The presence of senior US Administration, Congress and major corporate representatives underlines the significance of next week's United States New Zealand Partnership Forum in Christchurch.
"This is the most significant gathering of New Zealand and United States government, business and community leaders in New Zealand for many years," says NZ US Council Chairman Rt Hon James Bolger.
Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano will be the most senior US Administration figure at the Forum, which aims to strengthen further New Zealand's relationship with the United States.
Secretary Napolitano is the second member of President Barack Obama's Cabinet to visit New Zealand within the past 4 months, following Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit in November last year.
Secretary Napolitano's remit covers counter-terrorism, border security, natural disasters, immigration and cyber security. She will be joined at the Forum by Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell.
A number of other current or former Administration representatives and 9 serving Congressmen led by Congressman Donald Manzullo (R-Illinois), Chairman of the House Sub-committee on Asia Pacific will join representatives from significant US corporates like Boeing, Kraft Foods, Lockheed Martin and Time Warner. The US delegation numbers 47 in total.
"This is the fourth United States New Zealand Partnership Forum and the strength of the US delegation really represents the remarkable progress that has been made in expanding the relationship between our countries," says Mr Bolger.
"In the post 9/11 world and with the fault lines exposed by the 2008 financial crash, plus the growing concern regarding adequate world food supplies, coupled with events such as the unrest in Egypt, it is logical for old friends to work even more closely together.
"The Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations are one example of our expanding co-operation. At the Forum we will also be working on practical ideas in safe and sustainable food production, political engagement and security in Asia Pacific and how to build low carbon economies."
Mr Bolger says the presence of Secretary Napolitano indicates the new level of interaction.
"Particularly when you consider her interest in areas like customs and immigration and preparation and recovery from natural disasters – on this last matter we expect the Secretary to be particularly interested in lessons from last year's Canterbury earthquake."
There will be a number of government to government meetings around the Forum which will also pick up on practicalities of the relationship.
The impressive US line-up will be matched by a very strong New Zealand delegation and senior Government representation.
Prime Minister John Key will open the Forum. Also attending will be Foreign Affairs Minister Murray McCully, Trade Minister Tim Groser, and Opposition Leader Phil Goff along with other Parliamentary representatives, as well as senior government officials and Chairs and CEOs from a cross section of New Zealand industry. The New Zealand delegation numbers 63 in total.
"This will be an influential gathering of like-minded people – all keen to move forward issues of high importance to both countries. This Forum gathering will advance the relationship between the two countries," Mr Bolger concluded.

Do you like hearty Italian food, reasonably-priced wine and supporting local businesses? Of course you do!
Ristorante Ichnusa is a Sardinian restaurant I stumbled across on my travels around Battersea. I noticed that they had a sign outside proclaiming that they offer gluten free options (restaurants – this is a good thing to do), and after an encouraging chat with the manager Alberto, I vowed to pay them a visit.
The restaurant is located on Lavender Hill, a pleasingly-named stretch of shops, cafes and bars (and about 10 million estate agencies) in Battersea.
From their website:
'At Ristorante Ichnusa we offer the authentic taste of Sardinia, preparing our pastas and main courses in the same traditional way our grandmothers did when we were kids. Strong, bold flavours and the freshest ingredients combine with handmade delicacies and full bodied wine to produce an unforgettable experience for all who grace our tables.'
Upon visiting the restaurant, I was immediately impressed by three things.
1. They provide gluten free pasta and bread at no extra cost.
2. They are willing to adapt any of the meals where possible to be GF (with advance notice).
3. I wasn't made to feel like an inconvenience for asking about gluten.
I ate the Malloreddus Alla Campidanese, which is 'Classic Sardinian pasta with tomato, fresh sausage, saffron and pecorino cheese.' I rarely order pasta dishes at restaurants as I make them so often at home, but this was a real treat. D had the Risotto Vegetariano, a hearty risotto with fresh vegetables which he declared to be scrumptious.
We washed our meals down with nice and incredibly reasonably priced wine. For a very un-plonk-like 175ml glass of red or white wine, they charge just £3.50. This is unheard of in London. They also have a nice selection of Italian beers and classic cocktails. We enjoyed sitting outside and watching the life of Lavender Hill go by.
As if all this wasn't enough to tempt you, Ristorante Ichnusa offer a 2 4 1 discount with Tastecard (you must book ahead), which really brings the cost down. (Get a free trial of Tastecard here.)
With the closest stations (Clapham Junction and Wandsworth Road) a longer-than-10-minutes-walk away, it is a little off the beaten track, (though on a major bus route – for better and worse) but this does mean it is a bit more peaceful than the rugger troughs further down the road.
If you are local or seeing a show at the nearby and wonderful Battersea Arts Centre, consider checking out Ristorante Ichnusa for some tasty food and a place to drink wine and unwind. There is nothing wrong with the much-loved Italian chains around London, but occasionally it is nice to go to the sort of place that not only offers pasta, but also rabbit, venison and suckling pig. You don't get that at Pizza Express.

