On the flip side though, I suppose that allows me a longer time to conceptualize the designs and continue to refine my process by going a bit slower. : ) There are two new designs which I'm delighted to share with you, that will be released this upcoming month of December--but first,
they are making a trip to Disney World where they will be on location for a photo shoot with our very first Pop Princess spokes model! (I'm looking forward to introducing you to her, she is adorable! For now, I am keeping it a secret to surprise you!)
I've also decided to budget, and purchase a nice digital SLR camera over the winter month as I think it is time for me to be able to show off the details and beauty that the garments I make deserve. I feel I am short changing not only you, but myself as well by not being able to capture them professionally.
For now, a few sneak peeks... <3
Red Velvet Bunny Tea Party OP:
When I first got the red bunny fabric, I wasn't certain what I was going to do with it until the weather started to turn colder and I thought to myself that girls would want to look very pretty but still be able to keep warm. I was between a lovely silk and a deep, cushy top of the line velvet. As you can see, I went with the velvet and it is GORGEOUS, just gorgeous. My camera just can't capture how lush the fabric is in person. I adore it so much, I've decided to do another but in black!
I went ahead with a lovely mutton style, full sleeve with a bias bound keyhole and a 3/4 length, that allows the buttoned up cuff to rest just above the elbow which accentuates the fullness. It took me some time to dye the lace by hand, about 3 batches, to get it the right kind of shade that would accent the red in the bunny fabric, but also work nicely with the richness of the velvet.
Alice in Wonderland Frame JSK:
As you can see, the bodice features a bit of shirring at the bust line with tiny pin tuck gathers, as well as a pinch of gathering at center front where the bow is placed. The bodice is sewn in three separate sections to allow for the scallop chemical lace trim and roses to be inserted properly, and also gives
it a smoother, more flattering fit. I also realized these sections would need a touch of interfacing to stiffen them, especially with the pull of the lace up ribbon.
This pattern took quite a lot of work, and caused me a bit of frustration in order to get the corset like panels in the right place, lining up the print as best I could, and then that darn sweetheart neckline decided to give me a bit of trouble as well! And then of course all the top stitching looks lovely, but took some time to get right. But, all's well that ends well. Initially, I was going to go with a 5/8" wine colored ribbon, but in the end went with the 1/4" because I felt it worked better with the criss cross design of the roses.
Both of these prints will be headed to Disney World this next for an exclusive photo shoot with our very first Pop Princess Spokes Model! : 3 I am very excited to introduce you to her, as she is a very sweet girl, and lovely! Can't wait to share those photos as well, how exciting!
Look for these dresses to be up at Pop Princess after the weekend of the 21st, perhaps even sooner, depending upon how the shoot goes! So they will be up no later than the week before Christmas!
So what do you think, my loves? : 3 Would you like to see more designs like this? With velvet and trims?

Once, a couple of years ago, I thought one would be enough, a couple of months ago it was six (although that was between two people), but then having seen the latest Amazon new Kindle Paperwhite it's now definitely seven.
However, this is not so much a blog about why you should get the new Kindle Paperwhite, but rather why my wife and I ended up with six eReaders between us.
Firstly, a little bit of history. The first Nook came out on 30 November 2009 and my wife was immediately interested in it. Firstly as a way of prolonging the day before we'd have to get a bigger house to store all the books we have, and secondly to make it easier to read the enormous fantasy tomes she was starting to get into. One problem, however, they weren't available in Australia.
On the other hand we were going to America so I got dragged into a couple of Barnes and Noble stores while she talked to the sales person about the Nook. I have to admit it wasn't that much of a trial, a whole room of history books - I was in heaven.
However, it wasn't until our return to Australia that she actually decided she would buy one. And that's when she discovered Barnes and Noble wouldn't sell to Australia at that stage. Luckily a good friend was doing a business trip to America shortly after so he was given the shopping list.
One thing that convinced my wife to purchase the Nook, rather than any other eReader was that Barnes and Noble had a much better range of books from the major publishers than anyone else. Unfortunately they refused to sell outside of America. Luckily there are ways around that little problem.
Of course once we had everything working I decided I wanted one, unfortunately our friend wasn't due to go back to America for at least another six months.
It was about that time that the first Kobo launched in Australia for $199 from Borders and Angus & Robertson. The original Kobo received a mediocre review from CNET, which said that, "while the Kobo was compact, lightweight and affordable, the lack of Wi-Fi or 3G made it outdated, especially when there were similarly priced eReaders available with those features." Regardless I wanted one.
It was pretty basic machine, but I liked that it wasn't locked into any specific store. Which was a good thing because it you weren't interested in the top 100 the range at that time was pretty slim. However, it did introduce me to those publishers such as Baen and Harlequin who were selling direct.
And then came the Kindle. This one really was a big of a surprise. I had tried to avoid Amazon simply because of their monopolistic practices, but when my wife discovered she could get one for $5 because of the points we'd earned on the plastic fantastic, well that was it. It did take me about a year to switch my affection to the Kindle, but it had a number of significant strengths over that first Kobo:
1 - it had wifi so you could purchase books from the Kindle itself,
2 - its refresh rate was much quicker, and
3 - you could email manuscripts to the Kindle and read them on screen (paperless publishing - here I come!)
At that time the Nook still had a better range of fantasy and SF authors from the larger publishers. So of course when the first touch screen Nook came out my wife wanted one. As a loving and understanding husband I of course offered to buy her one, and the fact that I was to get the old one, with access to all her library of books had only a little to do with my willingness.
So - four eBook readers. The fifth was an iPad, which I now use to check Hague Publishing's books in the Apple store and to peruse the occasional magazine. And the sixth?
The sixth was the Nook Simple Touch GlowLight which allows you to read in the dark. Once again my wife saw it and decided she needed to have one. By now I was seriously into eBook publishing so there seemed little point in arguing that she didn't need another one as she already had two (particularly as I had three).
So how may eBook readers IS enough? If I was forced into a corner I'd probably say five would do us. The iPad, two Nooks (one each), a Kindle and a Kobo. If I wasn't publishing I could probably drop either the Kindle or the Kobo, but not both. My wife won't give me access to her B&N account (too worried about me breaking it) and there are books I want to buy that she doesn't want to sully her Nook's screen (Eric Flint for one).
In part 2 I'll be covering the growth in eBook sales over the last couple of years, and what tablets seem to be doing to the eBook reader market. In the meantime you might want to read Janis Hill's comments on the pros-and-cons of ebooks

