The Paternity Leave Debate Rages On
In the wake of Liza Mundy's call for national paid paternity leave, people are still struggling with the concept – and not just in the US.
Last month, Liza Mundy sat down at the 6th and I Street Synagogue with The Atlantic's Ta-Nehisi Coates to discuss her article "The Daddy Track," an impassioned look at the state of paternity leave in America. Mundy, Director of Work and Family at the New America Foundation, argued that paternity leave empowers working mothers by involving men in parenting at a crucial moment when habits are formed -- in her words, those "early sleep-deprived weeks of diaper changes and midnight feedings, during which couples fall into patterns that turn out to be surprisingly permanent."
Now it seems that the United Kingdom is tackling the issue as well. In arecent report from the BBC, more than a fifth of male survey respondents reported a desire for more time at home with their newborn children. More than a third reported a workplace completely lacking paid parental leave. Last month, the issue came to a head when UK energy secretary Ed Davey came under major national criticism for taking paternity leave the night before a serious storm hit the country.
Forget women - perhaps, parents just can't have it all?

This 15-minute video covers a lot of ground when it comes to posing for photography. Whether you're photographing couples, newborns, or headshots, this video is sure to have information that you'll find useful. Topics range from basic composition (like the rule of thirds), to focal plane, to lenses for portrait photography.
By the way, Ms. Kelleher is correct in saying that the 85mm lens is better than the 50mm for portraits, but remember that while an 85mm lens is far superior to a 50mm lens on a full-sensor camera body, the results are different when you are working with crop-sensor camera bodies. For instance, a 50mm lens on the Canon 7D is almost equivalent to an 85mm lens. (Actually, just past the 53mm mark is the 85mm equivalent on camera bodies with a 1.6 crop factor)

Release No. 34-47649 / April 8, 2003
File No. S7-12-01
Order Extending Temporary Exemption of Banks, Savings Associations, and Savings Banks from the Definition of "Broker" under Section 3(a)(4) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934; Notice of Intent to Amend Rules
I. Background
The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act ("GLBA") repealed the blanket exception of banks from the definitions of "broker" and "dealer" under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Exchange Act")1 and replaced this full exception with functional exceptions incorporated in amended definitions of "broker" and "dealer." Under the statute, banks that engage in securities activities either must conduct those activities through a registered broker-dealer or assure that their securities activities fit within the terms of a functional exception to the amended definitions of "broker" and "dealer."
Under the GLBA, the amended definitions of "broker" and "dealer" were to become effective May 12, 2001. On May 11, 2001, the Securities and Exchange Commission ("Commission") issued interim final rules ("Rules") to define certain terms used in, and grant additional exemptions from, the amended definitions of "broker" and "dealer."2 In order to give banks time to ensure that their securities transactions conform to the requirements of the GLBA, the Rules included a temporary exemption that effectively extended the general bank exception from broker-dealer registration.3 To further accommodate the industry's continuing compliance concerns, the Commission delayed the effective date of the bank "broker" and "dealer" rules through a series of orders that ultimately extended the temporary exemption from the definition of "broker" to May 12, 2003 and from the definition of "dealer" to February 10, 2003.4
On February 13, 2003, the Commission adopted amendments to certain parts of the Rules that define terms used in the dealer exceptions, as well as certain dealer exemptions ("Dealer Release").5 The Commission also issued a separate Order temporarily exempting banks, savings associations, and savings banks from the definition of the term "dealer" until September 30, 2003, thus giving them additional time to conform their dealer activities to the definition of "dealer" as supplemented by the definitions and exemptions adopted by the Commission in the Dealer Release.6 In the second stage of this rulemaking process, the Commission will focus on amending certain terms used in the definition of "broker," as well as providing any necessary exemptions.
II. Extension of Temporary Exemption from Definitions of "Broker"
In light of the on-going dialogue between the Commission and industry participants, the Commission recognizes that some of the Rules in their current form will need to be amended. As such, banks could be faced with the challenge of complying with the new statutory scheme based on the guidance (and exemptions) provided under the current Rules only to have that guidance (and exemptions) change when the Rules are amended.
In an effort to find workable solutions to the issues presented, the Commission is carefully considering industry comments to determine what changes should be made to the Rules. Additional time is needed to propose those changes, analyze comments, and adopt final rules.
For these reasons, the Commission finds that extending the temporary exemption of banks, savings associations, and savings banks from the definition of "broker" is necessary and appropriate in the public interest, and is consistent with the protection of investors. The Commission believes that extending the exemption from the definition of "broker" until November 12, 2004 will prevent banks from unnecessarily incurring costs to comply with the statutory scheme based on the current Rules rather than the Rules when amended and will give the Commission time to fully consider comments received on the Rules and amend the Rules as necessary.
III. Notice of Intent to Amend Rules
The Commission expects to amend the Rules and further extend the temporary exemption from the definition of "broker," as appropriate, so that banks will have a sufficient transition period to bring their operations into compliance with the new statutory scheme based on the guidance (and exemptions) provided in the amended Rules.7 We note that comments received to date have indicated that banks may need as much as a year to develop compliance systems to adapt to the GLBA in light of amended Rules.8 The Commission does not expect banks to develop compliance systems for the provisions of the GLBA discussed in the Rules until the Commission has amended the Rules. The Commission believes that banks should continue to focus on the transition to full implementation of functional regulation, including seeking compliance advice regarding issues under the GLBA and exploring forming relationships with broker-dealers if needed.
IV. Conclusion
Accordingly, pursuant to Section 36 of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. 78mm],
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that banks, savings associations, and savings banks are exempt from the definition of the term "broker" under the Exchange Act until November 12, 2004.
By the Commission.

