|Thank you Ivy and Hypnagogia
Hypnagogia ...I wrote the song first it's about a friend of mine who never forgot or got over his first wife even tho he had'nt seen or spoke to her for 30 years I told him he was a sad clown, hence the video
|hypnagogia (5 years ago)
|Excellent work again! the fairground is the perfect setting for a melancholic memory, and the music suits it well... I wonder tho was that just a creepy clown with an unhealthy obsession with a random girl he just met.. :)

The Cleveland Cavaliers have swept the Atlanta Hawks, because talent beats teamwork. Hawks head coach Mike Budenholzer is trying to implement a free-flowing offense without a low post threat. Good luck with that. With Lebron James taking on everyone on the Hawks basketball squad guarding each of them, the Cavs' role players have stepped up to contribute to team success. The Golden State Warriors haven't been to the NBA Finals and haven't won it in forty years. That will change on June 4, when the Warriors host the Cleveland Cavaliers in Game 1. Who wants it more? The Rockets have tried to grind out the Warriors in style, but that's not their game and not the case in Game 5.
Monthly Archives: May 2015
Game 1 of the Eastern Conference NBA Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers came prepared for their first game against the Atlanta Hawks. The Cavs were upped to play up-tempo defense so they could stop the Hawks from running their team plays. The Cavs made sure they didn't give Kyle Korver any open looks and made it hard on Jeff Teague to get his open looks at the basket. Lebron James was the centerpiece of Cleveland's offense and J.R. Smith made most of his open looks. The Hawks looked frustrated, partly because they weren't prepared by the Cavaliers' onslaught. Every time the Hawks made a basket, Cleveland made sure they run a half-court offense so they could get their two points on the other end. In order to win the game, the Cavaliers had to neutralize the Hawks' up-tempo offense and they did that with defense and making stops before Atlanta could hoist a three-point shot or a bucket near the basket.
NBA Conference Finals
The Cleveland Cavaliers finally left the East semifinals, leaving the Chicago Bulls behind and sending Tom Thibodeau's squad home. The Cavaliers will be facing the Atlanta Hawks and this will be a showdown between Lebron James and the run-fast up-tempo game that Mike Budenholzer implanted on these Hawks players. Lebron James will have to pick his poison on who to defend on the Hawks whether it's Jeff Teague or Paul Millsap. The Atlanta Hawks dispatched of the Washington Wizards in six games. The Golden State Warriors, led by NBA league MVP Stephen Curry, will be taking on the winner of the L.A. Clippers and Houston Rockets.
NBA Semifinals
The Chicago Bulls took care of business with Cleveland in Game 1, winning it 99-92. Derrick Rose led the way and Pau Gasol was behind him. Cleveland is without Kevin Love and J.R. Smith. It hurt them. That's why the Cavaliers lost the game. The L.A. Clippers beat the Houston Rockets 117-101 and they were fresh off their Game 7 victory over San Antonio plus they did win Game 1 with Houston without their star point guard Chris Paul. The Atlanta Hawks bounced back from their Game 1 loss with a Game 2 victory with the Washington Wizards. If the Hawks can withstand a Wizards half-court offense with Marcin Gortat and Nene and play up-tempo basketball, they will have a chance to win the series. Otherwise, a low-post presence will hurt these smaller Hawks players. In Game 1 between the Wizards and the Hawks, the Wizards dominated because they had size and height over Atlanta. The Memphis Grizzlies also bounced back to beat the Golden State Warriors and will go to Memphis with the series tied at one game apiece. In Game 1, the Warriors were playing perfect basketball and in Game 2, the emergence of Mike Conley came back and helped Memphis regain control of the basketball game and the series.
First round exits
The Atlanta Hawks have knocked off the Brooklyn Nets in six games, behind NBA Coach of the Year winner Mike Budenholzer who has effortlessly led these Hawks, who has heard of DeMarre Carroll and Mike Scott and Dennis Schroder, to a winning record. The Chicago Bulls have outlasted these feisty and long-armed Milwaukee Bucks with their size and half court offense with Pau Gasol and Joakim Noah. The Bulls have gotten under the Bucks' skin late in Game 6, and I would expect a rematch between these two teams in the future. The Golden State Warriors dispatch of the New Orleans Pelicans was no contest. The Warriors will host the Memphis Grizzlies who got rid of the Portland Trail Blazers in five games. The Clippers outlasted the San Antonio Spurs in Game 7 as they win 111-109 and will face the Houston Rockets in the second round, Kevin McHale's squad playing outstanding with the play of James Harden and Dwight Howard were too much for the older, aging Dirk Nowitzki and these Dallas Mavericks.

