If you are an artist, especially one of those so-called avant-garde artists, your entire raison d'être is to shock the audience.
If that is the case, to me it's no longer about art and wanting to create from within, it's all about ego, and the need to screw with the viewer.
If that's art, I'll take pistachio. Hmm… in my head that sounded wittier rather than so old-fashioned.
MMM… pistachio.
So… is the concept of seeing a Japanese woman all bound up in a sheet unable to move turn you on?
Okay, I have to admit I think it moved just a little…
What is shocking to me is not the fact that there is a so-called art project where two male artists use a bound woman as a paintbrush to paint Japanese calligraphy with her hair dipped in black ink…
The shocking aspect is that there was a woman out there who thought that maybe "yes… this seems like a perfect way for me to earn some money to show my parents that all those years of taking jazz dance classes were worth it."
Or something like that.
I have no idea what the point of the following is, but... for Japanese calligraphy (書道, shodō), an artist will use India ink to create Chinese-based letters... it hardly sounds Japanese at all. I guess to make it Japanese, one needs to use Japanese as an artistic medium... in this case the artists are using a Japanese as a brush. She's a medium... or maybe a small...
So… what could these artists be painting?
I think it could be this highly ironic word - 恥 (pronounced kaki), which is Japanese for shame.
How much do you think the human paint brush was paid to have a couple of 'ar-teests' place their sweaty little hands all over her body?
Yes… I do too think like this. Every guy is a perv. And, if they say they aren't, they are also a liar.
I'm not, obviously, because I would tell you if I was.
As for when this photo was taken and who the artists are - no clue. That's not the point. It IS an interesting photo, though, and a keen insight into the mind of an artist(s) and his tool.
Somewhere painting myself into a corner,

Not many birds evident- a couple of dozen black headed and yellow-legged gulls and a few pied wagtails on the wharf. Interestingly a good raft of wintering coot in the harbour- probably in excess of 400 birds- the biggest gathering of this species I have ever seen. A fly-by kingfisher was a bonus bird.

Birthday Cake
Emily turns seven today. It's hard to believe!
We had her party yesterday afternoon at an indoor play centre near our house, and it was princess themed.
So I put on my baking hat and made a castle cake.
It started to go a bit dodgy mid-way through but I think I managed to pull it off in the end.

Choosing between an asphalt or a concrete driveway is about more than just color and texture preferences. These two types of paving materials have clear differences, some of which are based on their reactions to climate. Innovations in the decorative paving industry make it possible to choose either material without sacrificing quality or durability.
Generally, asphalt has been about 30 percent cheaper than concrete. Because it is a petroleum product, its cost changes along with the price of oil. Fluctuations in oil prices will at times cause the price of asphalt to be about the same as concrete.
Once concrete is poured, dried and sealed, it requires almost no maintenance other than occasional cleanup of oil or gasoline spots. An asphalt driveway requires a sealer six weeks after the asphalt is laid and then a reapplication of the sealer every three years. Some of the requirements for sealer reapplication will vary depending on the type of sealer you use. Acrylic sealers, for example, will last longer than other types of asphalt sealers.
Asphalt is often the material of choice for homeowners in northern climates because it holds up in well in cold weather. When it does crack, it's much less expensive to repair than concrete. People who live in southern climates avoid asphalt because the consistent high temperatures tend to soften it. Overall, concrete will last as much as three times longer than asphalt.
Concrete has a lighter color, so it's more reflective and easier to see in the dark. Asphalt has a solid black surface mixed with shades of deep charcoal gray. Personal preference will factor in to your choice, as well as how the color fits in with your landscaping and home exterior.
Asphalt or concrete overlays are mixed with polymers to make them extra-durable, and they're available in a variety of earth-tone colors. There's even an ivory-colored asphalt if you want that material but prefer a lighter surface. Choose a plain driveway surface, or try a variety of decorative stamps. When applied to the wet overlay, these stamps create texture impressions of brick, flagstone, cobblestone or slate.

Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition. It is far more common than previously thought. Sleep apnea happens in all age groups and both genders, although it is more common in men. It is estimated that as many as 18 million Americans have sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. There are two types of sleep apnea:
Sleep apnea is characterized by a number of involuntary breathing pauses or "apneic events" during a single night's sleep. There may be as many as 20 to 30 or more events per hour. These events are usually accompanied by snoring between apnea episodes. But, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. Sleep apnea may also be characterized by choking sensations. The frequent interruptions of deep, restorative sleep often lead to early morning headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness.
During the apneic event, you can't breathe in oxygen or exhale carbon dioxide. This results in low levels of oxygen and increased levels of carbon dioxide in the blood. This alerts the brain to resume breathing and cause an arousal. With each arousal, a signal is sent from the brain to the upper airway muscles to open the airway. Breathing is resumed, often with a loud snort or gasp. Frequent arousals, although necessary for breathing to restart, prevent restorative, deep sleep.
Early recognition and treatment of sleep apnea is important, as it may be associated with:
Certain mechanical and structural problems in the airway cause the interruptions in breathing during sleep. Apnea happens:
Sleep apnea seems to run in some families, suggesting a possible genetic basis. People most likely to have or develop sleep apnea include those who:
Use of alcohol and sleeping pills increases the frequency and duration of breathing pauses in people with sleep apnea.
In either form of sleep apnea, your breathing pauses a number of times during sleep. These are called apneic events. There may be as many as 20 to 30 or more events per hour. Between events, you may snore. But, not everyone who snores has sleep apnea. Sleep apnea may also cause a choking sensation. When breathing starts, you may make a loud snort or gasp. These frequent breaks in deep, restorative sleep often lead to headaches and excessive daytime sleepiness.
Other symptoms include dry mouth or sore throat and problems paying attention.
Diagnosis of sleep apnea is not simple because there can be many different causes. Primary healthcare providers, pulmonologists, neurologists, or other healthcare providers with specialty training in sleep disorders may be involved in making a diagnosis and starting treatment. Several tests are available for evaluating sleep apnea, including:
Diagnostic tests usually are done in a sleep center, but new technology may allow some sleep studies to be done in your home.
Specific treatment will be determined by your healthcare provider based on:
Medicines are generally not effective in the treatment of sleep apnea. Therapy may include the following:
Sleep apnea is a breathing disorder characterized by brief interruptions of breathing during sleep. Sleep apnea is a serious, potentially life-threatening condition that is far more common than generally understood.

This is Sasha's message to her teacher at the end of this school year; this teacher has been great with Sasha and tried very hard to accommodate and teach her and it's true that she will be missed.
Sasha has now been at home full time for four weeks; in that time there have of course been many meetings and phone calls and emails for me to deal with. At the same time, I've had to try to persuade Sasha to do work which has been sent home, and have tried to keep her occupied whilst also managing the various workmen in and out of the house. It's not that Sasha doesn't want to be at school; in fact she is currently definite that she doesn't want me to home educate her. She wants a school to go to, but one where there will be more children like her.
We attended a meeting at school yesterday and arrived as the children were outside playing. Sasha hid behind me as we walked in; she wanted to avoid the attention from lots of children at once. Once spotted though, there were shouts of her name and a couple came closer. I could hear one of the classmates instructing others not to approach Sasha, saying very clearly 'she doesn't like that, remember?!'. One girl came right up though and put her arms around Sasha to give her a big hug, even though Sasha still kept her back to her and her hands over her ears!
I think both actions were good in different ways; the instruction to stay away actually showed great understanding, but the hug showed Sasha how much she was loved, by many of her classmates. I like to think she's taught them a fair amount about difference....
Today was the last day of school with an early finish after lunchtime. The tradition has always been to go to the local park with a picnic once school is out and so I tentatively suggested to Sasha that we might go and join them at that time even though she wasn't in school. I honestly wasn't expecting her to agree to go, especially as she was aware that many of her classmates would be there and so the same excitement might happen. Maybe it was the hug swung it for her though; she was a little unsure but agreed to go. We went early so that she had time to check the playground out, and then we watched from a distance as her classmates started to arrive.
As I watched her run across the park towards the first two girls, tears sprang to my eyes. Then I was even more amazed as she went off to chat with a bigger group for a little while, leaving me to chat with the mums (who I've been missing - it's amazing how much you want a school run when you don't have one any more...). Despite being a little anxious of dogs generally she then made friends and played with this cute dog belonging to one of her classmates:
There were then some group photos as we left (amazing that Sasha agreed to pose momentarily for those) and more hugs for Sasha from her lovely classmates.
I went through a whole bunch of mixed emotions; love for the children who have been so understanding and accepting of her, happiness that she has in fact managed so well at mainstream school and for much longer than I ever thought she would, but also sadness that we've now reached the point where she has realised she's too different for that and it's not a way of learning which suits her, and the knowledge that there is no easy path forward. Or at least that's how it seems for now. While you're enjoying your summer ice creams, watch this space and keep your fingers crossed everyone...
The writing of the card and this whole school year has been a huge achievement for Sasha and so I'm also linking up with:

Hello Maria Therese here today with a scrapbook page
First of all I want to apologize for the flash that went off in the photo I tried so many different ways to take picture of this layout so I hope you will forgive me.
I wanted to keep this layout simple not too many different papers as I wanted the photo and the embellishments to show in a nice way.
If you look to the right of the photo you see I used the cut out hearts from the pocket Page die-light together with the half pearls to create a confetti like sprinkle.
Lots of Hugs from Maria Therese, I hope you drop by my blog to see new WoJ through out the month ♥

These heart brooches and magnets were handmade by my students in their own time as part of a fundraiser. Students raised over $1500, which went to the Growing Through Education Foundation, a not for profit organisation based in Melbourne, Australia, who provide financial and practical assistance to schools and school communities with specific development needs.
I was fortunate enough to visit some of these schools and communities in India's Eastern Himalayas recently, as part of a voluntourism trip to during school holidays.
Part of the monies raised by the 'Hearts For India' project were spent on basic art supplies for schools and the remainder will go towards building a new school in Yelbong, for the younger students, so that they can attend school in their community until they are old enough to walk to school in the neighbouring community.
This fundraising project was inspired by some wonderful school projects I had seen on blogs such as the 'Heart to Heart' project at Artzy Creations, 'Houses For Haiti' at The Unquowa School and 'Houses For Second Harvest' at Teach Kids Art.
You can find out more about the Growing Through Education Foundation and some details of our trip HERE. I will post more about my teaching experience in India soon!
Students rolled slabs of clay and used heart-shaped cookie-cutters to cut the shapes. They then used textured stamps or the soles of their shoes to create a pattern on each heart.
Once dry the hearts were glazed in several different coloured gloss glazes before firing.
We used a hot glue gun to glue either brooch backs or magnets to the back of each heart.
The hearts were then stuck to cards explaining our cause and sold at lunch time stalls.

Emily Guy Birken, in her FreedomPop review, attempts to demystify for us the service that this company is bringing us. For most of the services we have to come to depend on, there are very few that we would expect to be able to obtain for free, and one that is probably very near the top of that list, would be mobile and internet services, but that is exactly what FreedomPop offers. Although their most popular plan is $20 a month, the option to have a truly free mobile services is available, and could easily be considered revolutionary. Whether you bring your own device, or purchase one from their website, the are many options offered that would allow users to enjoy a very enjoyable mobile experience.
FreedomPop also offers internet service, using hotspots and MiFi devices, although these are fairly limited in terms of data usages, with plans for 500MB but only on 4G, for free, to 2GB on 3G/4G for $20 a month. Both the internet services, and the mobile services come with a "top-up" feature that must be manually disable if the user does not wish to use it. This feature allows for the automatic addition of data when approaching the limit of the plan currently being used.
FreedomPop is, for the moment, limited to the Sprint network, because of certain deals that the company has with the carrier, but there are plans to bring affordable mobile services to the rest of the population. One such plan takes advantages of the millions of hotspots around the U.S., especially in big metropolitan areas, to allow those who have phones they would like to keep, but are sadly not on the Sprint network, to instead connect through WiFi, and be able to use their phones as they would if their were connected to their network.
The company is even extending its business in Europe, with deals with carriers starting in the UK. For now, the free services offers 200 minutes, 200 texts, and 200MB of data, which is equivalent to the cheapest plan currently offered by the local carriers. There are plans to also offer free international calling in over 60 countries, and to eventually bring the service to even more countries in Europe.

