledge of WordPress backend.
In other words, WordPress backend is not all about WooCommerce. If one of your editor doesn't have enough experience with WordPress, they might get their mind messed up with scattered options in backend panel. So, to make thing easier, better to set up a frontend posting editing system for their staff dedicated to product editing.
In this tutorial, I will tell you how to post WooCommerce Products this with the help of Formidable Pro plugin and CRED plugin
Setting up WooCommerce frontend posting with the help of Formidable Pro
- Web Hosting
- Self Hosted WordPress
- WooCommerce
- Formidable Pro
After installing and activating both WooCommerce and Formidable Pro;
- Go to Formidable Pro > Forms > Add New form
- Add a form with following fields;
- Product Title (text field)
- Product Description (Rich text field)
- Product Tags (tag field)
- Product Category (a dropdown field)
- Product Price (text field)
- Featured Image (file upload field – specify file types JPG, PNG or any other picture format)
- On creating the form, you need to customize form settings
- Go to form settings > Actions > Add New action > Create Post
See the post settings carefully in the image given below
You can map many WooCommerce custom fields to the product form fields and this will gather the submitted data to the attached custom field such as price, featured image, regular price, sale price etc. You can also asign created post status to "draft", "published" or even "pending review".
Some important WooCommerce-Product-related custom fields
|Custom field
|Value for form field
|in stock, out of stock
|(use numeric field)
|yes, no
|(use numeric field)
|yes, no
|(use date field)
|(use date field)
Setting up WooCommerce frontend posting using CRED plugin
- Web Hosting
- Self Hosted WordPress
- WooCommerce
With CRED, you need not to find out product related custom fields
CRED is another incredible plugin that lets you create WordPress posts and custom post types. Even you can find and map custom fields from any other plugin developed by somebody else and gather data for that custom field.
Here is how CRED work
- Install and activate CRED plugin
- If you want to generate a WooCommerce product form automatically, then go to CRED > New Post Form > Created content
- Choose Post Type > Product
- Set status whatever you like
- Go to WordPress admin menu > CRED > Custom fields
- Choose "Product" from dropdown, select option "show hidden fields". It will display all WooCommerce Product
- On Edit CRED Form page, click on the "Auto Generate Form" button. It will generate shortcodes automatically and you can insert and modify added code as desired.
- Save the created form and then Go to WordPress pages > Add New page. Here insert created form using the "CRED Form" button placed just above the text editor
- Auto generated product form will add following fields (as shown in the given image);
Try Toolset Forms (Formerly CRED)
If you are looking forward to map custom fields manually and want more data to get submitted via frontend, then see the video to learn how to map custom fields to form fields
You can map available custom field to appropriate type of form field type. For example map _price custom field to a numeric form field and so on.
I hope this post will have given you the basic idea to setup not only WooCommerce product frontend posting but also you can get it working for any post type.
Next thing is editing products on frontend. I have written a detailed post on it. You can access it here

A recent study released by stepdadding.com illustrates some interesting data: husbands who serve as stepfathers are twice as likely to leave their wives than husbands in traditional marriages. More than half (61%) of male respondents who articulated an end to their remarriage were the ones who initiated the divorce. It seems that the strain of adjusting to a blended family might be part of the reason that certain families fall apart, leading to a call to a divorce attorney.
When it comes to the survey respondents and their backgrounds, all of the men who initiated the split from a second or third marriage were stepfathers to at least one child. When looking at traditional marriages and the numbers of men who initiate the divorce, step dads do so at twice the rate of traditional relationships.
The same men who were polled listed leading reasons for the divorce being "arguments over the kids" as well as "a feeling of being unappreciated". Another one-third of men in this situation did not feel clear about their parenting role in the new marriage, hinting that serving as a step-parent is considered a serious challenge by many individuals.
Choosing how to parent the children is difficult enough, and this serves as a common cause for fighting between two parents. That situation is amplified when other parents (like ex-wives and ex-husbands) are involved and when step-parents don't feel full authority to discipline children as needed. In this situation, feelings of frustration and remorse can build up between two adults, causing friction in the relationship and causing one or both to consider divorce. If you have been struggling in your second or third marriage to adapt to raising step-children, you are not alone. If you're contemplating divorce, reach out today to the offices of a qualified Illinois family attorney.

