As we settle into autumn at Edinburgh College of Art (ECA), we like to catch up on what our staff and students got up to over the summer months. For artist and lecturer, Torsten Lauschmann, it was creating an interactive art installation for Ben Nicholson's former studio in Tate St Ives.
Torsten teaches on the Intermedia - BA (Hons) and postgraduate Contemporary Art Practice and Theory programmes at ECA. He has a particular interest and expertise in post-media, and is part of our Futurity/Society/Action research cluster. His work explores the early magic of cinematic entertainment and its most recent technological developments.
After Images - magical qualities, with dark sentiments
For the summer season at Tate St Ives, one of four Tate Galleries throughout the UK, Torsten created an audio-visual mural, After Images, on a 12 x 3m wall in Porthmeor Studio No.5, the former studio of painter, Ben Nicholson.
Imagining the mural as "an archaeological artifice from a future where images have lost their power to communicate", he describes the commission as "an interesting challenge", in that he "wanted the work to have some magical qualities which could appeal to a wide audience without losing some of the dark sentiments".
The location's history was a big influence. "I wanted to use the sublimity of light, a strong factor in Cornish painting's history, but with an artificial twist. I chose to transform a wall spanning the whole length of the studio into my projection mural and screen by painting it with luminescent paint. The room was blackened out and three video projectors were combined to create one big projection mural".
"The light of the filmic projection temporarily "burned" into the luminescent paint, much like the well-known psychological effect of after images on the human eye's retina. The movement of light created a collage of past and present images in an uncanny accumulation of time".
An artwork which continually repaints itself
In addition to using filmed, borrowed and computer-animated clips, Torsten chose to enhance the work's complexity, interactivity and enjoyment by enabling visitors to add to it through, for example, touch and the use of smartphones.
This proved to be a big hit with audiences, with visitors taking to social media sites to share images and stories of how they interacted with the piece.
A number of visitors mentioned returning to the gallery to interact with the piece again, with one commenting "This is how you get kids to engage with modern art. Excellent installation!"
Sound was projected by ultra-sonic speakers, increasing the uncanny illusion of the projection wall itself emitting the audio towards the audience.
About Torsten Lauschmann
Torsten Lauschmann has been active in ECA teaching and research for over ten years, formerly as a Visiting Lecturer, then as a Tutor, and now as a Lecturer.
He was won multiple awards for his work, including a Paul Hamlyn Award and the inaugural Margaret Tait Award. He was shortlisted for the Derek Jarman Award in 2011 and the Samsung Art+ Prize the following year.
His work Digital Clock (Growing Zeros) was part of Tate Liverpool's touring exhibition, Alice in Wonderland, and was exhibited at the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art as part of GENERATION (2014), a nation-wide programme showcasing some of the most significant artists to have emerged from Scotland over the last 25 years.
Other GENERATION exhibitors included Torsten's teaching colleagues on Contemporary Art Practice, John Beagles, Keith Farqhuar and Rachel MacLean, together with 18 other ECA staff and alumni.

Online marketing works for any business. The question is never will it work for you, but how well you will work it. The tools are what they are, and the results have proven time and time again that online marketing works—but only if you're diligent about trying best practices, measuring results and then trying new things. "Being online" and maintaining social media channels are vital components to your future success in the digital age. They aren't just an online phone book and a way to spread word-of-mouth referrals.
You should already understand how important posting and sharing content is, or building engagement, and the need to monitor and manage your reputation on review sites. These are the basics. You need to be aware of current and future trends so that your business won't be left behind as the tides change. The seven trends below have all been happening for years now, but they are currently reaching new levels and require attention because they'll change your marketing strategy.
1: Paid Social Media Ads: OK, free time is over. It was fun back when Facebook and Twitter were free advertising, but that was before they became the hottest real estate on the Web. The rules have changed accordingly. In order to get real benefits from your social channels, you're going to have to budget some marketing dollars there. And by some, I mean more than you were thinking about. It's not that paid ads on social media are expensive, it's just that you're going to need to concentrate more effort there as you move forward.
2: Google AdWords: Until some other search company dethrones Google as the ultimate controller of the Web as we know it, advertising with it is a pretty smart move. Google AdWords is the platform for advertising on the Web using pay-per-click, or PPC. There are other companies that offer PPC advertising, but none have the power of Google. AdWords campaigns have become as necessary as any other piece of your marketing plan. As of the first of the year, businesses were set to spend about $10 billion more on digital marketing than they did last year.
3: Video Content: Considering that more than 300 hours of video content is uploaded to YouTube every single minute, you would think that video was ubiquitous. You'd be wrong. No matter where you turn, every analyst and guru is saying that 2016 will blow through new records in video production and consumption. It's time to start adding video advertising, explainer videos or client testimonials to your marketing.
4: Mobile: Three words: mobile responsive website. If you don't have one, Google's already punishing you in search results. Mobile browsing surpassed desktop browsing in 2015. It will only continue to grow.
5: Apps: Going hand in hand with the mobile shift, Google is also now indexing participating apps for search results. Not only does that mean considering in-app advertising, it also means that a proprietary app for your business might help boost your overall SEO.
6: The Digital Assistant Factor: While you're busy readjusting your SEO strategy to fit mobile search and apps, don't forget the channel that's bringing more and more of the results to the end users: digital assistants. Siri, is there a good shoe repair shop near here? Hey Google, I need an affordable lawn service. Cortana, what's the best CRM software? Get where this is going? You're going to need to figure out how to optimize your content for these virtual assistants.
7: Wearable Tech: Here's yet another adjustment to your campaigns. If you thought 140 characters was restricting, wait until you have to squeeze an ad onto a smartwatch. Wearable technology has been adopted slowly over the past few years, but with the breakthroughs of FitBit and some others the public is just about ready to dive in. Remember Bluetooth headsets in everyone's ears? Get ready for smart clothing all 'round. And, it will open up new worlds of possibilities for digital advertising, but only if you're ready for it.

