After about a year we finally caught back up with Dionna. It was around late October when we got together to do a shoot for TherteeSeven.com street wear apparel. We thought it would be a good Idea to catch up with Dionna and ask her a few questions about her and the things she wants out of life.
TherteeSevenBlog: Let the people know how long have you been modeling:
Dionna: I've been modeling on & off for about 2 or 3 years now, but school has been my main priority and focus.
TherteeSevenBlog: I know that's right! So tell me who inspires you?
Dionna: I've been inspired by Tyra Banks, Beyonce' Naomi Campbell and many other women who haven't 'made it' per se.
TherteeSevenBlog: What are some of your goals in life?
Dionna: In life, i'd like to help people break free from mental entrapment through providing counseling. I want to teach and help people solve their own problems when possible.
TherteeSevenBlog: Tell me whats on your bucket list, what are some of the things you have to do?
Dionna: Before I leave this earth I have to see the rest of it. I need to see as many countries as possible and want to see my family happy.
Well there you have it folks in closing I hope everyone takes a moment to check out the below photo set and video. Live, Love, Laugh have a wonderful week everyone!

Back in September, the Canberra Times published an article on the consequences of government employees who criticise their employers on social media.
"If you spend time bagging your organisation online or offline, you should not think that your employment is going to continue unconditionally," he told the audience.
"You shouldn't be surprised by the consequences."
"If you post defamatory material on a pinboard in the office, this behaviour should be treated in the same way as posting that material online.
This article is relevant to all of us who have a job, as it reminds us, whether we are employed part-time at McDonalds or as the CEO of a large corporation, that our posts are going to be read and judged by others, whether we like it or not.

It was predictable. Cho Seung-Hui was a taciturn, moody loner. Four of his professors expressed concerns about the content of his work or classroom conduct. After complaints by two female students, the campus police and a college counsellor tried to have him committed to a mental institution. But a doctor didn't agree with the judge that he presented a danger to others. And guns are easy to buy in America (though banned on Virginia campuses). As a result 33 people are dead.
Journalists' efforts to explain the Virginia Tech massacre perfectly illustrate one of the central points of an idiosyncratically brilliant new book by Nassim Nicholas Taleb, The Black Swan: The Impact of the Highly Improbable (Penguin/Allen Lane). Having been completely caught out by some random event, we human beings are wonderfully good at retrospectively predicting it. In reality, however, Cho was what Taleb calls a "Black Swan".
Why a black swan? Taleb's starting point is what philosophers call the problem of induction. Suppose you have spent all your life in the northern hemisphere and have only ever seen white swans. You might very well conclude (inductively) that all swans are white. But take a trip to Australia, where swans are black, and your theory will collapse. A "Black Swan" is therefore anything that seems to us, on the basis of our limited experience, to be impossible.
Over 20 years of university teaching, I have seen my fair share of taciturn, moody young men. Many have had difficulties with girls. Some have needed counselling. A few have required psychiatric treatment. The risk that one of my depressive students might commit suicide is one I have often contemplated. But the risk that one might run amok and kill 32 people? Never.
Why, Taleb asks, do we tend to confuse improbability with impossibility? Partly, he suggests, it's because evolution did not favour complex probabilistic thinking. Honed by centuries of hunter-gathering, we are disposed to make snap decisions on the basis of minimal evidence and facile theories - presumably because those who glimpsed a lion and started running, on the crude assumption that all wild animals always eat humans, were more likely to survive than those who preferred to test this hypothesis experimentally. There are friendly lions, just as there are black swans, but better safe than sorry.
Our flawed way of thinking also reflects the development of Western philosophy, social science and history. The Platonic school of philosophy encouraged us to prefer simple theory to messy reality; it also inclines us to select only the data that fit our theories. Taleb especially abhors the tendency of economists and others to assume that everything conforms to what is sometimes called the normal distribution or "bell curve", associated with the German mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.
Sure, says Taleb, a chart of the heights of all college students would look like a bell, with most clustered around the average height and only a negligible minority taller than seven feet or shorter than four feet. But it's a fatal mistake to look for bell curves everywhere. The statistical distributions of earthquakes, financial crises, wars and book sales - to name just four examples - obey a quite different set of rules (sometimes known as fractal distribution or "power laws").
In each case, when you plot a chart, there is much less clustering around the average, and there are many more data points at the extremes. Compared with the standard bell curve, these curves have "fat tails" at each end: there are many more really big quakes, economic crashes, wars and bestsellers than the normal distribution would lead you to expect. Put differently, there are many giants (and also many midgets). I suspect a similar pattern would be observed if it were possible to plot all the violent incidents that have taken place at US universities in the past half-century. Clearly, massacres of 32 are less likely than murders of one, but not as much as 60ft tall men are less likely than 6ft tall men.
Yet it is Taleb's assault on traditional historiography that is most relevant here. Since Thucydides, it is true, historians have encouraged us to explain low-probability calamities (like wars) after the fact. Such story-telling helps us to make sense of a random disaster. It also enables us to apportion blame. Generations of historians have toiled in this way to explain the origins of great calamities like, say, the First World War, constructing elegant narrative chains of causes and effects, heaping opprobrium on this or that statesman.
There is something deeply suspect about this procedure, however. It results in what Taleb calls the "retrospective distortion". For these causal chains were quite invisible to contemporaries, to whom the outbreak of war came as a bolt from the blue. The point is that there were umpteen Balkans crises before 1914 that didn't lead to Armageddon. Like Cho Seung-Hui , the Sarajevo assassin Gavrilo Princip was a Black Swan - only vastly bigger.
The same flaw is obvious in the stories currently being told about the Virginia Tech massacre. If we can see the causes of Cho's rampage now, why was it not anticipated at the time? Negligence is not the only possibility. The reality is that for every Cho who runs amok, there are hundreds of thousands of depressive, misanthropic students who don't.
Taleb's central point, then, is that we are too much influenced by instinct, history, Plato and Gauss. We assume the entire world is "Mediocristan", whereas in reality large swathes of it are "Extremistan".
The trouble is that it is much harder to live with this insight than to live without it. As Taleb's critics in the financial world will tell you (and he himself admits), merelyinsuringyourself against fat tail events does not constitute a profitable trading strategy. Knowing that world wars can happen roughly twice a century is like knowing thatastudentcanrun amok roughly once a decade: it doesn't allow you to predict which diplomatic/personality crisis will be the lethal one.
For practical purposes, it turns out, we humans prefer to work with predictions and forecasts, even when theyarenearlyalwayswrong.Weprefertoregardfinancialmarketsascasinos (what Taleb calls "the ludic fallacy" that odds are always calculable), even when they clearly aren't. And we resist payingexcessiveinsurancepremiumstocoverourselves against very remote contingencies. Forcibly committing every disturbed student to a mental hospital might avert another Virginia Techmassacre.Butthehospitalswould be overflowing.
In any case, as President Bush has learned, you don't get rewarded for trying to stop bad things from happening, precisely because if you're successful they don'thappen.Onhis watch, after all, there hasn't been another 9/11 (a classic Black Swan event). And Saddam Hussein will never invade Kuwait again. But is anybody outtheregrateful?Noteven Bush himself can be certain that his strategy of pre-emption deserves the credit for non-events.
Perhaps the most provocative of all Taleb's many provocations is his hypothesis that, as a result of globalisation and the speedofelectroniccommunications,theworldisbecoming more like Extremistan and less like Mediocristan.
Yes, the integration of international markets seems to reduce economic volatility. But by magnifying the effects of herd-like behaviour (anotherofourevolvedtraits),italsoincreases the tendency for winners to take all - the Harry Potter phenom-enon - and for disasters, when they strike, to be comparably huge.
Just as there will be fewer but bigger bestsellers, Taleb argues, so there may also be "fewer but bigger crises" in the realms of finance and geopolitics. Ihavenotquitemadeupmy mind if the Virginia Tech massacre supports his hypothesis.
But it is surely significant that Cho was consciously mimicking the behaviour of the Columbine killers, while at the same time exceeding their toll of victims. Now,thatsuggestsa really chilling possibility: of more and bigger Black Swans.
Not to mention metal detectors in the lecture halls.
Are nations really like people?

