Originally published in The Atlantic in 1945, Vannevar Bush's essay "As We May Think" detailed a post-war agenda for computing research focused on extending human cognition and scientific discovery. Bush envisioned a futuristic machine called the Memex, a portmanteau of "memory" and "index," which would be capable of storing and indexing all human records, books and communications. The Memex would provide an "enlarged intimate supplement to one's memory." Bush's vision evoked a new era of scientific discovery in which scientists would quickly access an unlimited storehouse of data and follow associated "trails" of information, accelerating the pace of human discovery, collaboration and innovation.
Bush's vision directly influenced generations of computing pioneers and Federal investments in computing research and infrastructure starting with J.C.R. Licklider and Douglas Engelbart. At ARPA, Licklider funded research that led to the backbone of the Internet and broadband communications and to time-sharing computers. The research of Douglas Engelbart at SRI International led to the "mother of all demos" featuring the introduction of the computer mouse, video conferencing, hypertext, word processing, hypermedia, and a collaborative real-time editor.
This foundation has inspired numerous virtuous cycles of Federal investment, groundbreaking research, industry innovation and commercial adoption. Federal research has been instrumental in the creative discovery of many of the components of modern computing systems. For example, a recent Congressional briefing, "Deconstructing the iPad: How Federally Supported Research Leads to Game-Changing Innovation," detailed the legacy of Federal investment leading to the invention of GPS, integrated circuits, capacitive sensing, and graphical user interfaces.
Vannevar Bush did not simply envision new technologies, but new ways of working together leading to human insight and discovery. The impetus to support large-scale collaborations led the way to the invention of hypertext and the world wide web, wikis and Wikipedia, email and social media. Taken together, this first era of networked computing has created a foundation of human connectivity, information search and management, and knowledge distillation. Another way to make this point is to list the top eight Internet sites today, which include Facebook, Google, Twitter, YouTube and Wikipedia.
We have only taken the first steps toward Bush's vision. While the first era was dominated by establishing connectivity, the next era will be about discovery. Even more transformative than these past steps, the combination of "big data," computational analytics, new interaction paradigms including mixed reality and adaptive learning, and new everyday decision making and scientific practices will make our current information age look like the stone age. As before, this vision needs investment in fundamental research.
And the potential payoff? A health care system in which the lag between vetted discoveries and health care delivery is measured in months not decades. Logistics and transportation systems that respond, in real time, to fluctuations in demand and traffic. An educational system focused on discovery and knowledge generation, not memorization and out-of-date training.
Bush, Licklider, and Engelbart understood that the power of computing technologies is directly measured by how computing extends human expertise: knowledge, learning, communication and discovery. We are at the beginning of a tremendous partnership between people and computing.
Elizabeth Mynatt is a professor of Interactive Computing and the executive director of Georgia Tech's Institute for People and Technology. The Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) serves as a catalyst for research activities that pursue transformations in healthcare, media, education, and humanitarian systems by integrating advances in human-centered design, system science and engineering, policy, and management. Dr. Mynatt is an internationally recognized expert in the areas of ubiquitous computing, personal health informatics, computer-supported collaborative work and human-computer interface design. Named Top Woman Innovator in Technology by Atlanta Woman Magazine in 2005, Dr. Mynatt has created new technologies that support the independence and quality of life of older adults "aging in place," that help people manage diabetes, and that increase creative collaboration in workplaces. Dr. Mynatt is a member of the ACM SIGCHI Academy, a Sloan and Kavli research fellow, and serves on Microsoft Research's Technical Advisory Board. She is also a member of the Computing Community Consortium, an NSF-sponsored effort to engage the computing research community in envisioning more audacious research challenges.

A to Z Challenge Theme Reveal Day! #atozchallenge
Three years ago, A to Z participant Mina Lobo started the Theme Reveal, and we thought it was such a great idea that we made it tradition.
Here is how the Theme Reveal Blogfest works:
Sign up on the Linky List below. On Monday, March 21 (TODAY!) reveal your theme on your blog and give us a hint of what to expect from it. Then, once your post is up, use the Linky List to visit all the other blogs announcing their themes.
This is a great opportunity for all of you to get a jump start on your A to Z experience. You can link up with fellow bloggers, scout out and bookmark themes that you look forward to, and lure in wandering participants with your awesome theme. This way, by the time the frenzied posting begins on April 1, you will already have an audience eagerly awaiting your posts.
Be sure to visit others on the list and find some awesome themes!

I don't do the Theme Reveal as my theme doesn't change - food related again.ReplyDelete
Great to see so many people participating today! :) This is my third year. It's challenging to come up with a different theme each time.ReplyDelete
I got mine up! Stop on by to see what I have this April.ReplyDelete

I do love how the reveal helps get the abc moving!ReplyDelete
Alex - Thanks for doing this again this year. I'm signing up multiple blogs. Just noticed I typo'ed my email address in a few of my blog links for Mr Linky.ReplyDelete
I left out an "S" in the address. You will see where, if you have a chance to look. It makes a lot more sense with the S (as in SAY). ;-)
Hi everyone, I'm No 486. I'd forgotten today was the A to Z reveal for April's fun Challenge. So I've added it on the end of my Star Trek movie post which doesn't make it very visible because of its length. Word to the wise - short blog posts are winners!ReplyDelete
OK, I think I am ready now. Thinking FIVE blogs may be enough this time. (I know. Cutting back.)ReplyDelete
Theme reveal posts appear here:
Coming in April: Job Picks from A to Z
April theme reveal: Dandy dog names from A to Z
April A-Z theme reveal: Verses from vintage visages
April A-Z theme revealed - God's character from A to Z
April A to Z theme unveiled: Describing multiple sclerosis from A to Z
Looking forward to the A to Z Challenge for 2016!
And you know I forgot to post on one of my blogs. Time sort of sneaks up on you.ReplyDelete
Oh well, I'll spend my week checking out as many as I can. Cheers.

