I am attending Denver Comic Con for the very first time this year, and I could not be more excited.
They have a pretty fantastic guest lineup this year: Chandler Riggs, Stephen Amell, Adam West, Levar Burton, and Michael Rooker, just to name a few. The con is also going to focus heavily on gaming this year which has got me SO excited! In addition to having several interactive games for available to play in their Vector Loung–games that will appeal to every style of gamer–they'll also have educational panels with industry professionals for those interested in breaking into the gaming industry. John at Girls of Geek 12 talks about it here.
I'm pretty excited for the experience. My original plan was to just go, no cosplay or anything. However, now that I actually have a ticket in my hand, there's that little voice in the back of my head that's whispering, "You should totally dress up." Here's the thing though. I am not great with costumes. I can hardly sew (it took me almost an hour to sew the elastics and ribbons onto my pointe shoes), and I don't have a lot of discretionary cash that I can pump into my costume. So… that makes this sudden urge to cosplay at the con a bit frustrating.
I've still not decided, but I've told myself that I either have to go in a costume I'm proud of, or no costume at all. I say this because I frequently half-ass costumes when I'm invited to costume parties. A great example being my "Khaleesi" costume from the Game of Thrones party I attended a few days ago–though the whole point was for everyone to half-ass a costume, so I wasn't alone. Still, I could totally see myself going to a costume party dressed like that.
So, to keep myself from embarrassing myself, I've started a Pinterest board of non-sewing (or very light sewing), easy, and cheap cosplay ideas. This way I can really make a plan if I do decide to attend the con in cosplay. If you want to see some of the things I've pinned (they tend to be Doctor Who-leaning), you can check out the board here. Also, if you have any suggestions for cheap and easy cosplay ideas, I'd love to hear about them in the comments! I'd also love to hear about your comic con/cosplay adventures.

Worried about Backup and Recovery of your MySQL Databases? MySQL Backup school from Zmanda provides hands on and in depth training on Backup and Recovery of MySQL. Just sign up and show up with your laptop. More information available here.
Archive for March, 2008
MySQL Backup and Recovery Training from ZmandaMonday, March 31st, 2008
Amanda at the UM-LUGWednesday, March 26th, 2008
Tonight, I visited Amanda's alma mater, University of Maryland at College Park. I spoke at the local linux users' group, UM-LUG, about Amanda and Amanda development. The group is mostly college students and recent grads, and asked a lot of great questions on a range of topics.
I began with a quick overview of Amanda and its basic structure, then jumped into a look at the new develpoment in Amanda, hilighting the Device API, Application API, Transfer Architecture, and the perl rewrite, and looking at some of the exciting new features each of these projects will enable. The audience was hungry for something a bit more technical, so we dove into the details of Amanda's new data handling model as an example of the interesting engineering problems we get to solve.
At this point, we transitioned to a discussion mode, and talked about open-source development in general, comparing the communities and development processes of a number of well-known open-source applications: Firefox/Mozilla, Gentoo, Linux Kernel, Python, PHP, and Apache, to name a few. We talked about some of the challenges posed by a commercial entity contributing to an open-source project, and some ways to attract new developers to a project.
Hopefully, some of the attendees will give Amanda a try for their backup needs — the ease and affordability of offsite backups with Amazon S3 was particularly attractive — and perhaps one or two will become Amanda hackers!
Amanda at BaltoLUGMonday, March 24th, 2008
Last Tuesday, I spoke at BaltoLUG — the Baltimore Linux Users' Group — about Amanda. BaltoLUG meetings are fairly informal affairs, so this was more of a conversation about Amanda than a formal presentation.
I gave just enough description of Amanda's setup and operation to start a discussion about the application's strengths and weaknesses. We talked about some of the ongoing development and bandied about a few ideas about new applications or devices. Although this was a small audience of mostly non-programming admins, I hope I piqued someone's interest in Amanda's future, and encouraged some new users.
Sun/MySQL to resell Zmanda Recovery Manager for MySQLTuesday, March 18th, 2008
Today Sun and Zmanda announced our agreement to deliver a comprehensive, global data backup and recovery solution for MySQL Enterprise subscribers. Starting April 1st, MySQL Enterprise customers will be able to purchase ZRM for MySQL directly from Sun worldwide.
I think Zack's comment in the press release captures the rationale for the deal:
"Protecting corporate data through effective backup and recovery is one of the most crucial tasks for a database administrator, and it can be a complex undertaking — especially for today's large Web-scale applications," said Zack Urlocker, VP of products, Sun Microsystems database group. "MySQL users have told us that global backup and recovery is very important to them, and we are thrilled that we can now offer ZRM for MySQL as an easy-to-use solution for protecting all of their MySQL data."
Of course, at Zmanda we are thrilled as well. Sun's sales channels will give us the opportunity to make MySQL Backups radically simple for ever increasing MySQL installations around the world.
Webinar: New Levels of Backup and Recovery for MySQLWednesday, March 12th, 2008
Zmanda has introduced a new version of Zmanda Recovery Manager (ZRM) which adds quite a few capabilities for MySQL users. Version 2.1 includes enhanced snapshot support that enables backup without application downtime or interruption to online data access. Version 2.1 also has global management of backups so that you can manage all your MySQL backup jobs from a single graphical console. You can now run the entire ZRM solution on Solaris as well as on Linux.
Join us for an overview and a live demo of ZRM 2.1 on Thursday 3/20 at 10am PST. Click here to register.