GLENN Hoddle today urged Wolves to shrug off firing two consecutive Molineux blanks and return to the goalscoring trail by overcoming Ipswich at Portman Road tomorrow.
Despite Wolves now being unbeaten in five games, Hoddle remains frustrated by the successive 0-0 home draws with Sheffield United and Southampton which have seen his side drop to tenth in the table losing ground on their fellow promotion and play- off chasers.
But in what is sure to prove a typically open contest against the football-loving Tractor Boys, he hopes Wolves can produce one of their awayday specials to lift the mood.
"I think we can go away from home with confidence because we know we're capable of winning games and scoring a few goals," said Hoddle.
"Stoke, Crewe and Derby are all games where we've done that and we should also have scored four in the first half at Watford and done better at Southampton and Leeds.
"So there's certainly no fear in the squad about going away from home and picking up points on the road.
"And it's a pretty inconsistent league where you can pick up away victories more so than in the Premiership."
Hoddle will probably select from the same squad as last weekend unless Kenny Miller has got through enough training to have recovered from the bout of flu which threatens his return from five weeks' absence with a hamstring injury.
Jody Craddock could be back in the set-up having recovered from a calf problem but Hoddle feels the likes of Rohan Ricketts and Mark Clyde still need more reserve games before being ready for contention.

Error reporting Tools to the rescue
With Ionic 2 Release Candidate 3 the team at Ionic have improved the error reporting tools for developers which means that any time a build error occurs debugging related information is now displayed instead of a blank screen.
Presented in a user-friendly interface the information typically returned includes:
- The exact nature of the error
- The file in which the error occurred
- The line(s) on which the error occurred
- Environment information
Which, as you can see from the below screen capture, is incredibly helpful for debugging and makes fixing issues so much easier for developers:
Sometimes however the error reporting tool doesn't, or simply can't, provide such detailed information due to the way in which the application has been configured (or misconfigured - as the case might be), such as where a component hasn't been registered with the application's root module:
What's interesting though is that even under such circumstances we still receive enough information to guide our debugging options. Given that errors in TypeScript aren't always easy to figure out in the browser presentation layer this is a pretty incredible and massively useful feature, particularly where we can drill down into the exact TypeScript file(s) that we need to amend.
App Build Scripts
The magic for the improved error reporting functionality is driven through the new App Build Scripts.
Located in the @ionic/app-scripts directory these consist of a number of build related npm scripts which implement and manage the different processes for the ionic serve and ionic run commands.
When errors do occur in the build process, a custom ErrorHandling class plugs into the App Build Scripts, to manage those errors by displaying information about them on the screen which means NO more white screen of death.
Can't be bad right?
The following videos, from the team at Ionic, take us through the build feedback tools and hints at plans for the future development of the error reporting functionality:
With each iteration of Ionic 2, and the closer the software gets to official release status, the more impressive the toolsets and features.
Nowhere is this truer than with release candidate 3 and the hugely improved error reporting/build feedback tools which greatly simplifies the process of catching and fixing bugs.
Given the old maxim that 80% of development time is spent fixing 20% of the bugs Ionic 2 RC 3 now helps push the odds in the developer's favour instead.
It's going to be interesting to see how these error reporting tools evolve over coming iterations of the software, particularly when the team at Ionic 2 have done an awesome job of raising the bar so high already.