November 2011
ProjectB presents LAS HORAS CLARAS the solo exhibition of the Spanish artist Dionisio Gonzalez.
On show in Milano light boxes ranging from the real to the dreamlike, all dedicated to the city of Venice as the symbol of a timeless place steeped in contrasts that make it unique and, at the same time, immobile.
Dionisio Gonzales' work aims to bring together photography and architecture. The artist makes c-prints, taking a real image of a place and digitally superimposing a closely connected but virtual architectural project onto it.
The chosen place itself always has a special relationship with architecture: like Venice the photos of Halong Bay in Vietnam, the favelas of Rio de Janeiro, or the Dauphin Island project (an island in the United States of America, devastated by a number of well-documented catastrophes from hurricanes Katrina and Ivan to the recent environmental drilling rig disaster). This way of living a disaster contains the paradox - which the artist wants to show - of a community that establishes itself in a place that's continually being rebuilt.
The Venice project was defined after analysing the designs put forward for the city by the greatest architects of the 20th century, but which never saw the light of day: it's a belated tribute to those abandoned attempts to change the appearance of a place that had remained the same for hundreds of years. With astounding objectiveness, Dionisio Gonzalez photographs the areas that should have housed those buildings and, using modern retouching techniques, inserts the renderings of the buildings to recreate them with the aid of the original drawings and projects of Le Corbusier, Frank Lloyd Wright and Louis Khan - a tribute to Palladio and a reinterpretation of Ignazio Gardella's Condominio Cicogna.
According to Dionisio Gonzalez, the failure to construct these buildings lay in the scanty application - in other words, a lack of perseverance in pursuing the goal, due to the responsibility that mankind feels towards Venice - the responsibility to maintain its unchanging appearance and preserve it as a symbol, as a memorial for future generations, condemning it to a perpetual immobility.
My photos are the result of a lot of research to identify the exact location of these absent buildings. I started off by taking simple photos of the areas, then added the buildings in 3-D, using not the original drawings but the ones already modified by the architects on the basis of the first re-examination with the contractors. In this way, I side-stepped their absence and created a possible Venice - what Venice could have become.
Apart from the projects put forward by Wright, Corbusier and Khan, Gonzalez' Venice also includes a tribute to Palladio - a building inspired by the four books of architecture published in the city itself in 1570: a dreamlike place on Giudecca Island where, in the opinion of the artist, the rules of the city are more flexible and the eye can take a rest while the immensity of the lagoon takes over.

Rye, New Hampshire. What a dream...
I'll start by showing the house we stayed in (along with the rest of the wedding party our new friends):
And every morning I peered out my window blinds to find this:
My post on Friday said that I was going to New Hampshire and wished I could bring a bike. I got several comments and emails from blog readers recommending where to go in the area. One particular email was from a woman named Colette, (a reader who had not written me until now) that read: "I have a summer place in rye beach with two new bikes. Would love for you to ride!" She then continued to leave her address, where she leaves her spare key, and a detailed list of where to go and what to do.
Did I mention how much I love blogging? I put a bike on my 'wish list' and low and behold get TWO waiting right down the street from me in the middle of Rye, New Hampshire. Crazy!!! I'm still convinced Colette is an angel.
On Saturday Hoyt was busy with 'best man' stuff and I took off for on an adventure to a) find these bikes and b) eat a lobster. I convinced my new friend (whose boyfriend was also doing 'man stuff') to tag along. Following Colette's directions we hiked down the beach as the words in her email started to come alive in front of us: (Colette's words in pink)
If you head south along the ocean, turn up Sea Road, by old beach club, great tree lined street:
Rye has several beaches and my house is near Cable beach which is excellent for walking...
It is flat, long and so wide at low tide that the sunset reflects off the wet tide and I rejoice at the beauty of creation. Yeah God.
The dogs will be romping and swimming and you can't help but smile at their reckless abandon. It will be hard to leave.
It was hard to leave (without stealing a dog) but we had to find the bikes so we hopped off the beach and landed right by Colette's street.
We found her house minutes later along a quiet neighborhood street...
*I'm so mad that I didn't take a picture but I was too busy trying to get the bikes that I forgot!! Although it might be best to keep it private. But just so you can get a visual picture it looked alot like this: (quaint and adorable)
We walked around back and saw the 2 bikes propped up inside but lo and behold, no one was home. We fished around for the key (where she said we would find it) but only found a few bugs. So, what did I do?
Why, I called her on her cell phone! This adventure wouldn't be over without a fight.
Hi Colette! It's Rachel from nestegg!! (never said that before) I'm at your house and we see the bikes but we can't get to them!!
To which she responded: Oh no! I'm so sorry!! Well, you can break the door down..? I don't care! Or find a cracked window and pry it open!!
Wow, I love this woman.
So as we are circling the house pushing doors and prying windows a neighbor stopped by "Ummm... may I help you?"
Thankfully our peacoats and big smiles convinced the neighbor that we were safe. But I couldn't help but daydream about WHAT IF a police officer pulls us aside for questioning:
"Maam, do you know the owner of this home?"
"Well, sort of sir. She reads my blog- nest egg... Her name is Colette...?? I dont know her last name."
After much illegal trespassing we ended up not being able to get the bikes but it was the thought (and adventure) that counted! Don't worry Colette, I'll be back next year for attempt #2. :)
We had to hurry back for the wedding festivities! So we took off down the road (on the marsh side this time) as I read:
However, you will get to see the trees right along seacoast as development is prohibited because of all the marshland. Unique place Rye is because of the wetlands!
Some leaves were on the brink of changing...
while others were way ahead of the game:
We were able to see the cute coastal homes. The shingle cottages were my favorite...
Then we went into Portsmouth...for some shopping and cruising.
I love towns like these where the buildings are so bright and colorful. It adds so much personality to a city. I would have taken more pictures but it was raining.
Then I ran into a little store called Hoyt's which was none other than an OFFICE SUPPLY STORE. Could it be any more perfect? I love office supplies-!! And Hoyt! Had to take a pic.
And finally, the wedding:
the cute little church where the ceremony was held
Me and the best man (above, not below)
The lovely bride and groom! They danced to THIS SONG by the Avett Brothers... it was precious.
simple, beautiful flower arrangements
Thanks to Rob and Barbie for the wonderful wedding weekend!! And thanks to Colette for being such a generous blog reader and quite the tour guide!
Be back soon with design related posts! Promise.