I'm not sure what's going in but there's seems to be a lot of space for some ground floor retail, I'll keep my eye on this spot.
And in very late reporting, I just noticed the sign saying Cafe 1612 closed in early August. Cafe 1612 was located below the results Gym on U Street. I never actually ate there. Were there any fans? Any scuttlebutt on what may go into the space?

Failing Fast? Fail Better!
To win tenure, you should constantly write and constantly seek feedback, without worrying too much if some of the feedback is negative, write Kenneth Womack and Nichola D. Gutgold.
Mentoring faculty on the tenure track is challenging under any circumstances. And helping them to succeed under that age-old trifecta of promotion and tenure requirements -- the three variously unequal cells of teaching, research and service -- can be one of the academy's most convoluted navigations.
Young scholars frequently find it difficult to share their work, to subject their thinking -- often for the first time in the high-stakes environment of peer-reviewed publishing -- to editorial scrutiny. Worse yet, these same novice professors often cite a fear of exposing poor-quality work as a reason for not submitting their writing. Simply put, they don't want to show what they've got.
And for those young faculty who are unable to get their research program off the ground, this can be a paralyzing fear indeed. On the one hand, they might very well be afraid of damaging their reputation with editors who may see their ideas as half-baked and thusly consider them to be sloppy academics. Yet on the other hand, if a newly minted professor's work isn't seeing the light of day, let alone getting published, he or she can count on having to go back on the market to look for another academic appointment. In a climate rife with more Ph.D.s than jobs, not to mention dwindling tenure-line appointments, this is hardly an attractive prospect.
So how do deans and department heads go about mentoring these young faculty who reveal an understandable fear of flying? How do we assist them in taming their anxieties about professional failure -- the angst that finds them clinging to the same work that, if unleashed upon the scholarly world, might very well enable them to succeed?
We suggest that allowing yourself to fail fast will improve your successful publication record. A fail-fast system is a computer system that is designed to immediately report a failure of any kind. It allows the quick repair and reset of a computer to make certain it will function better going forward. A tenure-track faculty member who is confronted by a loudly ticking tenure clock would benefit from the same responsiveness, because action most definitely beats inaction.
The fail-fast concept can be usefully applied to creative writing and the publication of scholarly articles and books. In our experience as academic leaders, we encourage scholars to embrace the mind-set that failing fast is the surest path to finding an audience for their work and ensuring success on the tenure track. We believe that embracing the power of failure marks the difference between why some academics succeed in producing a body of work and others don't.
So where do you begin? Well, for one thing, we strongly encourage young writers to start failing as soon as humanly possible. In the classic 1968 film The Lion in Winter, Katharine Hepburn's character, the immortal Eleanor of Aquitaine, utters the inconsolable line, "My losses are my work." In the writer's life, there are no truer words. Our losses are indeed our work.
In action-movie lore, our big-screen heroes often tell us that "failure is not an option." For writers trying to learn the ropes and find out what it will take for them to find their way in disciplines frequently highlighted by tradition, adherence to jargon and professional commonplaces, failure is an option worth adopting -- and if only so that young scholars can learn from their mistakes, not to mention the experience of dipping their toes in the adult pool of big-league academics.
It is often valuable to remind young academics that the tenure track transforms us all into working writers and managing editors -- no matter what their discipline happens to be. The sooner that we can embrace these roles, the better. We are working writers, first and foremost, because textual production and the advancement of our scholarly projects will stave off a lot of sleepless nights during those second-, fourth- and sixth-year reviews. That adage -- "a writer writes always" -- is just as true in the humanities as it is for scientists and social scientists alike.
Which brings us to the secondary role of every successful writer: becoming your own best managing editor. If you are willing to accept the premise of failing as fast as you possibly can, then you must find your inner scholarly editor, that person whose exacting approach to creating finished text allows you to keep those manuscripts pressing ever forward into the hands of journals and publishers. And as your own personal managing editor, you find your mettle by learning the ropes of your particular discipline in terms of organizing your scholarly projects, seeking out new and better venues for sharing your work, managing an array of deadlines, and learning how to follow up on the status of your work with the deftness of a true professional.
Since we've had some success publishing, we have been getting requests to share our process with other authors and academics. Recently, we went to a writers' conference, only to discover that while many people consider themselves to be writers, many of them haven't written much, much less published anything.
If you don't run, how can you call yourself a runner? Likewise, if you don't write, you are most certainly not a writer. And for professors on the tenure track, you can't count on your dissertation to see you through. All too often, we find that an inherent fear of failure and the quest for perfection keeps would-be writers from producing any work.
Fast-failing writing means advancing projects every day, even if what it is you are writing doesn't seem that good. You may be able to edit bad writing, but you can't edit a blank page. Sending out your work and receiving feedback is better than keeping a pristine manuscript on your desktop forever. Blogging concepts may also be a way to "rough draft" writing projects and, hence, test whether or not you can build them out. In this way, you can discover whether or not a given work has the necessary legs to stand on its own or whether it needs to be discarded -- for the moment or possibly for all time.
So if you are on the tenure track and in need of publications, here's our advice:
1. Advance your manuscript every day; ideally this means writing, but if a precious day goes by that includes gathering research material or thinking deeply about your project, then you've advanced it.
2. Send it to your journal editor or publisher because -- simply put -- action beats inaction on the tenure track, where forward progress is a clear measure of success.
3. Get ready to fail fast, revise and resubmit. Consider the feedback, use what you think is valuable and keep moving. Don't get hung up on the rejection. Remember: your losses are your work.
4. Repeat often as needed.
The best advice we ever received when we were on the tenure track was that to be successful, we needed to keep sending our research out. We needed to work feverishly to develop an audience. In short, you have to be ready to respond quickly -- or fail fast.
Because what is failure? Is it merely a temporary result or a protracted state of mind? Consider the words of playwright Samuel Beckett: "Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try again. Fail again. Fail better."
Oh, and be sure to fail as fast as you possibly can. Because the tenure clock ticks.

