Flare 101 Carbon, Windsurfing Jahrbuch (Germany), 2013
The Flare is our fully dedicated freestyle board, developed by the world's best freestyle team. They pop air easily and respond to a rider's move instantaneously. The Flares are fast in acceleration and feel compact and light in sliding and aerial maneuvers. For 2014, we introduced 3 new models: 81, 91 and 101 with a thicker tail, a flatter deck and an unique and specific Drake Ready to Freestyle fin. These new Flares are more forgiving, easier to control and balance while providing more pop and lift.
The following test was featured in the 2013 annual edition of Windsurf Jahrbuch! Four dedicated freestyle boards were tested and here is what came out.
Starboard Flare 101 Carbon: "Freestyling on automatic"
Length: 227 cm
Sail range: 5.0m² – 6.8m²
The Flare is Starboard's pure freestyle board. In 2014, some changes have been made within the range: an 81-liter Flare is introduced to replace the Flare 60 and the Flare 72. The Flare 91 and 101 have been revamped with many key innovations. For example, the Flare 101 has seen its tail get thicker, making the board more forgiving in sliding moves while providing more pop and grip. Additionally, the Flare now has a flatter deck for better balance when not planing. The mast track has been moved back by 3 centimeters for extra lift and the foot straps inserts have been moved forward for a higher stance. A new Vee bottom configuration comes from the iSonics and gives the Flares their speed. Three insert options are offered for the front footstrap and two are offered for the back strap. The board comes with a specific and unique Drake Ready to Freestyle 18 cm polyester fin fitted in the new Slot Box 4.0.
On the Water:
Although Starboard's completely new shape loses a bit of ground against the best boards of the test in terms of early planing, the Flare compensates with a strong acceleration, pushing faster and faster. While the Flare 101 requires an active rider in light-wind conditions, the narrower shape is efficient and easily controllable in choppy and stronger wind conditions. In these conditions, you hardly will find a better board in our test!
As soon as you get in the footstraps, you immediately feel the difference on your back leg compared to all other boards: the deck shape is extremely rounded. Why do we mention this detail here? This specific shape feature automatically rotates the leg when landing a move, which forces almost automatically the board into another extra rotation. Because of this feature, intricate moves like Futures, Burners 720° and most double moves are easier to land while on the Starboard than on any other board.
Thanks to the "bullet-nose", the top speed is very impressive. Combining that speed with great popping ability, the Starboard offers everything you need to pop and land the modern power moves. The Flare 101 is not always as easy as the other freestyle boards but all the sliding moves will go in without problems, provided that the rider weights the board correctly. In terms of carving, the Starboard, like all other freestyle boards in this test and in general, has its problems: it's probably easier to pop a Flaka than to slice through a carving 360°.
The completely revised version of the Flare is great for power moves. Advanced freestylers and pros will love the new Flare! If Kiri Thode won the 2013 PWA Freestyle World Title on that board, there must be something special! Keep in mind however that the Starboard requires good windsurfing skills. Those looking to get into freestyle will need to concentrate a bit more. But as soon as you have made your first steps in freestyle, you should be very happy with the Flare: efficient and forgiving.

