My name is Scott Ginsberg.
I'm weird.
Always have been. Always will be.
In fact, whenever someone tells me, "Dude, you're weird!" I respond with, "Hey, thanks!"
See, I don't think there's anything wrong with being weird.
Actually, I think there are a lot of things RIGHT with being weird.
I'll explain why in a minute.
But first, a brief etymology lesson:
The word "weird" can be traced back to the Old English term "wyrd," which means "fate, destiny."
However, the modern sense of the word derived from two sources:
1. The use of Weird Sisters for The Three Fates or "Norns" (in mythology), representing the goddesses who controlled human destiny.
2. People who were odd or frightening in appearance, first referenced in Macbeth, led to the adjective meaning of, "odd-looking, uncanny," first recorded 1815.
So, 200 years later, what does it mean to be weird?
And when someone says, "That guy is SO weird!" or "She's weird!" what message is that person really communicating?
Well, in my experience, criticism often says more about the critic than it does about the subject.
So, is it possible that when someone perceives a person as weird, is it simply because they don't understand him?
Personally, I think weird is a scapegoat term. An excuse. A placeholder for ignorance. When people don't understand someone, they just dismiss that person as "weird," and that's usually enough to validate their argument.
Think back to college. Or high school. Or even grade school.
Now, picture The Weird Kid.
Maybe it was the dude who wore all black.
Maybe it was the girl who was always reading Ayn Rand during recess.
Maybe it was the guy who wore crazy clothes and walked to school every day.
You called him weird because you didn't understand him.
And you left it at that.
(Hey, I did it too. It's human nature.)
But what if you added another step?
What if, instead of being judgmental, you were curious?
Here. Try this experiment:
1. Decide to find out the story is behind someone's supposed "weirdness."
2. Approach the person with a curious, (not judgmental) attitude.
3. Tell the person you find them interesting, or fascinating, and would like to learn more.
And most likely, they'll take it as a compliment, and be happy to share with you.
Or they'll wind up being a serial killer, take out their ice pick and stab you in the throat.
Just kidding.
(But you were thinking that, weren't you?)
Look. Not all weird people are bad. And sure, there have been some major wack-jobs out there who gave being weird a bad rap.
But I think (the non-criminal) weird people are important to society, important to business, for several reasons:
Weird people challenge you.
Weird people make you think.
Weird people are often creative.
Weird people break your patterns.
Weird people encourage individuality.
Weird people are interesting and cool.
Weird people aren't afraid to be themselves.
Weird people tend to have valuable perspectives.
But because we don't "get them," we dismiss them.
And I think every time that happens, we're missing out.
"Nurture the nuts," Tom Peters once said. "We all know that 'weird' can be good, if we don't judge others through our lens. Being weird increases creativity if we allow it to flourish."
Well put.
Also, I found this anonymous quotation, often quoted around the web: "We are all a little weird and life's a little weird, and when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall in mutual weirdness and call it love."
So from now on, I encourage you to embrace weirdness.
That of other people. That of yourself.
Weirdness rules!
My name is Scott.
And I am weird.
Always have been. Always will be.
Do you embrace weirdness?
What's the advantage of your weirdness?

The illunis tool set is state of the art. Our engineering team develops with Solidworks™ for mechanical design, Protel™ for electrical design and layout, and Aldec/Xilinx™ for FPGA development in VHDL.
illunis has developed a substantial intellectual property portfolio in camera technology. Let our team apply our experience and knowledge to your custom OEM application!
illunis camera designs are modular and generally consist of three circuit assemblies:
- Power Supply and Data Interface
- Timing Generator
- CCD Interface
Typically, two of the three circuit boards remain unchanged from design to design with only firmware changes required for new features or possibly a new sensor board. As a result, adapting to a new sensor or custom features requires very little development. illunis designs its own timing generator in VHDL and can add modes and features to meet your exact requirements.
Please contact us to discuss your application needs.

For the last quarter century Almodóvar has continued his program of genre splicing every few years (see lauded films Talk to Her and All About My Mother ), addressing everything from the grotesque to the silly of his native Spain. I mention the genre mashing because it makes explaining his films a sticky task, and his new Penélope Cruz-fronted release Volver ( Coming Back ) is no exception.
Ostensibly, it is a story about the relationships of a family of women; but there is also a ghost story, a murder mystery, a light comedy and a look at Spanish society's attitude towards death. It may seem bizarre or inane when considered apart from the film, but after seeing it, the interweaving of disparate elements is natural enough to have each part seem essential to the whole. Almodóvar points out that he is just trying to mimic aspects of reality in the neo-realist tradition (Felini et al) saying, "During the day, you pass by different genres a lot."
Still, it would be too easy to think that Volver resulted from some magic, inter-genre, sense perception related to everyday experience. As un-magical as it might seem, a good deal of the film's flow is a product of rehearsals, an old theater standby, which were vital to Almodóvar.
"To maintain this balance [you need] to see what happens, and to see how it sounds," he says. By putting in the time to examine each shift in tone as it was performed, Almodóvar could chip away the bits of his script that veered too far in one direction or another.
Of course, it also helped that Cruz is a good friend of Almodóvar's, or as he puts it, "It's an advantage that she has complete confidence in me. That gives me a lot of responsibility because anything I ask her to do, she will do it."
Cruz and Almodóvar worked closely together on developing her role as the protagonist Raimunda, modeling the character scrupulously on actresses like Sophia Loren and the women that Almodóvar remembered from his childhood in the south of Spain. Cruz was given advice about what movies to look to for inspiration.
She remarks, "He [Almodóvar] wanted me to watch movies from Italian neorealism – and all of those women were playing strong mothers." Almodóvar even had Cruz wear a butt pad to match his vision for the character because, according to the director, "In the iconography of the mothers I had, these women are [all] more curvy," in clear contrast to the waif-waisted Cruz.
In order to deal with all the changes in the story's direction, Cruz had to maintain a strict focus. "The secret for [acting in this film] was for us to forget about all the changes of tone and take care of the actions one thing at a time," she says.
All of the attention to detail seems to be paying off, and there has been quite a lot of chatter about Cruz perhaps garnering an Oscar nomination for her work in the film. Naturally, Cruz is excited by the prospect, but attempting not to fixate on it saying, "[I was] trying not to think about anything like that, but when people are telling you 20 times a day, it's very hard not to think about it."
But Oscar buzz aside, Volver is a tale that deals in weighty issues with a delicate touch. The big and prestigious names attached to it are not nearly as impressive as the film itself, with its combination of never-think-to-put-together elements.
Almodóvar luckily can whittle down the theme of the film like it were some pesky extra line of dialogue explaining, "The message of the film is to talk about these women and this very natural relationship with death."
Volver releases in theaters Nov. 3.