53 Center Street
The original part of this house was built in the mid 1840's. Wallace Walker was the owner and resident from 1847 to 1874. Wallace Walker was a druggist who owned a building on the corner of Main and Center Streets where the Youngs and Linfoot offices are now. He sold it to John E. Booth in 1874 who bought it after the death of his wife. John Booth lived here with his two daughters and three sons. In 1886, since his children were now adults, Mr. Booth sold the house to the Nella B. Bond estate for a home for Nella's sister, Rose, who suffered from a nervous ailment that made her almost helpless. Nella and Rose Bond were nieces of the Allen Ayraults, builders of the Big Tree Inn. Rose Bond died in 1896 and in 1912 her executors sold the house to William Burley, who had sold his farm to move into the village. Mr. Burley died in 1923 and after Mrs. Burley's death in 1926 the house became the property of one of her daughters, Estella Burley Haaf.

"We consider Area as a vector."
How is an area a vector? Why is that the vector is always normal to the area element?
It's just a definition that is mostly useful in physics. If you want to integrate the flow of a liquid or an electromagnetic field out of a given surface (say the surface of a ball), you would like to multiply each differential surface area by the corresponding flow. But what if the flow isn't perpendicular to the surface? in this case we want to multiply the flow (which is a vector) with the surface normal.
So instead of writing: $${\bf{v}}\cdot{\bf{n}}\ dA$$ We can now write: $${\bf{v}}\cdot{\bf{dA}}$$
It's a cheat, a mathematical sleight of hand. In 3d, a planar subspace will always have a unique normal direction, and so you can get away with using those normal vectors instead of introducing a lot of extra mathematical framework. Using normal vectors makes sense because these vectors are unique up to a sign and magnitude.
In spaces with more than three dimensions, planes no longer have normal vectors, and dealing with other frameworks to handle such objects is unavoidable.
Edit: using clifford algebra, you can directly handle areas (planes) as bivectors. The product of vectors that produces such objects is not the cross product but the wedge product. The wedge product is anticommutative, so $a \wedge b = - b \wedge a$, similar to the cross product, and in addition $a \wedge a = 0$.
Here's an example. Let $u = 3\hat x + 2 \hat y$ and $v = 5 \hat y + 2 \hat z$. The area of a parallelogram spanned by these two vectors is
$$A = u \wedge v = (3 \hat x + 2 \hat y) \wedge (5 \hat y + 2 \hat z) = 15 \, \hat x \wedge \hat y + 6 \, \hat x \wedge \hat z + 4 \, \hat y \wedge \hat z$$
Compare this with the corresponding calculation using the cross product. The components are all the same, but the interpretation of the object is different. Again, the main reason for doing this instead of using pseudovectors is that this approach is valid in any number of dimensions. In addition, some aspects of linear transformations are not obvious using pseudovectors (why should a pseudovector transform differently than the vectors used to build it?) but can be seen more intuitively using bivectors. One such case is inversion through the origin.
Actually, you can have a n-dimensional cross-product which generalizes the 3-dimensional cross-product.
If $A_i, i=1, n-1$ are $n-1$ $n$-dimensional vectors with the elements of $A_i$ being $a_{i,1}, a_{1,2}, ..., a_{i, n}$, and the $n$ unit vectors are $e_1, ..., e_n$, then the following determinant is a n-dimensional vector orthogonal to all the $A_i$:
$\left| \begin{array}{cccc} e_1 & e_2 & ... & e_n \\ A_{1,1} & A_{1,2} & ... & A_{1,n} \\ A_{2,1} & A_{2,2} & ... & A_{2,n} \\ ... & ... & ... & ... \\ A_{k,1} & A_{k,2} & ... & A_{k,n} \\ ... & ... & ... & ... \\ A_{n-1,1} & A_{n-1,2} & ... & A_{n-1,n} \\ \end{array} \right|$

