Previous Challenge Entry (Level 4 – Masters)
Topic: Flat (01/03/13)
- TITLE: Flinging Gold
By Virgil Youngblood
Andy hooked the gold spoon to an eyelet of his Ugly Stik and leaned the fishing rod against a mangrove branch. Business before pleasure, he reminded himself.
On his twelfth birthday, ten years ago, he had come to this remote spot on the Texas coast. His dad and grandfather built a drift-wood fire with the wood he scavenged. Until Paw-Paw's misadventure, they had spent the night wading ankle-to-knee-deep water seeking flounder buried in the sand.
Paw-Paw had come down from Oklahoma and was behind the learning curve on gigging.
"Slide your feet across the bottom Pop," Dad said. "You don't want to step on a sting ray. They have a poisonous barb."
Things were going pretty good and we had several nice fish on the stringer. That is, until Paw-Paw stepped on something and all "H" broke loose. Feeling the powerful squirm of a fish underfoot he lurched backwards yelling, flinging his gig and underwater light. Stumbling over a grassy clump he slipped beneath the brine.
When he thrashed back to the surface Dad froze him in his spotlight's beam. "Look at you, Pop!" he said, laughing. "Your waders are full of water. Let's get to the fire and dry you out."
Paw-Paw's false teeth were clattering something fierce. He was spewing saltwater and new vocabulary words.
The following day Dad asked, "Pop, where's your wedding ring?"
Paw-Paw stared wide-eyed at the white strip encircling his ring finger. He didn't answer.
"You must have lost it when you joined the submarine fleet" Dad said laughing. "We will never find it but let's go back and look."
Our search for Mimi's token of fidelity was as hopeless as a Laughing Gull's diet.
Today, a half-day's drive from here, Paw-Paw is in Corpus Christi Christus Spohn Hospital.
A low tide covers the salt water flat in six-to-ten inches of water. Out a ways past a shallow channel, the top of an oyster reef sparkles in the morning sun. The search area is a point on the shoreline south to a barnacle encrusted post standing the test of time. Maybe ten yards from the vegetation line to the channel's edge.
Surely after fifty-two years of marriage, Paw-Paw will be thrilled to get his ring back. Powering up my roommate's metal detector I adjust the headphones to block wind noise and make chirps distinctive, and begin swinging the wand back and forth.
The following day I tap softly on the door before entering his room. The antiseptic smell and the gadgets attached to him make me cringe. Some machine is making a whooshing sound.
His eyes peer warily and then flare in recognition. "Hey, squirt! Wha'cha doing here?" he wheezes.
"I've come to see my favorite flounder man," I reply.
"Yeah, yeah. Rub it in. Can't you leave an old man alone?" He started coughing and reached for a napkin. "I'm still spitting up salt water."
"Look, Paw-Paw!" I was unable to contain my excitement. His gold ring glistened on my palm.
His eyes squinted and hardness passed over his face like a breaking wave, erasing his smile.
"What's that?"
"Your wedding ring. I found it with a metal detector."
"I didn't lose it. I threw it away."
"You what? I can't…" He was scowling angrily. "I don't under…"
"Andy, Mimi and I were having a really hard time. I've got red-headiness in me. Your dad invited me to go fishing to give me a break. I …"
"Grandmother had Alzheimer's, didn't she?"
Paw-Paw coughed, nodding, waiting to catch his breath. "I didn't know it then. She was accusing me of hanky-panky with a high school cheerleader that never gave me the time of day. Her false accusation stung. I never cheated on Mimi in my life." He dabbed tears trickling down his sunken cheeks. "I wanted to hurt her, I guess. Mimi died three years ago, you know.
"You understand, don't you?" he said struggling up on an elbow and looking at me with piercing intensity. "Your grandmother was the best thing that ever happened to me. It would remind me of acting like an ass every time I saw it or felt it."
I quickly put the ring in my pocket. "So, what do I do with it Paw-Paw? Sell it?"
"Then, what?"
"Put it back where you found it."
That night, witnessed by a Magnificent Frigate-bird sailing before a lover's moon, I did.

Here are some items that are helping us stay sane and keeping our little babe happy. I wish someone had shared these things with us when we first had Jude. A lot of them are like.. well duh.. but when you are sleep deprived you are not thinking straight. I honestly try to be a minimalist when it comes to baby stuff. So getting the right few things is important. So here are some things that we are loving right now. ( fair warning I am not a all organic mom)
The Owlet sock. By far my favorite baby purchase. The price tag is big but I promise it is worth it. The Owlet is a oxygen and heart monitor. You can't put a price on piece of mind and sleep. It alarms you at the base station and on your phone when baby's heart rate or oxygen is low. This helped me sleep and not worry about checking on him every few seconds when he was new. I also love it when he is taking naps and I don't have to keep checking on him, I can just look at my phone and it will tell me his levels. It makes me more productive and helps him get better sleep. I have not been using it as much at night since he sleeps in our room and snores like a freight train. But I can't wait to use it as we transition to the crib.
Mini humidifier from Toys R Us. It is about the size of my hand. It doesn't take up much room and is perfect size for just Jude. It fits perfect on a shelf right near his bed. It is almost silent, lasts 9 hours, and has a night light!!! Before this he had a stuffy nose every morning.
Giraffe rattle sold by Starting Out (at Dillards) is his favorite cuddle toy. It is a great snuggle size without getting in his face. He naps with it a lot and I don't have to worry about it smothering him. The cactus chew toy by Iitzy Ritzy. (Target) is helping him with teething. The back of it has a raised pattern for gum massage. He also likes to snuggle it. Easy to clean and easy to pack in the bag. My favorite burp rag is sold by Wee and Me. It is a cute design and came with a matching bib. I love it because it is thick and soft. My other favorite burp rags are by Gerber. They are HUGE!! If you have a baby who likes to throw up a lot like Jude.. YOU NEED THOSE! I get them at the grocery store in the baby isle end cap at HyVee.
Night light with stars. This little lamb has multicolored stars that shine on the ceiling and also plays music. (Toys R Us) It keeps him occupied while I take a shower or put on makeup. Honestly we put it in our room sometimes because we think it is cool too.
Ikea lantern. This is awesome at night. We leave it on all the time so we don't have to turn on the light when changing his diaper or feeding him in the middle of the night. It puts off just enough light to see what you are doing without waking him up. And it is a cool decoration during the day.
In the beginning I was going to breastfeed only…. then Jude decided he didn't like that and my boobs decided they didn't want to really help out either.. so formula it was… then I was only going to have 3 bottles and never buy a drying tree….. Then I got tired of washing bottles every few hours.. so 8 bottles later and 2 drying racks I am so thankful!!! (all munchkin brand)
Sleeper clothes with NO FEET! Fun fact, Jude hates feet in this clothes. He was really fussy at night and did not sleep well the first few weeks and we would strip him naked and he would be happy. He would kick and kick until we let him be naked. So we tried one of these and he has been sleeping through the night since 2.5 months old. This one is from Carters and it has a zipper. I recommend the zippers because at 2a.m., those pesky 8 button legs get really blurry and hard to snap.
Target Sensitive wipes are the holy grail of wipes. They are easy to use because one comes out at a time instead of 10. And the hard plastic cap keeps them fresh.Also a good price. Boudreaux's butt paste is my fav. I tried the organic one and it didn't work on him but the original does. Honestly since using the target wipes he rarely gets diaper rash. The nose sucker from the hospital is hands down the best. The ones at the store don't have enough suction. TAKE THAT THING WITH YOU WHEN YOU ARE RELEASED!!! Nose saline helps get those boogers out without drying out the nose. But the best trick yet is the foundation sponge! We use it as a butt paste applicator because that crap does not come off your hands. You can buy them cheap in the makeup isle anywhere. Easy to clean and easy to use.
Halo sleeper sack only needs four words….HE SLEEPS ALL NIGHT!
You need 4-5 diaper changing pad covers! That is not a joke. Between boogers, poop, throw up, and a little boy who pees. I go through 2 a day sometimes. Target has so many cute ones they are like Pokemon, you gotta catch them all.
Jude sleeps in the Rock N Play in our room. He loves it!!!! It is considered a safe bassinet. It is inclined so it really helps with his acid reflux. I got the one that has a sound machine and self rocks on a timer! Worth the extra $! Its is also just good for him to chill in during the day. The white noise sound is what he sleeps too every night. It is just loud enough that it covers background noise and lets us put him to bed early in our room, but still have the TV on in the living room without waking him.
You need 1 million bibs.. or like 20. I like the bandana ones but all bibs are good. Between spit up and drool they save me a lot of laundry time. you have to have so many because you stash them everywhere and go through like 4 a day during teething. The amount of drool is unreal!Once again, I would love to be a breastfeeding mom but it just didn't work out. Formula is insanely expensive and it takes a long time to find the right one. We went through 4 different types before finding this one. We use Similac sensitive. It really helps with his acid reflux and has a lot of great nutrition. Similac also sends a lot of coupons and free cans every few months.
Jude and I are both allergic to scents in lotions, detergents, and perfumes. We use Dove sensitive lotion and body wash. He never has dry skin or baby acne with this. Also we use All free and clear detergent for clothes. Dreft which is commonly used does have scents in it. We wash our clothes with All also. If your baby's skin is frequently irritated I recommend this. Remember he puts his face on your clothes just as much as his.
This is a organization cart from Target. It has been great for a diaper changing station and storage. It also has wheels so during postpartum recovery it can go wherever you want to sit all day. The top fits 2 packages of diapers and wipes. Second shelf we keep burp rags and chew toys/binki. Third shelf is bath supplies.
These are our daily essentials. They work for us and Jude is a very happy baby. I'm not claiming to know the best products but I thought if these things are working great for us, they might save some time and money for someone else. Feel free to ask questions.