I'm going to be blogging about the A-Zs of photography at http://www.jenniesisler.wordpress.com. Hope to see you there!ReplyDelete
I am quite late in revealing the theme.ReplyDelete
Check it out here - Home
Sorry I missed the theme reveal, my computer was down :( Glad it happened last week and not next week!! My theme is all about sewing/crafts!ReplyDelete
I didn't link up as I didn't know if I was goin' to do this year. I did one other time and man it challenged me. But, I think I will do this year. I have been in sort of a bloggin'/writin' slump and this'll be just the thing to help push me out. My theme will be Texas since this is what I mainly write aboutReplyDelete
Posted my theme reveal late but it will be A to Z reviews of young adult books.ReplyDelete

Getting to know your clients on a personal level is one of the most important things you can do as a photographer. Not only does understanding their life stories, personalities and sense of style help design how you will compose their photographs with their highest level of satisfaction in mind, but you are also able to create a sense of ease and allow some relaxation as your time together progresses. Let's be honest…it can be very overwhelming to sit for a portrait and even terrifying to be the subject of the ever-present wedding day photographer. Anything you can do to quell anxious nerves and timid smiles is vital to making sure your client is pleased with the end result in your images.
Equally important, in my opinion, is allowing clients to get to know the photographer. It continues to help deepen the relationship to ultimately produce more natural, inviting images, but even before that point, I believe knowing who your photographer is as a person is an important piece of the puzzle when determining who you would like to work with as the client. Going beyond who produces the images you are most drawn to (which is pivotal of course) and delving into the heart of the photographer to know and understand how they appreciate art, life and all else can help narrow the focus to the exact photographer that is just right for you. With that in mind…welcome to me. Katy Blevins. Your photographer.
To say I was born into the arts in an understatement. On one side of my family stands a long-standing loyal troupe of singers, dancers, and entertainers well-known for hosting massive generational variety shows much beloved by the local community in years past (and yes, it goes without saying that there is video footage…embarrassing video footage). On the other side of my family stand the artists and the musicians. Those that see the world differently than everyone else and are eccentric creatives with a knack for a little craziness and a whole lot of heart, coupled with an intense measure of grace and wisdom. I grew up totally immersed and learned very early on that the core of life was art and that music, color and creative expression were the greatest gifts God had given us. I cry when I listen to music and sometimes feel the beauty before me is so engaging and deep that I can scarcely breathe. I see the world differently than most people I think, and I owe that to my family. We come from a long line of dreamers. And I've got spunk.
I have known great joy, great pain and great challenge in my life. All of these events, which are too numerous to relate in one blog post, have molded me intricately into the person standing before you today. I believe that God has marked each of my steps and whether in a period of light or dark, all things work according to His purpose to bring me to an ultimately better place. I have been blessed with a few very distinct moments, when His work has been so clear and all the stars have aligned to explain why my path took me in a particular direction, that I have been in awe at His interest in the most minute details of my existence and grateful for all the trials and tribulations along the journey, because the end result was a joy unimaginable, far outweighing the turbulence. And that in a nutshell describes my heart. My faith. My passion for photography relates directly to my desire to freeze frame those moments of joy and real life in a clarity and creativity that comes from the wellspring of my faith in God and belief in His love for us and this beautiful world we live in.
I married my soul mate just under three years ago, and am still in awe that he looks at me like I am the only person on the planet. Me?! Really? Our meeting was fated in a number of ways and I think the depth of our love and our unique circumstances only add to my creativity as a wedding photographer. I am step-mommy to a most wonderful daughter, Emily, who just turned 9 years old. Our family is the biggest blessing I have known in my life and knowing Emily is intended for a greater purpose is thrilling. To be a part of bringing her up is an honor and marks one of those moments I mentioned before where God showed me how my life experiences were meant for her. How everything I went through was meant for her. So I could be the best parent to her that I can. Because He has big things in store for her. Emily has been through her own rough journey in her few years here, but she continues to be a light to all who know her, with a heart and spirit that can only be a marker of someone intended for greater things. I am excited to see what she does. Whatever it will be, she'll change the world. Emily adds a special spice to the warm place in my heart reserved for portraits of children. I love the idea of capturing youth and innocence with the knowledge that these little people will grow up to do great things. Sometimes it feels like getting somebody's autograph before they are famous. Every kid is special.
While I could go on for days about the scattered portions that are me, the final major piece of the puzzle that is Katy Blevins is that I am a perfectionist. I guess that is a nice way to say I have major OCD (obsessive/compulsive). I push myself hard and hold myself to a higher level of expectation than is realistic, and I have my whole life. While this could be my greatest flaw, it is also my greatest strength. Failure is not an option and I am able to reign in the eccentricities of being an artist with a critical understanding of order and composition. The best of both worlds! This best serves my clients in that I will work until you are happy. Which in my brain, is not when you say you're happy, but even beyond that, beyond what you could have imagined or hoped for. Because I am always grasping for the next highest rung. It is my ultimate goal for you to walk away from your time with me having intimately glimpsed your life in print and to know deeply that you are blessed. My dream is for my photos to serve as markers of the best times of your life and that you are able to come back to them time and time again and still be overwhelmed by the emotions of that moment every single time like it just happened yesterday. To relive the best parts of your life over and over again in the best way. That is my goal as your photographer. And that is what I am thinking about from behind the lens. You.

You never know what's going to come in the door during a Big Flea Shop N Drop. I was particularly intrigued by this roughly two-foot-square propane oven range. Made by Semer, a Brazilian appliance company long-ago absorbed into Brastemp, a mark now owned by Whirlpool, it's the cooking solution you never knew you needed. Some possible uses for this exotic appliance: Roast a chicken while camping! Enjoy a cup of tea without leaving your potting shed! (Might want to check local codes first.)
I have a hunch this item has great cultural currency and would love to hear about this range from anyone who's Brazilian or has lived there.