"Passing/Posing: Kehinde Wileys Painting"
At the
"Go," 2003
Oil on canvas mounted on five panels.
The Trash Collector
by Nicholas Powers
We are a thrown away people. Stolen centuries ago by the West, our ancestors built nation after nation, until they were no longer needed and thrown away. They wondered through the world they created finding no home. They picked up left over meat and made it a meal. They picked out barren lands and made communities. They picked up horns and drums from dead Civil War soldiers and made Jazz.
Black artists have inherited this legacy of recycling. We can see it continued in the work of Kehinde Wiley, a 27 year old painter, born and raised in South Central L.A. and whose work has received acclaim as a fusion of Hip-Hop and Classical European art. In a B.E.T interview Wiley said, "I remember being appalled that we had to go through the garbage of wealthy neighbors to pick out a shirt." Years later, he would again find what he needed in the trash. While walking in
Wiley is a new force in the art world. The 27 year-old Yale Graduate earned attention for his recent Passing/Posing series at the
Wiley frames young Black men within a European tradition of Renaissance portraiture. The pleasure of his work is the pleasure of the slave narrative. It offers the viewer a spectacle of redemption, of embracing Black men who have been sanitized by saintliness. It is art that shares with the slave narrative the lack of risk for the reader or viewer because the moral ambiguity of the Black protagonist has been cleansed. Wiley said his art school professors expected him to make the great Negro statement. Even now, his closet is filled with paintings of ironic watermelons in the style of Magritte and de Chirico; it is his personal gallery of shame, of cliché's he once felt compelled to paint. In a NY Times Magazine interview he said, "They remind me of a point in my life that I felt absolutely desperate and lost and powerless. I don't want to romanticize that too much, but it's interesting to look at."
Yet the direction he has chosen still moves along the axis of race, except now ironic images of watermelons are replaced by iconic images of Black men floating in a White gaze. The Passing/Posing} series intends to ask the viewer why they are troubled by Black men being framed by European aesthetics, the tension being the same that elevated the Civil Rights Movement into the great moral event in our nation's history. Why do we feel awkward at seeing Black bodies integrating White space? Except here that space is not diners or water-fountains or bathrooms but the history of European art.
Even though Wiley says he refused to make the great Negro Statement, his fame and fortune rides on the art world's need for one. The art world reflects the dreams and fears of liberal society in the
Black men are made safe with beauty. Although Wiley says he intends the female names and flowery patterns to critique the code of masculinity, he doesn't show how or why that code became necessary. We have art whose narrative tension is based on the fusion of high and low, yet the men are strangely unscarred, as if the evidence of oppression must be erased, which is part of the process of integration. In that, integration does not destroy power it seeks to join it. Which is why Wiley's art touches a nerve, he completes the mission of the Civil Rights Movement by not just merging with power in the present but by reaching back and becoming part of its past.
When Denzel Washington and Russell Simons buy his paintings, they are buying images of inheritance. The Talented Tenth is lining up to buy his portraits because Wiley offers them a dream of total integration, of the ghetto youth they once were or feel alienated from or responsible for now stand haloed by European aesthetics of power.
The anonymity of the Black men allows for projection. It helps the Black art collector to see the stereo-types they are trapped in as symbols of divinity and freedom and innocence. It allows the White art collector to purchase a new token of their liberalism. Such anonymity allows the figures to stand in for Wiley, for his ambition to pose in the same halls of power as the masters he criticizes. What troubles me, is not that Black men are seen in classical European frames but that the frames themselves are not challenged. The man alone, floating in the sky, untouched by age or doubt, untouched by the laws of nature or society is a replica of class hierarchy itself, of the one elevated above the many. The grandiose gestures, limbs positioned like antennae to receive divine signals, which means the human world is mute and silenced.
Wiley transforms thugs into saints but it does not achieve his goal of troubling the art world audience. In fact in he comforts them because whether Black men are seen in mug shots or Renaissance frames, whether they are the dark embodiment of sin or the sacred victims of a racist society, they are in either case, still not human. The tragedy of racism is the same as the tragedy of religion in that both allow their audiences to objectify the other.
In these paintings, Black men are missing the one thing that could free us from our need to redeem them. They are missing their humanity. If they had it, we could see it and ask how we can free ourselves from our store-bought self worth, how we can let go of our fear and loathing of them and instead, redeem ourselves. In Wiley's work brothers are transferred from one prism to another and in the end from one prison to another. Some see in his work an edgy fusion of high and low. I see Black men jailed in the sky, floating among gold sperm, Rococo design and religious patterns. They float out of reach of those of us who live with them on earth, those of us who love them not as thugs or saints but as men who mirror us because their confusion and fear and joy reminds us of our own.

ResMed S9 AutoSet for her is discontinued and replaced by ResMed AirSense 10 Auto for her with HumidAir .
Top Quality Auto CPAP Machine
The Pink S9 Auto CPAP for Her with H5i Heated Humidifier by ResMed is an advanced therapy device equipped with innovative technology and guarantees high quality results. Not only does the S9 for Her possess a slick, highly attractive outward appearance, it's also stocked with impressive internal features which will appeal to any consumer. Though the Resmed S9 for Her is marketed toward female patients due to its exterior, the S9 has the ability to provide exceptional results for both male and female patients alike.
AutoSet Algorithm
The S9 for Her is equipped with a special AutoSet algorithm which allows it to deliver pressure levels which suit your unique needs. The AutoSet algorithm monitors your particular breathing behavior and then makes adjustments in order to maximize your therapy experience. The S9 for Her is so advanced it can differentiate between obstructive sleep apneas (OSA) and central sleep apneas (CSA) and can respond to each appropriately; this further contributes to more personalized, higher quality therapy.
Easy-Breathe EPR
Easy-Breathe expiratory pressure relief (EPR) technology is a means to optimize pressure levels during therapy and as a consequence improve your overall experience. Easy-Breathe EPR makes the entire work of breathing easier by reducing pressure on exhalation and then gradually adjusting pressure levels thereafter. Easy-Breathe will adapt to your natural breathing cycle and provide a personalized experience.
Advanced Humidification System
The S9 AutoSet CPAP machine provides advanced humidification with its attached H5i Heated Humidifier. The H5i is a top level humidification device capable of providing great results. The H5i will help prevent the negative consequences which can occasionally accompany sleep apnea therapy: for instance, it will protect against nasal congestion, dryness, irritation and sore throat. The H5i for the S9 for Her is an adaptive device which will monitor the temperature and humidity of your specific surroundings and promote optimal humidity levels throughout your therapy experience.
Smart Start
This CPAP Resmed S9 AutoSet is remarkably easy to use and operate. The S9 AutoSet includes SmartStart and SmartStop technology: the S9 AutoSet will begin operating as soon as you take a breath, and then cease operating when you remove your mask. This technology promotes safety and power conservation.