The Restless Pilgrim
by Emil McAvoy
May 2017
Watch out, you might get what you're after
Cool, babies! Strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house
Hold tight, wait till the party's over
Hold tight, we're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house
Here's your ticket, pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire
Talking Heads
Burning Down the House
Sometimes you just need to burn it down and leave town. Get on the road and go looking for yourself. At least until the dust settles.
Contemporary pilgrimages also provide passage through inner landscapes. A chance to remember and forget. They offer rituals connecting the mythical journeys of the ancients to the urgencies of the present. Bridging the seen and unseen, they sustain the symbolic pursuit of authenticity. Art as an experience.
Artist Elliot Collins makes broad, contemplative pilgrimages in his own country, roaming widely and finding moments of significance in abundance. If there is a recklessness in this activity, it is perhaps found in a commitment to the poetics of indeterminate wandering. As Collins suggests, it is "a journey, not
journey." If it were the journey it would likely constitute tourism, or enacting someone else's concept of travel.
Pilgrimages offer interventions in the often slow, predictable progression of our everyday lives: a break from ordinary work, routine and the linear experience of time. Artists' often unconventional ways of seeing things make them fitting candidates to embark on pilgrimages to places of significance; to re-imagine such sites and the expeditions to visit them, to explore the fringes of the world and alternative ways of being in it. From the wanderings of the nineteenth century flaneur to the Situationists' psycho-geographical derive, artists have long made movements more focussed on the journey than the destination. In some ways pilgrimages can be likened to art-making: as excursions in to the unknown, where intuition, intellect and improvisation can act as navigational skills within uncharted territories. Of course, you don't have to set fire to anything before you embark, but it may catalyse and hasten your departure.
Collins' exhibition title references Surrealist Rene Magritte's painting
The Reckless Sleeper
(1928), and though on the surface the association appears loose or opaque, Magritte's sleeping figure and the apparent content of his dreams provide a range of interpretive links. Signs of conventional social expectations embodied in the bowler hat and ribbon are contrasted with more ambiguous and historically loaded symbols, such as the lit candle, mirror, apple and bird. The symbols are grouped together without hierarchy on what appears to be a stylised gravestone. Magritte may be suggesting it is the sleeper's dreams which might prove reckless, or simply the act of dreaming itself.
The automobile is a loaded symbol of, among other concepts, dreams of social mobility, freedom and escape. Collins'
(2017), a customised 1986 Toyota Hilux truck, appears centre stage in this exhibition as both a vehicle for creative pilgrimages and an art object in its own right. Riffing on the license plate (which begins with 'SZ') and semiologist Roland Barthes' text
, Collins' numerous alterations transform this vehicle-as-found-object in to a rich semiotic container for potential meaning.
The exterior of Collins' well-worn truck is augmented with
Dark Night
(2017), a handmade stained-glass rear window, and a poem painted on the wooden deck. The stained-glass window of
Dark Night
is reminiscent of an abstracted McCahon landscape, and shapes the quality and colour of light which surrounds and passes through it. The painted poem was written by Collins on the road. Its glowing yellow text set on the wooden deck reminds me of McCahon's reference to the 'Hairdresser and Tobacconist' typography he saw painted on the glass of a shop window in his travels, alongside Ian Scott's eponymous, somewhat ironic piece from 1988.
Inside the truck's cab, a video work,
Bodies of Water (passed under, over, through and around)
, 2014-17 (2017), loops on an iPhone lying on the passenger seat, alongside
The Company of Travellers
(2017), a collection of kowhai seeds that fills the centre console. Bodies of Water was compiled from five years of footage, and explores his personal voyages in relation to histories and mythologies of water, which, like the artist, are always moving somewhere else. Collins' kowhai seeds offer another container for meaning: the kernel of an idea, and the real dispersal of living memory gathered on the move.
The poetically augmented truck finds a parallel in
gathered close in silence
(2017), a suite of digital photographs and monochromes of stained-glass set in black frames which are butted together, akin to the thick lead filament of a stained-glass window composition. The photographs record fragments of the truck and are overlaid with lines of Collins' poetry, their yellow letters reminiscent of cinematic titles, internet memes (the work was first released sequentially on Instagram), and painted yellow road markings.
The artist's self-titled word paintings draw on diverse influences and conflate a range of styles and citations. They are rendered in oil on linen, drawing on the history and gravitas of Western traditions. However, their underpainting in 'pop' colours such as pale pink, red, cadmium yellow, lilac, and sky blue complicates their apparent seriousness, and problematize conventional readings of the texts which appear on their surface. They engage rhetorical and literary strategies which open a range of associations, questions and mental images. In a nod to the pithy one-liners of Ed Ruscha's cool conceptualism, Collins' paintings appear at once sincere, ironic, neither and both.
(2017) appears as a rhetorical question, a statement and a set of instructions. Similarly,
(2017) can be seen to reflect on painting's historical role as a cultural artefact, alongside artists' attempts to enter art history. Fittingly, their Obelisk font, designed by Alistair McCready, is used in gravestones and memorials. In counterpoint, the accompaniment of Collins' feathery, gestural brush strokes in bright pigments appear to negate these lofty and potentially solemn concerns in a light-hearted way. This tension between surface and depth, humour and pensiveness underpin his practice. There are moments which are seriously funny.
Collins clearly enjoys pushing painting around. The colourful markings in these works may evoke numerous references, from the animated strokes of the Post-Impressionists, the chunky viscosity of Abstract Expressionism, to the more self-referential, cerebral strokes of Robert Ryman. In the context of travel, Collins' paintings may also suggest dappled light glimpsed through the trees, caught in peripheral vision while travelling at speed down a rural road, echoed in the words
Paintings are constructed from Collins' repurposed canvas drop sheets, complete with aberrations and previous paint marks visible on their unpainted sides. In a range of domestic interior paint colours, they trace the ever-receding horizon as experienced on this travels through New Zealand. Collins' horizon lines are perfectly straight and display a visual congruence with his earlier
Paintings (Very Tranquil Sea). The combination of the two distinct tones evoke a third unseen colour in the humming space between; akin to the horizon, ever-present yet always somewhere else.
The Reckless Pilgrim
charts the artist's inner and outer journeys of significance, materialising their lasting memories, impacts and influences. Yet Collins is aware that to observe is also to affect the object of one's observation. Collins' travels intervene in the landscape he traverses, records and to which he responds, leaving both forever altered.

The pelvic floor is two bands of muscle located just above the pubic bone. They span the base of the pelvis and hold the organs in place, somewhat like a hammock. They provide support for your torso and connect your upper and lower body. Even though the pelvic floor is neither large nor visible, these two small bands of tissue are one of your greatest sources of strength.
Your pelvic floor provides subtle, powerful strength with great physical manifestations. Engage it by placing your attention inside just above your pubic bone. You may not feel it, or you may notice a light, but powerful, lifting sensation that travels up your spine. With practice, you will learn to engage the pelvic floor in everything you do in life. It will help you avoid overusing your shoulders in asana or keep you from straining your back when you need to move the couch.
Lolasana (or steps toward it) is a great pose to practice connecting with this important band of muscles. Try lolasana with and without engaging your pelvic floor. You'll be surprised at the difference.
Asana outline
Lolasana from the ground up
- If you can't yet lift your thighs toward your chest, press the tops of your feet on the floor.
- If your hips swing back, practice with your buttocks close to a wall.
- Use blocks under your hands if your back is tight and doesn't round easily.

A reform plan for Chicago schools, urging elected local boards for elementary schools and one elected board for high schools, was proposed Thursday by Ted Sanders, state superintendent of education.
Sanders said the creation of local boards should be linked to increased state funding to reduce class size and expand early-childhood education programs. All the city`s elementary and high schools now are governed by a single citywide board whose 11 members are appointed by the mayor.