Digital signature features are only available in Reader for documents that have been rights enabled by a LiveCycle server or an author who has selected Extend Features in Adobe Reader. Acrobat users can use all signature capabilities. For more detail about dozens of other options, see the Digital Signatures Guide.
Due the complexity and critical nature of these settings, installations should leverage existing configurations via the Registry feature.
To set a signature validation method, do the following:
Set the Default Verification Method to one of the following:
- Use the document-specified method. Prompt if it is not available.
- Use the document-specified method. Use the default method if it is not available.
- Always use the default method (overrides the document-specified method).
In some enterprise situations, administrators may require a method other than Adobe Default Security. For example, non-Adobe plugins may be used in business environments that require support of biometrics, signature escrow, alternative methods of private key access, and so on. In those cases, administrators may specify an alternate plugin or provide user training on how to choose the right one.
This setting is stored in:

[HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\<product name>\<version>\FeatureLockdown\cSecurity\cDigSig\]
To configure the signing method, do the following:
Set the Default Signature Method to one of the following:
- Adobe Default Security
- Ask when I sign
- Third party
This setting sets:
[HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\<version>\Security\cHandlers]

3. Check Show location and contact information when signing if you would like the Location and Contact Info fields to appear in the signing dialog during signing. The data is then added to the signature block after signing. The value is stored in:
[HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\<version>\Security\cPubSec]
- Never
- When Certifying only
- Always
The value is stored in:
[HKCU\Software\Adobe\(product name)\<version>\Security\cPubSec]
Enable Reviewing of Document Warnings and Prevent signing until document warnings are reviewed settings function in tandem and should be set together. Setting both these options to Always results in the highest degree of assurance that the signing process is not adversely impacted by malicious content. The value is stored in:

Acrobat products ship with pre-configured directory servers stored in a directories.acrodata file. The servers are used by the Trusted Identity Manager to locate certificates used in digital signature and certificate security workflows. Users can trust these certificates for signing and certifying documents as well as for encrypting documents prior to sending them to the certificate owner. In enterprise settings, certificates are often stored on a directory server to provide users with a searchable and already trusted set of trusted identities.
If your company uses a centrally managed certificate repository, such as an LDAP directory server, you can add pre-configured server information to the installer. To do so:
[ALL_USERS_PROFILE]\Application Data\Adobe\<product name>\<version>\Replicate\Security.
If you select a file name other than directories.acrodata, the file will be renamed.
To unset the directory server, choose Unset. The text box displays the message that this feature is not set.
You can also set these files with the Files and Folders feature.
Acrobat products do not ship with trusted identity data. Enterprise IT will typically want to install a pre-configured addressbook.acrodata file that captures Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) information for contacts and certificates. The certificates can be delivered as already installed trusted identities with specific levels of trust set for any or all certificates used in digital signature and certificate security workflows.
addressbook.acrodata or navigate to another file.
Choose Open. The text box displays a message that this feature has been set.
- If you select a file name other than addressbook.acrodata, the file will be renamed.
- You can also set these files with the Files and Folders feature.
The value is stored at:
[ALL_USERS_PROFILE]\Application Data\Adobe\<product name>\<version>\Replicate\Security.

Product code: OSD-IW690
Our flagship 6.5-inch OSD Audio IW690 Series Kevlar® speaker pair can handle the most demanding audio signals for your home theater system and listening rooms. This superior-quality pair of speakers from Outdoor Speaker Depot has high-grade Kevlar® woofers and 1-inch aluminum dome tweeters.
Go ahead and dial up your listening levels with these in-wall speaker. The reinforced ABS polymer frame has a paintable grille.
Because these OSD in-wall speakers use an infinite baffle design, you won't need back boxes. With infinite baffle, the wall cavity becomes the enclosure. For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.
These speakers come with a 10-year warranty and our lifetime technical support service. The dimensions of each speaker are 12 1/4 inches by 8 3/16 inches with a 3 1/8-inch depth. The wall cutout should measure 10 7/8 inches by 6 3/4 inches. Browse our free in-wall speaker guides and how-to videos.
· High-grade Kevlar® Woofer
· Gold-plated compression posts
· Reinforced ABS Polymer frame
· Paintable frame and grille
Do These Speakers Require a Back Box? Back boxes are not required because in-wall speakers use an infinite baffle design. This allows the speakers to work in various size spaces, like inside a wall. OSD Audio Speakers can adapt to a broad range of enclosure sizes and can be installed with or without an enclosure (with infinite baffle, the wall cavity becomes the enclosure). There is a tradeoff, however. Without a back box, sound may bleed to another room. This may or may not be issue but if you decide to build an enclosure, it needs to be at least 5 to 6 inches to accommodate the depth of the speaker. Also, it's not a bad idea to ad fiberfill inside the cavity, which can be purchased at any hardware store.
For a retrofit installation, no construction bracket is needed.
The IW690 is capable of handling the most demanding digital audio signals in home theater systems and listening rooms of intermediate size. The IW690 is flagship in the 6.5 Series; featuring a 1 aluminum dome tweeter and Kevlar woofer for remarkable clarity and bass response.
Kevlar is best component for woofer, it responds note for note without coloration and has big cranking power so you can dial up your system for higher listening levels.