Asian Shrimp and Noodle Soup
This recipe is an Asian twist on a classic chicken noodle soup. Chicken is swapped with fast-cooking raw and deveined shrimp, traditional herbs are replaced with freshly grated ginger and red pepper flakes, and the broth is infused with white miso paste and a touch of soy sauce. Thinly sliced scallions and fresh Thai basil for garnishing!
- 2 Tbsp toasted sesame oil
- thinly sliced scallions, for garnish
- freshly ground black pepper
- sea salt
- 1 Pound raw, deveined shrimp (26/30 count)
- pinch of dried red pepper flakes
- 3 Tbsp white miso paste
- 4.5 Ounce No Yolk Dumpling Noodles
- 1 tsp low-sodium soy sauce
- cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 5 scallions, thinly sliced
- 8 Ounce shiitake mushrooms, stems removed and thinly sliced
- 2 tsp packed freshly grated ginger
- 1 large leek (tough stems discarded), halved and thinly sliced (roughly 6 ounces)
- fresh Thai basil leaves, for garnish
- Heat the sesame oil in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sliced leeks, and sauté them for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are soft and translucent. Increase heat to medium-high, and add the grated ginger and sliced shiitake mushrooms. Sauté the mushrooms, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and lightly caramelized (3 to 4 minutes).
- Add the scallions, and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the chicken broth and soy sauce to the pot, and bring to a rapid simmer. Add the miso paste and red pepper flakes, and stir until completely dissolved.
- Add the No Yolk Dumpling Noodles, and cook for until just shy of al dente. Reduce heat to low and add the raw shrimp, and continue to cook for 1 to 2 minutes or until pink and no longer translucent and the noodles are al dente. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.
- Serve soup and garnish with thinly sliced scallions and fresh Thai basil leaves.

Five years ago, David Chess wrote a blog post that blew my December 13, 2010 mind. It is titled: Making PNGs with alpha-channel transparency in Photoshop.
Take this martini glass image:
It has a solid white background, but I want it to be on black. Or on orange. Or on a llama.
You can delete the white parts with the magic wand tool, but the gray areas begin to look choppy.
Inverting the image looks fine with a martini glass, but not so great with most other images. You could change the hue or colorize it, but the image gets an ugly tint.
What I really want is to make the white transparent, the black opaque, and map the grey from transparent to opaque. Before today, I thought this was easy in theory, but impossible in practice. I was wrong.
Here are the steps:
It's actually quite easy in Photoshop and it looks great on black, white, or any color! You can even drop it on another image and it looks great!
If you want the new image to have a bolder look, just duplicate it a few times.
My hat is off to David Chess!

'Vulnerable' prisoner's suicide contributed to by neglect
A man who was found hanged in his cell at Parc Prison, near Bridgend, took his own life "in circumstances contributed to by neglect", an inquest jury has ruled today. Both the prison, managed by G4S, and the company responsible for healthcare at the time, Primecare - Forensic Medical Services, contributed to the neglect.
Shaun Beasley, who was 29 and from Surrey, was 'highly vulnerable', his family has said. 'He suffered from serious mental ill health. He had a history of self-harm and had made several serious suicide attempts.' Aberdare Coroner's Court heard he had a history of self-harm, paranoia and depression. He was transferred to HMP Parc specifically so he could enrol in a drugs treatment programme, and placed on a healthcare wing of the prison where he could be checked every half an hour. His body was discovered in his cell on 24 August 2010.
The prison's management says major changes have been made to healthcare services since then. Wayne Ridgely, Shaun Beasley's brother-in-law, says that - had those changes been made earlier - 'he would still be here today.'
Mr Beasley's family have said that those responsible for care at the prison failed him. They point to poor communication between staff, and failures in record-keeping and the documentation of calls. They say, on the night of his death, Mr Beasley phoned to say he could not cope. His sister immediately called the prison to tell them of his state of mind. He was already on half-hour observations, but that was not increased and he was found hanging in his cell shortly after midnight.
The company running healthcare at HMP Parc at the time the prisoner's death, Primecare - Forensic Medical Services, says it recognises the care provided 'fell below our high standards.' It sends its 'sincerest condolences' to Mr Beasley's family and friends.
G4S, the security company which manages Parc Prison on behalf of the Ministry of Justice, says that there's been a 'fundamental review' of the way vulnerable prisoners are cared for since Mr Beasley's death.
Sophie Willet from the Howard League for Penal Reform says there's a concern that cuts to prison budgets could end up in more tragic deaths.

In the annals of clashes between parents and school administrators, it may be a high water mark: A group of parents occupied an elementary school auditorium in East Harlem overnight and vowed not to leave until the principal resigned.
In the end, the parents did not follow through on their pledge. They stayed in the school through Thursday night, but by 9 a.m. on Friday hunger and fatigue had worn them down and they left the building, still insisting that the principal step down.
The standoff was the latest chapter in a dispute that has roiled the school, Central Park East I, for more than a year. Parents who want the principal, Monika Garg, removed say she is destroying the culture of the school, which was founded in 1974 and has long been regarded as a beacon of progressive education.
Another group that includes some Central Park East I parents and principals of two schools closely aligned with Central Park East I, maintain that the principal, who arrived in 2015, has been trying to restore order to a school that had become dysfunctional.
The conflict has raised questions about who should control a school and what happens when a new administrator tries to make changes.
Ms. Garg has responded defiantly, saying that her critics are a minority of parents who are using hyperbole and acting in bad faith.
"How can we possibly expect to teach our children to be kind while ourselves modeling such immature and reprehensible behavior?" she said on Thursday afternoon at the start of a meeting of the school's leadership team that was attended by about 100 people.
"Just to be very, very clear," she said later, "I am not going anywhere."
The meeting was crowded because the co-presidents of the school's parent association had said in advance that they planned to present Ms. Garg with a "letter of no confidence" that they said a majority of families supported.
One co-president, Kenya Dilday, read the letter at the meeting, but a list of its supporters was not made public.
When Ms. Dilday finished, some parents stood and began to shout demands that they be allowed to speak. After a scrum over a sign-up sheet, school safety officers moved the meeting downstairs to the school's auditorium.
For the next hour, parents, teachers and others spoke. Most gave their reasons for wanting Ms. Garg to leave, but some came to her defense.
Parents opposed to Ms. Garg said she had used the Education Department's investigative arm to punish and drive out talented teachers. Two teachers have been removed from the school since Ms. Garg arrived, and the department has moved to terminate them.
Anika Tam, who attended the school and has two children enrolled there now, said that her son and his classmates were upset when their teacher, Marilyn Martinez, was removed this year, and that Ms. Garg had not visited the classroom for two weeks afterward.
"Monika Garg is actively harming my children with wanton neglect and disregard for their needs," Ms. Tam said.
The principals of Central Park East II, a sister school, and Central Park East High School, which is in the same building as Central Park East I, defended Ms. Garg, saying the school was troubled before she arrived.
"I find it ironic that this community enabled itself to be rudderless and leaderless for a long period of years," Bennett Lieberman, the Central Park East High School principal, said. "We witnessed high levels of dysfunction in the building prior to Monika being hired. I witnessed it firsthand. Never once did I hear anybody speak out in similar fashion, not once."
At about 6:30 p.m., Ms. Dilday said a group of parents planned to stay in the school until Ms. Garg resigned. By then, a large contingent of police and school safety officers had gathered, and four of them escorted Ms. Garg out.
About a dozen parents held up a banner and began to sing protest songs. When a school custodian tried to close the building, Ms. Dilday apologized but said the parents needed to be heard by Mayor Bill de Blasio and by Carmen Fariña, the schools chancellor, and that they would stay, at least until the police removed them.
The parents sent out a news release at 6:40 p.m. saying that 12 of them had been arrested. In fact, no one was arrested.
On Friday, an Education Department official met with the parents who had stayed at the school overnight. Jennifer Roesch, one of the group's organizers, said she left the meeting feeling that the department was standing behind Ms. Garg.
A spokeswoman for the Education Department, Toya Holness, said that a group of experts would be convened to "chart the path ahead."
Also on Friday, a person identifying himself as a parent at the school called into Mr. de Blasio's weekly radio appearance on WNYC. The mayor, who joined the show from California, said he knew there had been concerns at the school in the past but he did not know the details of the current situation. He said he would discuss it with Ms. Fariña.
"This is an unusually strong response by parents," he said. "I want to understand it better."
The school's founder, Deborah Meier, said in a telephone interview that she considered the situation tragic and did not understand why Ms. Garg had not been replaced. "It's beyond me that they would let children live in a school that is going through this for two years," Ms Meier said.

