The San Jose Museum of Art will launch a new exhibition series called "Beta Space" this March. Like the legendary Silicon Valley garage, Beta Space will serve as an experimental laboratory for artists, collaborative ventures, and catalytic ideas. The Museum has converted the north gallery on the second floor for this ongoing series of exhibitions, which will begin with new work by Kevin Appel and Ruben Ochoa on March 26.
Beta Space sprung from the Museum's 2010 strategic plan, which calls for the Museum to more closely connect its audiences with artists and with the artistic process; to showcase the cross-disciplinary interests of many contemporary artists; to foster timely community collaborations; to take advantage of community resources; and to reflect the diversity and innovative spirit of Silicon Valley. Rotating every six to eight months, Beta Space will feature new work by a variety of artists commissioned by the Museum. The artists will be encouraged to experiment and venture into new areas.
The first installment, on view March 26-August 14, 2011, will feature new works by Appel and Ochoa, two Los Angeles-based artists known for rethinking the built environment. Appel focuses on domestic settings, while Ochoa explores urban landscapes. Beta Space will bring the two artists together for an artistic "conversation" to imagine alternative urban spaces and domestic habitats. The collaboration is enhanced by their history: Appel taught Ochoa at the University of California, Irvine.
Ruben Ochoa is fascinated by the built environment, particularly urban spaces that are punctuated by obtrusive cement walls, sidewalks, chain-link fences, and concrete footings. For "Beta Space," Ochoa plans a massive installation of metal fence posts and concrete forms, suspended from the ceiling like a chandelier. Ochoa's work has been the subject of solo exhibitions at the Museum of Contemporary Art, San Diego; Susanne Vielmetter Los Angeles Projects, Culver City, CA; Site Santa Fe, NM; and numerous galleries nationwide. His work is in the collections of such institutions as the Museum of Contemporary Art, Los Angeles; the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York; the Armand Hammer Museum, University of California, Los Angeles; and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
Kevin Appel belongs to a generation of artists who mine Los Angeles's legacy of modernist residential architecture. In his most recent work, he creates hypothetical architectural interventions in the landscape by painting over images taken from nature magazines. For Beta Space, Appel is creating a large architectural scrim and several new paintings. Appel has had one-person exhibitions at Acme, Los Angeles; The Suburban, Chicago; Two Rooms Gallery, Auckland, New Zealand; Wilkinson Gallery, London; and other venues. His work is included in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art, New York; the Los Angeles County Museum of Art; the New York Public Library; the Saatchi Collection, London; and other public and private collections.
"Beta Space: Kevin Appel and Ruben Ochoa" is organized by Kristen Evangelista, associate curator, and sponsored by the James Irvine Foundation and Technology Credit Union.

[A] Rainmantle House
Frenne posted a topic in RP Guilds/Associations RecruitmentRAINMANTLE HOUSE Backstory: Headed by Frenne, his network of craftsmen, spies, writers, enforcers, researchers and influential members of society group together at the manor of Lord Jaxus Rainmantle. Rules: Be civil, be inviting, be creative. RP will be fairly loose, guild arcs will rarely have success based off of rolls, instead opting for method taken. Joining: Speak to any guild member about setting up a meeting. Don't worry about your character's class, there can always be a use, and anyone who wants to come is welcome. Role: 90% RP purposes, don't expect a full RBG or Raid team. There will still likely be some PvP or PvE, but it will not be an official guild event. Alignment: For all intents and purposes, you become neutral inside of Rainmantle manor, outside of it you can be as evil or good as your heart desires. Feel free to use and abuse this neutrality inside the manor, as it extends to non-guild members as well.