Here's another product I got from CosmoProf Las Vegas on July 9-11, 2017. I already reviewed Lechat in Fantasea. This is one of the brands at Discover Beauty. It is ella + mila. The owner was kind enough to give us one Velvet Matte to try.
Product Review: ella + mila Velvet Matte in X on the Beach
Where to purchase: ULTA and online at ellamila.com
Price: $18 for 0.14 fll oz/ 4 mL
Made in USA
Description from the website: If I run into my ex, I'd hope to be wearing this liquid magic on my lips.
Disteardimonium Hectorite, Cyclopentasiloxane, Isododecane, Isononyl Isononanoate, Styrene-DVB Copolymer, Propylene Carbonate, Tribehenin, Octyldodecanol, C18-36 Acid Triglyceride, Isopropyl Myristate, Vanilla planifolia (Vanilla) Fruit Extract*, Ethyl Vanillin, Mentha Piperita (Peppermint) Oil, Tocopheryl Acetate, Isopropyl Titanium Triisostearate, Stearalkonium Hectorite, Polyhydroxystearic Acid, Limonene
Polish May contain (+/-): Titanium Dioxide CI 77891, Red 7 Lake CI 15850, Yellow 5 lake CI 19140, Blue 1 Lake CI 42090
Thoughts: When I visited the booth, the packaging was really attractive. It drew me in! Not only that, my friend told me it's a growing brand on Instagram. When I thought about it, I saw this brand somewhere even before visiting the booth. I just couldn't remember where and I think she's right it was from Instagram. The owner was kind enough to let me choose one liquid lipstick. I choose the nude/brown tone.
Tarte Make Believe In Yourself Eye & Cheek Palette on the eyes.
Now for my overall opinion... First of all, there's a slight scent while applying. It smells like peppermint and lasts a few minutes. I just sniffed the product, and it has a mixture of peppermint and vanilla. It's an interesting scent but actually I don't mind. Secondly, I like the packaging. It's simple, clean, and it draws me in. It's well-made and sturdy. There are no scratches and finger marks. It also has a sturdy top. It has a tight seal. I can feel a tight squeeze when I open the top. I cannot see it open or break unless you are rough with the packaging. For that reason, it's travel-friendly. Also, it has the typical doe foot applicator you see in most liquid lipsticks. It's slanted on one side of the tip. It's easy to outline the lips and fill in the remaining. Third, the consistency is in-between liquidity to cream. I actually like the consistency. It's easy to apply and does not tug on the lips. With that said, it went on smoothly and it dried quickly. I would say it dried within several seconds. That's pretty decent for a liquid lipstick. Liquid lipsticks adhere to your natural lips and falls in-between the fine/thick lines. It all depends on the brand and formula of the liquid lipsticks. Some show fine lines only and others show both fine and thick lines. I actually like the fine lines on my lips. The thick lines is not that pleasing to my eyes. Thankfully, this only shows the fine lines and dries nicely. Fourth, the color was not what I expected. I thought it was a pinkish-nude but it's a concealer color or at least on my lips. It's an interesting color. On the website, they have two different models show casing the color on their lips. The colors are way off to each other and none of those colors look the same on me. With that said, the next time I wear this color I will mix it with other liquid lipsticks or lip liners. Anything to brighten the color on me. Pigmented-wise I was pretty impressed. For a concealer color, it showed up easily on my lips. Lastly, it lasted until I ate. The grease from the food soften the texture on the center of the lips. That's where most of the color came off. It's also very comfortable and not drying at all. I did not see any white reside in the center of the lips. With that said, I wasn't the biggest fan of the color but that was my choice. Even though the color didn't match me well, everything else was good with this brand. I definitely don't regret getting this at all and I would love to try other colors in this line.
* Vitamin E.
* Slight peppermint scent.
* Simple, clean packaging.
* Well-made and sturdy packaging.
* Sturdy top with a tight squeeze when you open.
* Travel-friendly.
* Easy to outline applicator and fill in the remaining.

* Easy to apply.
* Does not tug on the lips.

Would repurchase: Yes, in other color.

Tania & José by Charles Presentations Videography from Elliot Charles on Vimeo.
This wedding took place at the Escambron Beach Club in Puerto Rico. Cute things happen at weddings just like the flower girl afraid of walking down the aisle. Luckily the Photographer Ramon Feliciano, had a pack of Clorets gum in his pocket and was able to convince the flower girl to walk down the aisle for a pack of gum..not bad!
Rosalina Torres of Momentus Events was the wedding planner who made sure everything come together beautifully.
Rafael Lecumberri did an awesome job with the decoration! Absolutely enjoyed it all.
Tania and Jose was a great couple that had a great time!
Congrats guys!

The Best Dark Spot Corrector to Improve Your Skin Tone
Are you looking for the best dark spot corrector cream to reduce hyper-pigmentation in the unevenly toned areas of your skin. This article will introduce you to the best dark spot correcting creams available over the counter for home use, so that you can achieve the even skin tone that you desire.
Here is a quick comparison of the best dark spot correcting creams that we have reviewed on this site.

