Director Greg McLean (WOLF CREEK, THE DARKNESS) is a busy man, but our very own JimmyO managed to snag a second of his time to sit down and talk about some of his upcoming projects. The first topic of conversation was the future of the WOLF CREEK franchise, which recently was reincarnated into a mini-series also starring the inimitable John Jarratt as Mick Taylor.
Are you looking at going into WOLF CREEK 3 soon and will it tie in with the series?
The series will probably be the first. You know, we'll do another Wolf Creek series and then the movie will be probably later after that.
What can we expect with Wolf Creek season two?
It's still under wraps, and I can't say too much about it. You can expect much more Mick and you can expect a much bigger body count. It takes the set up of the first season and spins it on its head again.
High body counts will always get me in the door, I can tell you that. It will be interesting to see how they manage both a film franchise and a TV series more or less concurrently, because I don't think a multimedia experiment of this scale has ever really happened in the horror genre.
They also went on to talk a bit about McLean's upcoming survival flick JUNGLE:
What can you share when it comes to the upcoming JUNGLE?
It's based on a book, so it's an autobiography about a guy that the situation really happened to. In 1981, an Israeli backpacker named Yossi Ghinsberg was backpacking in Bolivia in South America. He met up with two friends, an American and a Swiss guy who are traveling together. They met a German guide who is a jungle guide, and he offered them a three week trip into the jungle to go on the trip of a lifetime, and go see tribes and pan for gold and all that kind of stuff. And the story that happened is one of those incredible kind of survival tales. It all went totally wrong. And basically Yossi (Daniel Radcliffe) survived in the jungle for twenty days by himself with nothing. So it's an incredible survival story, and incredibly emotional and spiritual because of what he goes through, what he loses and what he discovers. It's an amazing story. And Daniel's performance is extraordinary.
You are drifting a little away from horror with this.
It's really just a true life story. Just a true life, amazing, inspiring story. It has some thriller elements to it because of the question of is he or isn't he going to survive, so it's not really scary. It's a telling of an extraordinary event.
JUNGLE also stars Thomas Kretschmann, Alex Russell, Joel Jackson, and Yasmin Kassim. It will arrive in 2017.

New York, NY -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/14/2017 -- While more than 10% of Americans work in the nonprofit sector, leadership gurus mostly ignore them. Traditional sources of information about leadership, like schools, and online resources like Wikipedia and Google, simply don't have the content to help today's nonprofit leaders excel, leaving most of them to learn from first-hand experience. That's why Vivien Hoexter and Linda C. Hartley, principals of H2Growth Strategies, decided to research nonprofit leadership. They interviewed 47 top nonprofit change-makers from organizations such as the Rockefeller Brothers Fund, Ford Foundation, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, Goodwill Industries International, Share Our Strength, Nature Conservancy, Bank Street College of Education and PBS, about what distinguishes nonprofit leadership from for-profit leadership.
One of the unexpected findings is that over 20% of the leaders interviewed chose to work in the nonprofit sector because of personal tragedies early in life. They learned empathy and emotional intelligence from having a sibling with serious developmental disabilities or experiencing the foster care system firsthand. And they chose to dedicate their lives to transforming society to work better for all people. Although it is not necessary to experience a tragedy to make a successful career in the sector, this finding does shed light on a key characteristic of nonprofit leaders.
To find out more about the insights these 47 top nonprofit leaders shared on leading the sector in the next decade, you might want to pick up Hoexter & Hartley's new book, Big Impact: Insights & Stories From America's Non-Profit Leaders. Big Impact is about nonprofit game-changers who have found solutions to some of the world's greatest, most vexing societal problems. The book explores how these change-makers are implementing solutions in their communities, across the United States, and around the world.
About H2Growth Strategies LLC
H2Growth Strategies LLC advises nonprofits and foundations on planning, fundraising and board building. Principals Hartley and Hoexter have over 40 years of experience in leadership roles and as consultants to nonprofits. They have partnered with over 100 organizations to raise more than $1.5 billion. Both have MBAs from top schools. Hartley attended the Stern School at New York University, and Hoexter went to the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

Yes, it's probably not core business and/or economic research. But following the true BERL ethos of Making Sense of the Numbers we comment as below.
A simple comparison of votes between the 2014 and 2017 elections as per the chart below can be spun by either National or Labour operatives as positive.
National gained more than 20,500 votes, which after 9 years in government and gunning for a rare 4th term is pretty impressive.
Labour gained more than 351,000 votes, which for a leader of only 7 weeks standing is also pretty impressive.
However, there are buts for both cases.
In Labour's case, the impressiveness pales when considering the starting point - beginning from a miserable 604,000 (just on 25%) votes, any increase was going to look impressive. In addition, some of this came through the reduction in the Green's vote - so really can't be counted as an unambiguous addition to their camp.
Similarly, for the National's case the outcome is more nuanced, as there are reductions in ACT and Conservative votes that need to be factored into the equation.
The 'new' votes
But, firstly, we need to note and allow for the increase in the total number of votes (of about 186,000) between 2014 and 2017.
So, how to proceed? True to our upbringing as economists, we make some assumptions and then see how the story pans out.
For starters, we assume that the 186,000 extra - or 'new' - votes were split between the parties according to the shares for the 2017 Special votes then we get the following table. The justification for this assumption is that many 'new' votes would have been from voters who registered late. Hence these are likely to have voted more in line with 'Specials' than the overall vote.
As the table shows, this suggests that the comparable vote gain for Labour is a more muted, but arguably still impressive 272,000. But, we should also subtract the 110,000 comparable loss in Green Party vote.
In contrast, the comparable vote movement for National between 2014 and 2017 is a loss of more than 47,000 votes. This performance is exacerbated by the loss of more than 94,000 Conservative Party and ACT Party votes.
The 'true gains'
Overall, therefore
- 'true' gain for Labour-Green camp = 162,000
- 'true' loss for National-ACT-Conservative camp = 141,000
If, we assumed that the 186,000 additional 'new' votes were split according to the overall vote share (instead of by the share of Specials), then the above numbers become larger.
- 'true' gain for Labour-Green camp = 176,000
- 'true' loss for National-ACT-Conservative camp = 157,000
Either way, irrespective of assumption, this election resulted a significant loss in votes (compared to 2014) for the National-ACT-Conservative camp; and a significant gain for the Labour-Green camp. Progressing further gets, admittedly, murkier.
Reverting to our original assumption, we note the loss (totalling about 77,000) in NZ First, Māori, Internet-Mana Party, United Future and 'other' party votes. Where did these go? And then there is the new TOP vote to consider. Where did these come from?
More assumptions
No doubt, students of political science will be able for comment from a more informed position. But, here are some primitive assumptions to progress the narrative.
- the reduction in Māori party votes are gained by Labour
- the reduction in United Future party votes are gained by National
- the reduction in New Zealand First votes are gained, in proportionate shares, by National and Labour
- the reduction in Internet Mana party votes are gained by TOP
- the remainder of the TOP party vote comes proportionately from National and Labour
- half of the reduction in 'other' party votes are gained by TOP, with the remainder gained in proportionate shares by National and Labour.
The end result
The full list of changes by Party between 2014 and 2017 under these assumptions is provided here. The consequential narrative is that
- National's gain of 20,500 votes was made up of
- gaining 67,600 from 'new' voters
- gaining 94,300 from ACT and Conservative
- gaining 3,600 from United Future
- gaining 17,500 from NZ First
- gaining 1,700 from 'other' parties
- losing 12,400 to TOP
- losing 152,000 to Labour
- Labour's gain of 352,000 votes was made up of
- gaining 79,300 from 'new' voters
- gaining 110,600 from Greens
- gaining 14,500 from NZ First
- gaining 1,700 from 'other' parties
- losing 10,300 to TOP
- gaining 152,000 from National
Changes to the assumptions, of course, have the potential to change the narrative.
But, making sense of the numbers suggests - after allowing for 'new' voters and controlling for shifts within each of the 'left' and 'right' camps - there was a significant shift in the number of voters from National to Labour.