Positive Personality Traits: Even headed, polite, in control of himself. Negative Personality Traits: Deep-seeded disrespect of authority. History: Born in Gilneas, Frenne's father was not imprisoned despite raping his mother, as a result of this; both of Frenne's parents were distant at best and abusive at worst. Frenne spent much of his early childhood learning to read and to write, and admiring the rebels for fighting Greymane and his choice to build the wall. Once the Worgen began to assail the people of Gilneas City, Frenne took a knife from his kitchen, defending himself on the way out of the city. Before he could be glad to have survived, however, the Forsaken assaulted Gilneas. Frenne was not evacuated with the rest of Gilneas, instead surviving in the ruins. Shortly before the end of events in Pandaria, Frenne found a boat, sailing out of Gilneas and landing in Booty Bay. After reaching Booty Bay, Frenne was sent to Ratchet and trained by the Steamwheedle cartel in assassination and pragmatism, following their tutelage and working for them until shortly after the Iron Horde invaded. During the Iron Horde invasion, Frenne took contracts from different employers, eventually finding his way to Arathi Highlands; where he stalked and eventually joined the crew of the Jade Lion, if unofficially. Over the course of a few months, Frenne got allies and enemies on the crew. Frenne then spent 5 months presumed dead, and came back, before splitting off from the crew in all forms. During this split, Frenne empowered a young man to the station of nobility, using them as a puppet while he worked from the shadows. Frenne is currently in the service of SI:7 as an attaché to King Varian Wrynn's minister of foreign relations.
Pages of the Kingmaker
Frenne posted a topic in Character JournalsJanuary 17 Okay, so kingmaker may be an exaggeration, but "noble-maker" doesn't have quite the same ring to it. Nevertheless, I've found my mark, a "Jaxus Rainmantle". The lad is well groomed and has enough noble in him to make a good puppet. Daelm is on his way to manage negotiations, see if I can garner influence with the judges and get a sponsor to make Rainmantle into a lord. January 20 Lady luck favors us, Jaxus has made the appropriate impressions; at least with Daelm's help. In a half a week he will be an established noble, however this little operation has costed me most of my influence in the Alliance courts, not like rebuilding it will be too hard. Anyways, I've made arrangements for a base of operations in Surwich, so I'm staying where I might be needed. January 22 Fad managed a meeeting. I should promote him. Regardless, I have work ahead of me. Hearts and minds to win over. Danariel has reached the last straw, however. More than 3 bounties and an attempt on her life that left her looking like a pincushion and she refuses to go into hiding. Fool. To the north I go. January 23 I talked with the Dwarves about a safe haven, I negotiated the ability to hold councils and meetings within the bunker at Aerie Peak, it's a good place, defensible and good for the purpose I'll put it to. I talked to an ex-SI:7 field medic and procured his assistance, which should be good if and when the eventuality of sending agents out into the world comes around.

There are a number of illusions our brains are capable of making us think are real and the examples that follow are going to show you just how our brain really can play so many tricks on us. You need to remember that our brain is very complex and we only really understand a small percentage of how it all works, so seeing some of the things that we know it can do may help us to further understand the world around us.
We Think That There Are Patterns, When There Is No Such Thing
First, our brain is wonderful at telling us that there is some kind of pattern to a random scattering of objects, when in actual fact there is no such thing. If you scatter some rice on a table there is a pretty good chance that you will be able to pick out some kind of pattern in the rice, but the truth of the matter is that it is just a random scattering and it is merely our brain just trying to convince us that there is something there, when there is no such thing.
The Illusion Of Perspective
Have you ever looked at an image that shows perspective and believed that the object that seems to be further away is smaller? That is not always the case and in the case of an image it is often to do with what is around the object as this alters the way that we perceive other images. It is all a trick of the eye and our brain telling us that objects should be a different length because surely that is the thing that makes sense?

Last week, I offered my thoughts on the situation with Ronald Hendel and his decision not to renew his membership with SBL. That post not only attracted a fair amount of traffic but also got my name mentioned on a few other blog sites; neither of which was my intent. At first, I must admit, the mention and the traffic were nice surprises; but then further reflection prompted different kinds of questions, specifically: is either the mention or the traffic because something good or worthwhile was said, or is it because some are wanting to show what not to say? While the arrogant Lilliputian in me wants it to be the former, the self-conscious Goliath in me fears it might be the latter.
While I stand by my thoughts about why someone should or should not leave an organisation like SBL, and even though I used his own words and tried to make a distinction between Hendel as a person and his decision, I was out of line in saying that his conclusion 'was a bit cowardly'. I fear that my comment was unnecessary and certainly unhelpful. Admittedly, when I posted my thoughts, I was struggling with my own concerns and feelings of self-doubt; so it is entirely possible that I focused on Hendel in order to avert my attention off of my own cowardice. However, even if that was the case, that does not absolve me from what was said. My comments revealed a lack of wisdom and discernment on my part; I should have kept my mouth shut (Proverbs 11.12).
Shortly after posting my original thoughts, I was humbled by something on a friend's blog. My friend, Jake had a quote from Madeline L'Engle that said:
We draw people to Christ not by loudly discrediting what they believe, by telling them how wrong they are and how right we are, but by showing them a light that is so lovely that they want with all their hearts to know the source of it.
This quote is what ultimately caused me to reconsider everything and subsequently see the fault in my response. It also caused me to realise (remember) that my words not only spoke to Hendel; they spoke to everyone else. So, to Mr Hendel (and anyone else I may have offended with my comments): I offer my deepest apologies. I was not being what I am called to be, and I certainly did not respond in a wise and discerning way. I hope that you can forgive me.

Wild Card's description
The "Happy Ending" twist to Euro concerns involves the survival of the European political project and the emergence of a new "Euro Deal", which dramatically transforms the economic and political landscape of Europe. On the one hand, debt-crisis countries are "allowed" to leave the Euro but at a high political cost (massive reduction in the number of administrative officials in European Union institutions) and a moderate yet acceptable economic and fiscal cost (e.g. a new "Euro Deal" tax or new agreements in total contributions to the EU and total receipts from the EU). On the other hand, richer countries rapidly benefit from the new Euro Deal's reception by global financial markets and investors. Thus resulting in a steady recovery of economic and socio-political stability.