What is the function of rel2abs()?
On any page that is redirecting after writing to a database, this code is inserted as part of the block that handles the database write -
if (function_exists("rel2abs")) $WA_redirectURL = $WA_redirectURL?rel2abs($WA_redirectURL,dirname(__FILE__)):"";
Is that to make the redirection use an absolute link (as it should)?
header("Location: " . $whatever)
If so, it's not working for me. It always inserts some incomplete path that looks like $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] to me. It should be something beginning with "http://www.example.com/" shouldn't it? In most cases, my redirection is failing and I wind up just commenting out the block of code I put above.

observer variation
observer variation,
n the failure by the observer to measure or identify a phenomenon accurately, which results in an error. The observer may miss an abnormality or use faulty techniques, such as incorrect measurement or misinterpretation of the data. Two types are interobserver variation (the amount observers vary from one another when reporting on the same material) and intraobserver variation (the amount one observer varies between observations when reporting more than once on the same material).

Latest update October 18th, 2018 10:18 AM
Dec 18, 2013 Alice Home Decorations Comments Off on Make the Most of Your Tuscany Voyage This Christmas Season
If you want to celebrate your Christmas holidays in the most celebrated region of Italy, Tuscany will be the perfect choice. The cultivating lands, meadows and woodlands, the art cities and town, the rolling hills surrounded by pastoral stones and of course the exotic Tuscany villas are captivating enough to make you revisit the place time and again. Not to mention, large national parks, natural reserves for outdoor activities, the gorgeous seaside and the impressive ski mountains are just perfect for you and your family this Christmas season. Yes, Tuscany has it all.
The entire region is adorned with twinkling lights and Christmas decoration. Do not miss the magical sight of nativity plays and the sweet sound of Christmas music weaving through the cold air at night. Tuscany also knows how to celebrate Christmas in style especially when it comes to arranging for delicious festive culinary for you. You can surely enjoy delicious meal in any of the restaurants. However, do not forget to combine a few glasses of lovely mulled wine and cooked meats flavoured with spices and seasonal berries. Your meal would be incomplete without savouring the sweet Christmas pastries and chocolates as a perfectly satisfying dessert.
You will enjoy the walk around the magnificent attractions of the region which are enchantingly lit up at night. Tuscany has all sorts of attractions both for adults and children. The region provides flawless setting to recover some quality time that you do not get to spend as a family throughout the year. Thermal pool or the Saltalbero at Siena, hiking excursion, sightseeing tours or visit to theme parks are some of the best ways to spend time with your family.
The greatest characteristic of Tuscany is its small territory and art cities. Siena and Florence- Tuscany's main towns are one hour apart and the beach is only two hours away.Maremma, Pisa and Livorno are just one hour from Siena and Florence respectively. The region can be easily explored using public transportation if rented cars are not available.
One of the main attractions of Tuscany is music and art. Tuscany has a rich ancient and modern musical tradition. Florence is the main musical centre of Tuscany and has produced several musicians and composers including Pietro Mascagni and Giacomo Puccini. The region was at the heart of the Western musical tradition. It was Florentine Camerata in the mid-16th century that experimented with the tales of Greek mythology to music and staging resulted in first Opera and further the development of classical forms such as symphony. There are quite a few renowned musical centres in Tuscany including Arezzo, Lucca and Siena. If you are a music lover, you will certainly enjoy Tuscany.
Tuscany can offer you an endless list of art schools. Some of the main artistic centres include