- Carthage Must Be Destroyed: The Rise and Fall of an Ancient Mediterranean Civilisation by Richard Miles
Allen Lane, 520 pp, £30.00, March 2010, ISBN 978 0 7139 9793 4
Those who discovered Salammbô at an impressionable age, before reading any conventional histories of the Punic Wars, know how difficult it is to shake off Flaubert's intoxicating vision of the doomed Carthaginian Empire. Brimming with war and lust, vast riches and bizarre rituals, violence and tragedy verging on melodrama, his novel about the North African power that rivalled Rome in the third century BC received mixed reviews, but Salammbô herself – a high priestess of strange Punic rites, the femme fatale of Carthage – inspired operas by Rachmaninov and Mussorgsky, appeared in voluptuous Art Nouveau and Symbolist paintings, and even influenced Parisian fashions. In the illustrated 1927 edition I read in the 1960s, Mahlon Blaine's Aubrey Beardsley-on-ecstasy drawings made Flaubert's tale even more eidetic.
Written in 1862, during the French colonisation of North Africa, Salammbô has been criticised by modern scholars as 'a rollercoaster ride of sexual sadism, extreme cruelty and repugnant luxury [that] played to every Western European stereotype … about the decadent Orient', as Richard Miles puts it in his impressive new history of Carthage. Pointing out that Rome's triumph over Carthage 'provided an attractive blueprint' and 'metaphor' to justify French domination in North Africa, Miles dismisses Salammbô as 'the most famous product of these colonial assumptions'.
No doubt. Yet Salammbô was an amazing feat of literary archaeology. After reading Miles's dispassionate, fact-packed Carthage Must Be Destroyed, I went back to it. Expecting the novel's charms to have faded, I found myself swept up in Flaubert's fever-dream of Orientalism. But this time, I could appreciate his grasp of the Greek and Latin sources and his knowledge of the French archaeological excavations of the city, begun by Charles Beulé in the 1850s. As Miles's photographs make clear, even Blaine's drawings of 1927 – Salammbô's diaphanous gown and towering headdress, the horned helmet of the Punic god Melqart, the priests sacrificing a child to Baal – were influenced by the discoveries of French archaeologists after Flaubert's death.
Flaubert could hardly avoid being influenced by two millennia of sensational negative images of the powerful Phoenician trading empire, and excavations at Carthage seemed to confirm ancient accounts. As Miles demonstrates, archaeology is continuing to illuminate – and complicate – the Greco-Roman literary evidence. With the exception of Aristotle, who singled out Carthage for admiration in the Politics ('Many of the Carthaginian institutions are excellent. The superiority of their constitution is proved by the fact that the common people remain loyal to it'), most Greek and Latin writers portrayed it as a decadent, ruthless barbarian empire that deserved annihilation. Virgil in the Aeneid describes the suicide of the Carthaginian Queen Dido after her lover Aeneas deserts her to fulfil Rome's glorious destiny. Livy assured the Romans that, as a little boy, Hannibal had sworn to destroy Rome. The Early Christian Fathers gave horrifying accounts of children being hurled into a pit of fire as offerings to Baal. Hannibal's audacious trek over the Alps with war elephants, intent on enslaving all of Italy, became an icon of danger preserved in Latin scare quotes: 'Hannibal at the Gates!'

HTC Droid Eris :: Phone Stops Responding After Reboot / App Causing Interference?Jan 6, 2010
First off, I apologize if I start a new thread when one already exists. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything related to my issue.
The issue:
When I have to restart my phone, all apps stop responding, including phone, google apps, everything. I can't make calls, I don't have a signal, nothing works really. The solution: uninstall recently installed applications, and that fixes it.
However, I wonder if there is something else going on causing this. The reason: Yesterday I installed Backgrounds (a popular 4-5 star application from Android Market). I had to reboot my phone (locked up), when I did, nothing was responding, got messages like acore, gapps, and other apps stopped unexpectedly. I removed Backgrounds, restarted again, and everything worked. My wife uses Backgrounds, but her phone doesn't stop working when she has to restart. Why is this happening on my phone? Is there another app causing interference?

Can you believe Hubble is twenty-five years old? It's mind-boggling to me. I remember when they were going to let it become space debris. I'm so glad they didn't. It would've been such a waste.

Pink Jewelry // Rose Gold and Morganite
Metal jewelry trends have varied over the years from yellow gold in the 90's, to white metals in the 00's (white gold, sterling silver, platinum) to a mix of colored metals right now (yellows, whites, brass, copper, black rhodium). Along the way, rose gold has primarily played a minor role (most often as part of the tri-color gold combination), but over the last year or so it has increasingly been making it's own statement. Picture rose gold jewelry with your bright and pastel pinks for spring...gorgeous!