Just read a book about running, by a man who's immensely passionate about running. And something compelled me to not only read it but also write about it!
Those who know me, will be surprised about how the book landed up in my shelf, and secondly in my hands! Well, I have a fairly simple and plausible explanation to the first, I am married to a runner. So it didn't so much land up on 'my' shelf as it did on 'ours'. 🙂 What made me read it (at least at the time when I decided to) was the hope of finally being able to understand what makes running so precious to my husband. What goes on in his mind. Why does he call it 'his meditation'.
Before you judge me as being naive, let me say this, I do understand that any form of physically intensive activity would be calming for the mind, but meditation to me is being able to channelize the mind towards something. It's mastering the mind. In my Yoga practice, the mind is as much active and attentive as the body (I am talking of Iyengar school of Yoga). So yes, my practice is my meditation, it detaches me from the world outside and makes me focus within. But running? Forgive me for saying this, but isn't it 'a mind numbing exercise', like literally!? How does that combine meditation then!? Well, I've argued about this for years, finally I decided to unravel the mystery. Not by running, of course not, so this book was probably my best chance.

Wagon Of Death/Public Gaol (Jail) Colonial Williamsburg
If found guilty of a heinous crime a person was placed in the Public Gaol (Jail) to await hanging.
Cells were small, unheated, no glass in the windows, which were barred. Prisoners slept on insect ridden straw, shackles were found during excavations, Prisoners were shacked to the floor.
The "Wagon of Death" came to escort them to the gallows. The condemned man could hear the creaking of the carts wheels as it rolled down Nicholson Street. The prisoner then had to sit on there own coffin for the mile long ride to Hangman's Road. No physical evidence is left of the gallows but the Gaol is still standing and is one of the oldest buildings in Colonial Williamsburg. It housed murders, pirates, Indians, run-away slaves and common debtors until 1780. It continued to house offenders until 1910.
Stories have been told for over a century of hearing the sounds of a horse and wagon going down Nicholson Street in pre-dawn hours. When those hearing the sound would rush to the windows, nothing was there.
The public Goal is located on the eastern end of Nicholson Street. Nicholson Street runs parallel to Duke of Gloucester Street. Look for the Capital. The jail is to the left (north) side of the Capital
The Orginial brick building was 20 by 20 feet with an adjoining walled exercise yard. Presently the gaol has three rooms on the first floor, a larger one for the gaoler and two smaller ones for male and female prisoners. Attic chambers were used to confine petty offenders.
Hanging was often the penalty for arson, piracy, horse stealing, forgery and stealing. The gaol served the colony until 1780 and used as a jail by the city of Williamsburg until 1910.

About four months ago when I first mentioned my rating system, I said I would research previous seasons and rate the top players for each of them. LPGA.com has all the data I need to do this for the years 2002 through 2005, but I failed to find another source to supply the information for years prior to 2002. If anyone out there knows of a resource where I can get yearly money lists, scoring averages, Top 10 finishes and missed cuts, please let me know (I already have the list of tournament winners). I'll be posting the results from the years I have data every couple of days over the next week. Here are the Top 30 Players of 2005:
1. Annika Sorenstam
2. Paula Creamer
3. Cristie Kerr
4. Jeong Jang
5. Lorena Ochoa
6. Natalie Gulbis
7. Hee-Won Han
8. Catriona Matthew
9. Gloria Park
10. Candie Kung
11. Heather Bowie (Young)
12. Michelle Wie
13. Juli Inkster
14. Pat Hurst
15. Liselotte Neumann
16. Rosie Jones
17. Carin Koch
18. Meena Lee
19. Soo-Yun Kang
20. Marisa Baena
21. Mi Hyun Kim
22. Christina Kim
23. Karrie Webb
24. Michele Redman
25. Young Kim
26. Wendy Ward
27. Shi Hyun Ahn
28. Grace Park
29. Karine Icher
30. Rachel Heatherington
If you looked closely, you may have noticed a few players who won tournaments during the '05 season didn't make the Top 30. They were:
32. Birdie Kim (US Open champion)
33. Jennifer Rosales
38. Nicole Perrot
40. Stacy Prammanasudh
43. Jimin Kang
In all five cases, the player undermined their victory by missing more cuts, scoring higher, and earning less money (despite the win) than the players rated above them. The retroactive Hound Dog Awards for 2005 go to:
Player Of The Year – Annika Sorenstam
Rookie Of The Year – Paula Creamer
Fluke Winner Of The Year – Birdie Kim

Sara Farinha (Portuguese Writer):
"My first take on this is that it's based on concept quite new and it's a good idea to divulge non-Anglophone authors and their writings. English is the language of the modern world after all and it does make sense that most writers end up experimenting in its realms.
"ISF (e-zine and blog) is a product of this growing need that almost all writers feel when contemplating exposure in an international market, and it's a commendable effort made by the team involved."
"ISF presents three short-stories, one article and an interview, and all of them prove the dedication of ISF team to this project. Proposing to tackle Speculative Fiction on all its facets, ISF brings us diversity in its themes and authors and a priceless contribution to the contemporary fiction scenery."