More warriors ready for an adventure
In spite of having a cold, I mustered up the energy and will to finish off the three warriors. After some consideration, I decided to attempt a different skin colour scheme on the Pit Fighter. It is achieved with a mix of Dheneb Stone, grey, black and Elf Flesh. Though in what amounts, I cannot say. I just added colours and mixed it around until I achieved the desired colour.
We three
Almost finished putting together issue 4 of The Campaigner. And slightly ahead of schedule too!
Celebrated by making some progress on the three warriors I have been working on.
This is the first basic layers applied. Khemri Brown on first, most of it going onto the Wardancer. Then mixed black with a little grey and applied this to the Witch Hunter. Finally a thin layer of Elf Flesh onto all the skin areas.
Once those were dry, I could apply the next level of base colours. Firstly, another layer of Elf Flesh, to flatten out the tone. This was followed by Mithril Silver onto all the metal areas. Scab Red followed, picking out a few choice areas. Finally, I applied a layer of Dheneb Stone to areas I intend painting quite light colours, like the Wardancers hair.
That should be all the base colour painting done. Next I can move onto washes and highlights.
Slight warrior progress
This is more of an update post than anything, though some painting will appear in just a moment.
I have been hard at work putting together issue 4 of The Campaigner. I am especially eager for this to be something special, as it is the issue I will be hauling along with me to PAX Australia. It is really coming together nicely, and at 44 pages is the longest issue yet.
With that said, I pulled a half hour out of my schedule this weekend to make some slight progress with the Warhammer Quest miniatures. With the Wardancer, Pit Fighter and Witch Hunter undercoated black I applied a Bestial Brown first coat, as well as a grey to the base. At the moment I am still sorting the colours out in my head, especially with the Wardancer. It will be a challenge making him fit the dark red primary colour theme I have been utilising, while still having him look like a Wood Elf. However, I am looking forward to the challenge.
The Pit Fighter, the Wardancer and the Witch Hunter
Managed to slip some hobby time in this weekend, amazingly. Painting was out of the question, but preparing some models for eventual painting was certainly an option.
I have three metal Warhammer Quest Warrior Pack miniatures that I want to add to my Warhammer Quest set. These are the Pit Fighter, Wardancer and Witch Hunter. Two of these I could attach to the bases I sculpted earlier, which meant I just had to create an additional base.
Since I haven't bought some more Milliput I decided to go with the wood filler. This time I added more filler than I needed, with the idea that I could sand it back to the level I wanted. Once I had filled the base with wood filler I allowed it to dry for a couple of hours. This meant it was easier to manipulate the wood filler and create the details I needed.
The Pit Fighter and Wardancer went onto the two bases already created, and I prepared the Witch Hunter to go onto the new base. I drilled out both his feet and inserted pins, which I then pushed through the drying wood filler so create a guide for where the model was to go.
Once the wood filler was dry I sanded the top down to create a more even surface. When the pins were dry I glued the Witch Hunter to the base. I also glued the Pit Fighter and Wardancer to their bases. Once this dries I will undercoat them.
I am very happy with how the wood filler base came out. Making the base higher than I needed and sanding the top down worked well. It gives the base a more consistent look with the other bases from Back to Base-ix. Also, letting it dry a bit before creating the details made working with the wood filler a lot more manageable.
Once I pick up some more Milliput I will have to go through the Warrior Pack rules I have left and see who I can add next. I do not believe I have any more official models left, so the rest I will have to convert.
For the ancestors
Sat down and painted the Warhammer Quest Dwarf today. Took me three hours at the most, which is actually quite quick. But it all just came together really well. To be honest, I think the large areas of metal helped a bit.
With the other three Adventurers already painted, the groups actually looks quite impressive together. They all look really individual, but their unified colour scheme just ties them all together perfectly. I am now really excited to take these guys for a spin some time.
Warhammer Quest games of the past
Some more blasts from the past.
I ran a few Warhammer Quest campaigns in the early 2000s. Normally I would use the standard Warhammer Quest cardboard tiles, but on a couple of occasions I changed things up. In this case, I laid the playing area out more like a Warhammer battle, where the players could move a number of inches equal to their square movement. From memory, the players were escorting a caravan of carts which was ambushed. The warriors end up on a raft which docks at this abandoned town/encampment.
The players, and the characters they are playing, are:
- Brad is playing as a Warrior Priest called Sanchez.
- James is playing as a Barbarian called Aragorn.
- Jarryd is playing a Vampire called Count Cagliostro.
- This leaves Craig who must be playing the Elf Ranger, whose name I cannot discover.
I seem to recall that this campaign I introduced the diary mechanic. One of the players was in charge of a journal, and was responsible for recording the characters adventures. This was supposed to fulfil a number of roles. First, it meant that the players could read the journal to get some back story, rather than having to ask me the Gamemaster constantly where they were up too and what they were doing. It also allowed me to get a perspective on how the games were coming together from the player's side, since the could only record the information and events they had encountered. Where as I knew about every little aspect of the games and story, and occasionally forgot that the players didn't know all I knew.
And now some photos, taken with an ancient digital camera.
Quick goblins
If I ever need to prove my speed painting credentials, I think goblins are my choice of model.
I started the goblin archers today. It took me about only an hour to get all the base colours on.
And then about another hour to Bedab Black wash them and highlight them all.
As with the goblin spearmen, the black cloaks are a mix of black and brown highlighted with a mix of black and grey, to give them some tone.
All that is left with the current miniatures is the Dwarf adventurer. Then I have to sort out 12 Snotlings and 12 Giant Spiders.
Corridor Clanrats completed
Managed to find a couple of hours both Saturday and Sunday and finished the Warhammer Quest Clanrats off. Again, I am really pleased with how individual they look, but also how cohesive they are to not only each other, but the entire miniature set for Warhammer Quest as a whole. There are eight Clanrats sporting shields, not only Skaven but Chaos, Bretonnian and Empire as well.
For the record, the Clanrat with the horse skull on his back is also holding his Empire shield upside down. He might look important, but is obviously not the most observant of the crew.
Putting these guys together has given me an idea for a Skaven background piece. It would deal with how Clanrats like this exist in a quite small dungeon area with a host of other monsters and survive more than a day. Another project to add to the pile!
No bull
Finished off the rest of the Minotaurs today. The red cloth sections, wood, metal and bone are basically the same as on the rest of the other models. I couldn't, however, use the same cloth colours as on the other models, as this was already too close to the Minotaurs skin colour. So I used a lighter brown set, with Khemri Brown as the base and Dheneb Stone as the highlight colour. I also watered down some Blood Red and lightly washed this over parts of the weapons, the ends of the horns and the knuckles of the fists.
Since the lighting was so nice, I also took a picture of how the Warhammer Quest miniatures are shaping up.
Something to cow about
It has been hot here the last few days, reaching at least 40 and above. So of course, it is perfect weather for sitting in the shed and painting Minotaurs.
I did the base colours yesterday, where I could get out small amounts of paint and get though it that way. Then this morning I got up fairly early (extremely early, for a Sunday) and did the washes and skin highlights before it got too hot.
The skin is a base of Bestial Brown, with Snakebite Leather layered on top. This was all washed in Bedab Black, and then I used a mixture of Snakebite Leather and Dheneb Stone to highlight it.

Love your boards! I wish I could get into my classroom over the summer, but we're "locked out" until pre-planning :( I do love SchoolGirl style, and am trying to narrow all the colors in my room down to just a couple. It really makes a difference. I can't wait to see your room when you get it all done! :)ReplyDelete

I tried the same background and borders for this past year too and really liked the cohesive feel! We are fortunate to get some work done in our rooms over the summer too (although I have still have students currently for this year:). Reading the two comments above makes me realize just how fortunate we are! Thanks for linking up, friend!ReplyDelete

I love this look and am going to stick with a few colors as well. I love the layering of the borders.ReplyDelete