Topical Creams for Dark Spots on the Skin
As you age, it is common to have skin discoloration spots popping up on many parts of the body. Some people experience these dark spots on their arms and legs, torso, or even their face. The spots are the result of an increase in melanin, the substance in our body that determines the pigmentation levels of our skin. Isolated increases in melanin cause uneven skin tones and spots and won't naturally change back without a treatment to reduce the pigmentation.
Some of the best dark spot treatment options are over the counter topical creams. The reason these creams are the best dark spot correctors is because they are effective, convenient, and do not require the supervision of a doctor or dermatologist. They are affordable and readily available online. Other treatment options including laser surgery tend to be expensive and come with an increase in adverse side effects.
Our Top Recommended Cream for Dark Spots
One of the best dark spot corrector creams is Amaira Natural Lightening Serum, which is safe to use on your face and other areas of the body. Most people experience fast and effective results from this cream, and those results are often visible within two weeks.
Amaira is the best product for dark spots on your face because it can help with a number of skin discoloration problems: old scars, acne marks, age spots, melasma, uneven skin tone, freckles, and other types of hyperpigmentation.
The current formula of this face cream for dark spots incorporates cutting-edge technology and a revolutionary method to overcome dark skin spots. The formula has been redesigned for optimal results, and safe ingredients are used to protect your health.
Amaira Natural Skin Care is a US based company that specializes in a variety of natural topical application products for the following uses: lightening dark areas the skin, reducing scars, reducing dark eye circles, and restoring vaginal strength and tightness. Their Natural Lightening Serum is designed for lightening dark areas and spots of skin and is sensitive enough to be used for intimate lightening.
Amaira Natural Lightening Serum contains 4 different skin lightening ingredients: Kojic Acid, Licorice Extract, Mulberry Extract, and Bearberry Extract.
The product comes in an "airless" bottle and is manufactured in the United States in an FDA registered facility in Newport Beach, California.
Currently, single bottles are $41.99 (normally $66.95) and three bottles cost $71.99 (normally $196.85). These are great prices for a superior product.
What about ordering two bottles? Right now, instead of offering a two bottle discount, Amaira is offering a subscription option. If you subscribe for $41.99 per month, you will receive a single bottle of Amaira Natural Lightening Serum and a FREE BOTTLE (every month) of their new product – Amaira Eye Illuminating Serum that diminishes dark eye circles and crow feet. This is a great deal and a great way to keep you looking your best.
It is recommended to take advantage of the multi-bottle discount, especially since you essentially get a free bottle if you order the 3 bottle deal. If this product works for you, which is more than likely, you will be purchasing more than one bottle. Might as well save a bit of money.
The price and product is backed by a 60 day refund policy. This duration is plenty of time to test the product for effectiveness on your skin type.
Amaira is now featuring FREE DOMESTIC SHIPPING on all orders in the United States that are placed through their website.
Why is Amaira the Best Dark Spot Corrector?
By using safe, active ingredients, Amaira Natual Ligthening Serum can help to naturally fade the dark spots on your skin. The main advantage to Amaira is that it uses a proprietary blend of ingredients in order to achieve maximum results. Other skin care creams might use similar ingredients, although they aren't as effective because the manufacturers don't take the extra precautions that are needed to ensure the quality of each ingredient that is added to the cream.
Amaira uses the right amount of ingredients, in order to provide your skin with the maximum dosage and maintain safety at the same time. For best results, this cream for dark spots should be used in conjunction with an exfoliation tool to buff away the dead skin cells on the surface of your skin. First cleanse and exfoliate the skin, and then apply the dark spot cream.
Amaira also ships worldwide to most countries. However, they do have additional guidelines for international orders, including those to Canada. Please refer to their shipping policy for more details.
Best Dark Spot Corrector: Treatment vs. Prevention
There are two elements that you need to consider when you are using the best cream for dark spots. The first step is to reduce the appearance of dark spots that have already occurred, and then you need to actively work to prevent those spots from coming back or new spots from popping up.
It is easy to identify the current skin patches that need to be treated, and you should also be looking for skin spots that might have a lighter shade of discoloration. There is no need to wait until the spot is a dark hue, because even those lighter spots can be treated in their earlier stages in order to prevent a darker hue from setting in.
It isn't easy to reverse the damage that is caused by the sun and aging, but the most effective way to get rid of the dark patches of skin is to use the best treatment for dark spots on a consistent basis. By applying the treatment consistently, you can focus on both treatment and prevention at the same time.

How can you even think about reprimanding or punishing any disobedient creature after seeing this video? Look how sorry they are! It's heartbreaking — no pet shows contrition quite like a dog, an animal for which being made aware of a transgression is its own punishment. On the other hand, cats are remorseless dictators.

A healthier version of a pumpkin cheesecake flavored muffin with whole wheat, lower sugar, Greek yogurt, and other healthier ingredient swaps.
It was finally time to make a pumpkin recipe that doesn't have chocolate in it. As hard as it was for me, I think I'm a new convert to the pure pumpkin + spice flavors.
I don't think there are too many pumpkin recipes on my site that aren't paired with chocolate. When I think of pumpkin I instantly think of chocolate because the two together is my absolute favorite. And a good pumpkin bread or muffin that is LOADED with dark chocolate is just insane Fall delicious-ness. Although the husband likes pumpkin recipes WITHOUT chocolate (crazy I know!), so I must know, which do you prefer?
The great thing about this recipe is it is super easy to add chocolate in to (or nuts!), BUT these muffins still taste crazy good without the chocolate. The spices really have a chance to shine through and the flavor is pure pumpkin goodness.These muffins are pretty dang light & fluffy for a whole wheat, healthier muffin! The best way I know how to describe it is they melt in your mouth. As much as a muffin can "melt." Each bite (while these are still warm) is super soft and almost cake-like. Which, by the way, you'll definitely want to eat these when they are fresh out of the oven. They are insane (in the best way possible of course).
The secret to getting these muffins their special texture is cornstarch! I add a whole tablespoon into this batch and it is the secret ingredient that takes a typically tougher whole wheat muffin to the texture of a bakery-style muffin. A healthier bakery-style muffin 🙂
Another way to keep these muffins ultra soft is to avoid over-mixing the batter. Mix the flour until just combined and then stop! Over-mixing will lead to denser and more tough muffins.
The other "secret" ingredient or the secret to the insane texture of these muffins is actually Greek yogurt!! But not just ANY Greek yogurt; I used Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Pumpkin Cheesecake. Because the yogurt is whipped and a different texture than typical Greek yogurt it gives these muffins that super airy texture I was talking about.
Not only for texture purposes, the yogurt is huge for the overall flavor as well. It is what gives these muffins a slight cheesecake flavor and really intensifies the pumpkin + spice flavors. It's the absolute perfect addition to these muffins and a huge contributing factor to the awesome texture!
Oh, and another MUST for these muffins? Pumpkin Butter!! Okay, not a must, but oh my gosh pumpkin butter is good on these!!
- 1/2 cup canned pumpkin (not the entire can and not pumpkin pie filling)
- 1/2 cup (1 container) Yoplait Greek 100 Whips! Pumpkin Cheesecake
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup coconut or canola oil
- 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 3/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- 1/4 cup + 3 tablespoons light brown sugar lightly packed
- 1 and 1/4 cups white whole-wheat flour or white flour
- Optional topping: 1 tablespoon brown sugar + 1/2 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly grease a muffin tin and then lightly flour and set aside.
In a large bowl, stir together the canned pumpkin, (dab with a paper towel if your pumpkin is excessively "wet." Use high quality canned pumpkin for best results and to avoid overly moist muffins) pumpkin cheesecake yogurt, large egg, vanilla extract, and coconut or canola oil. If using coconut oil, measure when it is completely melted.
Stir in the maple syrup until all ingredients are well combined.
Add in the cornstarch, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, pumpkin pie spice, and brown sugar. (Increase spices if desired). Stir until well combined.
Add in the flour and stir until JUST combined. Over-mixing yields denser muffins.
Fill up 10 spaces in the muffin tin and fill up the remaining two spaces halfway with water (to ensure even baking)
In a small bowl, combine brown sugar and pumpkin pie spice. Stir together. Sprinkle the mixture evenly on top of all of the muffins.
Bake for 16-18 minutes or until a toothpick when inserted into the center comes out clean.
Remove and allow to slightly cool before removing from the muffin tin.
Store in an airtight container in the fridge. Enjoy or freeze within 2-3 days.