"Ugly Delicious"
Premieres Friday, February 23 on Netflix
Premieres Friday, February 23 on Netflix
Netflix is getting messy as they flip our understanding upside down of what a food docu-series should be with its new culinary phenomenon, UGLY DELICIOUS. From James Beard Award-Winning Chef David Chang (Momofuku) and Academy Award-winning producer Morgan Neville, comes a culinary experience that will challenge our taste buds and minds, as David continues to defy the status quo. Ugly Delicious does not play by the rules or expectations when it comes to delicious food, it creates them.
Chang, along with other renowned chefs, industry leaders and celebrity guests, including Jimmy Kimmel, Chef René Redzepi and legendary writer Ruth Reichl, come together to debate and define comfort food as a vehicle to discuss cultural and political issues around the world and explore the cultural traditions, flavors, and shared experiences that unite us all.
Throughout the docu-series, food is ultimately used as a bridge between different cultures, providing a way for others to relate to one another through shared life experiences through one important ingredient: food. More than just a food show, Ugly Delicious identifies ways to break down cultural barriers, tackle the misconceptions around food and its aesthetics, and bring to light the cultural traditions and stories that are often not told.
Over eight episodes, David travels the world with writers and chefs, activists and artists, who use food as a vehicle to break down cultural barriers, tackle misconceptions and uncover shared experiences. Ugly Delicious ventures out of polished kitchens into the wider world to explore Viet-Cajun cuisine in Houston, Neapolitan Pizza in Tokyo, home cooking in Copenhagen, and much more.

Pub divides opinion by serving GRAVY with their fry-ups… but would you tuck into the bizarre mash-up?
Bristol pub The Old Bookshop is responsible for the unusual mash-up, which sees ketchup and brown sauce thrown out the window in favour of good-old gravy
GRAVY and the full English breakfast are both Great British staples, but not normally together.
However, one pub has taken the bold step of serving their fry-ups with a hefty serving of gravy - and the controversial combination is apparently a hit.
Bristol pub The Old Bookshop is responsible for the unusual mash-up, which sees ketchup and brown sauce thrown out the window in favour of good-old gravy.
Foozie reports that the "Bookshop Breakfast" is a new feature on the boozer's brunch menu, served up with a jug of the brown stuff.
However, customers haven't just been drowning their fry-ups in any old gravy - no, that would be disgusting.
Instead, the pub has whipped up a special "breakfast gravy", designed to accompany your fried egg and baked beans.
And, according to Foozie, the unlikely sauce works with a full English.
Food writer Thom Whitchurch said: " I'll admit that pouring gravy over an egg did twist my melon at first, but I got over it pretty quick."
The breakfast will set you back £9.50, coming with bacon, sausage, egg, bubble & squeak, baked beans, mushrooms and those all-important lashings of breakfast gravy.
In a clip from inside the pub, a hungry customer can be seen drowning their breakfast in gravy, although not everyone is impressed.

Found on the eastern side of the Trinity River, the city of Grand Prairie is known for its motto, "Dream Big, Play Hard." The fact that it lies between Dallas and Fort Worth makes Grand Prairie all the more famous not only among Texans but among tourists as well.
The place now known as Grand Prairie came to be when Alexander McRae Dechman bought the land to the east of the Trinity River in order to set up camp where he can trade his oxen and wagon. Today, Grand Prairie is more known for such scenic spots as the Lone Star Park, where the Thoroughbred Meeting is held annually; the GPX Skate Park located right next to the Lone Star Park, the Prairie Lights, and the Uptown Theater.
In order to take in all of this, it would be wise of you to make sure that you book yourself in any of the Grand Prairie TX hotels. One such Grand Prairie TX motel that you might want to consider is the Comfort Suites Grand Prairie.
Comfort Suites brings the word "comfort" to a new level with such amenities as use of cable/satellite TV, free wireless high-speed Internet connection, free local calls, and free hot breakfast. Each of the rooms also come equipped with iron and ironing board, microwave oven, hair dryer, coffee maker, and in-room desk.

