Just like Jesus' son
Jason Boyett, author of the excellent Pocket Guide series, analyzes this amazing painting.
Further evidence of the character's badness: there's also an empty pill bottle on the table. So he's not just into street drugs, but prescription ones, too. And he plays cards, which is apparently an evil pastime as well. Also there's a gun. Bad dudes have guns. And if you'll look closely, there is a pair of nunchucks hanging from the doorknob. It's a little-known fact that both Pol Pot and Saddam Hussein had nunchucks hanging from their doorknobs. Furthermore, the paint is peeling off his wall. Bad dudes don't keep their walls painted.

Sen. Evan Bayh (Photo by Leigh Vogel/Getty Images for Concordia Summit)
By Theodore Bunker |
Friday, 09 September 2016 03:41 PM
Former Indiana Sen. Evan Bayh, the current Democratic nominee for his old Senate seat, is hardly at his Indiana home, according to neighbors.
"I have not seen him around here recently," George Landis, Bayh's neighbor, told Politico. He also says he used to see Bayh come and go. "He probably still has the ownership of the condo."
Patrice Rogers, another neighbor, was surprised to hear Bayh lives nearby.
"Evan Bayh lives next door? Are you serious? I never knew that, I didn't, I'm sorry. I've been over here three years and never knew he lived over here," she said.
According to a Monmouth University poll from mid-August, Bayh is seven points ahead of his Republican opponent, Congressman Todd Young.
Bayh was forced to defend his Indiana residency weeks ago, after news surfaced of his multiple homes in Washington D.C. and his condo in Florida.
"We have a home in D.C. and we have a home in Indianapolis. We list them both for different things," Bayh said in an interview.
"I think you can follow me around here, people know me, they know my service," Bayh continued. "I was representing my state when my opponent was in high school. I mean, I know our state. I love our state. Five generations. I don't think that's going to be a compelling issue."
Although he says he spends "a lot" of time in Indiana, Bayh refused to "reduce it to a number."
After that interview, Bayh drew negative attention when he mistakenly gave the wrong address after being questioned on his residency by a TV reporter.
"Well," he said, "1142 Canterbury Court, Indianapolis, Indiana. It's on my drivers license."
Bayh's condo is located at 1142 Canterbury Square, though Canterbury Court is nearby.

After the Dorrigo National Park Rainforest Centre, the must see place in Dorrigo is Dangar Falls. They are not to be confused with Dangars Falls near Armidale, although many people do. If someone tells you that Dangar Falls is dry, you know they are talking about the wrong ones. Dangar Falls is never dry. The World of Waterfalls blog from some US visitors shows some of the more technical aspects of the falls, and also how little known they must be. That's a great pity because they are wonderful!
At the top, adjacent to the carpark and the picnic area and children's playground, you get the view of the falls that everyone is familiar with. But when you take the short walk to the bottom, there are much more interesting vistas to find. You can always find photographers down here taking long exposure or other special shots of these beautiful and lesser know waterfalls.
On your way back to Mount Christopherson you will pass the Dorrigo Steam Railway and Museum – an amazing collection of locomotives, carriages and all sorts of other railway memorabilia from government and private railways in NSW dating back to 1855. You can't visit the museum as yet, but it makes for great photo opportunities.

yesterday's post (which you can view by clicking here if scrolling sounds too laborious) talked about how online feedback seems to be losing legitimacy.
clearly, the issue was taken seriously by the chicago tribune, which posted its own article today about the legitimacy of yelp reviews. what's the world coming to when one semi-legible blog with 2 regular readers can influence the mainstream media?

Summer Rx: Beware of Barefoot Hazards
June 24, 2016 Posted by Dr.Chang
With July 4th around the corner we are spending more time outdoors. The pool, beaches, and even your own backyard can put your feet at risk of injury. Here are some reasons not to ditch your shoes this summer.
- Puncture Wounds / Trauma: Cuts, scrapes, and sharp objects like rusty nails or broken shells cause breaks in the skin and set you up for serious bacterial or viral infections.
- Skin Burns: Sidewalks, sand, and driveways can get very hot and burn the skin on the bottom of the foot. This is especially a risk for diabetic patients or patients with neuropathy who may not have the ability to feel warm temperatures or sharp sensations. Never walk or run on a hot surface without footwear.
- Infections: Pools, hot tubs, saunas and public showers can harbor bacteria, viruses, warts and fungus. Protect your feet with pool shoes or flip-flops. Have a fun and safe summer and remember to use appropriate footwear for your activities

The UK's largest retail banking group, Lloyds Banking Group (LBG) has announced the creation of a new online tool that will enable customers to compare different accounts and any tied benefits and overdraft without affecting their credit history. According to the LBG, the tool will also provide people who may not currently qualify for a checking account to interact with personal finance guides that offer tips and resources to help improve credit scores.
Commenting on the announcement, Stephen Noakes, managing director retail customer products, Lloyds Banking Group said,
"This new tool offers people the chance to understand what accounts they can switch to in a simple and straightforward way without having to worry about the knock on effect to their credit score. Customers will now have even more confidence to switch their current account by knowing what accounts they will be eligible for and the overdraft they can take with them before applying."
In the past year, the UK retail banking market has undergone major changes and part of the shift was the launch of a current account switching tool that made it significantly easier for consumers to change banks. While the major players including the LBG have not made notable moves to incent customers, this new tool might help cross-sell existing customers and pull in new customers.

Pro-Obamacare Senator Blanche Lincoln Down 65-27 in Arkansas Senate Race
Senator Blanche Lincoln (D-Arkansas) is trailing her Republican opponent John Boozman in Arkansas by 38 points.
Rasmussen reported:
Support for incumbent Democratic Senator Blanche Lincoln has now fallen to its lowest level yet as Republican John Boozman remains on track to shift Arkansas' Senate seat to the GOP column.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of Likely Voters in Arkansas shows Boozman capturing 65% of the vote, while Lincoln earns 27% support. Four percent (4%) like some other candidate in the race, and three percent (3%) are not sure.
Boozman has been ahead in this race for months. In July, he posted a 60% to 35% lead. In surveys since he won the Republican Primary in May, Boozman has earned 60% to 66% of the vote in matchups with Lincoln, who in turn has picked up 28% to 35% support.
Let's hope that Obamacare vote was worth it.
It would be interesting to discover what goodies were promised this democrat for her vote to nationalize health care. Good-bye, Blanche.