George Lucas selling LucasFilm and alternately the Star Wars enterprise to Walt Disney is nothing short of a hot button topic. There is even news about a seventh Star Wars film being produced for 2015. But what will that mean for the science fiction movies that so many people love and thoroughly enjoy? There are already plenty of photos floating around the Internet of Darth Vader sporting Mickey Mouse ears or Yoda recruiting the friendly mouse as his next Luke Skywalker protegee.
Whatever the sale does bring, these fashionable leggings in the pattern of Artoo and Threepio or a sci-fi montage will have you looking good for the Stars Wars and Disney films.

The City of Cincinnati shows their "gratitude" for those who answered their countries call during the Vietnam era.
At first, I thought the bottle of wine was litter and was going to move it, but realized someone had left this full bottle as a tribute to show their gratitude. There was also a military service ribbon.
I need to work on the long distance rider's skill of reading comprehension. Just saw the key word "gratitude," and didn't read the fine print that ask that we try our hand at a portrait.

The woman with the lovely smile is my wife, Israel. I'm grateful for her smile--it radiates warmth and light, and I can never get enough of it.
I shot about 50 of these today. This was shot #2 and most of the rest were fraught with all manner of technical difficulties. I find that when I shoot a series of pictures, often the first one is the best. Lesson in that, I suppose. . . .
This was shot with an 85mm f/1.8, considered by many to be an ideal portrait lens. On my camera the equivalent focal length is 135mm which is a bit long, but still in the range. I shot this at f/1.8, so the DoF is extremely shallow; almost everything besides her mouth, nose, and eyes is, to some degree, out of focus. I knew the background would be blurry beyond recognition, but I didn't know it would be so dark. It works well for this, I think.
Unlike yesterday, which was bright and sunny (as noted in this ride report), today was gloomy and overcast. This is perfect weather for shooting portraits, as the light is so diffuse and even. Click for the EXIF: ISO 100, 1/1600th sec. @ 1.8.

This is a wonderful portrait, Tom. I have similar results with ÔÇ£first shotsÔÇØ; they tend to be the most inspired.
Not to disregard the technical ability of the photographer, but I find it easy to take great portraits of great people.