A few students made my day today. It was Friday afternoon, and I was in "finish up" mode. We needed to reflect, read, finish several projects we finished…Too much to do and so little time.
And one of my students came to me and wanted free time. I took a breath and started saying how I didn't think we had time for that, but she cut in and said: "Well, my friends and I started this project where we're going to make blankets and give them to an animal shelter, and we want to finish our pamphlets."
I stopped. I looked at her and smiled. Where did this come from? I asked her.
"I'm really into dogs," she said. "And yesterday we watched that video about kids doing something about their passion, and we got the idea we could do something too."
I wrote that one down quickly. Really?
We started our official launch into Exhibition. Our Exhibition in grade 5 at YIS is about passion and how passion leads to lifelong learning. Yesterday we did some front-loading by watching a fantastic video about kids who were so driven by their passion to play soccer that they built themselves their own field–on top of docks. She and her friends were inspired by the video she said.
Here's the video:
We had a discussion afterwards about the difference between passion and things you like. Kids listed off things like passion is something that:
- Starts small and gets bigger and more important
- Is something you start and you keep at it and become better and better
- It's challenging and you want to take on new challenges
- It's something that you persevere at.
The girls in my class then spent time in the library at lunch creating a pamphlet, looking up the shelter and presenting it to our class and others. Completely self-initiated action. Amazing.
I told the girl that I was awed by her initiative. She thanked me after class for giving her time to work more on her pamphlet and for pulling her into the other class to talk about her action.
It's only the second day of Exhibition. I can't wait to see where this leads. And, I'll make sure to not assume "free time" means they're going to all play computer games. 🙂

There have been numerous cases of infants and young children being left unattended in recent weeks in the Victor Valley, but authorities warn that school-aged children must also be supervised by an adult.
"Just because they are a little older does not mean they can completely care for themselves," Karen Hunt, spokeswoman for the San Bernardino County Sheriff 's Victorville station, said.
Charlene Mitchell, 51, of Victorville, was arrested for child endangerment and child abandonment over the weekend when her 10-year-old daughter began to choke on a piece of candy after the girl was left home alone with her 7-year-old sister, authorities said.
There was no phone in the apartment in the 16000 block of Jasmine Street and the two girls had to seek help from the complex's manager Saturday afternoon, Hunt said.

ARLINGTON – It seemed like Michael Young would have to celebrate reaching 2,000 career hits with a loss.
But the Texas Rangers rallied for the second time in three nights, pulling away for a 5-3 victory over the Cleveland Indians on Sunday night at Rangers Ballpark in Arlington.
With the victory, the Rangers (64-51) maintained their one-game lead over the Angels in the American League West.
Texas scored all five of its runs in the eighth, overcoming a 3-0 deficit.

The first six Rangers reached base that inning, starting with Mike Napoli drawing a walk and Mitch Moreland singling to center off Indians starter Josh Tomlin. Cleveland then brought in reliever Joe Smith, who didn't record an out.
Yorvit Torrealba and pinch-hitter David Murphy had RBI singles, and Ian Kinsler brought in a run drawing a bases-loaded walk. The Rangers then took a 4-3 lead with a two-run single by Elvis Andrus. With Smith out and Rafael Perez in for the Indians, Josh Hamilton extended the lead to 5-3 with an RBI groundout.
And, a night after Neftali Feliz blew his sixth save of the season, Mike Adams earned his first American League save, throwing a perfect ninth.
Still, the star of the night was Young, who picked up hit No. 2,000 with an infield single in the seventh. He had an infield hit in the fifth, too.
Young became the 11th fastest player in major league history in the modern era (since 1900) to reach 2,000 hits, needing only 1,621 games to accomplish the feat.
For most of the game, though, Tomlin looked like he would steal the show. The former Texas Tech pitcher threw seven scoreless innings before running into trouble in the eighth. He ended up allowing two runs on four hits with three walks and four strikeouts over seven-plus innings.
Rangers starter Colby Lewis went 7 1/3 innings, allowing three runs on five hits with a walk and three strikeouts.

What with success at Blackbird, Avec and the Publican, it would seem that the last thing Paul Kahan needed to do was to open was a taco stand. But necessity isn't always the mother of culinary invention, which means you can now enjoy tacos filled with braised pork shoulder, braised pork belly, crispy potatoes and rajas, beer battered tilapia and marinated chicken thighs, all with the Paul Kahan imprimatur on them. Add "delicious cocktails" to the mix and you end up with "awesome value and vibe at this somewhat hipster" hangout." The late hours mean it's filled with industry people after they get off of work.

As Cape York is named by the traditional owners is an awe inspiring place. Although, as you can see below, it is very picturesque, what left the deepest impression on me were the plaques like the one pictured, that are placed in the rocks of the headland. Trevor dreamed all his life of visiting the Cape but judging from the inscription, he and many others never got around to it. I may be reading it wrong and I hope I am.
I must admit that Pajinka was never high on my bucket list but reading there memorials made me think about mine. Will I ever get around to visiting Machu Picchu or cycle around Tierra del Fuego?
How about something much easier, Angkor Wat? I have been a few hours drive away several times and have always had something more important to do. How many times have I been to New Delhi and not made the effort to see the Taj Mahal?
We are not immortal and living our dreams must be the first priority.
Cable Beach
But let me start at the beginning. Due to our extended swim at fruit bat falls we didn't get to Bamaga until mid afternoon. I hadn't booked any accommodation and decided just to drive to Punsand Bay camping. Surely they would have something. Nope, but the owner was nice enough to direct us to a Bush camping spot not far away. Since there were no signs, just a red rag tied to a tree, there was still a spot vacant. School holidays.
The camping was rough, no facilities, but the location was quite special.
Dawn the next morning.
A few hours later we arrived at the tip.
The most northern Trees in Australia?
We were told not to swim anywhere around the cape as there is a 19 foot Crocodile called Gary who patrols these beaches. Nina just accidentally "fell" in the water and it took her a while to regain her footing.
And this is the photo which cost us two magnificent fresh Crayfish. A local man had sold them to us just a few minutes before. I placed them on our esky when the sunset was pointed out to me. I rushed to take the photo and in the few minutes I was away from our tent a dog pinched them. It is a nice picture but hardly worth the Cray's.
We are now back in Laura after spending a night in Coen again. The Car suffered a broken rear spring and we had to wait until the next afternoon to get it fixed. Wrong part, long wait, exhorbitant price but we got back on the road and made Laura just in time to have dinner before the State of Origin decider which ended in humiliation for NSW :D
I may add more pictures at another time and a faster connection. Meanwhile we need to check out of the Laura Hotel and visit Split Rock, another rock art site.

