Dax Coley's love of film began when his mom took him to see "Star Wars" when he was a kid.
"From that time on, I had a camera in my hand — starting with a SVHS, with a gradual progression to a High 8mm and now HD," shares the native Washingtonian, noting that his first film was of his junior high friends. "I shot pictures of my classmates, and edited them into a short movie with a soundtrack. The teacher who owned the video and graphic equipment liked my intuitive grasp of the process, and let me help him out and learn about film-making and graphics."
By 1999, he was the assistant editor at The Newseum, and since 2011 he has been on the video team at Verizon Digital Media Services. In his spare time, Coley has created trailers and films for a variety of art and music productions, including:
- Loud Records, LLC Mobb Deep: Burn
- "Sleeping Dogs Lie," by director Bobcat Goldwaith
- "A Woman by the Water," by director Seth Carmichael
- "Hollywood Gamble," a short film by director David Silverman
- "Manifest Hope," a short-form documentary winner at the 2010 New York International Independent Film Festival
Since 2013, Coley has been the video editor and a producer at InkandescentTV.

Events Make News at the Newseum: Standing between the U.S. Capitol and the White House on Pennsylvania Avenue and featuring dramatic vistas of Washington, the Newseum is a sought-after venue for conferences and special events. The essential features of the Knight Conference Center—size, technology, flexibility, furnishings, catering, and support systems—combine to create an environment that makes any meeting, press conference, or reception a success. But it is the views of the US Capitol, National Gallery of Art, and the National Mall that make each event unforgettable. With an atmosphere that is firmly tied to the history, power, and grandeur of Washington, the Newseum is destined to become a top choice for organizations that want to create memorable and unparalleled events in the nation's capital.

I wish I could find this again so that I could be sure to quote it accurately, but a couple of weeks ago, a friend posted on Facebook something to the effect of, "Writers write. Posers write tomorrow." Possibly, there was some other word in place of "Poser." The point is, that quote really kicked my butt, and has become yet another mantra for me, and I pass it along in the hope that it will inspire others.
There are days or weeks even when I don't feel like writing. I'm not in the mood; it's hard; I have so much life stuff or other work or whatever providing a perfect excuse for procrastination. But here's the truth: every day I don't write it becomes harder to write the next day. Every day I do, it's easier to pick up the pen again. Creativity is something like a muscle. If you work at it on a regular basis, it becomes easier, the strength of your words and use of your time that much more productive. If you get into a routine, you get things done. It's much like the theory of studying they teach you in school – if you study at about the same time and under the same conditions every day, you'll be preconditioned to focus on absorbing the knowledge and buckling down, and your time will be better spent. Writing is like that for me.
It's easy to become so daunted by the action or emotional scene in front of you that you fear your ability to write, but if you shy away from it, it will certainly never get written. Accept that it might not be right the first time. Or the second. Or the third. Commit to putting the work in. Accept that you might need to rewrite entirely. But sometimes you only find the proper path by allowing yourself to get lost in the woods, trying this way and that. But if you never wade in, you'll never find your way to Granny's house to save her from the Big Bad Wolf.

Kate Upton jumped up and issued twitter slaps to the members of the Baseball Writers Association of America (BBWAA) who didn't vote for her fiancé, Detroit starter Justin Verlander in the Cy Young Award voting released Wednesday.
Verlander wound up second in the voting to Boston starter Rick Porcello although Verlander got 14 first-place votes to just eight for Porcello.
At issue were the two voters who left Verlander entirely off their ballot. Had that not been the case, Verlander likely would have won what turned out to be the second-closest election in the last 46 years.137-132. Porcello had the most wins in baseball with 22 to go with a somewhat high 3.15 ERA while Verlander was 16-9 and 2.40.
Those two missing votes gnawed at model and actress Upton, who fired off a series of three tweets in defense of Verlander, who led the league in innings pitched, lowest batting average against, strikeouts and WHIP. In them she let fly:
"Had the majority of first place votes and two writers didn't have him on their ballots?!! Can you pick more out of touch people to vote? What two writers didn't have him on their ballots? @MLB keep up with the times and fire those writers."
She added some choice words that made her tweet all the rage,
Mets' starter Noah Syndergaard finished eighth in the National League Cy Young voting, then injected himself into the conversation.
His tweet in response was to the point: "It's OK Kate. I only got four votes … total. Nobody likes me."
Kate, who used some somewhat juicer language than we can repeat here, didn't seem to be OK with it. We're just sayin'.

