Return To Scene digitally enables the
offshore workforce with launch of AR app
4 September 2018
Aberdeen based Return To Scene Limited, part of James Fisher and Sons plc will launch R2S AR, an enterprise augmented reality (AR) application designed to digitally enable the offshore workforce at the inaugural SPE ENGenious Symposium and Exhibition in Aberdeen this week.
An iterative evolution from the continuous development of Return To Scene's award-winning R2S software, the app will provide the offshore worker with accurate and live information onsite, creating greater accuracy and efficiency gains.
Return To Scene's technical director, Martin MacRae comments:
"R2S AR extends the value proposition of our software to include both remote and onsite users. All data held by our clients in R2S on their projects is now accessible through intrinsically safe mobile devices.
Users can simply point the device at the equipment onsite and R2S AR will provide detailed information on, for example, but not limited to; maintenance history, asset registers and live data feeds.
As a business, we are uniquely placed to immediately tackle the content challenge facing many looking to enter AR space. For us and our clients, the content already exists; R2S AR provides an alternative way to access this data for the use - at the coal face."
Return To Scene has developed an event-specific version of the application for SPE ENGenious, where users can be among the first to experience R2S AR. "R2S AR for ENGenious" is available now at the Google Play Store.

At just after 8 in the evening on June 17, 2015, 21 year old Dylann Roof walked into the Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina. The sandy-haired Roof, with white supremacists ties and leanings sat quietly among the 12 African American worshippers attending a basement Bible study, including The senior pastor, the Rev. Clementa C. Pinckney who was also a Democratic member of the South Carolina Senate.
Just before 9 Roof stood and pulled a pistol from a fanny pack and announced to the stunned attendees that, "I have to do it. You rape our women and you're taking over our country. And you have to go." With that Roof began firing, stopping several times to reload. When he was finished nine were dead.
There were two other attacks against Black churches that night and the next day, one in Tennessee and the other in Virginia. In the weeks to follow, incited and by encouraged by FOX News pundits and Rightwing Talk shows, white hate groups would be suspected in at least 6 church burnings. The Charleston attack was the deadliest church shooting in American history, ranking alongside the 1991 execution-style murders at a Buddhist Temple in Waddell Arizona and the murders of 6 Sikh worshippers at the hands of a white supremacist, Wade Michael Page, at a Wisconsin temple in 2012. Since 2001 some 400 Americans have been killed by white supremacists, including almost 2 dozen law enforcement officers. In 2012 two white supremacists executed 2 Nevada police officers as they ate lunch before storming a nearby Walmart and announcing the start of a white revolution.
The Charleston attack came at a period of heightened racial tension and awareness, amid a national conversation on race which was long overdue. In the weeks and months preceding the attack an alarming trend appeared to be developing after a string of controversial deaths and assaults by police which were caught on video. Just a week earlier a police officer in Texas slammed a 14 year old girl in a swimsuit to the ground and drew his weapon after complaints that Black teen agers had attended a pool party in a predominantly white neighborhood.
After the Charleston gunman, Dylann Roof was seen in photographs with a Confederate flag became the symbol of a racist thread still evident and virulent in the American weave. Republicans quickly countered that Americans, in particular republican and southern white Americans were not racist. While that was partly true, it was obvious that the Republican Party and its Tea Party offshoot had adopted icons and legacies of a more overtly racist and traitorous past.
On the candidate trail the reaction was predictable. While all of the candidates, Republican and Democrat, condemned the shooting itself, they split along seemingly irreconcilable partisan lines. Clinton, Sanders, Chafee and O'Malley all cited America's legacy of racism. Clinton and Sanders both called for greater gun control. Roof had obtained the gun legally through a loophole in the law which does not require documentation or licensing of person to person private sales. With a pending felony charge he was prohibited from buying the gun in a store. The Republican candidates, in contrast to Democrats, were quick to defend the Confederate flag and guns, even before the victims had been publically identified. Others on the Republican side were silent.
Former Texas governor Rick Perry, who was adamant about calling the Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan a terrorist instead dubbed the Charleston shooting an accident. Rand Paul jumped quickly to defend the broadest possible interpretation of the Second amendment. The NRA blamed the victims for not being armed, which included an 83 year old woman and her 7 year old granddaughter. Jeb Bush said that he didn't know if the attack was racially motivated, then canceled a trip to Charleston. Neither Lindsay Graham nor Rick Santorum could bring themselves to admit the attack was racially motivated, despite Roof telling his surviving victims and the police that his actions were indeed racially motivated!
In fact, none of the candidates on the right could bring themselves to describe the attack in terms of domestic terrorism. The issue, which seems obvious to most on the Left and many on the Right, would indicate a growing crisis in American society that is not being squarely addressed in the media and by too many political figures on the Right, especially among the current crop of presidential candidates. Many of those same pundits demand any act committed by a Muslim to be described as terrorism. Not such demand or outrage was made regarding the Charleston Massacre.