I am extremely tired due to lack of sleep but TIGF and the weekend, I can sleep all I want.
Truth is I am not a huge fan of lipgloss though I like to wear them from time to time but whenever I see something new hitting the shelves, I can't help but be curious to try them, which is exactly why I picked up these two new Maybelline Color Elixir lip glosses.
Maybelline claims that they are hyper-saturated and giving the color payoff a lipstick, have a smooth cushiony feel, glossy finish, moisturizing feel, and even application. Sounds fabulous right?
- The packaging is cute. Could have fooled me into thinking this is a lipstick. I like the clear packaging that shows me the exact color inside.
- The wand has a diamond shape and weidly look hairy, lol. It does what it needs to do so it's all good.
- .17 oz or 5 ml. Holy crap, the writing was tiny as hell on the packaging. I had to squint really hard to be able to read it.
- Intoxicating Spice is a lovely semi sheer brown with red undertone. Sheerer than I expected but I do love the color.
- Raspberry Rhapsody is a semi sheer cool tone pink with subtle blue shimmers. This was a quite a surprise and disappointment. I was expecting the color in the tube but instead I got something totally different.
- My biggest let down was the opacity. Based on what it claims to do, you would think of a liquid lipstick type of deal here but it's totally not so. This is beyond a shadow of a doubt a gloss and it's kind of sheer but still give you some color pay off. There is no such thing as hyper saturation here. What a joke really! This is so misleading and false advertising. That sort of thing really disappoints me. It makes you think you're getting something and big surprise, it's not even close.
- Aside from the false claim, these glosses are not bad really. They are a bit thick and have a nice squishy feel that doesn't feel sticky. I also find them to be very glossy and shiny. They are on the sheer but have a decent pigmentation to give you some color and apply fairly evenly.
- They feel hydrating and last about 3 hours.
- They have a sweet artificial scent to them. Not too bad but not loving it either. Maybelline could use some improvement on their lipstick/gloss scents. Most of them don't appeal to me.
Thoughts? Am I overreacting or would you be upset too?

In Living Color: Trend Report
Ever since looking at JCrew's Spring 2011 LookBook, my heart has been swooning over colored shorts. I myself have already purchase a green pair from goowill (outfit post to come), and have been itching to wear them. High-waisted seems to be the style many are taking on. I will most likely be sporting mine with a white button down. To find bold colored shorts like this at an affordable price, I would urge you to try you local thrift store!

Me & My Style
My portfolio reflects my love for photography and the way I like to work. I explore my whole life through a camera if it's local or travelling abroad on one of my travel assignments that I do twice a year.
Leaving aside my commercial work for the minute: everything I do with people is "document real life moments" either at weddings, portraits or general celebrations. Its what I do best, my informal and candid style enables me to work around you to produce stunning images yet remains unobtrusive.
Back to my wedding style it is Unobtrusive; dress smartly, being friendly, keeping out of people's way and not being in your face. This, combined with the images that you see, is a great combo for covering weddings.
Its not all about you, shooting a wedding to me is also about your guests, the big moments and the "in between" moments. Even down the smallest detail that no one else will see. It's a skill that I have developed and have an 6th sense for anticipation.
For my Weddings and other genres of work I spend lots of hours after the event working on post production editing. Each single image is edited with the latest software system. Every image is chosen for its story telling either in colour or carefully and skilfully turned into black and white. I may also give you both options to choose from.
It's my choice to keep weddings to a manageable level so my work is kept fresh. My aim is to do 25-30 weddings a year so do contact me if all the above matches your thoughts.
As a Somerset, Bristol and Cotswolds wedding photographer the majority of my weddings are in the southwest but I also cover destination weddings overseas. If you're interested in finding out more please get in touch.