April 14 to June 5, 2016
Koffler Gallery
Artscape Youngplace, 180 Shaw Street
Guest Curator: Sarah Robayo Sheridan
SPRING OPENING RECEPTION: Thursday, April 14, 2016 | 6 – 9 PM
ARTIST & CURATOR TALK: Sunday, April 17, 2016 | 2 PM
Read the digital gallery publication featuring a conversation between artist Raymond Boisjoly and curator Sarah Robayo Sheridan:
The practice of Vancouver artist Raymond Boisjoly has consistently gravitated to photographic means of emphasizing the act of transmission. Through an ongoing strategy that foregrounds the misuse of common imaging technologies, he generates abstractions of source images that subvert photography's frequently performed role of commemorating the finite. Boisjoly's accentuation of the unsteady nature of technology resonates against issues of Indigeneity and cultural transformation, asserting new possibilities for inhabiting the present.
In this new body of work presented at the Koffler Gallery and in another iteration as a billboard project, Boisjoly offers a mediation of Maya Deren's Divine Horsemen: The Living Gods of Haiti, a posthumously released film concerning dance and spirit possession in Haitian Vodoun ritual. Playing the film on an iPhone and capturing the stream through a flatbed scanner, he generates a series of interference patterns and crossed signals. These images are printed on vinyl and pinned to the gallery walls, their obscured content demonstrating the futility of this process in understanding the film. Alluding to the artifacts of digital migration, this gesture creates an aesthetic experience rooted in the fleeting nature of images. A ubiquitous marker of media downtime, within Boisjoly's frame of reference the signal scramble suggests willful resistance—the specific suppression of a source.
Part ethnographic interest, part artistic pursuit, Deren's attachment to Vodoun cultural practice stood outside the imperatives of both avant-garde filmmaking and anthropological doctrine. In order to represent the rituals of Vodoun practitioners, Deren became one herself. In this transformation, Boisjoly sees a capacity to question how one understands oneself in relation to others and to account for changing circumstances—a possible model for cross-cultural investigation. As an artist of Haida and Quebecois descent, Boisjoly states that his engagement with Indigenous issues goes beyond his own identification as an Indigenous person, being motivated by an urgency to participate in this discussion without claiming a privileged position due to his heritage. He advances a way of seeking understanding through detour rather than immediate access, a process that figures as part of Deren's complex negotiation of cross-cultural transmission.
Overlaying the images and crossing the white wall expanse, large vinyl-letter phrases articulate a response to the challenges represented within Deren's project. The scale and colour of these sprawling texts suggest declarations, yet their vernacular is more open-ended. Image and word cohabit a visual terrain but their interaction pressures them against one another. While Boisjoly's images bear evidence of transit, their migration produces new form and meaning as they are loosened from their source. Reacting to the complications of Deren's film, his words also emerge out of a process of abstraction into a life not tethered to this moment of reception. The texts float and commingle with the images in noted contrast to the practice of photo-captioning, wrestling against the way language has typically been used to encode photography. Through Boisjoly's highly nuanced approach, an echo is produced over time and distance, allowing entry into the detailed workings of transmission as an artistic and cultural imperative.
A Primary Exhibition of the
2016 Scotiabank CONTACT Photography Festival
Raymond Boisjoly is an Indigenous artist of Haida descent based in Vancouver, Canada. His practice concerns the deployment of images, objects and materials in and as Indigenous art. A reflexive approach is used to foreground the discourses which frame and delimit the work produced by Indigenous artists. Boisjoly has been included in exhibitions and projects at SITE Santa Fe, Triangle France (Marseille), Musée d'art contemporain de Montréal, Vancouver Art Gallery, The Power Plant (Toronto) and Presentation House Gallery (North Vancouver). Boisjoly is an Assistant Professor of Interdisciplinary Studio in the Department of Visual Art + Material Practice at Emily Carr University of Art and Design and is represented by Catriona Jeffries Gallery.

If a fireball hits Earth, and nobody notices, is it still a news event?
The answer is yes, because scientists are increasingly tracking the space rocks and debris that enter Earth's atmosphere. The largest meteor since the 2013 impact in Chelyabinsk, Russia, hit Earth on Feb. 6, and NASA's meticulous Fireballs and Bolides Report has ensured the news went public eventually.
How did such a large object collide with Earth without attracting notice? The truth is that it happens much more frequently than many people might think. NASA tracks an average of 30 meteorite impacts annually, but since 70 percent of the planet's surface is largely uninhabited water, most go unnoticed, Brid-Aine Parnell reported for Forbes.
The Feb. 6 fireball fell into the ocean off the coast of Brazil and released energy roughly equivalent to 13,000 tons of TNT. This is significantly less than the Chelyabinsk impact, which injured more than 1,000 people with the equivalent of 500,000 tons of TNT, but it was at least 26 times as powerful as any of the three impacts NASA reported in February 2015.
Tracking the path of what NASA calls "near-Earth objects" is an uncertain science, but it has made progress in recent years. NASA set up the Planetary Defense Coordination Office in January and in doing so increased the budget for tracking asteroids and near-Earth objects to $50 million, up from $4 million in 2010, the first year Congress and the White House identified the project as a priority. NASA detects about 1,500 near-Earth objects each year, according to its website.
Despite this effort to track and warn the public, should a space rock's path hit land, scientists can still miss impacts. They failed to predict a fireball that exploded over Thailand in September because it was too small to attract attention, Lisa Suhay reported for The Christian Science Monitor.
"For sporadic fireball meteor events like this one, there is no warning sign," Mike Hankey, American Meteor Society operations manager, told The Christian Science Monitor. "They happen too quickly. In the case of this meteor, since it happened during the day, it was traveling away from the sun, which would make it impossible to detect with telescopes."
Often what falls is not a meteor but rather a piece from an old satellite or space shuttle that has orbited the Earth for months and even years before falling, The Christian Science Monitor wrote:
Bits of space junk fall from the sky intermittently as an estimated 500,000 pieces of debris continues to clutter the area of "near space" around the Earth. Although space is vast and mostly empty, the "near space" immediately surrounding Earth is increasingly crowded. NASA tracks roughly 20,000 pieces of old or broken debris larger than a softball from satellites and missions past. . . .The US Air Force and NASA can only track the larger pieces, however, and tiny pebbles can also damage the International Space Station and orbiting vehicles.
Whether it is space debris or a space rock, the increasing level of monitoring ensures that even unnoticed objects receive some attention.

Indian authorities say a falling object that killed a bus driver and injured three others was a meteorite.
If proven, it would be the first such death in recorded history.
Experts said other explanations were possible for the incident Saturday in the southern state of Tamil Nadu.
The impact of the object left a large crater in the ground and shattered window panes in a nearby building, killing the driver who was walking past.
Images in local media showed a blueish rock, which Tamil Nadu's Chief Minister Jayalalithaa Jayaram described as a "meteorite" -- although scientists say this has not yet been proved.
"A meteorite fell at a private engineering college... and claimed the life of a college bus driver," said the chief minister in a statement late Sunday expressing "shock" at the news.
S. P. Rajaguru, assistant professor at the Indian Astrophysics Institute in Bangalore, said the rock could be a meteorite but further tests were needed.
If proven it would be the first meteorite death of a human in recorded history, he said.
"Most of the meteors never reach the earth surface as they completely vaporise in the atmosphere," he told AFP by phone.