Not many artists will start musing about Mozart, Thomas Edison or Johannes Gutenberg during an interview before their set but then again most DJs aren't about to start lecturing at the Berlin University of the Arts in a course, not about music, but about sound. Karl Bartos didn't seem particularly interested in talking about mix CDs, albums or the next big thing in dance music, but after thirty years in the business, who can really blame him?
Karl Bartos started out his musical journey as a classically trained percussionist and keyboardist. Soon enough he joined up with possibly the most renowned electronic outfit of the 70's and 80's, Kraftwerk. While performing and writing for the German legends, Karl was instrumental in the creation of modern day classics like 'Trans Europe Express' and 'Computer World'.
The sound of Kraftwerk and Karl Bartos had a great influence on the world of electronic music, although this is something the man himself plays down. Despite being 53 years of age and being dedicated to his work at the Berlin University, Karl is still traveling the world with record case in hand playing to packed out dancefloors.
> Interview & Introducion : Nick Lawrence (HigherFrequency)
Karl Bartos : So, what do you want to know?
Higher Frequency (HRFQ) : Everything!
Karl Bartos : Ok you're asking.
HRFQ : A lot of people won't know what you are doing at the moment, a lot of people will still be thinking of Karl Bartos thirty years ago. If you could please explain what you are doing now.
Karl Bartos : At the centre of my life at the moment is my work at the Berlin University of the Arts. Three years ago they asked me if I wanted to join a new course of study called Sound Studies. Which starts in April and actually I am very excited about it because I have had the chance to build an electronic studio in the centre of Berlin, which is the place to be in Germany. The first class is waiting so I have designed my schedule for the summer semester, and this takes a lot of energy. Although I am still a musician working in the studio this gives a new perspective on life because the study is about sound and not about music. It is about what importance sound has for us as human beings.
HRFQ : We believe you have performed with a group called Audiovision which is the bringing together of audio and visuals.
Karl Bartos : Yeah, my main focus is pop music of course but my other focus is the convergence of image and sound. Right now I am preparing a lecture that I am giving at a movie festival in Denmark. Usually people can't remember what they have heard when they see a movie because our main focus is how we perceive the world through our eyes. We see what is going on in the world, apparently the eyes are our main organs. This also applies when we go to the cinema. While we are concentrating on what we are seeing, we are conditioned by what we hear. If there is a certain scene and you change the background music, then the scene's meaning will change completely. I find this very interesting, the interaction between what we see and what we hear. How these two major organs are working together and keep influencing each other.
HRFQ : What about your musical influences? Who or what has been a major influence on you?
Karl Bartos : How I perceive music? Difficult...You know a chord? It doesn't mean anything and a melody has got no sense at all. It's just a melody, it means nothing. If you draw a picture it gives you a view of the world but a melody or chord doesn't. The interesting thing about music is that if you boil it down, in the end it is just mathematics. It's just layers of frequencies. But the secret is, while it is just pure mathematics when we hear it, it turns into feeling. How can that be? It is amazing. So it is this magic quality of music...I am trying to find the words to explain. It is just something that we all know and we all experience but we don't know why. Why is it that for some reason mathematic calculations turn into feelings? So this is the driving force [behind my music], that I can reach people through a secret. I use it all day but I don't know why it's happening. The second thing is the communication factor of music. It is very easy to reach people through music.
HRFQ : How do you continue to reach people with your music after so many years?
Karl Bartos : It is nothing I do on purpose. It starts when you are very young at school. For me it was music. I was successful and then I fell in love with music. Also music has a certain sexual quality, it evokes emotions and it can reach people. I think the quality of music is very often overlooked, because it is so deep. I don't want to sound like Nietzsche but music is here to save us. Can you imagine a world without music? It would be boring.
HRFQ : That's music in general, but what about DJing? Why did you start DJing back in 1999?
Karl Bartos : I'm a musician, apparently I am a professor now as well, and I have a fantastic live performance with six or seven people but it is too expensive to travel. We traveled to London, to Stockholm, to Italy and the equipment goes by car while we fly by plane. Sometimes we go to America and occasionally we go to South America but it is a pain in the arse traveling with a lot of equipment. So DJing is a compromise. At the moment I am working on a project where I am putting music not on CD but on a laptop and it is a lot easier than traveling with 750kg equipment. It's a lot of stuff and you have to play big festivals and a lot of gigs in a row.
HRFQ : Back in the 70's and 80's you were most likely using a Moog synthesizer...
Karl Bartos : I still use it now. I use a lot of computers and I collect everything, so the house is full of analogue stuff and computers from generations way behind. The first computer I bought was an IBM XT. At that time it cost me 6000 euros, too expensive.
HRFQ : Previously you have commented that Kraftwerk's influence on electronic music is often overstated. What do you think has played the biggest influence on electronic music?
Karl Bartos : 1877, a guy called Edison invented the phonograph. You know what he did? Thomas Alva Edison, he separated sound from the source. Before 1877 the sound was always connected to the mechanism that produced it. Since that day, sound is disconnected from time and space. Since then nothing has changed that much. Now we have the binary alphabet but this was the major step in our acoustic reality.
HRFQ : Do you think that now we are not progressing musically like we were in the past? Has music become stagnant?
Karl Bartos : Everybody is asking about the future of music. All I can say about it is, do you still remember the time when you had an analogue telephone? Now you have a digital telephone, how have your messages changed? Not at all. The means of our electronic equipment will change the content of our culture, but it will take a while. The last time this happened was when Gutenberg invented the printing press with movable type. So he brought into our culture a new system of media. Books then became accessible to everybody. In the end this changed the way our society functioned because everyone could have access to the written alphabet. Then, at the beginning of the 20th century, a new media entered our reality which was the telegraph. The telegraph changed the way we perceived information. It was now easy to transport any information at the speed of light. Along with this came the photograph. The photograph redefined nature, and we got another reality, a recycled reality. So those things together, the electrification of information along with the picture of information gave us a new cult of information. One of my main concerns is how this electronic technology is really able to change the content of our culture, and it takes a while.
HRFQ : So, you think it is a while before music changes?
Karl Bartos : Well it has changed in one aspect. We come from a word centered culture and we are now in a picture centered culture. And the same applies to music. Music became so visualized through MTV in the 80's and 90's and for some reason a lot of the money for producing the music went into the film. So the music has become secondary. The image has become so important that you only overhear the sound beneath it.
HRFQ : Is there anything that gives music hope then?
Karl Bartos : Well music is so super strong because it can reach our soul. But I mean it doesn't help the quality of the music if you have some tits and arse on the television screen, it's just a selling process. It is wicked and you can't get away with it. Why are people still listening to music like the 'Magic Flute' by Mozart? What makes this music of such a high quality? It is encapsulated in it's formula.
HRFQ : Is there any music at the moment that has that same power?
Karl Bartos : It is always there and it will never fade away, but it has to be genuine. It is a cliche, but if people just adapt to a certain style or movement for the sake of it, it may be good but it is not eternal.
HRFQ : HRFQ : Just before you have to get ready for your set, what can people expect when they come to see you DJ?
Karl Bartos : I play some stuff from my last record called "Communication". I play some comfort tunes like 'The Robots', like 'Trans Europe Express' and I play some electro tunes from my friends. I am friends with Bernard Sumner from New Order so I play one tune of his, I play some tunes from my friends LFO. So every track I am going to play I am related to somehow.
HRFQ : How do you find new music at the moment?
Karl Bartos : I don't listen to music at the moment, I listen to sound. You can close your eyes but you cannot close your ears. There is no such thing as silence in our world. I love music, it is going to save us as I said before, but sound is super interesting as well. If you open your eyes to sound, and to discover sound and noise, it is really amazing.