4th Annual Battle of the Bags Cornhole Tournament
We wanted to build something unique for the Folly Angels who put on the 4th Annual Battle of the Bags Cornhole Tournament in Folly Beach, SC.
Using a picture of a necklace representing the charity group of a heart with wings was used as inspiration. To truly make the board stand out we added raised letters.
The board was used in the silent auction during the cornhole tournament to help raise money for locals with cancer.
We absolutely love the South Carolina Film Fest and the folks over Carolina Surf Brand. When we heard that we could join them over at the film festival we also brought a custom Folly Board to donate as a random prize for those that purchased fundraising tickets along with many other prizes from many local businesses.
The festival's benefit Surfer's Healing, a nonprofit that seeks to bring surfing into the lives of kids with special needs, specifically those with autism. CSFF also raises awareness for Surfrider Foundation and Charleston Waterkeeper.
Design and build trophies for the 2017 Wahine Surf Contest in Folly Beach, SC.
84 Trophies were built
- Trophies ranged from First Place, Second Place, Third Place trophies of various sizes.
- Trophy sizes ranged from four inches tall up to 12 inches tall.
- Made from white pine
- Surf board fin design with a base
- Room for labels to be added after production

Can't Get No Satisfaction
Re "I Want Love Now" by Heather Augello (Cover Story, June 9). No matter what you do, you can never make everyone happy! All you can hope to do is do your job to the best of your ability and hope that some jerk doesn't get you fired for not finding love. I used to work at an Arco, and customers can be horrible. I've had money thrown at me and then they'd walk away. One customer blamed me for giving her gas away when it was her fault for giving me the wrong pump number. People would give me attitude. If I was nice to them — attitude. If I was too slow — hell; even if I was too fast. With people, you just can't win!

The article "I Want Love Now" (Cover Story, June 9) by Heather Augello typifies much of today's attitudes in society. The "I want it yesterday" notion that everything should be readily available to me whenever I want it seems to encompass material goods, education, and relationships. Ever notice how many good-paying, rewarding careers can be obtained in just a few short months or weeks and even online, without even leaving your home? Only then can you get all the things you've ever wanted, including love! But, wait…if you call now, we'll include…

Bare Barbies
This is a concerned reader of the Reader. I'm looking at the cover here (June 9), and I really think it's inappropriate, especially for a child's view. It looks like we have three Barbies that have no tops on them, like they're sunbathing or something. My child did bring it to my attention. Somebody's a real brainiac on this one.

Patience, Grace, Mercy
I just read the column on Evelyn Irving-Jackson, a woman I never met ("There Is No Black San Diego," Feature Story, June 9). However, I thank God for the work that she is doing. You really need to have the love of God to do the work she is doing. It takes patience, grace, and mercy. You have to walk in the love of God because we are human, and it can only take us so far. We need to have someone higher than us. She is a blessing, and my prayer for her and her husband is that God will give them both the desires of their heart. Evelyn, if you should see this little note, I want you to know that you are always in my heart. Keep doing the work that God has given you.

Middle Chef
I'd like to respond to Ms. Wise's review of Frank Terzoli's restaurant (June 9). Her comment "Local-born chef Frankie 'The Bull' Terzoli won a TV chef contest (Bravo's Top Chef)" is very misleading. It implies he won top chef. He didn't. He may have won one elimination challenge, but he was sent home halfway through the season. Also, the tagline under the picture says "Top Chef–winning." Again, misleading at best and dead wrong at worst. I hope a correction will be printed.

Just A Little Higher
Joe Deegan's "It Was Scary Up There" ("City Lights," June 2) was a very good article. I lost my son off the bridge in 1994. I tried to get them to put some kind of a fence or little barrier up. When Deegan quoted the Caltrans fact sheet — that the wall on the bridge is only three feet high — that was very good of him to do that. It's the only bridge in California that doesn't have some kind of a little fence or something. There is a bridge in Pasadena. It was called Suicide Bridge, but after multiple suicides, the city put up a barrier. Suicides are rare there now. Even a two-foot railing on the Coronado bridge would give a person time to rethink jumping and get help.

Review: Talking to Ourselves by Andrés Neuman
"Discover" is a funny word. When we use it, we don't often mean that we are the first to do something, but that we are just now becoming aware of something that has long since existed.
This is the feeling that comes when reading Andrés Neuman's beautiful new novel, Talking to Ourselves.
Because while this is only Neuman's second book to be translated from the Spanish and made available in the United States, it's actually his tenth book. Americans may be late in "discovering" Neuman, but this novel about illness, family, love, and loss strikes such a personal chord readers may feel like he was there with us all along.
Talking to Ourselves is the story of Mario, a young father dying of cancer, who decides to take his ten-year-old son on a road trip in an attempt to make some positive final memories. Meanwhile, Mario's wife Elena becomes distraught when she realizes how little time her husband has left and begins a powerful affair with his doctor.
When Mario and his son return home, the family must confront Mario's illness as well as their own very different perspectives on family, truth, legacy, and grief.
Told from all three perspectives in three very different styles (journal, tape recording, and stream-of-consciousness), the result is a novel that is brutal in its honesty and subtle with its joy. "Health is so painfully obvious that it makes you ashamed in front of the sick," Elena writes after visiting her husband in the hospital. To be healthy, then: what an amazing, remarkable gift.
It is also an intellectual novel, as Elena often moves into contemplations based off quotes from various literary greats. But this is a reflection of her character, not a trick of the author, as Mario and their son digress in their own ways, making each character's chapters so personal, so close, it feels as though we are in their very skin.
A beautifully written work about the everyday moments that shape, impact, and terrify us, Talking to Ourselves is a novel to be discovered again and again.