OK I don't normally do book reviews (well, never have before…) but I just finished a fun book that I have to recommend – especially if you are into the history of rock and roll and also a lover of crime novels – which is right up my alley. The book is called "Blues Highway Blues" and is written by Eyre Price. (Caveat: it is R-rated, but the course language is not excessive – but yes, prevalent; and the few instances of violence are – can I say over-the-top ala Quetin Tarantino – but again, these scenes are far and few between…)
This is Price's debut novel and his voice is fun to read. His similes come rapid fire like a machine gun in an old combat movie. The story revolves around a washed-up music producer who gets in over-his-head with a Russian mobster who has agreed to finance his television pilot idea – which bombs like a metal balloon (led zeppelin???) Said Russian mobster wants his money back, and although our music producer has it stashed and can repay – it is stolen from his safe and in its place is the first of many CD musical clues that leads him (and the two hit men hot on his trail) on a cross-country journey. The travels have them visiting the many places of legendary significance in the history of contemporary music (Memphis, Chicago, Detroit, New Orleans, Seattle, to name a few…) Add to the mix a maniacal motorcycle club also in pursuit, plus the FBI and your usual (unusual?) local police department, and you have a page-turning, slam-banging fun ride around the country. I devoured this book in half the time I normally take to read one. I highly recommend "Blues Highway Blues."
I kinda prefer Key West, Florida. What is your favorite musical destination?

Prep: 10 minutes (45 if you chill your meatballs, which I did not do)
Cooking time: 8 minutes
Any recipe with "on a stick"in the title, has got to be good in my books. Especially in the summer. And doesn't meatballs on a stick just spell "festive" to you, on this, my country's birthday? (For my American friends, today celebrates the July 1, 1867 enactment of the British North American Act (today called the Constitution Act, 1867), which united two British colonies and a province of the British Empire into a single country called Canada - our equivalent of the fourth of July). Must be some throw back to a childhood memory of corndogs at a fair or something. Speaking of which, the Calgary Stampede (the self-proclaimed "greatest outdoor show on earth") gets underway July 9th, so really, meatballs on a stick could not be more appropriate. And for no other reason, these meatballs are just plain fun and make a great appetizer.
What you'll need:
- 3/4 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/3 C bread crumbs
- 3 Tbsp whole milk
- 3 Tbsp finely chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg, beaten
- 2 tsp dijon mustard (I didn't have any, so substituted 1 tsp of mustard powder)
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tsp kosher salt (I just used sea salt - maybe it's the same thing?)
- 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 tsp tabasco sauce
- extra virgin olive oil
- 1/3 C ketchup
- 2 Tbsp mayonnaise
- 1/2 tsp red wine vinegar
- 1/8 tsp kosher salt (or sea salt if you're me)
In a medium bowl, combine the meatball ingredients. Using your hands (yay!), gently mix until the ingredients are evenly distributed.
Wet your hands with cold water and shape the meat into balls, ~1 inch in diameter. Try not to overwork the meat. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for about 45 minutes or until very cold (anyone know why? I didn't do this step since I pick recipes last minute and they cooked fine and tasted great to me).
To make the sauce, whisk together in a small bowl the sauce ingredients.
Lightly brush or spray the meatballs with oil. Grill over direct high heat until the meat is cooked but not dry (6 to 8 minutes), gently turning occasionally with tongs. Arrange the meatballs on a platter with toothpicks. Serve warm with the sauce. Makes 25 - 30 small meatballs.

Sea Change! The tantalizingly simple nigiri plate at Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa.
You might have a taste for the yellowtail jalapeño sashimi at Matsuhisa or the oh-so-cool club ambiance at Katsuya by Starck, but no sushi chef has had a bigger impact on LA's sushi culture than Kazunori Nozawa.
Although his Studio City hole-in-the-wall sushi mecca, Sushi Nozawa, shuttered in 2012, his legacy lives on in the laid-back but upscale Sugarfish by Sushi Nozawa restaurant chain (it opened its sixth location in April, in Beverly Hills), which Nozawa and his son, Tom—along with the rest of the Sugarfish team—operate with the chef's unwavering focus on freshness, simplicity, and respect for Japanese cuisine: the "trust me" principle.
When Nozawa first opened his restaurant on an unassuming block in the Valley in 1987, his approach to sushi was radical. "Nozawa emphasized simplicity everywhere," says Emanuele Massimini, a partner in Sugarfish and co-head of operations. "He believed that simple is better, and it's a belief we all share—in the purity of flavors and the mastery behind the presentation." That meant no California rolls or spicy tuna on crispy rice, at the time a hard sell to LA diners, who equated sushi with such ersatz preparations. Eventually Nozawa's philosophy developed a cult following and forever changed Angelenos' perception of this once-rarefied cuisine.
According to Massimini, simple ingredients and four culinary pillars underlie Nozawa's take on sushi. The first is the extremely high-quality fish he hand-selects early every morning from trusted vendors at the Downtown LA fish market. The second, perhaps Nozawa's true hallmark, is his rice: Instead of densely packed and cold, it's served warm, slightly loose, and laced with his secret white-vinegar recipe—all of which has been (poorly) imitated at restaurants around the world. Then comes the nori, which is specially harvested from deep waters off the coast of Japan, giving his rolls a fresh, crispy bite. The final part of the recipe is the array of sauces that Nozawa pairs with each fish he serves to set off its flavors.
But what also sets Sugarfish apart from other sushi restaurants in LA is that, although its fish and seafood are among the best of the best in town, you could eat here every day of the week without breaking your budget—and some people do, including David Katzenberg (a regular of the Brentwood location), Jeff Goldblum, and countless other A-listers, such as Reese Witherspoon, Kate Hudson, and Jack Black.
Despite his strict interpretation of "trust the chef," omakase-style service, as well as his famously fiery temper (in some circles he has been called the "Sushi Nazi"—don't bring it up with Charlize Theron, who was once thrown out of the Studio City restaurant!), Nozawa has developed a clutch of fans that remain loyal to this day.
Like the other locations, the new Sugarfish Beverly Hills does not take reservations. However, it does feature an outdoor patio and a wine and sake bar for diners waiting for a table. And then there's the singular restaurant-within-a-restaurant called the Nozawa Bar, where 10 people at a time can enjoy a more exotic omakase meal prepared by Nozawa and his protégé, Fujita.
New location, new concept, same great sushi. 212 N. Canon Dr., Beverly Hills, 310-276-6900

UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon has called on Israel to offer "goodwill gestures" to Palestinians to get the deadlocked peace talks back on track.
After talks with President Shimon Peres in Jerusalem, Mr Ban said the Israeli government needed to co-operate in "creating a positive dynamic".
A month of "exploratory talks" ended last week without any breakthroughs.
Negotiations on a two-state solution stalled in late 2010 after a dispute over Jewish settlement construction.
About 500,000 Jews live in more than 100 settlements built since Israel's 1967 occupation of the West Bank and East Jerusalem.
The settlements are considered illegal under international law, though Israel disputes this.
'Critical moment
They should refrain from further settlement for the sake of ongoing peace talks"
Ban Ki-moon UN Secretary General
Mr Ban is attending a series of meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders in an effort to persuade them to resume the exploratory talks.
The Quartet of Middle East peace mediators – the US, UN, EU and Russia – said last year that they expected both sides to use the talks to submit detailed proposals on borders and security arrangements, in the hope that the dialogue would encourage direct peace talks.
But last week Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas said they had concluded without any progress.
He said the Palestinians had made proposals, but that the Israelis had not.
Israeli officials said they had submitted a document outlining areas to be discussed, but did not describe it as a proposal. They also insisted that the deadline for the proposals was in April.
"Israel's co-operation in creating a positive dynamic is vital," Mr Ban told reporters after meeting President Peres. "I hope that these talks can be sustained."
"We are at a critical moment for Israel and the region."
Mr Ban said the Israeli authorities' support of continued settlement expansion did "not help the ongoing peace process".
"They should refrain from further settlement [building] for the sake of ongoing peace talks. This can be a way of expressing goodwill gestures."
The UN chief later held talks with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who said the question of settlements "should be part of the final peace talks".
Mr Netanyahu nevertheless said he recognised that there had "to be an agreement, probably a painful agreement for us given our passion for these historic lands".
But he complained the "real cause of this conflict" was the Palestinians' refusal to recognise Israel as the homeland of the Jewish people.

The fully offset doc fix bill (H.R. 3962) would prevent a scheduled cut in Medicare reimbursements to physicians from occurring until at least Nov. 30. The bill also provides for pension funding relief for single employer and multiemployer pension plans that experienced large losses in asset values during 2008. Employers that opt out of requirements to pay more into their pension funds to offset losses would still have to make additional contributions if they pay compensation to any employee in excess of $1 million, according to a Finance Committee summary.

Wifi Remote
We are running a Palette VL with the Wifi PDA remote. If I start modding something in blind mode on the desk, I stop the remote from working. I can't remember if this happened on the 5 series, but it would be helpful if I could work in blind mode while other people are using remote focus. Also if I am working on a VL shutter shape, for example, and somebody calls up a channel on the remote, they cancel my control of the moving light and I have to reacquire it, which presumably then overrides the channel on the remote. This can get quite frustrating for all concerned as it escalates to all out war.
Re: Wifi Remote
It has been mentioned before that one of the issues with the RFU is that it it does not exist as a separate user when it interacts with the console. The powers that be have said that is one of the issues that will be addressed in the next update of the RFU.

The simple model that works right now is many pieces of hardware (faceplates, RFUs, remotes), but only one human. Clearly a shortcoming that will be addressed in the future.

In reply to S Nairn (News Guardian, June 4), it is incorrect to say that campaigners wishing to save the Central Lower Promenade are 'just complaining'.
The overwhelming number of those we spoke to while petitioning on the streets of Whitley Bay did not simply say what they didn't want - they stated clearly that what they wanted was a like-for-like restoration of the units on the promenade in order to bring some life and activity back into the seafront area of our town centre.
We have seen the engineer's report from 2011 on which the council based its decision. It considers the proposed grass slope to be the least acceptable option and recommends retention and restoration of the lower promenade and its retail units.
The Central Lower Promenade is a potential asset and should be restored and exploited commercially, as suggested in the engineer's report. Other places have managed to recover badly neglected property and turn it to good account. Why not Whitley Bay?
How would a town council help? We are currently looking into this and were invited to visit the Mayor of Bridlington, where they have a town council within the East Riding of Yorkshire unitary authority, on a (no-expenses-paid) fact-finding mission.
We understand that one thing a local council can offer is more effective local consultation and greater local control over planning decisions affecting the local area.
Bridlington has done great things with its seafront since having its own council.
Please do not sneer at sincere efforts to rescue and revive the promenade at the very heart of our seafront by people who love this town.
This is not a 'petty action to delay redevelopment'. We are all in favour of positive development rather than the defeatist option of yet another grassy slope – as if Whitley Bay didn't have enough already!
You speak sadly of the present state of our town. Have you asked yourself who is responsible for all this 'unsavoury' and 'unpleasant' dereliction? Certainly not the residents, who have been faithfully paying their taxes to North Tyneside Council for the past 40 years in the expectation that the 'public servants' at Cobalt will equally faithfully discharge their duties of maintenance and repair
Instead, our distant unitary authority has presided over the steady disintegration of Whitley Bay's amenities and basic infrastructure.
Rather than respecting and caring for our local heritage assets, keeping pavements in good repair, and regularly painting the railings along the seafront, it has chosen to waste what little money it feels can be spared for Whitley Bay on such things as demolishing and building schools in the seafront area, inappropriately relocating a small section of the main coast road at a cost of £1.8m and constructing a windswept and dangerous 'plaza' for another £1.2m: £3m which would have been more than enough to cover the alleged difference in cost between the grass-bank option and full restoration of the lower promenade and its units when these were first found to be in dire need of attention back in 2004.
The Central Promenade is not just an isolated building like the Avenue or the High Point, which may be replaced without detracting significantly from their surroundings. Along with Grant's Clock, the Rex Hotel and the Dome, the promenade, with its distinctive (and low-maintenance) balustrade, is part of the essential fabric of our town, and its loss would cut through links with the past while needlessly denying future possibilities.
Over recent decades, North Tyneside has wiped millions off the value of Whitley Bay's capital assets through sheer dereliction of duty.
It is only right it should make good at least a small part of this depreciation by fully restoring a well-loved public amenity which it has allowed to fall into disrepair.
By urging us to accept the decision to demolish the promenade as the least-worst option, you are encouraging the council not only to persist in its culpable neglect of our infrastructure but to continue in the assumption that when any structure, however significant, has become obtrusively decrepit it can conveniently be knocked down.