Just a few photos to share with you this week from the Capture Your 365 photo challenge.
ISO 100, 55mm, f/5.6, 1/200 sec
Day 138 – Fresh Veggies: Obviously, these are not fresh veggies! One of the benefits of living in the California Central Valley is how much fresh produce surrounds us. For the last couple of weeks, early on Saturday mornings, I have been out picking blueberries and cherries at one of the local U-pick farms.
ISO 100, 55mm, f/5.6, 1/6 sec
Day 141 – The Perfect Gift: Oh, my husband knows when I need a little pick me up in my month!
ISO 100, 200mm, f/7.1, 1/50 sec
Day 142 – Clouds: It has been so incredibly windy here lately, there was not a cloud in the sky to photograph on this day. But we were so close to having a full moon, so I pulled out my tri-pod and took a picture of the moon instead. The picture was kind of blah when I pulled it into Lightroom, amazing what you can do by adjusting a few settings.
ISO 100, 135mm, f/5.0, 1/800 sec
Day 143 – May Flowers: I don't have a huge vegetable garden this year, but I have planted quite a few marigolds around. Hoping they help to keep the bad bugs away.
What did you photograph this past week? It is almost June! This would be a great time to join in the Capture Your 365 photo challenge!

"I often say I'm bilingual. I speak two languages - English and Music. There's a reason they say 'where words fail, music speaks.' Music is my first love. My parents met in a band. It's all I've ever known. Music drives me and fulfills me in a way that few things have ever come close to doing. I couldn't imagine my life without it. It's been my best friend, a healer, my confidant. It's been there for me through the best and worst times. I hope to use my music to touch, inspire, and motivate others the way music has always done for me."
"But overall, who am I? At the core, I'm just a girl who chooses and refuses to let my dreams die. I owe it to myself. I owe it to the universe. I owe it you. And I hope you enjoy."

E is for Entigration
At Sitrion, our mission is to Make Work Better. This is really a mission about increasing productivity and engagement of individual employees in an enterprise. Part of it is providing a great user experience and part of it is fitting in with the realities of companies.
The truth about enterprise mobility is that it's like an iceberg. Most users only see a small portion compared to all the parts needed to make it work. Because Sitrion ONE is a mobile app solution for enterprises, which means that our solution has to fit in with the other systems and procedures. If a software product doesn't, it simply will never succeed in most companies.
Since I've always been fascinated with the part of the iceberg under the water, I thought it would be fun to share a few updates on the enterprise integration enhancements in Sitrion ONE. And while I'm at it, I decided to make up my own word for enterprise integration. So here's the latest in ONE Entigration!
ONE for all
Email address is a common way to identify users in the enterprise. It's unique and gives you a built-in way to communicate with the user. However, a lot of companies have deskless employees, where not every user has an email address. Sitrion ONE originally relied on having an email address both to identify the user and which company to associate that user. Over the last few months, we've given ONE the ability to handle users without email addresses and still ensure proper security and manageability of users. We work with each company individually to figure out the best solution to easily onboard all users – even ones without corporate logins.
Groups for ONE
One of the most popular use cases in Sitrion ONE is delivering targeted communications through mobile devices, which provide an excellent channel for supporting employee engagement. But it's critical to send the right message to the right users for this to work effectively. In most companies, user groups are defined in places like the HR system or email distribution lists. To give ONE the power of targeting these groups without lots of additional work, we automatically make your groups available in Sitrion ONE to target your messages. We work with each customer to easily target audiences in ONE based on the data you already have in your internal systems.
United we stand
The great teamwork between Sitrion ONE and your company systems relies on another critical area of "entigration." ONE has always included a built-in capability for communicating securely between the cloud and premise-based systems. This opens up great possibilities for easily allowing access to SharePoint, SAP and other backend systems to let users easily search for documents, approve a travel request, find an expert, and much more. Just like everything else with enterprises, this secure communication capability needs to fit with the architecture and security standards. So, we recently built an entirely new secure connectivity option based on the needs of one of our large customers. The new option gives them additional controls over communications to meet their internal security standards. Sitrion building a totally new option in a couple of weeks is a little bit like waking up to find a completely new bridge has been built across that river you have to cross every day on your commute.
Committed to our mission to 'Make Work Better'
Whether or not "entigration" catches on as a shortcut for enterprise integration, it's clearly been an area of focus for our Sitrion ONE mobile product over the last few months. While the details of each of these capabilities might not be interesting to everyone, the reality is that a lot is below the surface, and if a product doesn't handle the real integration requirements, it can never truly succeed. We've put a lot of work into "entigration" for Sitrion ONE because we really are committed to our mission to "Make Work Better" for all enterprise employees.