My posting today is unique because, this time, my make is jewelry. I like to dabble in jewelry making using found objects, stringing, beading and soldering. I don't do a whole lot of it because I am torn between working on Mixed Media projects and jewelry. Finnabair & Friends Open Studio Facebook has a challenge every month called Designer's Fave Challenge. For March, John Creighton Petersen, from Art New Wave is the Designer heading up the challenge and the theme is handmade jewelry. I made two pendants, one named 'Steampunk Bird' and the other named 'X Marks the Spot' using, both Finnabair Mechanicals, other hardware and clay.
Steampunk Bird Pendant
The idea behind this piece is that the nest and leaves are made of high tech metal with rivets, vice being made of natural twigs and leaves because in the post apocalyptic world and there are no trees. The base is a Finnabair Mechanicals Filigree. The nest is a lamp check ring, found at my local hardware store. The bird and eggs is made using Polymer Clay. The little leaves are store bought findings. Everything was treated with Christi Friesen Swellegants. Copper Paint, and Tiffany Green were used on the nest and bird. The eggs were treated with Brass paint and Gold-Green/Verdigris Patina. The filigree (the base) was painted first with Finnabair Heavy Black Gesso, then treated with Swellegant Bronze paint and Gold-Green/Verdigris Patina. What I love about Swellegant is the matte, aged effect metal finish it creates.
X Marks the Spot Pendant
I used Finnabair Mechanicals and gears. No glue, findings, bails or tools was used for this piece, just the Mechanicals, leather cord, and weaving some X's and knots. The pendant was treated with Christi Friesen Swellegant, Brass paint and Tiffany Green Patina and tinge of copper wax on the high rise surface areas. However for this piece, I used way more Patina that I did for the bird pendant, so that is why you see more of the copper patina effect. Whereby, for the bird and nest, I used way more copper paint.

SAN JOSE — A radioactive tool used to measure soil density was stolen from a company's truck Friday morning, and now the company is warning the public of the dangers of the tool if it gets into the wrong hands.
Sean Deivert said the nuclear gauge, belonging to Silicon Valley Soil Engineering, was stolen from his locked truck Friday, possibly while he was visiting a construction site in either the metropolitan area of San Jose or South San Jose.
The device is commonly used in construction to measure moisture and density of the soil, Deivert said.
Part of the tool is comprised of a small amount of radioactive material, which is about the size of a Tic Tac and is encased in steel. The tool is kept inside an orange and black toolbox, and if tampered with, could pose a health risk to someone if they are directly exposed to the material, Deivert added.
According to Deivert, each time a person comes in contact with the device, the amount of radiation they are exposed to is equivalent to what they would be exposed to if they were exposed to an X-ray.
Anyone who may know the whereabouts of the device can contact the company at 408-324-1400.

For many years we have wondered how we could provide training for people who are unable to attend our live 2-day workshops. The DVD training includes experiential activities so you can at least watch others participating in the activities and learning to teach the activities. Then you can practice the activities with friends or a "practice group."
Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott have completed a DVD training that includes 6 1/2 hours filmed at a live training and requires about 6 1/2 hours of homework to practice the skills in order to receive a certificate as a Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator. At the end of this training, you will be ready to lead parenting classes and/or improve your skills as a parent educator regardless of the setting in which you work (counseling office, pre-school, etc.)
A Certified Positive Discipline Parent Educator certificate will be awarded to you once the Answer Sheet is completed in a Word.doc/docx format. You will receive an email with feedback and a certificate signed by Jane Nelsen and Lynn Lott. The work involved to complete the answer sheet (14 questions) takes an additional 5 1/2 hours above and beyond watching the DVD's because it includes practicing some of the experiential activities and the Parents Helping Parents Problem-Solving Steps with friends.
CE Credit Information
Course meets qualifications for 13 hours Continuing Education. Positive Discipline has been approved by NBCC as an Approved Continuing Education Provider. ACEP No. 6723. Programs that do not qualify for NBCC credit are clearly identified. Positive Discipline is solely responsible for all aspects of the programs.
The training includes the following materials:
- Online Video Access
- A Teaching Parenting the Positive Discipline Way manual
- Positive Discipline book (E-Book options available through the publisher.)
- Positive Discipline Tool Cards
- Positive Discipline Workbook
- Certificate upon completion
A hallmark of the Positive Discipline workshops (and classes) is experiential activities. Role-playing is the most profound way to learn, not only in your head, but also in your heart and gut. Participating in experiential activities and role-playing is the best way to "get into the child's world" to understand what children are thinking, feeling, and deciding in response to the discipline methods used with them. How else can we really understand the long-term effects of discipline methods? Even parents who initially resist role-playing soon discover how much more they learn when they participate (or at least watch others role-playing). They soon give up their resistance and enjoy the fun and deep learning from experiential activities.
Another hallmark of Positive Discipline workshops is how much participants learn from each other. You will learn how to avoid long lectures and invite participants to share what they are learning from "getting into the child's world" through the experiential activities. The insights they share with each other is much more meaningful and heartfelt than any lectures they could hear from "experts."
Another great hallmark of Positive Discipline parenting classes that you will learn is the Parents Helping Parents Problem-Solving-Steps. During each parenting class, a volunteer parent shares a specific challenge with a child and you, the facilitator, lead the parent through a 14 step process that includes role-playing to "get into the child's world," and involves the whole group to brainstorm for solutions. This is very empowering to everyone one. The volunteer then chooses one suggestion and role-plays practicing it, or being the child to experience what the suggestion "feels" like to the child. This soon becomes the favorite part of every parenting class where all the Positive Discipline tools come together for practical application for "real" challenges.
The disadvantage is that video training cannot provide the same energy as participating in a live workshop.
The advantages are:
- Videos you can watch over and over. (If you give the videos your full attention, and practice with friends, you can come close to "being there.")
- Can do on your own time schedule (especially beneficial for people with small children or a busy schedule)
- Save travel expenses (airfare, hotel, food) if you can't find training near you.
- Money back guarantee if not satisfied.