Baltimore: The Plague Ships #1
- Story by
- Christopher Golden and Mike Mignola
- Art by
- Ben Stenbeck
- Colors by
- Dave Stewart
- Letters by
- Clem Robins
- Cover by
- Dave Stewart and Mike Mignola
- Publisher
- Dark Horse Comics
I may have to turn in my Mike Mignola fan card by saying this, but I still haven't read his and Christopher Golden's novel "Baltimore, or The Steadfast Tin Soldier and the Vampire." It looks rather slick and interesting, but there are only so many hours in the day and something had to give. Still, I figured I'd give "Baltimore: The Plague Ships" a whirl; from what I understand, it's set somewhere in the middle of the "Baltimore" novel, and was designed so new readers could jump right in.
Reading the first issue, though, I found myself a little nonplussed by it all. The book starts in media res, with Lord Henry Baltimore having come to a little plague-ridden town in France pursuing a vampire. From there it's a fight scene, a hunk of exposition and prophecy, and an awkward transition to the next issue. I can't help but feel that Mignola and Golden were hoping that more people had read the "Baltimore" novel, because the titular character here is woefully underdeveloped. Aside from Baltimore being driven to find the vampire he's been chasing, and also good at fighting the undead, we don't know anything else about him at the end of the first issue. He's the proverbial blank slate, but so far without any interesting details sketched onto him.
Then again, it's also a problem with the one supporting cast member of this book, Vanessa. She's remarkably two-dimensional, the slightly mysterious young woman who will do anything to get out of her small town. Watching Vanessa and her grandmother verbally spar is about as exciting as a slow-motion game of crazy eights, and by the end of the issue I found myself hoping the inquisitor mentioned might actually make an appearance because then something slightly more exciting would happen.
On the other hand, Ben Stenbeck (who drew Mignola's "Witchfinder" mini-series last year) is drawing "Baltimore: The Plague Ships" so it looks beautiful. Unlike most artists in the Mignola-verse (Duncan Fegredo, Guy Davis, Mignola himself), Stenbeck's art has a smooth and rounded edge, but one that packs the details in on the backgrounds. When Stenbeck's given scenes like shelves packed full of arcane objects, or bins at the marketplace, you know that he's going to not skimp on drawing everything there. And of course, he's good with the foregrounds too. Stenbeck draws World War I era vampires in a fantastic style, with military jackets and goggles and hats, and the fight scenes feel fluid and energetic. Dave Stewart helps bring the creepy, too, especially with his deep blood reds over the prophecy scene that feels so like a Mignola panel that you might do a double-take before you remember it was Stenbeck.
"Baltimore: The Plague Ships" #1 looks beautiful, but at least for this new reader, the writing isn't quite up to par from Mignola and Golden. I'm generally fond enough of Mignola's comics that I'll give it another shot next month, but I expected a lot better from this creative team.