A buffer overflow occurs when an application attempts to write data past the end (or, occasionally, past the beginning) of a buffer.
Buffer overflows can cause applications to crash, can compromise data, and can provide an attack vector for further privilege escalation to compromise the system on which the application is running.
Any application or system software that takes input from the user, from a file, or from the network has to store that input, at least temporarily. Except in special cases, most application memory is stored in one of two places:
stack—A part of an application's address space that stores data that is specific to a single call to a particular function, method, block, or other equivalent construct.
heap—General purpose storage for an application. Data stored in the heap remains available as long as the application is running (or until the application explicitly tells the operating system that it no longer needs that data). Class instances, data allocated with malloc, core foundation objects, and most other application data resides on the heap. (Note, however, that the local variables that actually point to the data are stored in the stack.)
Buffer overflow attacks generally occur by compromising either the stack, the heap, or both
What is stack memory?
The stack is divided up into units called stack frames. Each stack frame contains all data specific to a particular call to a particular function. This data typically includes the function's parameters, the complete set of local variables within that function, and linkage information—that is, the address of the function call itself, where execution continues when the function returns). Depending on compiler flags, it may also contain the address of the top of the next stack frame. The exact content and order of data on the stack depends on the operating system and CPU architecture.
Each time a function is called, a new stack frame is added to the top of the stack. Each time a function returns, the top stack frame is removed. At any given point in execution, an application can only directly access the data in the topmost stack frame. (Pointers can get around this, but it is generally a bad idea to do so.) This design makes recursion possible because each nested call to a function gets its own copy of local variables and parameters.
How buffer overflows can exploit stack memory?
In general, an application should check all input data to make sure it is appropriate for the purpose intended (for example, making sure that a filename is of legal length and contains no illegal characters). Unfortunately, in many cases, programmers do not bother, assuming that the user will not do anything unreasonable.
This becomes a serious problem when the application stores that data into a fixed-size buffer. If the user is malicious (or opens a file that contains data created by someone who is malicious), he or she might provide data that is longer than the size of the buffer. Because the function reserves only a limited amount of space on the stack for this data, the data overwrites other data on the stack.
As shown in Figure 2, a clever attacker can use this technique to overwrite the return address used by the function, substituting the address of his own code. Then, when function C completes execution, rather than returning to function B, it jumps to the attacker's code.
Because the application executes the attacker's code, the attacker's code inherits the user's permissions. If the user is logged on as an administrator (the default configuration in OS X), the attacker can take complete control of the computer, reading data from the disk, sending emails, and so forth. (In iOS, applications are much more restricted in their privileges and are unlikely to be able to take complete control of the device.)
In addition to attacks on the linkage information, an attacker can also alter program operation by modifying local data and function parameters on the stack. For example, instead of connecting to the desired host, the attacker could modify a data structure so that your application connects to a different (malicious) host.
What is heap memory?
The heap is used for all dynamically allocated memory in your application. When you use malloc, the C++ new operator, or equivalent functions to allocate a block of memory or instantiate an object, the memory that backs those pointers is allocated on the heap.
Because the heap is used to store data but is not used to store the return address value of functions and methods, and because the data on the heap changes in a nonobvious way as a program runs, it is less obvious how an attacker can exploit a buffer overflow on the heap. To some extent, it is this nonobviousness that makes heap overflows an attractive target—programmers are less likely to worry about them and defend against them than they are for stack overflows.
How Buffer Overflow is exploited in heap memory?
There are two ways in which heap overflows are exploited: by modifying data and by modifying objects. An attacker can exploit a buffer overflow on the heap by overwriting critical data, either to cause the program to crash or to change a value that can be exploited later (overwriting a stored user ID to gain additional access, for example). Modifying this data is known as a non-control-data attack. Much of the data on the heap is generated internally by the program rather than copied from user input; such data can be in relatively consistent locations in memory, depending on how and when the application allocates it.
An attacker can also exploit a buffer overflow on the heap by overwriting pointers. In many languages such as C++ and Objective-C, objects allocated on the heap contain tables of function and data pointers. By exploiting a buffer overflow to change such pointers, an attacker can potentially substitute different data or even replace the instance methods in a class object.