UFO were a hard rock no-nonsense outfit from the seventies. Hard working, straight down the line, with an excellent sense of humour, notwithstanding occasional outbreaks of madness from their blond German lead guitarist. The design for Phenomenon is taken from their name and hopefully their sense of humour, but instead of a UFO craft itself this image is one step back, i.e. person taking a picture of a UFO craft, or rather one step further still, faking rather than taking a picture of an unidentified flying object. In effect what we have here is a real event involving an unreal unidentified object trying to be a real UFO later despite everyone knowing it to be untrue anyway. Confused? Well obviously the band were because they bought it.
The woman taking the photo has been caught in the act (of taking a photo in her world) and is irritated by our intrusion, turning round with an angry guilty face. The obliging husband in the background is not aware of our camera or her reaction, intent upon removing the hubcap from his car and hurling it up into the air where hopefully it will masquerade as a UFO. Helpful husband, in his cosy cardigan. Cosy couple in their cosy bungalow with manicured lawn. No one would expect them to fake a picture or perpetrate a fraud. No one would expect UFO to have a cover like this. Must have enjoyed the joke.

Who is Rubrik?
From their website, "Rubrik Cloud Data Management delivers automated backup, instant recovery, offsite replication, and data archival in a simple, scale-out platform built for hybrid cloud." In short, Rubrik protects your data. All of your data.
Rubrik describes themselves as handling backup and recovery, disaster recovery, archival and compliance, copy data management, search, and analytics. Call it "backup" if you like, although "backup" is clearly a lot more these days than making sure you have a copy of a file in case someone deletes it from the file server.
Modern backup is about making sure you can rewind your data back to a point in time, no matter where your data was stored, and, within some practical limit, no matter how much data you have to manage. This is what Rubrik does.
I've seen the platform in action a number of times over the years, and I identify the key value proposition as not only great capability, but also great ease of use. Rubrik has gone to a lot of trouble to design an interface that makes it easy to not only protect your data, but also find what you need to recover and restore it to a location of your choosing.
What did they announce?
On June 13, 2017, Rubrik announced major release 4.0, codenamed "Alta." Alta merits the major dot zero release designation because of the many brand new features included. We'll summarize them briefly here.
Rubrik is tightly integrated with Oracle RMAN, giving DBAs the ability to leverage Rubrik while using an interface they are comfortable with.
Microsoft Hyper-V is supported by Rubrik. For Hyper-V 2016, that support is via the native API, offering the full set of capabilities, including auto protect, failover cluster support, agentless backups, live mount, and instant recovery. For earlier Hyper-V versions, the support is via Connectors with a reduced feature set.
The Nutanix Acropolis AHV hypervisor is now supported by Rubrik with core Rubrik features, such as policy automation, global search, reporting, and auto-protection of new VMs.
Cloud Instantiation is a new Rubrik feature that allows backups done on-premises to be restored to Amazon Web Services. Rubrik handles all of the cloudy details, including sending data from a VMDK to an S3 bucket, provisioning the size instance you request, creating an AMI, and launching the EC2 instance. Cloud Instantiation is limited to VMware virtual machines and AWS today.
SQL Server live mounting is another addition to the Rubrik platform. This allows some or all of a database to be mounted by Rubrik, presented, and used for testing specific database tables or rows, performing database health checks, and running development processes against a copy of production data.
And finally, Rubrik 4.0 offers an archive to tape feature. While tape was never intended to be a core feature of Rubrik, to be a compliant product in the EMEA and APAC markets, Rubrik needed to offer tape. They've done this through a partnership with QStar, since Rubrik doesn't speak directly to tape libraries. Therefore, Rubrik speaks to QStar, which abstracts a variety of tape libraries away. QStar writes to tape using LTFS, and exposes tape data via CIFS shares.
There's even more in Rubrik's 4.0 Alta release, but these are the bits I chose to highlight here.
Do you need this product?
Every enterprise that is interested in running their business even when things go wrong needs a solution to preserve their data. The idea is to imagine where data lives, and what would happen to an organization if that data turned out to be unusable. For most organizations, the end result is very likely business impacting. Therefore, a data integrity system that provides a recovery path is crucial to ensure business continuity.
Rubrik and competing solutions provide a way to integrate backup and recovery technology with daily operations, making data integrity a normal part of your IT environment.
While there are perhaps a few environments out there where there's simply too much data to be effectively protected, that's not true for the vast majority of IT shops. In short, practically every organization with a meaningful amount of data to protect would benefit from a secondary storage platform like Rubrik.