That might point to a deeper and darker problem America faces in confronting homegrown terrorism. Former FBI agent Mike German, who specialized in domestic counterterrorism from 1988 to 2004 told Democracy Now's Amy Goodman that:
"…you can imagine the different reaction that would have occurred if Dylann Roof was wearing an ISIS flag on his jacket rather than a Rhodesia flag. And for somebody like me who knows a lot about the white supremacist movement and having been undercover in it, seeing those symbols, seeing the target—you know, the Emanuel AME Church, like many AME churches, isn't just the spiritual center of the black community, it's the political center, it's the social center, so the fact that it's targeted fits the FBI definition, which is an act of violence intended to intimidate or coerce a civilian population. And the political purpose is obvious. One of the victims, who was specifically picked out, was a state legislator. So the idea that somehow this wasn't political, I think, says a lot about the way the FBI views terrorism."
In 2009 the Department of Homeland Security disbanded a unit tasked with looking at domestic rightwing terror groups. Since then the number of hate groups in America has mushroomed to more than 1000 in 2008, according to the Southern Poverty Law Institute, which tracks white supremacists hate groups, to more than 2100 by 2010. Both Michael Savage and Rush Limbaugh describe SPLI, for its outspoken investigations about white hate groups, as a terror group that should be closed down. Savage, through music choices and guests regularly courts a white extremist agenda paraded as populist.
What that points to is a problem with race that America seems unwilling or unable to come to terms with. Both Clinton and Sanders appeared to be in agreement on the issue of race and guns in America. Clinton forcefully condemned the shootings and was more candid than ever before regarding racism. Sen. Sanders issued a statement saying, "The Charleston church killings are a tragic reminder of the ugly stain of racism that still taints our nation." Earlier this year, however, according the Huffington Post's Paul Blumenthal and Ryan Grim (http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2015/05/31/hillary-clinton-speeches-keystone_n_7463108.html)
Clinton took $1.6 million in speaking fees from the Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce (CIBC) and TD Bank, both closely connected to the Keystone XL Pipeline. The pipeline remains a hot button issue with Progressives and Liberals who aggressively oppose the pipeline over environmental, safety and property rights concerns. Grim and Blumenthal write that:
Both banks have financial ties to TransCanada, the company behind the Keystone XL pipeline, and have advocated for a massive increase in pipeline capacity, including construction of Keystone. Further, Gordon Giffin, a CIBC board member and onetime U.S. ambassador to Canada, is a former lobbyist for TransCanada and was a contributions bundler for Clinton's 2008 presidential campaign.
It is the belief that Hillary tends to play strongly to the ambiguous, except where it is politically safe and expedient. Her stand on banks is illustrative. While saying she would be tough on Wall Street…
It is arguable that the United States had not had a true statesman or stateswoman in recent history. President Jimmy Carter, John F. Kennedy and Dwight D. Eisenhower are the first examples that come to mind. In 1990 Sanders, running as an independent against Republican Rep. Peter Smith, benefitted from an NRA campaign against Smith who supported a ban on assault weapons. While the NRA money did not go to support Sanders, his silence was enough to allow him to beat Smith and the Democratic challenger. In 1994 Sanders voted in favor of a ban on assault weapons, a vote which some believe nearly cost him his House seat that same year.
Certainly the gun issue in America and the debate in Congress has been a contentious, complex and evolving one. There are, according to one conservative website, roughly 32000 gun deaths in, with close to a 1000 accidental shootings (which the pro-gun site attempts to minimize) and about 11000 homicides. More than half of gun deaths, almost 60% are suicides. With accidental deaths, and since most homicides are committed by acquaintances, spouses and family members, that means that gun owners are far more likely to die by a gun in the home than by a stranger's hand. What that describes is an effort by the gun lobby to manipulate public opinion for sales, portraying a community as far more dangerous than it actually is. The gun proliferation industry has gone so far as to fictionalize even the Holocaust, pushing historical revisionism to the point of saying the Hitler's so-called banning and confiscation of guns led to the deaths of millions of Jews.
There are numerous credible sources regarding Hitler and guns. The Nazis did not impose any gun registration or restriction laws. In fact, the Weimar government plagued with rampant violence and near insurrection between communist organizations and Nazis imposed restrictions targeting both groups. Those laws remained in place and were merely tightened in 1938 against Jews. At less than 1.5%, or about 500,000 people, the Jewish population would have merely escalated and hastened their destruction with a token insurrection, that is if enough could have foreseen the Holocaust, which to most Jews in Europe, despite the growing hate speech and isolated violence against Jews still remained unfathomable in 1938. (http://www.straightdope.com/columns/read/1791/did-hitler-ban-gun-ownership)
For Bernie Sanders the issue resonates strongly. Sanders, the youngest of two sons, was born toPolish parents fleeing the Nazis. The war would end before the family would learn that almost the entire family in Poland had been wiped out in the Holocaust. Through the Nuremburg trials of Nazi war criminals the world and America would weigh the difference between vengeance and justice through the rule of law. Sanders father was paint salesman. Life in Brooklyn in the 1940s and 50s was defined in the hard-scrabble culture of poor and working class families. There were lessons to be learned there, Sanders, looking back at those formative years is candid about those lessons.