Sock Monkey!
Remember Sock Monkey's? Me too. Loved them then and love them now. This whimsical sock monkey tote is 14" x 14" and is lined with a coordinating red and white check. It has plenty of internal pockets and could even be used as a diaper bag.
Both sides of the bag have sock monkey squares dancing across the middle. The top and bottom of the bag have a sturdy denim material. The handles are pieced together using coordinating red and white polka dots.
Seriously, how could you have a bad day when carrying the Sock Monkey?
Sock Monkey is $50.00.

Parts and Mazda 5 Accessories
Things You Would Find Most Interesting about the Mazda5
The Mazda5 redefines the meaning of family transportation. Unlike other car models that have two-row seating, the six-passenger Mazda5's seating is spread out in three rows for maximum elbowroom. With a two-seat per row layout, passengers are given ample space to move about, ensuring an ultra-comfortable riding experience.
Even with the second row in use and the third row folded down, there are still 44 cubic feet of cargo capacity available.
The compact MPV (multi-purpose vehicle) Mazda Premacy's second generation vehicle, manufactured from 2005 to 2010, is sold outside Japan as the Mazda5. It is based on Ford's global C1 platform (for compact class), meaning Mazda5 parts and components are 60 percent similar to the auto parts of Ford Focus, Volvo S40, Volvo V50, Volvo C30, and Mazda3.
Mazda5 has a Nagare-which translates to flow-design, and the Mazda5, along with the Mazda3 and the refreshed Miata, has been penned as a single bead of water with ripples intentionally left on the surface, such that the body's lines express the flow of motion. You can see the embodiment of Nagare most specifically in Mazda5's body side panels. A recognizable execution of the Nagare theme is the sweeping front wheel well sheet metal that twists beyond the minivan's sliding doors.
The flow effect breaks up the swaths of sheet metal, turning the body into a point of visual interest. It creates three creased lines that flow along the side of the vehicle and hide parking lot dings. Mazda, the fifth-largest Japanese automaker, has queued up more Nagare design up front, with an expressive and elegantly stamped hood that flows nicely into Mazda5's happy face grille.
Yes, Mazda5 has that smiley-faced look, making the car seem perpetually happy.
The Mazda5 has been immortalized in stamp form, released by the Japan Post Network Chugoke Regional Office under a limited-edition 12-stamp collection set officially titled History of Mazda Motor Corp. Hiroshima in November 1, 2010. Aside from the Mazda5, images on the stamp ranged from past icons such as the 1950 Mazda-Go three-wheeled truck to modern ones like the MX-5.
The 2012 year model Mazda5 accessories and looks are inspired from the Hyundai I20. The Mazda5's wide smile, like the Hyundai I20's face grin, is cut by Halloween-shaped pumpkin teeth. The Mazda5 has a front apron and side skirts all around it, ensuring that it maintains its sporty overture, like the Honda Odyssey.
While some call this model as a mini minivan, it is actually longer than the first Dodge Caravan that launched the segment.

Two Concerns Individuals Do Certainly Not Understand In Connection With LASIK Eye Medical ProceduresThe eye can be analyzed with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A practical examination consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the pupil to light and accommodation.
The function of the eye might be checked in several methods. The patient may be asked to identify illuminated letter or items of varying sizes on exactly what is known as the Snellen chart.
Alternatively, the examination of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. Tension within the eyeball is determined by a "tonometer." In certain diseases, particularly in glaucoma, the tension in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It must be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem might have other problems. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can inform the client and the doctor to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms provide themselves.
Consequently, one's reliance on sight is highlighted when one faces a short-lived or possible permanent loss of this important sense. When corrective procedures are sought, particular kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are recommended.
On the other hand, some individuals are bothered with the fact that they have some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this factor, advanced surgical operations were established to motivate reduced usage of contact lenses or glasses. One of which is the now popular LASIK eye surgery.
Generally, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the brief term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction. The only difference is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is corrected completely.
With LASIK eye surgery, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently changed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgery is to develop a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade referred to as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, permitting better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing popularity of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people must understand. Most likely, the main reason this type of eye surgical treatment has ended up being well accepted is since many of its cases had succeeded.
In spite of its success, there are still some drawbacks. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation used to the most delicate part of the eye
Because LASIK eye surgical treatment includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate parts of the eye, the majority of people state that the operation can be really risky.
To puts it simply, a basic error might nearly cause an person's life time loss of sight. For this reason, it is important to think about lots of elements prior to choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the best restorative procedure one has to go through.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgical click to investigate treatment might remedy your vision but it does not always suggest that it can offer you a perfect vision. Even if statistical reports show that 70% of the patients may have 20/20 vision, this does not read here necessarily mean they have ideal vision as well.
Provided all these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not always be the ideal eye surgery the way many people see it
On the other hand, the evaluation of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. It should be well kept in mind that a client with an eye problem may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a consequence. The appearance of the eye can signal the patient and the doctor to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even before other signs present themselves.
Like its concrete counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction.