Willie K. and Virginia Vanderbilt's Mansion at 666 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan
In 1905 William K. Vanderbilt Jr. and his wife Virginia (Birdie) decided to build a Manhattan mansion on property given to them by Willie K.'s parents. Here is the story behind Willie K. and Birdie's 660 Fifth Avenue mansion.
Howard Kroplick
In 1879, Alva and William K. Vanderbilt commissioned architect Richard Morris Hunt to design this spectacular white limestone mansion at 660 Fifth Avenue at the corner of 52nd Street. The massive French Renaissance palace was called the "Petite Chateau" and was completed in 1883.
The mansion sat in the middle of what became known as "Vanderbilt Row." In 1904, the Vanderbilts purchased the brownstone adjacent to their mansion.
The bownstone was taken down and the property was given to William K. Vanderbilt Jr. and his wife Virginia for their future Manhattan home. This Giovanni Boldini portrait of Virginia Fair Vanderbilt was completed in 1905.
Willie K. hired McKim, Mead & White to build a six-story, 50-foot limestone mansion in the style conforming to the Hunt design of his parent's mansion.
First floor
Second floor
Third floor
The mansion was completed in 1907.
Stanford White was an admirer of Richard Morris Hunt and emulated his designs in the grillwork of the door and carved frames of the windows.
When the mansion was completed, the two mansions gave the illusion of being one building. When Willie K. and Virginia separated in 1909, Willie K. moved to his Deepdale Estate leaving Birdie the Manhattan mansion.
In 1925 the beautiful Vanderbilt mansion at 660 Fifth Avenue was replaced by a 20-story commerical building. The Vanderbilt mansion at 666 Fifth can be seen here standing alone. When Willie K. and Virginia Vanderbilt finally divorced in 1927, she sold the 660 Fifth Avenue mansion.
In 1957 Tishman Realty and Construction built a 41-story commerical tower on the location of the two Vanderbilt mansions. The building with its distinctive aluminum panels was called the Tishman Building with the prominent 666 address on its top floor.
In December 2006, Tishman Speyer, along with the German investment firm TMW, announced the sale of the building to the Kushner Properties for $1.8 billion, the highest price ever paid for an individual building in Manhattan. This was an unconventional price for such a short building; at 483 feet, 666 Fifth is not even among top 100 tallest buildings in New York City, but its price was mainly because of its location on Fifth Avenue across from Rockefeller Center.

Pig and Khao
Time Out says
The Southeast Asian honky-tonk is fast becoming a food-world cliché. Pig and Khao might have seemed audacious once, but it comes across as mostly derivative today. Run by former Top Chef contender Leah Cohen, the joint has a familiar setup, with plenty of canned beer, hot chilies and hip-hop. The pig-centric menu features dishes like classic "sizzling sisig," a chopped-pig's-head-and-fried-egg breakfast, featuring fatty bits fragrant with kafir lime, ginger and chilies, beautifully caramelized, as they should be, in a cast-iron pan. Other highlights include pork jowl with brussels sprouts, Thai curry chicken wings, and sweet-spicy curried lamb ribs. An enclosed backyard is open year-round so you and your crew can sprawl out and dig in family-style.