Tell him there is "nothing new under the sun," as Solomon says.
If you grew up in church you may have heard this phrase quoted many times like it is the words of Christ. It's not.
In fact, Solomon was quite possibly depressed when he wrote it. When was the last time you allowed a depressed person guide your life?
This quote got to me throughout my life until recently. I grew up in church and I believe the Bible to be God's Word, so everything in it must be something to live by, right?
Wrong. Some things are simply true accounts of what happened for us to learn from. This quote from Solomon is a case in point.
The quote comes from Ecclesiastes, where Solomon struggles to find the meaning of life. He finds it 12 chapters after this quote.
Last fall, at Willow Creek's Global Leadership Summit, one of the speakers spoke at length about all of the things since Solomon that HAVE been new.
Like the resurrection.
Like Jesus walking on water.
Like computers.
Like the fact that I am writing this post on an iPhone.
After a bit it begins to sound ridiculous that I ever took this quote to heart as anything more than a true description of a soul struggling through dark days.
I've been there, and it sure feels like nothing special is going on when I'm there.
But there are special things going on.
Like the book you are writing.
Like the new song you are writing for your church.
Like the new backgrounds you are creating for the new series at your church.
Like your life. It's never been lived before, and you get to bring it to life.
There is something new under the sun, so don't let the depressed and negative people in your life distract you. In fact, don't let them in your life at all. They're not worth it.
Go do something new just to spite them.
Stuff that in your pipe and smoke it, Solomon.
What new thing are you going to do today?

Kitchen counters are one of the most important aspects of the kitchen, and comparing prices of functional and beautiful counter tops will help homeowners get the most out of the kitchen remodeling. Choose Inner City Skyline Inc. And let us show you samples of top brands and professionally install it for you!
There are number of different options for countertops for kitchens in Riverside. For homeowners starting a new kitchen remodeling project, planning which type of kitchen counters are crucial for a successful kitchen remodeling. Homeowners that love to cook are recommended one type of kitchen counters vs those that eat out more frequently and want something shiny and exotic. Inner city Skyline, a professional general contractor and kitchen remodeling designers offer customization and a well-
Comparing different counters will help you choose the right one for your kitchen in Riverside. For homeowners that often cook at home, and spend time with children in the kitchen, we recommend using solid surface Corian branded counters. They look professional, and yet require little or no maintenance. It does get scratched often but removing scratches is not that difficult as its simple as a sanding down the surface. The costs are in line with natural stone and that might be a problem for most homeowners that are 1st time buyers and do not have the budget for something grand. Laminate kitchen counters are another option and are more affordable. It's a cheaper product to have for a kitchen, but works well overall. Costs are 2X less than solid surface and often used for rentals.
When you go on to higher end counters, we recommend Granite countertops as a viable option for luxury homes. Sealing is a concern for these types of counters, but homeowners have the luxury of picking natural stones that look and feel great! Costs are uncomfortably high for most homeowners and it does require sturdier cabinets but overall the value is kept well. Those that don't want to deal with the natural stone feel can simply go concrete counters and the look is very professional. It's commonly used and it offers an affordable yet discrete style that most homeowners enjoy.
The options are endless when it comes to choosing the right counters for your project. We showed you some of our favorites but have not touched up on all of the counters that are available for homeowners.

We arrived from Melbourne 2 hours early, but were given a warm welcome and taken straight to our room, which was fantastic as we were tired and had a 2 1/2 year old grandson who was getting cranky. Much appreciated. We had a penthouse apartment and it was spacious and clean. The views from both balconies were fabulous, particular the upstairs balcony which was large and had a table setting for 6 (an umbrella would have made it perfect as morning sun was very strong !!) Our daughter and son-in-law and grandson had the lower level, which had 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, and the kitchen/dining/lounge, plus laundry facilities, whilst we had the upstairs bedroom which had ensuite, plus TV and a lounge, making it a perfect retreat for an afternoon nap !!! Walking along the beach track was a daily pleasure …. to the right straight to Tugun SLSC, and there are plenty of shops, cafes etc., and to the left straight to Currumbin SLSC, and a strip of shops and cafes. The pool at Sandcastles is set up well with a spa, and lots of palm trees to give you the tropical feel !!! Be aware that all along this part of the coast, you are subjected to constant air traffic (which we didn't mind at all, it was quite fun). You need to do a shop as soon as you can, to stock up with necessities … the rooms are all self-contained and you need extra toilet rolls, laundry detergent etc. Kitchen was very well equipped. All in all, highly recommended for couples and families.

the wonderful essence of this plant."
After travelling the globe, interacting with some of the most fascinating tea producers, and drinking phenomenal cups of teas, it would be unjust not to share our experience with the world. We have had the privilege of doing just that for the last decade, with the sole objective of buying and serving the best cup of tea. It is the drive for perfection and love for this wonderful beverage that brought about the creation of Teafields.
Our goal has always been to make quality teas more accessible, more relevant and ultimately more personal.
We care for the product from the time those two leaves and a bud have been plucked from the bush, to the time it touches your lips. It is our responsibility to ensure that every customer experiences the wonderful essence of this plant.
We believe that tea in its purest form can only be cherished at source. Taking a leaf out of this theory, we have managed to set up a logistical platform to ensure that the same quality found at a tea garden is delivered to your cup, anywhere in the world.
Our collection is an assortment of traditional blends, single origin teas and some wonderful infusions. All have been carefully selected with the single objective of providing the perfect cup of tea. The Teafields collection represents a new era in the relationship that people have with drinking tea.