MacKay tied to Schreiber
Oh Boy!!! What a tangled web we weave.
It just keeps getting more and more interesting. I bet you can't wait to see the action next week in the House of Commons eh!
Jane Taber continues to be an overwhelmingly good source for new, enlightening information on this soon to be bigger-than-Harper-thinks scandal.
Here's her Globe article today that links Schreiber to the MacKay's. Leads me to believe that this current Government new a lot more about this scandal - and a lot sooner - than they would be leading us all to believe. We thank the Globe for always being on top of scandalous things.
From Saturday's Globe and Mail
November 10, 2007 at 12:20 AM EST
Brian Mulroney is taboo.
The decision by Prime Minister Stephen Harper to ban his government members from speaking to the former prime minister goes to the heart of the significance of yesterday's announcement.
Mr. Harper has been previously proud to stand shoulder to shoulder with Mr. Mulroney, the former Conservative prime minister, declaring him "indispensable."
At a lavish dinner in Ottawa last year, honouring Mr. Mulroney as Canada's "greenest prime minister," Mr. Harper credited Mr. Mulroney with having worked behind the scenes to help broker the deal that led to the merger of the Canadian Alliance and the Progressive Conservative Party.
He also said Mr. Mulroney played a "private" but "indispensable" role as a friend and political confidant, joking that it's lonely being a Conservative leader and even lonelier as a Conservative prime minister.
But that all changed yesterday: And whether their separation becomes permanent now depends on the findings of the third-party probe.
During his dramatic news conference announcing he was appointing a fact finder to look into the dealings between Airbus lobbyist Karlheinz Schreiber and Mr. Mulroney, Mr. Harper cautioned his cabinet ministers and others in government from speaking to Mr. Mulroney.
"I've not discussed this course of action with Mr. Mulroney," he said after being asked whether he had consulted with the former prime minister. "And I think it will be incumbent upon myself and also upon members of the government not to have dealings with Mr. Mulroney until this issue is resolved."
For some in the Harper government this will be difficult. Although Mr. Harper has not surrounded himself entirely with former Mulroney-ites, there are a few key people in his government with very long and strong ties to the former prime minister.
For example, Marjory LeBreton, Government Leader in the Senate, served in senior roles in the Mulroney PMO. The 67-year-old cabinet minister was appointed to the Senate by Mr. Mulroney in 1993, shortly before he retired. It is said that as a senator she is Mr. Mulroney's eyes and ears on Parliament Hill. The two speak almost daily.
And Peter MacKay, 42, the Defence Minister, and his father, Elmer, remain close to Mr. Mulroney. The senior Mr. MacKay served in the Mulroney cabinet; he also gave up his seat so that Mr. Mulroney could have a seat in the Commons when he was elected opposition leader. The elder Mr. MacKay has also been a supporter of Mr. Schreiber, acting as a surety for the businessman's bail applications.
Meanwhile, the younger Mr. MacKay, who served as the federal Progressive Conservative leader, is a friend of Mr. Mulroney, speaks to him regularly and is also close to the Mulroney boys, Ben and Mark.
As well, Mr. MacKay was supported in his leadership by Fred Doucet. Mr. Doucet is the adviser to the former prime minister who, Mr. Schreiber alleges in his affidavit, asked him to transfer funds to Mr. Mulroney's lawyer in Geneva, Switzerland. During Mr. MacKay's leadership bid in 2003, Mr. Doucet helped to broker a deal between Mr. MacKay and his opponent, David Orchard, in return for Mr. Orchard's support. The controversial deal specified that the free-trade agreement, which the Mulroney government fought an election over, would be reviewed by a blue-ribbon party committee. Mr. Orchard was against free trade.
So, you have the Minister of Defence that knows a few things about Mr. Schreiber. How much deeper could it be? The Minister of Justice, Rob Nicholson happened to be a part of Mulroney's caucus, and later a cabinet member under Kim Campbell. Did he know anything?...we know that he received a memo saying he never received a memo.
Let me get this straight. The Minister of Defence's father is the surety for a wanted man?
Yep. Should be interesting stuff. I almost wish I was important enough to have my blog read by the thousands like say, Stephen Taylor, Steve Janke, Warren Kinsella, Jason Cherniak, Small Dead Animals, Red Tory. I'd really get this story out there. Yep. I would.