Liposuction in Hampton Roads
Liposuction is America's most popular cosmetic procedure, with over 258,000 procedures performed in 2018. The typical liposuction patient is one who has been diligently exercising and dieting, but still has stubborn areas of fat, often referred to as 'saddlebags' or 'love handles.'
Commonly problematic areas such as the stomach, hips, waist, thighs, buttocks, arms, legs, and neck can be helped by liposuction. In Hampton Roads, our facility is proud to provide this procedure to the local community.
Who is a Candidate for Liposuction?
You may be a candidate for liposuction if:
- You have excess subcutaneous fat that is resistant to diet and exercise
- You wish to change the contours of your body
- You'd like to reduce fat under the chin, on the arms, abdomen, hips, thighs, or legs
- You are generally healthy, near normal weight, and desire contour changes
Improved techniques now allow larger amounts of fat removal. Liposculpture can be useful to heavier persons as well.
Liposuction is intended to produce improvement in the contour and proportion of the treated areas. A more flattering figure or physique, in or out of clothing, is another goal of liposuction. In Hampton Roads, VA; Williamsburg, VA; Newport News, VA, and beyond, patients sing the praises of our highly effective surgical methodology, exquisite results, and compassionate post-procedure care.
Check Out our top-notch Facility
We've thought of everything to help you (and your +1) love the whole surgical experience. Learn More
About Liposuction Surgery
Liposuction is done on an outpatient basis. General anesthesia is usually used for safety and comfort. Liposuction is performed using the tumescent technique, in which the areas to be treated are infused with a tumescent solution (anesthetic and saline mixture) that defines the area and allows the surgeon to be more precise in body sculpting. Use of the tumescent solution is also helpful in minimizing swelling and bleeding. The procedure is performed through tiny incisions, in which a thin suction device (cannula) is inserted to suction out the fat deposits.
The patient goes home with a compression garment covering the treated areas. Compression is advised for about a month to reduce swelling and help achieve a smooth result. Once pain and soreness decrease, it is frequently more comfortable to wear lycra or spandex exercise pants. Initial discomfort is easily controlled with oral medications, and most patients find that they quickly resume normal activities. Bruising and swelling usually subside in 2 to 4 weeks. The final result takes shape over 2 to 3 months after your liposuction in Hampton Roads' premier plastic surgery facility.
Payment for Plastic Surgery
Liposuction is considered cosmetic and therefore is not covered by insurance. The patient is responsible for payment. Our patient counselors can help you with your financial arrangements, including financing.

My current husband who by the way is NOT an abusive man who would never raise his voice or hand in anger KNOWS what bullshit this whole story is.
Bischof Law Unfair to Innocent Fathers
By: Jeffery M. Leving
Chicago, IL – The "Cindy Bischof Law" has the potential for victimizing innocent Illinois fathers and may spread nationwide. Governor Rod Blagojevich signed this legislation which becomes effective as law on January 1, 2009.
The Bischof Law is a draconian measure that will allow judges to order anyone, mostly men and fathers, to wear a GPS tracking device if they are simply considered to be at a high risk for domestic violence without being found guilty of any crime.
There is a presumption of guilt without the benefit of a trial, yet the foundation of our criminal justice system is that a defendant is presumed innocent until proven guilty.
Perhaps such a drastic measure would be warranted if the men forced to wear the devices had fair trials and were found to be guilty of violent or dangerous crimes.
However, the Bischof Law empowers judges with the ability to mandate the GPS tracking device on anyone who is accused of violating an order of protection without being convicted of the violation – and orders of protection are widely granted with minimal evidence of the potential for violence.
In the 1970s, orders of protection (also commonly referred to as "restraining orders") became a tool to help protect battered women. However, in the rush to protect the abused, the rights of the accused have been violated on a large scale.
According to the Justice Department, two million restraining orders are issued in the United States .
The vast majority of these are related to domestic violence allegations, yet research shows these orders often do not even involve an accusation of actual violence. All that is needed to obtain an order is a claim that the person to be restrained "acted in a way that scared me" or was "verbally abusive" – what's known as "shout at your spouse, lose your house."
Such orders have become so commonplace that the Illinois Bar Journal calls them "part of the gamesmanship of divorce."
Electronic tagging devices can be appropriate as a condition of parole or probation. The Cindy Bischof Law goes far beyond this, placing long-term electronic tags on men who have never been found guilty of any crime.
Jeffery M. Leving is a fucked up attorney and fathers' rights advocate.

Vote For Freddy
Gotta wonder if Freddy Garcia, who has made 6 starts in the Yankees' last 51 games, is now the favorite to start Gm 3 of Division Series.
It's a fair question. Burnett sucks. Hughes is unreliable and hurt. Colon's last outing was very concerning. What other choice do the Yankees have but to consider using Sabathia, Nova and Garcia in the ALDS – even if the latter is a contact pitcher who needs to be on to have a chance in the game?

Just Friends
By Sumrit Shahi
Picking this up wasn't a bad deal at all. Sumrit has shown good potential with his debut novel JUST FRIENDS – a story that revolves around the friendship between a girl and a boy. The age old question of whether a girl and a guy can be friends seems to be answered almost perfectly by this teenager.
The story is about the two youngsters Aaryan and Tanie and their growing up years in school and hostel. Very relatable instances of the regular bunking, group studying, hostel tantrums, indulging in sports, examination fevers, friendships, crushes and first love add flavor and fragrance to his writing. School life is an important part of a person's life. Those are the days of carelessness and alertness all the same. It somewhat leads you to your path ahead in life. For some, those are the most wonderful days of growing up…while for some a difficult road with hardships and bruises. Filled with humorous incidents and decently intellectual conversations, the book overall is a breezy and a refreshing read.
What prompted me more to pick up the book was its blurb/synopsis on the back page. "He knows everything about her, right from her favourite books to her favorite bra. She knows everything about him, right from his favourite soccer club to his favourite x rated websites. He will complete her English homework, even at three in the night. She will arrange an Armani suit for him, even if it calls for flirting with ugly guys. He has her picture in his wallet. She has his number on speedial. They talk to each other all the time. They talk about each other when they don't talk to each other. They discuss everything from periods to playstation. They have tasted alcohol and then thrown up…together. They have bunked countless tuitions… together. They cant live without each other. YET They don't love each other. They are JUST FRIENDS."
Also, for me, most importantly, the correct usage of the language made it an enjoyable experience. I'm happy Sumrit did not disappoint me. There is humor, wit, emotions, and an element of connectivity.
Good work. Worth reading.