DENVER – When the Braves signed 38-year-old catcher A.J. Pierzynski to a one-year, $2 million contract on Dec. 24, many people questioned or criticized the move, and some acted as if the team had just given itself a figurative lump of coal on Christmas Eve.
The 18-year veteran was coming off a career-worst season in which Pierzynski batted just .251 with five homers, 37 RBIs and a .337 slugging percentage in a career-low 274 plate appearances for Boston and St. Louis.
Why the Braves would sign a veteran who not only appeared to be in decline, but who also came with a reputation for being an occasionally disruptive clubhouse presence, for rubbing not just opponents the wrong way but also plenty of teammates over the years?
Four months later, the move looked shrewd when Pierzynski, after a strong spring training, hit .422 with three homers and 14 RBIs in 12 April games, splitting the catching duties with rookie Christian Bethancourt instead of serving as the expected backup to the promising prospect. Six months later, the move looks like one of the key reasons the Braves have managed to stay near .500 in a rebuilding – or retooling, as they prefer – season.
"A.J.'s been great, in every sense of the word," Braves assistant general manager John Coppolella said. "He's been great offensively, great defensively, he's helped our young pitchers, he made a lot of efforts to help out Christian Bethancourt…. I can't say enough about what he's done for the Braves this year."
Bethancourt didn't do much in the spring or in April to persuade the coaching staff that he deserved to play more, and eventually he would make enough defensive mistakes that the Braves decided to demote him to Triple-A, and they would try out a couple of different backups for Pierzynski before settling on Ryan Lavarnway.
Meanwhile, Pierzynski has settled into the familiar role of primary catcher, something that he didn't think he'd be doing this year, but something he's done quite well. He's below average throwing out runners, but Braves coaches and pitchers say Pierzynski more than makes up for that deficiency with his game-calling ability, especially handling a pitching staff that's even younger than the Braves anticipated it would be this season.
Offensively, Pierzynski has surpassed expectations and gotten back to doing what he's done most of his career, batting .289 with 25 extra-base hits (six homers) and 29 RBIs in 57 games, with a .323 OBP and .455 slugging percentage in 211 at-bats. His .778 OPS ranks fourth in the National League among catchers with at least 200 plate appearances.
"He's a guy that puts the ball in play," Braves manager Fredi Gonzalez said. "My dad told me, you put the ball in play, you've got a chance of the ball finding holes. And he's doing that right now. And he's also hitting the ball out of the ballpark…. He's a good baseball player. He's a guy who, whenever he gets done playing, he can be in this game for a long time. Because he's got good baseball smarts, good baseball instincts."
Pierzynski slumped in May after his sizzling April, but in his past 29 games before Thursday's series opener at Colorado, he hit .324 (34-for-105) with 13 extra-base hits, a .349 OBP and .514 slugging percentage. That included a stunning 10-for-13 in his last three games, with three doubles and a triple.
"I don't even try to think about it," Pierzynski said of being on such a hot hitting streak. "I'm just going up there trying to hit the ball, I'm not even thinking about anything else. First at-bat (Tuesday at Milwaukee), I hit a home run on a change-up; I thought it was a fastball. I don't even know what I'm doing. I'm just trying to get a good pitch and put a good swing on it, and whatever happens, happens."
It was easy this winter to overlook, given his falloff in 2014, that Pierzynski had two of his best seasons in 2012-2013, batting .275 with 91 extra-base hits (44 homers), 147 RBIs and a .462 slugging percentage in 269 games with the White Sox (2012) and Rangers (2013).
Before and immediately after the signing of Pierzynski, even some Braves coaches and others in the organization wondered whether it was a wise move. They didn't know about bringing in the brash, sometimes-volatile veteran to serve as a backup and mentor to rookie catcher Christian Bethancourt, who was finally going to get his chance to hold nail down the starting job at the big-league level.
And then the Braves signed another fiery veteran, Jonny Gomes, in January, prompting one national baseball writer who had known both of them for many years to predict that Pierzynski and Gomes would come to blows before the All-Star break.
They haven't. In fact, while they aren't close friends, they can often be seen at one or the other's lockers on the road, showing one another something on a smartphone. Behind the scenes, they talk enough to make sure the right things are being said and done to keep the good clubhouse vibe the Braves have had since spring training.
Gomes was asked about Pierzynski this week in Milwaukee, and thought for a moment before giving his answer.
"First of all, he's climbing all-time lists (for catchers)," Gomes said. "Not climbing (the list of) a league or a team – like, history of the game type stuff. Any time you do anything in this game, when you're ranking among all-timers, impressive is kind of an understatement. If you were to sum up what he's done this year, I think it's just pretty much par for the course for what he's done for 15 years.
"What he's done this year doesn't really surprise me by any means. But on the other side of it, there is a human element to this game. There is a decline, especially at that position. So, again, definitely very impressed."
Gomes, who has been the heart and soul of the team since the day he arrived at spring training, was asked about Pierzynski and what a fit he's been guiding so many rookies and other young pitchers this season.
"I think what's extremely helpful with the young pitching is not so much a defensive catcher and not so much the captain, but simply a guy back there that knows the hitters," Gomes said. "Like, 'This might be your third-best pitch, but I need you to throw it here.' And the pitcher on the mound is probably thinking, 'No chance, this is my go-to (pitch).' So for him to get that trust from these young guys – which he should get, because it has succeeded with the young arms."
Rookie Manny Banuelos, who had a 29-pitch first inning in his second major league start at Milwaukee this week, said that Pierzynski helped him get on track by telling him how to get into a rhythm, not take so much time between pitches. And to use all his pitches, not make it easy on the Brewers by throwing fastballs when they were clearly expecting them and being aggressive swinging at them.
"I have a lot of confidence with A.J. behind the plate," said Banuelos, who is 1-0 with a 0.82 ERA after two starts. "Every pitch he calls, I have confidence to throw it."
While some others weren't sure about the Braves' winter pursuit of Pierzynski, president of baseball operations John Hart felt strongly that he was the right guy. Hart had known Pierzynski for more than 20 years, they were now neighbors in Orlando, and he didn't doubt that Pierzynski could be on his best behavior and give the Braves just what they were looking for.
Hart was confident that Pierzynski, one of the best-hitting catchers in baseball over 14 full seasons he'd spent in the majors, would be a good fit, that he would help bring an edge that last year's team lacked.
Equally important was this: Hart said that Bethancourt would not be simply given the job, that he would have to prove he was ready and perform in the primary role. And if he didn't, then Hart wanted to make sure he had a veteran who could step up and catch 100 or so games instead of the typical 30-40 that most backup catchers handle.
It didn't take long for the move to look like a wise one, when Pierzynski had a big spring training and then an even bigger April, getting more of the playing time because his bat was too hot to keep out of the lineup and Bethancourt hadn't made the strides that the Braves wanted the kid to make behind the plate and calling games.
As for that potential personality clash, between Pierzynski and Gomes or Pierzynski and anyone else, it's just not been an issue.
"I've been watching that carefully," Gonzalez said. "It's one of those things where you kind of hate the guy across the way, but when he's your teammate you like him. People say, 'He's an (jerk).' My response to that, 'Yeah, but he's my (jerk).' You know what? He wants to win, and he's got a little edge. I think you know where you stand with him. He's the same way every day.
"I've enjoyed him. He's been really good. I lay out (the schedule) exactly – you're going to play here, day off here. That's what he wants. And he's been great. He really has."
Pierzynski in the past was known to fly off the handle and get in the faces of teammates, or say something to make them want to get in his face. The Braves haven't seen that.
"I'm from the side of things of like, my friend roster is packed," Gomes said. "I don't need another friend. I'm not looking for another friend. If you do have a strong personality and you do have … however you want to describe the attitude or whatever, if you bring it every day, the guys around you are going to have to adjust. But when you're moody -- when you're chatty Patty one day, and then you're not -- then there's a grey area.
"The A.J. Pierzynski we see, from the first day in Orlando, is the same. So I think that's where things sometimes get a little grey. You have to adjust around people, and when you start asking people to adjust around you, that's when things start to get grey. I mean, he's the same personality when I played with him in Boston. But personality and attitude is not very high on the list of things I'm looking for to try to win a ballgame. This is a results-driven industry. Results. And they're definitely there with him behind the plate."
Gomes was asked if Pierzynski's desire to win has superseded anything else.
"Yeah, similar to me -- when winning is first, second and third on your to-do list on an every-day basis, you need that guy," Gomes said. "Everything else is just going to fall in place."
• Let's close with this classic from Hag.
but they won't let my secret go untold.
I paid the debt I owed them, but they're still not satisfied,
now I'm a branded man out in the cold,
When they let me out of prison, I held my head up high,
determined I would rise above the shame.
But no matter where I travel, the black mark follows me,
I'm branded with a number on my name.
If I live to be a hundred, guess I'll never clear my name,
'cause everybody knows I've been in jail.
No matter where I'm living,
I've got to tell them where I've been,
or they'll send me back to prison if I fail.
Now I'm a branded man out in the cold.