Signac´s La Mer
In his encyclopaedia "The Subject in Painting", Paul Signac writes about an imaginary composition that had he painted it, could well have belonged with his depictions of the Port of Concarneau…
"…. If he is sensitive to the play of harmony, he will soon perceive …. how the kind of symphonie create by boats with blue sails is completed by the arrival of the crew dressed in orange clothing. Nature will reveal to him the two fold law of the analogy of resemblance and the analogy of opposites …He will understand that an object in isolation does not exist in itself, and he will seek in nature those colours and forms that will allow him to sing the song he carries within him".
He conceived of the paintings as a sequence of related images, different movements of the same piece, like the shymphonie´s structure. Even the last painting has agitated movement ,resemble the faster tempo associated with the last sonata´s part). Tempo mark (indicate) a particular speed and also evoke moods: serious, graceful and so on.
In this sense, Louis de Lùtece (whose prose-poem "Les Symphonies: Pochades impressionnistes" is close in time and spirit to Signac`s La Mer) not only established analogies between color-music and temporal conditions, but also matched the MOODS evoked by nature´s "colored symphonies" to specific musical tempos:
"….. Each one of these marvelous symphonies has its dominant color lavished passionately upon it and blended with love … Its favorite note, which recurs, sings, captivates, charms, is never monotone although always the same, playing either a joyous allegro, or a sacred andante, or a playful scherzo, or a sonorous finale." Lùtece extend his analogy between nature and music a few lines later in his poem by comparing particular times of the day to the tempos listed above:
- Vivacious rhythms (SCHERZO) = SPRING DAWN
- Swift brightness (ALLEGRO) = SUNNY SUMMER DAY
- Slow pace (ANDANTE) = AUTUMN TWILIGHT
- Passionate strains (FINALE) = WINTER SUNSET (bold colors)
Rhythm is another concept borrowed from music, in both music and paintings depends on REPETITION, particular combinations of lines and shapes may be replicated on a larger or smaller scale or dispersed at various points around the canvas, the can even be reversed like a musical palindrome.
Our perception of distance is also important in this connection, one intringuing feature of painting is that the distance separating similar forms can be "read" in two quite different ways. Also in music is possible make a translation between the space of time into the figures that make it, and the distance that suggest.
Contributing further to its musicality is the decorative formalism Signac employed in each of its paintings via the interplay of horizontal ripples and vertical or diagonal masts and sails; the rhythmic repetition of boats; and the plethora of simplified and flattened forms.Together, these decorative devices push La Mer´s imagery in the direction of abstraction, a condition comparable to music´s inherently non-mimetic and abstract qualities.
Signac´s interest in musicality as a model or standar for his art, especially his seascapes, was also the result of music´s abstract capacity for, in Baudelaire´s words, "translating ideas." Music and musicality allowed Signac to do exactly that, by functioning as vehicles to express the "superior, sublimated reality" that Fénéon identified in 1887 as the consummate result of neo-impressionist representation.
Antoine de la Rochefoucauld, in an essay on Signac published in Le Coeur in 1893, wrote: "He (Signac) knows how to extend the limits of painting and, a true hierophant, fearlessly penetrates the most ideal provinces of music. If his canvases are admirable to the eyes, their symphonies are no less and stirring through the miracle of luminous waves transformed into sonorous, complete with grandeur and majesty."

Why You Need a Mobile-Friendly Chiropractic Website
Internet-capable smartphones and tablets are quickly becoming as popular as desktop and laptop computers for searching the Web. In fact, nearly 50% of website traffic now comes from mobile devices.
This means that your patients and prospective patients are using their phones and tablets to look at your practice website.
Does your website display well on all of these different devices? A mobile-friendly site that displays optimally across devices is known as a "responsive website."
How Does Responsive Website Design Work?
When a chiropractic website is designed to be responsive, it is able to tell on which type of device it is being viewed. In a split second, the site automatically adjusts to deliver the design that is appropriate for that device. The images, content, menu bar – all adjusted for optimal user-experience on any screen.
Responsive Chiropractic Website Examples
Each and every Perfect Patients website is developed with this mobile-friendly intelligence so that your patients and prospective patients see a beautiful site whether they're viewing it on a desktop computer, smartphone, or tablet.