NewScientist, July 9, 2008
GOODBYE air pollution and smoky chimneys, hello brighter days. That's been the trend in Europe for the past three decades -- but unfortunately cleaning up the skies has allowed more of the sun's rays to pierce the atmosphere, contributing to at least half the warming that has occurred.
Since 1980, average air temperatures in Europe have risen 1 °C: much more than expected from greenhouse-gas warming alone. Christian Ruckstuhl of the Institute for Atmospheric and Climate Science in Switzerland and colleagues took aerosol concentrations from six locations in northern Europe, measured between 1986 and 2005, and compared them with solar-radiation measurements over the same period. Aerosol concentrations dropped by up to 60 per cent over the 29-year period, while solar radiation rose by around 1 watt per square metre (Geophysical Research Letters, DOI: 10.1029/2008GL034228). "The decrease in aerosols probably accounts for at least half of the warming over Europe in the last 30 years," says Rolf Philipona, a co-author of the study at MeteoSwiss, Switzerland's national weather service.
The latest climate models are built on the assumption that aerosols have their biggest influence by seeding natural clouds, which reflect sunlight. However, the team found that radiation dropped only slightly on cloudy days, suggesting that the main impact of aerosols is to block sunlight directly.

Back in 2012, out of boredom at work, I started a Tumblr blog called Beautiful Women Wearing Mini Skirts. Over next four years or so, it grew to more than 70k followers, including significant numbers on Facebook and Twitter. I was quite regular with posting, usually about 5-6 times a day, and I created a nice collection of mostly celebrities wearing short skirts, dresses and shorts.
Unfortunately, in March of 2016, Tumblr shut down my blog due to breach of terms. They were not up for discussing or explaining, they simply shut down my entire account that also hosted 5 other blogs, due to a fact that I installed some affiliate marketing scripts that automatically opened a pop-down. Or at least that's my understanding of the issue, again, I never got even a semi-detailed explanation of why it happened.
So here we are, trying to resurrect the blog.
So the idea is the same: we are here to post and celebrate beautiful women worldwide who feel amazing about their bodies and are not afraid to show them by wearing mini skirts, little dresses or shorts. Most of the ladies will be celebrities or at least to become ones.
To be clear, this is by no means NSFW blog. There will be no nudity of any kind, not even implied. Just pictures of ladies in public, just like those that you can find on any celebrity or news site all over the internet.
If you own any of the pictures posted and want it down, please feel free to contact us by using the contact form, and we'll gladly remove them promptly. But if you find yourself on our page it's only because we find you gorgeous. Perhaps, instead of taking it down, we can simply promote you in a proper way.
So that's it! Hope you enjoy and come back often!

Official documents indicate that politicians, cutting across party lines, have benefited from the BDA's decision to allot sites though they already own properties. This violates Rule 10(3) of the BDA (Allotment of Sites) Rules, 1984. The rule says that the BDA cannot, under any cate gory , grant sites to those who, or whose family members, are already owners of a site.
BDA commissioner Rajkumar Khatri said: "I cannot comment based on general allegations that so many of them have been given sites. I need to see the specifics." Data about these politicians owning one or multiple properties was obtained from affidavits submitted by politicians to the Election Commission. Copies of these affidavits are available with TOI. The Karnataka High Court, while decreeing that agencies such as BDA are to function in accordance with the same provisions mandated for state and central governments, had stated that the government was the biggest service organization. All its actions must be fair and non-arbitrary in nature and aimed towards ensuring people's welfare, it had observed.
In sync with this observation, the BDA planned layouts for the people's welfare. However, a majority of sites in such layouts are of dimensions smaller than 40x60ft. For instance, in the recently announced Kempegowda Layout, 1,500 of the proposed 5,000 sites measure 20x30ft, while 2,000 are 30x40ft sites. How ever, no site allotted to the 115 politicians in question are smaller than 40x60ft.Most, in fact, are 50x80ft sites. Granting these properties at subsidized prices to people in positions of power defeats the purpose of such layouts. Legal experts said different yardsticks for the common man and the powerful are against the law and violates Article 14 of the Constitution.
Additional chief secretary and BDA chairman Mahendra Jain has directed the BDA secretary to investigate the allotment of site to an MLA, against whom a complaint has been registered. "We'll have to see how these sites have been allotted, whether these people wrongly declared about not having a site before availing one from the BDA. We'll initiate appropriate action."

The presentation will be recorded and will be available on www.ProstateMDx.org the following week.
Following the keynote lecture, three studies on SelectMDx will be presented as posters:
Results from a new clinical utility study showed that compared to the European Randomized Study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) risk calculator (RC) the use of SelectMDx led to a reduction of biopsies in men at risk for prostate cancer and improved the detection of significant prostate cancer in men with prior negative biopsies.
Data demonstrating that SelectMDx predicted magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcomes previously presented at the American Urological Association (AUA) Annual Meeting will be re-presented.
A previously published study for SelectMDx that demonstrated consistent test performance between laboratories, will be presented as a poster for the first time. This data will be of interest to laboratories and hospitals looking to perform the SelectMDx test in their own facilities using an in vitro diagnostic (IVD) PCR kit that launched earlier this month.
About SelectMDx for Prostate Cancer
Of the more than 2 million prostate biopsies performed each year in the US and Europe, less than a third find cancer. Most of these men could have avoided a painful and invasive prostate biopsy procedure, with its associated complications and costs. SelectMDx for Prostate Cancer is a proprietary urine-based, molecular diagnostic test that offers a non-invasive 'liquid biopsy' method to assess a man's risk for prostate cancer. SelectMDx helps identify men at increased risk of harboring aggressive, potentially lethal, prostate cancer who may benefit most from a prostate biopsy and earlier detection. The test delivers a negative predictive value (NPV) of 98% for clinically significant disease, helping to reduce diagnostic procedures, such as MRI and invasive prostate biopsies, by approximately 50%, thereby reducing healthcare costs.
MDxHealth is a multinational healthcare company that provides actionable molecular diagnostic information to personalize the diagnosis and treatment of cancer. The company's tests are based on proprietary genetic, epigenetic (methylation) and other molecular technologies and assist physicians with the diagnosis of urologic cancers, prognosis of recurrence risk, and prediction of response to a specific therapy. The Company's European headquarters are in Herstal, Belgium, with laboratory operations in Nijmegen, The Netherlands, and US headquarters and laboratory operations based in Irvine, California.