Configuring Aggregate CloudTrail Collection in CloudCheckr
AWS allows you to combine CloudTrail log files from multiple AWS accounts into a single S3 bucket. Using CloudCheckr's Multi-Account View, you can view the details and events from these aggregated Trails. CloudCheckr will also automatically funnel the events down from the Multi-Account View into the general accounts, if they have been added to CloudCheckr.
Note: You must use a multi-account view in CloudCheckr to process aggregated CloudTrail log files.
To configure your CloudCheckr Multi-Account View to retrieve the log files from your AWS aggregated S3 bucket, follow these steps:
1 – Load (or create) the Multi-Account View you would like to configure from your list of Multi-Account Views.
2 – In the left-hand menu of reports, select Security > Activity Monitoring > AWS API (CloudTrail) > Aggregated S3 Buckets > Configure
3 – Within the "Name of the S3 Bucket storing the Aggregate CloudTrail data" text box enter the exact name of the S3 bucket where your aggregate CloudTrail log files are being stored.
4 – Enter the Access Key and Secret Key from an IAM user that has permissions to access the S3 bucket storing the aggregate CloudTrail logs.
NOTE: The IAM user must exist in the same AWS account as the S3 aggregated bucket.
If you don't have an IAM user with an Access Key and Secret Key, there are instructions for creating it here: https://support.cloudcheckr.com/getting-started-with-cloudcheckr/adding-credentials-in-cloudcheckr/creating-an-aws-user-group-and-policy/. Also, please note that for Aggregated CloudTrail S3 Bucket Access described in this article, the IAM user policy that you create via the above-linked instructions needs to only have the following permissions:
{ "Version": "2012-10-17", "Statement": [ { "Action": [ "iam:GetUser", "s3:GetObject", "s3:List*" ], "Effect": "Allow", "Resource": "*" } ] }
5 – Click the Update button.
That's it! CloudCheckr will now begin downloading the Trail data from that S3 bucket. Once that's finished you can use the CloudTrail events report within this Multi-Account View to explore the Trail data.
Understanding Your Aggregate CloudTrail Collection
Aggregate CloudTrail is an enterprise-scalable model that will security admins to report on and audit all the CloudTrail data throughout their deployment, while also allowing individual account owners access and control over their own CloudTrail data. You will have the ability to see, identify, and search for any CloudTrail event in any log in any account, all with rich metadata for conducting your forensics.
So, Admins and Standard Accounts Have Shared Access to the CloudTrail Data — Why Is This Important?
When you set up aggregate CloudTrail, you as the admin have access to every single CloudTrail event. Every AWS account will potentially have multiple trails (one per region) and if you have many accounts, this is a huge amount of data. The CloudTrail reports enable you the searching/filtering/auditing functionality to conduct forensics on any actions.
However, the next step is to create CloudTrail Alerts so that you can be alerted of any actions (such as Security Group changes, Unauthorized Access Attempts, etc.) that you consider dangerous. By leveraging CloudCheckr's Built-In Alerts, you have a large template set to secure your management plane, because you are able to apply these alerts to any of the possibly thousands of AWS accounts in your deployment. You are then able to create custom alerts as your deployment becomes more sophisticated.
Further, when you want your account owners to have control to see their own CloudTrail events — and more importantly, create their own CloudTrail Alerts — that is possible. Any CloudTrail Alert that you create for an account will be seen by the account owner; likewise any alert they create will be seen by you. Account owners can only create alerts in their own accounts.
This organizational dynamic radically eases the security management aspect of your AWS deployment because you have both one centralized place for access and control (for you) and proper individualized access for your users.