Agnete Hegelund was photographed in what appears to be a severe food coma for the Vogue Italia December 2013 issue. The icy blonde beauty has on her black-tie best as she dines at an elegant eatery. Unfortunately, things get a little messy with her four-course dining experience, as the photographs show.
I'm uncertain if the spread is attempting to make a commentary on the complex, often antagonistic relationship that models have with food, or if the scene is merely showing Hegelund getting hysterical over being stood up. In any case, the images are aesthetically pleasing, with each photo depicting carefully arranged destruction.
Cathy Edwards styled Hegelund, while her Ed Meolands was responsible for her old-school hair. The editorial was shot by Miles Aldridge.

This morning was scrambled eggs and a banana. Have I mentioned how much I love working from home so I can have breakfast like this? I've only been working from home for about a month and am loving it.
Lunch was roasted vegetables; cauliflower, broccoli, and sweet potatoes with sparking POM juice.
Dinner was at American Pie for trivia night! We were able to order pizza. I had been looking forward to it all day.
This is not your typical pizza. It's gluten free crust with olive oil, garlic, mushrooms. olives, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. No cheese or sauce. The crust was thin and crispy. I love crispy crust.
It was good but I sure did miss the cheese. It just wasn't the same. Kyle did good and ordered a similar pizza. I didn't eat all of this, I had a couple pieces leftover.
We won 2nd place tonight by the way! Go In Vino Veritas!

Quantizing in Motion
On this episode of MacBreak Studio, I show Steve Martin of Ripple Training some fun ways to think about using the Quantize parameter behavior.
On this episode of MacBreak Studio, I show Steve Martin of Ripple Training some fun ways to think about using the Quantize parameter behavior.
Hi Mark,
Great video.
Did you post the Motion file anywhere with the full clock?
I'm hoping you can help me. I thoroughly enjoy Mac Break Studio and have one of Mark's courses on Motion. I'd like to try more, but when I try most motion projects, my computer works so hard and the "real time" playback is so far from the finished product that sometimes it is worthless.
The final blow was when I was going to purchase one of the Toolboxes from Ripple training the other day and noticed that the recommended requirements seem greater than my present computer.
I've decided to upgrade and don't know what system would be better for me.
I have an iMac 21.5-inch, Late 2009
Processor 3.06 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
Memory 16 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce 9400 256 MB
Software Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
Can you recommend a system for FCPX and Motion? Is there an iMac that will be up to the task? You both seem to be working with a MacBook Pro. Is that better? I don't need portability and pretty much just edit my personal fishing videos and like to create stuff with Motion.
Any information you can give me would be appreciated. I'm sure this kind of information would be appreciated by the many folks that follow you.
Dan Ferraris
Dan, Motion will work great on any new iMac or MacBook Pro. The key is to first get the best graphics card and second get as much RAM as you can.

From the time that my client's make initial contact, I make sure that they know that questions and feedback are encouraged. By the day of the session, my clients are relaxed and comfortable. This allows my clients to feel empowered and free to leave their sensuality and sexuality flow. This raw attraction and lust is apparent in the resulting images". Kate works hard to ensure that her client's vision of their Darkroom Experience is realized and that all parties are comfortable and consenting. The courage that her clients' posses to open themselves in the most intimate setting possible is not lost on Kate. No matter the motivation, every single Darkroom client has fought hard to become the person they have become. It is Kate's vision to capture her client's inner and outer beauty, along with the love/lust between lovers.
It is Darkroom Photography's policy to NEVER utilize photographs in advertising or online posting that we have not been given written permission to use by their client. Kate maintains friendships with past clients, many of whom return (with friends) for additional sessions to commemorate kinky parties, anniversaries, or other special occasions.
Kate has been a leader in erotic couples photography in Dallas TX for many years and combines her camera and the nude human form to create a graphic masterpiece. A person's curves become the composition. Composition, lighting, and angles are purposeful. If the image does not pulsate with lust, Kate considers it a failure. The result is clean, bold, graphic elements that slice through the noise of insecurities and the stress of daily life. Darkroom Photography's philosophy is a simple one: Be brave enough to live your fantasies…no matter your gender. Contact us and work with the best Erotic Couples Photographer in Dallas!
It is this ability to bring her vision to the result that attracted Kate to erotic boudoir photography. She began as a portrait photographer, but enjoyed showing people at their sexiest, and making her subjects feel as sensual and passionate as the models one sees on Tumblr. The result is a mix between boudoir and fine art photography: Erotic Boudoir. The product—the resulting photograph—may still be oriented toward certain sexual tastes and a specific audience, but the photographer's vision and interpretation influence the outcome. Every Darkroom Photography photo session is based upon creative collaboration between photographer and client, their partners, and playmates.