Marc Faber: The Old World order is Over
'The US reached a peak in prosperity and influence in the world in the 1950s or 1960s,' said Faber. But since the 70s the superpower has been locked into a cycle of bubbles, busts and growing debt.'There are some people who claim to be economists who will tell you debts do not matter,''When you drop dollar bills into the economy…it won't lift all prices and assets equally at the same time,' he said. In the 60s and 70s, extra money flowing through the economy inflated wages; in the early 2000s, money printing inflated commodities. But, Faber points out, this price and asset growth is never equal. - via counting pips
Marc Faber is an international investor known for his uncanny predictions of the stock market and futures markets around the world.Dr. Doom also trades currencies and commodity futures like Gold and Oil.

Competition for talent is fierce, and employer branding – or communicating why your company is a great place to work – is becoming a more sophisticated and more critical part of a recruiting strategy. While you communicate an employer brand in many ways, it's most important on the corporate career site, where you have the opportunity to convert people you've touched through other channels into potential future employees. A poor user experience on your career site negatively impacts your employer brand and greatly reduces the chance that people will fill out an application.Download this paper to discover five best practices that can help make your career site your # 1 recruiting asset.

I love writing speeches but it's always a challenge to nail the right mix of emotion and humour, tell a great story and leave the audience with something memorable to take away.
Here are a few things I've been focusing on to make the speech writing process easier:
- Focus on one idea or theme. Great orators can juggle and weave five different story threads and bring them together with a bang at the end. For the rest of us, it's best to keep it simple. Martin Luther King's "I have a dream" speech is my favourite example of how simple, singular ideas can work so well. This brilliant speech makes a lot of powerful points but the single idea of "I have a dream" makes it hang together beautifully and makes it memorable.
- Use your voice. It's important to show your original thought – and clichés or hackneyed phrases can detract from that.
- Write how you speak. When speeches fail it's often because the writer has crafted a research essay, rather than a script. Always rehearse your speech before you deliver it. The writing should help your speaking to flow naturally and add expression in the delivery.
- Don't get trapped reading out a long list of thank yous. It's boring and detracts from the main event. Keep the thanks simple, sincere and brief.
- If you're in a new culture, get advice on how to deliver greetings, thanks and farewells appropriately.
- Follow your notes but try not to read it. My trick to delivering a speech without making it look like I'm reading the script is big font. I write my speech notes out in full but use bullet points in 25-point font. This gives me four to five bullet points on a page – about the right amount to juggle keeping on track with quality delivery.
- Great speeches have structure, delivered through a beginning, a middle and end. Introductions and conclusions don't need to be clever and gimmicky but they need to be clear and have meaning.
- Jokes are great if you can do them well. But if you don't feel like you can be funny then just focus on being sincere.
- Time yourself. Know your word count. Stick to it. The audience and event managers will thank you.
- Finally, don't do or say any of these things.

Host: PwC, Strandvejen 44, Hellerup
Are you a Danish or Oresund company who is in the early stages of expanding to the US? Do you know how to get the right visas for your US staff as well as protect them from US tax mistakes?
Many companies in the Greater Copenhagen region have gone beyond the "dream" of expanding to the US and are taking their first steps to place one or more employees "over there". Some decide to just go live there and test it out, while others take a more studied approach.
We had over 50 registrations for this popular event about what types of visas you should get for different types of employees, the pros and cons of the various visa types, and what types of tax and social insurance issues you should consider and plan for before you move yourself or your employees to the US.
See some of what was covered here.
Speakers included a legal and visa expert from California, tax-planning advisors from both California and Denmark, as well as visa staff from the US Embassy in Copenhagen. And last but certainly not least, a Danish company who is in the process of placing several staff as it expands to US.
Participants received the presentations. If you are a member who wasn't signed up but would like the presentations, just let us know at email@example.com!