OH this DIY Pinterest! This photo Valentines Day card, I absolutely fell in love with it and the kids agreed – this is what we'd make for their Valentine's cards this year.
The project would of been super easy if:
- I only had to create for 1 child
- I had bought enough lollipops (10 pm at Target, they know me well there!)
Other than that – this totally fun photo valentine's day card was a cinch to make! Here is how I did it.
Valentine's Day Photo Card Supplies
- Digital photo of your kid (see instructions below)
- Printer
- PicMonkey (see below)
- Cardstock Paper
- Valentine's Day Suckers
- Scotch Tape
First I positioned the kids outside in good light against a brick wall. I liked the background and was going for quick and easy – so without doing a full on photo shoot, the brick wall would have to do.
I have the kids position their arms in various high angles. Shoot a few different shots and angles – that way one of them is BOUND to work!
I use Adobe Lightroom for all of my photo editing and bring it into Photoshop for text – but that is ME, and for a quick easy solution without having to buy fancy photo editing software – I would recommend just throwing your photo in PicMonkey. It's free and easy to use, plus has several fun fonts and features for editing your photographs and graphics.
I printed these off on cardstock paper.
I used an X-acto knife to cut a slit for the sucker to slide in. You can use scissors as well, just be careful not to cut yourself (OMG I just went all mom on you, via my blog – sorry!)
Slide the Valentine's Day suckers into the slit.
Tape the sucker on the back of the card, this will prevent it from flying out.
Because I am simple folk – we bypassed the envelopes in order to keep it easy, plus with the clunky Valentine's day suckers it would of been a pain.
That's it folks, and you have yourself a darling homemade FUN photo valentines day card that will be memorable and a hit with your kids!
Don't miss our collection of Valentine's Day posts!

The Darknet Mesh Project
The Darknet Mesh Project is a collaborative project between the Network Security Team at OUCS (OxCERT), and other security teams at UK universities to produce a collaborative means to detect and report on traffic hitting a collection of darknets
For many years darknet setups have been a simple, effective and reliable way to detect hosts scanning ones address space. Selecting a small amount of address space within your own netblock was frequently sufficient to detect hosts within your network scanning the rest of your address space. The vast majority of systematic scanners began by scanning address space close to the IP address the infected host had been assigned.
More recently, one malware trend has been a shift away from systematic (and high volume) scanning of local address space towards slower, and more random scanning. This is far harder to spot, and is less likely to be detected on a single darknet (it will take a long time before the darknet IP happens to be picked by the malware).
One obvious way to mitigate this issue would be to use much larger address ranges for the darknet, and to use a non-contiguous address range. This is however not without problems, not least the scarcity of IPv4 address space, and the fact that an individual organisation is unlikely to have a large number of disjoint ranges that they can use. The darknet mesh project aims to address these issues by multiple organisations (in our case across the JANET community) collaborating to provide the visibility benefits of a large and disjoint darknet without making an unreasonable demand on either Public IPv4 address space, and without requiring large amounts of ongoing maintenance work by the participants
The Process
Participants within a darknet mesh must register, their address space in CIDR notation, and an alert email address. This data is then fetched by each participant within the mesh to determine what addresses should be monitored by the darknet code. The darknet mesh registration process does not require the set of darknets to be collected this is advantageous as this could be data that would be of benefit to malware authors in the event they became aware of it.
The darknet software is run on a system with the ability to see traffic flowing to the darknet address space. This could be via one or more of the following:
- A fibre tap on a network to which the darknet is routed
- A span port on a network to which the darknet is routed
- An ethernet port on a host which is designated as the default route for the darknets (recommended)
Once installed and configured, the script monitors for traffic from participating organisations, collects flows flowing to the darknet and emails the appropriate administrator for the network.
The darknet monitor is written in perl, and depends on argus 3.0, it should run on any Unix alike system, but has been tested mainly on Debian Linux, Centos and SuSE. Packages for Debian, Centos/RHEL, and SuSE are available.
From Source
Download the latest version of the project code, extract the tar file into a directory, and run
make install. Edit /etc/darknet/mesh.cfg and /etc/darknet/addres_url to configure.
From A Package
Add the following line to /etc/apt/sources.list:
deb http://projects.oucs.ox.ac.uk/darknet/debian debian main
Use your favourite apt front end to install the
darknet-meshpackage, edit /etc/darknet/mesh.cfg and /etc/darknet/address_url. You can download the package signing key, and it can be imported with:

Setting up your own mesh
At present, the darknet mesh we are running is targetted at Academic institutions within the UK. If you are from elsewhere, you may wish to run your own mesh to collect data. The process for doing so is very simple:
- Configure a webserver to respond via https, and to accept certificate based authentication
- Either: Configure an appropriate CA to sign certificates for users of the mesh, or set up password based authentication
- Publish a list of address space in the form:
192.168.0.1/22,firstname.lastname@example.com 172.18.0.0/16,email@example.com
- Install the darknet mesh code onto your systems
- configure the URL, by editing /etc/darknet/update-address
- generate a certificate for the host and place it in /etc/darknet/crt, or put the username and password in /etc/darknet/pass

Whether it is for personal or business use these are normally printed for a specific audience and are perfect when personalised for each recipient making them feel more encouraged to attend the event. However they are still expected to be extremely high quality so that there is a feeling of 'no expense spared' when in fact the opposite cannot be more true!