He is amazing and all he does all day is frames by hand. KJ told me that instead of gluing the chasu to the backing, he stitches it like they did in olden times. This is a photo of him wrapping my chasu so I could get it home safely. He had a pile of things waiting to be framed so I could tell that he is one busy guy.
The chasu made it home safe and sound. She could not have given me a more precious gift and it's something I will cherish forever. And whenever I look at it, I think of her and all the good times we had together.

Dirty siding due to pollen, mildew, and mold can quickly turn your home into an eyesore.
Oil, grease, dirt, and mildew can easily create ugly stains on your driveway.
Most roofing shingles are limestone. This encourages algae, which can cause roof damage.
Clogged gutters can cause roof leaks, rotting and other damage to your property.
Like driveways, garages (inside and out) can easily become stained and disgusting in a short period of time.
Fact: Dirty patios ruin cookouts. Pressure washing can easily clean pavers, concrete, brick, or stone back to new.
Fences and Decks
Fences and decks can begin to look grey and dingy over time, which encourages rotting and splitting.
Most sheds are under or around trees, which quickly allows them to build up mold and mildew.
As with any exterior portion of your home, awnings are prone to staining that quickly bring down the value of your home.

Booze booze booze
Nuts, nut butters, bananas, GF crackers, GF oatcakes, booze, dark chocolate – once I start, I can't stop, also green cabbage, bread – these are all things that make me bloated and/or constipated. I shall avoid for awhile. After all, summer bodies are made in the winter. I want to feel good, look good, shed the remaining excess fat and build more muscle.
I am working on eating more mindfully and stopping when I am full, also focusing a bit more on the eating aspect as opposed to exercising.
I will focus on hand-release pushups [on my feet, not knees, duh] and burpees.
I might try cold showers.
I initially wanted to try drinking like the French and Italian and having a small glass of wine with dinner, but I can't do it – excess drinking is ingrained in me.
I will not drink or eat after my late shifts at work – I will come home and go straight to bed. There is no point whatsoever in sitting watching tv until 2 am while drinking and eating, and I eat and drink a lot in a very short amount of time. This is a good opportunity to fast. I can't 100% promise on my Saturday shifts, I might have a drink or two with the others at the pub, but after that, I come home and straight to bed. Ditto on weekdays.
But I love to have a few drinks, so I'll have some on Fridays and that one or two at the pub [since I've been delegated the double Saturday shift for the foreseeable future]. As with all my other triggers, it's best when there is none at home during the week.
I can do this.

Mobile UX London is preparing for the anticipated 2017 annual conference in November. Technological predictions to biggest fears; here is all you need to know about a few of our legendary speakers.
See for yourself the kind of experienced interesting speaker who you will soon meet at our November Conference. A small questionnaire was designed to give you the best insight of the kind of people you will be dealing with:
- What encouraged you to enter the design industry the most and why?
- What has been your personal favourite mobile/emerging technology project in your career so far?
- If you had to choose one superpower what would it be and why?
- What has been the biggest challenge that you have encountered in your design career?
- What is your biggest fear?
Stratis Valachis – Aviva, Senior UX Designer
Stratis has conducted various talks with us in the past, you could say he is a regular. Stratis has led a very interesting UX career, starting out in the field for a Universal UX reasoning, which is thriving to find out better ways to solve problems in people's lives.
He has led a very successful career, in and out of some big UX names such as Hackajob and Aviva as well as working in a variety start-up companies in the United States and Europe. Straits is currently a senior UX designer for Aviva where he has encountered one of his personal favourite projects — Designing the Aviva skill for Alexa, in particular, working around the usability constraints of voice.
Underneath the professional layer of Stratis, it turns out that he is also an aspiring Jedi! The force is strong with the wise one, Sratis thoroughly understands the true power and limitless capability of the force although when it comes to wasps, Straits confidently admits he runs screaming due to their vicious nature. I guess every superhero has his weakness no matter how big or small.
Stratis will be speaking about Conversational User experience; where it is at, and where it is heading. Based on a practical and educated prediction Stratis believes that within the next ten years we may be facing a conversational user experience that is tightly integrated with other types of interfaces of various modalities (visual, touch, gesture and voice) to allow users to communicate with machines in different ways depending on the needs of each use-case, making a more personalised experience.
Christophe Mallet – Somewhere Else, Co-Founder
The interesting Christophe Mallet will be conducting a talk based around VR, specifically, the transition from author-directed linear narratives and into the realm of world-building ultimately allowing the spectator to become the visitor.
Christophe started out within the music industry and started to slowly move towards design in 2015, this was due to encountering a VR experience that has stuck with him throughout his life. Christophe found himself completely immersed and able to move freely inside the world of a Van Gogh painting; The Night Café. VR is redesigning the way we see, learn and teach within society; Christophe describes VR as a dream for designers. Christophe is now a Co-founder of Somewhere Else, a company in which helps brands, agencies and innovators harness the power of immersive tech.
Christophe encountered his personal favourite emerging technological project whilst working at Exzeb where he took part in developing a VR game. The game involved the investigation of the tortured mind of an abused victim, Christophe got to explore how to build one narrative across dimensions (VR & IRL, past & present, the real & the unconscious).
Christophe has a very common fear that we can all greatly appreciate; becoming Donald Trump or becoming blind, he found it pretty difficult to choose out of the two. Mallet's fascinating superpower is the ability to become multiple bodies of oneself whilst sharing the same mind, the idea is to prevent outgrowing friends and loved ones whilst enhancing knowledge from various angles at the same time.
Julian Caraulani – Samsung, UX Designer
Last but certainly not least we come onto Julian Caraulani who chose to enter the design industry for two reasons: the instinct to take things apart, and the relentless questioning of things around me. Graduating from Coventry in 2012, Julian has worked his way into the likes of Orange and is currently working in design user experience for Samsung.
Julian takes a lot of pride in the backbone development of IOT which create meaningful use-cases, applications, and behaviours. Joy through applying design at the highest level possible in an organization is what Julian thrives off.
Julian struggles the most with understanding how to boil down complex concepts that are difficult to simplify, to allow a digestible understanding. Julian is also a strong believer in knowing little about a lot; He wisely quotes "There are far too many opportunities to waste time, energy, creativity and ultimately, life on meaningless tasks".
Julian is also a strong believer in knowing little about a lot. He will be discussing the Methodologies and skills that turn the UX design team into the ultimate disruption tool. Julian will be discussing the Methodologies and skills that turn the UX design team into the ultimate disruption tool. Since these are emerging economies, Julian believes that UX-ers need to quickly identify pre-competitive value by shifting from deliverables and focusing on the economy of behaviour.