New York, Sperone Westwater, Enzo Cucchi, March 1983.
New York, Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum, Enzo Cucchi, 1986, p. 61 (illustrated).
Steeped in mystery and born of an occult spirituality, Barbarian Landscape draws from the pagan past and speaks to our modern anxieties. Enzo Cucchi cites influences as far reaching as Giotto and the Middle Ages, and as near as the Dada movement. Whichever aesthetic he summons from the past, however, he points towards the universal. "His work embraces a culture in which tradition, custom and taste are bonded to the very fabric of everyday life." (D. Waldman, Enzo Cucchi, New York, 1986, p. 17).
Barbarian Landscape is stripped of narrative and reduced to the essential, primordial elements of articulation. The work surpasses imitation, approaching that of a dark prophet. "Cucchi is the painter as seer, demon and saint, possessor and possessed, he is at once the creator and subject of his tale. He is the painter as mad visionary, participant in and witness to the nether world from which one can emerge after a ritual of fire and purification, to the realm of the sublime." (ibid, p. 27)
Cucchi's contribution to the neo-expressionist movement is clear in his violent, bravado brushstrokes, while the symbols of death and life-forces merge emotional expression with a pointed emphasis on communication, charging the work with a sense of urgency. An extremely limited palette, a strikingly high horizon line, and a disturbing perspectival distortion contribute to the devastation of Cucchi's novel wasteland.
Barbarian Landscape is not a depiction of our world, yet at the same time it is not beyond our recognition. "This is a realm of unrelenting blackness; yet the utter torment of the vision provides a catharsis, cleansing and purifying by acknowledging the existence of the forces of evil." (ibid, p. 24).

My Choice for Pre-Fall 2014
The best choice for SPRING 2014
For Spring, they imagined their girl on some sort of trip. Whether through the desert or on the beach wasn't clear, but one side of each model's outfit and half of her hairdo were plastered in sand, as if, perhaps, she fell asleep there, or rolled around with a lover. Either way, this was an evocative show. A long jersey wrap dress barely held in place by a grosgrain ribbon had a soigné glamour; same goes for other dresses that were clingy in back and draped asymmetrically from squares of fabric in front. Vandevorst and Arickx have a good sense of their own strengths
The Céline woman became more intriguing, though, in her embrace of a certain ragga style in the elongated string vest looks.The color palette had that late-eighties feel of something primary, urgent, graphic. Giant strokes and squiggles dominated in tailored T-shirt shapes over striped sunray pleats. At first, the Céline woman was like a Tony Viramontes illustration sprung to life. But what gave the clothes a real third dimension was the fabric experimentation; here, woven jacquards and knits dominated over prints and were beautifully done
Cotton crepe pantsuits and a coat were garment-printed to look as if a paint roller had been taken to the fabric, with only the seams and edges untouched—they were more elegant than that description sounds.The three-quarter-length hems of dresses, skirts, and cropped culottes might've looked droopy. But the designers mostly avoided those pitfalls. Meanwhile, pleats, which they began exploring in their Resort collection, got the couture treatment, bonded with razor-thin strips of silver and bronze foil. Proenza Schouler's rank among the best.
Doma started off with all-white looks in graphic lines. A cotton dress sliced diagonally down the front revealed the all-in-one underneath, while a horizontal vent on the back of a crisp sleeveless jacket exposed a flash of skin. Khaki dresses, meanwhile, were built from the elements of trenchcoats. Business as usual for Doma. But then came the polka dots. Printing them would've proved too heavy-handed, so instead he laser-cut them, adding a sense of feminine froth to everything from boxy linen T-shirts to skirts whipped up in silk plissé.
Doma done spring amazing, like no one can change the game like he.

Plus, my wife and I have rather proletarian tastes. We like Dirty Jobs. And Deadliest Catch. We're huge Mike Rowe fans. And we're not too proud to confess that we also like Ben Bailey on Cash Cab.
We also like "triple D" (Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives) on Food. And we like Monk, Burn Notice, In Plain Sight and Royal Pains. Yep, we go for the "trailer park" of TV--Discovery Channel and USA. (By the way, according to Newsweek, USA is the main profit generator for NBC). We're fans of My Name is Earl (well, the 1st year anyway) and we really like the new show on ABC Better off Ted.
The cast of "Better Off Ted"
Where else but on Discovery would guys like Sig Hansen, Phil Harris, Keith Coburn and Jonathan Hillstrand go from grubby, profane, cussing fishing boat captains to TV personalities with their own websites, merchandise and fan clubs? I love it! One of these days I'm going to put together some sort of post about the "management styles" of the captains and their relevance to business. Maybe it'll be the next "One Minute Manager", who knows.
The Captains of Deadliest Catch
Maybe this has something to do with the fact that I've been unemployed for 6 months now. But when I was working and traveling 80% of the time and staying in hotels 4 nights a week, I would watch these shows from the comfort of my Hampton Inn room at night.
Before I lose you from this diatribe, let me mess with your mind this week. Here's a YouTube video I came across last week. It's another of those that will get in your head like a broken record and drive you nuts. And, it's about the Discovery Channel. Here goes and I hope you hum it and hum it and finally have to give it away to someone else in order to clear it from your brain:

Lawyers might not be the most popular people, but they definitely serve a well-defined purpose in society. There may come a time when you find yourself in need of a qualified legal professional. The lawyer you pick out is the person that will help you to win a case, so you must select one in a wise way. Here is some good advice if you want to know how to work with and pick out a lawyer.
Everything you tell your lawyer has to be kept confidential. Your lawyer is not supposed to share anything you say, including things that would work against you in the context of your case.
Heed your lawyer's advice, but remember that he or she is your employee. Make sure to let them know if you aren't comfortable. Your lawyer will always have your best interests in mind, but you are one of many cases that they have.
If you are not completely comfortable with your attorney, keep looking. If you don't feel comfortable with the fee arrangement, don't hire the lawyer. Don't give any lawyer a blank check to apply to the retainer. Request an initial estimate as a means to help control costs before they escalate throughout the course of your matter.
Get recommendations from businesses for a good business lawyer. They may be able to share the name of a great attorney they had success with in the past. When dealing with a small business legal situation, talk to your financial adviser or accountant. These kinds of people speak with lawyers all the time and they can assist you in making a judgement.
Lawyers have been around for many years for one reason: society needs them. They can definitely help you if you're in need of their services. Let the tips here help you choose a wonderful lawyer that does exactly the job you need to have done, and good luck with your case!