Geshe Sherap feed ducks at local park.
Liberating animals who are in imminent danger of losing their life, is considered very precious in the Mahayana tradition, as every sentient being, no matter how small, values their life more than anything else.
The animal liberation practice is based on the fundamental principle of non violence to that life. This practice emphasizes the aspiration to develop great compassion, wisdom and to dedicate one's spiritual life for the welfare of all sentient beings.
The animals are blessed with the recitation of the Avalokiteshvara Sadhana and many auspicious mantras during the puja.
By blessing the animals, participants generate positive intention in their mind and further to the minds of the animals, increasing the likelihood of a future rebirth where they too can engage in spiritual practice and ultimately purify and perfect their minds. By saving beings one directly benefits them by giving them precious life and those who save beings also receive immeasurable benefits by creating the positive karma to enjoy a longer life and to be free from illness. Moreover, this practice is a common and vital practice for those who are sick or have heavy obstacles to their life.
Geshe Tenzin Sherap says: "When you save a life, automatically you create the karma of a longer life, even if you don't expect it. This practice can help practitioners who liberate the animals and be dedicated for those with life obstacles and to help them to obtain long and meaningful lives." Through this practice, one can create positive karma and great compassion.
You may make a request for a fish liberation by calling (909) 622-3297.
Geshe Sherap releases anchovies from tank.
Gocha Rinpoche and Geshe Sherap feed the ducks.
Geshe Sherap and students release fish from the tanks to extend their lives, create positive merit and increase the habit of concern for others.
Geshe Sherap invites students to feed the ducks at a local park, as there is great merit in feeding the animals who are hungry.
~May all sentient beings have happiness and its cause.
~May all sentient beings be freed from suffering and its cause.
~May all sentient beings never be separated from the happiness
that is beyond all suffering.
~May all sentient beings abide in equanimity, free from attraction
that holds some close and aversion that keeps others distant.

No issue how small your business really is, you could still be one of those "big shots" in your market by getting your solutions and products to be marketed on the internet. For this you have to style techniques that would let you to be more qualified against the ever more difficult market.
Besides, considering that just creating web page you might get the specific viewers, I would not be amazed not to see any strikes on your web page for several weeks. This becomes even more intense if you are short on resources for getting excellent bandwidth for the site, establishing server components and effective software for making your web page on the internet helpful for Search engines like Google, Yahoo or MSN.
Do not be disappointed, as there are a number of web hosts that offer some help to the most beginner organizations that requirement on the internet identification. The first step would be to recognize the sections that you want to get value from.
You can begin by looking for an E-commerce variety that would absolutely fulfill your expected needs. Thinking how you might begin of looking for just the place could be a serious problem. Following are some sound advice to reduce your persistence in the process.
A good bandwidth, ideally 45mbps would be just delighting for your guests to help them obtain anything in less than a few moments. Also ensuring that any sign up program could be done easily, such as bank credit cards and contact figures.
In some situations you might come across organizations that obtain solutions from other bigger organizations to provide you. This means more relationships between the service agency and the customer, therefore more problems to be associated. Opt for those E-commerce serves that you can link as straight as possible.
One thing on which you & I would be single would be the use of newest technical accessories as we don't want prehistoric tools operating our web page. The E-commerce variety should be aware of any progression.
Most significantly, the variety suppliers should make sure information on their servers' drives have backups which could be quickly utilized when required to avoid information loss due to power failing.
Most E-commerce serves originally provide 25mb of potential, enough for saving 500 WebPages which is definitely excellent for a start.
Today E-commerce hosting can be availed easily from various forums and search engines at a very nominal cost and with great and reliable services.