I am extremely disappointed by President Obama's lack of engagement in Ukraine. It pains me that Russian President Vladimir Putin seems to be playing him for a toothless paper tiger ("Obama plans to talk to Russia's Putin about Ukraine deal Friday –official," Feb. 21).
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Ukraine had the world's third largest nuclear arsenal, larger than the those of the UK, France and China combined. The Unites States, Russia and the UK guaranteed Ukraine's sovereignty and territorial integrity in exchange for surrendering its nuclear arsenal. They also agreed to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate Ukraine to their own interests (Budapest Protocols).
Clearly, Russia is not abiding by its commitments. But as Bismarck, the first chancellor of Germany said, any agreement signed with the Russians is not worth the paper it's written on. How about the United States? The U.S. made a commitment to Ukraine's sovereignty but is now standing on the sidelines while the Kremlin is trying to take de facto control of Ukraine. The U.S. must act to prevent that from happening.
Ukraine is not a democracy. It is a corrupt, criminal dictatorship. Furthermore, everyone knows that the Ukrainian government is controlled by the Kremlin. Mr. Putin has made it clear he wants to re-create the old Soviet Union, and Ukraine is a cornerstone of that project.
People have been standing in the cold, rain and snow since November in an attempt to secure a better future for themselves and for future generations of Ukrainians. The Ukrainian secret police have been employing Stalinist tactics such as making black lists of people who miss work and students who miss school. Intimidation and fear have no place in 21st-century Europe.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych is a butcher guilty of crimes against humanity, and Mr. Putin is his paramour. How can we stand by and watch this pogrom unfold when we wage war on other countries for far less?
It is time for Mr. Obama to lead the free world against this brutal, cruel regime and help the Ukrainian people realize their dream of a fruitful and transparent democracy. By not acting he is sanctioning Mr. Putin's dream of restoring the old Soviet Union and in the process setting a terrible precedent for how a world leader should respond in a crisis.

Remember the BlackBerry Kopi? This diminutive BlackBerry smartphone first popped up on our radar in September 2013 when it posed for a couple of photographs that eventually made their way online. Fast-forward a few months and a rumor surfaced that claimed that the QWERTY-clad Kopi had been cancelled so that BlackBerry could lessen an "identified inventory risk." Now here we are today, staring at a couple of new photos of the Kopi that show that it's not six feet underground quite yet.
The BlackBerry Kopi shown in these latest images looks just like the one that we saw last year. The device is sporting a BlackBerry Q5-like design with a rectangular shape, rounded corners and a square display. Of course, it's got a physical QWERTY keyboard on its face as well. Around back is a textured battery cover as well as a camera with an LED flash.
The exact spec details of the BlackBerry Kopi were never revealed, but it's expected that the handset was an entry-level model that would not have included 4G LTE connectivity. The Kopi sounds like it'd be a good fit for BlackBerry's effort to hold the attention of customers in developing markets, but it's possible that this particular unit just wasn't low-cost enough, and as a result it may have ended up getting scrapped. We'll just have to wait and see if this thing ever makes it to market or if it truly did get canned, but the good news is that if it really is cancelled, at least we're getting one more peek at it.

Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap! Crap!
Okay laugh at my pain and don't make my stupid mistake.
You know how when you remove a movie disc from a case you depress the center? Seems a normal way to remove a disc from the case. Press the center and remove the disc in one action. I forgot something in the older PS2 Sony memory card holder cases.
The center has to be depressed and released BEFORE removing the disc. The center holder has to pop the disc out all the way off. If the disc doesn't pop off, the center has large tabs that will really grab the disc when removing.
In my stupidity I removed the disc like a DVD movie, pressing down the center and pulling the disc at the same time. DVD case and my big paws tug-of-war won and the disc lost. Really didn't take much for that heartbreaking loud crack.
A search found three Gamestops where I can re-purchase the game. I don't have to drive around to get a CIB. The manual, and cover are pristine. The disc is not quite new condition anymore. Maybe need a new case too, I did vent and cut the center tab off in little tiny pieces.
Man this design is worse then the ECO cases. Okay has anyone else done something this foolish?

What You Need to Know About New Healthcare Devices and Network Security
97 percent of healthcare providers have a high level of concern about cybersecurity and resilience.
The healthcare industry continues to be at the forefront of innovation, adopting new ways to improve patient care and deliver better treatment plans. Technology makes this even easier. Now, healthcare providers can monitor patients in real time, no matter where they are. Healthcare providers rely on these devices to monitor and adjust dosages for their patients, even when they aren't near a hospital or medical facility. These groundbreaking devices are truly changing the way patient care is delivered. However, if these devices lack proper security, the consequences could be devastating—and not just for healthcare organizations. You need to know how healthcare devices and network security can affect your business.
What are these devices?
These medical innovations range from insulin pumps to defibrillators, cardiac monitoring devices to pacemakers, and more. Some of these devices, like pacemakers, are embedded within patients. The monitor and transfer secure information back to the healthcare organization. More and more people each year are receiving treatments through these wearable devices. In fact, worldwide shipments for healthcare wearables will increase from 2.5 million in 2016 to 97.6 million units annually by 2021. These new healthcare devices revolutionize the way patients receive treatment. But historically, embedded devices have a low level of security, making the entire network vulnerable to a security breach. If you don't have the proper security measures in place, you could be putting your entire business at risk.
How do they affect your organization's security?
Embedded, connected devices are often mobile, which makes locating these devices on the network more difficult. Without the ability to easily locate these devices, monitoring for a potential attack becomes more challenging. In fact, nearly half of all businesses do not know what devices exist on their network. If a hacker breaks into a connected device, they can wreak havoc on your business. A hacker could access someone's wireless insulin pump, which is scary enough! But beyond that, each device could also act as an entry point into your entire network. Once a hacker gets into your network, they can steal information, carry out a ransomware attack or cause irreparable damage.
And the number of ransomware attacks are on the rise. The number of major ransomware events targeted against healthcare organizations increased 89% from 2016 to 2017. Don't leave your organization open to vulnerabilities, Savant Solutions can help you develop a security plan.
What can you do to protect yourself?
It all starts with awareness. Many employees don't know how to prevent the malware from spreading. It's important to have strong firewalls and keep all devices and systems patched and updated. Hackers always look for the easiest entry point, so the more difficult you make it to enter your network, the more likely the hacker will just move on to the next target.
Savant Solutions can help you understand healthcare devices and network security. Additionally, we can help you secure your network and all network-connected devices. We have experts who can determine your risk and put measures in place to protect your sensitive information. Keep your organization safe, contact Savant Solutions today. We'll help you develop a top to bottom security plan to protect you and your business.