An asteroid as long as a basketball court will give Earth a close shave next month — though scientists aren't sure just how close.
The near-Earth asteroid 2013 TX68, which is thought to be about 100 feet (30 meters) in diameter, will zoom past our planet on March 5.
The space rock could come as close as 11,000 miles (17,700 kilometers) — less than 5 percent of the distance from Earth to the moon — or stay up to 9 million miles (14.5 million km) away during the flyby, NASA officials said.
"The variation in possible closest-approach distances is due to the wide range of possible trajectories for this object, since it was tracked for only a short time after discovery," NASA officials wrote in a statement Wednesday (Feb. 3).
There is no danger that 2013 TX68, which was first spotted in October 2013, will collide with Earth on this pass, researchers said. However, there is an extremely slight chance — less than 1 in 250 million — of an impact on Sept. 28, 2017, and even lower odds during flybys in 2046 and 2097.
"The possibilities of collision on any of the three future flyby dates are far too small to be of any real concern," Paul Chodas, manager of the Center for NEO Studies at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, said in the same statement. "I fully expect any future observations to reduce the probability even more."
Just two years ago, 2013 TX68 flew by Earth, at a distance of 1.3 million miles (2 million km).
Scientists think the near-Earth object that exploded over the Russian city of Chelyabinsk in February, damaging buildings and injuring more than 1,000 people, measured about 65 feet (20 m) across.If 2013 TX68 or another asteroid of its size were to slam into Earth, it would probably explode in an airburst about twice as energetic as the Chelyabinsk event, NASA officials said.
The above illustration shows the damage caused by an asteroid collision on Jupiter a few years ago.
Although the chances are about one in a million,such a collision with Earth, providing it doesn't do any damage can turn out to be a very fortunate incident if it lands on your property, there are other people that are very interested in the material itself and apart from the scientists some people have collections of a such specimens and even small pieces , and they are quite prepared to pay considerable sums of money for these rare specimens.
And the warnings are, take care they're usually quite hot and should be checked by experts for radioactive decay, once it is cooled and checked the other thing is don't forget to protect it from theft they can be quite valuable.
The definition of these bodies is that they are small, rocky solar system bodies that populate interplanetary space out by the orbit of Jupiter; they are also referred to as minor planets or planetoids. They are rich in precious metals and other metals that some people, especially scientists, are quite prepared to pay considerable sums of money for, these very rare specimens. This page will provide information on what you need to know about asteroids.
In the earth as early history they rained down by the millions and contributed to the formation of the earth as we know it today, they are also thought to have been responsible for the extinction of the dinosaurs.
Today's collisions are usually quite small and most of them burn up in our protective atmosphere, occasionally they do make contact with the earth and a notable example was one that was thought to have exploded over a forest in Russia causing a blast wave that knocked down trees over many miles.
At 7:14 a.m. on June 30, 1908 Trees were knocked down over hundreds of square km by the Tunguska gigantic impact. scientists still do not know what caused this explosion
Some of these bodies are very large and if they collided with the earth would do a colossal amount of damage, the authorities' can now monitor the orbits of the larger specimens and are making plans to destroy or divert them from their collision path with our planet.
The likelihood of such a collision is very small and not really worth getting worried about.
There is only one recorded event where one actually struck a human being, after crashing through the building and losing most of its momentum it struck a woman a glancing blow on the thigh causing just a minor injury.
If it lands to your property you should be careful as they're usually quite hot and should be checked by experts for radioactive decay.
There are billions of asteroids in the solar system and they are grouped together into the four main groups, known as the Main belt, Kuiper belt, Trojans, and the Scattered disc.
Fortunately with modern communication systems these dangerous situations can be monitored easily and warnings issued by local government, civil defense, police, local radio and television.Home Page - other - asteroid

Hoping to decrease nervousness among its investors, video rental and streaming company Netflix announced its reached a milestone of 1 million subscribers in the U.K. and Ireland today.
Netflix launched in the U.K. at the beginning of 2012 with hopes of challenging Amazon-owned competitor LoveFilm for the spot of top video subscription service. The company said it reached the milestone number of subscribers in just over seven months, faster than any other international market in which it operates.
Investors are definitely paying attention to international subscription rates because of the company's current business strategy, which includes launching its service into foreign markets using profits from its domestic streaming and DVD rental revenues. Netflix also operates in Canada and Latin America, and it recently announced that it'll launch in the Scandinavian market.
As we've pointed out in the past, Netflix's best strategy for growth is to concentrate on dominating the global market for streaming video services before others establish an unassailable presence. While Wall Street analysts don't necessarily disagree with the strategy, it does present some risk. This is because a failure in one (or several) of Netflix's foreign markets has the potential to negatively impact its successful markets (the U.S. and Canada). Such failures might mean Netflix has less money to spend on expensive licensing agreements or producing original, exclusive programming.
But that hasn't stopped the company from staying aggressive, which is apparently paying off in the short-term. Netflix CEO Reed Hastings recently revealed that he intends to outbid BSkyB for streaming movie licensing rights in the U.K.. That could cost quite a bit of money, as PaidContent points out.