The Fitbit Charge HR is the ultimate tracking device. I'd tried the majority of fitness devices and smart watches on the market but none do it as well as the Fitbit Charge HR. It measures steps, distance, calories burned, floor climbed and the time. It's safe to say that Fitbit have had the majority of these things covered for a very long time and none of them disappoint in Fitbit's latest device.
The Charge HR also uses Fitbit's PurePulse which provides continuous heart rate tracking. I've been waiting to see how this device performs in this category for a long time and I have to say it blew me out of the water. Heart rate monitoring is instant and it tracks in real-time based on how much you're exerting yourself. It's safe to say that Fitbit had all other bases covered and this is just another thing that the company can tick off the list.
It provides accurate information about how quick heart rate should be based on your weight. There are 3 different zones which include Fat Burn, Cardio and Peak. You're able to start a workout by holding down the button. You can end your workout by holding out the button. At this time you'll be presented with how long you spent in each zone which will calculate a more accurate calorie burn reading.

All participants in this session are researchers on the New England Sustainability Consortium's Safe Beaches and Shellfish Project. By mobilizing interdisciplinary research capacity across multiple universities in Maine and New Hampshire, the Safe Beaches and Shellfish Project aims to improve the scientific basis for decision-making to support safe beaches and shellfish consumption. Consistent with this over-arching goal, researchers are actively collaborating with diverse beach stakeholders to improve the alignment between ongoing science and the information and decision-making needs of stakeholders. These talks draw attention to the importance of connections among beaches, social and economic processes, watershed processes, and risks from exposure to microbial pathogens in coastal waters. Our session will begin with a brief overview of the project and six short talks and will then transition into a panel discussion of the project's over-arching research program. We welcome the opportunity to engage with attendees at the 2015 Maine Beaches Conference.

About VT Coalition Building:
The most powerful force for creating positive influence on campus is the voices of students. The more student voices that are united for a cause the more good work we can get accomplished by working constructively, thoughtfully, and professionally with the Virginia Tech Administration. We are young adults attending Virginia Tech, a prestigious university in the United States of America with access to all resources necessary to make positive change. We might hold the most power than all other people on the face of the planet. It is our responsibility to recognize this and act to create the future for ourselves and for the billions to live around the planet. We must first only have the willpower to do something, to make our campus more sustainable, and to be the leaders that set the example.
The students of the Campus Coalition for Sustainability believe there is nothing more important they could possibly be doing. Through untiring commitment, good luck, and the power of an idea whose time has come, together we can succeed. Environmental degradation and social inequality are deeply connected. To stop the environmental crisis we must too address social ills like poverty, war, racism, sexism, and unrestricted capital growth. To accomplish these many environmental issues we must network with other campus groups to become a unified student voice for all the important work we are doing. This network was created to bring students together to share ideas, tactics and support.
We believe campaigns and programs should be decided upon democratically and there should be a want to hear everyone's ideas and criticisms. But Democracy only works when everyone participates and there is good structure and good communication. The Environmental Coalition's office position of Coalition Representative has the duty to democratically build and oversee coalition efforts. The campus groups who have become a part of this coalition have the responsibility to share their projects with the coalition and to communicate other coalition projects to their respective club members. This coalition exists because of the thousands of individuals and groups whose daily activity is the life-blood of the student environmental-movement to win progressive social influence.