Shooting strong-hand two-handed I find that the magazine often drops free before the 6th or (especially) the 7th round chambers.
The mag release seems to be a bit loose all things considered.
While I'm still breaking the 380 in, this is not a particularly welcome development.
I don't have this issue with any other pistol, but maybe the release is placed just right so I'm depressing it? Or maybe needs a tighter spring? (I wouldn't actually mind the latter... seems a bit mushy to me)

Blogger and author Jeremy Hooper appeared on CNN this morning to talk about the LGBT community's reaction to today's anti-gay "Chick-Fil-A appreciation day" and president Dan Cathy's anti-gay statements and donations. Hooper, who also serves as a Special Projects Consultant for GLAAD, notes that Cathy's comments went well beyond simply opposing marriage equality, by calling it "twisted up" and saying that making it legal is "inviting God's wrath."
Hooper told CNN that just as Cathy is entitled to express his opinion with regard to marriage equality, the LGBT community has every right to respond by taking their business elsewhere. Hooper contends that the issue is not one of free speech or religious freedom, since Cathy is not being censored or prevented from holding his anti-LGBT beliefs, but rather one of people choosing to give their business to companies they know hold similar values. By supporting businesses whose values are in the best interest of the LGBT community, we know that our money is not going to support a cause we do not agree with.

I have friends who, for reasons that are beyond me, spend dozens of hours a week skyping. For me to try to convince them to, in turn, try to convince all their contacts to switch to something else would be both futile and egotistical. Google's video chat may one day become more interoperable and have more users than Skype, but ekiga.net, like the GNU/Linux desktop, will forever remain the home of geeks and our non-geek parents.
I personally use my Android phone and tablet to do video chat, on the rare occasions when I use it at all (pidgin or texting usually suits me fine). I still have Skype installed on my laptop, and will welcome a free software implementation of their protocol. Fighting the good fight doesn't matter to me if doing so prevents me from communicating with someone I love.

The Italian Violin
Review by Helen San
THE ITALIAN KEY is a Finnish English-language feature film about a 19 year old orphan named Cabella who is left homeless after her caretaker, Max, dies. Her only inheritance is a key to an empty, run-down villa in Italy. With nowhere else to go, she moves into the villa, makes new friends, and changes lives, including her own. The picture was filmed on location in the UK, Italy, and India.
In the period before theatrical release, The Italian Key has already won several minor film festival awards, including the Las Vegas Film Festival , Honolulu Film Awards, and Feel Good Film Awards (Best Feel Good Feature Film). What is more relevant to this review is that THE ITALIAN KEY score by composer TUOMAS KANTELINEN also won the top honor (Outstanding Achievement) at the 2011 Park City Film Music Festival for both the director's and audience choices.
This movie is about pulling heartstrings. The score, then, is the quintessential tearjerker, complete with weeping strings, pain-laden piano, and track titles like "Mother's Tears." When you think of a soundtrack to a sob story (homeless orphan, anyone?), you can almost see a violin section magically spring up behind the storyteller. THE ITALIAN KEY would be that soundtrack. Most of the music tends to vacillate between affettuoso (with emotion) and lacrimoso (with tears). But it is a feel good movie after all, so the score thankfully also carries an infusion of hope and mischief, repeated just often enough to make it interesting.

I haven't written reviews for the winter/spring months in the past, but these previews have proven to be one of my most popular regular features, so, in the interest of helping you spend your entertainment dollars wisely, I decided to do them for every month, even the dismal graveyard months of January and February.
Something to keep in mind about January: While the month is 98% shit that's been banished here to die an ugly death at the box office, several award-bait projects are expanding wider. I won't write out summaries since they've been covered already, but I'll note them where applicable.
January 4
Once Upon a Time in Anatolia
This is a highly-regarded film from Turkish director Nuri Bilge Ceylan (Three Monkeys) about a group of men traveling through the Anatolian steppes of Turkey in search of a murder victim. After a solid festival season tour in 2011, which included winning a Grand Jury prize at Cannes, Once Upon a Time in Anatolia makes it way to general audiences. If you're looking for any kind of quality at the cinema in January, this is one of your strongest options.
Limited release
January 6
The Devil Inside
I can't watch or think about exorcism movies—they scare the shit out of me. This one is about a girl trying to uncover what really happened during her mother's exorcism by participating in other exorcisms. Or something. The Devil Inside was a surprise box office win, though I'm not sure what exactly was so surprising. It's a Paranormal Activity-style scare fest and those movies always do well and The Devil Inside performed comparably to a PA movie. That said, The Devil Inside scored abysmally with audiences, earning an "F" on Cinemascore and often drawing boos at screenings. Look for it to nosedive in successive weeks in theaters.
January 11
For a generation of movie-goers, Peter Facinelli will be Carlisle Cullen, the scarf-wearingest vampire coven leader to ever grace the big screen in the Twilight movies. For me, Facinelli will always and forever be Mike Dexter. But now PFac is moving into a new phase of his career, that of the writer. Loosies is the first feature film he's written and tells the story of Bobby, whose free-swinging criminal lifestyle comes crashing down when a former one night stand informs him that she's pregnant. It doesn't look totally awful but nor does it look particularly good. It'll be interesting to see if Mike Dexter can engineer a writer's career as well. AmanDUH!
Limited release
January 13
Downtown Abbey's Jessica Brown-Findlay (Lady Sybil) wins the best reviews in this British coming-of-age tale that also stars Felicity Jones (Like Crazy), Julia Ormond and Sebastian Koch (Unknown). Brown-Findlay stars as Emelia, an aspiring novelist who strikes up an affair with her friend Beth's (Jones) father (Koch). It looks pretty cliché but if you're a fan of Lady Sybil I guess it'd be worth it.

Vance (Law & Order), Milo Ventimiglia (Gilmore Girls) and a bunch of other people you've never heard of, The Divide is basically a Lord of the Flies and Blindness mash-up brought to you by the makers of Hitman. And people are trying to say studio execs don't send bad movies to die in January. HA.
Don't Go in the Woods
Vincent D'Onofrio is a very talented actor. Vincent D'Onofrio is not a bad writer. Vincent D'Onofrio might even be a decent director. We're about to find out. Don't Go in the Woods is a horror movie about a band…in the woods…written and directed by Vincent D'Onofrio. Vincent D'Onofrio is a guy who can't hold his shit together for anything. I bet he could cook up a pretty crazy horror story.
Vincent D'Onofrio was born to play Orson Welles. Someone make this happen, like, yesterday.