Leslie taking off into the wilderness
Looking back down the trail
Self-photo #1
Boulder from the mountain
Boulder from a little bit higher up the mountain
I can't believe these steps naturally formed like this!
Taking pictures of Leslie taking pictures
I had to hang the camera from the tree and set the timer to get this to work, Leslie is laughing at the idea. I showed her!
pondering life in Boulder
Another timer photo but this time off a rock
University of Colorado - Boulder
Some road we could have taken instead of hiking. Pff.
This looks like a Leslie-taken photo to me
Slyly snapped this without even looking
I think there were rock climbers up there or something
I slipped and almost died somewhere around here (not really, but kinda)
Mini-golf! A vacation tradition
perfect putting form
Leslie putting away
When in Denver, you HAVE to go to the first Chiptole
Mmm, chicken burrito
Leslie just wanted chips. Lame.
her properly named bag
So good
Some crazy rain cloud formation on the way back home. Looked much cooler in person

Talented Duo Joins Redhanded Communications
Redhanded communications has announced its most recent additions, Torey Woff and Matt Peek, arrive with unique expertise having spent much of their career servicing large-scale clients at leading advertising agencies.
Woff joins Redhanded as a senior account manager, with nearly seven years' experience working across an array of industry categories, particularly food and government. She believes now is the perfect time to be helping urbanites see the true value of agricultural industries.
"There is a closing gap between farmers and the metro consumer, which is exciting. The recent acknowledgement by the AFL to create a farmer's round is a good example of this. So it's important that we understand and explore emerging opportunities with our clients." Woff will play a key role in developing and strengthening client relationships and supporting junior staff development.
Peek, who has been appointed head of client services, said: "Making the switch to Redhanded was primarily driven by the agency's reputation and vision. There are so many creative agencies now, what drew me to Redhanded is they are an agency with a clear and unique proposition, they have stood by that vision and reaped the rewards committing to a greater Australia. It's that strength in leadership which was the biggest draw card."
Peek is a multi-disciplined advertising account director with 10 years' experience and a proven track record in strategy, coordinating national integrated campaigns and achieving outstanding business outcomes for clients such as Infiniti Cars, Pedders Suspension and Swann Insurance. He is passionate about branded content and also has an impressive film making background as a two-time Tropfest top 16 finalist.
Redhanded MD Jim Gall said the appointments of both Torey and Matt were a critical part of Redhanded investing in its client relationships to improve focus and client satisfaction.

Google Gobbles Up Restaurant Startup
Appetas, a two-man firm focused on building better mobile websites for restaurants, has become a bite-sized morsel for Google.
The Seattle-based startup disclosed its acquisition by Google on its website Tuesday. Terms weren't disclosed.
Though undoubtedly a small deal for the Internet giant, Appetas fits Google's ambitions for improving the quality of websites and making it easier to search for local businesses. Both can help generate more revenue from search advertising.

Inaugural Swearing-in Ceremony and the Inaugural Address
The President of the United States was sworn in and officially took office on January 20, 2017. After a morning worship service, the oath of office was administered on the steps of the United States Capitol in Washington, DC. The Vice President took the oath of office at the same ceremony as the President. Following the swearing-in ceremony, the President gave his inaugural address, setting out his vision for America and goals for the nation. Performers included the Radio City Rockettes, Mormon Tabernacle Choir, and singer Jackie Evancho of "America's Got Talent.
Presidential Inauguration Parade
The Presidential Inaugural Parade followed the Swearing-in Ceremony. It was coordinated by the Armed Forces Inaugural Committee (AFIC) which includes members from all branches of the armed forces of the United States. Since 1789, the U.S. armed forces have participated in this important American tradition honoring our commander in chief. During the 10-day inaugural period from January 15 to January 24, 2017, armed forces personnel provided ceremonial support with musical units, marching bands, color guards, salute batteries and honor cordons. Read more about the Inaugural Parade.

Sometimes journeys can take the romantic traveller on fairytale adventures only found in lost stories: expeditions to faraway castles, overland treks to pyramids; or hair raising car rides around chaotic cities. Sometimes, journeys just take us to the corner store.
While trying to find a thoughtful message to fit in with this post, I was struck by the truthfulness found within Robert Thomas Allen's quote.
"Most of my treasured memories of travel are recollections of sitting."
At first I had to research who this wise person was, then I realised that no matter how thought provoking and insightful I wanted my quote to be, the simple truth would be more effective.
Trains, sitting, stories
Train journeys; you either love them or loathe them, depending on your outlook. Romantic notions of yesteryear lodged in the back of nostalgic minds, while electric rails zoom these minds in carriages to destinations. Whenever I think of train journey's I imagine train life being in line with the Oriental Express: rich, luxurious and indulgent.
Journeying overland through Malaysia by train put my wild imaginings back into perspective. True there is a luxury train journey aptly named the Eastern Oriental Express, which runs through western Malaysia, but my train trip was on the eastern side; the jungle side. Here the trains are not opulent and the journey is less romantic.
Being an adventurer and small time nostalgic buff, the Jungle Line journey was extremely appealing. Notions of virgin jungle mixed with exotic reptiles, rubber plantations, and whatever jungles contain, were running through my mind while planning this trip.
Ten hours from a northern town called Gua Musang in Malaysia direct to Singapore. Time to soak in the scenery, reflect on my travel; and sit.
Train journey's offer tasty treats you seldom find on planes these days. Delicious treats found in the people you meet, talk with, and share a portion of yourself to. Interesting morsels are in the time spent inventing stories about those around you; who have no other reason to be on the train, but to get from A to B.

With WHO about to announce Swine Flu at the pandemic stage, I thought it was a good idea to repost this topic.
The idea of train travel abroad can be daunting and if you add the words China, crowded stations, and limited english facilities, it's enough to bring on an anxiety attack even to the hardcore traveller.
Xi'an's Muslim Quarters is where tourists walk around eyes wide in delight; or mouths closed in discomfort. It is active, busy and raw.

This is the first of a series of occasional conversations about something most pet owners don't realize they should care about! What allergists do for people, dermatologists do for pets — plus ears. Includes details about fighting mange (now easier!), flea allergies, and other conditions owners should understand.
Dr. Samantha Lockwood is a California native who has lived all over the state—from sunny San Diego to cold, wet winters near Tahoe. Growing up on a farm in rural northern California, Dr. Lockwood always had a love of being around furry friends. She was raised to work hard and care for all types of animals including the chickens, horses, sheep, dogs, cats, pigs and reptiles. Dr. Lockwood knew veterinary medicine would be the best career to share her passion and love for animals.
She now works in Santa Cruz two-days-a-week at the Dermatology for Animals clinic in Soquel.
Dr. Lockwood attended the University of California Santa Cruz and graduated in 2006 with her Bachelor of Science degree in Biology. After graduation, she spent two years working in San Diego as a veterinary technician. During this time, she learned new aspects of caring for animals and decided to attend veterinarian school, graduating from Western University of Health Sciences in 2012 with her Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine. She completed an intense and gratifying rotating small animal internship at VCA Veterinary Care Animal Hospital and Referral Center in Albuquerque, New Mexico. While in New Mexico, her love for dermatology grew strong as she worked closely with Dermatology for Animals.
Dr. Lockwood started her residency with Dermatology for Animals in 2014. During that time period, she has focused on advancing her knowledge in dermatology through working closely with her mentors (Drs. Schick and Lewis) and numerous clinical studies including her research on cyclosporine use in felines.
Dr. Lockwood completed her residency in July of 2017 and will be taking her board certification exam later this year. Dermatology for Animals is privileged to have Dr. Lockwood as part of our team. She is compassionate, well-rounded and excited about caring for the skin of her patients.
Dr. Lockwood loves the outdoors including camping, hiking, and snowboarding. She and her fiancé Bill share their home with five furry babies: Gus the Great Dane, and their four cats Bug, Gary, Roary, and Theodore.
I promised an impressive Demodexx "Red Mange" photo. So meet Ellen. Who is now fine and adopted out. Thanks to the new treatments Dr. Lochwood and I discussed, she was much improved in a month. Her coat is still improving but she is not recognizable as the same animal shown here.