Now, as a server in a restaurant in Savannah, Daniel works for tips and shares a small living space with his cousin. Coming to America was an emotional strain for him. He had to leave his family, and did not know anyone in the states at the time. Although he loves everything that the United States has to offer and has made friends here, Daniel still finds himself longing to be with his family.
"I moved here for a dream of freedom and prosperity for me and my family because American money is much better than my country's," he said. The uncertainty of ever seeing his family again is the difficult part.
Daniel's is one of many families divided by borders. T.H. Gindling and Sara Poggio researched the effects of family separation on school-age children. In their 2009 report, "Family Separation and the Educational Success of Immigrant Children,"Gindling and Poggio found that 44.5 percent of Hispanic children in the U.S. were separated from their parents in 2003. They also found it common for families to become separated when parents migrate to the United States – either leaving their children behind or having their children migrate when they are older.
In some cases, immigrants leave their children in the United States as they move back to their home country. This is the case with "Martin's" family (not his real name).
"This is my home; I grew up here. Sure, all my family is there … but I have no true emotional ties to them... all I can ever really remember is the sounds of their voices from static phone calls."
– Martin
Martin's parents say they have seen everything that the United States has to offer, and they are not satisfied. The family, originally from Pacaya, Guatemala, first came to East Tennessee after civil war broke out in their country and spread to the small towns and rural areas.
After more than 20 years of living in the United States, Martin, 25, said he barely remembers what his grandparents look like. He remembers them through photographs and the brief weeks they had spent together. Martin tried to persuade his parents and brother, who are adamant about returning to Guatemala, that America is where their opportunities lie. However, they say family and heritage are more important.
"That is their home," said Martin. "Honestly, any person can move far away from where they grew up but there is never a replacement from where your true home is. That's where all their family is. Everyone that they're related to is there, and it's a much happier place."
In 2007, the family traveled back to Guatemala to spend time with relatives. This was the first time that Martin had met his grandparents and other family members. On this trip, his parents came to the conclusion that they wanted to leave the United States behind for a more simple life. Martin does not agree; he does not want to abandon American luxuries and, more importantly, the country.
"This is my home; I grew up here," said Martin. "Sure, all my family is there … but I have no true emotional ties to them because growing up across borders made it hard to have any type of relationship with my family members. All I can ever really remember is the sounds of their voices from static phone calls."
Kayla Bowker, 23, is also of Guatemalan descent and lives in East Tennessee. An American family adopted her as an infant. She has lived her entire life separated from her biological mother in Guatemala. As Bowker grew older, she became more curious about her heritage and any family still living in Guatemala.
"It brings an element of curiosity, questioning and even disconnect," said Bowker. "I associate myself as Guatemalan and I appreciate the Guatemalan culture more because it is about family and pride in oneself. I would love to go back to Guatemala. I know it would be very emotional because I would want to find my birth mother."
Bowker has plans to visit Guatemala, possibly within the next year.
Meanwhile, Martin chooses to live at home with his parents until they move back to Guatemala. He wants to spend every moment that he can with them now because he will not have the same opportunity when they are separated by borders.
"It's going to be hard to live without my parents here when they move, and I would move there but I know I would be unhappy," he said. "I will admit, it [Guatemala] is a happier place with a peaceful way of life, but some of the people I have here are replacements for family that I have never had, so I could never leave that."

A former Gala Day Queen is hoping to be crowned the winner of a personality and beauty contest.
Meg Wright (22) was the Queen at Linlithgow Gala Day in 2005 and is aiming to become the first woman from the town to win Miss West Lothian since the charity event started in 1994.
Meg says she's lively and energetic and does pole fitness. And she's hoping to not only fly high in the competition but also as a mechanic in the RAF.
She said: "I'm applying for the RAF. It's something a bit different. I feel as though the effect of dental nursing has worn off. There's so many opportunities and benefits with the RAF.
"My cousin Nicky is in the RAF and he tells me he gets to travel the world. It sounds great."
Meg grew up in Linlithgow and went to Linlithgow Primary School. She was the Gala Day Queen aged 11 and now she has another crown in her sights.
She said: "I've seen the competition come up every year and my mum Margaret mentioned it to me so I thought why not!
"It would be nice to win but it is just a bit of fun. There's so many pretty girls that have entered and my family and friends have been so supportive. It's going to a good cause which is great."
Entries are now being taken for the event with the proceeds going to the charity SANDS Lothians.
An entry form is now available at the website www.misswestlothian.co.uk.
Entrants should be aged 16 or over by 5 April.

Family coats-of-arms, mottoes, and the like are to be seen all over the city of Rome. Here is an interesting one that seems to belong to the historic Del Bufalo family, on a building that is between the Trevi Fountain and the Spanish Steps:
The Latin means, "Fierce with the fierce" (or "Savage with the savages"), and the animal head beneath it is that of a lioness.
Sounds like it was a pleasant family to do business with, marry into, etc., huh?

The thing I love about the Paleo/Primal diet/lifestyle is how easy it is when compared to other diets. A diet shouldn't be something scientific, or something hard to follow. A paleo/primal dieter who follows the basic tenets can be followed WITHOUT measuring, weighing, counting or calculating any food quantities and calories, can lose serious weight and get seriously healthy.
That being said, being a very inquisitiveness type of person, I will do a quick calorie and macro-nutrient check on some of my favourite meals. There are countless online tools to do that on the web. Sometimes however I would like to do a check on the Potential Renal Acid Load (PRAL) of my everyday meals.
The PRAL is essentially how much acids are ending up in your kidneys. The more acids that arrive, the more calcium must be pulled out of your bones to neutralise it, which promotes bone demineralisation. For a much more in depth explanation to what I am talking about, please read Professor Cordains post on the subject.http://thepaleodiet.com/nutritional_tools/acid.shtml
To simply things for myself (I am really lazy) I have put together an excel spreadsheet which, based on the amount of the type of food, calculates your overall PRAL for a meal.