In 2011 WRAP looked at WEEE being disposed of via Household Waste Recycling Centres (HWRCs) and local authority bulky waste collections.
HWRCs represent one of the key places for collection of waste electronics. Research indicated that 23% of the WEEE separately collected at HWRCs could be re-used with a small amount of repair. This volume of product represents a large re-sale value for the re-use sector and highlights the benefits of increased segregation or capture of electrical products for re-use.
Taking this research a step further, WRAP conducted a series of trials. They clearly show the advantages of developing strong partnerships to help realise the true value of re-use, both financially and environmentally.
Case study: Trialling the re-use of used EEE from Leeds City Council (LCC) HWRCs
This trial was about LCC working in close partnership with its WEEE producer compliance scheme, WeeeLink, to establish better systems for managing used EEE. A formal segregation system was established and now applies across nine of LCC's HWRC sites. The trial items targeted included: large domestic appliances and white goods; fridges; Dyson vacuums and display equipment.
Information Sheet: The value of re-using household WEEE
WRAP carried out a detailed study of the potential re-use value of unwanted WEEE disposed of at HWRCs and via local authority bulky waste collections. Re-using WEEE, either directly or after repair is a promising route to reducing waste and extending the life of often perfectly serviceable products.
The research found that there is the potential to generate a large amount of re-sale value from the repair, refurbishment and open market re-sale of WEEE.
Summary Report: Realising the Re-use value of household WEEE
A summary of a study investigating WEEE being disposed of via HWRCs and local authority bulky waste collections, the reasons for disposal, its state of repair, and its potential value.

Myanmar police killed in attack on Bangladesh border
|Rakhine has been effectively split on religious grounds since communal violence tore through the state in 2012 (AFP Photo/Ye Aung Thu)
By AFP
October 9, 2016
At least two policemen were killed in coordinated attacks by an unknown group on posts along Myanmar's border with Bangladesh early Sunday morning, an official and police said.
The assaults hit three border posts around 1:30 am (1800 GMT Saturday) near Maungdaw in Rakhine, an impoverished state on Myanmar's western flank simmering with sectarian tensions between Buddhists and Muslims.
"According to initial information, two police officers were killed, two others were injured and six police are missing," Tin Maung Swe, a senior official within Rakhine's state government told AFP.
A police official in the capital Naypyidaw confirmed three places were attacked but declined to give further details.
A second police source also confirmed the attacks, adding as many as eight policemen might have been killed, as well as some of the attackers.
A number of weapons were also seized by the assailants from the border posts, that officer added.
Rakhine has been effectively split on religious grounds since bouts of communal violence tore through the state in 2012, killing scores and forcing tens of thousands to flee.
The Muslim Rohingya are largely confined to camps and slapped with restrictions that rights groups have likened to apartheid.
Several complex ethnic conflicts are rumbling across Myanmar's borderlands, hampering efforts to build the country's economy after the end of junta rule.
But compared to the country's civil war-ravaged eastern and northern border states, Rakhine does not boast a significant rebel military presence.
In the last few years the Arakan Army, a small Buddhist militia which wants an independent homeland in the state, have fought sporadic battles with the military.
Despite their plight the Rohingya do not have a known militant faction fighting for them.
However many fear their continued plight could drive them to adopt more violent solutions.
In May armed attackers stormed a security post at a camp for Rohingya refugees in southern Bangladesh just across the border from Maungdaw.
In that attack a Bangladeshi camp commander was shot dead and the assailants made off with weapons.
Police at the time said the Rohingya themselves could be suspects.
In recent years Bangladeshi police have also alleged that Rohingya refugees are involved in criminal activities including human trafficking.
Any uptick in violence in Rakhine will be a major concern for the new civilian-led government of Aung San Suu Kyi.
She has asked former UN chief Kofi Annan to head a commission tasked with trying to heal sectarian divisions in the state.
The move was largely welcomed by Rohingya community leaders but drew ire from Buddhist nationalists.
Anti-Muslim sentiment still runs high in the impoverished region, fanned by hardline Buddhist nationalists who revile the Rohingya and are viscerally opposed to any move to grant them citizenship.
They insist the roughly one-million strong group are intruders from neighbouring Bangladesh, even though many can trace their ancestry in Myanmar back generations.