Culinary Hot Shot
Chengdu is a food paradise where you'll never go hungry.
The uninitiated with a low tolerance for spiciness may order the yuan yang pot, one that comes with both mala and a non-spicy broth of your choice.
The bustling Chinese city of Chengdu is known for a great many things, among them giant pandas and charming teahouses, but there is no denying that the most famous of the lot is the city's obsession with the fiery hotpot.
A Taste of Spice
In most parts of Chengdu, the invigorating aroma of mala is constantly in the air. It comes as no surprise, seeing how there's practically a hotpot restaurant on every other road and in most shopping malls in the city. However, as much as Chengdu people love getting a spicy fix at any time of the day – it is common to see locals tucking into a hotpot meal at 2 a.m. – there is inherently much more depth to Chengdu's food culture than just Sichuan peppercorns and chillies.
After all, Chengdu was named as a UNESCO City of Gastronomy in 2010 – the first Asian city to receive this accolade. It is also where China's best cooking school is situated. The Sichuan Higher Institute of Cuisine (now a part of Sichuan Tourism University) attracts hordes of chefs and food journalists from around the world every year and imparts to them the invaluable mastery of Sichuan cooking, said to be the most complex of all Chinese cuisines. The institute counts the highly celebrated Peter Chang, a Chinese chef who owns a chain of restaurants in the United States, among its alumni members.
Shangri-La Hotel, Chengdu, centrally located on Binjiang East Road, makes for the perfect launch pad to explore the city and its gastronomic delights. Helmed by Executive Sous Chef Jason Wang, the hotel's Shang Palace is a great place to enjoy an authentic Cantonese or Sichuanese meal. Chef Wang, a Changzhou native, has nearly two decades of experience working at top hotels and was awarded the title of Chinese Cuisine Great Master in 2010.
The Grand Masters
On the topic of great chefs, two individuals in Chengdu have been garnering much praise and attention in the global food scene. The beauty of Sichuan cuisine lies not in inducing a tongue-numbing spiciness that will cause most foreigners to pant profusely while breaking into a sweat, but in the delicate balance of five key flavours – spicy, sweet, sour, bitter and salty – and no one else does it better than these two chefs.
At Yu's Family Kitchen, a cosy dining establishment set in a traditional lane house along Xia Tong Ren Road, guests are treated to Chef Yu Bo's peerless demonstration of Sichuan cuisine in its most elegant form. He takes great care to ensure that his creations are traditional, yet innovative, from the food preparation to the execution methods. His red bean bun is a dish that has been lauded for its creativity. Using a pair of scissors, Yu snips at the white bun till it resembles a hedgehog. Other signature dishes include a calligraphy brush with a tip made of pastry and minced pork, served with edible red ink.
His immaculate ability to fuse the different elements of Sichuanese cuisine into multi-textured masterpieces is heralded around the world and has even drawn world leaders like US Vice President Joe Biden to his restaurant. Guests have to pre-order their dishes when they call to make reservations, as the restaurant has no menu to speak of.
Over at Yu Zhi Lan restaurant on Changfa Street is Lan Guijun, a chef considered to be on par with Yu at the pinnacle of Chinese culinary arts. At Yu Zhi Lan, however, guests get to experience a different culinary approach, with Chef Lan leveraging flavours of foreign ingredients like Japanese marinades and olive oil to create dishes with subtle, yet resounding flavours. His tiny establishment only seats 18 guests, and like Yu's Family Kitchen, dining there is near impossible without a reservation.
For a less traditional dining experience, Yunmen Emerald Concept Restaurant takes guests on a culinary journey paved by molecular manipulation. The restaurant is decked in colourful, gaudy furniture. Velvet curtains with golden trims and huge chandeliers hang from a ceiling full of white feathers, all of which makes for a somewhat novel experience. Although Yunmen Emerald comes with the molecular gastronomy label, it does offer a variety of cuisines, such as Sichuan, Beijing and Hunan.
Pot of Gold
Such restaurants as Yunmen Emerald Concept are said to be a nod to the city's flourishing food culture and its new reputation as a gastronomy capital, but no trip to Chengdu would be complete without a hotpot meal. Huang Cheng Lao Ma is one of the most famous hotpot restaurants in Chengdu, a favourite of many personalities as it offers a refined dining experience both in terms of setting and food. US First Lady Michelle Obama is said to have dined here before.
The uninitiated with a low tolerance for spiciness may order the yuan yang pot, one that comes with both mala and a non-spicy broth of your choice. The mala, while spicy, is much more tolerable than that at the local eateries and the oil used in the broth is distinctively less viscous. This means that it easily slides off the ingredients that you cook, leaving behind more flavour and less spice.
A truly authentic local experience can be found at Bashu Dazhaimen Hot Pot, a lively restaurant chain bustling with activity even at midnight. Waiters are frantically rushing around taking orders, serving food and clearing tables, but service is surprisingly friendly and efficient. The prices here may be cheap, but the ingredients are clean, fresh and by no means of inferior quality. The must-order dish is the Surou, deep-fried pork fritters that can be eaten on its own or dipped into the fiery mala broth for an extra kick. Although the spiciness of the mala here is intense, even by local standards, there is still an intriguing depth of flavour.
If your stomach has had enough of the churning that inevitably accompanies a hearty mala hotpot meal, there are other variations which are easier on the palate. Yu Ling Shan Zhen on Ren Min South Road is a mushroom hotpot establishment popular with the locals. You get to choose from more than 30 different types of mushrooms to accompany a selection of hotpot broths, including chicken, pork, lamb and, of course, mala. The prices are easy on the wallet, although you would have to pay a premium for some of the rarer mushrooms.
With so many dining options for you to choose from in Chengdu, the problem is not so much about what to pick for the next meal, but whether you have enough time to savour all the delights this city has to offer. Always remember to pace yourself, because overeating is certainly going to be counterproductive in this gastronomic journey.
Top tips:
- Taxis may be really cheap but jump onto the Metro instead during rush hour as the roads get pretty congested.
- The soy/peanut beverage and the sesame oil and garlic dip at all hotpot restaurants help fight the fire in your mouth. Resist the urge to drink cold water.
- The food menus at local restaurants usually have no English translations and the waiters don't speak the language either, so it might be advisable to bring along a friend who speaks Mandarin.
- The best time to visit Chengdu is from March to June and from September to November, when there is low chance of rain.

"Resist the urge to drink cold water" ...well, that's so difficult for me, but also maybe the tip to enjoy HOT Sichuan cuisine!

This is the last of three "summery" buttons to help you scrap your warm summer memories. I love those huge sand sculpture events they have. Once in a while I will catch a picture of them and they are soooo cool! Just takes a different kind of artist I guess...like the ones that carve such fabulous things out of ice! Both of them do this knowing their beautiful projects will be entirely erased and gone forever in just a little while. I love to go back over mine and enjoy them over and over. Twould make me veeery sad if they disappeared within hours of making them!
"Come now, you who say, 'Tomorrow or today, we shall go to such and such city, and spend a year there and engage in business and make a profit.' Yet you do not know what your life will be like tomorrow. You are just a vapor that appears for a little while and then vanishes away. Instead, you ought to say, 'If the Lord wills, we shall live and also do this or that.' But as it is, you boast in your arrogance; all such boasting is evil. Therefore, to one who knows the right thing to do, and does not do it, to him it is sin." James 4:13-17
This gorgeous sand castle is from one of my favorite's, Bonnie Carter The Maltese Scrapper. She has something new every day and it's always fabulous! Thanks Bonnie! *hugs*

Sandy Hole Pass
I camped in a gorge downstream from here the previous night. I didn't exactly rush to get packed up in the morning as there was thick fog and I only had about 5 miles to walk to Vur Tor for my next camp. When I emerged from the gorge, I found I had left the fog behind. I had been camping in a temperature inversion. What a beautiful morning I had been missing! It was crisp, there is hoar frost on the grass and ice on the rocks in the river. I'm not at all moved by most of the myths surrounding the moor, much of that is perpetuated for the tourism industry, but the peace and solitude of Dartmoor is a precious thing.