Unfortunately few movie theaters have strict, no bullsh*t policies ala Austin's Alamo Drafthouse theater when it comes to texting during movies. So often you're left to your own devices when a jerkoff sitting in our vicinity is obsessively texting during a film.
In that regard, it appears as though writer Richard Rushfield has discovered the ultimate weapon in fighting back non-violently against this technological scourge: the iPad.
Rushfield writes on his Tumblr:
I was watching a movie and when the gentleman next to me started texting. He was not particularly young and looked like he belonged much more in a nightclub than a movie theater. I object to the enormous role the word "douche" now plays in our language, and yet, in this instance, I can find no fitting substitute so I will let the D word stand as an apt description.
Anyhow, the hour was late. The movie was so bad (more about that to come) that most of my will to fight had been bludgeoned out of me. Talking to this cretin to even tell him to knock it off would have taken more than I had to give.
But then I realized I had in my hands a bigger weapon than his pathetic little iPhone. When the iPad was first unveiled, they were mocked as just giant iPhones, but perhaps they were built to be such with this very moment in mind. Not saying a word, I turned my iPad on, opened the browser to a white screen and positioned it on my lap pointed directly at my neighbor's face and away from mine. Thus, I was able to continue to enjoy (or not) the movie – with the screen pointed away from me – ignoring him while he glared at me in outrage and waved his hands around in protest. Finally as he seemed about to make a stink, it dawned on him that he was not in a position to complain about people having their screens open during the movie. I saw him visibly deflate and put his phone back in his pocket. Without a word, I then turned my iPad off and put it away.
I think we may have just found a new internet folk hero, you guys!

Summer's family is having a year of terrible luck. Summer recently recovered from a freak bout of malaria, her brother is a friendless oddball, and her parents just flew to Japan to care for some elderly relatives. That leaves Summer alone with her grandparents for wheat harvesting season. She's usually just along for the ride, but this year, with her grandmother's back pain worsening and her grandfather slowing down, she finds herself facing a lot more responsibility. To make things worse, she's coming down with her first bout of infatuation. And she has only her copy of A Separate Peace and her grandfather's stories to guide her through this troublesome time.
When Louis Sachar's novel, The Cardturner, came out in 2010, I remember a lot of people saying, "Oh, it's not really a book about bridge!" So I picked it up and gave it a try, and discovered that it is, in fact, a book about bridge. Sachar himself lampshaded that fact by signaling the onset of technical bridge explanations with a whale symbol (a reference to Moby Dick and its notorious technical whaling chapters). He invited the reader to skip those sections if she so chooses. Oh, and I did. But the game of bridge was not effectively quarantined by the whales - it seeped inexorably, unbearably out into the rest of the novel. Or at least the 100 pages I managed to read.
Likewise, I can imagine a defender of The Thing About Luck saying, "But it's not really about combines!" Honey, it is. Not much happens in this book, but what little action there is concerns itself almost exclusively with the wheat harvesting process. There is a lot of information about combines and other large farm equipment here, and, plot-wise, not a whole lot else. It makes Junonia, by Kevin Henkes, look positively action-packed.
That's a shame, because there's some really excellent writing here. The four main characters - Summer, her brother, and the two grandparents - are all expertly drawn. They are infuriating and sympathetic by turns -
real people with real fears. The setting is so vividly described that it almost becomes a character in its own right. When I read Kadohata's descriptions of the stark beauty of the wheat fields, I was reminded of Willa Cather and her passionate portraits of the American West. Like My Antonia, this too is a book concerned about the dignity of hard
work, the beauty of desolate places, and the struggle of Americans, new
and old, to learn who they are and where they belong.
Unfortunately, this is a collection of wonderful characters and settings in search of a plot. I know that "appeal" is a bad word at the Newbery table, but the criteria do require the book to effectively address its intended audience. I honestly can't imagine the intrepid elementary school kid who would make it past the combines to the quiet beauty hidden in The Thing About Luck.

Managing Hair Supplies, Not Fishing Tackle
If your daughter or wife have tons of brushes, hairclips, rubber bands, jewelry, you know how crazy it can be keeping it all together in one location and not all over the house. Here's an easy tip that will help them keep things organized and might win you some browny points for being so thoughtful.
The next time you're out shopping, stop by the local sporting goods or department store and pick up a tackle box with pop up trays.
Now they can use all the cubbies for putting smaller items like barrettes and bands, and a brush or two in the bottom. Because it's portable, they can take it to friends houses or on trips and have everything they need.

HOUSTON - The embattled father in the center of a complicated child support case which has captured national attention was taken into custody Tuesday in order to begin serving a six-month jail sentence.
Clifford Hall showed up to the Harris County civil courthouse prepared to serve his jail time.
Hall fell behind and owed more than $3,000 in child support, but his attorneys claim the money was garnished not from his paycheck, but his employer.
The company did not submit the money to the court for his son and ex-wife to collect.
Hall eventually paid what was due plus an extra $1,000, but by that time a change in the law made it impossible for him to avoid jail time. Hall is also facing accusations that he did not follow a court-ordered visitation schedule and kept the mother away from his son longer than allowed.
The case was appealed to the 14th Court of Appeals. Hall was unsuccessful and was ordered to begin serving a jail sentence.
"It's a horrible feeling and it makes me sick to my stomach but I have to do it," Hall said. "I don't know how it got like this, but I just want to move forward with my life."
Hall and his attorney hope his story can become a cautionary tale.
"We just want all the parents out there to know that when you have a child support obligation to make sure that the monies are going to the places where it should go," attorney Erika Watson said.
Hall's attorney hopes the judge will consider suspending the jail sentence and free the dad immediately so he can continue spending time with his son and working to make child support payments.