Science and the City: T-1 month
Well. It's all getting very, very real now. In one month, on 11 August, my city-inspired baby will be released into the world… or at least to Europe, Oz and NZ. The US publication date isn't until 25 October, I'm afraid. But regardless of where you are, Science and the City is already available for pre-order – just click one of the many links at the end of this post 🙂
Putting that bit of shameless self-promotion aside, I also wanted to let you guys into my brain for a bit. I've been unbelievably slack in my blogging of late, for which I apologise. Life has been rather busy – aside from the book promo, I've been writing lots, which makes me very happy. But freelancing means constantly chasing work (and payments!!), which makes me considerably less happy, if I'm honest. I thought that I'd reached 'peak juggling' at the end of 2015, but no. 2016 has been absolutely flying by, and in my head, every day has been accompanied by this tune 🙂 Still, I'm in no position to complain – I have achieved one of my childhood dreams …I've written an actual, real-life book! (The other one was to be an astronaut, for the record)
So, let's rewind to Friday 1st July. I'd been out at meetings all day, and returned to see one of the red "missed delivery" cards from Royal Mail. Now, I am a big online shopper, but I knew I hadn't ordered anything. A tiny voice in my head said "Maybe its the book?" and I couldn't quash it. The next morning, I headed down to the post office to collect the mystery parcel. When a saw a box with a Bloomsbury label, my heart stopped.
When I eventually opened the box, I didn't react AT ALL in the way I'd expected. In my head, the moment would be accompanied by much leaping around. In reality, I went all quiet (unusual for me!!) and tearful. I think it was all just a bit overwhelming, and I guess it made me realise that, at times, the book-writing process was really rather lonely. It's not that I wasn't supported – I absolutely was, and couldn't have done it without my friends and family – but I think in that moment, the scale of what I'd done just hit me. I'd survived a war of attrition, and for the first time, I felt a twinge of pride 🙂
Generally, I'm not very good at celebrating personal success – I'm always thinking about the next thing – but (at the risk of sounding like a hippy) I'm going to try my hardest over the next few weeks to just 'be present'. To make the most of the experiences that are to come… I mean, this could be a once-in-a-lifetime thing! Hopefully not, but I think it's important to remind myself of that.
Anyway, I've kept one copy of the hardback for myself, sent one off to my parents, and another to my undergrad supervisor, who I owe a huge favour to. Two other copies will also make their way to people who have had a major impact on me / my career. Honestly, I wish I could give free copies to everyone, but as yet, I haven't been paid anything for writing this book. While I'll never regret that decision, I think it's time to start recouping my losses! And as uncomfortable as it makes me, that means I need to do everything I can to sell as many copies as I can.
On that front, there's been quite a bit of activity. Those of you who follow me on Twitter will have seen some pics from a feature I wrote for the July issue of British Airways' in-flight magazine, BA Business Life. It's all about how banknotes are made, and includes an interview with the Bank of England's Chief Cashier, Victoria Cleland. You can read an abridged version of the feature here: http://businesslife.ba.com/Ideas/Features/How-to-make-money.html but if you're on a BA flight this month, please turn to page 30 of the magazine to see the full thing 🙂
Two weeks ago, I also spent the day doing some filming with the lovely team at Crossrail. We walked through the tunnels, stopping to film things along the way. I have basically no experience of being in front of a camera, so I was absolutely bricking myself. While it ended up being a less scary experience than I expected, it has made it clear to me that I don't hold ANY secret desire to be on TV! Anyway, Tom and Lewis at Crossrail will edit it into a short video (cut with other filmed content) over the next few weeks. We're still figuring out where the final video will live, but once we have a link, I promise to share it here and on Twitter. Until then, here are a few embarrassing pics for your perusal 🙂
Fingers crossed that you'll see a few other outputs from me in the next month or so – aside from the usual Forbes stuff, I've also written a feature for How It Works, with others pending for the Evening Standard, Londonist, and London Reconnections. I've also got lots of talks lined up – Wilderness Festival, Institute of Physics, How to Academy, University of Liverpool, Science Gallery Dublin, to name a few! And I'll be doing some interviews too – I'll bore you with links to those too, as they emerge!
I've also been truly honoured to receive endorsements from some amazing people. The first one is an excerpt from my first critics review, from Booklist, the journal of the American Library Association (which is read all over the world). The following two images show those that appear on the book's back cover – huge thanks to Prof Mark Miodownik, Prof Dame Athene Donald, Prof Dame Jocelyn Bell Burnell and the wonderful John O' Farrell, who has been behind me through this whole process!
The official launch party is scheduled for Friday August 12th, and I'm delighted that so many of the people I love and respect can join me for a few well-earned drinks. And while I'd love for it to be an open invitation, space is very limited – sorry. Dress-making progress is dangerously slow, so I now have a slightly more sensible / achievable Plan B. I've been practising my signature too, after one of my friends said that she didn't want my terrible scrawl on her signed copy 🙂
Oh and news that is particularly relevant to you guys is that my new website is ALMOST done. This blog will migrate over to www.lauriewinkless.com, but I'm hoping that it wont impact on subscribers – you should automatically be redirected. My nephew Keith Murphy is the web development genius behind it, and the design features have been put together by talented graphic designer (and my "nephew in law") Rory Martin. I cant wait to share it!
Phew. That went on considerably longer than I'd planned, but I think I've now told you everything. Pre-order links for the hardback and e-book are below 🙂 Thanks, as always, for reading

Years since I had read Teilhard de Chardin, it was time for review.
Such a surprise to find that in this excellent translation of The Phenomenon of Man (Bernard Wall, tr.; Harper & Row, Revised English edition, 1965) that the French style for handling punctuation had been observed:
The addition of a full word space before some punctuation: viz., the semi-colon, the colon, the exclamation point, and the question mark.
I call attention especially to the exclamation point, which in modern typesetting—and especially in the case of sans serifs—is often set so tightly that the exclamation point reads as an errant "el." A fault exacerbated with smaller point sizes, especially when digital type is converted to polymer plate for letterpress printing.
As a matter of fact, this is one of the "finer points" that Geoffrey Dowding outlines in his classic, Finer Points in the Spacing and Arrangement of Type.
Consequently when setting digital type for letterpress/bookwork, I routinely add two hair spaces (totaling 1/12 of an em in CS2) before the exclamation point or the question mark.* Character shape to the left and the right having such a strong influence on the relative placement of the semi-colon and colon, I adjust with unit spacing to the left and to the right.
Once you get used to the idea of punctuation as a thing unto itself, take a good look at the Bauer Bodoni or the Stradivarius exclamation point—or for that matter, the Futura Lite question mark, which looks like an upside-down capital "S" with a period centered under it.
Like good wine, they should be allowed to breathe.
*However, the prevailing style in advertising typography is quite the opposite—both the exclamation point and the question mark very tightly kerned to the adjacent character.