CONVERT TO BLACK AND WHITE! XD Here are some shots from one of the more recent Faded Fortune shoots I did... but let me tell you about this venue. They might as well have been playing a basement show... because I've shot some *dark* venues before, but this one was the DARKEST of the dark. Sure, they had backlighting, but that doesn't help much unless you want to see 300 photos of a dark silhouette against pretty mini cans and strobes...
This venue had 4 cans, hap-hazardly aimed at the front of the stage, and they pretty much just covered the area where the lead singer stood. Both guitar players were completely in the dark and the only light the drummer was playing in, was the light that wrapped around him from the backlighting rig. Not only was the front lighting inadequate, but they were an orangy-peach color, supplied by the backlighting guys, which was MUCH better than the ugly red and green gels usually applied, but still clashed with the backlighting.
There really wasn't much anyone could do, short of redesigning the venues lighting scheme, so fun times indeed. XD
But I managed to get some shots for the guys :)
And at the end of the night, a very... excited... fan decided she was going to throw a dollar bill onto the stage. I don't know if she was just trying to be funny, or if she really thought they deserved a tip, but she threw a dollar onto the stage. And then another. Then her friend started in... and the next thing the guys knew, they were being showered with dollar bills and the occasional 5 spot here and there!
I think they made something like $50 in tips that night during their last song! XD
I unfortunately didn't get a shot of the money shower, because I was at an angle that didn't allow me to see what was happening until I saw Keith's expression on the drums. By the time I realized what was happening... it was over... but I managed to snap off a shot of the aftermath :)
I also shot the show the next night and a show the weekend after, so stay tuned for those posts coming soon!

Today is Veteran's Day, the day that we supposedly celebrate those individuals who fought for our country and our freedoms. As i perused through a number of Facebook entries this morning I saw the numerous comments thanking our veterans. I too thank our veterans, but, perhaps in a different way and perhaps to different veterans.
6. Paramedics – Like the firefighters, these individuals risk their lives to save ours. They are not paid very well, but they are dedicated to make sure that those of us in emergency situations as a result of heart attack, influenza, accidental injury or otherwise, get the up front assistance we need and make it to the hospital alive.
7. Prison Guards – Another uncelebrated and under paid protector of our freedoms. These individuals work in a hostile environment every day, risking their lives to make sure the murderersm thieves, rapists and other unruly members of our society are kept separated. They risk being taken hostage, or riots within the prison walls. They try to help those who have slipped but are trying to get back into society as productive citizens. They help us have more freedom.

Spirit-Healing in times of stress
What happens when we loose our connection to center?
I have started meditating. Believe it or not, holding still is extremely challenging for me. Regardless, I still try, because life is full and has been extra stressful these days. These times we are living in, require a steady mind, calm heart, and an embodied spirit. Even five to ten minutes of holding still can feel like a lifetime to me, but I can tell you it is helping give me daily reconnects with my breath and is helping me find and center within my own heart.
Today, with my dog, Bernard, on my side, snoring away, I was sitting, quietly. As I settled inward, I noticed I could hear a cheerful little bird busy singing her song outside my window. She was louder than the other birds outside. Her song felt particularly lively, and I wondered if she was singing a song for today's summer solstice. Then I noticed something else...
A louder than normal car drove by. I could feel the vibration of this passing car in my bones. Despite this being a relatively normal sound here where I live on a very busy street, in this place of stillness, I was able to notice how much the sound rattled me, as I could feel how I struggled to maintain a connection with my center and I was holding my breath, long after the car with little to no muffler passed. But as I re-centered and reconnected with my breath, I noticed, the bird was no longer singing. In fact, I noticed none of the previously hyperactive birds were singing. It felt as though they were holding their breath too, following the startle.
A solid two minutes passed before the birds, started with their song again. When they started singing again I noticed they sang rather timidly almost as though they were having to encourage each other along. It felt so very tender witnessing, as it took them a while before their songs felt and sounded as thought they were full of life, clear and steady again.
I started to wonder, like the birds, after a startle or a shock, how do we remind ourselves it is okay to sing again?
We live in times where chronic stress seems to be our new normal. Our systems are shocked and startled and worn down, daily. And after a long enough time, we may not even realize how glazed over and out of sorts we have become.
In times of chronic stress, like the birds in my yard who navigate their life in a chronically noisy (and stressful) yard, it can start to take longer and longer to reconnect with our song after we are startled.
We each know the layers that add to our personal chronic stress in our own life. When we add to our daily "normal" chronic stress, the layers of daily shocks to our system and the bombardment of news sharing details about bombings, fires, shootings, and witnessing images of mothers, daughters and sons fleeing wars and famine, our stresses compound. In times like these, it is easy to see how easily our tender systems can forget how to sing all together.
How spirit & energetic healing helps us in times of stress
Spirit & energetic sessions such as energy balancing and shamanism can help us feel wonderful and can help us center and ground. but sessions can also help us in the same ways the birds outside my window were reflecting one another after the shock of the loud car had passed, reflecting to each other with their songs, that in fact it is safe to sing again.
Most of us know, healers don't actually fix us, but rather healers hold space for us to feel better.
But rather shamanic practitioners and energy healing practitioners hold the raging waters of the world back, just enough for us to remember who we are and our own ability to self-heal.
Energetic healing offer us reflections into our own body with touch, into our emotions with words and kindness, and into our spirit with sounds, ceremony, and songs that tell us, "Yes, it is okay to sing again. Here let me help you by listening to your song and singing with you."
5 signs it is time for energetic TLC
Personally, I am a giant fan of regular tune up energetic sessions as a means of energetic preventive care. But do we how know how often our unique being needs care? When we are overdue for energy work the signs of needing care can be less obvious than when we need to see a body worker or physical therapist, but the signs are usually there.
Here are a few signs to listen to, that may be telling us that we are overdue for some spirit nourishing care from a trusted shamanic practitioner or energetic healing practitioner .
1. We feel off, out of sorts and not like our self, as though we are living just out of normal time
2. We notice we are putting off and postponing things that we love and help us feel better
3. Noticing we are holding our breath for long periods of time or generally feel disconnected with our breath
4. When our emotions feel unusually stockpiled and we can cry or drop into an angry place at the drop of hat
5. Feeling as though our nerves are on high alert, we are startling easily or are jumpy and snippy to those we love, including our pets
It is time? Check out my schedule and set up a time to receive.