Manuaali 1.8 l Bensiini: 1969 Saab 96 Rally Car
The classified advertisement is in Finnish, but the seller has an English language description and build thread here on saabisti.fi. The 96 has a documented rally history from the 1970s and has had its Denver Broncos paint scheme refreshed a few years ago.
Propelling this little rock launcher forward is a compact 1.8 liter Ford V4 engine that features SOHC/Pinto pistons, and a crazy looking cross flow intake with twin Weber 40 DCOE carbs. It should make for a screamer of a little engine.
The interior is all business and features a roll cage and various racer bits like the big battery cutoff key-switch, racing seats and harness.

These things love being sideways on dirt roads. Two 96's in a row have me all giddy.ReplyDelete
The image of the sidedraft Weber is worth a good chunk of change. I had triple webers on a TR6 and I opened the hood just to look at it. Never got old, but the massive rust on the rear sub-frame did.
What's a Denver Bronco?ReplyDelete
Looks more like like a Dutch Prince of Orange flag, New York City Flag and world's fair, or New York Mets color scheme. They are all the same.
I know that some people run cars without aircleaners* , but what happened to the spark plug wires?
*in the dirt? really?

Forky: a life on film
After decades of service, the three-pronged plasticware gets a shot at stardom
Scott Marks 12:30 p.m., July 26
Sledgehammer comedy about four buddies (Bradley Cooper, Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Justin Bartha) who go to Vegas for a bachelor party and wake up the morning after with no memory of the night before, a tiger in the bathroom, a baby in the closet, and the mystery of a missing bridegroom. Boys will be bores. With Heather Graham, Ken Jeong, Jeffrey Tambor, and, as himself, Mike Tyson; directed by Todd Phillips. 2009.
I have to say that we were not at all disappointed when we say this movie. We went in thinking we had probably seen the best stuff in the trailers and that's just the way it turned out. Can you believe the guy who played the dentist actually went so far as to have his own dentist remove a dental implant for his part? That's just so ridiculous!!!!
Thank you, pilote. I couldn't agree more with your comments. And, the trailers could've even kept some of that stuff hidden, like Tyson throwing that punch. Imagine how much funnier it would've been, not seeing that coming.
The movie has its moments, but I think you'll see most of them on the trailer. Maybe I expected too much, but the premise made you demand it. Too unrealistic, too improbable; if you really want mindless entertainment, this movie is for you.
Yeah, I heard him tell that story in an interview. I guess if it's easy enough to put the tooth back in, go for it. It's certainly a lot safer than these actors that pull a DeNiro and gain 50 pounds for a role!

Northeast Extension Risk Management Education Center at home at UD
For the past 16 years, the University of Delaware's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources has housed the Northeast Extension Risk Management Education Center, a center focused on providing public and private sector organizations with funding for educational projects designed to improve the ability of agricultural producers to effectively manage the complex risks associated with their agribusinesses. The center — one of four regional centers serving the United States as well as Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands and American Samoa — is funded by the United States Department of Agriculture's (USDA) National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) and its responsibility spans 12 states from Maine to West Virginia, as well as the District of Columbia. A key feature of the producer-focused program is that it is "results-based" – awards are made to projects that clearly identify risk management results for the participants. The results are the specific, measurable and verifiable risk management outcomes that producers will understand, analyze, develop, decide or implement in managing their agribusinesses, and which will ultimately enhance their economic viability. Laurie Wolinski, center director, said that the center usually funds 12-16 projects a year with $50,000 being the maximum that can be awarded to a particular project. "We conduct a competitive grant program that awards funds to educators in the region for delivering risk management education to farmers and producers," said Wolinski. "When the grants are written, the applicants need to demonstrate the type of measurable impacts that will be recognized by producers in the region to ultimately improve their economic viability." Projects are funded for an 18-month cycle with a typical timeframe of April 1 through Sept. 30 the following year. One such project that was funded in 2015 was led by Dan Severson, a Cooperative Extension agent for New Castle County. Severson led a needs assessment project with Susan Garey, extension agent, for back yard small ruminant farmers in the state to learn how they could help their clientele be better producers. "First we sent out a survey through the Delaware Veterinary Association to see how many veterinarians are willing to work on small ruminants. Then we sent out a needs assessment to our producers to see what they would like to have more education on, and it came back that they needed basic veterinary skills," said Severson. "We did a series of lecture-based workshops and then we did some hands-on workshops where producers actually got to work with sheep." Severson said that using the funds from the center was a huge help as it allowed him to focus on the workshops and not worry about budget constraints. "I didn't have any problems working with the center. After you did your proposal they let you do your thing, so we're hoping to use the exploratory grant to apply for a larger grant in the future to basically elaborate or put together a curriculum for small ruminants. I'd just say if you haven't applied for one, it's well worth your time. I found the application process simple and straight forward," said Severson. Wolinski said that the center's focus and resources are important because of all the uncertainties that are involved with farming. "The uncertainties involved require all types of risk management. Everything from weather and input prices, to marketing and profitability, changing technology and regulations to farm transition – a topic that can be especially challenging for families to address. There are just so many different aspects of agricultural risk management," said Wolinski. In addition to Wolinski, the center is staffed by Susan Olson, program coordinator, and Michelle McCullough, administrative assistant. The center was founded by H. Don Tilmon, a retired Cooperative Extension farm management specialist and professor. For more information on the center, visit the regional or national website. Those interested in learning more can contact Wolinski or Olson. Article by Adam Thomas This article can also be viewed on UDaily.