The Story Behind the Establishment of Martin Sales and Service
Welcome to Martin Sales and Service Inc., a locally owned and operated business serving the community for over 25 years. Martin Sales and Service Inc. was born when it's owner, Dave Martin, began repairing sewing machines and vacuums, as well as selling Hearthstone wood stoves out of his basement in 1978. Dave soon found that his clientele was growing so large that he needed more room than what his basement could provide. In 1980 he moved his flourishing business to a small 550 square foot building on North Main Street Extension in Butler. The move allowed for more space and greater presence in the community.
Martin Sale's reputation for offering quality merchandise and service with highly competitive prices lead to exponential growth in just a few years. Dave soon realized that he had once again outgrown his space. In 1988, Dave built a 2,400 square foot building to meet his business needs, and this is where Martin Sales and Service Inc. is located today.
Martin Sale's new home allowed Dave to include a separate showroom for his sewing machines and vacuums from his stoves and fireplaces, as well as a much larger repair area. About this time, the stoves and fireplaces began to really take off. As the demand for stoves and fireplaces grew, Dave once again was in need of more showroom space and warehousing space. To rectify, Dave expanded the store to 6,500 square foot, which includes an award-winning fireplace showroom and a large warehouse. This expansion also allowed for a separate showroom for grills and patio furniture. In addition we have become a warranty station for all brands of sewing machines, vacuums, and stoves that we carry.
Today, Martins Sales and Service Inc. prides itself on a great reputation, knowledgeable sales staff, and trained and certified service technicians and installers. Martin Sales and Service sells a vast array of the finest quality merchandise the industry has to offer at wholesale prices. Even with the past expansions Martin Sales and Service continues to be a family owned and operated business. Please stop by and visit us at 1635 North Main Street Extension in Butler, Pa or call 724-283-6281. We thank you for giving us the opportunity to serve you. We appreciate your business and the confidence you have placed in us and we look forward to serving you again in the near future.
Mission statement:
Our mission statement is to sell top quality and the most technologically advanced products at wholesale prices. Besides selling the highest quality brands that the industry has to offer, serving our customers is our top priority. We know that our best type of advertising has been word of mouth, and that without our wonderful customer base we would have never dreamed of growing into the exceptional business that we are today. We look forward to serving our customers to the best of our ability and to uphold and continually grow our excellent reputation.
Martin Sales and Service has always been particular about selling UL rated fireplace products, and installing those products in accordance to safety codes. Click here to see why it is important to reline and insulate your chimney.

Developmental Stages in Human Embryos
Go to Stage: Intro 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
Stage 20Page 252
Page 253
Most embryos of stage 20 measure 21–23 mm in length.
The age is believed to be approximately 50–51 postovulatory days.
Details of internal structures may now be obscured from surface view because of the thickening mesoderm, except in fresh or formalin-fixed specimens. Thus the cerebellum isno longer distinct as seen from the surface (fig. 20-1).
The upper limbs have increased in length and become slightly bent at the elbows (fig. 20-1). The hands with their short, stubby fingers are still far apart, but they are curving slightly over the cardiac region and approach the lateral margins of the nose.
A delicate, fringe-like vascular plexus now appears in the superficial tissues of the head (fig. 20-2). In the temporofrontal region a growth center arches over the eye, and in the occipital region a second growth center occurs above the ear. The edge of the plexus is approximately halfway between the eye-ear level and the vertex of the head.
1. Cornea. The developing cornea comprises the anterior epithelium, an acellular postepithelial layer (the future substantia propria), and the posterior epithelium.
2. Optic nerve. Few nerve fibers are present. A lumen may still extend along practically the whole length of the stalk, but it is becoming obliterated (O'Rahilly, 1966, fig. 49).
3. Cochlear duct. The tip of the duct, having grown "upward," now proceeds "horizontally" (fig. 19-6).
4. Adenohypophysis. The stalk is long and slender. Capillaries are appearing in the mesoderm at the rostral surface of the adenohypophysis.
5. Vomeronasal organ. The vomeronasal organ appears as a shallow, blind sac with a broad opening (fig. 19-9).
6. Submandibular gland. The duct is longer and knobby and is situated well within the gland (fig. 19-10).
7. Metanephros. The renal vesicles are developing S-shaped lumina (fig. 19-11).
8.Humerus. The appearances are transitional between those of stages 19 and 21 (Streeter, 1949, fig. 3).
Blood vascular system. The arteries and veins have been illustrated by Blechschmidt (1963, plate 37).
Digestive system. A reconstruction of the pharynx and adjacent endocrine glands was published by Welter (1933, plate 1), ones of the alimentary canal by Shikinami (1926, plate 3) and by Blechschmidt (1963, plate 44).
Larynx. Three photomicrographs were published by Tucker and O'Rahilly (1972, figs. 14-16).
Urinary system. A reconstruction of the urinary system has been published by Shikinami (1926, fig. 5). Page 254 The external surface of the metanephros is said to be slightly lobulated.
Testis. From stage 20 onward the testis is said to be elliptical and have a smooth surface (Lee, 1971). It contains short, straight tubules surrounded by a darkly stained mesenchymal sheath and the rete testis. The tunica albuginea appears to be continuous with the coelomic epithelium.
Ovary. From stage 20 onward the ovary is said to be cylindrical and have a coarse surface (Lee, 1971). The presence of an ovary is first determined per exclusionem and not earlier than stage 20. Cord-like structures are absent from the cortex, and the surface epithelium shows no sign of development into a tunica albuginea. The ovary consists of "a mass of undifferentiated oogonia" (Wilson, 1926a) intermingled with fusiform mesenchymal cells and intermediate pregranulosa cells (Lee, 1971), and covered by the surface epithelium.
Skeletal system. Skeletal development and the muscular system have been illustrated by Blechschmidt (1963, plates 36 and 38). The skull has been described and illustrated by Lewis (1920).
Brain. A general view of the organ can be seen in Lewis (1920, plate 3, fig. 8), and certain internal details were provided by Hines (1922, fig. 17). The nervous system as a whole was illustrated by Blechschmidt (1963, plate 35).
The hemispheres now cover two-thirds of the diencephalon. The inferior colliculus of the mesencephalon can be discerned (Bartelmez and Dekaban, 1962). Some optic fibers reach the optic chiasma. The choroid plexus of the lateral ventricles is present. The primordium of the falx cerebri begins to form (O'Rahilly and Müller, 1986b).
Eye. The lens cavity is obliterated and a lens suture begins to form.