Studies in Powder (Colour, Components, and Crackle!)
This is an intensive five-day workshop that explores new ways to approach glass design, composition, and the powder colour palette. The "colour" part involves understanding chemical reactions and blending powders to achieve reproducible colours. The "component" part involves producing and working with many forms of powder wafers. The "crackle" part involves learning how to create three different expressions of the crackle texture. Participants complete up to seven small (5-inch) gallery-quality bowls, and many test strips and tiles. The bowls are finished using grinding, polishing, and sandblasting techniques. A comprehensive set of course notes is provided.
Further Studies in Powder (Pushing the Limits!)Prerequisite: 5-day LGS introductory workshop on Studies in Powder (Colour, Components, and Crackle!) taught by Bob, either in his own studio or in someone else's.
This five-day workshop explores new and advanced techniques for achieving textures with glass powders. Participants will learn how to enhance the basic crackle process by adding subtle veining, replacement textures, blending powders, and sandblasting for colour control. Two completely new textural styles, pebbles and controlled orientation, offer participants creative design opportunities. New wafer styles expand the range of these versatile components. By the end of this workshop, participants will have the skills to express their vision and voice using powders.

HOTSHOT: Always HOT Coffee In A Ready-To-Drink Can
HOTSHOT is the most convenient way to drink delicious HOT coffee in your dorm, home, office or on the go!
HOTSHOT: Always HOT Coffee In A Ready-To-Drink Can
HOTSHOT is the most convenient way to drink delicious HOT coffee in your dorm, home, office or on the go!
Introducing HotShot: the most convenient way to drink delicious HOT coffee!
We are all on the run. We are always trying to do too much in too little time. We need coffee. We want coffee, but we always have to stop what we're doing to get a decent cup. This includes standing in line, making a cup or brewing a pot.
HotShot offers a line of delicious HOT gourmet coffees in ready-to-drink cans that eliminate all the hassles of coffee. All you do is reach in, take one, pop the top and drink it.
The cans are stored day and night at 140 degrees in an innovative HOT Fridge, the HotBox; this is the perfect temperature to drink premium coffee. You can keep a small HotBox that holds multiple cans in your home or buy HotShot in a store where it's sold from a large HotBox.
HotShot is made with 100% Arabica beans and flavored to perfection. You'll always get a fresh brewed coffee taste. HotShot is certified Kosher, and everything is made right here in the USA.
In order to keep our HotShots at the perfect drinking temperature without burning your hands, we've developed a revolutionary insulated label. Not unlike a drink cozy, the simple material keeps your coffee hot and your hands cool.
and underneath our insulated label is a can....the most recycled packaging in the world.
For the first roll-out of HotShot, we're happy to offer it in these amazing flavors:
Important: HotShot cans can only be heated inside our HotBox units. Do not attempt to heat cans in microwave, oven, stove top or any other way. We cannot guarantee safety, quality or integrity of the product and packaging if heated without the HotBox.
HotShot re-fills will be available in 12-pack cases that are either single flavor or mixed flavor. Before you put the cans into the HotBox, the cases can be stored at room temperature.
Hotshot is more than just coffee. We plan on offering a wide variety of HOT beverages in the near future.
The key to keeping HotShot ready to drink is the HotBox, the world's first HOT Fridge. The HotBox uses innovative heating technology (patent pending) to keep HotShot at the ideal temperature while being energy efficient.
With the conductive heating technology, the HotBox only applies heat to each can, so no power is wasted trying to keep the entire environment heated.
Important: This machine is intended for use with HotShot Beverages only! Do not place any other products inside the machine. HotShot beverages are specially designed to withstand the heating & hot storage process.
The small HotBox will fit on virtually any table or counter top.
In our New York inventory, we have limited quantities from our very first run of HotBoxes in yellow, green and purple. In our next production run, we will make white and black HotBoxes. These should be available for shipment in December.
We've also designed and built a commercial sized HotBox that's perfect for an office or convenience store!
We've been developing the HotBox since 2009, and have been improving on our original prototypes since 2010.
Here are our HotBoxes, HOT off the assembly line!
We have reward packages at different levels. Remember, the HotShot cans can only be heated in a HotBox.
Refined for American tastes, HotShot and the HotBox required us to innovate at every stage. When people asked us what took so long and how was the money spent, the answer was simple. We tried over 1,000 different pure coffee types to find the one that worked perfectly for our HotShot and HotBox needs.
A small but dedicated team. These pictures do not show our many external development partners who helped make this all possible. Thank you to them, they know who they are.
HotShot and the Hotbox represent the next evolutionary step in coffee. Once you try one, it will be difficult for you to imagine waiting in line or brewing a cup ever again.
The HOT canned coffee business in Japan is an estimated $14 billion a year. We quickly realized we couldn't just copy the Japanese. Their coffee cans are smaller and weren't hot enough, nor did they have insulating labels. And the taste profiles just didn't fit the ones Americans liked.
Danny hanging out in Japan discovering HOT canned coffee.
HotShot store units come in a variety of sizes and will be coming to a store near you.
In the future, we are planning to set up an auto ship program so that you can schedule your HotShot beverages delivered to your door.
Risks and challenges
There is a relatively low execution risk for this project. The factories have already experienced producing our products and are well equipped to scale production quickly to meet demand. The HotBoxes for home and retail use have been produced in large quantities and are already in inventory in New York. The HotShot product has been produced in small quantities twice before. We will just do again what we have already done.Learn about accountability on Kickstarter