Maurice and Rifka are a lovely elderly couple, both in their eighties. One day, Rifka says to Maurice, "Do you know what I'd like right now - an ice cream."
"Then I'll go get you one," says Maurice.
"That's sweet of you, dear," says Rifka. "Go get a piece of paper so you can write down what I want. You know how bad your memory is these days."
"Don't you worry," says Maurice, "I won't forget – just tell me what you want."
"I'd rather you wrote it down," says Rifka.
"Please don't argue," says Maurice, "what do you want?"
"I want a cornet with one scoop of raspberry ice cream. Please write it down."
"I don't need to. Do you want anything else?" says Maurice.
"Yes, I'll also have a scoop of chocolate ice cream," replies Rifka.
"Anything else?" says Maurice.
"Yes, I'll have some butterscotch sauce on top of the ice cream. But are you sure you won't write it down?" says Rifka.
"I don't need to, honest. Now do you want anything else?" says Maurice.
"Well now you ask," says Rifka, "I'd like a sprinkling of nuts over the sauce and to finish it off, a glace cherry on top. But will you remember all of that?"
"Yes, dear, stop nagging," says Maurice and leaves to get the order.
50 minutes later Maurice comes back with a parcel. He goes straight to Rifka and proudly announces, "Darling, here's the fried fish you asked for!"
Rifka looks in the parcel, then at him and says, "I knew you would forget something. So where are the chips?"

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a report comparing the Nest and Lyric smart thermostats, and although the Nest compares favorably on many fronts one area where it falls behind is in the availability of alerts.
To help solve this problem is a free service called Junction.
Junction can send you alerts via email or text in the following circumstances:
- When Nest goes offline - either your home internet is down or Nest has stopped working
- When temperatures aren't correct - if Nest is trying to heat or cool but the temperature isn't being reached then you get an alert
- When humidity goes outside a range you have specified
- When your furnace or HVAC system isn't working properly
Junction uses the Nest servers to gather all the data so when you set up your free Junction account you then connect it to your online Nest account by following the simple instructions on the screen. The Junction dashboard will also provide you with historical information on your Nest and heating/cooling system for the previous 10 days - this screenshot is a good illustration:
I thought this was an interesting idea, so I asked Junction's CEO, Jake Schrader, for more information and he said, "We want to put as much intelligence into the service as we can. Our goal is to build and install sets of recipes that our users need, including ones they may not even be thinking about".
It turns out that they have a plan to further expand the number of devices you can monitor from your web based Junction dashboard so that you can use the information in simple and useful ways and have that data intelligently analyzed to provide you not only with alerts but also actionable insights.
Nest monitoring and alerts are just the beginning, here are some features they plan to add to the service:
- Junction reads that the alarm system reports home door is open (kids went out to play in back and didn't close the door) and that Nest reports home is losing heat. Junction sends alert to user;
- Junction checks weather service for outside temperature and determines it is above freezing (let's say 55 degrees), Junction lowers Nest setting to 55 degrees to ensure that energy isn't wasted. Junction alerts user.
- If Junction had detected that outside temperature was below freezing, Junction would send an emergency alert to the user and set Nest to maintain internal temperature to prevent freezing and home damage.
I believe that as more and more smart home devices become connected, a centralized dashboard of the kind that Junction is creating will become increasingly important to keep your smart home organized and operating smoothly.
It's a free web service so point your browser to www.junction.com to give it a try.
You can also get more information about Nest and other thermostats at AllThermostat.com.

Kanye West is offering fans the chance to win a pair of his limited edition Yeezy sneakers if they can correctly guess the new title of his highly-anticipated album.
The Bound 2 star will release the long-awaited project on Friday (12Feb16), and after attracting criticism for switching the name from Swish to Waves last month (Jan16), he has now started referring to the new music by a new acronym, T.L.O.P.
"There may be a new secret album title," he warned fans on Twitter on Monday night (08Feb16).
He then shared a photo of his laptop and revealed he was putting the finishing touches to the tracks, writing: "@studio /final verses /new album title T.L.O.P."
Kanye did not elaborate on the meaning of the title, and instead challenged followers to try and guess what the letters stand for.
"That's the new album anybody who can figure out the title gets tickets to Season 3 and free Yeezys," he announced early on Tuesday (09Feb16), offering to award the winner with seats at his New York Fashion Week Adidas Yeezy Season 3 runway presentation at Madison Square Garden on Thursday (11Feb16), when he will also premiere his new disc.
Kanye had yet to announce a winner as WENN went to press.
The hip-hop superstar had originally named his eighth studio effort So Help Me God, and he even recruited his wife, Kim Kardashian, to poll her nearly 40 million Twitter users on their favourite moniker out of the three already proposed last week (ends05Feb16).
Over 45 per cent of those who participated in the day-long survey selected So Help Me God, but it appears Kanye has ignored the findings to go with a whole new offering instead.
Kanye recently insisted choosing a title fans would approve of was important for him.
"I wanted to get people's opinions on how they felt," he told radio host Big Boy. "What I've really come to realise about being a celebrity is... everybody is our family. It's family. If something bad happens, you're gonna hear about it...
"We love any opportunity we have to involve all of our family in the creative process."
Detailing what fans can expect from the follow-up to 2013's Yeezus, he added, "This is a gospel album with a whole lot of cursing on it, but it's still a gospel album. It's the gospel, according to 'Ye (Kanye). It's not exactly what happened in the Bible, but it's a story of this idea of Mary Magdalene becoming Mary."

HBO's Lena Dunham spoke with Ryan Seacrest Sunday evening during a red carpet interview at the Golden Globes, where she disclosed she has deleted the Twitter app from her phone to "create a safer space" for her emotional state.
The Not That Kind of Girl author will keep her account, @lenadunham, open. However, she reportedly plans to limit her use.
"People threaten my life and tell me what a cow I am, so I check it occasionally, but it's not the same co-dependence with Twitter I once shared," she explained, via People.
"There's a lot of people I love on Twitter, but unfortunately you can't read those without deranged neo-cons telling you you should be buried under a pile of rocks," she added.
To continue her crusade to protect herself against taking criticism on social media, the actress posed for a semi-nude photograph before the Golden Globes, which was posted to executive producer Jennifer Konner's Instagram page.
It is captioned, "FREETHENIPPLE cover."