Bathroom wall cabinets are needed in a bathroom because they actually help in keeping the bathroom clean and in order. They give a stylish look and functionality all at the same time. This cabinets will let you store bathroom accessories and other things to avoid clutter.
Wall mounted bathroom cabinets can be made of so many different materials, but most of the commonly seen cabinets are made of glass and wood. Glass types can add its signature touch of elegance to your bathroom. It can be just plain glass, frosted glass, or mirrored. Plain glass would be stylish and modern while mirror adds more functionality.
On the other hand, wood bathroom wall cabinets are preferred over others. Whether it is made of teak, oak, maple or other hardwoods, they can easily blend to their environment and are available in so many shades and varieties. Usually any furniture made of wood gives a signature touch that makes you feel at home wherever it might be placed. This type of cabinet is perfect especially when you prefer to follow a certain color pattern. For instance, since white symbolizes cleanliness, typical bathrooms have white color scheme, therefore white bathroom wall cabinets would fit very well.
If you can't decide on what to have between the two, you might want to consider getting a custom bathroom wall cabinet that combines glass and wood. Wood can be the body of the cabinet and glass in the form of mirror can be the door. Bathroom cabinets that have mirrors are usually installed on a face level. This is so you can see your reflection while washing your face or brushing your teeth. Glass and wood make a great combination. Speaking of the door, bathroom cabinets can have two or three doors. Which to choose between the two depends on the space available in your bathroom. A large bathroom would give a chance to get a three-door cabinet but if it's not that big, you can stick with the two-door.
There is a wide range of choices in the market when it comes to this kind of cabinet. The choices in different sizes, shapes, designs, colors and materials of this cabinet can be overwhelming. The concept of choosing what bathroom cabinet ts best for you is just like choosing any other furniture or even gadgets. Price, manufacturer, quality, material used, design and size needs to be considered carefully. Browsing online before going to the home improvement center can be helpful, just to get an idea of what to look for. Make sure that your cabinet will fit in your bathroom just fine to avoid making the place too crowded. Setting a range of prices and knowing your standards would makes the choice less difficult. It's not always necessary to get the cheapest one available; as long as you're satisfied with your choice and the item can justify its price, you'll be all set with your new bathroom wall cabinet.

New Bento head by Logo
Yo! Whats up lads and gals, I have been roaming a bit around in SL and stumbled upon a nice Bento head. We all know I am a big Lelutka fan and I will always wear my dear Lelutka Andrea head. But today I wanted to share with you another really nice head! Its "Liam" from Logo. It got released at the Ebento event. The event is closed. BUTTTTT you can pick up your copy (30% discount today only) at the Logo mainstore. I had great fun in shaping this masculine head. I also want to express my feelings about skin appliers.
We all know in SL that Catwa is the leading company in Bento heads (at least for us guys). I like Catwa heads too! They are well build and most skinmakers create for Catwa only. I want to express my hopes to any skincreator that reads this message, that you guys start creating stuff for other great heads out there! How are other great headcreators gonna stay alive, If no third party takes care of making content for them? All those other headcreators deserve this, they work hard to bring us nice and great products. I mean look at Lelutka, Ga.eg, Logo, Laq and so on, they create amazing works aswell. Why do we guys all wanna look like siblings, cousins, twins and all buy the same head?
Feel free to leave a comment on this subject below this post!
Dare to be different, and above all be yourself!

Wolfsburg/Tokyo, , 24 October 2007 - Just six weeks after the world premiere of the two-door city specialist – the up! – at the IAA in Frankfurt, Europe's largest car producer is now showing the next member of the "New Small Family" – the space up! concept car – at the Tokyo Motor Show.
Being the largest small Volkswagen, the space up! is a small space wonder; on just 3.68 meters length and 1.63 meters width it offers the space of a significantly larger vehicle. The designers intentionally avoided any superfluous gimmickry here. Like the up!, the space up! is characterized by a fully new harmony between technical layout on the one hand and emotional design on the other.
The clever space concept of the space up! is largely due to its engine layout. The environmentally friendly gasoline, diesel and electric drives of the future up! family are located – as they were at one time on the Beetle and the Bulli – in the rear. An abbreviated comparison: The four-door space up! is exactly 23 centimeters longer and four centimeters taller than the up! shown at the IAA in Frankfurt.
"The world premiere of the up! at the IAA in Frankfurt served as an initial test to see how the concept of our New Small Family would be received in Europe. And the results of this test were more than favorable," says Dr. Ulrich Hackenberg, Head of Technical Development. Walter de Silva, Chief Designer of the Volkswagen Group, underscores this assessment: "In formal design terms, one can see that the space up! is fun and at the same time offers maximum space on the smallest of platforms. Our New Small Family brings a smile back to the road."