I moved to Los Angeles last summer! I am now fully absorbed in graduate school, studying animation. I am almost through my first year, I've finished my first short film, and I'm having a blast.
Though this part of the country has nothing resembling East coast seasons, I've been aching for spring and summer, and I cannot stop drawing rabbits and flowers and pink squiggles all over everything!
I've been very busy, and I've got quite a few projects on the horizon. Since it's been so long since my last post, I thought I'd break the ice before going into detail about what I've been up to. Here are some hints, and stay tuned.

If you like the design of the french country cabinets, then maybe you should apply french country kitchen design for your kitchen. As one of the most substantial parts of the house, kitchen is the place that you have to decorate nicely. One of the things that you can do to make your kitchen look nice and comfortable is by applying french country design. This design has been praised for its down-to-earth and warm look for the kitchen. You will feel like you are in the rural area of France if you pick this kitchen design. Besides, this design is also very versatile. So, what else can you possibly ask for?
Wood Furniture For The Design
However, one thing that you should always keep in mind whenever you decide to apply a french country design for your house is the furniture selection. Unlike any other kitchen designs, french country kitchen is strongly related with wood furniture. As what has been mentioned above, a frech country kitchen design is well-known for its natural and down-to-earth look. One of the furniture materials which can support that look is wood. That is why, picking wood furniture is better than furniture made of other materials. One tip, though. If you are going for wood furniture shopping, make sure that you pick the rustic wood furniture. This type of wood furniture will be just perfect for your french country kitchen design.
The Color Palette Of The Kitchen Design
When it comes to discussing about french country colors, you also have to be careful. In fact, this type of kitchen design can go with any colors. However, there are some colors which are commonly used for this kitchen design. Some of them include soft brown, gray, off white, black, and other neutral colors. Since the furniture is made of wood, make sure that the color paint that you choose is still in line with the furniture color tone. The other thing that you have to take care carefully is the lighting. In case your kitchen is not that large, then it is highly recommended that you pick bright color paint. Bright color palette is good for making your kitchen look visually bigger than it actually is. That is why, picking the right color palette is very important for your kitchen. The last thing that you have to do is getting some french country decor ideas from magazines for broadening your references about this kitchen design.

The Pirate Bay: Away From Keyboard
posted by: D Prep News & Humor
As much as I love the internet, there's no denying that it can be an incredibly scary place. The unlimited sharing of files, and the stealing and pirating of such files, is a huge business. And, where there's huge business, there's huge players. Players who will do whatever necessary to protect their game. The Pirate Bay is one of those businesses. Run by incredibly brilliant, cunning, and adaptive geniuses, they have become one of the most influential file sharing sites on the internet.
This is a trailer of the documentary that tells their story. Watch and enjoy, and keep in mind that, without file sharing sites such as those god-fathered by TPB, there would be no Sunset, no PMA, no music blogs.

Ever since the NLRB has required the "Employee Rights" poster to be posted by virtually all employers, it has continued to be challenged in the court system. The unions seemed to look to this new law to boost union membership since it would put the information readily available to almost all employees in the United States.
Earlier this year, the same appeals court brought into question hundreds of rulings by the current National Labor Relations Board after learning that President Obama's recess appointments to the board were ruled unconstitutional. The Obama Administration is appealing that decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.
The poster rule would have required more than 6 million businesses to display an 11-by-17-inch notice in a prominent location explaining the rights of workers to join a union and bargain collectively to improve wages and working conditions. The posters also made clear that workers have a right not to join a union or be coerced by union officials.
The National Association of Manufacturers, U.S. Chamber of Commerce and other business groups complained that the regulation violated free speech rights by forcing employers to display labor laws in a way that some believed was too skewed in favor of unionization.
A three-judge panel of the court agreed, ruling that the National Labor Relations Act protects the rights of employers not to publish the government's poster if they find the language in it objectionable. That protection is similar to the First Amendment freedom of speech, said Judge A. Raymond Randolph, who was appointed to the court in 1990 by President George H.W. Bush.
"First Amendment law acknowledges this apparent truth: all speech inherently involves choices of what to say and what to leave unsaid," Randolph said.
Randolph's decision was joined by Karen LeCraft Henderson, also a Bush appointee, and Janice Rogers Brown, who was appointed by Bush's son, President George W. Bush.
"Today, manufacturers claim an important victory in the fight against an activist NLRB and its aggressive agenda," said National Association of Manufacturers President and CEO Jay Timmons. "The poster rule is a prime example of a government agency that seeks to fundamentally change the way employers and employees communicate."
A labor board spokesman did not immediately respond to a request for comment. The board had argued that the rule was needed because many workers — including recent immigrants, high school students and other employees in nonunion workplaces — were not aware of their right to engage in collective bargaining.
Unions said the posters were needed to address widespread misunderstandings about labor law and many workers' fear of exercising their rights under it.
The rule was supposed to take effect last year, but the appeals court had blocked it after lower courts split on whether the rule was valid. A federal judge in Washington, D.C., found the poster rule was acceptable, but limited how it could be enforced. Another federal judge in South Carolina said the labor board exceeded congressional authority when it approved the poster requirement in 2011.In response to this court decision, National Safety Compliance is no longer sending the supplemental posting with all Federal Labor Law Poster orders. It is, however, available for free with the purchase of the Federal Labor Law Poster, or available by itself for only $2.00 with 2-sided lamination.
For more information, please feel free to contact National Safety Compliance.