I am keeping this short and sweet today as I'm busily cooking up a storm in Australia, with lots of nourishing foods to help my step-dad recover from heart surgery (a tasty granola and quinoa porridge post will make it's way into your repertoire soon!)
It's actually hard to write a post about my new favorite summer dish, considering that it's negative 6 degrees celsius here, but up until five days ago it was a regular feature in my lunch menu. I love zucchini noodles (zoodles) in any form or fashion, and I have my sister-in-law to thank for this most recent — and simple — iteration. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I do!
Why you need this:
I am happy to say that whole-grains have a welcome place in my diet, and that does include the occasional pasta dish, but more often than not I lean towards light, vegetable based dishes when the weather is warm. By choosing to replace your pasta with garlic zoodles, you're lightening your carb and calorie load and getting a hefty dose of green goodness!
Zucchini is a good source of Vitamin C, a water soluble antioxidant that protects your cells from free radicals. Vitamin C helps your body metabolize cholesterol and keeps your tissue strong.
Zucchini is also rich in the minerals potassium and manganese. Potassium is a heart friendly electrolyte that can help to lower blood pressure by countering the effects of sodium. Manganese protects your tissues from free radicals and promotes healthy bone tissue development; stronger tissues and collagen production mean stronger bones and smoother, firmer skin. Manganese can also help to metabolize fats and carbohydrates, as well as promote the proper functioning of the thyroid gland and sex hormones (excellent news if you are worried about feeling "too tired" on your honeymoon!)
Why you want this:
As zucchini is a water-based vegetable it is very low in calories, only 21 calories per cup. This means that you can eat like a king when zucchini is on the table!
How to get your fiance on board:
Well, it's not salad so that's a good start… I dished this up with a hearty bolognese and that got the Groom'd tick of approval. If you need one more selling point, tell him that zucchini is usually on the menu for bodybuilders in the cutting phase — aka how to make that six-pack pop.
If you want to make this meal a little heartier add grilled shrimp or fresh ricotta.
Garlic Zoodles
- 2 Medium Zucchini (washed)
- 1 clove Garlic (finely sliced)
- 1 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)
- Small handful Basil Leaves (finely sliced)
- pinch Salt & Pepper
- 1 teaspoon Red Pepper Flakes / Chilli Flakes (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Parmesan Cheese or Nutritional Yeast (optional)
If you don't have a spiralizer you can use a vegetable peeler and shave ribbons of zucchini fettuccine.
- Make zucchini noodles using a spiralizer, following equipment instructions.
- Toss zucchini noodles with remaining ingredients.
- Allow to stand for 5 minutes, to absorb flavors before serving
Now I'd Love To Hear From You!
What's your favorite noodle? Wheat, GF, vege or kelp? Let me know in the comments below.
With Spiral Love,
Jennifer Dene xox