How To Pick The Perfect Las Vegas Wedding Chapel
How To Pick The Perfect Las Vegas Wedding Chapel
Since it is going to be your very own special day, you need to make sure that the Las Vegas wedding chapel you chose is perfect. Whether you are only finishing up the details or starting to scour for the best places, here are some things that you should do so that you can pick the perfect wedding chapel.
See if it can accommodate all of your guests
One of the most important features that your chosen Las Vegas wedding chapel should have is its proper accommodation. No matter how beautiful or how close your selected chapel is, it will still not be the right option if it cannot accommodate all of your guests.
Vegas Simple Weddings can help!
Find a wedding chapel in Las Vegas that will be able to house all of your attendees. This way, no one will feel bad about watching your marriage from outside of the chapel simply because he or she was not able to fit in your wedding chapel. Look at the size of the chapel and check if it can house the number of people that you are inviting to your marriage ceremony.
Check the distance between your home and the chapel.
While a scenic view would be an excellent idea, it would be better to see if your house – as well as your guests' – is close to the Las Vegas wedding chapel that you have chosen. This way, no one will experience any hassle when attending your wedding. If your preferred wedding chapel in Las Vegas is too far from your guests' home, some of them might opt to turn down the invitation to your special day. It will be easier to avoid this situation by choosing a chapel that has many access points. This way, you and your guests will be able to travel to your chosen chapel easily.
However, if you are willing to pay for a closer temporary accommodation for your guests, then it may be all right for you to choose a wedding chapel that is farther than usual. If you are willing to handle the costs, then you may choose a wedding chapel in Las Vegas that is far from the center but has one of the best views.
Observe the ceremonial service of the chapel
While most people opt to skip this situation, it is actually better if you choose to observe at least one ceremonial service from your chosen Las Vegas wedding chapel. Since most chapels would offer the service of their pastors or priests, the services vary from a chapel to chapel.
Get to know the ceremony initiator personally. If you have the time, try to talk to them so that you can have a clearer understanding of the flow of your wedding ceremony. Sometimes, the priest or pastor may even offer you and your spouse some marriage life tips. There are many benefits that you can receive from observing your chosen chapel's ceremonial procedures.
Choosing a wedding chapel in Las Vegas doesn't have to be stressful. Let us help you make your dreams come true for your wedding!

I've just finished overhauling the waterfall pages for Norway. Previously, we had held back on the content thinking that we would put out a one-of-a-kind book about waterfalls in Norway. But it became clear that just revealing everything on our website what we knew and experienced about our time there was the way to go.
I had a lot of fun going back into memory lane digging up old photos while also reaching back into our notes and our memories to put together quality content.
Have a look!
Next up in the major overhaul is Iceland.

George T. "Sonny" Cohn (March 14, 1925– November 7, 2006) was an American jazz trumpeter.
After working four fifteen years with Red Saunders (1945–1960), he went on to spend another 24 years in Count Basie's trumpet section (1960–1984).
Cohn started playing in small groups in Chicago with King Fleming while still a teenager.
Cohn joined Red Saunders' group in 1945, while Saunders was out of the Club DeLisa and working with a sextet instead of his usual mid-sized band. Fresh out of military service, he joined the Saunders group at the Capitol Lounge in Chicago; Leon Washington had recommended him. He was featured on Saunders' first recordings as a leader, for Savoy, Sultan, and (behind Big Joe Turner) on National. He was heard on the records that Saunders made for OKeh Records (1951–1953) and for Parrot and Blue Lake (1953–1954).
Sonny Cohn survived several downsizings of the Red Saunders band, as well as the closure of the Club DeLisa, but eventually accepted an offer from Count Basie, with whom he worked from 1960 through 1984. After Basie's death, Cohn returned to Chicago, where he remained active as a musician for another two decades.
You remind me so much
Of her when you're walking
Where everything's perfect
And nobody's talking
You're a cushion uncrumpled
You're a bed that's unruffled
The finest bone china,
Bone china around
And I believe that the snow queen
Lives somewhere in the hills
She's got the world on a string
Like white wine when it's chilled
Arms are spread like icicles
Upon a frosted cake
The snow queen reigns in warm L.A.
Behind the cold black gates
Your talents are tested
They're polished and they're shaped
Your talents are wasted
On men of no taste
But how about proving
That passion means more than

Steve Hong
Dog Trainer; New York, Long Island, Manhattan
Steve Hong is a highly respected and accomplished trainer for his age and we are excited to have him join the K-9 Behavior Services' team. His credentials as a trainer are hard to match and Steve is well versed on working with all types of dogs with all sorts of issues. Not only is Steve great with dogs, he is great with people and loves to teach both equally.
Steve Hong was nothing short of groomed to be a dog trainer, his father raised, trained, and competed dogs throughout Steve's childhood in Korea and continued when they moved to the United States. Steve was learning training and breeding from the very beginning, handling and showing numerous dogs as a child, gained valuable experience during that time, and has owned and handled many different breeds of dogs, ranging from Korean Jindos to Pomeranians. From that time up to the present, Steve has traveled the world and competed at some of the highest levels of competition in the very competitive sport of Schutzhund with his German Shepherds and the occasional Belgian Malinois by his side. Steve has also specialized in the handling and training of Pit Bulls, a breed he has loved for many years and understands well.
Steve's talents in dog training include basic to advanced obedience, protection training, sport/competition training, service work, movie work, aggression issues and puppy training.
We are proud to offer Steve as a trainer to those wanting to work with the best, most experienced trainer possible in the New York NYC, Long Island, and Manhattan areas.