Comedian Marga Gomez chews on all the funny flavors of modern romance

COMEDY IS EASY--interviews are hard: "He was so fucked up," says comedian Marga Gomez of the reporter who preceded this one during a spate of telephone interviews she endured while plugging the upcoming Fifth Annual Lesbian and Gay Comedy Night at the Luther Burbank Center, at which Gomez is the headlining act.
"He was like a Don Rickles fan--everything had to, in some way, relate to Don Rickles," Gomez exclaims. "'Contrast and compare yourself to Don Rickles.' He was insane. It was like a barrage. He kept telling me 'Sell yourself, sell yourself.'"
Of course, for comedians, the ability to hustle one's act is second in importance only to actually having a sense of humor. For Gomez--who enjoys the tripartite distinction of being a woman, Latin, and gay--the twin gifts of comedy and the hard sell paid off during the stand-up renaissance of the early '80s, when she first took the mike. Back then, the alternative was starvation.
Now, after dozens of television appearances, a juicy guest role on HBO's Tracy Takes On, a handful of theatrical monologues, a comedy record, and several film roles (she acted with Dustin Hoffman and Sharon Stone in Sphere), Gomez prefers the soft sell. This is, in part, why the attractive comedian recently moved from the entertainment epicenter of Los Angeles to Williamsburg, an arty neighborhood in Brooklyn, N.Y.
"Los Angeles was about being quiet and being more concerned about your appearance than what you were doing. Now I'm on a track to make my work stronger than ever," explains Gomez, now in her late 30s.
"A year ago I was trying to do all the right things to get to that Barbara Walters special where I would cry about what kind of tree I am."
Gomez' new strategy is to concentrate on her work and let her fame come naturally. The plan has proven artistically gratifying.
"I get so much pleasure from working in different ways and from relying on a loyal following as well as a network of artists and presenters throughout the country. I get to really experiment and go a little bit deeper to try to make an impact," says Gomez, who is confident that national recognition is on the way. "I'm already a celebrity in gay circles, which is fun, especially with people I'm going to try to date."
Her act, full of urbane, sexy patter about modern love, aims to be both arty and funny. But "funny" is a relative notion that Gomez confronts daily on the road. Consequently, she sometimes adjusts the sophistication of her act to suit the venue or region she's in.
"Something I do in New York could actually ruin me for playing in Iowa," explains Gomez, who counts Lenny Bruce, Lily Tomlin, and Richard Pryor among her influences. "When you're playing a bar, however, you can't get too low. I enjoy it, though it takes me hours to try to make it smart as well as filthy. When I play a big place, I don't go for the easy laugh that you can get in a bar where the people are drunk and can't take anything 'smart.' I try to play to a higher level of intelligence and give them a couple of boners along the way."
The comedian says she is looking forward to returning to the Bay Area, where she feels the local crowds' interest in work transcends the notion of "special interest" comedy.
"When I play Santa Rosa, what's great is that it's kind of like coming home again. There are a lot of people who know what I do and appreciate my style--it's pretty idiosyncratic out there," she says. "Even though I am Latina and lesbian, I don't exactly operate totally from that perspective--I feel pulled by many different forces and influences in my life. My interests are pretty vast. Consequently, my expression is kind of hard to pin down."
Gomez is confident that her biographical details have little bearing on audiences' perceptions of her.
"I don't think people are pigeonholing me. The crowds aren't, at least. If they come to see me, they're coming because they know I'm funny," she says. "There are white folks that just love to be part of the struggle, so they'll come see a Latina if she's spinning plates on sticks--'We must support her!' I love them--they mean well."
To wit, Gomez performs a bit lampooning the PC mindset called "The Serious People's Collective," a fictional group that organizes comedy shows as well as boycotts of them.
"I was raised on that kind of politically correct entertainment, but I don't think I would have lasted this long unless people thought that I was just funny," she says.
LIKE MANY comedians, Gomez culls inspiration from her daily experience and keeps a keen eye on her surroundings. "I watch people. Being in New York, however, you just don't know who to watch. I'm kind of a voyeur," says Gomez, who admits to "always being on the job."
"Sometimes I would rather just have authentic moments that are complete in and of themselves and there's no exploitation of it. Comics and storytellers are always looking for material and for stories," she explains. "What's really a drag is when people think I might use stuff from their lives when it really isn't that interesting. Something mundane might happen and someone will say, 'Oh, you're going to use that!,' as if they're being so scandalous that I would. First of all, I don't invade people's privacy--that's kind of bizarre."
The award-winning Gomez (she has captured Theatre L.A.'s Ovation Award and San Francisco's Solo Mio Award, among others) is preparing her latest theatrical work, Jaywalk, an incendiary riff on her L.A. experience, for the upcoming New York International Fringe Festival. She's also tending to her love life.
"I want to marry my dog. I might even have a wedding at the end of June," she quips. The pending nuptials with her Jack Russell terrier come on the heels of a seven-year relationship Gomez recently ended. Now the comedian enjoys what she call "relationship bites."
"The lesbians I've known are not good at dating. We're good at relationships, so all our dates are like relationships--even a first date. We would go to dinner, discuss our innermost secrets and the secrets of our ex-lovers; then we'd have dessert, pay the check, and maybe I'd have the guts to pop the question 'Do you want to come back to my place and weep?' Then there would be couple's counseling and division of property by the second date," she says with a laugh.
Unfortunately for her fans, Gomez's LBC appearance is just a one-night stand. But, true to form, she issues an earthy invitation to enjoy the show.
"Come see me if you want to see a Latina lesbian with a nice ass!" she says.
Marga Gomez performs with Doug Holsclaw at the fifth annual Lesbian and Gay Comedy Night on Saturday, June 12, at 8 p.m. at the LBC, 50 Mark West Springs Road. Tickets are $16 general, $13 for students and seniors (the show benefits the Sonoma County Pride Committee). For more information, call 546-3600.
From the June 3-9, 1999 issue of the Sonoma County Independent.