In February 2001, a Brown University graduate with the improbably suave name Lockhart Steele took up occupancy in a one-bedroom third-floor walk-up apartment on Rivington Street, near the intersection with Ludlow. The Lower East Side could still claim, just barely, to be a marginal neighborhood. Storefront synagogues and housing projects were still more typical than bars with ostentatiously unmarked doors. The neighborhood was a good fit for Lockhart Steele: they were both, as they say, in transition.
At the time, Steele's most glorious accomplishment was five years in the past. As a college senior, he co-wrote and self-published a compendium about the band Phish that soon became a bible for the band's international tribe of followers. But by 2001, he had left a job with an electronics trade magazine and then presided over the failure of an Internet start-up. Steele was a native of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Mass., where, he says, "they cared more about where you went to boarding school than where you went to college." But Steele (St. Paul's School, Class of 1992) was a city boy now, and when he came home to the Lower East Side he was intrigued by what he saw. New people were moving into the neighborhood — younger people, interesting people. New restaurants and bars followed. Boutiques, too. Music clubs. Lots of life.
Over the next year, he began posting to his Web site photographs of the neighborhood, as well as short news items about local goings-on. Soon, Lockhartsteele.com was an eccentric guide to a certain New York, reflecting the author's interests and the era in which he wrote. In October 2003 he posted about, among other things, the disgraced author James Frey, Schiller's Liquor Bar and Friendster. And about real estate — Lachlan Murdoch's purchase of 11 Spring Street, Moby's rumored move to Essex and Canal. By early 2004, the site was getting about 3,000 page-views a day, largely on the strength of his wide-ranging real estate posts, which covered apartments, condos, restaurant openings and closings — anything a New Yorker might do with square footage, a lease and a dream.
In May 2004, Steele corralled his real estate posts onto a new site he called Curbed.com. The next year, Steele broke restaurants away to form Eater.com, a site he founded with Ben Leventhal, who now works for NBC; in 2007, shopping news moved to Racked.com. Since then, Curbed has also expanded to the Hamptons, Los Angeles and San Francisco; Racked is in Los Angeles as well as New York; Eater is in five cities, including Miami and Portland, Ore.; and a blog for travelers, Gridskipper, has joined the empire. But Steele's flagship remains New York Curbed, which, with its mix of original reporting, smart packaging of links and tips from readers, has become a prime purveyor of New York real estate porn: closing prices, zoning scuttlebutt, developers' delays, digital pictures taken at open houses.
Amazingly, the audience for Curbed NY has grown steadily, even through the real estate downturn. At first, Steele figured that because Curbed was the quintessential read for good times, its finances would suffer in a recession. He laid off three people in New York, several more nationwide (about 10 to 20 percent of payroll, Steele estimates). But for Curbed the hard times never came. The New York site had 2.6 million unique visitors in 2009, its most ever, about 400,000 more than in 2008; Steele says that advertising revenue went up even faster, by 30 percent last year (Curbed won't release dollar amounts), and that the business started making a profit in the second half of 2009. Steele, who is now 36, explains the counterintuitive growth two ways. First, the young business simply kept growing up, getting better at selling ads, for example. Second, real estate companies "that were buying full-page ads in Vanity Fair" began making smaller, focused buys, and that was very good for sites like Curbed.
Both explanations make sense, but the rosy numbers also seem to validate Steele's original insight: that people are creatures of the neighborhood. Curbed, Eater and Racked are all broken down by borough — Manhattan, Brooklyn and Queens only — with each borough searchable by neighborhood: NoLIta, SoHo and NoHo/Central Village may all be traversable in one 10-minute perambulation, but in Steele's world, each is its own precinct, with its own heroic architects, villainous developers, quixotic preservationists and celebrity real estate agents.
Steele says that with the crash, Curbed's editorial tone became less cheeky and more sensitive to people's pain. That may be so, but the site still carries, in an obvious way, the DNA of the gossip site Gawker. Steele was the editorial director of Gawker Media, which also includes gossip sites like Deadspin, Gizmodo and Jezebel, from 2005 to 2007. The Gawker voice — which Steele helped hone — is snarky and knowing, but above all, it is episodic. In the Gawker world, every item is potentially part of a longer drama, a narrative to unfold in time (with links to old Gawker posts). At Curbed, the dramatis personae aren't adulterous actors and politicians but buildings, whose fortunes and misfortunes are chronicled in order to help the discerning buyer and to provide schadenfreude to the salivating reader.
To take one example, the Palazzo Grey, a tenement redeveloped for five condominium units on Grand Street, has been the subject of seven posts in the last 18 months. The first post, in September 2008, mocked the building's Italianate name and inflated price tag. Subsequent posts mocked the owners' inability to find any buyers and the eventual leasing of ground-floor space to a Subway sandwich shop. The last post, from July 23, is a classic of Curbed sass, mocking several other Manhattan properties to boot: "The city's finest new luxury residential buildings have a long and proud history of rewarding buyers with quick and easy dining options as close as possible to the comfort of their new homes. On 23rd Street, Gramercy Starck brought in the Golden Arches, leading to the 'McStarck' nickname. . . . In Harlem's record-setting 111 Central Park North, the more health-conscious Subway took space. Continuing that trend, and confirming a tipster's report, BelDel beacon Palazzo Grey has unveiled its new tenant. Eat fresh, Palazzo Grey, but know that Palazzo Chupi would never sink to such depths."
Curbed's open derision can certainly infuriate the city's developers and brokers. But none of them will say an unkind word about Steele. In part that's surely because he wields a certain amount of power: after what you just read, would you buy a unit in Palazzo Grey? But it's also because Curbed appeals to so many audiences: real-estate daydreamers; neighborhood residents who mourn the loss of local news in other venues; and industry professionals for whom Curbed is essential reading and, for top brokerages like Corcoran, Stribling and Prudential Douglas Elliman, an advertising venue. Above all, Curbed has become a buyer's tip sheet. Along with blogs like Brownstoner.com (based in Brooklyn), StreetEasy.com (heavier on the sales figures and lighter on the gossip) and BrickUnderground.com, Steele's site is a first stop for New Yorkers ready to move.
Curbed, like Gawker, can be moralizing, even censorious. Just ask architects like Robert M. Scarano Jr. and Karl Fischer, perennial Curbed villains. But that's surely one reason that so many in the real estate community respect Steele. They see in him someone who thinks deeply about the character of neighborhoods. They notice that Curbed reserves its harshest criticism for those who flout zoning laws or — worse — do uncreative work. They recognize, above all, that at a time when the real estate market is as soft as a two-minute egg, Lockhart Steele keeps the faith.
Steele's implicit optimism — that real estate, even when it deserves to be mocked, is always worth the attention — makes him infectious. The first person I asked about Steele was Rachel Sklar, the former Huffington Post media writer, known for not suffering fools and for uncovering a lot of them. I expected a cool appraisal, some choice words putting Steele in context and taking the measure of the man. Here, in slightly condensed version, is what she said:
"The first time I met him, I responded the way a lot of people respond, which is, 'You're Lockhart Steele!' And going on and on about how his name sounded like a James Bond character — how intimidating is that! Lockhart Steele with babes on each arm! Lockhart Steele will engage in a death battle in a back alley and emerge with a martini. Lock has been everywhere. . . . I have been to the Hamptons with Lock. Only once, but that counts. It's the only way to go to the Hamptons. . . . It is de rigueur for Lock to show up at various Manhattan A-list parties. He is that guy now. But he doesn't stray far from his intellectual, classically geeky roots, no matter how fabulously collared his flowered shirts are. . . . He's not just a real estate nerd. He is a fully formed New York renaissance man for the Internet era."
But Sklar insisted that while she had been to the Hamptons with Lock, and adored Lock, she wasn't in his inner circle. For that point of view, I had to talk to Brooke Hammerling, who founded Brew Media Relations, a hip public relations firm in New York. She was similarly effusive. "He knows things are going to happen before they happen," she told me. "He explained blogging to me before blogging was a known thing. Same with Twitter. Same with Foursquare. All mainstream now, naturally. He's my guide through the Internet world. My Yoda is Lockhart."
When asked about Steele, Dottie Herman, the head of Prudential Douglas Elliman Real Estate, the grand white-shoe firm, was less starry-eyed but in her way no less complimentary. She's more famous, and certainly more feared, than Steele, so she didn't sound overawed by him. But she sees in him a fellow entrepreneur and a useful ally — she often feeds him tips about her new listings. Herman once invited Steele to address her senior managers. The way Steele tells it, she interrupted him at one point to announce to her employees that they had better pay attention to what he was saying. The Internet was the future of real estate, and Lockhart Steele was the Internet. Herman confirms the story: "I said, 'Listen, the way you do it is over, and you better get with it.' "
What she meant is that thanks to people like Steele, the broker's job has changed. "It's like if you get sick now, a lot of people will go to WebMD first," Herman says — and Curbed is WebMD for real estate, the site where the novice goes to get up to speed. "Your consumer is more informed, but not necessarily better informed." The broker's job is no longer to tell people what a house is worth, or what nearby properties have sold for — everybody knows that now. Instead, a broker is more useful calming down a buyer agitated by a proliferation of Web gossip. The broker is less salesman, more therapist, or oracle. And by professional obligation, a daily reader of real estate blogs.
The most sober assessment I heard of Steele came from the man himself. We spoke several times on the phone, then finally met for dinner at Momofuku Ssam Bar, the East Village restaurant owned by David Chang, who is a friend of Steele's. I recognized Steele. We debated against each other in regional competitions in high school, 20 years ago. And here, sitting across the table from me, was the same guy, practically unchanged, with the shaggy bowl cut and the soft voice. I was hoping to see one of the famous flowered shirts that Rachel Sklar had mentioned, but tonight his sweater and button-down could have come from the back of his prep-school closet. He didn't seem cool, which is probably why his cool friends think he's so cool. He wouldn't talk about his romantic life, but in other ways he was earnest and forthcoming. He volunteered that his father drank himself to death three years ago. And he told me that in 1997, he killed a St. Paul's classmate, his best friend, John-Christophe Schlesinger.
"If you're going to do a story about me, you should know the story," Steele said. "I was driving early in the morning, and I fell asleep at the wheel, and we crashed and he died. It's something that's with me every day." I asked about how Schlesinger's parents treated him after that. "If at some point in my life," he said, "I am as good to people as they have been to me, that would be amazing."
After that, it was tough to ask Steele really pointed questions, but I tried. Curbed seems to waste little space on apartments worth less than half a million dollars, and Steele had already admitted, during one phone call, that Curbed didn't do much, or enough, to cover real estate in the normal person's price range. "I think it's a fair critique," he said. "I make this joke that blogs exist because people are bored at work — which is to say people with white-collar jobs and big screens to stare at. That's undeniable." But he was not willing to admit that that might be a bad mission. To him, it was virtuous. "If we're serving our audience, which is what any self-respecting publication should do, then undeniably we're serving a more upscale audience than any slice of New York." But it still might be morally ambiguous. "Part of the job of Curbed is to turn news into something wry and readable. But how do you do that with affordable housing? We try to cover that, but when we do, we end up as dry and self-important as those topics can be."
The fact that Curbed doesn't even cover the Bronx, for instance, suggests the limits of the Lockhart Steele vision, as well as the limits of what high-end advertisers want to support. At dinner, he tried, with some success, to have it both ways. "I am not," he said, "going to deny there is some general societal good in creating entertaining media. It's fun, and I don't think we need to pretend to a higher good than that to justify our existence." But, he added, "if I were going to try to pretend we're doing some great societal good, we're part of this overall trend toward transparency. This industry has been traditionally closed to consumers. . . . We create more of a balance of power between the industry and the people making the biggest purchase of their lives."
To create that balance of power, the information needs to be reliable, and Curbed has made strides in ensuring the accuracy of its reporting. "If you look back at what blogging was five years ago," Steele said, "the rules have transitioned from being a little bit Wild West, anything goes to drawing closer to fundamental rules in play for print publications." He pointed to a story Curbed ran on Jan. 21 about a building at 211 Elizabeth Street. "It's really fancy, a condo building, prices high, has a name-brand interior designer, name-brand real estate brokerage is selling it. Every reason to believe it's a quality project. But we get an e-mail from a reader who has purchased in the building and is very, very unhappy with the quality of work in this place. And she sent us basically a rant — water leak, flood." In the old days, Steele says, he might have just posted the rant.
But in this case, Steele said, his writer Joey Arak wrote to the woman. "He writes back to her, like, 'O.K., if we're going to do this story, like, do you have some photos or other ways to back up your claims?' Sure enough, she sends on a whole bunch of photos. Then we go to the developers, like, 'Hey we got this complaint from a reader, do you want to respond?' And the final post includes the woman's claims, photos and a post from the developer. That is pretty standard journalism."
Well, more or less — Arak didn't ask to see the condo in question or track down other owners in the building. But in the Curbediverse, as the site modestly calls the world whose story it tells, every new building, every architectural misstep, every bit of shoddy construction, every scrumptious Sunday open house and every regrettable ground-floor Subway has its moment on the screen, for all eyes to see. So that neighbors can whisper, so that buyers can reconsider the neighborhood.
Steele still lives in the same Rivington Street apartment whose sidewalk life inspired him to start blogging. "I am probably about ready to buy a place and have been too busy working to get around to it," he said. He's "probably overdue for a move." It's "probably ridiculous" that he has stayed in one place. Then again, it seems doubtful that he's in a hurry to leave. "I like where I live," he said, as if a confession has been forced from him. "I love my neighborhood."
And if he were to move, if he were to raise the profile of some new building with his very chic, very flower-shirted presence, then tell me: who would tip off Curbed?