Key Highlights:
- Continuing from last week's price decline, Ethereum once again fell below the $700 mark
- A major support level was established at $685, while there's a major resistance at $705
- ETH is currently on a minor bullish run, which could take the coin back above $700 later today
ETH/USD Falls Further, Testing $700 Once Again
After failing to maintain above $800 and falling back down below $700 for the third time in a week, Ethereum is now testing the pivotal $700 price level once again.
A major support is held at $685 for ETH, while a resistance level of $705 has been tested. Its 20-day moving average dictates that further upward movement in the short term is possible.
Source: Tradingview
As for the technicals, the MACD indicator shows that ETH is in a bearish zone, but the bearish signal is not strong. This could also be explained by the lack of trading volume for Ethereum.
Looking at the Technical Indicators:
- Hourly MACD — ETH is in a bearish zone
- Major Support Level — $685
- Major Resistance Level — $705

Discover the results of the Institute of Sport Sciences of the University of Lausanne (ISSUL) analyzing Ultra-Trail Runner's Performance, during theTor des Géants, an ultra-trail race (of 332.5km with 24'000m change in elevation) in Valle d'Aosta (IT). This study aimed to characterize the activity of ultra-trail runners by combining data from their personal experiences with physical measurement indicators of their running performance.
During this highly challenging race, Physilog® sensors on the athlete's ankles were continuously recording the elevation velocity and the steps per minute. Additionally, at each life base, self-assesment were filled by the participant and field notes related to the runners' states were recorded by the researchers during the time runners spent at each life base.
They concluded: "The original way in which first- and third-person data were aggregated in this study have enriched our understanding of the components of activity state awareness during an ultra-trail race."

Pilots still on strike, over 95 Air India flights cancelledApril 29th, 2011 - 3:17 pm ICT by ANI
New Delhi, Apr 29 (ANI): With the Air India pilots' strike entering its third day on Friday; over ninety-five flights have been cancelled while several others were delayed.
Only 12 out of 56 flights will operate out of Mumbai today and 15 out of 66 flights will operate out of Delhi.
The management of the airline said on Thursday it will not surrender to the pilots' pressure and added that no domestic flight bookings will be accepted till May 3.
Meanwhile, taking a tough stand against the striking pilots, Civil Aviation Minister Vyalar Ravi has said they cannot dictate terms to the government and ruled out any negotiations on their pay parity demand.
Ravi asserted that the government has asked Air India to take firm action against the pilots' as their decision to go on strike is irresponsible.
The government would support every action taken by the Air India management to control the situation, he added.
Earlier, the Air India management had sacked seven pilots belonging to the Commercial Pilots Association.
Among those whose services have been terminated are ICPA President Captain Ashim Bhinder and General Secretary Captain Rishabh Kapoor.
The management also derecognised the ICPA and sealed its offices in Delhi and Mumbai.
The ICPA has about 700 members who use to work for Indian Airlines till it was merged with Air India in 2007.
The ICPA claims that while Air India pilots enjoy a huge fixed salary component, the same is almost minuscule for former IA pilots in 2007.
The association claims that while their entire pay package depends on the hours they fly every day, the airline has been curtailing the number of flights by 30 to 40 percent. (ANI)