In 1968, as the decades youth movements began to succumb to paranoia and dread all over the world, young Brazilian pop musicians created a movement Tropicalia that, although it flowered only briefly, was a miracle of creative energy and artistic expression. With Brazil in the shadow of what would be two decades under military dictatorship, Caetano Veloso, Gilberto Gil, Tom Ze, Gal Costa, Jorge Ben, and the ground-breaking band Os Mutantes created a stunning body of work that drew from a fresh re-imagining of Brazilian tradition within the contexts and currents of western high art and low-brow consumer culture.
The main reference points of Tropicalia were the Brazilian music of the past the urbane and artistic sighs of Bossa Nova and the raw, rough dance music of the Brazilian northeast were both crucial building blocks and the psychedelic, consciousness-expanding experiments of the Beatles, Rolling Stones, and Jimi Hendrix. Contemporary art and film influenced the movement as well; indeed, it was an installation by artist Helio Oiticica that inspired Veloso to borrow the name Tropicalia. The installation featured the recreated interior of a rough favela ghetto shack, bathed from within by the light of a flickering television. That image remains a perfect reference point for understanding the music. (Another reference point might be Velosos repeated chant on the nearly contemporaneous Ambiente De Festival not included in this collection: E proibido priobir; We prohibit prohibitions.)
With this collection, compiled and annotated by S. Baker, Soul Jazz has released one of the most important anthologies to come along in quite a while. The profusely illustrated booklet and liner notes do a fine job of detailing the dizzying cultural, historical and political underpinnings of Tropicalia. And the selection of music is stellar, focusing, for a welcome change, more on the artistic expression of the Tropicalia artists and less on the (undeniably present) ironic, kitschy aspects of the style.
Theres plenty of pleasure here. For example, the rockabilly-style tape echo laid upon the nylon-stringed guitar for the northeastern Forro-influenced rhythm workout on Os Mutantes A Minha Menina; the Gal Costa tunes that start with her supple Bossa Nova phrasing and might build into middle eastern glossalia (Tuareg) or an orgasmic voice and percussion jam (Sebastiana). The key artists of Tropicalia collaborated frequently, yet each kept their own character: Costas dynamism; Gils soulful, rootsy integrity; Caetanos alluring and odd blend of sincere Donovan-esque balladry delivered with a hint of Mick Jagger sneer; Tom Zes trickster wordplay and stripped-down hermetic quirkiness.
Then there were Os Mutantes, who within the space of a single track might borrow tape processing moves from Stockhausens Gesang der Junglinge or Varesess Poeme Electronique, slip into a Motown groove overlaid with Mamas and Papas California sunshine vocals, then morph into a drum-led Candomble circle with fuzz guitar and electric organ freak-outs riding over the trance-inducing polyrhythms.
By 1970, Tropicalia had faded, as the military dictatorship clamped down hard, and Veloso and Gil suffered both prison and exile. But the radical and joyful impetus of the music to imbibe and celebrate Brazil while eating the fruits of other cultures remained a crucial tenet of Brazilian pop, helping to nourish the long and varying musical careers of many of the feasts original founders.

I DIE DAILY: The Making of Matthew Barney's "Cremaster Cycle"
In 1995, while working for George Lucas, I was introduced to the work of Matthew Barney. Captivated by the psychological and emotional impact of Barney's work, I set out to demystify the inner workings of Barney's creative process. Over the next decade, I worked closely with Barney and his team to document the making of Barney's epic Cremaster Cycle, shooting over 300 hours of behind the scenes footage and interviews. The resulting feature length documentary, I Die Daily, captures Matthew Barney's enigmatic process, creativity and resolve.

The UConn men's hockey team has added a significant building block for coach Mike Cavanaugh's program with the oral commitment of elite forward Tage Thompson, who informed the Huskies' staff Friday that he will play college hockey in Storrs.
Thompson, originally from Oyster Bay, N.Y., fits the mold of the type of player Cavanaugh said he wanted to try to recruit when hired in spring 2013. A Northeast-based player courted by other top national programs, Thompson chose UConn after also being recruited by schools such as Boston College, Providence, New Hampshire, Northeastern and Brown.
Thompson's father, Brent Thompson, is the coach of the Bridgeport Sound Tigers, the Islanders' AHL affiliate. Brent Thompson will enter his second season as coach of the Sound Tigers in 2014-15; he also served as the team's coach in 2011-12 and was an assistant with the Islanders in 2012-13 and 2013-14.
Tage Thompson, 16, a forward with size, is a member of the U.S. Under-18 National Team Development Program. He is the first member of that program to be successfully recruited by UConn and is considered a surefire NHL prospect.
In July, Thompson, listed at 6-foot-1, told juniorhockey.com, "I need to put on some weight and get stronger, but that's something that the program will definitely help me with. They have a great reputation of developing players and turning them into men and great athletes."
Thompson reportedly would have played at Salisbury School had he not been selected to the U.S. Development Program, which is a year-round endeavor.
"Tage has incredible vision, size, and tenacity on the ice, and when you pair all that with his composure and nose for the net he's an absolute force to try and contain," Will Bodine, coach of the PAL U-16 Islanders team for which Thompson played last season, told juniorhockey.com.
Thompson had 31 points (17 goals, 14 assists) for the P.A.L. Islanders last season.
Brent Thompson spent 14 years as a professional player, including 121 games in the NHL with the Winnipeg Jets, Phoenix Coyotes and Los Angeles Kings.
It has yet to be decided whether Thompson will enroll at UConn for 2015-16 or 2016-17. The Huskies open the 2014-15 season Oct. 10 at Penn State.
UConn will not play home games on campus until a new facility is constructed. This coming season, 11 home games will be played at the XL Center, beginning Nov. 5 against B.C., and five at Webster Bank Arena in Bridgeport — home of the Sound Tigers — beginning Oct. 21 vs. Quinnipiac.
The Huskies, officially Hockey East members as of July 1, were 18-14-4 last season, 15-9-3 in Atlantic Hockey, losing a conference quarterfinal series to Robert Morris. Cavanaugh enters his second year as coach after 18 years as an assistant at B.C.
Senior forward Ryan Tyson has been named captain, with senior forward Trevor Gerling and junior forward Patrick Kirtland serving as alternates.
The Huskies open the season with nonconference games at Penn State Oct. 10-11.