Slutty Brownies seem to be every food blogger's go-to recipe at the moment. They are being pinned, posted about and shared all over every social network I look at and they always look mighty fine. So how could I not try them? In truth I've been craving them for a couple of weeks now, but only got around to making them yesterday.
So are they worth all they hype?
Frankly? No. They're alright in terms of amount-of-effort vs reward, but in terms of a delicious treat, I'd much rather eat this, or this (particularly that one), or this, or even this!
The combination of ready-bought biscuit-mix, muffin-mix and soggy Oreo biscuits just isn't particularly great. If it was made with homemade ingredients it would be much nicer, but it would still have those damp soggy Oreos in the middle and it's the whole slutty easiness which makes the recipe so appealing in the first place…
Even my 7 year old's response was 'mummy, I don't really like this' and half the brownie was left on the plate. Gobsmacked is not the word. It's a chocolatey treat, I didn't think it would be rejected by a small boy.
That's not to say they're totally without merit. If you're looking for an easy treat which involves minimum effort then by all means give them a try – I'd love to know whether you're as underwhelmed as I am or whether you've found the secret to making them truly delicious…
You don't really need a recipe for slutty brownies, but I've made you handy infographic which tells you pretty much all you need to know. If you did need a 'proper' recipe for Slutty Brownies I got mine here.
Let me know what you think

adrift surf is not your everyday surf store. It's a place where anyone, not just surfers, can feel comfortable, find something not available everywhere and enjoy the experience. We aim to attract like minded people and encourage a new generation of free spirited individuals with a vision of the surfing lifestyle.

Over 40 years after its release, Albe Falzon's Morning of The Earth continues to resonate with surfers old & young everywhere. The fact that there is a whole new younger generation looking for their own 'Morning of The Earth Moments' is testimony to the film & its portrayal of a simple surfing life. Morning of The Earth is a genuine 'one of' & to attempt to make a sequel would only remove the soul of the original. Can you imagine being faced with the challenge of making such a film? Much like Albe, Andrew Kidman with movies like Litmus,Glass Love etc has always pursued a more soulful line. Now that its done, he sticks out as such an obvious choice to take this on that I am surprised it took so long for something like this to happen. Perhaps, with the take as many waves at any cost mentality found at most breaks these days, the timing couldn't be better!
The clip below from Positive Productions gives a little bit of an insight into Andrew's background & his thought process when brainstorming in his own head how to pull together this project.
The movie had a showing at The San Sebastian Film Festival in September & was very well received. It has its official world premiere release at The Sydney Opera House on January 25th 2014 as part of the Festival of Sydney . There is a short trailer on the net but it does not really give to much away in terms of actual footage. To get the full effect with live music we'll have to wait until Australia day long-weekend. I know Albe has been helping out here & there over the past few years that it has taken to get this film together. I have no doubts that, like its source of inspiration, it will be another important marker in Australian surfing & film making.
World champion surfers such as Mick Fanning, Stephanie Gilmore, Tom Curren, Kelly Slater & Beau Young have joined the new guard of Heath Joske, Harrison Roach, Ellis Ericson, Ace Buchan & Jon Jon Florence, alongside 'soul surfers' Fergal Smith, Joel & Kye Fitzgerald among many more.
Filmed in locations throughout the world including Australia, Hawaii, Bali, Fiji, Tahiti, Mexico & Ireland, the film uses striking visuals & music reminiscent of the classic Koyaanisqatsi & Baraka, to portray the compelling beauty of surfing & its associated lifestyle.
The Spirit of Akasha soundtrack features mainly original songs composed & recorded by musicians with strong ties to the surfing community & includes a rare Brian Wilson recording. Other artists featured include Atoms for Peace, Andrew VanWyngarden, Chris Robinson Brotherhood, Xavier Rudd, Angus Stone, Matt Corby, Dirty Three & many more.
Albe Falzon decided at a pretty young age that normal employment & a regular life were not going to satisfy him. Since making that choice he has been places & done stuff that the majority of us cannot even imagine. Living simply on the North Coast eco farm he purchased back in the 70's he continues to live in the moment according to he own set of values in total harmony with nature & whatever the world send his way. His comments in this short clip really make you think about where you are at & where you are going in life. Morning of The Earth still shows us what we all should be doing & I have a pretty good hunch that Akasha will more than serve that legacy.