The Iron Lady*
Previewed in December.
Joyful Noise
Well I think this movie looks like a big steaming pile of horse shit, but it stars Queen Latifah and Dolly Parton and is about a gospel choir realizing their dreams against the stifling expectations of a small town and there's a lot of inspirational singing and hopeful children, so I bet it's a surprise hit at the box office.
Writer/director Ed Burns is back with another tale of idyllic New York City love ruined by a family member. In this case, it's newlyweds (GET IT?!) Buzzy (Burns) and Linda (Caitlin Fitzgerald, It's Complicated) who have their wedded bliss bubble burst by Linda's dysfunctional sister (Kerry Bishe, Red State). Burns isn't a bad filmmaker, even if he does keep telling the same story over and over again, and Newlyweds was met with largely positive reviews at the Tribeca Film Festival last year. Might be worth a look eventually.

Crazy Horse
Legendary Parisian burlesque club Le Crazy Horse de Paris is the subject of documentarian Frederick Wiseman's newest film. It's a thorough behind the scenes look at what goes on at this famous nude revue, from techies to dancers to patrons. This was a very popular selection coming out of the fall film festivals last year (I preferred Wim Wender's Pina), and if you're a fan of dance/burlesque, it's definitely worth a watch eventually.

Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close*
Previewed in December.
Steven Soderbergh is a very talented filmmaker who sometimes gets a wild hare and chases it down to less than stellar results (see also: The Girlfriend Experience). Haywire would appear to be one of those "hey this would be cool" moments for Soderbergh that didn't turn out quite like he wanted. Despite the presence of an outstanding cast—Ewan Macgregor, The Fassbender, Channing Tatum, Bill Paxton, Antonio Banderas, Michael Douglas—and despite some kiss-assy early reviews praising MMA fighter-turned-actress Gina Carano's skills as an action star, her line-readings in the trailer are AWFUL and I don't have high hopes for this movie over all. I'm willing to see it—mostly for The Fassbender—but I'm not expecting a pleasant surprise along the lines of The Grey.
Miss Bala
This Mexican import about a would-be beauty queen who gets sucked into the drug war was another 2011 festival stand out. I passed on it at the Chicago Film Fest because it sounded too fucking depressing, and because I hadn't heard anything that made me think Miss Bala does anything that Maria Full of Grace didn't already do, and better. I doubt I get to this one in theaters but I'll likely Netflix it for future viewing.
Limited release
Red Tails
Ugh, this movie. On the one hand, it's a predominately black cast starring in a movie about the Tuskegee Airmen, which is a topic that is perfectly suited to cinematic treatment (the 1995 movie, The Tuskegee Airmen is well worth your time). On the other hand, it's produced by George Lucas, who might actually be the devil, and it looks awful. I hope I'm wrong, though. The Tuskegee story is one of the best of the WWII-era.
Underworld: Awakening
Kate Beckinsale and Michael Sheen were together for years and have a daughter together. During the filming of the first Underworld movie, though, when Beckinsale's career was at its peak, she left Sheen—who was a virtual nobody at the time—for the Underworld director, Len Wiseman. Nine years later Sheen has become one of the most in-demand character actors out there and is almost certainly a future Oscar nominee. He's coming off a role in Woody Allen's most successful movie ever, Midnight in Paris, and is living with Rachel McAdams. Beckinsale, meanwhile, is playing Marky Mark's wife in Contraband and has Underworld 4. I'm just saying, I wonder if Kate Beckinsale ever wishes for a Time Turner.

The Grey
Though it looks like "Liam Neeson face-punching wolves for two hours", The Grey is a bit deeper and darker than that (although he does punch wolves in the face a couple times). In fact, this movie is good enough that I'm wondering why it's coming out in January and not, say, September. Neeson is the best he's been in the last couple years—at time he's more than a little uncomfortable to watch as he doesn't seem to be acting so much as purging—and director Joe Carnahan (The A-Team) displays considerable visual skill for action sequences. The plane crash is tough to watch if, like me, you're not a good flier to start with. When I write my full review we'll get more into the depiction of the wolves, but for now I'll say it's not demonizing but nor is it really that accurate. The Grey is way, way better than the usual January dreck.
In Darkness
This is Poland's official entry for Best Foreign Language film at the Oscars this year. It's a depressing true story about a man in Nazi-occupied Poland who helps hide and save a group of Jewish refugees. It's based on the memoir of one of the survivors and In Darkness got good notice at TIFF last year. This is the kind of movie that I really have to steel myself to see. Surviving-the Nazis movies are almost always worth it, but they're always so hard to sit through.
Limited release
La guerre est declaree (Declaration of War)
I'm down with the idea of this movie—a young couple faces the serious illness of a child—especially since the child's survival is understood from the very beginning. What I'm not down with is the lead characters being named Romeo and Juliette, which is just twee and ridiculous. But then, I thought The Artist was kind of twee and ridiculous, so maybe that's just a trend in French cinema right now. Other than that, this looks like a decent movie, if not extraordinary. However, the fact that it's in French means it will get at least a +15% bump for the artsy factor.
NY/LA only
Man on a Ledge
My like for Jamie Bell does not outweigh my extreme dislike for walking cardboard cutout Sam Worthington, I'm indifferent to Elizabeth Banks, and Ed Harris has made one too many shitty "for the paycheck" movies for me to fully trust his taste. So in all, Man on a Ledge holds little appeal for me. But if you're looking for something heisty and thrillery, Man on a Ledge may as well satisfy…you know what? NO. Between The Grey and Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy there's no reason to see Man on a Ledge. There are much, MUCH better options for a thriller this month.
One for the Money
Originally developed for Sandra Bullock and based on Janet Evanovich's long-running Stephanie Plum mystery series, One for the Money practically sells itself. This is a crowd pleaser, an easy hit, a slam-dunk spring score. Or, it should have been. Instead it looks horrid and it's been sent to January to die a hopefully quiet death.
Previewed in November.