Cooking For Dummies
Bar B-Que Chicken Soup for the Soul
Here's a little article borne of frustration a few months ago....
I'm a terrible cook. I'd like to pretend I'm not, but anyone who knows me would know I was lying. I made some homemade chicken soup last night. It was quite an accomplishment for a lousy cook.
Rotisserie chicken leftovers, check. Carrots, check. Celery, check. I boiled the chicken, took it off the bones, and threw it into the Crockpot. Chop, chop, chop, here come the celery and carrots. I had my kid put in the spices. (it's safer that way). Now it's simmering. Mmmm,. …wait, I'm not "mmm"ing?
What smells so funny?
Dagnabbit. It was BBQ chicken. I made BBQ chicken soup last night. Yep. Bar Bee Que.
That's what I get for ignoring the hamburger helper.
The microwave is much nicer than the stove or the oven. The microwave is my friend. When I peel the cover back and stick the container into the microwave for the allotted 1 1/2 minutes, it doesn't burn. It doesn't boil over. It doesn't mock me. It tastes like crap, but it's exactly what I expect.
I think people who can cook should live in a commune-completely away from people who cannot. They make us feel bad. They should live together and cook things, package them in cardboard containers and sell them to those of us who cannot cook. Then we can take them, put them in the microwave and pretend we can cook. Kind of like I do now... I wonder if Stouffers is a commune?
There should be cookbooks for the cooking-challenged population. Ones where there is a list of ingredients, followed by the 10 or 20 things you can make with these ingredients. I always forget something, or worse, I'll come home with all these things to make things , and not remember what things I was going to make. Very frustrating.
I need a list of stuff. Easy stuff. Stuff you can buy at the grocery store, not stuff you have to call your friends in New York to get. Not stuff you have to go to the organic section (shudder) or the health food store. I don't know what cilantro is and I couldn't begin to tell you where to find Neufchatel cheese. It's probably next to the cilantro.
Sometimes, I like to pretend I can cook. I'll put a bunch of fresh fruits and vegetables in my cart. I may even throw in a few spices I've never heard of and wander around the store feeling virtuous. Then I get home. Half the fruit gets eaten, the vegetables become compost, and the spices get thrown to the back of the cabinet where they stay in darkness until they expire.
My daughter just asked if I would try to make stuffed peppers for dinner. When I finished laughing, and realized she was serious, I looked up the recipe. It calls for a can of whole tomatoes chopped.
Here's the thing. Do I chop the can? Do I chop the tomatoes? Why can't I buy a can of already chopped tomatoes? Are there food recipie people that will come to my home and throw me in a commune for bad cookers if I take the easy way out? Maybe I'll get an award for forward thinking and doing what I can to avoid sharp objects!
I'm confused before I begin to shop , let alone cook. Now that think about it, I'm pretty sure she meant to say, "can you try and make frozen pizza?" Or was it "can you try and call to get take out from Pizza Hut?"
Don't judge me. It could be worse. I have BBQ chicken soup in the freezer!
Anything "berry", banana, peach, pear, apple (if soft)...Stay with me here, Avacado and Grapefruit, not so much. Keep to the 101 program. We'll get all fancy shmantsty later.
Tastes as good as it sounds. discovered it at a wedding when I was thirteen, first real buzz, and first hangover...
Ladies, ladies, there is a MUCH better solution.
Just before fruit goes ripe stick it in a blender. Add thick whipping cream, some crushed ice and a glass of sweet white wine. Put into little cups and chill. Trust me you will worship the ground I walk on...
(The stuff is called a syllabub)
Haha...I can so identify with the *feeling virtuous* buying the fruit and vegetables, but as I said in Chris's hub...you have to eat them and not let them rot in the fridge to be truly virtuous.
I have to say, that Susan does not lie. I am her momma and I recall the children arguing over who was going to cook Thanksgiving Dinner (please... not Mom!) So she comes by it naturally. Sorry hon.
But she is an excellent writer.
Might make some good hubs, but the hubbers on the cooking sites intimidate me...
I'm worrying about the mind meld thing. We both write about similar topics on the same day...
You know this is all about confidence, not ability don't you?
Good cooks got good after many errors (peas on toast) but beware the uber-cooks, the ones with all the rules, the authors of "whole tomatoes chopped."It's a club with "keep you out by intimidation" rules.
Got another EZ dish for you,
Cheese on toast (also known in the UK as Welsh Rarebit or Rabbit)with a savory sweet twist by me.
Big bowl - dump in shredded cheese (if green discard, call for pizza) add dollop of mayonaise and smaller dollop of mustard (English = really spicy, French= more flavorful, American = milder, kids would like) and a dollop of honey (really, go ahead.)
Stick finger in and taste. Too savory, add honey, too sweet add mustard, when it tastes good to you, put on bread and toast.
Promise you it tastes great.
LOL! good read...I can cook but sometimes I also gets confused about the whole and the chopped thingy..Like the sliced pineapple and the crushed pineapple. I guess they just add to the food presentation, but the taste is still the same.
Nice hub... makes alot of cooking challenged people feel comfortable. Funny too!
you are so funny and I bet you can cook
You're starting to make sense to me and that makes me feel good about myself! LOL! I cook pretty good but I can never create the same dish twice in the same fashion...something about that recipe stuff just ruins the excitement of cooking for me. Thanks for a fun read! WB

This message is in code, make no attempt to decipher it
Quote from: daruko on May 29, 2008, 06:08:28 amI'd rather just wait a few years for full immersion virtual reality.for the fifth time, it's already there for two decades, and nobody wants it. i've used it, coded some apps for it and it's boring as fuck.maybe glue yourself to a couch and swallow some shrooms and zap yourself some full immersion TV if you need it so badly?
I'd rather just wait a few years for full immersion virtual reality.
That will be mankind's last invention.
We need people to be dealing with their present reality in a more effective & constructive way. Unless this technology actually achieved some educational or medical purpose it'll be a bust. Maybe that's why it's been around for 20+ years and no one cares.
i don't think you understand what i mean by "full immersion".take a look around the room you're in. that's full immersion.
Mang- I think it would lead to much more than replication of our current reality. And while I agree with your point about humanity's stupidity, I'm far too much of an optimist and an idealist to not hope that we would do something good for a change. I mean, when I look at what the internet is today...it's certainly got a bunch of crap in it. But it's also chock full of good things, and just the availability of information and communication is phenomenal. That simple thing is leading to exponential leaps in technology and education. Which also means that we don't need to put vast amounts of resources into it. Those who are interested in it, will be able to hook up with others who have the same interests, and they can put their heads together, while leaving the rest of society to do other things.
you know the reason why i think VR is stupid?i can already build my own communication channels.i can webcam with you (video)i can skype with you (phone-over-internet)i can teamspeak with you and others (conference call-over-internet)but if we were to communicate, one-on-one, simple text IM (MSN/AIM/etc) is most efficient! have you ever skyped (or VOIPed) with someone you don't know? webcammed? someone you did know? how did that work out? if they were not your girlfriend? how much useful information did you exchange?now compare to IM, how much useful info did you exchange there?next up, IRC. tremendously useful, no matter what TGRR says, the amount of stuff we coordinated there, the brainstorming we do, the social cohesion it creates, invaluable. (i forgive TGRR though, i understand his reservations, but IRC served me very well)adding to that, forums. even better, forums got non linear time! you don't get that in skype, webcam or VR!