Tickler Filofax
I, and other people I know, use a similar system in our Filofax diary pages. For example, last February we went to our friends' wedding. I wrote our hotel information, reservation numbers, address and phone number of the hotel, and directions to the hotel on a notes page. I put this notes page on my Filofax rings between the diary pages of the date we would be there to make it easier to find when I needed it, instead of buried behind a tab somewhere.
I have an expat friend who keeps her list of things to buy the next time she's home in the UK on her Filofax rings in the pages of her diary at the date she will be home. That way when she is in that time and place, literally, her list will be there.
Does anyone else use this method of putting reminders and information on the rings in your Filofax diary pages at the date you need it?
17 comments:
Great question and suggestion! In fact, I use the Filofax jotpads to note thing to do / to remember, and put them in the rings at the according week. It works fine, and I can even forward them to another date.ReplyDelete
I use a similar method - it's all too easy to make an appointments page messy and cluttered (and impossible to read) if I put all of the necessary information on the diary page.ReplyDelete
For instance, tomorrow I want to collect a parcel from the courier depot (by coincidence it'll be my shiny new slimline red Cuban; won it on eBay - YAY!) and so I'd punched and inserted the courier's depot card to not only serve as a reminder, but also to make sure I don't lose it.
Jotting notes on other, non-filo bits of paper has always been a problem for me, so this year I'm working really hard to put all my notes/info IN my filo.
I've been looking into how to integrate a GTD system into my Filo so this post was useful, thanks.ReplyDelete
On another note, I was mooching around the 'web finds' last night and found a tip on putting the diary section further back, to make it easier to write on the left hand pages. Don't know why I didn't think of that before, it really does help!
Loving Philofaxy - keep up the good work :)
I use the jot pads as tickler reminders too, like Tommes. I also use a yearly pull out diary for job application tickler reminders, ie for closing dates.ReplyDelete
I've never thought of doing this - but I will be doing it going forward! Thanks for the idea.ReplyDelete
Awesome idea! I just implemented it. Thanks.ReplyDelete
Yes, I do this all the time with either a jot pad page or a to-do or blank page, depending on how much detail I need to record. Then I open the rings and pop it in at the date I require that information.ReplyDelete
No, but I do like the idea. I will use it the next time the family goes on vacation. I have a question: Has anyone ever order from the Denmark Filofax website I need a new mini and they have a good price and better selection than the US site. I wanted to know will it be worth it to have it ship to me in the U.S? Please someone share their experience with me. Thanks. My little mini Finchley as much as I love it the pen compartment is worn and when I place my pen inside it gets stuck and this is becoming somewhat of a nuisance. I have not seen any other websites with a mini Finchley I think they have all sold out. Anyway, Be Well everyone. Thanks Again.ReplyDelete
Congratulations to Rabbit for winning the new Red Cuban.ReplyDelete

I only use MO2P as my calendar so I put any relevant up-and-comings behind the calendar pages so that it is there if I need it. So I can still see the month without moving the pages.ReplyDelete
I use a number of similar systems:ReplyDelete
punch holes in the paper and put it in the filofax in the right place (things like booking email print-outs or so on) and put it in the diary
if I can't punch holes in it (like train tickets) I put them in an envelope which has holes punched in it and put it in the right bit of the diary (and write on the envelope what it is)
I write the relevant information on a sheet and put it in the diary (or if it's small enough just write it in the diary - reminders to do meter readings etc)
Since I've been doing this I haven't lost any important details!
@MsPencil - Thanks :) I wanted a nice smooth, slim filofax for my hospital timetable - less chance of germy contamination with a smoother surface ^_^ReplyDelete
As for the Denmark site - this is the only international FF site I've used, mainly due to the wonderful price of postage they offer. I had to use a translator but it went smoothly and the two orders I've placed arrived safely.
...I didn't, but I will now. :DReplyDelete
~ Sonya, from Sago on Tuesdays ~
@ Rabbit Thanks so much. Best to you in school.ReplyDelete
Yes, I do that - for example, we have a timeshare that we go to in October so I put my plans for that in my diary pages just beforehandReplyDelete
- Anonymous27 January, 2012 10:36
I do this as well, although I've never heard the term! I've used this system for hotel stays (easy to print the confirmation on smaller paper and put it right in! Right now, I have a concert ticket punched and put right before the appropriate day.ReplyDelete
For me, this system makes it less likely that I'll lose important documents before an event/trip/etc.
I do this in s around-about way. If I'm planning for a trip, I will most likely keep the list behind my "projects" tab and move it to the specific date as it approaches. Often I find it more difficult to find the date that corresponds with the list than if it were behind a specific tab. However, for items like a concert I would probably keep a jot pad sheet of information with the date. I guess it depends on whether it's something I'll continually add to or something that just gets written once and left there until it's needed.ReplyDelete

Imagine the scene … you're running a pool competition and need some way to coordinate everything on the day. You could use pieces of paper, even excel spreadsheets, but wouldn't it be easier if you could do it all in one simple software application?
What follows isn't a new idea and doesn't necessarily include new concepts. However, it is my take on a solution that allows me to continually extend if necessary – it's often very difficult to extend someone else's work, especially if it is closed source.
Players overview: when you announce a competition you'll get a list of players stating their interest, some even paying you money, but at this point there is no guarantee they'll turn up on the day.
Competitions overview: most competitions I've been involved in include a main event and then a plate event to keep early round losers interested. Competitions have multiple rounds and can be run simultaneously over the available tables.
Teams overview: for most competitions this tab would be better named as Registered Players, but the software is designed to work for single, or team events, in the same way. When the players arrive at the venue you can register them by creating a team entry (1 or more players per team) for a particular competition.
Matches overview: this tab shows a complete list of matches that need to be played. Grouped by competition/round and showing home team and away team.
Tables overview: tables available for use at the venue. Each table has a status so you can tell if it's in use, or the players on it just happen to be practicing and causing delays!
Status: this page is where the benefit of using a software application comes into its own. At the top you can see the currently in progress matches. At the bottom you can see a list of matches that need to be played and if there are any free tables.
Omissions from this first demo?
Yes, there are some things missing and some things I'll change as development progresses. For example, most tabs include a data entry area and an Add button which makes development/testing easier, but these will be moved into dialog boxes in time as they clutter up the main UI.
There's also no obvious way to create matches between teams. This is coming, although it's a bit more complex than other tabs as it needs to include a manual match creation and a randomised draw creation.
Results, I don't see anywhere I can see match results! Again, an extra tab to be developed. The reason it's not in the demo screenshots is that I don't want it to be a tab in the same way as the other sections. I want it to be a separate window so those that run tournaments with a laptop and second screen can display the results window on the second screen. This allows players to come and see results (as well as the draw) without having to bug the organiser with questions.
Finally, the extra bits only possible by a software application. What if there was an internet forum you planned to update with results throughout the day? Wouldn't it be nice if there was a Publish button that did everything for you – from logging into the forum, formatting the results and continually updating each time you click the Publish button? And, what about a website? A lot of organisers need their results published in a way they can put on their website.
The development continues …