Russian Circles play explosive set in Detroit featuring new album 'Guidance'
By Haintso Rakouth, Rock At Night Detroit Correspondent
Venue: El Club, Detroit–September 25, 2016
Last time I saw Russian Circles was last year when they played at the Blind Pig in Ann Arbor in October. Seeing an instrumental band feels a bit different than a band with vocals–there's no sing-along, but just lots of movement, smiles, and feeling the music.
Russian Circle is a trio band from Illinois and are known for their post-metal instrumental sound. I can't recall how i got into Russian Circles, but I do remember the first time I heard their music, right away I was hooked. I've always been a bigger fan of instrumental vs. with music with vocals. I get lost faster when listening to instrumental music.
Russian Circle is on the road supporting their new album that came out in August called Guidance, the first album in three years since Memorial. I had the chance to listen to Guidance, and I have to say that it's different from the other albums, but also it's quite interesting. Geneva will always be my favorite album from Russian Circles, but this one comes in a heavy second. It is still very heavy and dark, but something about their sound shows that they have opened a new chapter in their music.
Russian Circles opened up their set with "Asa" and "Vorel", which are featured in Guidance. If you had the chance to listen to the album, these two songs are the first two songs on the album. They fit perfectly together as "Asa" is a quiet, mellow song, whereas "Vorel" is an explosive and heavy song. Other song highlights during the evening were "Youngblood" from the album Station (it definitely was a fave from the audience's reaction), "1777" from the album Memorial and much more.
One of the reasons seeing Russian Circles is a must is bassist, Brian Cook uses a Moog Taurus bass pedal synthesizer which right away grabs the audience attention. There are few musicians that use this effect pedal.
Another thing is the band brings their own back lighting rig, which also helps intensify the show. Just like the show from last year, it's very dark, but I find their lighting helps define who Russian Circle is. The lighting works so well with their type of music.
If you are into Pelican, or heavy instrumental metal/rock music, I highly recommend to see Russian Circles live. You will definitely get lost into the music.