For Mr.Jeremy
At office, the colleagues there were planning to have our CEO's birthday party.. just a small potluck, so we were assigned to do the cake. at first we were quite reluctant because we don't want it to be kecoh about our favourite past time.. but after the persuasion and begging.. ok lah, we finally agreed, but with few conditions.. we bake our second attempt snickers cheese cake and at last this is the result. So hope they like it especially the birthday boy.
Sorry if the face is not as handsome as the real person. hehehe :)

Applicable to:
- Plesk for Linux
Web statistics tools operate by processing information from log files, including visitors' IP addresses. How to disable IP address logging in case this is considered a GDPR violation?
To ensure that the server is GDPR compliant without disabling web statistics completely, disable IP addresses' logging. This way, you can keep web statistics running, although the quality of its reports will decrease.
Note: if you disable IP addresses' logging, security tools like fail2ban will stop working. Consider the implications of both options before you come to your decision.
Disabling IP address logging in Apache
1. Login to Plesk via SSH
2. Create a custom templates directory:
# install -m 0755 -d /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom
3. Copy the file server.conf to the custom directory:
# cp -f /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/server.php /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/
4. Modify the log format replacing '%a' with '-':
# perl -pi -e 's,%a,-,g/' /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/server.php
5. Reconfigure Apache:
# plesk sbin httpdmng --reconfigure-server
Disabling IP address logging in Nginx
1. Create a file named
/etc/nginx/conf.d/aa900_logs_without_ip.conf with the following content:
CONFIG_TEXT: log_format noip '- - $remote_user [$time_local]'
'"$request" $status $body_bytes_sent '
'"$http_referer" "$http_user_agent"';
2. Create a custom templates directory:
# install -m 0755 -d /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain
3. Copy the original template to the custom directory:
# cp -f /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/default/domain/nginxDomainVirtualHost.php /usr/local/psa/admin/conf/templates/custom/domain/
4. Find a string beginning with 'access_log' and add 'noip' to the end of the string (before semicolon), so that it looks like this:
# access_log "<?php echo $VAR->domain->physicalHosting->logsDir . '/' .($OPT['ssl'] ? 'proxy_access_ssl_log' : 'proxy_access_log') ?>" noip;
5. Reconfigure the web server:
# plesk sbin httpdmng --reconfigure-server