BERLIN (MarketWatch) -- Shares in German airline Air Berlin PLC (AB1.XE) fell sharply Monday after the company became the latest European airline to lower profit forecasts due to a soaring fuel bill.
Analysts described the move as a serious blow to Air Berlin's credibility and at 1303 GMT, the stock was down EUR0.57, or 9.3%, at EUR7.35.
Germany's second largest airline behind Deutsche Lufthansa AG (LHA.XE) said it expects earnings before interest and taxes, or EBIT, to come in between EUR73 million and EUR120 million in 2008, down from its previous forecast of between EUR140 million and EUR160 million. It posted EBIT of EUR21.4 million in 2007.
The airline blamed higher operating costs, primarily rising fuel costs.
Hamburg-based Alster Research analyst Oliver Drebing said Air Berlin had also told analysts the business outlook could deteriorate further if the economic outlook worsens.
However, the analyst added that an EBIT of EUR120 million should be achievable for Air Berlin in the current economic environment.
In its 2007 financial report published Monday, Air Berlin said there are "somewhat subdued prospects for air passenger volume" due to the current economic situation.
It expects 2008 passenger numbers to grow between 3% and 5%, while sales are expected to come in at about EUR3 billion, up from EUR2.54 billion in 2007.
Air Berlin's warning follows similar projections from other European airlines. U.K. budget airline easyJet PLC (EZJ.LN) March 19 warned that pretax profit in its fiscal year to Sept. 30 will miss its previous guidance if current fuel prices are maintained. It said the forward price of jet fuel for summer 2008 had risen to more than $1,000 a ton, from $840 a ton in February.
British Airways PLC BAIRY Chief Executive Willie Walsh, this week under pressure because of problems moving the airline into Heathrow's new Terminal 5, had previously warned BA was facing a tough 2008 due to weaker economic conditions and rising fuel costs. BA expects profit margins to fall back in its next fiscal year starting April 1 compared to the current one due partly to rising fuel costs.
Ryanair Holdings PLC RYAAY, -6.04% meanwhile, has said it's planning a series of cost-cutting measures - including a pay freeze for top management - to offset rising fuel costs as it prepares to enter its next fiscal year largely unhedged.
Air Berlin Chief Financial Officer Ulf Huettmeyer Monday said it has hedged about 75% of its 2008 fuel requirement at $780 per ton, some $250 to $270 per ton lower than current market prices. He added that the remaining 25% of the requirement, about 300,000 tons will be hedged toward the end of the year in the at an average price of around $855 per ton.
Air Berlin, which floated in 2006, has previously suffered issues over its financial outlook. Last November, the company had to withdraw its financial outlook for 2007 following a delay in integrating its newly acquired charter airline LTU.

Local SEO, local external SEO, blog writing & social media
September 2012 – Present
Sentry Protective Systems is a residential and commercial home alarm system company located in the Northeast. Their target area is New Hampshire and Boston.
The alarm system space is a congested space. You have large companies such as ADT, LifeShield and more occupying the space for most tier 1 city keywords. Boston being a tier 1 city the local space was very busy. Many different alarm web pages connected with Boston and New Hampshire localized keywords.
The site was a brand new website with many new pages so we working with fairly fresh URL's which take time to mature.
Still, the site had the following issues prior to re-developing and implementing onsite SEO efforts:
Our first effort was to identify a strategy that broke out all core services onto their own pages. With individual service pages we were able to go after a wider net of relevant industry keywords. Once we had the site built out with new content we shifted gears to a local SEO approach. We utilized efforts like online PR, local business profiles, review sites, business directories and niche websites to build up the link profile of the website. This multi-pronged approach using safe Google approved marketing methods allowed the site to build traction in the local online marketing space while bringing in individual traffic and brand building.

There's no denying it, 2017 is officially in full swing. This year, we're seeing if you can boost your motivation to get moving by trying out some pretty 'out there' fitness classes. This week we take an aqua cycling fitness class.
If you missed out on last week's classes, check out our review of barre and aerial slings now.
What is aqua cycling?
Forget traditional aqua aerobics or lapping the pool for hours, now you can take your spinning class underwater. Aqua cycling (also known as hydro cycling) is a cycling class performed in a pool. Bikes are submerged whilst you sit waist-deep and peddle against the resistance of the water.
The water workout benefits your cardiovascular health in the same way that regular cycling or swimming does. And at the same time, the buoyancy of the water reduces the impact on your muscles and joints.
The class – here's how it went
While we kitted ourselves out with rubber shoes and inflatable dumbbells, our bikes were submerged in a row along on the shallow side of the pool. The water came no higher than waist-height as the bikes stuck to the pool floor using suction. The music began to signal the start of the class.
To begin the class, our instructor guided us through a warm–up. This helped us get used to peddling against the resistance of the water at whatever we each perceived to be 50% of our maximum capability.
Throughout the class, every angle of our bike was used. We sat, stood and lowered down in-between the handlebars and seat, all the while keeping our legs moving. The dumbbells were added for a shoulder and arm workout, using the water for extra resistance.
We then moved onto a core session. Rotating our body from one side of the bike to the other and hooking our feet around the handlebars for sit-ups. The seat was used as a support for a round of push-ups as our lower bodies floated alongside our bikes.
To make it more challenging, we were instructed to take the intensity of our cycling up in stages. This meant cycling at 50, 60, 70, 80 and 90% of our maximum effort. After an hour of making waves, we cooled down with some stretches, using even more angles of the bike you didn't know existed.
The verdict
Although not an intense cardiovascular workout as expected, this class could still be good for anyone looking for a low-impact, beginner's class.
Coming up next week, we're getting in touch with our inner child and giving Hula hooping a go.