I grew loving music since I was a baby and fell in love with concert photography when I moved for college. I didn't take it seriously till I attended my first West Coast music festival.I enjoy being able to do two things together--listening to music and taking photos of some of my favorite musicians. I enjoy a variety of music, but I love shooting metal shows the most. Favorite band of all time?Either Black Sabbath or A Tribe Called Quest

Blood Transfusions in Cats
This life-saving procedure is becoming increasingly more common, but it needs to follow a careful protocol. Here's how the process works.
Most people have some familiarity with the concept of a blood transfusion, perhaps by donating blood to the local Red Cross, or possibly as a recipient during a hospital stay. Thankfully, most cat owners have very little experience with transfusions when it comes to their pets.

It is arty and poetic and not an easy style to create by all means.
Here is the gentle balance of old frames and a pairing of striking upholstered chairs. Floral theme is carried through all elements in this room. The soft tapestry of the settee on the right side is married effortlessly with a side table displaying fresh floral bouquets in odd quaint bottles. The floor colour on both pictures supports the gentle flow of colours carried throughout each piece.

Last Sunday, I brought my two cousins, Zhao Qiang and Zhao Cheng, out for a lunch treat with grandma at Sakae Sushi. It was the little one's (zhao qiang) birthday the day before and as I missed it, I felt that he deserved a nice treat of Japanese food as a make up to him.
I called quite a few items like the Salmon Mango Ebi Tempura Sushi, Foie Gras from the Teppanyaki section, and a three bento sets to go around.
For Zhao Qiang, I asked him to look at the kid's menu and decide what he would like to eat. Naturally, he chose the most vibrant colour (red) and the fire engine promptly came along with cutely designed sushi plus fries and chicken. I thought he would be able to finish it but never did I realise that he had already helped himself (and he is only 4) to a pink plate of tamgo with eel nigiri sushi. Exquisite taste I must say. He ate the sushi finish before I could even take a photo…
Zhao Cheng had the Black Pepper Beef and Tempura Bento. I had a Sakae Gozen that included Japanese curry, chicken cutlet, sashimi moriwase, terriyaki gindara and the standard of rice and miso soup. Auntie Eng on the other hand had the Paper Steamboat of Kimchi Beef. Very nice with full robust flavours.
Japanese food always look good, maybe its the cute petite designs most of the dishes come in. But looking at them always whet my appetite. How about you? Hungry?

This week on Twinning, everyone acknowledged that they're onto Cory's game. And Li and Je talked about how much they missed each other.
Tre and Torian decided to switch identities. This led to some making out between Torian (masquerading as Tre) and Shawn.
Before the challenge, the host announced that Tre and Torian had switched houses. She said they can't just let it go. In retaliation, the show had them switch houses. Torian acknowledged that this puts a target on his back.
The twins had to sort through keys to unlock blocks. They have to pull the rope of keys through the wall to unlock the blocks. When finished, they had to lock in to win.
The winners were:
Claire / Shawn
Tre / Torian
Ji / Le
Li and Je were thrilled to see each other, since they'd been apart for the whole competition.
Dylan suggested that he and his brother Taylor go into the twin off so they can learn about it against weak competitors. Nobody thought that was a good idea.
AnnaMarie cried because the pressure was getting to her.
In the voting booth, Li and Je made it clear that they'd vote in Kamila and Kristina.
It turns out that Dylan and Taylor were up against Kamila and Kristina. Kamila seemed genuinely surprised. She became very combative with Le. Kristina panicked on the other side of the door, but producers wouldn't let her in. Then Li and Je ended up in the same house, and a fight broke out. Then the episode ended. It ended! Cliffhanger! Not cool, show, not cool!
We'll be tuned in next week, for sure.

James Edwards began coursework toward a degree in rehabilitation counseling at UALR in August 2007.
Upon graduation in August 2010, he moved to New York City with his spouse. Almost immediately, Edwards found a job with Greenhope Services for Women, which seeks to rehabilitate women with substance abuse and mental health issues.
After completing the requirements for his degree, Edwards took and passed the exam to become a Certified Rehabilitation Counselor, thanks to what he refers to as "great teaching' on the part of his UALR professors.
"The degree program made me focus and work independently while also giving me the support I needed when I had questions or challenges with the curriculum," said Edwards.
Edwards was promoted to Director of Career and Educational Services, a senior management position, in the first year of his employment.
He is responsible for an area that helps women prepare for job interviews and other vital skills. Even though Edwards is a Caucasian working in the heavily Latino and African-American borough of East Harlem, his cross-cultural courses at UALR prepared him with specific skills to bridge the gap.
"What it did was show us that it is really not so much about culture, but about being a human and how we can help one another," he said.
The most challenging aspect of his job is the work the agency does with women whose drug and alcohol addiction is fueled by their harsh socio-economic backgrounds, so that strides in personal improvement become seemingly insurmountable.
"These women come from such poor living conditions they couldn't even think about getting an education. They were too busy thinking about getting a roof over their head or not getting abused," Edwards said.
"On the other hand, they are so resilient. And when they find their voice and really start to blossom, it is just amazing to know you've been part of that process," he added.
"Thanks UALR for the great education that prepared me to be a leader in my career field," he said.