Subscribe To Why Doctor Strange's Villain Really Hates The Ancient One Updates
Captain America has Red Skull. Iron Man has The Mandarin. Spider-Man has The Green Goblin and Doctor Octopus. But who is Doctor Strange's signature villain? The Marvel sorcerer isn't exactly a household name, and his rogue's gallery might be even more obscure -- with names like Mephisto, Dormammu and Dagoth on the tips of our tongues. In a way, that freed up Doctor Strange director Scott Derrickson as he sought to bring damaged neurosurgeon Stephen Strange to the screen for the first time in the MCU, as he was able to think outside the box and come at the villain issue from a new angle.
The solution, as we learned during an exclusive set visit to Doctor Strange outside of London, was to bring in an obscure villain and give him beef with The Ancient One (Tilda Swinton), Stephen Strange's trainer and mentor. It was during this visit that Marvel President Kevin Feige confirmed to us that Mad Mikkelsen would play the main antagonist in Doctor Strange, creating a character named Kaecilius. A fellow master of sorcery, Kaecilius takes issue with Swinton's mystical teacher, as Feige explains to us:
One of the main challenges on any of the Marvel origin stories is dedicating enough time to the new hero, and his or her proper backstory, that it usually gives the villain the short shrift. I think we can agree that characters such as Iron Monger, Yellowjacket and even Ultron suffered because their movies focused on the heroes... and rightfully so. I'm anxious to see how Kaecilius evolves as a villain, because from what we were told, he will have no real interest in Stephen Strange -- because initially, Stephen Strange has no real skill in the realm of sorcery. But as he improves, with The Ancient One's training, I'm guessing that Kaecilius will become very interested in Doctor Strange (and may even need to call in reinforcements).
Scott Derrickson's Doctor Strange stars Benedict Cumberbatch as a wounded neurosurgeon who embarks on a journey to heal his broken hands, and ends up opening the door, to a mystical new reality. It's the fourteenth movie in the ongoing MCU, and it opens everywhere on November 4. Look for more coverage from the set of Doctor Strange on CinemaBlend all week long.