Top of the Order:
The List Is In: In business, there is a lot of hyperbole. Every company likes to say it is "The Best" or "The Biggest" at what they do. These are ways that companies have of promoting themselves in order to get the attention of consumers. It's like a beauty contest. If people know your name, and your "best and biggest" reputation, the more likely they are to think of you when it comes to having to buy something.
But, beauty contest or not, numbers don't lie. And the Fortune 500 is one of the biggest beauty contests around. If your company is big enough to make it onto that list of the 500 biggest companies in America, well, that's something that carries some weight and importance that is real.
The annual Fortune 500 list is out. Or, rather, the annual Fortune 500 lists are out, because there are two main lists that stand out. One gauges how well companies are doing at selling their stuff; the other is based on how much companies make on all the things they sell. And the lists wouldn't be what they are without many familiar Bay Area business names.
When it comes to revenue, which Fortune bases on a company's fiscal year, retailing giant Walmart is still out-selling everyone by a very long shot. Walmart's annual sales reached $485.9 billion, or more than twice that of second-place Berkshire Hathaway and its $223.6 billion in revenue.
But, give Apple another year, and Tim Cook & Co. might just take that silver medal away. Apple's third-place showing of $215.6 billion in annual revenue is just a few million iPhone sales away from surpassing Warren Buffett and Berkshire.
For those keeping score at home, some other local companies big enough to make the Fortune 500 are:
- Chevron, No. 19, with $107.6 billion in sales
- Wells Fargo at No. 25 with its $94 billion in revenue
- Alphabet, in 27th place, with revenue of $90.3 billion
- Intel, coming in at No. 47, and sales of $59.4 billion
- Cisco Systems, No. 60, with $49.25 billion in revenue
- Oracle, which took 81st place on its $37 billion in sales
Some other notable names made it onto the list for the first time, including Hewlett Packard Enterprise at No. 59 with its $50.1 billion sales, Tesla, No. 383, with $7 billion in revenue, and Nvidia and its $6.9 billion in sales, at No. 387.
Now, don't feel bad for Apple "only" being in third place. When it comes to profitability, Apple retained the top spot with earnings of $45.7 billion in its 2016 fiscal year. To show how much of a profit machine Apple is, the company held onto its top spot even with earnings falling 14 percent from the prior year due to declines in iPhone and iPad sales. Two more Bay Area companies made the top five, with Wells Fargo at No.4 on earnings of $21.9 billion, and Alphabet right behind in fifth place thanks to profits of $19.5 billion.
The numbers don't lie. When you're big enough to make it onto the Fortune 500, hyperbole can be measured against reality.
Trump vs. … Everyone?: President Donald Trump doesn't like his critics. That much can be seen in how he uses Twitter to respond to those he thinks are out to get him.
Sorry folks, but if I would have relied on the Fake News of CNN, NBC, ABC, CBS, washpost or nytimes, I would have had ZERO chance winning WH
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) June 6, 2017
So, the president has gone about blocking some of his critics on Twitter. Anyone can block anyone on Twitter in order to keep people from seeing, or responding, to their tweets. It's a safety measure, in a way.
But, is it legal for the president to block anyone?
The Knight Institute doesn't think so. The nonpartisan organization, which defends free speech, said it is considering legal action against President Trump in order to force him to unblock those critics. The institute argues that in blocking citizens from tweeting to him, the president may be violating the First Amendment by preventing public discourse about him and his policies.
Bottom of the Lineup:
The Virtual Library: Card catalogs? What are those? The Dewey Decimal System? That's so 20th century.
The next time you go into a library in California, you might be able to enhance your experience via virtual reality. Facebook's Oculus VR business said Wednesday that it will donate 100 of its Rift headsets, as well as computers and touch controllers, to 90 libraries in the state as part of a pilot program to expand VR usage to those who might not be able to afford, or don't want to fork over, the almost $600 it costs for one of Oculus' headsets.
Quote of the Day: "Bozoma Saint John is hitting the road with us as our Chief Brand Officer and we couldn't be more excited." — Uber, in a tweet announcing that Saint John is joining the ride-sharing company. Saint John had been one of the top executives running Apple Music.

The six-day long pitch for greater manufacturing in India is being held in Mumbai and is likely to see participation from 1,500 foreign companies and business delegations from 65 countries. The prime minister in his Independence Day address in 2014 from the ramparts of Red Fort had given out a call to investors to 'Come, Make in India'. "This is the biggest such event we are hosting and it is taking Make in India campaign to the next level. We will showcase both the soft and the hard power of India to the world," said a senior government official.
The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP) formally launched Make in India campaign with various government departments in December 2014. The campaign has the target of lifting manufacturing share in the economy to around 25% by 2020 from the current around 16%. India would showcase its manufacturing prowess at the six-day long event through exhibitions and special presentations by states.
Three states--Chhattisgarh, Odisha and Haryana--and countries including Japan and Poland will host sectorspecific seminars highlighting opportunities to Make in India. Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar and Commerce and Industry Minister Nirmala Sitharaman will also present the way forward for Make in India.
The Make in India week will focus on 10 key sectors for manufacturing, including aerospace and defence, automobile, construction, food processing, infrastructure, pharmaceuticals, information technology and textiles. Some of the key programmes planned around the event include exhibitions of innovative products and manufacturing processes, hackathon and sessions on urban planning. The Make in India programme was launched on September 25, 2014, in the presence of over 120 CEOs of major Indian companies by the prime minister.
The government has had some success in this respect. Some mobile hand set manufacturers have started to assemble in India, marking a start to eventually fullfledged manufacturing. Contracts have been awarded for the manufacture of diesel and electric locomotives for the railways. In defence, the government is giving out orders for local manufacture of armaments that were earlier being imported.

Thesis Topic: Evolution of Solar-type Stars using ALMA
Thesis Supervisor: Liz Humphreys
The route by which low and intermediate mass stars, such as our Sun, evolve to become Red Giants, visually-stunning Planetary Nebulae such as those imaged by the Hubble Space Telescope, and White Dwarfs is complex and not well-understood. Vital to the understanding of this process is a stage in the stellar evolution known as the Asymptotic Giant Branch. Stars evolve onto the Asymptotic Giant Branch several billion years after the current age of the Sun. During this time, they become unstable to pulsations and start to lose mass at a rapid rate (up to twice the mass of the Earth per year). Eventually this mass loss will lead to effective stellar "death" and nuclear fusion reactions in the core will shut off.
This PhD project involves study of stars evolving onto and off the Asymptotic Giant Branch at millimetre and submillimetre wavelengths using state-of-the-art ESO telescopes APEX and ALMA. The key questions that will be investigated include:
(i) how asymmetric and time-dependent is the mass loss process?

other office illustration that I did. The map used is actually our location (with the "b" pin showing our office.) I had to piece it together from dozens of full-screen captures of a Bing map to get it high res enough for a wall. I also added in some "easter egg" type detail of putting in additional fake location names on the map (see after the break for enlargements).
This one didnt make it to the final choice - which is cool. The design that my colleagues Neil Fox and Tony Georgiades came up with is excellent. And another concept I did (not shown here) was adapted in part for one of the walls, so something of my work appears in it (including the Beyond London logo above).

Graduate Masters and Certificates
As an online student you will be armed with a computer and the Internet as you enter a virtual classroom where the meeting schedule is, to a great extent, managed by you – the student. This type of asynchronous model (one that doesn't require you to attend online classes at a specific time) allows you to complete coursework at your own pace. You will still have reading assignments, lectures, group discussions, exams etc., but online learning gives you the liberty to decide when to complete these tasks within a given timeframe.
You will use a dashboard or control panel that is accessed through your computer. Miami uses Canvas, the fastest growing learning management system in the country. It connects you to your professor and your classmates, and is the jumping off point for you to start taking classes electronically. This centralized system provides a user-friendly platform where you can review your syllabus, view course resources, dialogue with fellow students, participate in group discussions and projects, review video messages from your professor, and more. ELM offers the support you need to make the process seamless. Learn more about Canvas.