Taking pink jewelry one step further, add in a peachy pink gemstone like Morganite. Morganite is relatively new on the fine jewelry scene. It's not one of your more common gemstones, and some of you may have never heard of it. It is definitely worth a look! There are many options in pink fashion jewelry, but if you are interested in an investment in pink fine jewelry, morganite is worth considering. It is not as pricey as pink diamonds or sapphires and has a unique peachy pink color that I find to be mesmerizing. Because this is my weekly Cathy Covets post, these are the pieces that I am obsessing over. Hope that you agree :)

This month it is all about WISDOM and PAT is here to share her thoughts on the subject...
God grant me the serenity
to accept the things I cannot change;
courage to change the things I can;
and wisdom to know the difference...
-From the Serenity Prayer by Reinhold Niebuhr
Wisdom is not just about being smart, nor is it about having all the answers. It is determining what to do with what you know, what you've learned from your experiences and what your gut feelings are telling you. Knowing what is coming is not enough -- you must anticipate the consequences as well. Knowing what must be done is only the beginning- you must have the courage and determination to do it.
Some people are math whizzes, some write eloquently, and some have lightning-fast reasoning. Not all these people are wise, but I think they can be. I think wisdom is another path in our own self-discovery. Learning from mistakes and applying knowledge with experience are stepping stones to becoming wiser. Patience, responsibility and experimentation are the wildflowers that make our paths sweet-smelling and colorful. I think we can all be wise if we let ourselves wander up this path. I'd love to find you there waiting for me when I finish my course. If I don't, no worries-- I'll wait for you!
Please be sure to pop over to Pat's personal blog, Patacake Pages, for more inspiration. That is it for today but please be sure to stop by on Monday when we showcase the top seven for Challenge #13 and open the voting up to you.
May you always be guided by wisdom. Have a great weekend everyone!

Happy Weekend folks! It's still Friday and I had a layout up on the Crate Paper blog that I meant to post on here earlier today. Soooo since I've kept you waiting long enough...here it is:)
I've scrapped these pictures a few times now but I think this is my favorite layout of them.
I have albums on the go for Brady's grandparents so the duplicates are always put to good use.
I took some close ups to share the little details of my page.
I like how project life allows you to create multiple mini layouts within one.
For more details and pictures make sure you stop by the Crate blog and check it out!
Thanks for stopping by!
Now I have some episodes of Blacklist to catch up on with my Honey.

Curse of the Witching Tree (2015)
This long weekend has not been great for choosing horror movies in the house, although I did watch my fair share. Of course, I have been stuck in a small Ancient Aliens marathon as I continue to do some research for a project, so my mind may be a touch disconnected. Next up for review here at The Ringmaster's Realm is the 2015 low budget entry Curse of the Witching Tree.
Plot/ An innocent woman, accused of murdering her son and hanged as a witch, curses a tree and the children who play around it. The effects of this act of revenge echo through the years and centuries, and restless spirits haunt the house where the bodies of the cursed children have been buried. A family moves into their new home, and begin to uncover the terrible truth behind The Witching Tree and the murdered children upon which they unknowingly sleep.
After suffering through Poltergeist on Friday, I honestly thought any movie I chose would be better, and I was right. While this movie is far from perfect, it served as the perfect way to wash that out of my mind. The storyline, while unbelievable, was interesting; the atmosphere was dark, and for a low budget flick, it had some moments. Unfortunately, while the backstory was interesting, there were excessively many clichéd and head scratching moments, the acting was uneven at best, and there were really no moments that stirred any type of emotional response (even the attempts at jump scares). In the end, even with a few entertaining moments, this one is not worth diving into. Yes, it may be better than Poltergeist, but that is not saying much at all. Stay away!