Use virtual patching to ease short-staffed patch management procedures
Virtual patching can serve as a quick way to deal with patch management procedures when short staffed. But how effective is virtual patching? Michael Cobb explains the pros and cons of virtual patching in this technical tip.
Although most large software vendors have worked hard to improve the release and distribution of their patches, patching still creates a lot of work for IT administrators.
Many organizations struggle to patch their systems at the rate that new vulnerabilities are discovered, and it can be a stressful time waiting for a maintenance window to install a critical security patch. On top of that, if IT staff and time are in short supply, it becomes nearly impossible to review, test and install official patch updates without leaving systems at risk in the intervening period.
The solution to this patch management dilemma may lie in what's known as virtual patching. The aim of virtual patching is to alter or eliminate the vulnerability by controlling either the inputs into or outputs from the affected application. Virtual patches can be applied using various methods, which we'll cover in a moment.
Unlike traditional patch management procedures, virtual patching allows an application to be patched without touching it or its associated libraries and the operating system it's running on. Additionally, virtual patching is sometimes the only way to support older versions of an application that are no longer supported by the vendor.
One virtual patching approach is to change the application's runtime code. This is really useful in those cases when you don't know anything about how the actual attack works, usually because vendors are reluctant to discuss the specifics of the attack. In this case, if the attack involves extracting credit card details, you can create an output patch that drops any connection transmitting card data to an unknown IP address. This type of virtual patch both prevents the attack from succeeding, while simultaneously implementing rules that define trusted behavior, thereby adding an extra layer of security to your application.
However, altering an application's code can introduce new risks like programming errors that lead to more security flaws or application instability; it requires very skilled coders to mitigate those risks successfully. A more common technique is to place some type of proxy in front of the application to control its inputs and outputs to prevent or eliminate the vulnerable actions. This can be as straightforward as matching inputs against a new firewall or proxy rule to detect attempted exploits and terminating the suspicious session.
For IT departments short on manpower, the easiest virtual patching method is to use intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and vulnerability management products to prevent known issues from being exploited. Synching your IPS with your vulnerability management system can update the configuration of IPS filters by mapping them to the vulnerability database and implementing appropriate changes to protect identified vulnerabilities.
Vendors Critical Watch and TippingPoint have created an integrated vulnerability management and IPS integration package that does just that. Blocking potentially malicious network traffic from reaching vulnerable applications provides a network-based or virtual patch which doesn't require downtime or extensive application testing. The integration package is a great time-saver, but if such a product is beyond your budget, you can of course manually sync your existing IPS and vulnerability management systems, as discussed above.
But how can it be determined if a virtual patch is working? Ideally it requires getting a hold of the exploit code to test how the virtual patch handles a simulated attack. If this isn't possible, you will need to understand in some detail how the attack works. This will require researching vendor and AV reports for insight into the workings of the attack. A filter or proxy should trigger an alert if it detects a potential attack, such as a probe for the existence of a vulnerable application. Test that your application still works when the virtual patch is in place, and document the changes you've made, along with what the patch fixes or does not fix.
Virtual patching is not a "set it and forget it" solution. Any sort of change to the topology of the network, or even minor configuration changes, can render a virtual patch ineffective, exposing an application all over again. It's important to follow up with a plan to fix the root problem, including deploying the vendor's patch whenever possible and practical. Ideally, virtual patching gives short-staffed IT teams more time to follow through with proper patch management procedures, including assessment and deployment.
There is no doubt that virtual patching is an extremely valuable technique that can be used to reduce the risk created by intervals between vendor patches or for companies lacking the manpower required to test and roll out patches on a regular basis. In no way should virtual patching replace standard patch management procedures, but if you keep up to date with vendor and public vulnerability disclosures, it can provide a quick fix and close the window of opportunity for attackers looking to exploit systems waiting on an official patch.

Mango Coconut Sherbet
Can you tell it's hot in Florida? The last two things I have shared with you are ice cream related. Me and my lady bits just can not take this heat anymore. I feel like I need to go to that weird ice machine with the creeper penguins on it, you know the one where you can buy ice by the bucket-full, and fill up my tub…and sit in it. Yesterday I walked outside and some kids were frying eggs on the concrete. And the egg was actually sizzling! That is proof that I am incapable of turning on my oven or stove…or even walking the dog. I am currently trying to convince him to use the litter box with the cats. So until this heat wears off, or I go into cupcake withdrawal
which is wayyy more likely to happen, I am not turning on my oven.
This Mango-Coconut Sherbet is awesome for many reasons. First of all, no heat required. Second, you dump everything in your food processor, transfer it to ice cream maker, and viola. Sherbet. Oh and third, it's vegan, gluten free, and ass friendly. What the hell more could you want? Besides a million dollars or to be able to rock a string bikini like your 17 again…but I digress, this sherbet is amazing and easy. The mango flavor is strong and gives the sherbet a beautiful color. The coconut flavor is not very pronounced but gives it a wonderful creaminess. In short, next time Mangos are on sale, grab 3 of them and get to blending.
Mango-Coconut Sherbet
Recipe Note: The riper the Mango, the better the sherbet. If your mango is not very ripe, make sure and increase the sugar to 3/4 cup.
2 cups cubed peeled ripe mango, about 3 medium mangos
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
Zest of 1 lime
1 (13.5-ounce) can light coconut milk
1/4 cup unsweetened flaked coconut, toasted
Combine cubed mango, sugar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, lime zest and coconut milk in food processor. Process until mixture is smooth, scraping sides as necessary.
Pour mixture into the freezer can of an ice-cream freezer, and freeze according to manufacturer's instructions to soft-serve consistency.
Spoon sherbet into a freezer-safe container; cover and freeze 2 hours or until firm. Sprinkle each serving with coconut.