the Wizard Frog
This image is a collab peice with my friend Alex done over a DrawPile session (drawpile is a drawing program that allows a bunch of people to work on the same image at the same time over the interwebs). After I decided to write a story about this wizardly frog. The story was also edit by Alex
The Wizard Frog
Chapter 1, the Wizarding
A brave warrior enters the forbidden marsh. His sword hand is held out in front of him for balance, and his left held closely to his chest, gripping a crystal encircled by ribbons of silver, attached to a long chain. The chain is woven through the fingers of a heavy leather glove, and through them, clouds of violet and orange can be seen in the centre of the gem.
His hand starts to droop, as the weight of the sword strains his endurance. The eerie quiet only broken by sounds of movement that seem out of place in the still swamp. The knight's breathing quickens, and he pauses. He sheathes his sword, and closes his eyes to focus on his memory of the wonderful and lovely princess.
"I have infused this pendent with my love, for you, as long as you have this, my love will protect you."
His resolve strengthened, he opens his eyes and speaks to the empty swamp, hoping to strengthen is will with his mantra:
"The terror in this forsaken place will no longer darken the skies over our land, I have come here -"
His monologue is cut short by a deep, raspy voice from the shadows,
"Good luck with that bullllshit."
He hesitates at the startling interruption, and moves to draw his sword while frantically looking for the owner of the voice. But before his could even fully turn his head or move his hand to his scabbard, he is blinded by a great flash of light, and deafened by thunderous noise.
The warrior is too stunned to notice himself tumbling over, and doesn't even hear his own scream as he's hoisted into the air. As he recovers, he finds himself floating upside down, with sparks of power visible in the air around him. As the ringing in his ears subsides, he hears the crackle of magical lightning,
At the edge of his blurred vision, a small badass looking wizard frog hops out from the swampy water, because why the fuck not. The frog's skin is so weather-beaten that it seems to have aged from green to blue. On his flat, broad head, he wears a knobbly flower with tiny petals and a stem that, by its colour seems young and fresh, and by its shape, seems gnarled and weather beaten. The frog's pure white eyes are similarly contradictory: appearing simultaneously as both clouded and glowing. The frogs displays an obvious annoyance that is not so much visible in its expression (if a frog could even be said to have such a thing) as it is emitted, like an aura.
The frog makes its aura redundant by speaking again.
"I was about to eat dinner and now I have to deal with this nonsense. What are you doing here?" The frog has the sort of impatient tone that might be expected from who is asking a question, but is going to deliver a lecture instead of wait for an answer.
The knight opens his mouth to speak, but no sound comes out. With a wiggle of his the wizard's front left second toe, a bright light suddenly erupts from the warriors chest. In an instant, he implodes into his metal armour. A bloody ball of sheer metal, tangled with leather and cloth and welded at the centre, falls to the ground.
The gem rolls into the swamp, sinking beneath the muddy water with an anticlimactic "shlup".
"Crrrrooooak." As he croaks the frogly wizard's eyes bulge out slightly, in opposite directions, and with a quiet "sput", the wizard hops into the water and slowly makes its way towards a nearby nest of ants.

Should Microsoft become multiple mini-Microsofts?
Every so often, the debate resurfaces as to whether Microsoft could or should be better off if the company were broken into two or three mini-Microsofts.
This week, thanks to a new Goldman Sachs report which is putting a hurt on Microsofts stock price, the issue has come to the fore again. Goldman Sachs has downgraded Microsoft to neutral from buy and analyst Sarah Friar has proposed a three-pronged plan to unlock value in Microsoft shares.
As some others have noted, Friars plan includes a couple of fanciful ideas, such as become a cloud leader. (Boom! Youre now a cloud leader, said the genie!) One of her ideas, however, is not quite so far-fetched. What about divesting more peripheral assets such as gaming, Friar suggests.
There have been as many different proposals for splitting up Microsoft as proposers of the concept. Split the company along Windows/Office lines was a favorite of at least one antitrust judge. How about an enterprise/consumer split? What about a consumer/enterprise/services break-up? Or a three-way split between Windows, Office and search?
Just last week, CEO Steve Ballmer named three new presidents. Instead of having a single president running both mobile and gaming, Ballmer opted to name two different presidents to head those units (even though mobile and gaming will continue to report as a single profit-and-loss center when the company details its earnings).

Hi there
Actually a "reasonably" stable MS stock price works wonders for all those into "Covered Call" writing -- this essentially means that say you buy 100 MS shares at 25 USD you can write a "Call" at say 26 USD a share for which someone pays you 0.60 cents a share.
Sy you get IMMEDIATELY 60 USD on your 100 shares.
If the price goes up then you'll get "Called'" but you've STILL made 1 USD a share plus your 60 USD.
Getting "called" means the shares have reached your Offer price of 26 USD and you have to sell them at 26 USD a share. I can't emphasize enough however YOU STILL KEEP THE COVERED CALL PREMIUM which is what effectively can turn this into a "Perpetual Motion Money machine". Nothing trick dicky here -- it's a simple contract saying you've offered to sell your 100 share as 26 dollars a share for which someone will pay you 60 cents a share for the option to buy.
(It's like selling a piece of real estate -- You have a Condo say worth 300,000 USD -- you offer someone the right to buy it say within 6 months at 310,000 USD for which you will get paid say 15,000 USD.
You keep the 15,000 USD whether or not the person who you have sold the option to actually takes up your offer. The real estate value might have bombed so he won't want it.
At the expiry of the contract it's all square again BUT YOU KEEP the premium).
This sort of trading isn't too well known about -- it's basically dealing in "Derivatives" - since you are trading not in the actual stock itself but options on it.
These contracts last for 1 month and you KEEP the premium whether or not you "get called".
If you DON'T get called you write ANOTHER covered call for the following month --another 60 USD in your Bank account.
Even if you DO "get called" you still keep the 60 USD. Just buy another 100 shares again and write a new Call -- might be this time the premium is 70 cents a share.
(In reverse it's called Writing Puts).
I like MS the way it is. This way even with a STABLE share price you can get per 100 shares FOR DOING NOTHING around 700 - 800 USD a year -- money for "Old rope" -- most fund managers would slice their hands off to get a return of around 2.75% a MONTH.
I know this is a technical forum but we shouldn't divorce ourselves away from the Financial aspects of these organisations totally either.
Anyway for the "Non Geeks" here this is an EASY explanation of what I've been posting about here.

@Jimbo...just for info..did you know that the expression "money for old rope" comes from a custom in English history when the hangman supplied the rope for hangings. When the deed was done he used to cut up the rope into lengths and sell them off ...hence the expression..!!

I read jimbo45 several times and still sounds like a Wall Street con job to me. From my understanding it's legal. Isn't that what got Wall Street in all the trouble there in. Then AIG insures them and we just loaned AIG hundreds of billions of dollars to cover there Bass on these tricky deals that they haven't paid us back. I'm confused how about you all?
If history proves it's self out the breaking up of Microsoft will make Microsoft and it's smaller companies richer and stronger. It lowers the chance of Microsoft being sued for being a monopoly. That just might be the reason Microsoft bought Apple stock to keep it afloat, there fore no monopoly.