I know the kind of reaction I would have gotten once you read the title. Why, oh why, would you want to read about a regular day in my life. I know, it sounds so silly.
Which is why, I would never put you through the torture of listening to my ongoing complaints.
What I'm really going to do, however, is take you through a day in the life of young Zarina.
Meet Zarina. Zarina is five years old, and she lives on the streets in Karachi. Every day, she gets up at six in the morning, to be picked up by a mean driver who drops off little beggars all over the city. Zarina carries a little pocket-mirror with her, which helps her ensure that she has dressed suitably enough. Picking up some sand from her surroundings, Zarina hurriedly rubs it across her face. She knows that doing that will cause pimples later, but that would only add to the appearance. Zarina has now achieved the look that would cause a number of hearts to melt, encouraging them to drop a 10-rupee note into her bare hands.
After Zarina has tapped on every car's window that came to shop at Gulf Way, and collected a sum of about thousand rupees, she is picked up by the same mean driver. The driver collects the money from Zarina, and pockets it, while Zarina looks sadly at the money she had collected. In return, the mean driver bangs Zarina's head against the dashboard and gives her a grubby twenty-rupee note to buy herself lunch and dinner for that day. Meanwhile, in his head, he is imagining where he was going to take his family out for dinner today.
After Zarina is dropped off at the house, the run-down house she lives in with many others like her, the driver gives his boss two-hundred rupees, saying that Zarina did not earn well that day. Zarina stares open-mouthed at him, but does not say anything. She knows what the outcome will be. She will be taken into that room, that dark, dark room, and beaten until she can't breathe. Then he will stop, flex his arms, and beat her some more. Zarina would cry herself to sleep that night.
The next morning, she would wake up to face all that again. Zarina doesn't want to, but for her, there seems to be no other way. For her, that monster is like heaven, her saviour. He provides her with shelter, food and clothes. Zarina couldn
t dare to leave such a place. Getting beaten everyday seems like a little price to pay for all that.
Zarina needs to know that there are other options. The beggars on our windows, the ones who irk us so easily, they at times are way better off than us. If a rich, educated person cannot work to bring a child out of their misery, then who can?
Who then, deserves to be called literate?
Think. Are we really that developed a country as we claim to be? Is this what humanity is about?
Two minutes. That's all it takes.

Small and independent craft brewers contributed $33.9 billion to the U.S. economy in 2012, according to an economic report commissioned by the Brewers Association.
"With a strong presence across the 50 states and the District of Columbia, craft breweries are a vibrant and flourishing economic force at the local, state and national level," Bart Watson, the Brewers Association's staff economist, said in the release.
The five states where craft had the most impact were California, Texas, New York, Pennsylvania and Colorado. Together, the five states generated just under 38 percent of craft's overall output in 2012, ringing in a combined $12.8 billion.
Five other states — Illinois, Oregon, Ohio, Washington and Michigan — rounded out the top ten and also contriuted more than $1 billion each in economic impact.
The Brewers Association also analyzed the output of the craft brewing industry on a per capita basis for adults over 21. Not surprisingly, smaller states like Vermont, Maine and Montana ranked in the top five. Oregon topped the list, generating $448.56 per capita for adults over 21. In Vermont, the per capita output is over $418. The national average economic impact, per capita, is $149.46.
In an email to Brewbound, Watson said that states like California and Texas will generally have larger total outputs than smaller geographies like Vermont or Maine adding that "on a per capita basis, the craft brewing industry contributes more to the economies of those smaller states than the craft industry does in the larger ones."
To determine the results, the Brewers Association said it conducted two national surveys and examined the responses using IMPLAN economic analysis data software. The Brewers Association said it also sourced pricing and sales estimates from a variety of data suppliers like IRI and GuestMetrics to determine the total impact of beer brewed by craft brewers as it made its way through the three-tier supply chain. Additionally, the organization calculated non-beer products sold by brewpub restaurants, according to a press release.
This is the first time the group has measured the impact of craft beer on the economy and Watson said he plans to continue conducting this research on an annual basis.
According to additional information provided by the association, 363,703 full-time jobs have been created by the craft brewing industry in the U.S. More than 44,000 of those jobs are in California, the most of any state. By comparison, North Dakota employed the fewest full-time craft brewery workers in 2012 but contributed $82 million to the economy — more than $111,000 per person.