Madness: Young Songwriter is Delighted by Famous Fan
Tom Grennan has admitted it feels "pretty mad" to have Sir Elton as a fan.
The singer can't quite get his head around the pop legend "appreciating" his music, but explained while it is a huge deal, he is trying to stay grounded.
Appearing on online music TV show Red Stripe Presents: This Feeling TV, he said: "It's pretty mad. I'm just a boy from Bedford who grew up in a normal life. So it's humbling and unusual. Especially Elton John.
The 23-year-old released his debut album Lighting Matches earlier this month.

Pennsic Traceable Art Project
This project was begun as a response to the volume of heraldic art being sought every year at the consult table at Pennsic. Our heraldic artists were being worked overtime and then some, often on the same common charges.
The charges you'll find here are compiled mostly from their work. Many artists contributed, and this is not intended to replace any of them. But hopefully it will be a useful tool for those heralds unfortunate enough to not have a local heraldic artist or for consult tables where the submitters greatly outnumber the artists.
This is obviously not a comprehensive catalogue of charges, and it never will be. It is a reasonably large selection of many common charges, and it will continue to be updated with new charges (hopefully twice a year). And I look forward to any suggestions you have for how this project can be improved.
An online Table of Contents is available. Each entry is linked to a pdf file of the page for just that charge.

Plans for DIT to include gender neutral toilets in the new Grangegorman campus have been met with praise, but some students are concerned that there are no such facilities in other DIT campuses.
The new campus will include accessible toilets in each of the buildings, and all future buildings on the new campus will also have gender neutral toilets as well as traditional toilets.
David Beattie, a second year Journalism student based in the Aungier Street campus, who is currently in the process of gender transitioning, says that students should feel comfortable while attending their present designated campus.

In Her Company: The Woman-led Entrepreneurial Groundswell/
A few weeks ago, we were approached by Take Part Media to participate in a video series on women entrepreneurs, produced in tandem with Eileen Fisher. It was an out-of-the-blue kind of thing (and to this day we don't know how they found us), but what an honor it is to not only be included, but to have made the teaser trailer!
Alex is the one with the pink hair. Of course.
Currently there is a real groundswell of women in business who are not only smart, driven and talented, but are supporting and helping each other. Growing up, I was most used to the archetype of the successful woman as a cold and jealous type who sees other women as competition and delights in cutting them down. Sigourney Weaver in Working Girl, Meryl Streep in The Devil Wears Prada. You know the deal. But now there is a new, mature model at play, one that draws strength from encouraging and supporting other ladies, and is changing the face of business as it goes along.
Eileen Fisher would be one. And it seems like they are popping out of the woodwork lately. There are the awesome ladies of the Women In Toys group, several of whom Alex encountered at the World Congress of Play. And as I write this, Alex is in Washington attending the White House Briefing with Women Business Leaders, after having been invited by Business Forward and the National Women's Business Council.
What does a world look like where women support and contribute to each others' endeavors? I think we are starting to find out.

Currently we have many requests to support customers in running PostgreSQL in Docker containers. Some of those use redhat OpenShift as the management platform for their Docker deployments. Setting up an OpenShift cluster requires quite some resources and is nothing you want to do on your workstation usually. To overcome that you can use MiniShift which launches a one node OpenShift cluster which you can use for testing. Setting that up is quite easy.
Obviously MiniShift needs to be downloaded. I'll be running MiniShift on my workstation and will use VirtualBox as the Hypervisor for Minishift:
dwe@box:~$ sudo mkdir /opt/minishift [sudo] password for dwe: dwe@box:~$ sudo chown dwe:dwe /opt/minishift dwe@box:~$ cd /opt/minishift dwe@box:/opt/minishift$ wget https://github.com/minishift/minishift/releases/download/v1.16.1/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64.tgz dwe@box:/opt/minishift$ tar -axf minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64.tgz dwe@box:/opt/minishift$ cd minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64/ dwe@box:/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64$ export PATH=/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64:$PATH dwe@box:/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64$ minishift config set vm-driver virtualbox No Minishift instance exists. New 'vm-driver' setting will be applied on next 'minishift start'
Now MiniShift can be started:
dwe@box:/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64$ minishift start
The output should look similar to this:
-- Starting profile 'minishift' -- Checking if https://github.com is reachable (using proxy: "No") ... OK -- Checking if requested OpenShift version 'v3.9.0' is valid ...

You should also see a new VM in VirtualBox:
As we will need the oc binary to work with OpenShift we need to add that to the PATH:
dwe@box:/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64$ minishift oc-env export PATH="/home/dwe/.minishift/cache/oc/v3.9.0/linux:$PATH" # Run this command to configure your shell: # eval $(minishift oc-env) dwe@box:/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64$ eval $(minishift oc-env) dwe@box:/opt/minishift/minishift-1.16.1-linux-amd64$ which oc
And we are ready to use OpenShift:
oc login -u system:admin Logged into "https://192.168.99.100:8443" as "system:admin" using existing credentials. You have access to the following projects and can switch between them with 'oc project ': default * edb kube-public kube-system myproject openshift openshift-infra openshift-node openshift-web-console Using project "edb".
The web interface is up and running is well:
… we could already start and deploy a PostgreSQL container but this is the topic for the next post. To stop MiniShift:
dwe@box:~$ minishift stop Stopping local OpenShift cluster... Cluster stopped.
Hope that helps.