I was on Aubagio, then stopped because of high blood pressure (being treated for that still). Had an aneurysm in 2015 and worry about that. Anyway, my new neurologist says Aubagio cannot cause that. Not from what I read. He wants me to start Tecfidera, or at least consider it. But I'm thinking, shouldn't Aubagio be removed completely from my system before starting anything else? Seems to me, it is still in my system if I still have the high blood pressure. I never had that before Aubagio. I'm afraid of starting something else with that still in me!
I always use the elimination protocol when stopping Aubagio. The protocol is cholestyramine 8g by mouth three times a day x 11 days. I also recommend checking a teriflunomide/leflunomide level after the elimination to ensure the Aubagio is effectively removed. Rarely, I have had to repeat the elimination protocol (in every case, the second round removed the Aubagio).

Course Information 1300 823 393
TAFE Western Orange College student Belinda Griffiths has been enrolled in the Certificate III Commercial Floristry course for less than five months, but has already made quite the impression.
And it's not just TAFE Western Floristry teacher Sarah Cox that has noticed Miss Griffiths' talents, with her mystery box floristry display at the recent Flower Growers Group of NSW Scholarship Competition at the Flower Markets in Sydney catching the eyes of an expert panel of judges.
Competing against more than 25 TAFE students from across NSW, Miss Griffiths was one of four lucky winners of a $2,500 scholarship, which she will use for further tuition and skill upgrades.
"I'm only new to floristry so winning this scholarship was totally unexpected," she said. "I was absolutely thrilled - it was very exciting."
Miss Cox was not surprised at the first year student's success, labelling Miss Griffiths a 'naturally gifted florist'.
"For someone to win such a big prize after only being involved in floristry for less than five months is an amazing achievement – it's quite inspiring," she said.
TAFE Western had three representatives at the Flower Growers Group of NSW Scholarship Competition in Sydney – with Miss Griffiths (Orange), Emilie Mammen (Bathurst) and Kylie Butler (Mudgee) joining forces to finish second in the teams competition against a quality field of nearly 10 teams.
"It was a great team effort and for students from such a small class to perform so well against much bigger colleges was a fantastic result," Miss Cox said.
A cake maker by trade, Miss Griffiths decided to dabble her hand in floristry because it was 'something she'd always wanted to try'.
"Floristry was definitely on my bucket list and I'm so glad I've given it a try, I've loved every minute of it," she said. "We have a wonderful teacher, the class is really enjoyable and we're learning new and exciting skills all the time.
"For anyone who has ever considered floristry, now's the time to get involved – you won't be disappointed."
For more information about TAFE Western's floristry courses, which include night classes, visit www.tafewestern.edu.au, phone Miss Cox on 0408 866 770 or email email@example.com

A Sudbury film producer's movie has been rolled out in 600 theatres in the United States. "The Masked Saint," filmed in Sault Ste. Marie in 2013, is also due to open in about 60 theatres in Canada on Jan. 22.
When contacted by NorthernLife.ca, a Cineplex spokesperson said the film will screen at SilverCity Sudbury, but said she can't confirm exactly when, as the schedule is still being finalized.
"It's the biggest-distributed film I've ever been involved in," said Hideaway Pictures CEO David Anselmo, the film's co-producer. "I don't know any other film done up north that's in that many theatres."
The Masked Saint directed by Warren Sinoda, tells the story of a professional wrestler and family man who becomes a small town pastor, and eventually a masked vigilante.
The faith-based movie stars 1980s WWF wrestler "Rowdy" Roddy Piper along with actors Brett Granstaff, Diahann Caroll and Patrick McKenna. It's Piper's last film. He passed away July 31, 2015.
"He cared about acting and he cared about wrestling," Anselmo said. "He got to be involved in this one final movie that was about wrestling. We're very proud to have had him in the movie. We were really saddened by losing him, because he was just a great guy."
Anselmo attended the film's American premiere in Nashville, Tenn., last week.
"It was great," he said. "We had a full house. We had all the cast come down to Nashville. It was a nice little reunion after shooting this movie a year and a half ago."

A MAN has been jailed for life after murdering his ex-girlfriend by repeatedly hitting her over the head with a slate souvenir from Snowdon.
Michael Furber, 34, yesterday admitted killing his former lover Patricia Owen because he could not cope with the ended relationship.
Furber, from The Butts Castlefields, Runcorn, had started stalking the mother-of-two, the Mold crown court heard.
Mrs Owen, 47, a cook and part time bar-maid from Runcorn, was attacked in the Brackley Street home she once shared with Furber on February 25.
She tried to make two 999 calls during the attack, but Furber smashed the mobile phone from her hands before hitting her with the piece of slate and strangling her with his bare hands.
Sentencing Furber to life imprisonment, Mr Justice Gibbs, said: "You carried out a terrible and brutal attack."

NI Commercial Property Investment Subdued in Q3View and download report
Headline-grabbing actions on Corporation Tax and the National Insurance 'jobs tax' materialised as expected. However, his silence on business rates took many by surprise. Business rates are crippling enterprise and warrant an urgent response from the Chancellor:
The Chancellor elected to keep his Budget message simple: 'Britain is open for business, offering one of the lowest corporation tax rates in the developed world'. Unfortunately, business rates are a complex area of taxation. Moreover, the competing claims, expectations and demands of ratepayers are irreconcilable in a Budget sound bite. Keen to keep his message simple and attractive to an inward-investing international audience, the Chancellor appears content to avoid the issue.
Business Secretary, Vince Cable, has made clear his intention to open up a debate on the future of business taxation. He has the dubious tax avoidance arrangements of international businesses in his sights. Yet, it is difficult to conceive of a wide-ranging consultation on business taxation which does not address property tax and the current system of business rates.
In such a consultation, business leaders and the representative associations of all sectors must seek to combine their resources and develop a coherent message. We believe reforms should be enacted including:

[Seminarreihe Regensburg] Evgenya Smirnova (Irkutsk): "The day-ahead energy market forecasting in Russian Federation"
05.04.2016 (13:30 - 15:00)
Am Dienstag, 5. April 2016, hält Evgenya Smirnova (Irkutsk State University) im Rahmen der Seminarreihe des Arbeitsbereichs Ökonomie am Institut für Ost- und Südosteuropaforschung (IOS) in Regensburg einen Vortrag zum Thema "The day-ahead energy market forecasting in Russian Federation: a case study of Siberia".
Zeit: 05.04.2016, 13:30–15:00 Uhr
Ort: IOS, Landshuter Str. 4, 93047 Regensburg, Raum 109
Abstract des Vortrags
Recent reforms in Russian power industry and the wholesale electric power and capacity market construction put energy companies into the new competitive conditions. Due to these reforms, the issues of price and quantity forecasting at the dayahead market (DAM) gain special importance. Particularly, the extrapolated values of the prices and quantities at DAM are necessary for the regulator, and also for energy companies to work out the best market strategy.
The current Russian wholesale electricity market represents a fundamentally new model of the electric power industry that functions on a competitive basis. The key role in the structure of the wholesale energy trading sector is played by the day-ahead electricity sector that provides up to the 80% of total electricity sales in the country. As a result of the auction clearing, the market price for all points in the supply of electricity is formed and the volume of the market is determined. There is also a need for forecasting the equilibrium price and quantity of electricity sales, which largely determine the strategies of generation companies from the perspective of the use of free electric powers. This paper proposes a method of construction of medium and long-term forecasting of the DAM's main characteristics. Our results that stem from the mathematical model and statistical data reveal the most significant factors and quantified their nature, their extent as well as their effect on the energy market of Siberia.

I'm very happy to welcome Ashley Hay to the blog today.
A guest at the Sydney Writers Festival thsi week, Ashley is also the author of four books of non-fiction, The Secret: The Strange Marriage of Annabella Milbanke and Lord Byron, Gum: The Story of Eucalypts and their Champions, and Herbarium and Museum with the visual artist Robyn Stacey.
Ashley's first novel, The Body in the Clouds was shortlisted for the Commonwealth Writers Prize 'Best First Book' (South-East Asia and Pacific region) and the NSW Premier's Literary Awards. Her new novel is The Railwayman's Wife.
Ashley is appearing at the following session at the Sydney Writers Festival:• Ashley Hay: When 'Where' Becomes 'Who'
• A Character Called Place
• On Craft: The Oral Tradition
• Ashley Hay's Pep Session: Dodging the Dumps, the Blocks, Black Holes and Dead Ends
• Stella Prize Trivia
• The Art and Pleasure of Reading
What is your latest novel all about?
My husband says "The Railwayman's Wife" is about love and loss, people and place - and I like that description.
How did you get the first idea for it?
I borrowed an accident and a recompense from my father's life and asked if he'd mind if I imagined a novel from them. My father's father was killed in a railway accident; my father's mother became a railway librarian after that. I heard my father talking about the job she'd had in the small library in which she'd worked - quite a few years ago now - and as he spoke, a train surged along the tracks just outside the window. It had never occurred to me before that this job that she'd taken on when she became a widow had made her work so closely to the sound of the thing that had killed her husband. I think that was when I started imagining the story.
What do you love most about writing?
I love the moments when you can feel a new series of sentences unfolding, somehow just ahead of your imagination. And I love stories - I don't think I'm much of an oral story-teller, but I love working with the shapes and sounds of words on a page.
What are the best 5 books you've read recently?
Richard Powers' Generosity
Krissy Kneen's Steeplechase
Stephen Edgar's new book of poems, Eldershaw
Amy Espeseth's Sufficient Grace
Amy Espeseth's Sufficient Grace
and I've just re-read Annie Dillard's The Writing Life, which is always wonderful.
I'm working on another draft of a new novel, which I think is about Brisbane, and doppelgangers, and the tendrils that run out from the options we didn't choose.
What lies ahead of you in the next year?
I'm working on another draft of a new novel, which I think is about Brisbane, and doppelgangers, and the tendrils that run out from the options we didn't choose.

We have a special friend who lives in Bailey Canyon in Sierra Madre. His name is Stiple. He is an elf who rides a raft that he made of found sticks bound together with a tough stalk of grass. He likes to journey down creeks swollen by rains, which have been plenty lately.
My youngest, still obsessed with all things pirate, decided Stiple could use a cutlass, some swords, a bottle and a cup and saucer. Sculpey was pulled out and these fine pieces were made and fired in the oven.
On a recent hike, my sons and I built a home for Stiple equipped with sticks in the fireplace to warm him after his river run.
This morning, I awoke to see my oldest son and Eric have added to Stiple's Sculpey collection with a torch, a spoon, knife, sack of wheat and a "torch sword that you can use to burn your enemy's cake".