Recommendation and Trading Idea
Beyond FRB Chairman Ben Bernanke's and President Bush's often positive remarks about the U.S. Economy, it is an undeniable fact that investors are currently wary of U.S. markets. As aforementioned, there are strong trends-based speculations about the further weakening of the US Dollar and the relative strength/appreciation of the Japanese Yen. The market speculations are rooted in reasons which include: (1) the U.S. subprime mortgage crisis, (2) a probable interest rates hike in Japan, and (3) a probable interest rates reduction in the United States. My recommendations include:
- Abandonment of Carry Trading
- Trading (Selling) U.S. Dollars against Japanese Yen
- Buying Japanese Yen with U.S. Dollars
- Buying Put Options of USD/JPY
Carry trading used to be an attractive trade for reasons of simplicity and convenience. It has proven to be a profitable trade too; reasonable yields can be expected with minimal risk. However, there are expectations of a USD/JPY rate decrease in the near future, implying a currency appreciation or increase in value of the Japanese Yen. Buying preference should, therefore, be given to the Japanese currency for higher future profits. In contrast, the US Dollar is an unwise investment choice; investments in the currency will, more probably, incur the investor a loss.
Recommendation for Market Professionals
For those who are familiar with currency option trading, my advice is to buy put options for USD/JPY. Put options allow the investor to sell the security at the purchase price in the future, even in the midst of a market price decline of the particular put option. For instance, if you bought a USD/JPY put option at a price of 112 and with a maturity of three months, you can still sell a USD/JPY put option at 112 at the time of maturity even if the USD/JPY put option's market price is already lower than 112.
Therefore, even with a prevailing market price of 108 after three months, you can still sell the put option at 112 and gain some profit. The price of USD/JPY put options is actually rising recently because of expectations of lower USD/JPY rates in the future. The investors' goal is to invest and sell them at a higher price in the future. It is definitely worth paying a little extra for put options and anticipate higher future profits.

Nun similar to a bet in ktav Rashi
11 comments:
I think its kosher, I would not call this a nun shburahReplyDelete
Eli why isn't it a shaylas tinok - it is wide a bit (the total width of the letter right to left is atleast 2k), and the tzura of its akev may cause a problem - for the tinok. This might be what Yossef's tinok couldn't recognize it.ReplyDelete
I do agree with you that there shouldn't be a problem of shbura.
I was refering to the shebura issue. Now that I look at the width of the gug it may injdeed be a ST although I would want to see how the other nunim and chofim compare on the same mezuzahReplyDelete
With the width of the gag and the bent tzavar combined, even if each on its own wouldn't be enough to pasel the nun - obviously together these factors were enough of a shinui for the tinok to not know what it is. Isn't the tinok machria?ReplyDelete
ie we have a letter that isn't obviously kosher, a tinok hasn't been able to identify it, therefore it should be pasul (assuming he's not tipesh). No?
Thank you yossef for posting the whole mezuza,ReplyDelete
Now it is clear that this nun is not like all the nunim, but a shaylas tinok. If the tinok can't recognize it, it is pasul.
But be sure the tinok was shown several beitim and nunim, before you ask him on this specific nun.
BTW Hashgacha Pratis - see the gimel of dgancha, it is mamash the gimel sfardi/bagdadi I wrote about.
the mezuza can be enlarged by clicking on it to see the detailsReplyDelete
i really don't think the sfardi mumchim would have a problem with this nunReplyDelete
Perhaps as R' Eli says sefardi poskim would be fine with the nun.ReplyDelete
My question/point was even if we wouldn't lechatchila ask a tinok, doesn't the fact that a tinok already was asked and couldn't identify it mean that it's pasul because it does have some changes from the proper tzura?
If its not geder shalos tinuk to begin with, what the tinuk says is irrelevantReplyDelete
This comment has been removed by the author.ReplyDelete
I agree with Eli it would be a pitty to possul this mezuza, this shevira does not seem posul shelo kesidran. I think that the tinok is tipish to this Sefardi Nun, therefore he cannot identify it (not that he called it a beis, because it does not really look like one)therefore (I believe) you should re show it again by first getting the tinok used to the beis and nuns in the mezuza as r' moshe mentioned.ReplyDelete
By the way, is it ok to put little holes in the corner of the mezuza as in the picture with the needles? I think better not (tape or clips will work fine). Although I saw a sofer who posted for display posul mezuzas and he held it with needles on the corners like in this picture. I was wondering on this issue? thanks

Well I know I said I was going to post the final day of my trip today, 31st December 2011, but I have run out of time and haven't got my blog post done yet. Sorry about this if you were looking forward to it, but I felt it is better to do it right than to rush it. I hope to have it up over the next few days. In the meantime, enjoy a photo from day 3, sunrise over 'Back Of Keppoch'. All the best for 2012!