Well, why can't we make the solve part easy too?
Now, the author's explanation of the problem may not have been sufficient, as I know nothing about the P vs. NP problem, but I did instantly recognize something while reading it; it's actually a simply problem to tackle, if you know where to look!
The author then goes on to say "you probably have to go through all possible numbers from 2 to 118". <--- That line was the breaking point for my concentration. I thought that "there's no way you have to go through that many iterations for this application. That's absurd!" I instantly grabbed a pen and some paper and after a few minutes I was already typing out the C source code in a Vim which defies that. The way I did it was to take the tiny sequential steps and drop a lot of them and then make the remaining steps taller (so-to-speak).
DyslexiaWe read our text here in the the US, from left to right. We read our numbers from right to left! Yeah, that's right, we evaluate the columns starting with the least significant column, (the ones column for integers)! Anyways, the least significant column is the one which holds the most clues about a number, obviously. For instance, numbers that end in 2, 4, 6, 8 are all divisible by two. Well, if the number given in the article was 118, we could have instantly said 2 * 29 and been done with it, since that's neither 1 nor 118. Also, if the least significant column is a 5 or 0, assuming there is a tens column value for the latter, they are both divisible by 5. Well, that leaves us with 1,3,7, and 9. But wait a minute, the author says we cannot use 1. So now we are down to 3, 7, and 9!
Well if the number is not divisible by those, we increment each by 10 (becoming 13, 17, and 19) and try again. We repeat this ONLY until we get halfway up the stair case. Yeah, that's right, I just dropped even more sequential steps (half of them) from the solution the author provided. Why I do this may be obvious. If we look at numbers that are divisible by other numbers, they are never divisible by numbers higher than half of their own value. For instance 1336 is divisible by 2 which equals 668. It has no factor larger than that. Same goes for 10. 10 is divisible by 1,2, and 5, but nothing above five.
C ProgrammingSo, how does this translate into an algorithm and source code? Well, I did it in C programming, but added a massive amount of comments on the way through the code. I also broke the source code up into functions without any global variables so that I could easily explain what each does here in this weblog.
The first function outside of
main() is
void checkType(char *ct); This function simply deduces what kind of mathematics will be used on the entire number. It gathers this information by simply using the least significant value, or value in the ones column. I use the modulo function in C after converting the input as an integer. This gathers the last digit into the integer symbol,
ictm, named for "integer check type modulo". If
ictm equals 5 or 0, or 2,4,6, or 8, we process it with the function
void processEasy(int ict,int even);
This returns the value to the user and exits instantly. That means that we can instantly calculate any integer value whose least significant (ones place) value is 0,2,4,5,6 and 8. No (mathematical) verification needs done at all. That only leaves us with 1,3,7, and 9. So how many values are there that end with these four numbers "from 2 to 118" in the context of the article author's example? Well, 46 to be exact. I know this because I modified the code to output the number when sent into the
void processHard(int ict) function that I made. This function is for handling odd (least significant) numbers that aren't 1,5, or 0. That's 46 out of 117. That means that I only have to mathematically verify about 39% of the numbers. That's not too shabby.
Well, I begin with three simple calculations, for modulo,
if(ict%7==0), and finally
if(ict%9==0). Well, guess what? The second calculation got his number, 119! That means I only performed 2 verification calculations for this sum! That's about 1.7% of his "from 2 to 118" method! Bingo? No bingo. No why? Because prime numbers, that's why.
Yeah, those damned things. Well, I compensated for that by letting the application go off into a
while() loop into the
void processInsane(int ict); function. This function is pretty cool because it performs a simple stack-oriented (pemdas-like) POSTFIX inline with the modulo function in C. There were 26 prime numbers between 2 and 118. That's only 26 calls to the heavy-lifting
void processInsane(int ict); subroutine. 26 is 21% of 119. Not too shabby? That's just over one-fifth of the "verification" required for numbers 2-118.

Sergei Kvitko plays his piano transcription of Eugène Ysaÿe's Sonata for Solo Violin No. 3 "Ballade"
Sergei says: "as far as I know, this is the first and only piano transcription of any of Ysaÿe's violin music for solo piano. To anticipate the question "why do this transcription, as if there were not enough music for piano", I can only say that I fell in love with the power, scope, melodic and harmonic complexity, the explosive expressiveness of this piece so much, that I had to "own" it, I wanted to play it (but not badly enough to start learning how to play violin). I have not changed a single note of the original work, but expanded the harmonies, added inner melodic lines, passages, arpeggios, etc., utilizing the enormous possibilities of the piano to deliver the same musical ideas. This is probably one of the most difficult and technically demanding pieces I have ever played, largely due to some ungodly jumps and abundance of tenths that required extreme stretches in both hands."

TB – Langkawi
A picture from when i visited Langkawi during the spring. I really loved it there. The place we were staying was great, the beaches are beautiful, the sunset is amazing!! And the beer is extremely cheap. The last one is very important 😉
No, but drinks in Malaysia is in general pretty expensive (for Asia), but Langkawi is a Tax free zone. And it was so cozy to get some drinks to bring to the beach for watching the sunset. And when it got dark the beach is full of fire-dancers. Some very talented ones. I have a video somewhere, i will try to find it later for you guys.
This picture is from one of the islands around Langkawi tough. I visited some really nice and beautiful ones. Sadly, some of them would have been much more beautiful if not all the tourist throwing trash everywhere. I am actually getting pissed when i see that, why is people so ignorant and lazy? I mean come on, how hard can it be, bring your shit that you going to use, drink & eat at the beach, and when you are done bring your shit back. Its not like its getting heavier when its time to leave.
Alright, im done bitching! 😀 Luckily, most of the places i saw in Langkawi did not have this problem. It was just very beautiful and the people was very nice and friendly. I think i will start doing some travel guides to be found in my categories later. I have so much to tell and recommend about all my travels that i would like to share with you guys if you ever going to same places! 😀
Back in KL
And we are back in Kuala Lumpur. We left Langkawi today (such a nice place) and headed back to the big city before leaving Malaysia for this time. We really liked it here in KL so we decided to spend 2 last days here. Now we will go out for the night food market which have all sorts of delicious and cheap things to try out.
Night snacking in Malaysia
One thing you really need to try if you ever go to Malaysia is the evening food markets you most likely will find in the cities. A must try is the stands where you pick your own food and then boil it, chose your sauce, eat and then pay. They will charge you depending on the color of your sticks. Where we ate everything was between 0.50 – 3.00 MYR. A very cheap and delicious treat.
My company at work today
There is a lot of cats over here and i love it! Why? because i love cats and i can also see that they are threatened very well over here. The cats are also very friendly and like being cuddles with. Another sign that they are threatened well over here 🙂
I also have a bunch of chickens running around here and searching for food. A very peaceful place to work for me since i love nature and animals.
Relaxing evenings in Langkawi
Arrived to Langkawi yesterday and it is soo nice. Not only the place, but the fact that we decided to have some relaxing days. Not waking up early to work and go sightseeing, not visiting every tourist thing there is on the island, but just sleep long in the mornings, wake up and have breakfast and work, and later in the afternoon heading to the beach and have a beer.
This is actually the first time during my trip that i sit in the sun on the beach and have some beers. Belive it or not (beer junkie as i am), but i have been travelling for month without really hanging out at the beach at all for a day. Still hasn't thought, only a few hour, but it might happen here in Langkawi, finally 😀
Fooding around in Malaysia
One aweosme thing to do over here if you love food just like me! It is to go to a lot of Hawker centers, or food markets inside shopping malls and try out a lot of smaller dishes. You mostly find the food places on the lowest floor of the shopping malls and they are the best, dont get fooled by fancy restaurants on the other floors 😉
In Malaysia
I realized something these last weeks… it is really hard to find a hotel with really good wifi over here! Luckily we have a shopping mall close by with a food court that have good wifi.
Oh btw, i am in Penang right now. Arrived here from Borneo a couple of days ago. I had one of the best experience in my life in Borneo, but i will tell you more about it later when i can upload some nice pictures from my camera too 🙂
But so far really love Malaysia, i always wanted to go here and my gut feeling have proved me right. Kuala Lumpur is an amazing city, not as cool as Singapore but it really has a lot of cool things to offer too and it got this amazing big city soul with all different kinds of people.
Borneo (Kuching) was amazing in a very different way, cozy city and great nature. And Penang is really nice, the city is awesome to walk around in with all the street art, and the food is apparently some of the best in the world, lucky me!