Well, the shower door enclosure has been installed and the first bathroom, for all intents and purposes is completed. The smoked glass, frameless shower doors look great against the grey tile and the nice blue fixtures set off the trim and wall color. All in all, we are very pleased with the result.
As you can see, all of the colors work nicely. All that remains for this bathroom is the sign "Boy's Room" and we are finished.
Now Denise's bathroom ("Girl's Room"), well underway at the left, has the same floor and wall tile, but a pink trim piece and her walls will be pink, with white fixtures. So, while they are similar, they will be customized to each of our wishes.
Also- since Aldo is traveling back to New York in a few weeks, he added a helper and have started with the drop ceiling to hide the ductwork for our forced air fireplace system. We are getting into better weather now and soon plan to start painting and working on some of the outside projects we have. By "we", of course, I mean people that we can find to do the work. After all, if we ended up doing the work- we wouldn't be retired.

When I started out baking a few years back, these were one of the first ones I tried. A friend and I combined two recipes together. The recipe may have changed a bit over the years, maybe add some spices here and there. I make them every year and they are still big favorite with friends and family.
You can make them into mini pumpkins, (like the cover photo) with a mini bunt cake tray. The frosting is the "glue" to put the two ends together and to get the dripping effect, put some frosting in a pyrex and put it in the microwave for 8-10 seconds. Stir and you will have a more liquidy texture.
- 2 cups of cake flour
- 1 tsp of baking soda
- 1 ½ tsp of baking powder
- ¾ tsp of salt
- 1 ½ of ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp of ground ginger
- ½ tsp of ground nutmeg
- 1 cup of brown sugar
- ½ cup granulated sugar
- 1 stick of butter
- 3 eggs
- 1 tsp of vanilla
- 1 can of pumpkin puree
- A little less then ¼ cup of maple syrup- pure
Preheat oven to 350F. Cream the butter and sugar in a standard mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at time until well combined. Add the brown sugar to the egg mixture and beat until well combined. In a separate bowl, combine all the dry ingredients: flour, soda, powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg and mix together. In another bowl, if you are like me, I just put the wet ingredients in a pyrex, add the vanilla and syrup. Alternating between the dry and wet ingredients, add to the batter, beginning and end with the dry ingredients. Mix until well combined before add the next to the mixture. Once all well incorporated, add the puree until just combined. Have ready a lined cupcake tray and fill until 2/3 full. Bake for about 15-18 minutes.
- 1 (8-ounce) package cream cheese, softened
- ¼ cup butter, softened
- 3 cups confectioners' sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

The player controls a spaceship in an asteroid field which is periodically traversed by flying saucers. The object of the game is to shoot and destroy asteroids and saucers while not colliding with either, or being hit by the saucers' counter-fire. The game becomes harder as the number of asteroids increases.

Brussels, 28 Feb 2005
The Dutch government is to fund a new centre, unique in Europe, to provide facilities and expertise for the development and production of new biopharmaceutical products.
The BioConnection initiative, a novel public-private collaboration with a total investment of 15 million euro, aims to offer young biopharmaceutical companies a 'one-stop shop', with the use of dedicated and centralised production facilities.
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that do not have their own production facilities will be able to turn to BioConnection for small-scale clinical as well as large-scale commercial productions.
'In addition, they will be able to obtain expertise in the area of development and production, both for active biopharmaceutical ingredients and biopharmaceutical end products, because BioConnection will afford them access to a network of suppliers of knowledge and services,' states the multinational pharmaceutical company, Organon, one of the partners in the project that will make some of its facilities available.
Market Research commissioned by the Dutch Ministry for Economic Affairs and the Mibition Foundation (aimed at stimulating the use of innovative equipment and facilities in the field of the life sciences), showed that pharmaceutical start-ups have a need for quick, flexible and cost-effective facilities where biopharmaceutical products can be produced on a small scale.
'Hundreds of, frequently young, companies in Europe work on the development of new pharmaceutical products. As they get closer to the market the need for production capacity increases,' explains Organon. 'The lack of such facilities was until now a restraint on the development of the biopharmaceutical sector and on new drugs. The new centre satisfies this need. It has ultramodern installations at its disposal that meet all safety and production requirements for the manufacture of medicines. Here, companies can have their products made on various scales,' it adds.
In line with the Dutch government innovation policy and its 2004 Life Sciences Action Plan, this initiative aims to stimulate start-ups in the field of biotechnology. The government's strategy is based on stimulating growth through market-driven investments in high-quality production facilities and knowledge network rather than giving subsidies to individual companies. It is hoped BioConnection, which will be based in Oss, will strengthen the Dutch life sciences infrastructure, and make the Netherlands more attractive for new companies.
'This is a good example of how a multinational can have great added value for start-up companies,' said Onno Hoes, Deputy for Economic Affairs in the province of North Brabant, where Oss is situated. 'Sharing knowledge is essential for new activities and thus for the economy.'