I'm having this deadline on Friday and it feels like I'm working day and night. Since I left dear son in the loving care of my parents on Sunday, it feels like I haven't moved from the computer. Except for trying to make a card or two (pure therapy!). Here is today's try to make a card, but this one was hard. Couldn't get ANYTHING to match, so I finally decided to go monochromatic white, and actually do this card for ME, dreaming of summer, new hope, new life with butterflies and vacation with NO DEADLINES!
|Paper: Bazzill Basics
|Stamp: Papertrey Ink
|Ink: Versa Fine
|Decos: Butterfly from Heidi Swapp, pearls from Kaiserkraft, brads – American Crafts,
The design is based on the beautiful sketch of the week over at 2sketches4you, and I also tried my best with Pam's challenging challenge String art over at 365 cards. (Gloria and Rose – do you think she's on that coffee again???)
See you!

Cropper Plugin for MODO
I write a lot of plugins for MODO. Picking a favorite is hard to do, but if I had to choose, Cropper might just be it. With this plugin, detailed materials design and render optimization is easier than ever.
The premise of Cropper is simple: you select a render region, click 'crop', and viola! Your image is cropped. No need to zoom and pan in the render window to see your region: it's front and center every time you hit F9.
You can add as many crops as you like, and switch between them as you switch areas of interest in your image. You can quickly toggle the render region on and off in a single click (no properties panel needed), and adjust the camera's focal length just as easily. In the latest version, you can even see a live-updating list of all your crops in a single, clean popover form (no groups panel), and delete everything without a trace in a single click. It works with all MODO cameras, even locked and rigged ones.
The result is not only a perfect geometric representation of the final image, even the resolution is adjusted so that it is, in effect, a pixel-for-pixel preview of what your final bucket render will look like. This means you can use it for denoising and other optimization tasks and know that what you're seeing in the cropped render faithfully represents the final.
If you're working with high-resolution images in MODO, Cropper makes life much, much easier.

On the other side of the world this week, class took a beating.
I have known John Daly since the astonishing moments at Crooked Stick in 1991 when he grabbed the PGA Championship and somehow made it his own. We celebrated his achievement, gaped in amazement at his power, and marveled at what surely was to come.
Marveled ... and cringed.
In the 20 years since that unbelievable week, he has become the poster boy for misunderstanding. In one week he would trash a hotel room and empty his pockets to a fellow pro in need. Very few in our golfing history have ever been as confusing and frustrating as John.
We have pulled for him at every stop, desperately believing that this would be the week when he would control both himself and his magical game.
And we haven't been alone. Promoters, tournament directors, sponsors worldwide have thrown open their doors to him, knowing what a great draw he still is. Some have said "well, people like to see train wrecks" but there is also a very sincere desire to watch redemption at work.
He has taken these invitations because, quite frankly, he hasn't earned his way in. And in taking them, he has shoved other more deserving candidates aside.
It happened again this week at the Australian Open. As young Aussie alternates stood outside, watching, John was given one of the precious few available playing slots.
And in the course of a few ridiculous minutes, he tossed it all aside as he has so many times over the years.
He triple-bogeyed a hole and then, ticked off, sent seven balls sailing into the next hole's water hazard. Out of balls, he bade farewell to his playing partners and stalked off, quitting almost before he began.
He won't be ever asked back, said Trevor Herden, Golf Australia's director of tournaments. "I would say this is the last time we see John Daly."
Add to all of this, John's long-time girl friend shoving a cameraman and JD's young son walking alongside, watching every moment, learning as he went, and perhaps "train wreck" is the proper terminology after all.
It is long past sad. He is a two-time major champion and, according to Herden, deserves some respect. But that has become so tarnished now that it will likely never be restored.
By the way, in case you're wondering, "out of balls" is not an excuse.
"If you run out of balls," Herden said, "and are acting in a professional manner, you can call a rules official and we will get the type of ball you're playing with and replenish your stock. We can do that."
The italics say it all.
For shame.
Share your thoughts on John Daly's Australian meltdown by sending Jim an email, following Jim on twitter or posting on the PGA.com Facebook page.