You ask. We answer.
In event of hospitalisation even if you have a standard Mediclaim policy, you may have to make some "out of pocket" expenditure like food, conveyance etc. Hospi Cash will pay a fixed benefit amount for each day of hospitalisation to take care of such incidental expenses and thus reduce out of pocket expenditure.
No, Hospi Cash is a benefit policy which means the benefit amount is not related to actual expenses hence original bills are not required. Bills and documents (original) asked at the time of claim are for checking the admissibility and will be returned to you.
We offer up to Rs. 3000 per day benefit under Hospi Cash. Moreover in case of ICU hospitalisation the benefit amount will be double (same city) or triple (other city).
Yes, we will pay additional Rs. 5,000 as convalescence/ recovery benefit if the insured is hospitalised for consecutive period exceeding 10 days.

Light up your craft space – Ottlite Review & Giveaway!December 07, 2011, 10:46 am Posted by Lark
How much time a week do you spend in your crafty space? Right…. probably a lot! I know I do, and I'm just getting settled into a new space after moving this summer. There's a lot to consider when you're putting together a craft space that reflects your style and – probably most importantly – serves you well. There are storage options to consider – especially for us fabric-a-holics – and work stations to build, design walls to mount and spool holders to hang… and then adjustments that happen after you've actually started working there, all until you get your space just right for you.
One thing that threw me for a loop in my new space was lighting – lovely during the day but rather wretched at night. The track lighting overhead that serves as my main source of light throws some pretty dark shadows throughout my space. Have you ever picked out what seemed like "perfect" fabrics at night only to find they weren't so perfect the next day? Me too! But I couldn't figure out why that was happening…
(Read more and enter to win after the jump!)
Hello, Ottlite Craft Caddy Lamp! When we were asked if we'd review one for the blog, I jumped at the chance. I've known about Ottlites for some time, but it seems they've definitely stepped up their game and their offerings in recent years. I must say: this little lamp is pretty nice. With storage bins, a handle for quick transport, a telescoping light, and a relatively small footprint in your craft space, this is the perfect solution when lighting isn't, well, perfect. And it's just the thing for hand stitching, which I happen to love. My fabric colors seems to be truer as well, even if I'm picking them out at night.
The actual light that the lamp gives off is quite bright, which was a little hard to get used to at first; I think I've just been working in darkness for too long! But I can see this being useful for all types of crafting: beading, jewelry making, all manner of stitching…anything that involves detailed work. And the added storage is such a plus – I tend to have lots of tools all out at the same time. It's nice that they now have a space to go but can still be quickly accessed.
All in all, the Crafty Caddy Lamp has been a definite improvement for my crafting space! I'm not sure that it's the kind of thing I would have thought to buy for myself (since I'm currently in save-for-new-sewing-machine mode), but I'm now convinced that lighting is probably as important – if not more – than any other tool in my workspace. And I'm so excited to offer one up here, thanks to the generous folks at Ottlie!
To enter to win an Ottlite Craft Caddy Lamp, please leave a comment on this post by 9 p.m. EST on Wednesday, December 14. Any comment is fine—though we'd love to hear what's on your holiday craft wishlist. One winner will be selected at random from among all eligible entries and notified by Friday, December 16. Click here for the official rules. Comments for this giveaway are closed. Thanks to everyone who commented to enter: the winner will be announced soon!
Congratulations to Nancy who wrote: "I would really love to win this lamp. I've been wanting one for some time now. My sewing table definitely needs more light. As far as my Christmas crafting list goes, I would really love to have a GO Baby."

Science, Research and Findings on Dancing
What Science and Research Have to Say about Dancing
- Dancing Enhances Neuroplasticity
Some who conducted studies in this field, such as neurologists, neuroscientists and other health care professionals, all agree that dancing could lower the risk of neurological disorders, such as dementia. Dancing seems to improve and increase cognitive reserves and the complexion of neuronal synapses.
- Dancing Makes People More Intelligent
Some will claim that one of the most important aspects of an intelligent being is the ability to make quick, accurate decisions in the blink of an eye. That is how many species deal with life threatening situations going for something which, ultimately, might lead to survival. Dancing demands a high level of fast-paced coordination and instant decision making between mind and body, known as bodily kinesthetic intelligence. This is not only attributed to skilful dancers but also to gymnasts and athletes who are able to control their bodies and coordinate moves at an amazingly rapid pace.
- Dancing Can Improve Muscle and Brain Memory
Through extensive research, kinesiologists and experts in biomechanics have found that dancers are able to accomplish a series of complex moves combined after many sessions of hard work, training and rehearsals. Other specialists and researchers such as neurologists have found that dancing can slow down the ageing of the brain and boost memory, and it increases neural connectivity as well.
These are only a handful in a list of countless reasons why people should be dancing more. Not only can dancing be a therapeutic activity, but it will also release endorphins and dopamine in the brain. Which, in turn, will have a relaxing effect on the body and will make you feel in a better mood, happier and less anxious (should you feel that this is one of the traits in your character). So, as the Bee Gees used to sing, you should be dancing, yeah!