Well collectors, another year has come and gone in The Hobby we all know and love, and per usual, not without its share of drama, intrigue, shenanigans, and surprises. Before looking ahead to 2012 let's run down a few of the events that garnered the attention of collectors in 2011.
FBI indicts 6 dealers, including those contracted with MLB and NFL for fraud. They were accused of doctoring doctoring jerseys and selling them as game used. At least one trading card company was a victim, to date we don't know which one.
Sandy Koufax's inclusion in 2012 Topps products is a HUGE hit. Secondary market values respond accordingly and have not dropped despite numerous offerings.
Santa Claus attends his first National Sports Collector's Convention.
Check Out My Cards makes impressive gains in market share challenging eBay as the number one spot for collectors to sell cards.
Panini declares 2011 the year of the brick and mortar shop and puts their money where their mouth is with numerous in store promotions including NFL Player of the Day, NHL Player of the Day, Pepsi Rookie of the Week, and their tremendously successful Black Friday promotion.
Micro-manufactures continue to grow in their niche markets including ITG, Benchwarmer, Cryptozoic, Leaf, and Tristar.
All three companies finally have a grasp on social media and engage their customer base on multiple platforms on a daily basis. They even use the platform of Twitter to publicly take potshots at each other to the annoyance of may collectors.
Blowout cards and Upper Deck face off in legal action with Blowout claiming the recent changes to online distribution policies by UD amount to Anti-Trust Act violations.
Upper Deck sues itself. Upper Deck sues Upper deck International.
Topps sues Leaf for copyright violation.
Panini lands for UD talent in VP of Operations and Product Development creating UD South.
Despite, or perhaps because of, the recession, auction houses memory Lane Inc and Heritage have record years.
So what can we accept in 2012? Well it's really anybody's guess but here are somethings we might see, could see, or probably never see. Enjoy and please feel free to add your own in the comments. Happy New Year everyone!
With authenticity of game used items becoming a major issue,the result is that all game used cards developed here forward will be player acquired. Down side it's their underwear.
In an attempt to add innovation to hockey products, game used ice will be inserted into cards. Design flaw results in catastrophy
To once and for all clarify and finally eliminate any confusion caused by the "RC Logo Rule" in baseball, at birth, every child will have a rookie card created and it will officially serve as a prospect card for any future athletes. The cards will be called Baby Bowman and will replace 1st Bowman cards.
We see the inclusion of lesser used items- stadium plexiglass in hockey, endzone uprights, netting and pylons in football, broken backboard glass and netting in basketball. I honestly believe with the ambiguous language on card backs related to player cards could be partially alleviated by utilizing these types of inserts.
Pete Rose replaces Bob Feller as having the most over-saturated autograph market.
Upper Deck continues to attempt to maintain its viability by creating a line of memorabilia geared towards _______________ (please fill in the blank)

The Presidential Office yesterday unveiled a set of proposed security measures for areas around the Presidential Office Building in the wake of last month's truck crash, including having a military Humvee stationed at the building's front gate every night.
"We have decided to take some preventive measures for the time being to tighten security in the area before any concrete, long-term security measures are rolled out," Presidential Office spokesperson Lee Chia-fei (李佳霏) said.
The measures included installing scores of 1 tonne concrete planters in front of the building and deploying a Humvee from the military police's 211th Battalion at the front entrance at night.
"The Taipei City Police Department's Zhongzheng First Precinct has also been instructed to conduct spot checks on Ketagalan Boulevard and step up patrols in the neighborhood at night," Lee said.
The Presidential Office reached a consensus with the Taipei City Government and the National Security Bureau at a meeting on Friday last week to impose permanent traffic controls in the area at night.
The plans reportedly include closing off the three northbound left-turn lanes on Ketagalan Boulevard at 10pm, sealing off seven other lanes at midnight and shutting down the entire boulevard until 6am.
However, the proposal has unified Taipei City councilors across party lines in opposition to the measure, calling it a leap backward in Taiwan's democratic development.
The Presidential Office has been working to beef up security since 41-year-old Chang Te-cheng (張德正) allegedly rammed his truck into the building's front gate on Jan. 25.
Chang faces charges of attempted murder, attempted destruction of public property and obstructing the performance of public duties.

well in a few weeks im heading to the beach for a week (dont worry pictures will follow) any ways im using this time to do some great R&R each evening fishing from the beach. ordering my license on tuseday, buying a new rod come friday, and stocking up on all my gear as it all grew legs... if you know what i mean. this is the first year im actually trying to catch something so i was wondering if i could get tips on line.
i know mono filament is the good old standard, but braided seems like it might be better. from what im thinking the braided is better for strength and it is more sensitive. BUT since my major target is blue fish and striper, i think the mono would be better cause its less noticeable in the water. what should i spool? it would surprise me to hook a 25/30 pounder

Spring 2017 Eyewear Trends Hot off the Runway and Red Carpet
Following Paris Fashion Week and several of the other spring fashion shows that got us off to a great start for 2017, Denver residents are eager to get their hands on the hottest spring 2017 eyewear trends for men and women. There are plenty of new trends already making their way out onto the streets, so you can start shopping for designer frames in Denver now!
Angular Shapes
We seem to have moved on from the overly large, round frames of the last few years. This year it's all about sharp angles, cat eyes and changing the shape of the face. Expect to see lots of squares, triangles and even hexagons as summer approaches – with the sharp points often accented by small gems or flowers, drawing the eye.
Colored Lenses
Colored lenses have been around for a while, but this year the big-name designers are going with soft washes to color their lenses. Look for light pinks, blues and yellows instead of the dark reds and blues of years past. These are definitely springtime colors that aren't quite as harsh-looking as traditional colors. You can find many of these colors in both prescription and non-prescription lenses with the help of your eye care specialist.
Two-Tone Frames
As acetate frames become increasingly popular, more designers are getting creative with color combinations. Several of this year's designs feature two-tone frames with a lighter shade near the center of the face and darker colors on the outside. These two-tone designs make for very versatile accessories that can blend into any wardrobe. Brands like Blackfin are really pushing this look.
From the red carpet of the Golden Globes all the way to the catwalks of Fashion Week, these spring accessory trends are changing the way we choose our eyewear. Keep an eye out for the colorful, sharp new frames that make up this year's top trends! Don't forget to stop by Vision Care Specialists and check out these designs for yourself from big names like Michael Kors, Fendi, Vera Wang and Alain Mikli. These are the brands that make fashion, and they are available to you today.

Cheap Bootie Fashion Mullet
A month or so ago, I found these short, western-inspired booties in a sale on ASOS for £17. They have all-leather uppers with a classic wood stacked cowboy boot heel. Having only ever owned one other pair of cowboy boots when I was much younger and riding horses, I decided that £17 seemed like a good enough price to warrant some experimentation.
So far, I find that these booties look best when worn with an above the knee to midi length full skirt, although I also like them with skinny pants. They also look surprisingly good with a cropped pant, something I would not have thought of initially. These booties really work well at taking some of the sweetness out of a look to give it some edge. Today I paired them with the feminine detailing and prim silhouettes of a beaded cardigan and peplum top with a peter pan collar, worn with a skinny ankle pant. Like a sort of fashion mullet; all business on top, and a foot-stompin' hoedown on the bottom!