The INSIDER Summary:
- Scientists at MIT have just created a new technology they're calling "liquid Spanx."
- It's a series of two creams that create an invisible, breathable "second skin" on top of your actual skin.
- The second skin tightens and eliminates puffiness — perfect for under-eye bags.
- The product is easily removed with oil-based makeup remover.
Nothing saps your glow quite like puffy, tired under-eye bags. You can conceal and highlight with all the finesse of Kylie Jenner at her most glam and pump your a.m. routine full of peptides, but totally defeat and depuff those suckers you shall not. Until now, that is.
We've been trying to solve the puffiness problem for years — one late night or a.m. caffeine shortage can suddenly leave you looking sullen and several years older, thanks to puffy, sagging skin. But the brains at Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) may have just cracked it with new technology they're calling "liquid Spanx," reports WWD.
The new technology is what we'd call a real beauty game-changer. Using compression technology in the form of silicone-based polymers, the product all but eradicates puffiness in the skin by creating a second skin-like film.
Here's how it works: First you dab a layer on your bags. Let it sit for a minute. Then apply layer two, which is where the magic happens. According to the researchers, this second layer of polymer adheres to the first, creating a hardened film that tightens the skin — you can literally watch your pesky bags depuff. And it gets better. Formulated with blurring and mattifying effects that help to conceal dark circles, the product would be easy to pull off solo and will also work with a layer of powder makeup on top. To remove the film, which comes off as a single sheet, all you need is an oil-based makeup remover.
The depuffing technology was first introduced in 2016, and while this latest iteration has been formulated specifically to target under-eye issues, the science could also have major implications for other skin plights like cellulite.
The science behind it is legit. The game changing technology is the brain child of Olivo Labs led by Robert Langer, a professor of chemical engineering at MIT (and the most cited engineer in history, NBD), who has received the United States National Medal of Science, the United States National Medal of Technology and Innovation and the award considered the equivalent of the Nobel prize for engineering. Yeah, nerd out on that for a second. He's also a cofounder of Living Proof and was part of the brains behind its arsenal of super science for your hair.
Naturally, with a list of credentials like Langer's and majorly impressive results, the depuffing tech is already the subject of a beauty bidding war. "The big question for a company like ours is do we develop it on our own, or among the people that are potentially wooing us," Olivo's CEO, Amy Schulman told WWD. "Do we find there's one partner that we really think has the ability to develop this the way we want around the world?" According to Schulman, the product is "ready to go," so it's just a matter of working out all the sticky business details before we see it on the market. Now if only there was a magic cream for that.

An increasing amount of traditional art has been going digital over the last decade or so. Although some are wary of the transition, there's a lot of perks to going digital. For artists, moving from a physical portfolio to a digital one, allows you to showcase your work on a huge scale, curate your own artistic journey and control your own image of yourself. We took a look at why every artist needs a digital portfolio.
Why do artists need digital portfolios?
1. Visibility
Uploading your artwork online means that literally anyone who has access to the domain you choose can view your work. This could mean hundreds of millions of people around the world have access to your work! Aside from being accessible to fan and art enthusiastics, digital portfolios make it easier for artists to connect on a professional level. Whereas previously artists needed to send prints or physically show their portfolios to galleries across the globe, now it's as easy as a point and a click.
With a potentially enormous about of viewers visiting your work, it is important to showcase your work, style and journey in the best way that represents yourself and your philosophy. Digital portfolios give artist autonomy over their space, in which artists are open to be as creative as they wish.
2. Growth
Your digital portfolio can work as a timeline to chronicle your growth, the different projects you had been involved in and what your artistic journey has looked like over the years. You can catalogue your portfolio into different sections, featuring a variety of exhibitions or types of creations.
If your main focus for creating a digital portfolio is for professional purposes, it is a great way to store and show your best work and how far you've come in your craft.
3. Flexibility
The great thing about digital portfolios is that you can design, create, and modify it according to your needs. If you've got new pieces of art that you want to share, simply upload it to your portfolio. Traditional portfolios can get quite pricy if you are updating them often. Digital portfolios makes it easy to stay current and exhibit the work that you are most proud of.
Should students start their own digital portfolios?
Nowadays, mobile and computers are showing up in every classroom. It's important (and quite easy) for students to create their own digital portfolios where they curate, archive and store the work that they have created over the years.
A digital portfolio is a great way to instill confidence in a student. They will be able to document their own work and recognize their own growth. It is a great way for students to understand their own sense of self, their craft, best learning practices and how to thrive. They also have a space to return to and reflect on past creations.
Digital portfolios also give students the confidence to show their work. Behind the safety of their screens, students can showcase their work to others across world, and even collaborate with other students.
In terms of a student's educational and professional pipeline, he or she will have their own autonomous space to display and market themselves to college administrators and prospective employers.