How does one say goodbye to a dear friend who has passed too soon. Sometimes, it escapes me how cruel life can turn out to be. The loss of a loved one is not a thing that you can prepare for ahead of time. Events occurred and things can change very quickly from one moment to the next. In one moment things are fine then next thing you know, things turn for the worse. It all happened so quickly that there was no time to piece it all together. You go into a sort of shock and in the moment, things just go quiet.
I was at a loss for words when I heard the sad news. A good friend of mine, Tan Phan passed away Monday night. The news was something that I never wanted to hear about. I feared the day that I would have to face it. I try to take comfort in hearing that he went peacefully but a part of me does not want to let go since it was all too soon. He was a guy who received the short end of the stick in life and made the most of it.
My good friend, Tan was a terrific guy. He was the type of guy that hated idling around. While he was awaiting a new kidney, I could tell that he frustrated that he was not doing more with his life. But given his predicament, he made the best hands with the cards that he was dealt. I recall him having a new take on life when he received a new kidney. He wanted to go out there. Do more! See more! And experience everything that life throws at him. Every time I spoke with him, he had a new idea for a new adventure. At one point, you just couldn't keep him still. It was as if he was infused with a new sense of purpose and he went all in!
Tan and I would talk for hours over a cup of coffee at the Hamilton mountain brow. This was the place that we would go to, just to shoot the shit. With a hot cup of coffee in our hands and a great view of the city, we would talk of hobbies and travels. We were both into photography so we were always comparing notes. We were both on the road often so we were always dreaming of new destinations to visit. The road trip to the west coast was something that he and I were supposed to do together but due to bad timing, I went alone and he went a year later. His road trip would kick my road trip's ass any day. He explored while he was out there. He met new people. He did a lot of things at the spur of the moment. I have no idea how he planned his trip but he was all over the map. Looking at his pictures and videos, he did a lot more than what I did.
Tan and I would engage in many conversations and discussions about life in general. If you have ever spoken with Tan, you probably would have a hard time comprehending what goes on inside his head. Sometimes, he would have to explain his ideas a couple of times before I understood the idea that he was trying to convey. We saw many things eye to eye since we had a lot of things in common but we also had our difference. We never let our differences come between us though. Tan had his own insights on life and would express it when he could. His outlook on life was that you go out there and live it to the fullest. He would prefer that you seize the moment and make the most of it and not idling around. But at the same time, he was willing to grab that one cup of coffee with you. He saw the large and the small things in life. He took each day as a challenge to better himself. He was a guy with big dreams! A guy who wanted to explore the world.
Tan did not have much in life albeit, he didn't need much. He had a dream and rather than staying in bed and dreaming about it, he woke up and chased it. His car and whatever he could fit in it was all he needed. You can tell a lot about a person by looking at the things that made them happy.
Tan Phan
December 30, 1981 – February 10, 2014
Mieng, it was an honour and a pleasure to have such a great friend.
Life as I know it, will not be the same without you.
I am going to miss our talks over coffee.
I am glad that you were able to make the journey out west.
I will take you with me on every adventure that I go on.
May your travels beyond take you to many undiscovered countries.
Rest in peace.

Niagara - The Cataract City
Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between Canada and the United States; more specifically, between the province of Ontario and the state of New York. They form the southern end of the Niagara Gorge.
From largest to smallest, the three waterfalls are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. The Horseshoe Falls lie mostly on the Canadian side and the American Falls entirely on the American side, separated by Goat Island. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls are also located on the American side, separated from the other waterfalls by Luna Island. The international boundary line was originally drawn through Horseshoe Falls in 1819, but the boundary has long been in dispute due to natural erosion and construction.
Located on the Niagara River, which drains Lake Erie into Lake Ontario, the combined falls form the highest flow rate of any waterfall in the world, with a vertical drop of more than 165 feet (50 m). Horseshoe Falls is the most powerful waterfall in North America, as measured by vertical height and also by flow rate. The falls are located 17 miles (27 km) north-northwest of Buffalo, New York and 75 miles (121 km) south-southeast of Toronto, between the twin cities of Niagara Falls, Ontario, and Niagara Falls, New York.
The Falls-view Tourist Area in Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada is the main tourist attraction surrounding the Falls
The Cave of the Winds was a natural cave behind Bridal Veil Falls at the Niagara Falls. The cave was some 130 feet high, 100 feet wide and 30 feet in depth. It was discovered in 1834, and originally dubbed Aeolus' Cave, after the Greek god of winds
The Niagara Falls-view Casino Resort in Niagara Falls, Ontario opened publicly on June 10, 2004. This $1 billion complex overlooks the Horseshoe Falls and is one of the most prominent features of the Niagara skyline.
The Bridal Veil Falls is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls. It is located on the U.S. side; Luna Island separates it from the American Falls and Goat Island separates it from the Horseshoe Falls
The Prospect Point Park observation tower is a tower located in Niagara Falls, New York, USA and just east of the American Falls
The Rainbow Bridge, officially the Niagara Falls International Rainbow Bridge, is an arch bridge across the Niagara River gorge, and is a world-famous tourist site.
Goat Island is a small island in the Niagara River, located in the middle of Niagara Falls between the Bridal Veil Falls and the Horseshoe Falls.
The Three Sisters Islands are islands which lie off the west shoreline of Goat Island. The islands are part of Niagara Falls, New York
The Lewiston–Queenston Bridge, known in Canada as the "Queenston-Lewiston Bridge" is an arch bridge that crosses the Niagara River gorge just south of the Niagara Escarpment. The bridge was officially opened on November 1, 1962