Unemployment is higher than you think.
Posted by Angella MacEwen under Job vacanices, labour market, part time work, skill shortages, unemployment.
September 18th, 2013
Comments: 2
Every month, Statistics Canada comes out with the unemployment rate, and every month it gets a lot of attention. But the unemployment rate provides quite limited information about the actual health of the labour market.
The addition of two other pieces of information nearly doubles the unemployment rate: the proportion of the labour market employed part-time but looking for more work, and the proportion that would like a job but aren't actively looking for work, and so aren't officially counted as being in the labour market.
The chart above shows the national annual average for July – August (just to get the most recent data in there). It shows a pretty consistent trend – the broader unemployment rate is pretty close to double the official unemployment rate. And yes, I've added the marginally attached to the denominator as well.
When we include involuntary part-time and marginally attached persons, the unemployment to job vacancy ratio sky rockets. For Canada the most recent official number is 6.3, but the broader definition of unemployment yields a number of 13 people who would like a job for every job opening.
For Ontario, the jump is more dramatic. The most recent official number for Ontario is 8.6, but the *real* ratio is 18.4. Ontario has about 43% of expanded unemployment, but only 30% of the job vacancies.
It's worth noting that the job vacancies counted by Statistics Canada are the number of jobs that were open at the end of the month. We don't know how long these jobs have been open, because Statistics Canada doesn't ask. But in a healthy job market, there are always going to be some jobs open. 216,000 job openings represents only 1.5% of employees.
To get an even broader picture of the edges of the labour market, I looked at own-account unemployment as well, meaning self-employed workers who have no employees. Unincorporated self-employed workers who have no employees make up about 7% of the Canadian labour market. Add in those self-employed workers who have decided to incorporate but have no employees, and we're at 10% of the Canadian labour market. That's nearly 1.9 million workers who are in a pretty precarious employment situation, to say the least.
Over 2 million Canadians are employed in temporary employment as well, giving us an additional 10% of the labour market that is precariously employed.
That paints a pretty stark picture of our current labour market situation. 14% of the Canadian labour market is unemployed, 10% are self-employed with no employees, and 10% are employed in temporary work. (These percentages are all based on total labour market + marginally attached = about 19.5 million.)
September 17th was the two-year anniversary of the first occupy wall street gathering. The issues that were raised by OWS are still crying out for a serious policy response.

A cautionary tale from economist Bill Mitchell:
The Labor government under Rudd-Gillard failed the most basic test
It allowed itself to indulge in an obsession about budget surpluses knowing it was driving labour underutilisation (both unemployment and underemployment) up and knowing that joblessness causes misery for the individuals and their families that have to endure the plight.
It did so because it thought that would be rewarded by an ignorant electorate that would see it as good economic managers.
But unemployment is never really accepted as being a good outcome and in many electorates (particularly in the old Labor heartland of Tasmania) the voters sent the signal to the government – failure and out!

Hi Angella. Sorry again for the 'piling on' on Twitter. I do try to avoid that normally…
I prefer to use the term 'broader measure' than 'real' or 'true', since those terms resonate too much for me with internet flotsam about 'hidden true inflation' or "Obama's hidden unemployment numbers" that pervade the nuttiest of right-wing websites.
The sluggishness of labour market recovery from recessions is a new thing over the last few recessions. My colleague Henry Siu has taken a look at this from a macro perspective for the US here: http://www.voxeu.org/article/jobless-recoveries-and-disappearance-routine-occupations, noting that the loss of 'routine' jobs really stacks up during the 91/01/08 recessions, and isn't a smooth trend.
Best wishes.

"Best Friends Forever"
Starring Ashley Laine
Directed by JohnM
Ashley and her longtime friend stumble into her room. They had such a good night together reminiscing of their long friendship. But Ashley secretly has always wanted a little more, and with the liquid lubrication of the booze the words slip out. "You should fuck me." she says with a grin, as she begins kissing him.
Before he can process the assertion, Ashley passes out on the bed. He doesn't know what to do as he tries to wipe the lipstick from his face. She is so hot lying there and he's had a similar crush since they were pre-graders. She did say she wanted him to fuck her. He can't it's wrong, he knows it. The dilemma plays cyclic in his head as he paces the floor. He thinks to himself, maybe she doesn't have to know.
He admires her soft body, so tactile under his hands his cock begins to harden in his pants, as he begins to strip her; talking himself into each maneuver to undress her. 'These clothes can't be comfortable to s***p in,' he assures himself as he slips off her panties revealing her perfect pussy. Not so much as a stir from her…yea, maybe she doesn't need to know.
He begins to meticulously check to see if anything he does will wake her. He rolls her around on the bed, lifting up her arms and letting them fall with a thud to the bed. He checks by dropping her legs and even her whole body, she just flops. He shakes her arms and wrists and nothing arouses her. Every way he maneuvers her and flops her is as muted to her consciousness as the breathe of a sleeping baby. She is completely out. She will never know.
Confident that he can finally fuck his sexy friend without any repercussions, he starts to undo his pants and climb on top of the sleeping beauty. Abruptly, she rouses, her eyes fluttering open, and innocent and uncomprehending smile on her face. "What's going on?" she asks groggily. Loosing his nerve, he smiles back at her. "Just tucking you in." he replies, covering her crazy hot body with a heavy comforter and walking away, bent over from an uncomfortable erection and a terminal case of blue balls.