The bread and wine, the gifts of the people, have been moved from the table of preparation (prothesis table) to the altar in the Great Entrance. In this program we further discuss the Cherubic Hymn in which we are admonished to "lay aside all earthly cares" as we confront the reality of the heavenly Kingdom and the unity of all believers both in heaven and on earth who confess "Father, Son and Holy Spirit, the Trinity one in essence and undivided." We enter a liturgical dialogue with the priest as we contemplate the greatness of the grace of God who accepts from us sinners our gifts in order to return them to us as the Body and Blood of His Son. In this liturgical dialogue we acknowledge our life in the Trinity, the love and unity of the Church, the glory of God, our gratitude to God for His mercy and the awesome and fearful prospect of taking the "fire of divinity" into our human flesh in the Eucharist.

A cloud native application is one that is designed to fully exploit a cloud platform both in the application layer - where things decompose into microservices - and at the data layer where NoSQL offers better horizontal scaling and fitness for specific purpose.
We'll look at:
Josh (@starbuxman) is the Spring Developer Advocate at Pivotal. Josh is a Java Champion, author of 5 books (including O'Reilly's upcoming Cloud Native Java: Designing Resilient Systems with Spring Boot, Spring Cloud, and Cloud Foundry) and 3 best-selling video trainings (including Building Microservices with Spring Boot Livelessons with Spring Boot co-founder Phil Webb), and an open-source contributor (Spring Boot, Spring Integration, Spring Cloud, Activiti and Vaadin)

Fars News Agency, a semi-official mouth piece of the Iranian regime, earnestly published a word-for-word duplicate of an article from the Onion, a spoof news organisation based in Chicago.
The satirical article cited a fake Gallup poll which found that 77 per cent of white, rural voters would rather go to a baseball game or have a beer with Mr Ahmadinejad than with the US president.
It went on to cite a made-up West Virginian named Dale Swiderski, who said that he preferred the Iranian to Mr Obama because: "He takes national defense seriously, and he'd never let some gay protesters tell him how to run his country like Obama does."
Fars, which loyally prints the anti-Western and anti-Israeli tirades of senior Iranian officials, copied the entire Onion article without giving any indication of its source.
It printed the short bulletin in English but did not appear to have translated it into Farsi.
Will Tracy, the editor of the Onion, released a statement joking that Fars was a subsidiary of the Onion. "They have acted as our Middle Eastern bureau since the mid 1980s, when the Onion's publisher, T. Herman Zweibel, founded Fars with the government approval of the late Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khomeini. The Onion freely shares content with Fars and commends the journalists at Iran's Finest News Source on their superb reportage."
Many news organisations have fallen victim to the Onion's mock-serious news style. In 2004, a Beijing paper reported on an Onion piece which claimed that members of Congress were threatening to move out of Washington unless their lavatories were upgraded.

…a particularly pernicious pattern of argumentation that I want to identify, debate, and debunk. It is the argument that consciously selecting music with the aim of increasing equity, inclusion, and diversity in classical music makes it less likely that the performer will program "the best music," the music of highest artistic integrity, because they are now selecting for an arbitrary trait rather than solely based on the musical merits.
Here's what's wrong with that:

I'm never surprised when people tell me they love to cook and sometimes think of quitting their high paying (boring) corporate job and finding a new home in the kitchen. Culinary schools are loaded with "older" folk who have committed to changing careers - especially those that offer certificates. Certificates or Grande Diplomas are the way to go if you already have a college degree as these programs focus on the hands-on component.
Life in the kitchen is rewarding, but it comes at a cost - lower wages, long hours and physical exhaustion. While I am not trying to scare you, I'm just being realistic.
I wrote the bulk of this a while ago, however, it is still relevant. So, is culinary school worth it? It's not a straightforward answer, and what's right for one person may not be for another. If you know someone struggling over whether or not culinary school makes sense, feel free to share this information.
1. It's EXPENSIVE! #thisaintcheap is an understatement. You're going to pay upwards of $25,000 then graduate to try to find a job that pays $10/hour (If you're lucky!) Oh, and good luck with benefits.
2. Time Consuming. Many people I attended school with worked a full-time job before heading to class. It's exhausting and eats a good portion of your free time. There's studying and projects to do. Plus, if you really want to succeed, you'll be making puff pastry dough at home, too.
3. Gets you set in your ways. I often come across people who say things like, "Well this is how they taught me in culinary school!" There are many ways to do one task. The best part about working with different people is learning from them. I learn something new every day.
4. It's competitive. This isn't necessarily a bad thing as it can really help motivate you, but don't let that be your focus. Do the best you can do.
5. It may not meet your expectations. You are not in school for 8 years. You cannot spend two weeks blowing sugar. Typically, a technique is demoed, you have an opportunity to try it out and then you move on. If you really want to learn about a specific ingredient or technique in depth, you may have to do it on your own.
1. You're not alone. Think about how scary it can be starting a new job - you don't know anyone, you're low man on the totem pole and you're expected to jump in and know what you're doing. Well, everyone is on the same boat, so it's not as intimidating.
2. Friendships. You are trapped in a room with people who want to do what you do and who love cooking/baking/food. You already have tons in common! I am still friends with many of my classmates and we support each other constantly.
3. Builds a good foundation. At any good institution, you will learn all the basics, and although you may not spend tons of time practicing a particular technique, you will have the knowledge you need to succeed in the real world.
4. Resources. Schools have a tremendous amount of resources - libraries, clubs, workshops and culinary demonstrations - which are usually lead by instructors who you haven't been assigned to your class, or even guest chefs / celebrity chefs.
5. Alumni Services. Job portals, advisors, etc. This is priceless. I still talk regularly with my advisor and she is always willing to help me make smart decisions. She has even helped me land some pretty amazing jobs.
So, as you can see, the ball is in your court. YOU have to decide if it is a smart career choice. You can definitely skip culinary school and build a name for yourself in this industry, but you will have to hustle and build your own support system and create your own connections.
Below are some books that I thoroughly enjoyed. They offer insight into "the daily grind" of the culinary world. I hope they inspire you as much as they've inspired me.
Under the Table: Saucy Tales from Culinary School // Katherine Darling
My Life From Scratch: A Sweet Journey of Starting Over, One Cake at a Time // Gesine Bullock-Prado
Spiced: A Pastry Chef's True Stories of Trails by Fire, After-Hours Exploits, and What Really Goes on in the Kitchen // Dalia Jurgensen
My Life in France // Julia Child
Life, on the Line: A Chef's Story of Chasing Greatness, Facing Death and Redefining the Way We Eat // Grant Achatz
The Apprentice: My Life in the Kitchen // Jacques Pepin

Summer is here and hot chicken can literally be fried on the streets of Broadway. Music City is warm to put it mildly, but the way we see it you've got one option; SWEAT IT OUT, while trying to play it cool.
Lawn Daze is here for you. Consider it your subterranean sound of the next few months while you lay low in your backyard and take turns in the mini-pool. Cold beer in hand.
Featuring local faves Biyo's new hit 'Moments', Los Colognes' 'Flying Apart', and those new guys WONDR debuting their 'Moves'. We're also stoked to see Foster the People circling back around with a few new jams. And of course, anything Nick Murphy and/or Kaytranada is an instant 'go'. Check your ego cuz' we're ALL sweaty. Enjoy.

Step 1: Complete and return the Franchise Application Form
After you have finished reading the enclosed materials thoroughly and if you feel that you do qualify, please fill out the franchise application form and return it to us. Please write down a list of questions concerning the Marrybrown franchise program so that our representative can effectively and efficiently answer them.
Step 2: Systems Orientation Day
After reviewing your application, if you meet our preliminary financial and business qualifications, you will be invited to our Marrybrown headquarters. During your visit, you will meet with key executives from our Franchise Sales, Operations, Training and Marketing departments. Each will provide you with an overview of their department and the support they provide to our franchisees.
Step 3: Franchise Approval
If you decide to pursue a Marrybrown franchise and we have agreed that a franchise relationship will be mutually beneficial, we will notify you within ten days of your visit. You are required to pay the franchise fee upon signing and returning the Letter of Offer to us.
Step 4: Signing of the Franchise Agreement
Marrybrown will provide you with the appropriate franchise documents for you to review with your attorney. You may execute the documents within five business days after receipt and return them to us for our processing.
Step 5: Site Selection Assistance
The Company will assist the franchisee in evaluating a site based on information provided by the franchisee such as traffic volume, proximity to residential and commercial areas, population demographics, lot size and natural or manmade barriers. All sites are subject to the approval of the Company. Such approval in no way represents a guarantee of success by the Company.
Step 6: Training
The Company conducts a Management and Skills Development Program for the benefit of all new and existing franchisees. A new franchisee will attend our 3 months course in a designated restaurant. All training must be successfully completed before the franchised restaurant actually opens for business. Once this training is completed, you will be fully equipped to supervise the construction phase personally.
Step 7: Pre-Opening Preparation
Prior to opening, a marketing representative will work with you to develop an effective Grand Opening Program. An Operations Consultant will also be available to help coordinate your staff training both before and after opening to ensure you get off to a good start. Both of these services will be available to you on an ongoing basis.