Denim is back.
Remember the 90's when we wore denim overalls,dresses,skirts even accessories?
Well, now you can rock oversized denim shirts on top of your capri dresses, or even with darker denim pants.
Jeans are the most popular form of causal wear but with the right combination it can be dressy too.
Men can add a nice blazer and dressy shoes to their everyday denim to take them from day to night while women just have to add a sexy pair of heels and they are good to go.
So when does Denim become OTT?
well thats when you wear light blue denim jeans/skirt with matching jacket. thats a no no so as much as we love them our denim pieces it don't mean we have to wear them all out at once.
Less is always more!
How cute are those Blue and White Denim shoes.
I spotted a few nice denim shirts at Glassons,Sussan and Traget(Men's).
Light blue denim always looks great layered with a white T-shirt or a white dress and beige accessories.
My favorite artist in the whole wide world Kanye West bringing Denim back with a splash of green.
Well truth be I still haven't bought one yet i am thinking to check out Savers Footscray first to see if i spot a bargain.
Until then stay stylish.
Lots of love

The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley
A NoveleBook - 2017
From the critics

CommentAdd a Comment
Father/daughter tale of a life on the run.
Interesting coming of age story that I enjoyed. Whenever I stopped reading I always looked forward to picking back up where I left off. The story goes back in time and then to the present in alternating chapters. This method was perfect for the setting in this book. I cared about the characters, even cheered for the criminal to have a good outcome. This is a first-time author read for me. I will definitely read something else by Hannah Tinti.
Book Group Read - Not something I would normally pick up, but it does go at a good clip and the characters are interesting.
I'm clearly out of step with many readers on this one. The father-daughter angle drew me in. But then I discovered it's mostly about the great American dream (not that old chestnut about middle-class prosperity etc.; no, it's the dream of owning more guns than anyone else. Why bring one gun to a fight when you can have a whole bag full, with various configurations and firepower?)
This fellow learned an important life lesson at sixteen: When you break into someone's house, there's a fair chance he might shoot you. Next time, bring your own gun -- it's the one simple solution to all of life's little problems. He's a hero because he has twelve bullet wounds and is still alive.
So what's the point? The story line "outcast, bullied daughter fights back" had potential but it never went anywhere. How about "Lonely, disillusioned gunfighter seeks redemption"? But for that to work, I would have to care about this dude. But I don't.
Sorry, this one was not for me.
"The Twelve Lives of Samuel Hawley" by Hannah Tinti, could have provided an interesting perspective into the criminal man, turned into a bitter memoir of the titular character. The pacing of the novel was excruciating; it would have been easier to skip most of the book and still partly enjoyed enjoy the climax. Thankfully the the climax of the novel and the true flaws in the characters make the book somewhat interesting. Otherwise, the plot was lackluster, the descriptions hard to endure and the repetitiveness of the mistakes made by the characters seemed to dull out any redeeming qualities the characters had. The worst part of the novel was the ending; it's lack of answers made it seem pointless to read the whole story.
As for the narration, Elizabeth Wiley's voice provided to be ill-suited for the role. Women were given a nasaly quality when they spoke and children appeared more whiny than youthful. She did do a good job representing shortness of breath and urgency in the dialogue but otherwise was a poor choice for this novel. The Twelve Lives of Samuel Halwey's only redeeming quality is that it makes a good character study book, otherwise it is a disappointing read.
"Everything breaks if you hit it hard enough."
This third book from Hannah Tinti is intense and raw, like a wound that won't quite heal and you just keep poking at it. Ewww. Hawley, a drifter with a dark, criminal past, and his daughter Loo arrive in a small New England fishing village and try to make a fresh start. But if you've ever read a book before, you know that's not going to happen. The narrative alternates between the present and Hawley's story. Each of his 12 bullet scars (hence the title) gets a chapter. I found Loo far more compelling and thought 12 bullets was maybe 3 or 4 too many. Tinti pitches camp in the gritty, dirty realism school of Carver, Russo, and Dubus, but adds more of a James Lee Burke-like thriller element. A striking read, at the very least.

I didn't like this book-thought that the father was totally irresponsible, child endangerment: one thing to live your life on the edge, don't bring a child into it
While waiting for any of my holds to arrive, I checked out this title in the meantime. A quirky plot, yet held my attention right from the beginning. Recommended.
Is he a sociopath or a loving father? Can a person be both?
This is a compelling, literary novel that deserves all the accolades it has received!

Campaign details
Brand: The Diamond Concierge
Brand owner: The Diamond Concierge
Lead agency: McCann Queensland
Contributing agencies: The Red Republic
Country: Australia
Industries: Online retail
Media channels: Cinema, Events & experiential, Games & competitions, Online video, Public relations, Radio & audio, Social media
Budget: Up to 500k
Executive Summary
Australian blokes aren't known for being romantic and they would certainly never buy a diamond online. That was a massive problem for The Diamond Concierge, a tiny, Gold Coast-based online diamond retailer.
The brand had to wake Aussie blokes up to the fact that buying diamonds online was now 'a thing' and that The Diamond Concierge was the irreputable friend for this important purchase.
The big idea was: show Australian blokes that diamonds aren't just forever. They're for everyone. And with this in mind, The Surprisal was born.