Many travellers are searching for Adrenaline Things To Do In Khao Lak With Children, Average people take average vacations and you do not seem to be the type of person who wants an average vacation. If you wanted an average vacation, you would not Google things to do in Khao Lak. Khao Lak is a vacation spot for people who love adventure, who love excitement, who love luxury and who love the great outdoors.

Adrenaline Things To Do In Khao Lak With Children, The one thing regarding a great city and just what it gives you being a vacationer is it lets you truly name your adventure. By naming your adventure we mean that there are many activities, so many different experiences to be had that you can create their ideal vacation in the town. Not everybody wants the exact same thing whenever they go on vacation. We all have different vacation styles like we all have different personalities. There is absolutely no wrong way to vacation and there's no one-size-fits-all experience. Whenever you name your adventure you choose the type of vacation that matches your personality and therefore even taps in to the aspirational aspects of who you want to be. So that it isn't practically that you arrived at vacation as but whom you can become while you're on a break, and the way that transforms your daily life. A trip can be extremely transformative and can leave an impression for you for the remainder of your life. For many of us, this is why we travel. We travel to become new, to refresh us, to remove the strain of our own daily lives, to have out to the world and get physical, to view things which we cannot see in your local environment.
So a vacation represents a variety of items to numerous categories of people. When you arrived at a town such as this one there's no shortage of things you can do. You'll find that can be done very cultural stuff like search for a museum intake in the arts, you can go go to the beach if you wish to, you are able to rent a scooter and travel around the city and all sorts of to the backward places at the same time, it is possible to embark on different kinds of sports, you will discover all types of outdoor activities to do. You can even search for a spy and relax every single day you are here. Irrespective of what you're trying to find in a vacation you will discover it within the city.
So the aim of an article like this really should not be to easily lay out a long list of things or places that you have to go. Instead you need to give attention to what you're truly looking for. I can tell you with in all honesty that most the normal attractions you can find, all the type of luxury travel things that you might look for you will discover, you will find spots, you'll find Temple, you'll find methods to be spiritual, you'll find strategies to exercise outside and eat outside air, that can be done water sports, you can swing coming from a tree, you could do almost anything that you need to do with a vacation here. And then we don't worry about giving you a long list of things you can do because once you get here you are going to discover the particular vacation you want to obtain. You locate all the statues and everything that you might want to adopt a photo while watching offer your friends and relatives. But you also find more. You may wind up finding whom you really are and you might end up with a truly transformative experience but it's all under your control to have that and to determine which it truly ways to you. So to us a getaway this is simply not about jumping over a plane and check out somewhere different than where you're as a result is all about more than that. It can be about bring it all the spirit in the traveler. There exists a saying you could travel without having to be well traveled. And you will find a major distinction between the two. There's something to state about attending a area in possessing a superficial experience versus planning to area in becoming truly immersed within a different culture. If there's everything that we can direct one to do throughout vacation that is to consider and everything as well as to become one with the environment. That is certainly how you have the ultimate time on the vacation in a major city like this one.

Just push yourself, jump into the waters, swim on it and keep your eyes open. That way you'll see the beauty underneath and once you get used to it, it is rather easy.

Services & Apps for the BMW 2 Series Gran Tourer.
Communication, information and entertainment – experience mobility in a completely new way with the Services & Apps from BMW ConnectedDrive.
The Intelligent Emergency Call guarantees fast, targeted assistance round-the-clock as well as support from trained staff – in the driver's native language, even when they're abroad. If an accident takes place involving the activation of an airbag or the belt tensioners (for example), the system automatically issues an emergency call. Relevant details such as the exact position of the car, the severity of the accident and the possible risk of injury to occupants are transmitted to the BMW Call Centre via the car's built-in SIM card, i.e. independent of a private mobile phone. The BMW Call Centre will inform the nearest rescue coordination centre and provide assistance over the phone until the rescue services arrive. The emergency call can also be triggered manually in case other road users require help, for example.
How the Intelligent Emergency Call works.
The equipment option ConnectedDrive Services forms the basis for BMW ConnectedDrive functions, which provide the driver with a wide range of information, entertainment and service features while on the road.
These include BMW Online, which provides access to current, location-based information such as weather and news, an online search powered by GoogleTM as well as office functions. In addition, an individual range of services such as fuel price information, parking information, as well as travel and hotel guides may be set up via the applications menu. This also includes convenient, secure and unlimited access to selected smartphone apps. ConnectedDrive Services also provides access to the BMW ConnectedDrive Store, in which services such as Real Time Traffic Information, Remote Services, Online Entertainment and Concierge Services can easily be ordered and extended to suit the user's individual requirements. The equipment option ConnectedDrive Services offers all this and more, making every trip in a BMW a real experience.
How ConnectedDrive Services work.