Liveblog: DockerCon 2017 Day 1 Keynote18 Apr 2017 · Filed in Liveblog
This is a liveblog of the day 1 keynote (general session) of DockerCon 2017 in Austin, TX.
At 9:05am, Ben Golub, CEO of Docker, Inc., takes the stage to kick off the general session and the conference. Golub starts the presentation by reviewing Docker's four-year history and all the things that have changed over the last three years since the very first DockerCon—from the size of Gordon (Docker's tortoise mascot) to the amount of growth in Docker usage (via statistics in the number of Docker hosts, the number of Docker-ized apps, the number of image pulls from Docker Hub, and so forth).
Golub continues by mentioning some of the various use cases for Docker. One use case mentioned is Intuit's use of Docker, and Golub points out that the person responsible for running Intuit's systems is confident enough in their systems that they're attending DockerCon on Tax Day (when as many as 25 million tax returns are expected to be processed).
Shifting gears a bit, Golub talks a bit more about the changes over the last 3 years in regards to Docker (the open source project) itself. Stakeholders have changed, and the nature of the project (now projects) has shifted as well. Golub mentions that this is something that will be discussed in more detail shortly when Solomon Hykes takes the stage.
After briefly discussing a specific talk here at the conference (a talk by TGen), Golub thanks the contributors, maintainers, mentors, and community members who support Docker (the open source project). He also thanks the sponsors of the event, the speakers (and especially customer speakers), the members of the ecosystem, and the Docker Inc. team.
After a "sacrifice to the demo gods," Golub brings Solomon Hykes, CTO and founder of Docker, Inc., to the stage.
Hykes kicks off his portion of the keynote by re-iterating Docker's mission: to build tools of mass innovation. As a result of a lot of thinking about tools, Hykes says they've derived some rules for building the "best tools" for mass innovation. These rules state that the best tools should:
- Get out of the way
- Adapt to you
- Make the powerful simple
Hykes says these rules are the impetus behind the separation between Enterprise Edition and Community Edition, and why there are tools like Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows.
Turning to focus a bit more on the tools themselves, Hykes starts with tools for developers (arguably Docker's bread-and-butter audience). Docker, according to Hykes, strives to streamline and remove friction in the development cycle. How? Hykes says he uses "complaint-driven development." What is complaint-driven development? It's a three-step process:
- Developer complains about problem.
- Docker fixes detail complained about in step 1.
- Repeat ad infinitum.
Hykes goes on to provide some examples of this process. The first example he mentioned is that container images are too big. The answer to this process is multi-state builds. Multi-stage builds—leveraging a single
Dockerfile and a single build command—allow you to cleanly separate build-time environments/images from run-time environments/images.
The second example Hykes shares is the friction involved in moving apps from the desktop (using something like Docker for Mac) to the cloud (using something like Docker for AWS). The fix for this problem is called desktop-to-cloud, which allows you to connect to cloud-based swarms directly from the desktop UI (in Docker for Mac or Docker for Windows).
At this point, Hykes brings out the first demo team (Ryan Adams and Kristie Howard). The demo shows off multi-stage builds and the desktop-to-cloud integration from both Docker for Mac and Docker for Windows. The skit and dialogue were a bit contrived (as they often are), but the demo did a good job of showing off the new functionality.
Hykes re-takes the stage, and informs the audience that you can get the new features available right now as part of Docker's Edge release. It will hit the stable release soon.
The focus now shifts from Docker for developers to Docker for operators. The first aspect that Hykes discusses is security, and how moving to production securely is difficult. Why? Part of this is the shift to distributed systems. Hykes says that you can't just continue to use the same tools for distributed systems; distributed systems are more than the sum of their parts, and therefore you need something more to secure a distributed system. According to Hykes, secure orchestration is an answer to securing distributed systems; this leads into a discussion of secure orchestration.
The core of secure orchestration within Docker is SwarmKit. To talk more about secure orchestration and SwarmKit, Hykes brings out Diogo Monica, the technical security lead at Docker Inc. Monica begins his discussion of secure orchestration with a review of Secure Node Introduction (which is how a node joins a swarm). This leads to a discussion of cryptographic node identity via a public key infrastructure (PKI) created automatically by SwarmKit. With the PKI and cryptographic node identity in place, this enables mutual TLS (MTLS) between all nodes (for control plane interaction). These identities can also be used for cluster segmentation, according to Monica. SwarmKit also offers encrypted networks (I was not aware of this functionality), and secure secret distribution in a platform-agnostic, least-privilege way.
Monica turns the stage back over to Hykes. Hykes talks about the second challenge to moving into production securely: the diversity of infrastructure and operating systems (OSes) underneath Docker. Hykes says that this causes teams to choose between security or portability. The answer? An orchestration layer that is not only secure, but also portable. The third challenge to moving into production securely is developer choice. Lots of different frameworks, lots of different applications, lots of different databases…all this freedom of choice creates challenges to security. You could restrict developer choice, but Hykes believes that's not the answer. The answer is an orchestration system that is secure, portable, and usable.
Naturally, this leads to a second demo. Hykes brings out Kristie Howard, along with Nathan LeClaire and Diogo Monica. In a classic "Not my problem" scenario, Howard drops the new service to be deployed into the hands of the Ops team (LeClaire and Monica), who then run through the rest of the demo.
Retaking the stage, Hykes points out that a platform is only as secure as its weakest component. This means that you have to worry about every component, and according to Hykes that's exactly what Docker Inc. has been doing for the last year or so. To put this into context, Hykes discusses the work that Docker Inc. has been doing on the various "Docker for X" platforms. This led Docker to work with a number of other companies to build a secure, lean, portable Linux subsystem. The result of this effort is LinuxKit.
LinuxKit is a lean, portable, and secure Linux subsystem. It works only with containers, which allows LinuxKit to sandbox system services and reduce the attack surface. This, in turn, provides an incubator for innovative new security solutions. LinuxKit was built using a community-first security process. Linux is too big (and too important, according to Hykes) for any one company to secure it; it has to be done via a community effort with other organizations and contributors. LinuxKit naturally has to be very lean, and it has to be portable. Other companies involved in LinuxKit include IBM, Microsoft, Intel, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, and the Linux Foundation.
Hykes now brings out John Gossman, Azure Architect from Microsoft, to take the stage. I expected Gossman to talk about LinuxKit on Windows, but the discussion was more about Hyper-V Isolation (adding hardware virtualization isolation for containers on Windows—for VMware folks, it's analogous to vSphere Integrated Containers). Gossman announces today that Microsoft is bringing Hyper-V Isolation to Linux containers running on Windows (previously Hyper-V Isolation supported only Windows-based containers). Gossman points attendees to a session later in the day where Microsoft will discuss Hyper-V Isolation in more details. Hyper-V Isolation will support LinuxKit at a future point.
Hykes re-takes the stage, and open sources LinuxKit live on the stage. After a bit of "technical difficulty" regarding his two-factor authentication to GitHub, Hykes finally gets into the LinuxKit repository and makes it public.
Shifting gears slightly, Hykes starts talking a bit more about the container ecosystem and Docker Inc.'s commitment to the container ecosystem. Docker believes that if the container ecosystem succeeds, Docker succeeds. (Docker the project or Docker the company?) This leads to a discussion of the separation of runC, containerD, SwarmKit, InfraKit, etc., into separate component projects. According to Hykes, the spinning out of component projects reflects a natural evolution of Docker Inc.'s participation in the container ecosystem as the ecosystem has grown over the last few years.
The sum of the discussion around the growth of the ecosystem and the evolution of Docker Inc.'s collaboration around component tools and the common assemblies used to put these components together is moving the discussion around the assemblies into open source themselves. The result is the Moby project.
The Moby project is a framework to let you assemble specialized container systems without reinventing the wheel. It's a library of 80+ components that you can use and re-use with your own assemblies. The project has reference assemblies that you can use unmodified, or that you can build upon or customize to create your own custom container systems. Hykes vows that Docker Inc. will use Moby for all of its own open source development. Moby will will be community-run and will leverage a governance model inspired by other successful projects (like Fedora). Moby is designed to work well with existing projects; there's no requirement to donate code to Moby.
So what does Moby mean to you? According to Hykes:
- If you're a Docker user: Docker will better leverage the ecosystem to innovate faster for you
- If you're a system build: Moby will help you innovate without tying you to Docker (the project or the company?)
Hykes walks through a few examples of using Moby assemblies:
- Building a locked-down Linux system with remote attestation
- Leveraging this locked-down Linux system to create a custom CI/CD stack
- Rebuilding the custom CI/CD stack using Debian instead of LinuxKit and Terraform instead of InfraKit
Following up on this discussion, Hykes brings out Rolf Neugebauer to help him demo Moby. The first demo involves building "RedisOS," which is a minimal OS that only runs Redis, and booting "RedisOS" on a Mac, on Windows, and on bare metal. It looks like Moby uses a YAML file to define the components in a Moby assembly. Moby sort of feels a bit like HashiCorp's Packer tool in that it can produce "artifacts"—VM images, ISO images, etc.—just by modifying the Moby assembly. The second example in the demo builds an etcd cluster on Google Cloud, including the use of Prometheus to monitor the cluster. The third and final example is turning up Kubernetes using HyperKit, LinuxKit, containerD, etcd, SSH, and Kubernetes on a Mac.
With the end of the demo, Hykes closes out the general session.