Lesley Joseph is the latest high-profile performer to take on the coveted role of Miss Hannigan in Annie, the oft-touring Broadway musical that's once again hitting the road.
A heart-warming rags-to-riches story of a little girl who finds herself transported from a New York orphanage to the luxurious world of millionaire Oliver Warbucks, the show features plenty of memorable songs, including It's A Hard Knock Life, I Don't Need Anything But You, Easy Street and, of course, the legendary Tomorrow.
Regent Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent
7.30pm with 2.30pm show Wed & Sat
It's the hard knock life, especially for the children of Miss Hannigan's orphanage. Toughened up by life in the Big Apple, you wouldn't pick a fight with this gang of girls! Cheeky and charming, they're brilliant in every scene. Leader of the ragtag bunch is Annie (Ava Smith for this show), bursting with attitude, hopefulness and wit. Classic number It's The Hard Knock Life is perfectly delivered.
Working the youngsters to the bone is the larger-than-life Miss Hannigan (Anita Dobson), hilariously falling apart as a result of 'looking after' them (and maybe due to the odd tipple as well!).
Hannigan's scheming brother, Rooster (Richard Meek), and his partner, Lily (Jenny Gayner), are both brilliantly sleazy. The scheming gang close in on a plan to take Annie - but will they succeed?
As Annie pieces together her life, symbolised by the clever puzzle-themed set design, she bumps into audience favourite Sandy the dog (Amber). Along the way she meets the hard-done-by people of the city, played by the dazzling Ensemble, who also appear as a range of colourful characters in show-stopping numbers such as NYC and A New Deal For Christmas.
Saving Annie from a life of misery are the endearing Grace Farrell (Carolyn Maitland) and the charming Daddy Warbucks (Alex Bourne), a lovable Lex Luthor lookalike with all the money in the world but nobody to love. Annie brings true joy into his life, and the pair are wonderfully inseparable from thereon in.
Annie is more relevant than ever in these challenging and uncertain times. At its heart it's a show about love, unity and hope in times of struggle. Presented with a welcome slice of old-school Broadway razzmatazz, it transports its audience to the NYC of their dreams.
Catch it while you can at the Wolverhampton Grand. It runs until Saturday 23 February.

John Tabin for the Daily Download:
At an election night event in Tel Aviv, as the first exit polls began to leak out, the refrain among reporters was "I think we got the story wrong."
The mistake reporters generally made was focusing on the conflict with the Palestinians while the Israeli electorate was focusing on other issues. Among the most pressing issues in Israeli politics concerns the role of the Haredim (also known as the ultra-Orthodox); for legal reasons, the law that effectively exempts them from the draft is on the next Knesset's agenda. Lapid made reform on this front a centerpiece of his campaign; Remnick's long feature didn't mention it.
Reporters who focus more closely on Israel's domestic politics did much better in their pre-election reporting. Gil Hoffman of the Jerusalem Post pointed out that Bennett's appeal was personality- and biography-driven, and had little to do with his views on the Palestinians or settlements; he avoided talking about them, and faltered when he did. Ben Birnbaum, a Jerusalem-based correspondent for The New Republic, spotted the late surge for the center and the left (the left-leaning coalition scenario he envisioned won't quite happen, but it came close).

My lack of down time has meant blogging has not only taken a back seat, but it's been put in the trunk! But my new website has inspired me to make writing a priority as I love sharing what I'm working on with my readers.
I first shared my Broomsage project in May, but the project actually started in November 2015. There have been a number of starts and stops, due to client decisions and long delivery times on a few furniture selections. But, we are back on track and ready to get this project photographed. Since my {first look} post a ton of things have happened. Furniture was delivered, window treatments installed and lighting changed, but it's the final touches that are still left to do. The wall decor is very important to this client, so it has taken time to find just the right pieces.
The dining room is on track and we have a few final details. I can't decide what I love more - the new chandelier or the orchid prints?
In the master bedroom, we kept almost all of the client's bedroom furniture. But, since I'm not a fan of everything matching, we decided to replace the night stands. They were perfect with the crystal lamps that belonged to my client's grandmother. Oh, and did I mention the beautiful draperies!
The built-ins in the family room got a total reset. 99% of what we used, the client had. I love using personal treasures to tell a client's story!
I'm looking forward to getting professional photos taken very soon and sharing them on my website. This one is definitely portfolio worthy!