Tofu Pudding with Ginger Syrup
Posted by Fish on February 24, 2017
Tofu pudding has a melt in your mouth texture. It can be made from soy milk and set with a coagulant (chinese use gypsum powder and Japanese use nigari, a seaweed extract). This process can be tricky and not always have the expected results. We're cheating here and using House Tofu Mix, which contains a sachet of coagulant.
1 pack House Tofu Mix
1000 ml water
65 gm palm sugar
1 inch ginger sliced
375ml water for syrup
|Tofu mix packets.
|In a pot add 1200ml of water to Tofu mix.
|Dissolve Tofu powder with a whisk until there are no lumps.
|Bring to a boil over high heat stirring constantly. Simmer fo 3-4 minutes. Turn off heat.
|Add coagulant and stir quickly.
|Pour mixture into a container and cover with a towel or foil. Leave to set at room temp for 20 minutes or until firm.
|Simmer water, palm sugar & ginger in a small pot for 15 minutes, until sugar has dissolved & ginger is infused in the syrup.
|To serve, spoon the set tofu pudding into a bowl and pour over about 2-3 tablespoons of syrup.

The first featured double A-side in the "Amour Mécanique" series on DataDoor is Melbourne's Clue to Kalo with two intricately devised and executed pieces of electronic pop that deftly combine skilfully crafted hooks and melodies with insightful and evocative lyrics.
Mark Mitchell has been releasing music under the name Clue to Kalo since 2003 on internationally renowned labels such as Mush Records in the US and The Leaf Label in the UK. His albums have been released locally on Australian labels Popfrenzy and Spunk. With the Clue to Kalo band he's toured the US - performing at New York's CMJ and South by Southwest festivals - as well as Canada and Japan. He was featured as SPIN Magazine's Artist of the Day on the release of his sophomore album and has shared the stage with the likes of Caribou, Four Tet and Architecture in Helsinki.
Mark has worked as a composer and producer at Melbourne's Electric Dreams studio since 2010. He's made commissioned soundtracks for Hobart's Dark Mofo Festival for the last four years, and in 2017 scored the Discordia performance at the Arts Centre in Melbourne.
A quick Q&A with Mark for some background and insight into the songs and processes that birthed them ..
DD: Why do you think there is a lack of radios at all-night bakery outlets?
CTK: Truthfully, I don't know for sure that there are no radios! The title of the second song is cribbed from a story by Kelly Link. When I read that sentence I found it immediately reminded me of going to Cafe de Vili's in Adelaide after being out till 5am drinking, and the kind of supercharged conversations that could happen in that environment between friends, intense and personal. So the song is about two friends unable to get home, eating probably some shitty sausage rolls to kill time, with one taking the opportunity to advise the other about a bad relationship. For not entirely selfless reasons.
DD: Can you offer any context for both of these songs in regards to significance and relevance of your place amongst the lattice of banality that is modern life?
CTK: I find that I write a lot of the same kinds of stories over again, without really meaning to. They tend to have a bit of a cynical tone and be about characters who maybe aren't that nice, but I hope they're not hateful. Having a sense of black humour about your own failings is something I tend to value in people, and so that makes its way into the words. I definitely believe that Randy Newman thing about lyrics being inevitably autobiographical, even when you're writing about invented people in fictional situations. These two songs, like most of the recent ones, are the result of taking fears or hang-ups and running with them, distorting them into what-ifs and worst case scenarios.
DD: Any insight into creative process and or workflow?
CTK: I usually make most the music first, and it's a pretty scattershot process. I come at an idea from lots of different directions to see if anything will stick. I like using different DAWs and hardware boxes to switch things up, and like forcing happy accidents because it gives you something to react to and get excited about. To be honest, every time I start a new song I wonder if I'll ever be able to finish another one again. Eventually though something clicks and I can see how it's going to go.
As I'm trying out musical ideas I usually sing gibberish lyrics as placeholders, and often there's words or expressions that come out without thinking that trigger the story of the song. Once the music is close to being done, I sit down and start writing the lyrics.
There's No Radio is about someone who chooses to sit in an eatery that doesn't play music because it means they can eavesdrop easier. Over time, they've listened in enough to the patrons' conversations to think they're pals with them, even though the regulars don't know this person exists. Is this heartwarming or creepy? Probably a bit of both. I know it's not a revolutionary literary device, but I like when there's that tension or ambiguity.
At some point I realised that the events of both songs should be happening at the same time in the same place - namely, in the all-night bakery at dawn. You have the first song which happens at one table, and then the perspective shifts and we're seeing what's happening at another. The fact that the song titles can run into each other as a single title is meant to tie them better together.

Track Name: There's No Radio
Ageless Ade has everything made, to live for so long and never degrade ...
what a delightful charade.
Doomsday Ken is at it again.
How goes the frontline of us versus them, you bane of the masters of men?
A mixed clientele, suits and poor performers.
I watch them from the corners, I see them as my friends.
You turn off the music, you're hearing the tell.
The sound of the secret is clear as a bell.
It's true, you know; it's who you know.
There's no radio.
Able Jake has got what it takes.
He'd be right at the top but for minor mistakes, but whose soul never aches?
You turn off the music, you're hearing the tell.
The sound of the secret is clear as a bell.
It's true, you know; it's who you know.
There's no radio.
This clientele, keepers and reformers.
I listen from the corners, I know they are my friends.
Track Name: In The All-Night Bakery At Dawn
Just two used match heads, failing a quest to get themselves to bed.
I don't know how I'm going to get us home.
I don't know how we're going to get home.
Come along, Casey. It's been a long day, but it's never not the first time when you feel this way.
Again so sick with your classic cowering love for a walking statue that always towers above.
So what he's political? All those guys are.
You failed a physical, he's finishing a memoir.
But he strikes from a distance, like he's flattering a costar.
There's no love in the tone of his letter.
It reads like the will of a dying man.
It's best read as the will of a dying man, in love with his own fucking echoes.
Come along, Casey. You've come a long way, but the thing you said'll happen has to happen today.
But only I know how hard you have fought.
I know I'm not one to talk.
You're lonely and so your judgment is flawed.
I know I'm not one to talk.
I know I shouldn't talk.
This here's an emergency.
It's not to blame you, but you're the heart of the coterie and the beat is getting fainter.
Move back to the share house with the writer and the painter, get warmth from the irons in the fire.
Don't bend to the will of a dying man.
Beware of the will of a dying man, in love with the sound of his echoes.

BofA ML Survey: Investors stock up cash whilst showing optimism
Global investors have become increasingly optimistic about the outlook for the coming year but maintain a defensive strategy, the latest Bank of America Merrill Lynch (BofA ML) fund manager survey revealed.
According to the survey, conducted among 214 respondents with a combined AUM of €604bn (€492bn), asset have hiked their cash holdings to an average 5%.
Despite this defensiveness, the majority of respondents (60%), is now optimistic on the growth outlook for the coming year.
As the ECB is set to introduce its first programme of quantitative easing, the appetite for European equities has increased to a net 26%overweight, up from November's net 8%.
"The prospect of ECB QE has brought growing consensus on European equities, but the weakening business cycle and falling commodity prices are working against true earnings recovery," said Manish Kabra (pictured), European equity and quantitative strategist.
Following on from the results of the asset quality review, regional fund managers have raised their exposure to European banks. A net 13% are now overweighting the sector, compared to last month's net 3%underweight.
Meanwhile, investors have less conviction towards U.S. and Japanese stocks. With the U.S. market appearing overvalued to a strong majority of respondents, a net 10% now intend to go underweight it in the coming 12 months.