Thanks to Preparation for Apple CarPlay®*, drivers can conveniently use a compatible iPhone® securely and wirelessly while on the go. This allows smartphone content, along with functions such as music, iMessages/text messages, telephony, Siri and selected third-party apps, to be displayed and operated in the regular manner, even via the vehicle's user interface. Preparation for Apple CarPlay can be used via touch input, the iDrive Controller or voice control, depending on the vehicle's equipment.
*Available from summer 2017
BMW Connected is a personal mobility assistant which facilitates everyday mobility and aids drivers in reaching their destinations relaxed and on time. All relevant services are also remotely available at all times on iPhone und Apple Watch via the app.
Destinations that have been found in the web or via other application such as Yelp, Apple Maps, Google Maps can be easily and conveniently imported into BMW Connected and seamlessly transferred to the vehicles navigation system with just a single click. Meetings, including addresses and intended arrival times, saved in the iPhone calendar are automatically imported into the BMW Connected mobility agenda. Based on current location and traffic conditions, BMW Connect calculates the planned arrival time, alerts users ahead of time and guides them on foot from the parked car to their final destination. If a delay is unavoidable due to unforeseeable traffic obstacles or if no parking space is available in the immediate vicinity of the final destination, users can send a text message via BMW connected to inform the waiting party of the estimated time of arrival, without having to physically use their phone. In addition, BMW Connected learns to recognize frequent destinations and automatically adds them to the mobility agenda.
The BMW Connected App can be downloaded from the Apple App Store.
- BMW Connected App on the App Store
The myKidio App by Deutsche Telekom and TV Spielfilm offers a unique in-car entertainment solution for families with children, which is based on the user's personal end devices instead of permanently installed equipment: tablets and smartphones.
With the app installed on the end devices, the parents choose the media or the children choose for themselves from a selection of child-appropriate content: quality films, audio books, documentaries or exciting television shows. Via the vehicle's iDrive Controller and Control Display, the parents have control over their children's media consumption at all times. They can monitor the media being played in the Control Display, select new content and interrupt the playing. The Kids' Cockpit shows the current speed, estimated arrival time and similar information, making the time fly for children.
The programme is drawn from an extensive database and is presented to the children in the rear seats on iPads, which are attached to the headrests of the seats ahead with the Travel & Comfort System from Original BMW Accessories. When the myKidio channel is turned on, new content is constantly loading in the background, so that there is always enough entertainment during the drive.
Hardly have time to read? Audio books are an answer that are constantly attracting more enthusiasts – among other reasons, because they allow drivers to enjoy literature while in the car. With the Audible app for the iPhone (available for a fee), over 150,000 audio books and spoken-word titles are available for download.
Audible offers the terrific opportunity to make the best of the commute with a good book. On long trips, children's books keep the little ones' boredom at bay, and for adults, literary fare provides a welcome change to music.
To use this certified "BMW Apps ready" in the BMW, just download it from the App Store, connect the smartphone by USB or the snap-in adapter and start the app. Immediately, all of the app functions can be operated comfortably and safely with the iDrive Controller and the Control Display , and the audio books are played over the car's audio system.
For anyone who has ever wanted to know what it is like to have their own personal butler, here is the chance: with Concierge Services from BMW ConnectedDrive. At the push of a button the driver is connected with a BMW Call Centre agent who acts as their ""personal assistant"" on the road.
From a particular restaurant to the nearest cash dispenser or an emergency pharmacy – the BMW Call Centre agent is there to help and can even send information directly to the navigation system. Concierge Services operate independently of the driver's mobile phone and are available in their home country and abroad, around-the-clock, seven days a week and at no extra cost.
This option is only available in conjunction with ConnectedDrive Services.
How Concierge Services work.
Real Time Traffic Information (RTTI) provides the most up-to-date traffic information at all times. Precise details about the location and duration of delays is transmitted, in order to keep the driver informed, nearly in real time, about the current traffic situation on motorways, country roads and on many routes within the city. Intelligent alternative route suggestions help the driver reach their destination as quickly and efficiently as possible. The data is drawn from such sources as anonymous movement profiles from the GPS data of vehicle fleets, smartphone apps and police reports, and also takes into account established traffic patterns such as peak commute times.
The traffic information is clearly presented, with the roads depicted in green, yellow, orange and red.
How Real Time Traffic Information works.
With the Remote Services of the BMW Connected App (available in the Apple App Store), various vehicle-related functions, such as locking and unlocking the car, can be operated remotely.
Just as the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal, the app also offers the opportunity to access vehicle information such as range or the status of the windows and doors. That way the driver is always fully informed about the status of the vehicle, even from a distance, and also has all information conveniently gathered together at one glance.
This information package is rounded out with the display of the vehicle's current location. To use this feature, customers simply need to activate Remote Services once in the BMW ConnectedDrive customer portal at www.bmw-connecteddrive.com.

This year, for Christmas, Mr. Bean got me a greenhouse cart. Three levels. With humidity trays, adjustable lights, and a cover to keep all that earthy goodness perfectly moist and away from munching kitties.
He knows how much I have struggled with getting my garden plants started from seeds the last few years. We have no south-facing windows, and so invariably, my seed-started peppers and tomatoes end up leggy and small, and I eventually give up and go to the garden center for flats.
Not this year.
Last Sunday, because Easter was so out of kilter for all of us anyway, I came home from church and got busy starting my seeds out on the back porch in the 70-degree sunshine. As it turned out, several friends stopped by (Thank God for our friends. Seriously. I think we all would have ended up...well, I don't even want to think about where we would have spent the last five months without them) toward the end of the seeding time and all stood around, drinking champagne and making all the appropriate Oooo and Ahhhhh noises over the greenhouse cart.
But here I am, a week later, and I have lovely sprouted veggies. Not spindly, sickly, hung-over looking things, but hearty, thick stemmed beauties, resplendent with secondary cotyledons. Well, I was so tickled I started another two flats of flowering herbs today.
We can get lost in ourselves sometimes. We go to work, we struggle through our relationships, we search for meaning in our everyday activities. But sometimes, we can marvel at the simple miracle of plant growing from seed, the smell of wet earth, the bringing forth of beauty and sustenance from what seems to be nothing, and we can remember that the world is a remarkable place.
I'm going to go thank S. again for my Christmas present. He always knows what I need, even when I don't.
I'll update you after the garden gets roto-tilled in (amazing that I got a greenhouse and he just happened to get a roto-tiller for his tractor), and we start getting down to serious business for this year. Our neighborhood is especially hungry this year, and I'm looking forward to having our garden help sustain us all in more ways than one.
In the meantime, feast your eyes on these lovelies:

Okay, I've only read as far as secondary cotyledons, and had to comment immediately.

Okay now, don't let them get too leggy!

and another thing about about me, my garden is where i get lost in..one of my favorite places to be!!! I shall take some tomotoes in August please:)

I wanted to post a comment about how industrious you are or how great it is that you can still find a simple seed growing in earth to be a beautiful thing... but I have to type "restch" as my confirmation word and I just don't like it.
:) hugs

BHD, I said secondary cotyledons just to turn you on. I'm glad it worked. And I have the lights set 6" over the plants. If they get too leggy there, I'm just giving up.
And Kate, I think that, if you're going to b*tch about your word, you should have to define it:
Restch (r|stch) v.intr. To complain, vociferously, while remaining in a state of complete immobility.
"All he did this weekend was lay on the couch and restch"
Oh Gawd. i'm a restch!