So, I've been planning another post on here for about a week now. Trouble is, I've not been doing terribly well this last week and the trouble with posting to a blog when you're not doing so well is that it's a bit of an effort to sound genuine when, in fact, you're forcing it.
I'm going to try to explore some of those feelings in this blog post.
I don't even know where to start here. Pretty much an overarching statement for me at the moment. So much of the time when I find myself in the middle of a mental health puddle, spiral or whatever, I'm looking around myself and going, 'How did I get here?' Also, perhaps more importantly, 'How am I ever going to get out again?'
I have been seeing a counsellor for about six months about some of the feelings I have been having for most of this year, and that has been helpful, but it hasn't helped. What I mean to say is that it hasn't fixed the situation. It's not in the past yet. It's still a problem I'm having to pay attention to every day, even on my good days, and counting a win on those times when I've had four days in a row without temptation being to burst into tears. Or just throw my hands up and give up on everything. Or else just stop caring. Just for a little while, but the temptation for that 'little while' to become 'just a little bit longer' is there. Trust me, those times haven't been too often. >.<
I've also been in to see doctors for blood tests to see if there are more physical reasons for things like the exhaustion I've been feeling for almost two years now, as well as the irritation that has been growing only more increased when I miss a meal or even when a meal is a half hour later than I'm wanting it to be. (Times when I'm stuck in a car in the middle of a long drive and suddenly that need for food is upon me are less than pleasant. When you go from naught to crazy within 20 minutes, truck stops become a life saver). There haven't been, and so doctors' surgeries have become another source of frustration, another reason for self-hate and general upset.
The day before yesterday, I was sitting online with Twitter in one window and half a dozen tabs on anti-depressants in another.
It's important, perhaps, to note here: I'm... heavily against the idea of taking anti-depressants. I write this with a mum who has been on anti-depressants since I was in my mid-teens and several assorted friends and loved ones whose lives have been greatly enhanced through the space that anti-depressants offer in order to stand up again and get through day to day life. For them, it's a great help. For me, I'm terrified it will change who I am. I'm terrified I will no longer be able to write. I'm afraid I will start to gaze at everything through a mental glass pane that will separate me from the rest of the world. I'm terrified again that if I start on them, I'll never be able to get off them again, that an anti-depressant addiction will just be one more problem for me to have to deal with.
Whether or not it's irrational fear that has had me haring off in the opposite direction each time anti-depressants have been brought up, the idea I may end up on them despite all of my feelings against them has caused me uncounted hours of stress on top of the already not great feelings of depression, apathy, self-loathing, etc, etc. In short, not a particularly helpful solution on the surface of it.
So I've been trying other things, like seeing a counsellor, seeing doctors, doing tremendous amounts of exercise, all in the effort of finding more 'natural' ways of solving my mental health. And it hasn't been working. And, you know what? I was having a conversation with my partner on Friday night about how my low moods have been making it more or less impossible for me to write anyway of late. For a number of weeks, actually. And I've been quietly feeling really guilty about it. (Enter: feelings of self-hate, self-loathing, etc.)
So there I was on Sunday night, there I was, having a serious look for myself at the information available on anti-depressants, particularly SSRI medications (selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors) like Lovan, for example. I'm still not sold on this idea of chemical treatment, but I'm starting to acknowledge that what I am doing just isn't working.
And then, staring me right in the face like a little life saver or life line, there was a warning not to take Lovan/Prozac if you were taking, among other things, St John's wort.
Like it was a rope and I was on my very last breath in very deep water, I grabbed onto that life line.
I said to my fiancee, 'Will you take me to the chemist?'
And he said, 'Yes.'
He read with me some of the information I gathered about St John's wort.
This page in particular was a concise and useful source of information on St John's wort -- http://www.blackdoginstitute.org.au/docs/stjohnswort.pdf
Amusingly enough, the brand of St John's wort that I've just started on (Nature's Own) also comes with Tyrosine. This supplement's main job is to aid in alertness following exhaustion, one of the other problems I'd been struggling with.
Why St John's wort instead of a tried and proven anti-depressant? Because I'm a gigantic hippy at heart. And, because it was worth my while, emotionally, to attempt something that was still within my comfort levels just in case it worked. And because, even while herbal remedies may be seen as bogus when set next to modern day medicines, St John's wort has a history of being used to treat mild depression since ancient Greek times (as it says in the above link). All of this, is enough reason for me to give it a try.
So I'm here. It's now Tuesday, day three, and if I'm lucky, tomorrow will be day four without temptation to burst into tears, throw my hands up and give up, or just stop caring. And if I get to day five, or day seven, or even day seventeen, I'll have something I want to write about.
And, maybe, opening up with this post will make it easier to post here next time even if I don't.