A word from Steve Hong:
As a professional and experienced dog trainer on the east coast, I spend my days engaged in my passion, dog training. Being a part of the K-9 Behavior Services team, I am now able to take my skills to a wider range of people. Although each individual will choose different dog trainers for different reasons, I feel that the one common goal is, results. I fit well with the concepts that K-9 Behavior Services preaches, because I too have the ability to get reliable results with dogs through balanced training. Too many dog trainers today do not understand the concept of balanced dog training. I am greatly looking forward to meeting new clients and having the opportunity to teach people how to build their dogs character through balanced dog training techniques that I have learned through many, many years of dog training experience.

Thankfully, many people are realizing the importance of conserving our natural resources. There is something you can do that will not only save water, but can also provide funding for school programs. Learn how something as simple as a dual flush toilet can save 49 gallons a day for a family of 7 by simply installing a water conservation devise in your existing toilet.
My children enjoy the after school program in our community, and we almost lost this opportunity due to a lack of school funding for anything that is not considered mandatory. The after school program has so many unique opportunities, and we were all sad to think that this program may end. If you talk to someone in your district about using the dual flush toilets, you can show them how you can raise money for programs such as Scouts, charities, sports programs, and other school programs.
This is a great opportunity to 'go green' and raise money for a worthy cause all at the same time! So often, we would like to make a difference, but many changes require a lot of money which most of us don't have. With this opportunity, you don't have to replace any existing equipment, and it doesn't require a lot of time or money. You can purchase a dual flush kit for $29.95. Finally, a realistic way for people everywhere to make a difference!

Because Yun Si and Robert are based in Sydney, Australia, we had a few emails, and soon, she came back to Penang and we had a chance to meet up face to face. Instead of meeting at a public place, Yun Si suggested to meet at our office, which is really our home. I was surprised, but didn't mind because it was all more casual and more personal. When she came, she was kind enough to give us a packet of biscuits from Australia! The discussion went really well, and soon, she confirmed us, and we had a few more meetings, all of which Yun Si was generous enough to treat us, whether it was at her place, or over dinner at a Chinese restaurant. Yun Si is definitely the most generous person, and not just a client, that we've ever met! 😀
Robert, on the other hand, is more relaxed, easy-going kinda person. Always smiley, always patient, very loving, and you can tell he loves Yun Si lots! Kisses galore on the actual wedding day! ;D These two make such a perfect couple and I'm sure they will enjoy each other's company till the end of time! That's what a marriage is all about, eh? Marry your best friend! 😀

Sarasota Orchestra Considering Alternative Sites for New Concert Hall in City of Sarasota
Sarasota Orchestra Considering Alternative Sites for New Concert Hall in City of Sarasota
At a City Commission workshop on June 25, 2018, Sarasota Orchestra President and CEO Joseph McKenna provided a status report on the Orchestra's comprehensive planning for a new concert hall and shared the Board's decision to explore alternative facility sites not on the Bayfront but in the City of Sarasota. The Board made the unanimous decision to ensure Sarasota Orchestra's ability to grow its mission and service to our region.
"For the past several years, Sarasota Orchestra has been studying the feasibility of a new concert hall that would enable us to expand our work on behalf of the community," said Arn Hoffman, Chair of the Board's Facility Task Force "We have been carefully and thoroughly reviewing every aspect of a new facility in light of four critical success factors: timeliness, artistic and educational integrity, philanthropic considerations, and business and economic vitality."
Additional considerations evaluated by the Board include the extended timeline to build out the Bayfront, projected sea level rise, and parking and traffic concerns.
In his presentation to the City Commission, Joseph McKenna underscored the Orchestra's support for the efforts of the Sarasota Bayfront Planning Organization. "We have been an active, collaborative participant with and an early, ongoing supporter of the Sarasota Bayfront Planning Organization," he said. "The Board's decision enables us to pursue alternative locations in the city and to remain a firm supporter of the Bayfront master planning process."
For more than fifty years, the Orchestra has partnered with the City of Sarasota to advance the region's reputation as a cultural destination. Founded by and for the Sarasota and Manatee communities, the Orchestra is determined to accelerate its work to enrich lives and elevate the artistic, educational, cultural, and economic vibrancy of our region.
"We are honored to bring the magic of live musical experiences and education to nearly 90,000 people each year, and we intend to accelerate our excellence, outreach, and impact in the years ahead," said McKenna.

There are some really impressive animations in the gameplay and smart movement from the players. When standing around on offense you'll find teammates setting up screens and working to get open. The graphics are excellent for a mobile game. The courts in particular look phenomenal. While there won't be closeups of player faces they are still very recognizable, based on the accurate-looking player models and accessories. NBA Live Mobile looks like a simulation game but it falls closer to the arcade-side of things. I've only seen a total of seven fouls committed in well over 50 games. There are no eight second or back court violations. Three-point shots and driving to the hoop for scores are money. The A.I. opponents have little clue of how to execute on offense and don't understand late-game situations.