This is the headline n today's Toronto Star. While undoubtedly accurate I am not sure that is what our Mayor deserves. This headline suggests that some of the evil that our Mayor spouts is based on the fact that he has imbibed. This is not true. The comments the Mayor makes while in a "drunken stupor" are most decidedly a view into his true soul. A better description would be "Racist, Sexist, Misogynist, Homophobic, Misfit." This is what our Mayor really is.
No one who speaks like Rob Ford does can be the legitimate Mayor of Toronto. The Mayor has to be Mayor of all the people – including those of us he hates. (In my own case what he describes as a Downtown Elite.) We cannot have a Mayor who divides and hates.

Lexington, KY – Kentucky Secretary of Education and Workforce Development Derrick Ramsey (center below) and Commissioner Ervin Dimeny (far left below) joined U.S. Department of Labor Office of Apprenticeship (DOL OA) Regional Director Garfield Garner (right of Sec. Ramsey) and TransPORTs, a DOL OA national industry partner, for the Kentucky Apprenticeship Accelerator session on July 11 at LexTran headquarters in Lexington.
Nearly 50 employers, workforce intermediaries, and educators participated in the event which was hosted by TransPORTs, the Kentucky Labor Cabinet, the Kentucky Science and Technology Corporation (KSTC) and LexTran, the state's public transit authority.
The Kentucky Apprenticeship Accelerator brought employers, educators, workforce intermediaries, associations and unions to the table to share critical workforce needs and learn how to access critical apprenticeship resources, program support and funding to meet those needs.
U.S. DOL Regional Director Garfield Garner provided insight into the current focus of apprenticeship expansion at the national level. Secretary Ramsey provided an overview of the state's robust and ongoing commitment to apprenticeship and highlighted examples of companies that are utilizing apprenticeship as a strategic tool to meet workforce recruitment, training, and retention goals. He and Commissioner Dimeny lauded TransPORTs and the Kentucky Cabinet's office of apprenticeship for their work "fast-tracking" technical assistance, program support and braided federal and state funding to help employers create strong, sustainable apprenticeship programs.
Murray and Kentucky Labor Cabinet apprenticeship program coordinator Brenda Demic provided participants with information on the benefits of apprenticeship for employers as well as practical tools and tips to create new or expanded programs. As a national DOL industry intermediary TransPORTs provides deep technical expertise, program assistance and targeted, strategic funding to help companies accelerate apprenticeship adoption.

CLEMSON, SC – The Clemson volleyball team posted an impressive 3-0 (25-18, 25-16, 25-17) win against Georgia Tech on Wednesday night in Jervey Gym on Solid Orange Night. The Tigers (8-8, 2-3 ACC) hit .295 as a team and swept the Jackets (7-10, 1-4 ACC) at home for the second straight season. It was a festive atmosphere, with many of the student-athletes from other sports in attendance supporting the Tigers. "It's really good to get a win like this, especially against a quality conference opponent like Georgia Tech," said Head Coach Jolene Hoover, who won her 211th career ACC match. "We came out really disciplined and focused. It was so great to get rewarded with a win. We've been playing better and playing hard, so it's really nice to have that show up in the win column. They knocked off No. 18 Florida State last week, so this is a good win for us." Clemson will have a quick turnaround as Notre Dame comes to Jervey at 7:00 pm on Friday in the first conference action between the two schools. It will be Alumni Night, as more than 20 former players will be in attendance. Following the match, fans will have the opportunity to meet the team and collect autographs. Mo Simmons, who hails from the Atlanta area, led Clemson with 14 kills on .355 hitting and 17 digs. It was her fifth straight double-double and the 24th of her career. She crossed the 1,100 kill milestone on the night, and is one dig shy of 900 for her career as well. Senior setter Hannah Brenner guided the Tigers to a .484 hitting first set, Clemson's best offensive output in a set this season. Kristin Faust had six of her 12 kills in the frame, while Simmons had five kills on seven swings and freshman Leah Perri was a perfect 4-for-4. In fact, each of Clemson's first eight attacks and nine of the first ten went for kills. Brenner had 32 assists on 67 set attempts, a kill conversion rate of .478. Clemson's aggressive serving was able to take the Yellow Jackets out of system. Most notably, Irem Bayramolu served 19 times in the three sets, and added three aces to her season total, which now rests at 17, four more than the no. 2 player, Niki Collier. Collier also played well at libero, tallying nine digs and going 15-for-15 in serve receive. Over her last two matches, she is 66-for-66. The first set was tight throughout, although Clemson's offense fired on all cylinders. There were 15 ties, but with the set tied at 17-17, Bayramoglu served the Tigers to seven straight points to blow it open. The only lead the Jackets would take the rest of the match was the first four points of the third set. Clemson quickly battled back, however, knotting the score at 5-5, before opening up a 19-12 lead. After playing Notre Dame on Friday, Clemson will have a week to prepare for Wake Forest on Oct. 18, and the Duke on Oct. 20. Clemson's match against the Blue Devils will be the "Dig Pink" match, with all proceeds going to the Side Out Foundation.

iPad 3G Shipping by May 7
Apple just updated its store with some more information about when, exactly, we can expect the iPad 3G to ship in the U.S. The company's exact wording is "by May 7th," which suggests that some iPad 3Gs may be delivered before that date.
As far as international availability goes, there's nothing new in the Apple Store about that. Apple will announce international pricing and begin taking online pre-orders on May 10, three days after iPad 3G starts shipping in the U.S. Let's hope Apple doesn't sell out its stock again by then.