My mum announced this week that she wants a tablet (even though she already has an iPad), so for some reason it become my job to go out and research her options. She was very specific with what she wanted as well, it had to have a screen larger than seven inches and cost less than £200. Not the simplest of tasks to be honest.
Frankly if I'm going to research things for the benefit of other people I'd rather it be something more meaningful, so I went off and found you a selection week's latest apps:
Hop: Previously known as Ping, Hop is a way of making your email time more interesting and make it more like an instant messenger. Rather than having to search back for old emails or reading through the not-so-easy-on-the-eyes quotes system many email clients use, Hop turns your email exchanges into a free flowing conversation. With document sharing, video and voice calls, Hop may well replace your native email app for the better. [Free]
Runtastic Six Pack: Designed to help you get that ever coveted sixpack, Runtastic Six Pack is the perfect alternative to those somewhat costly personal trainers. With a 10 week plan Runtastic will guide you towards achieving a flat, toned stomach with a variety of pre-set and custom workout videos. A quick and easy way to help you get yourself in shape and stay that way. [Free]
Thingiverse: From MakerBot the 3D printer company comes Thingiverse. This app gives you access to a community of designers who make their ideas a reality by using 3D printers. See what people have been making, or even share your own. [Free]
New Statesman: New to the native Newsstand app, New Statesman gives you access to one of the country's best known political and culture magazines. Individual issues can be purchased for £2.99, with monthly (£7.99) and annual (£79.99) subscriptions also available. [Free - with in-app purchases]
Marvel Creativity Studio: This app is aimed at kids, but let's be honest, comics haven't been exclusive to children for a good few decades. Marvel Creativity Studio lets you learn how to draw your favourite superheroes and even create your own comics. Great for any Marvel fan. [Free - with in-app purchases]
Bob Dylan Bootlegs: With a collection of previously unreleased tracks from between 1969 and 1971, this app is a must have for any Bob Dylan fan. With video interviews, interactive lyrics, and galleries of behind the scenes photos - this app provides great insight in Dylan's legendary 50+ year career. [Free]
Batman Arkham Origins: Christmas Eve in Gotham City and Batman has to deal with five assassins after the bounty on his head. Fight your way though the game and survive the night, with potential to unlock exclusive content for the console version of the game. [Free - with in-app purchases]
Help for Heroes - Hero Bears: Control two bears carrying a wounded soldier out of the battlefield, avoiding a variety of obstacles in an attempt to get yourself the best highscore. Better yet £1 from every download goes straight to the Help for Heroes charity. [£1.99]
Aviate: Aviate is cool little app designed to simplify how you browse your phone. With three navigational screens Aviate streamlines your phone to make it faster and more efficient. Just woken up? Aviate will bring up the weather apps and the day's schedule. Maybe you're driving? Aviate will show you traffic updates and directions.
At the moment Aviate is still in beta, but the first 500 lucky readers can use the invite code GIZMODOUK to get instant access. [Free]
Microsoft Remote Desktop: I have often found myself in situations where I really need my computer but I just don't have it with me, like if I've forgotten a file, or I need to do some work whilst out and about. With Microsoft Remote Desktop this will never be an issue ever again. You can connect to a PC remotely and access your files and resources from anywhere - provided you have a steady internet connection. [Free]
Malwarebytes Anti-Malware: Sadly one of the downsides Android has compared to iOS is that it is much easier to find your device infected with a virus or malware. So just like a PC you need to protect your device. Malwarebytes will detect and eliminate any malicious spyware or Trojans that are hiding in your phone or tablet, as well as preventing any unauthorised access to personal and location data. Best of all every new app you download will be scanned, so you'll never have to worry again. [Free]
HMV Music: The latest music app on the scene HMV music is here to offer all the best functions any music app has to offer. Hear a song you like but don't know what it is? HMV music will listen and identify for you. See an album cover you like the look of? HMV Music can scan it and open up a preview. But best of all, all the millions of tracks available to download are all DRM free - in your face iTunes! [Free]
Grand Theft Auto V - The Manual: GTA V is a big game, there's no doubt about that and you are bound to get lost or stuck somewhere along the way. With over 100 pages over the likes of game controls and tours through the neighbourhoods of Los Santos, this manual could well come in handy. But maybe you want to struggle through alone, you're a strong independent gamer who don't need no guide. Well the app also includes a fully interactive map to ease your navigation woes. [Free]
Gmail: It just got a bit easier to access your Gmail on Windows Phone. You can now go straight there with this app, rather than having to navigate through a pesky browser. This app contains all the basic needs for any email app with a nice simple interface. [Free]
Pinterest: All the features of desktop Pinterest available in an app! Keep up with the latest developments in your friends lives, pin and repin anything that takes your fancy. Everything you could want to do on Pinterest is now available in the palm of your hand. [Free]
Car Starter: Phones and cars are usually a pretty disastrous mix. Car Starter simplifies your phones interface to the bare essentials ready for those road based journeys and hopefully keep your attention on the road ahead. Save up to six contacts, access your music directly via touch or voice commands, and store two destinations for quick access directions. A must have if you spend a lot of time in the car. [Free]
UK Radio Streamer: A quick and easy way to find over 300 streaming radio stations from across the UK. Better yet the app plays in the background like a native music app so you can continue to use your phone unhindered. [Free]
GTA V - Maps: Have an interactive collection of maps for GTA V in the palm of your hand. With interactive walkthroughs of multiple locations, collectible locations and three different ways to view the greater Los Santos area, this app is perfect the those of you who haven't quite kicked the GTA V addiction just yet. [Free]

Troop 33 - Disney XD Nabi Tablet Commercial (Handler)
Hollywood, CALIFORNIA
Mark Edwards performed as the Tablet TK in a commercial shoot for the Disney XD channel. They were promoting the Star Wars edition of the Nabi Tablet. In a green screen filled room we had flash backs of the Phantom Menace but a blast acting with the two child actors. Mark did a great job and his armor looked amazing on camera.

In these divided times, how can we weave the caring community we all want to live in if we don't know our neighbors? Bring a spoon and a bowl, bring your family, bring a friend, bring an open heart, and drop in for a warm bowl of soup and lively conversations with friends new and old.
This event is hosted in partnership with the Old South Union Church as part of the Food Pantry's #neighborlove project. The #neighborlove project is an invitation to engage our neighbors with kindness in order to get to know them better because: how can we know a neighbor needs our help if we don't know them in the first place?
This event is entirely *FREE* to our whole community thanks to generous contributors, including: Old South Union Church, Olympic Pizza, Cece's Pizza & Catering, and the Cottage Bar & Restaurant.
Please come in through the Torrey Street side entrance of the church and make your way down the stairs or elevator to the Fellowship Hall. Thank you!
This event is fully accessible to our friends using mobility devices.