By the time Avonworth middle and high school students return to classes next fall, the school library will have been transformed into what the district is calling a "21st Century Collaboration Center."
A $170,000 grant from the Grable Foundation will allow the district to reconfigure the library space, taking advantage of adjacent office and classroom space to add new opportunities for education.
"We have really evolved in the way we think about teaching and learning," said superintendent Tom Ralston, noting that students today have never lived at a time when they did not have access to a computer.
"They're coming to school with a whole different mindset," he said.
The challenge -- and the opportunity -- facing today's educators is how to incorporate technology to produce better educated -- and better thinking -- graduates who will face a very different future than did past generations.
The new collaboration center will take advantage of a couple key partnerships to add learning opportunities to the district's existing curriculum. For instance, the technology department of the Allegheny Intermediate Unit will create a "distance learning" space in which students can work with their peers in other area schools, or anywhere around the world. Ralston said that distance learning has been used at Avonworth in several classes -- in language classes, for example, where Spanish students can connect with students in Spanish-speaking countries -- but the grant will allow for the construction of a permanent distance learning center.
Another partnership will be with the Children's Museum of Pittsburgh to develop a feature similar to the museum's "Makeshop," where students can explore and investigate any number of subjects through hands-on experimentation.
Another feature will be based on the Native American kiva, originally a structure used by a village for ceremonial practices. Evolving into education, the kiva will provide an area at Avonworth for large group instruction or brainstorming, allowing students to collaborate via technology to share ideas and solve problems as a group.
The goal, Ralston said, is to engage students in making inquiries, using their natural curiosity to teach them how to think and solve problems. It's all part of a new philosophy in education in which a "teacher is facilitating learning rather than depositing knowledge in someone's head," Ralston said.
And although there may come a day when paper books are a thing of the past, Ralston said that the books in Avonworth's library will remain, although the space will be reconfigured and the circulation evaluated to determine what books are being used.
Construction on the collaboration center is expected to take place over the summer.

Dr. Schwartz describes the tests used to determine if a patient is a good candidate for LASIK corrective eye surgery and explains if the procedure can be performed on someone who is both nearsighted and farsighted.
Dr. Schwartz:
There are pre-LASIK surgery tests. We take multiple scans of the surface of the eye. We take measurements of the prescription of the eye. We take pressure readings within the eye. A lot of it is done as just a complete general health check of the eye.
So we are looking for cataract, glaucoma, retinal disease, any issue that might cause the eye to not perform normally, and those things are often followed up with prior to having any LASIK. If indeed let's say there's a retinal lesion in the back of the eye, it could be just a freckle back there. My protocol is typically to send off to a retina specialist, have the patient evaluated, make sure everything is normal, before proceeding with an electric procedure like LASIK.
Well the nearsighted and farsighted is kind of a misnomer. What really is going on is it is nearsighted and presbyopic and what that means is, somebody can see far away with glasses on, but then when they have their glasses on or their contacts in they can't read, and that's a presbyopia. So the only way to really counter that is to correct one eye for distance and one eye for reading and that's called monovision and that can be done with LASIK.
About Dr. Jay Schwartz, D.O.:
Dr. Jay L. Schwartz is arguably the most prolific refractive surgeon in the valley. Having performed over 28,000 LASIK surgeries and offering both IntraLASIK and Custom LASIK procedures, it is not hard to see why professional athletes have trusted the Schwartz Laser Eye Center since 2001. Dr. Jay L. Schwartz is the team ophthalmologist for the Phoenix Suns, Arizona Diamondbacks, world champion Phoenix Mercury and the team LASIK ophthalmologist for the Phoenix Coyotes. The Schwartz Laser Eye Center is also the official LASIK center of the Suns, Coyotes, and Diamondbacks making it easy to see why Schwartz Laser Eye Center is synonymous with professionalism. In fact, Schwartz Laser Center's doctors spend every spring assisting numerous professional baseball teams preparing for the upcoming year.