Yacc is deadby casiano (Pilgrim)
|on Dec 08, 2010 at 19:26 UTC ( #876097=perlmeditation: print w/replies, xml )
|Need Help??
Matthew Might and David Darais paper titled "Yacc is dead." in http://arxiv.org/abs/1010.5023 is receiving a lot of attention (see the discussions in "Lambda the Ultimate" and Russ Cox (the author of Google's Go language).
The paper starts with a harsh critique of the practice of parsing context free languages with (not-really-)regular expressions in languages like Perl.
It uses the term, apparently introduced by Larry Wall, "cargo cult parsing" to refer to the use of cut and paste imitation and copying "magic" regular expressions.
The paper says that people abuse regular expressions instead of turning to tools like yacc because
"regular expressions are `WYSIWYG'—the language described is the language that gets matched—whereas parser-generators are WYSIWYGIYULR(k)—`what you see is what you get if you understand LR(k).'"
What is your opinion on the subject?
Should we run to implement the derivative parsers described in the paper in Perl?
How does it relate to current Perl parsers?

These days, you can watch videos on any subject under the sun. Seriously. Just go to YouTube and search for "underwater basket weaving."
I saw a guy playing ping pong the other day with a Go Pro mounted on his head. Stand in a lift line at your local ski area and you'll notice that every other helmet is mounted with a camera.
The marketing brains at GoPro nailed it with their "be a hero" campaign.
Small HD cameras and simple video editing software have made video production as easy as doing a powerpoint presentation. So a lot of small business owners and marketing coordinators are jumping on the bandwagon. Many seem to think video is the be-all, end-all of their marketing "strategy" or branding. Just get some videos up on YouTube, and everything else will fall into place.
Unfortunately, most of the video branding efforts you see online are nothing more than crummy powerpoint presentations, transferred to a different medium. They ignore the fundamental benefit of video… that you can demonstrate the product and capture the action.
Video is supposed to be a visual medium, and yet most marketing videos that you find online these days are not visual at all. Usually all the audience sees is some guy's face sitting in front of his laptop camera. If he really feels creative he might repeat important points by throwing the words up on the screen and underlining them a couple times.
Just follow the boucing ball!
The fact is, most marketing videos communicate nothing more than a few still photos and a little bit of text. They don't capture the essence of the brand, or promote any sort of sound bite that people would likely repeat.
Here's a good test… If you don't miss a thing by walking away from the computer and just listening to the audio, you know it's not a good use of the video medium. Could have been a podcast.
Eons ago, before the advent of YouTube, I worked on long fromat videos for big brands. We were constantly looking for ideas that did NOT involve a corporate talking head. Because they're boring, with a capital B. And when we absolutely had to use one, we made darn sure the spokesperson was attractive, well spoken and downright great in front of the camera.
Because I have news for you… no one wants to sit and watch your lips move.
Unless you're a super model, or the world's sexiest man, people aren't going to tune in just to see your face. They might be interested in what you have to say, but they don't care about seeing your face in lousy light, distorted and unappealing. Like Shrek.
Unless your brand hinges entirely on your personality, try something different the next time you sit down to do a video…
First, figure out what you need to communicate. THEN decide if video is the right medium for your message. Just because you have the ability to do a video, doesn't mean you should. When it comes to presenting your product in the most favorable light, good still photos are often a better choice than low-budget video. Even if you have a nice, HD camera, the product won't look as good as it would if a pro were shooting it.
Let's say you're launching a new service… often those are tough to show. You can talk about it, explain it, and do your pitch, but there may not be anything really to demonstrate on camera.
A new product, on the other hand, can be held, touched, and demonstrated quite effectively on video. So quit talking about it, and show it in action. Rather than rambling on about the features of the product, show the outcome of using it… the happy ending that comes from your products. Image always trumps information.
If you're selling a new bike, focus on the sheer joy and freedom of riding. If you're pitching a new type of sprinkler system, focus on families enjoying the lush, green grass.
If you insist on talking, cut away and show something, anything, but your face. Study how the great documentary filmmakers do it… it's visual storytelling, not just audio.
The fact is, lousy videos can fail just as easily as any other marketing tool. So before you jump on the video bandwagon, take time to hone your message, and develop a story that's worth telling. In whatever form.