Charging Penalties: establishing penalty behaviour: examples of deliberate behaviour: small business - income tax - example 1
The example below shows deliberate behaviour where a taxi driver did not account for all his takings and filed an incorrect return.
During a compliance check on a taxi driver who claimed to have banked all of his net takings, the caseworker identified clear discrepancies between the records of daily takings, expenses and the amounts paid into the business account. Using business economics he established that approximately £8,000 of the taxi driver's takings had not gone through the books. This calculation was based on the mileage shown on the taxi's MOT certificates after taking account of private mileage and unengaged mileage.
The taxi driver accepted the caseworker's figures but gave the following explanation for the inaccuracy.
He had kept a cash float of about £300 on his person for several years for petrol, emergency repairs and as a general safeguard. Sometimes he would lend some of the float to colleagues in the taxi office, but he was not certain if he got all of it back. Because he was so busy at the time he must have forgotten to record the fares he had used to top up the float. He agreed he needed to take more care about his record keeping and have a proper routine rather than completing his books when he could find time at the end of the day.
Based on this explanation alone the inaccuracy appeared to be careless, being the result of poor (careless) record keeping. Before the caseworker accepted this explanation he tested it further to consider if it really was tenable. The caseworker requested the taxi driver's and his wife's joint private bank statements. There were no savings or credit card statements. There were no deposits that could not be accounted for or which did not match the record of drawings transferred from the business account. The taxi driver's wife was paid monthly wages by a company called KTS.
However, the caseworker identified a pattern of periods when no cash was withdrawn from the bank to fund any cash expenditure and recognised that this could indicate that cash might have been knowingly taken from unrecorded receipts, rather than having been carelessly unrecorded. Consequently the caseworker asked the taxi driver the following questions.
|What expenditures were paid out of the float, but not recorded?
|He was not certain because the receipts were lost, though it was probably petrol.
|When he lent money, was the float topped up straight away?
|Yes, but this was taken from recorded takings.
|What did he do with the money when the debt was repaid?
|He put it back in the float.
|What if this took the float above £300, what did he do then?
|He could not remember but thought he must have put the balance back with the takings.
|Which colleagues did he lend money to, how often, how much and how long for? Why did he lend the money out of the float and not out of recorded takings?
|He could not remember and kept no records of what he lent. There was no particular reason why he lent money from the float.
|Did he or his wife have any other sources of income?
|Who did the main shopping? When was it done and how was it paid for?
|His wife did the shopping. She did a big shop every Friday. He did not know how she paid for it.
|Why were there periods, some being more than 2 weeks, when no cash was withdrawn? How did his wife pay for the shopping when she did not have a credit card and there were no debit card transactions from supermarkets on the bank statements?
|He did not know.
The caseworker put the following facts to the taxi driver.
There was no evidence to corroborate that the float was used in the way that had been described or that it was topped up on a regular basis from takings, whether they were recorded or not. Crucially, insufficient cash had been withdrawn from the bank to pay for the weekly shopping: a non-business cash flow test showed negative cash every Friday. With no other identified sources of income the shortfall could have come only from unrecorded takings.
The caseworker stated that on this basis the taxi driver's explanation was not correct. The taxi driver was asked if he could offer any other explanation. He was not able to offer any. The caseworker explained that having established that the return understated profit by around £8,000 he had to decide the behaviour underlying that inaccuracy; that is whether on the balance of probabilities and the available evidence, the taxi driver had submitted an inaccurate return
- despite having taken reasonable care to get it right
- as a result of carelessness or
- knowing the return was not accurate (whether or not he knew what the true figure of profit was).
The caseworker asked the taxi driver whether the inaccuracy was deliberate but the taxi driver did not accept this. The caseworker explained his conclusion - that from the available evidence and on the balance of probabilities the funding of personal expenditure with unrecorded takings was a regular and planned arrangement. This was not the accidental result of poor cash management. Consequently, because the taxi driver had known that not all of his takings had been recorded, he must also have known that his return was inaccurate. Delivering a return which he knew to be inaccurate is deliberate behaviour.
Learning Points
- Test explanations, either by obtaining further documentary evidence or careful questioning, or both.
- After challenging a person's explanations always allow them the opportunity to provide further information.
- In the absence of any other reliable explanation, it would be reasonable to conclude that shortfalls in declared income for private expenses came from undeclared business takings.
- You must make your decision on the behaviour based on the evidence you have been able to obtain.

Krol Chair of Moral Theology
The John Cardinal Krol Chair of Moral Theology was founded by His Eminence Anthony Cardinal Bevilacqua in January of 1990. The Krol Chair, named in honor of a great churchman who clearly and unwaveringly proclaimed the moral demands of Christian life, was established to enhance the Seminary's efforts to promote a better understanding, appreciation and acceptance of Catholic moral teaching.
Through teaching, lectures, symposiums, workshops and publications, the Krol Chair contributes to the seminary's primary mission of preparing men for pastoral service as ordained priests and to its secondary mission of educational outreach to the broader Church community. In these ways, the Krol Chair augments the theological enterprise of the seminary and directly responds to the Second Vatican Council's charge that: "...special care be given to the perfecting of Moral Theology. Its scientific exposition, more deeply rooted in Sacred Scripture, is to illustrate the eminent vocation that the faithful have in Christ and the obligation they have to bear fruit in charity for the life of the world" (The Decree on Priestly Formation, 16).
The previous holder of the Krol Chair was Rev. Dennis J. Billy, C.Ss.R. A Redemptorist priest of the Baltimore Province, Father Billy was professor of the history of moral theology and Christian spirituality at the Alphonsian Academy of Rome's Pontifical Lateran University for more than 20 years. He assumed the responsibilities of the Krol Chair in the summer of 2008.

ISIS advises followers in West: Shave beards, pretend to be Christian before conducting attacks.
ISIS advises followers in West: Shave beards, pretend to be Christian before conducting attacks. (ARANews).
The extremist group of Islamic State (ISIS) urged its followers in the West to pretend to be Christians before carrying out terrorist attacks.
The group released a new 58-page terror pamphlet titled "Safety and Security Guidelines for Lone Wolf Mujahideen", instructing its adherents on how to "bring victory to Islam".
"We present you this modest work for lone wolf Mujahideen and small cells of brothers who want to bring victory to this religion. This is originally a series of lecture in 30 parts by Aby Abdallah al-Adam (rahimahullah) about safety & security in Jihadi work. It was initially meant for Mujahideen groups (organizations) and not lone wolves, but we have tried to adapt it and pick what's important and leave what's not relevant for an individual Mujahid and small groups," the pamphlet's intro reads.
The Islamic State provides in its new release suggestions for Western terrorists, including shaving beards, forgoing religious clothing and wearing crucifix necklaces.
"It is permissible in such cases for you to wear a necklace showing a Christian cross," the radical group advises its followers in the West. "As you know, Christians (or even atheist Westerners with Christian background) wear crosses on their necklaces. But don't wear a cross necklace if you have a Muslim name on your passport, as that may look strange." Read the full story here.