2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 is a result of the recent expansive efforts of the current SUV lineup launched by major American Automaker. It was initially released as a member of the "GM C/K Trucks" family by Chevrolet back in 1969. They model was eventually substituted by Chevrolet Tahoe in 1995 but was later reinvented as Chevrolet Suburban (often known by its popular nick name – Jimmy). The model was characterized by a relatively longer wheel base in addition to a 2nd row of passenger seating and an integrated rear end. Like most GMC trucks, 2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 is available in a primary rear wheel drive platform in addition to an optional all wheel drive system.
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5: Redesign Exterior and Interior
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 has been highly praised for its excellent off road capabilities owing to its increased total power output & low end torque. Next generation Chevy Blazer K-5 comes with highly redesigned exterior – the model features an updated front & rear end chassis. Its highly aerodynamic design will help in increasing fuel efficiency & reducing fuel consumption. Other major exterior changes include newly installed LED head & tail lights along with premium quality skid plates by Nismo and 17 inch alloyed rim tires.
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 offers a refurnished interior with significantly increased passenger & cargo capacity. It should also be noted that the greatest change to its interior is the addition of modern age technology which includes an AVIC-X930BT Pioneer Navigation, updated infotainment system, LED based gauges & meters etc which were previously absent in its earlier versions. In overall, the model features a stylish appearance with comfortable & spacious interior. The model offers a traditional front engine placement in addition to a standard seating capacity of 4 adult passengers. Earlier the truck featured a removable top which was later discontinued in 1992.
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5: Engine Specs
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 is one of the flagship Sports Utility Vehicles offered by General Motors in the heavy duty category and has therefore been provided with a high performance power train. Its engine consists of a high power output V 6 cylinder unit improved torque output. Also the unit has been paired with an 8 speed automatic power transmission and HD axles. Next generation Chevy Blazer K-5's reputation as a fully functional off road SUV is further supplemented by the fact it is only the "4×4" truck in the market. One should also note major modifications in its power train as also being currently considered – many viable options include a diesel engine in addition to the regular V 6 cylinder unit.
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5: Release Date and Price
2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 is yet to debut its concept model and therefore its date of release still remains unannounced. Similarly its estimated price range is yet to be officially quoted by company executives. However, it should be noted that the next generation Chevy Blazer K-5's concept model is speculated to be unveiled sometime in 2016 which will be followed by the release of its production model.

Myth III: The Wolf Age is a part of the Myth series (see also Myth II). Developed by Mumbo Jumbo, published by Godgames and Take 2 in late 2001. (Obviously, Bungie was busy making FPSes and when they got sold to Bill Take 2 got the Myth franchise...)
(Note: the following was written before I got my copy of Myth II for Linux...)
The story on the game is set 1000 years before the previous two games. The game tells about the end of the Wind Age, and the rise of the greatest hero of the age, Connacht the Wolf, who became the first really good hope of mankind in the war against the Myrkridia.
It's always refreshing to see a fantasy world that doesn't lean to Tolkien's direction that much! We have some humans here, some bomb-tossin' dwarves, and some nasties from supernatural origins and tons of undead things. No sight of elves or orcs or trolls, but for latter two, there are reasonable but meaner equivalents. =)
It's sort of an atypical RTS game - not a boring "we build stuff and crush enemy" but rather "We have this bunch of warriors and we're supposed to do something clever". It does have its problems: The first few missions were goddamnedly dark, and the first one was unforgivingly hard - as a novice, I really had to choose the "Weak" skill level. I thought that would be bad, but then I heard some Myth veterans had done the same thing =)
Also, the camera angle things are somewhat tricky to master, but can be learned relatively easily. (This is also only the second 3D RTS I've ever had, and Shogun - Total War is an entirely different beast...)
The game is more like what I want from a RTS: There's no way to produce more units! You have to survive with the forces you are given, which is just about fair. Some units (like the legends like the Wolf) also follow you to the following missions.
The music and graphics are absolutely beautiful, and the sounds of the warriors are also a joy to hear (well, the shouts of victory, at least). I have also heard that in this part all of the battlefield graphics is 3D - previous games, I heard, used sprites too.
I also like the fact that it's possible to save the "film" of the battle to a file. Great material for fantasy movie makers =)
Crazy details:
"For Great Justice!"
- one of the battlecries of the Heron Guard
Some details on how this game differs from Myth II: The units are slightly different, of course, and this is, as mentioned, completely in 3D. Of course, all features from Myth II are there.
Also, there's one change in style: cut scene videos are now also rendered in 3D - Myth II used a more "traditional" 2D cel animation style (genuine Japanese anime, no less =). I think M3's cutscenes are thus a bit more... mundane. However, I personally think M3's music is much better than M2's - there's not too many memorable pieces of music in M2 (the music goes in one ear and out of the other), but I can remember stuff from M3...
Both are brilliant games, yes =)
It should also be noted that Myth III writers did not consult the original writers of Myth:TFL and Myth II, and isn't entirely without contradictions what comes to the stories of the earlier games, so some purists consider Myth III story to be non-"canon". Reportedly it's still a nice story for most parts!

Now what do we have here…..?
You can find them all over Umbria and it is a great addition to any meat stew, especially wildboar. Here in Umbria it is also used with eel from Lake Trasimeno roasted over an open fire. Sometimes some wood of the trees is added to a fire above which meats are roasted to give it a nice laurel smoke. Now and then I like to pop a leaf in my mouth (and no they are not poisonous).
The berries can be used to. They are the origin of the word baccalaureate, yes that litteraly means laurel berry. There is a nice story about Apollo chasing Daphne who is not interested in him, being changed into a laurel tree by Gaia. This saddens Apollo very much and he weaves a wreath from the branches of the tree. In honour of Apollo victors and laureates are still given a wreath of bay leaves these days.