GM Sandy Alderson said yesterday's positive financial developments will release some of the pressure on the team, but as expected, basically said "don't expect too much,'' in the near future.
"So having moved beyond that now, I think we as a franchise have a chance to go through sort of an evolutionary process to get us back to where we want to be,'' Alderson said. "The immediate impact on our payroll is going to be negligible.''
Currently, the biggest drain on the Mets' payroll is Johan Santana, who earned $22.5 million last year while on the disabled list, and is scheduled to make $24 million this year and $25.5 million in 2013 and has a $25 million option for 2014.
That salary makes it impossible to deal Santana, so the Mets' best hope is for continued progress in his rehab from shoulder surgery.
So far, so good.
Santana is ready to start tomorrow against St. Louis in Jupiter, Fla. The target is 80 pitches.
Santana is coming off a 65-pitch outing against the Tigers in which he gave up four earned runs. The start was encouraging because Santana's velocity increased to a consistent 89 mph. and topped out at 91 mph.
Barring complications, Santana is on track to make the Opening Day roster.
Here's tonight's roster against the Washington Nationals:
Andres Torres, CF
Daniel Murphy, 2B
Jason Bay, LF
Ike Davis, 1B
Lucas Duda, RF
Justin Turner, 3B
Josh Thole, C
Ruben Tejada, SS
Dillon Gee, RP
Note: Jon Rauch and Frank Francisco are also expected to pitch.

OAKLAND -- Mark Canha hit a game-ending home run in the ninth inning to lead the Oakland Athletics past the Seattle Mariners 6-5 on Wednesday.
Canha's fifth homer this season came on a 1-0 pitch from Shae Simmons (0-1).
Oakland avoided a three-game sweep and snapped an eight-game losing streak against Seattle.
The A's improved to 15-10 in September, clinching their first winning month since April of 2016. They won 15 games in a month for the first time since June 2015.
Matt Joyce tied an A's record with three doubles.
Blake Treinen (3-4) pitched a scoreless ninth, working around a one-out double by rookie Mike Marjama.
The A's led 5-3 going into the top of the eighth, when Robinson Cano hit a two-run homer off Chris Hatcher.
Cano's 23rd homer was Seattle's second game-tying home run on the day. The Mariners trailed 2-0 when Nelson Cruz hit his team-leading 38th homer, a two-run shot off Kendall Graveman in the top of the fourth.
Graveman left the game with a 5-3 lead and was in line to win his fourth straight decision. Oakland's ace struck out four and gave up three runs on seven hits and one walk in six innings.
Asked whether he has concerns about catcher Bruce Maxwell taking a knee during the national anthem to protest racial injustice in this weekend's road series against the Rangers, A's manager Bob Melvin said he'll have a better sense of the atmosphere once his team gets to Texas.
"I don't think it'll bother him, put it that way," Melvin said. "He's pretty committed to what he's doing and continues to do so and he'll do it in Texas."
Marjama made his first career start. The 28-year-old was 2 for 4, collecting his first major league hits.
Mariners: OF Guillermo Heredia left the team and is expected to have surgery to repair a right shoulder injury he's been playing with all year. Heredia, who bats and throws left-handed, will get a second opinion before having the procedure performed by a specialist in Miami, manager Scott Servais said.
Mariners: LHP Marco Gonzales (1-1, 5.51 ERA) will pitch Friday's series opener against the Angels in Los Angeles. The 24-year-old rookie is 1-0 with a 2.25 ERA in his last four starts.
Athletics: LHP Sean Manaea (11-10, 4.56) will pitch Thursday's series opener in Texas. Manaea missed his last start with upper back tightness. The 25-year-old is 1-1 with a 6.10 ERA in six career starts against the Rangers.

Granada 0 Almeria 0: Visitors hold on to move out of bottom three
Ramon Azeez was dismissed for a second bookable offence eight minutes into the second half to hand Granada a numerical advantage with just under half of the game remaining.
But, for the seventh time in the league this season, Joaquin Caparros' men drew a blank in front of goal and remain just above the relegation places.
Azeez can have no arguments over his red card as he crudely upending Manuel Iturra just after the restart as the Granada man attempted to scamper over the halfway line and launch a counter-attack.
Granada immediately attempted to punish Almeria as substitute Jhon Cordoba went close to breaking the deadlock twice in as many minutes.
Cordoba first steered Youssef El-Arabi's cross straight at goalkeeper Ruben from close range before he steered a header agonisingly wide.