These cars are every new driver's fantasy. Cars in films have always given pop culture an extra sense of time and place and it is for this reason that these cars are such integral parts of these films and TV shows. Years later it is these memorable motors that have stood the test of time.
1. The A-Team 1983 – 1983 GMC G-15
They love it when a plan comes together, they pity fools, and they come packaged in this behemoth of a van. The GMC van, black with red stripes, is their vessel of justice, revenge and kick-ass missions. Complete with rooftop spoiler (awesome) this Vandura is not to be messed with, so watch out bad guys. Fun fact, the GMC went between having and not having a sunroof in the TV show, leading to some rather glaring continuity errors. Oh well, probably wasn't a deal breaker…
2. The Love Bug (1962) – 1962 Volkswagen Beetle
Herbie is something of a forgotten legend in the zeitgeist generation (no thanks to Lindsay Lohan) but back in 1962 Disney first put this cute little critter of a car on screen to great critical and financial reward. What Herbie might lack in power he (or she) makes up for in loyalty, love and laughs. The VW Beetle remains a classic to this day with it's bizarre curved roof and inextricably human features, you'll stand out amongst the usual silver and red cars. Racing stripes included upon completion of your driving test!
3. Starsky and Hutch 1975/2004 – 1975 Ford Gran Torino
David Starsky and Kenneth Hutchinson, better known as Starsky and Hutch, were the ever so proud owners of this true classic. The popular 70's TV show saw the crime fighting duo turn this beast into a screen icon, nary closing a case without its assistance. The paint job, red with white detail, puts the finishing touches to what is a damn good-looking car. Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson kindly brought the car into the modern mainstream with their 2004 remake, and there it stays in our minds and hearts. Best not to hire these guys as instructors though, they're a little too stunt prone.
4. Dukes of Hazzard 1979/2005 – 1969 Dodge Charger
Another 70's TV car, the 1969 Dodge Charger owned by Bo and Luke in Dukes of Hazzard even has it's own name. The General Lee comes only in orange, a confederate flag painted on the roof, the number 01 on each door with the words "General Lee" above. Not only does this car have character but it is one. As it's a racing car the doors are sealed shut, and I'd like to see anyone pretend they wouldn't feel like the bees knees jumping in the window every morning. This baby will plough through any terrain, just ask the Dukes, though you may get frustrated trying to charge (no pun intended) through London rush hour. That said, the show supposedly went through around 300 chargers during filming, and that's not including the inevitable 2005 remake.
5. Thelma and Louise 1991/Wild at Heart 1990 – 1966 Ford Thunderbird
In need of a break from your overbearing husband or parents? Then this is the car for you! Back in 1991 Ridley Scott deified this car as the pass to freedom for Thelma and Louise in this modern classic. Before that she also featured in David Lynch's magical Wild At Heart, showing this model is the go to for impromptu road trips. So if you're looking for that incentive to get you over the finish line when you're learning to drive, just think imagine yourself next to Nick Cage, hair in the wind and on the road to freedom!

Was here for 3 hours today. Got a couple nibbles but no bites. Lots of Pelicans and ducks. Best luck was on the dock at the boat launch. Ground is still pretty soft from the rain, heads up!
by cabinetboss on Dec. 26, 2015
Can you ice fish here or do they die off in the winter? If so any idea how thick the ice is right now?
by Captcagey on Aug. 20, 2014
Just wondering how the fishing is at Michichi this year. Was there a couple years ago and it was terrible. Anyone been there lately?

Has any body fished here lately going this weekend
by Johnny Ray on Aug. 21, 2012
Good lake when it winters!
by Matteicci on Jul. 9, 2011
Had several small bites on corn and powerbait, the rainbow here are still very small after being restocked. I was told most of the trout died off in 2009, after a overgrowth of algae.

Compare Insurance Quotes From Multiple Companies
Toy Hauler Insurance Basics
A toy hauler can be a very expensive investment, so it's imperative to make sure you protect it with specialty RV insurance before you take your toys out on the road. By having the right coverage, you can also have peace of mind knowing that if anything happens to your toy hauler, you are covered.
Everyone wants to make sure they have adequate protection for their vacation getaway. That's why it's important to make sure you protect your toy hauler with specialty RV insurance coverage. With the valuable contents it carries, it's necessary to make sure you have
that specialized coverage against theft, fuel-related fire, and more.
Let AIS RV specialists help you figure out what coverage you need.
Call us today at (800) 449-8943 for your free insurance quote.
Specific Toy Hauler Coverages
Getting to know the types of coverages available is the first step.
Here are some things to be aware of before taking that road trip.
This is a good coverage to have for the items within the toy hauler in the event that the whole unit is damaged. A basic toy hauler policy may only cover the actual toy hauler and not the contents within it.
Replaces total losses with the latest model (new-for-old) or, if not available, a comparable model.
In the event of a total loss, our expanded Agreed Value coverage pays you the amount originally spent for the travel trailer or the appraised value, with no deduction for depreciation and no deductible.
How can AIS help?
At AIS RV, we seek out the policy that best matches your price and protection needs. We have access to multiple high quality insurance companies, which makes it easy to compare toy hauler insurance quotes to find the best combination of price and coverage for you. We can save you time and money-- all while teaching you everything you need to know about your coverage.
Question: Are all the "toys" in the toy hauler covered?
Answer: No. Any motorized vehicles, such as ATV, dune buggies, etc., require their own insurance policy.
Question: Are there any discounts available for toy hauler insurance?
Answer: Some companies offer discounts for being a part of an RV membership or association. Multi policy discounts are available, if you have multiple policies through the same company. Contact your AIS RV agent for details.