Now that the holiday season is officially upon us, most of us have probably started thinking through our gift lists....not just what we want but what to give our friends and family. Last Christmas, I took on the endeavor of making many of the gifts that I gave. While ambitious and slightly exhausting, I really enjoyed it and plan on doing it again this year. While I can't give away my handmade gift ideas for this year (sorry hubby, you're out of luck- no slip ups here!), I can share some tutorials on gifts I made last year. So first up is a Kindle cover.
Last December, Mike received a Kindle from my parents and I for his birthday. Along with requesting that, he also requested a Kindle cover. But after checking out options on Amazon, I didn't quite have the $40 to spend on a cover. Enter creative thinking.
First, I started out by observing the general features of Kindle covers.
|$40 will get you this leather Kindle cover from Amazon.
I noticed that they all had a stiff cover of some sort to protect the Kindle. I also saw that most had an elastic band to keep the cover closed.
I also noticed that while some did have fancy pockets to hold papers and tabs to hold the Kindle in place, others just left the Kindle sitting on top of the back portion of the cover, as shown above. After thinking through what I could do at home, I figured this model was probably the easiest to duplicate.
Once I had the design in mind, I gathered all my supplies on my official crafting surface...the living room carpet. They consisted of the Kindle itself so I could measure it, fabric, a ruler, chalk, cardboard, and a drafting triangle.
Next, I began measuring the Kindle to see how much of a stiff surface I would need. I used cardboard I had on hand because I thought that it would be stiff enough to offer support but not so heavy that it would be uncomfortable to hold. Once I knew the dimensions of the Kindle I cut the cardboard into three pieces. One for the larger, right side front cover, one for the back cover, and one for the narrow, left side front cover. This narrow, right side front cover would fold over the larger, left side front cover and keep it closed (it will make sense once you see the finished product).
|The cardboard pieces: front, back, and overlapping narrow front cover.
Next, I cut the fabric pieces to match the cardboard. I decided to use black felt on the outside because its soft and not overly bright or busy. Mike likes fairly simple patterns so I figured black was a safe bet.I began by measuring out the appropriate distance between the coardboard pieces, knowing that I wanted them to fold into eachother like a journal. Once I had the correct spacing, I laid them out on the black felt and cut out a large rectangle.
|I used the drafting triangle and chalk to mark my cut lines on the felt.
|Once the rectanble of felt was cut, I evened out my measurements and trimmed off any excess material.
Next, I did the same thing with the inside, liner fabric. I chose to use striped,cotton, green and blue fabric for the inside, just to brighten things up a bit. Plus, green is one of Mike's favorite colors so I knew he'd like it. Once I had the rectangle of striped fabric cut to the right dimensions, I hemmed all 4 sides. Felt doesn't really fray too easily, so I decided not to hem it. However, regular cotton fabric will fray on the edges, hence needing to hem that layer.
I also decided to sew a green strip of the striped fabric on the front side of black felt just for extra pizzazz. Here's what the front cover looks like with the green stripe added (sorry for the washed out picture).
|Looking at the cardboard pieces above (L -R), is the front cover (felt with green stripe),
the back cover (black felt), and the narrow, front fold over cover (black felt).
Next, I was ready to assemble the cover. Unfortunately, I have limited pictures for this part so I'll do my best to explain it. First, I laid down the front, felt cover, good side facing the floor, and laid out the cardboard pieces on top of the felt, with the appropriate spacing in between. Once I knew the spacing was correct, I glued the cardboard pieces into place using a spray adhesive.
Then I laid the rectangle of hemmed, striped fabric on top of the cardboard and felt layers, good side facing up. Think of the black felt and striped fabric creating a sandwich where they are the bread and the cardboard is the meat (maybe a nice smoked turkey???). Once the striped fabric was lined up over the black felt, I brought it over to the sewing machine and began sewing around the top and side edges.I decided to use green thread so that it would blend in with the striped fabric and also add a nice little pop of color against the black felt.
I stopped sewing once I got to the middle of the bottom edge of the cover. At this point, I wanted to sew in the elastic band that would go over the side of the cover to keep it closed. I ended up using a thin, elastic headband I had lying around, which fit perfectly. I simply tucked one end of the elastic band in between the front and back covers, where the right edge of the middle piece of cardboard meets the left edge of the right piece of cardboard. I then sewed the elastic in place along the edge of the fabric.
Once that elastic was sewed in place, I finished sewing the bottom edge of the cover closed. The last part to sew was inbetween each layer of card board, creating seams that would help hold the cardboard pieces in place. Although I had glued them in place, I didn't want them shifting at all from side to side, so vertical stitches would create individual "pockets" of fabric that would ensure that the cardboard pieces would stay in place. I simply ran stitches from top to bottom, directly over all the fabric pieces, inbtween the large, left side front cover and back cover, and in between the back cover and narrow, right side fold-over cover. After that it was ready to go
Now for more pictures which will hopefully make the instructions much more clear!
|This is the inside of the cover. You can see the elastic sticking out of the bottom right corner.
|A simple elastic headband worked perfectly to keep the cover closed.
Now for a look at the outside of the cover:
|The narrow, right side front cover folds over the larger, left side front cover
and is held closed by the elastic, stitched in place on the bottom seam.
|A stripe of green fabric adds a bit of interest to the plain, black felt.
|The money shot: here's what its all about.
|And just in case Mike didn't know what to do, I left him some handy-dandy instructions.
Now I do realize that this cover doesn't have any tabs holding the Kindle in place. But I will say that Mike inserted the Kindle, closed the cover with the elastic band and shoot that sucker like bartender shakes a martini and.....it.didn't.budge.one.inch. So I felt fairly confident that it would do its job of storing the Kindle safely. And I'm happy to report that roughly one year later, the cover has held up really well and it still doing its job of keeping the Kindle safe.
Do you have any amazon-related items you've tried to DIY? PEC would love to hear!

A New Visitor
As the seasons change, the bird species that visit the feeders change too.
I heard this shy little character long before I saw it. A sweet, mournful whistle that I hadn't heard before.
I eventually spotted her perched in the trees but it was several more days before she finally plucked up the courage to come to the feeders.
A female Black-headed Grosbeak refueling on her migratory route.

I have been virtually absent for the whole month of May! It was not just the lack of pageants this month, but my online absence was because of some professional matters that I had to attend to. Nothing that you should worry about, I promise! In fact, things are shaping up quiet well.
Today, I just want to welcome the month of June 🙂 We are entering the second half of the year. This means that the international pageant season is just about to begin. Just imagine that we are a day/a week/a month closer to Miss Universe 2014, Miss World 2014, Miss Intercontinental 2014, Miss Supranational 2014, Miss Earth 2014 and Miss International 2014. Exciting times if you will ask me!

HESPERIA � The Hesperia Chamber of Commerce isn't waiting for the economy to pick up. It's leading the charge by offering its members numerous new website features, a larger store front location and other perks designed to stay ahead of the fray.
The chamber's improved website, HesperiaCC.com, was launched earlier this week and features an up-to-date user interface and more power under the hood.
"We're going to do our best to drive customers to your business or website," CEO Yvonne Woytovich told members during a presentation Tuesday at the chamber's monthly luncheon meeting at Courtyard Marriott in Hesperia.
Search engine optimization, an improved online business directory and in-depth members-only access top the list of improvements. The new features will help boost an already effective site: Last year about 700,000 referrals were made to its members via the website, Woytovich said.
"The directory has an all new look, and it has neat features. Now you can have a static URL and put it on your business card."
She also encouraged members to take advantage of online referral reports, which allow users to see in black and white how the chamber is helping connect potential customers to member businesses.