What does not kill Arsenal will make them stronger. That is the message from Arsène Wenger, who shrugged off speculation about the future of Cesc Fábregas by insisting the club would survive and thrive even if they were to lose their captain.
Fábregas admitted this week that Real Madrid have inquired about his availability while Barcelona again spoke publicly about their desire to see him in their colours. Wenger has previously suggested that it is inevitable the 21-year-old will return to his native Spain some day but had always expressed the belief that would not be before the conclusion of his current contract, which runs until 2014.
His refusal to rule out a move by the midfielder this summer, therefore, may be telling. Certainly Wenger betrayed irritation, and perhaps even resignation, when asked about the Spanish clubs' interest.
"Frankly I don't care what they say," insisted Wenger. "I know we are in a strong position with Cesc but there is no need for me to deny or not deny anything, because whatever I say they will say something else again next week."
Despite his youth, Fábregas has become a totemic figure at Arsenal and given that his best years are surely ahead of him, his departure would trigger even more grief than the losses of Thierry Henry and Patrick Vieira. Perhaps pre-empting that eventuality, Wenger declared that life would carry on regardless: "We have no key players here, only a key team," he said. "It is not about who stays or who goes in July, what is more important is how we focus on the next game."
Tomorrow's visit to the Emirates by Manchester City provides a reminder of the travails Arsenal have already had to overcome this season. Their 3–0 defeat at Eastlands in November was their worst of the campaign and came on the back of Fábregas inheriting the captaincy from William Gallas, who had been stripped of the armband after publicly criticising his team-mates. That disharmony at the club was compounded by injuries to important players, including Fábregas, who only tomorrowmakes his comeback following a knee injury sustained against Liverpool in December. Despite those woes, however, Arsenal have clambered back into the top four and remain in contention for the Champions League and FA Cup.
Intriguingly, their only defeat in the 19 games that Fábregas missed was away to Roma in the last 16 of the Champions League, and they ultimately progressed from that tie on penalties.
"That is why I do not want to be known as just a one-man team," said Wenger. "We are in a strong position because of the quality of our squad. I never lost faith in the players and I'm very proud of them because they have shown strength in very difficult circumstances. We have grown and become united because of the difficulty. Now I want to capitalise on that at this important time of the season. March, April and May is always the defining time of the season."

Bathroom Cabinetry
If there is an area in the house which could normally utilize some extra storage room, it could definitely be the bathroom. There is certainly so much that we retain in over there, for instance the toilet tissue, linens, towels, facial tissue, bath salts, shampoo, soap, tooth-pastes, and all sorts of other forms of indispensable items.
The most effective regions to set up a cupboard would be either in the corner, under, or higher the sink. During these areas, it is proven it's going to yield you more room than it takes from you. You can also install bathroom cabinets in any free area, and so they can be attached to the wall to ensure you have some additional storage. It is possible to opt to have one large cabinet or various more compact cabinets in your bathroom. All these will depend on the space for storage that you will need to make sure the rooms continues to be uncluttered. You can provide appropriate storage for that master bathroom using a freestanding cabinet.
These cabinets can be found in diverse styles, sizes and shapes. You can opt for a tall vertical cabinet which includes numerous shelves, a rectangular cabinet that has four doors, or even a cabinet that has two doors along with a drawer. The design options are many, and you can obtain a cabinet in the size and elegance that is appropriate for the space you need. Most bathroom cabinets are manufactured from wood or a wood composite. restroom equipment, oak, cherry, and pine. Cabinets made out of pine or wood composites are ordinarily the most affordable. Some cabinets are manufactured out of metal. You may also set up a mirror that is basically a cabinet. The door of this cabinet doubles as the mirror, and you can easily store small items, like toothpaste behind the doorway. Bathroom cabinets are a good storage solution because you generally need some space for storing in your bathroom. A waterproof cabinet may be installed in the shower area to store things like soap, shampoo as well as other products that are made usage of while bathing.
commercial washroom accessories aid in taking full good thing about the available space. Open shelves may also be fitted around the bathroom. They provide additional storage area for storing private care items including toiletries and medicines. At the same time, fitting the bathroom with cabinets will help you in getting rid of shelves which cover lots of space. A cabinet when compared with open shelves helps in safeguarding and keeping personal items private. Homeowners might not be interested in letting their guests know the type of stuffs or medications which they use. A cabinet helps with making the bathroom look more arranged. Should there be three or more people sharing the bathroom, you can implement a color coding system to arrange items like towels as well as other personal items. Whether you are planning to buy a new house or beautifying the old one, bathroom storage space is one factor that demands due consideration for a tidy and beautiful bathroom where you can sit back and decrease. There are a lot of options that just you can hold back the number of choices.

Tips for Growing LSD Cannabis
Ever wanted to grow your favorite strain? Leafly and Botanicare are teaming up on a series of grow guides that will equip you with all the tips and tricks you need to grow different strains successfully.
Strain Overview: The LSD hybrid strain was created when Barneys Farm crossed an old Skunk #1 strain with Mazar. As you might expect from the name, LSD's high is intensely euphoric, stemming from large, quick-growing buds.
Grow Techniques: A relatively easy strain to grow, LSD will produce heavy yields when left to grow on its own. To maximize its potential, top the plant and promote growth throughout. Prune the lower branches to focus the energy in the massive buds growing above.
Flowering Time: 7-8 weeks
Yield: High
Grow Difficulty: Easy
Climate: Best if kept between 65-80 degrees Fahrenheit. If grown outside, be mindful of rainfall as the buds become dense and prone to mold.
Indoor/Outdoor: Indoors and outdoors work equally well. Make sure the plant receives plenty of sunlight but limited humidity.
Feeding: Feed moderately with worm castings and bat guano when flowering.

Never believe red carpet smiles and cuddles. It now transpires that Colin Firth and his Italian wife Livia were separated during several togetherness-outings onto the paparazzi-walk last year. All of which has emerged since she reported an Italian journalist whom she was having an affair with during their spousal time apart for stalking her after she broke up with him and returned to Firth.
Colin Firth, born 10 September 1960; Livia Giuggioli, 4 September 1969.
This makes them both Sun Virgos. He with Pluto, North Node and Mercury also in Virgo; she with Pluto. Her Venus is in Leo and his in Libra which isn't a bad combo at all. His Moon is in steady Taurus while hers is in restless Gemini.
It is an odd match. She describes herself as a 'ball-breaker' and she certainly has a challenging chart with Mars in Sagittarius probably opposition her Moon and square Pluto, so controlling and ultra-determined. Her Pluto is conjunct Colin's Mercury with her Mars in square – so she'll tend to dominate discussions. His Mars opposes Jupiter squaring onto his Mercury, which will make him enthusiastic, optimistic, quite nervy with a focal point Mercury. Her Saturn in Taurus opposes his Neptune for uncertainties and suspicion and her cool Saturn may conjunct his Moon, certainly is trine his Pluto. Her Jupiter, Mercury, Uranus is conjunct his Venus – so a superficially glamorous connection though a widely travelled schedule will suit, giving her space. His Neptune is square her Venus – so she'll have problems pinning him down.
Their relationship chart would make you wonder how they've stayed together this long. There is a composite Venus, Uranus, Sun, Pluto opposition Saturn possibly square Moon – so a constant roller-coaster; chained-together by Saturn Pluto; possessive from Sun Pluto; but disruptive with differing agendas from Saturn and Sun close to Uranus. There is an idealistic, head-in-the-clouds Jupiter Neptune. It has had tr Neptune in an undermining opposition to the composite Venus Uranus and conjunct Saturn recently and tr Neptune is now moving to oppose Sun Pluto through this year and next. So the future looks highly uncertain.