The second mile of the swim proved more difficult that the first. Now that we were clear of the small barrier islands, the full effect of the wind became apparent blowing up waves from the East. Coupled with this, the tide started coming in from Fire Island inlet in full force – in direct opposition from the wind – creating a chumming effect. It felt like trying to swim in a washing machine. I had a lot of trouble keeping my body level in that mess as some strokes would lead me to breath in full waves and others would flip me over on to my back. I think I spent as much time swimming forward as I did up and sideways.
I wasn't the only one having difficulty with the waves. Each time I managed to get a glimpse of my kayakers they were bailing out their tiny ship. I have no idea how Kevin managed to steer the boat as well as he did but we remained parallel for the entire journey. Having Dad and Kevin along side was very comforting as I was tossed around.
The 8 pairs of goggles we brought turned out to be fortuitous as the force of the waves broke several pairs of my glasses. I must have been swimming the wrong way as I didn't hear of any other swimmers having this problem. Still, fortune favors the prepared and I dutifully retired at least 5 pairs of goggles that day. My MP3 player was attached to my first set of goggles and I never did get the time to re-attach it to the other pairs. It woud have been nice to mark the time but I was certainly not bored. The effort made the swim seem interminable though.
The effects of swimming in that chop were plain exhaustion. Things didn't smooth out until around mile 4 or so and by that time I was too tired to capitalize on the relatively flat water. It was everything I could do to keep my arms rolling over. I could literally feel the muscles in my rotator cuffs fraying. Having recovered from a torn rotator cuff 2 years earlier I knew the feeling well. Each stroke I had to make a concious decision to keep injuring myself so I could keep going.
Making the swim even more fun was my 'farmer John wetsuit. This wetsuit is sleveless, like a tank top, and continues to my ankles. Over time the salt and sand kicked up in the chop made their way into my suit. Each stroke was like sandpaper. I began to understand why some swimmers opted to do the race in speedos. Despite the pain and the open sores the suit created along my chest and under my arms I was very thankful for the buoyancy it provided. I am not sure I would have been able to finish with out it. The fish even got in on the act with something biting me on my toe! That was another nice open, bleeding wound for the salt water to creep into. FUN!
Each time we would swim past a marker, I would ask Kevin the time. I would calculate my average speed in my head and the results were not impressive. I figured I was dead last. By the time we were at the 3.5 mile point I could plainly see the masts of the sailing ships in the harbour we were aiming for. Nothing to do but keep heading that way. Every so often I would ask for some water. The salt water had gotten into my mounth and I've never been as thirsty as I had been on that swim. Unfortunately my throat was too sore to swallow so I could only swish the water around in my mouth. This provided a little comfort but not much.
I remember being disappointed in myself towards the tail end of the race. I began evaluating where my training went wrong. Did I really give supreme effort in my training? No. Should I have dieted and cross trained? Yes. Why didn't I hire a swim coach to help my technique? Thoughts that I had wasted, absolutely squandered the last 18 months of my life played through out my head as I slowly made my way to the shore.
By mile 4 I was absolutely defeated. Luckily my kayakers were not.
By mile 4 the sun was shining, the water was flat, and Kevin was obviously having a great time! He had his sunglasses on and a ridiculous excuse of a boonie hat and was working on his tan. Gone from his mind were any thoughts of capsizing or bailing out water. He was on vacation! So Kevin started doing what any training partner would. He started yelling at me to go faster!
I remember being so tired that I flopped on to my back for a minute. I looked out on the horizon, the place I had swam from and I could not see the beach at all. What I could see were a bunch of other swimmers and kayakers! I wasn't in last place. I was still in a race! And it was time to go faster.
Well, my mind was made up and I put everything I had into finishing strong. I don't think my body complied with the request to increase speed but I will say that it was a lot easier to swim the final mile and a quarter without those negative thoughts weighing me down.
It was soon after that I was swimming past the docks and I could hear the crowds cheering. I had done it. I had finally finished. A goal that I had set sitting on a plane returing from the Holy land 18 months earlier was finished. It was a hell of a journey. What an amazing feeling. I don't have the words to describe it. So I'll let someone else do it for me;
"That which we obtain too easily, we esteem too lightly."