Gonzaga women face Tar Heels
It's the kind of matchups teams like Gonzaga crave - a name program on a neutral court.
That's the first take on the Bulldogs' NCAA Tourmanet bracket, a chance to play North Carolina.
But wait, Gonzaga is the higher seed, the Tar Heels having stumbled in the second half of the seed are were definitely a bubble team, landing a 10 seed to face No. 7 Gonzaga.
But wait some more, the game is in Seattle Saturday night and there's a good chance, especially with the Gonzaga men getting shipped to Buffalo, N.Y., for a Friday game, the women will feel like they're playing a home game. They definitely excited about it. The unedited story I filed for tomorrow's paper is below.
Eastern Washington (19-11) plays at Oregon (16-15) on Thursday in the WNIT. The two teams met in Eugene the first week of the season with the Ducks rolling 86-48. Oregon's coach is Paul Westhead, who coached in the NBA and WNBA as well as the high-flying Loyola Marymount teams of Hank Gathers-Bo Kimble fame.
By Dave Trimmer
email@example.com; (509) 927-2154
None of the season-long prognosticators ever penciled Gonzaga into the
Senior forward Vivian Frieson never lost faith.
"I watch a lot of college basketball and it pops up, 'Women's basketball, NCAA Tournament, Round 1, Round 2 in
Her faith was rewarded when the NCAA Tournament bracket was revealed Monday afternoon with Gonzaga headed to
The Bulldogs reacted to the announcement as if they were a bubble team barely sneaking into the tournament, not the 18th-ranked team in the country with an 18-game winning streak and 27-4 record.
"I'm really, really excited," junior point guard Courtney Vandersloot, who is from
GU coach Kelly Graves said, "I honestly didn't think we could get it again. I think the NCAA is still trying to put teams regionally, where it makes sense."
The Bulldogs even go in as the seventh-seed with traditional power
"I thought that was about right,"
The Tar Heels were ranked No. 5 in the preseason, started 5-0 and was 13-1 when things began to fall apart. They tied for seventh in the Atlantic Coast Conference with a 6-8 record and finished the season 2-8.
"Obviously we have struggled at times this season but I think our best basketball is still ahead of us," UNC coach Sylvia Hatchell said.
"I don't know a whole lot about
"I'm sure they are a very talented team, they have a lot of weapons. What really matters is how they play in this tournament, how they're playing right now."
"I think it will be a good contest," Frieson said. "When I was a freshman we played UNC in
"We'll be expecting their pressure and their up-tempo game. That's the kind of game we play, too."
Hatchell, who is in the Hall of Fame, has been at UNC for 24 seasons and has more than 800 victories in her 35 seasons of coaching, including a national championship in 1994.
Her 2006-07 team started the season with a school record 24-straight wins, including a 101-63 win over Gonzaga and finished with a record 34 wins in reaching the Final Four.
"That was a forgettable game,"
"I saw them a couple of weeks ago. They're the same, long, athletic. They change defenses, just a variety of stuff."
The Bulldogs will be counting on a big, partisan crowd at the
"It really did help a lot," Vandersloot said. "This was a team that didn't have success in the past in the NCAA Tournament but to be able to play in front of some of our greatest fans and family, it gave us that confidence. I think that's going to be a factor again this year."
If the Bulldogs were to beat North Carolina and either of the two opponents they faced in December, Texas A&M, which they lost to 80-76, or Portland State, which they beat 64-57, they could face Xavier again. The Muskateers are the third-seed with a 27-3 record and ranked fifth in the country. That game would be in the Sacramento Regional, which has Stanford as the No. 1 seed.

Social networking giant Facebook recently surpassed Wikipedia as the fourth largest Web site in the world while micro-blogging powerhouse, Twitter, reportedly handled 5,000 tweets per minute when the king-of-pop passed. These announcements have businesses scrambling to social Web sites like they were, well, the Holy Grail of marketing success.
Here's the thing about finding the Holy Grail: what do you do once you've found it? Companies large and small, although excited over the promise of social marketing, often have no idea what to do in this new and unfamiliar space.
Certainly, there is no shortage of social marketing gurus, experts and even ninjas (yes ninjas), but you can't rely solely on these social Sherpa's to achieve true success in your social quest.
A good or even average social media consultant can help you traverse an unforgiving social terrain by creating a sound social media strategy and implementing best practices.
However, you can only be catapulted to success if you have something worth flinging into the air.
Success is imminent when you realize that the knowledge necessary to succeed, no matter the marketing vehicle, comes from within. You have intimate knowledge of your offerings. You understand your customer's wants and needs as they relate to your services.
Most importantly, you know how to speak to a customer, and that is what will ultimately deliver success in the social space.
Let the gurus obsess over the perfect formula of Re-Tweets to Tweets and which shortened URL gets clicked the most. You need to spend more time strategizing the creation of valuable dialogue.
Study your customer's wants and needs, misconceptions and objections, then create shareable contributions that educate and subtly entice. Contributing, educating and subtly enticing – sounds a lot like selling. Despite popular opinion selling is not a bad thing.
There is nothing wrong with using social media to attract and convert customers, just learn to sell in a friendly non-disruptive way. Learn to join the conversation as opposed to interrupting it. You have to sell without selling.
You may be asking, how do you sell without selling? Let me share a little secret with you: it's not so much a secret as an often overlooked resource.
I'm frequently asked to recommend books on social marketing. There's no shortage of books about the intricacies of Facebook and Twitter, but the greatest book ever written on achieving success in the social space was written 70+ years ago.
In my opinion, Dale Carnegie's "How to Win Friends and Influence People" is the Holy Grail, the secret to social nirvana. This book teaches you to speak, think and write with the intent to persuade. Carnegie's book teaches you to think like a customer and provide value in order to evoke a desired outcome.
Social websites and ninjas come and go. When you master the skills to think like a customer and subtly entice, your next quest for marketing's Holy Grail will be a short crusade. You'll only need to look inside yourself.