Give West Indies time, we'll cause a lot of damage: Andre Russell
Andre Russell's IPL stint with Delhi Daredevils has largely been spent recovering from a nagging hamstring injury. When he got a chance though, he smashed the ball around a fair bit and then, when he bowled, got smashed in return.
Andre Russell's IPL stint with Delhi Daredevils has largely been spent recovering from a nagging hamstring injury. When he got a chance though, he smashed the ball around a fair bit and then, when he bowled, got smashed in return. Here, Russell speaks to Wisden India on Chris Gayle, his role model, Darren Sammy, his close friend, and the improving standards of West Indian cricket.
Andre, there's evidently a fair bit of talent in West Indian cricket. But why is it that guys like you, Kieron Pollard, Adrian Barath and others have not performed consistently?
I think it's got to do with the divide among the islands, which causes problems within the team. But at the same time, I think it's getting better. I think that in the next couple of years, we can dominate cricket again. Most of our boys are big. Yes, we are getting older, but at the same time, we are becoming more mature. We are also playing around the world, so we are gaining in experience, which we are taking back home. So in the next two years, or within the next year, we will cause a lot of damage. As you have seen in the series against Australia, we are getting closer and closer.
Is it correct to say that the best cricketers from the Caribbean today are made in the limited-overs' mould and not for Test cricket?
I don't think so. We have a good bunch of guys, including youngsters that are being groomed for Test cricket. And that's a good sign because earlier we had the same group of players playing all three formats of the game. But now we are starting to get specialists for Tests and T20s. I think we are doing a good job and working things out the right way. Give us a couple of years and you'll see for sure that West Indies will be in the top five.
We all know about the financial problems in West Indies cricket. How important is it for cricketers like yourself to earn your money in the IPL and other similar tournaments?
Money is important of course, but it's equally important to gain the experience of playing in different parts of the world, making a name and building a career. Coming to India has been great because the T20 World Cup is coming up in Sri Lanka, and one gets the opportunity to play against all the top cricketers in the IPL. The experience we gather will boost our confidence before the T20 World Cup.
The inter-island T20 competitions in the Caribbean have become really important too, haven't they? After all, IPL teams keep an eye out for players who do well at the Champions League T20.
Yeah, it is important. Everyone is keeping an eye on Caribbean cricketers at the Champions League. And it's good. It's all short and spicy and fun; there's very little room to make mistakes. Unlike the IPL, the CLT20 doesn't let you make mistakes because everything happens so quickly.
Let's talk about you specifically, Andre; every once in a way, you beat teams single-handedly and we think you're the next big thing. But then you start under-performing. Why does that happen?
I think it's got to do with confidence. The more I play, the more confident I get. When I started out, I would think of only playing the big shots, and then I would get out. That's not good when you are starting your career. Everyone in my team knows what I can do, so they are always asking me to back myself. At the end of the day, like Chris [Gayle] tells me, it's up to me. I can contribute a lot with the bat and in the field, so the main thing is not to lose focus.
The big guy from Jamaica is Chris Gayle. What's your equation with him like?
Well, I think it's got to do with how well you know Chris [laughs]. If you don't know him, you'll think he is bitter and arrogant. But I think he is the perfect guy. It takes a little time to understand him, because even when he is joking, he has a serious look on his face. So you'll think 'is he serious or is he joking?' You also don't know if he is speaking to you. But I like him and I like being around him. And when I am playing with him, maybe in Jamaica, I just don't want to fail. If he doesn't get runs at the top, I tell myself that I have to make up for it. And when I get out and come back to the dressing room, I don't really like to look at him because I think I have let him down. He is a fun guy; he's the perfect role model for any youngster.
Also a word on Darren Sammy - he's quite the unlikeliest captain in world cricket, isn't he? But you are quite close to him, and were together hammering India in Ahmedabad last year...
Darren and I are very good friends. Off the field, we spend a lot of time together, chatting and catching up. He's had a rough time. No cricketer wants to fail, - getting hit, dropping catches... It's terrible, especially if you are the captain. During those times, I would go up to him and say, 'hey Sam, I will be so happy for you once this tour ends and you can go back home, take a chill, regroup, and come back again'. That was during the India series last year and he was really going through a phase. I don't know if he was communicating with his mates. It was important to give him positive vibes. When we batted together in the Ahmedabad one-dayer, we fed off each other and smashed a few balls across the ropes. Both of us scored runs, and it was so good to see him relax. We pumped each other up. And then, as you saw during the Australia series, he came back well. That's what happens in cricket. One day you get out badly, the next day you get a hundred. He is captaining the team well, and I think he is becoming more and more confident as a captain. Hats off to Sam.
Before wrapping up, it's stupid to not ask a Jamaican about his musical preferences. Are you a reggae guy, do you make annual pilgrimages to 56 Hope Road [Bob Marley's house]?
Oh, I like all kinds of music. Reggae... I enjoy calypso and R&B... a little alternative music, even Indian music which makes you move to the beat. I enjoy listening to all kinds of music as long it sounds good. I tried singing in school, but after a couple of lines [laughs], I realised I was better at cricket.

What a blinding day
Jaipur Travel Blog› entry 6 of 94 › view all entries
Train station to book tickets to Agra - DONE
To the Raj Mahal, Indias most famous cinema to book tickets for the evening - DONE
Sightseeing around the old town - LETS GO...
So , all our jobs done and it's still only ten, are we organised or what and I wasn't a scout and Ria wasn't a guide, who needs Baydon Powell !!! From the cinema we walk to the old city where we meet some great local people ( Jaipurians ???) . One took us into a Krishna temple , and explained the whole deal,- very peaceful and then the very next guy we see takes us up four flight s of rusty old stairs to the top of his building and the whole of Jaipur is laid out in front of us, we can see the lot, totally unreal.
We continue walking through the bazaars until we finally stop at a stall to buy some food, we are looking at what the guy is cooking and this random just buys us some - unfortunatley on closer inspection it looks like poo with insects in so at the next available moment its deposited somewhere other than our mouths. Nice of the guy though. I don't thnk it would happen in England somehow.
We walked further through the bazaar up to monkey temple- a really cool temple for the sun full of monkeys , goats and obviously the ever present cows ( no elephants though still, where are they all ??) An old holy guy who lives up by the temple walked up the hill with us and told us which kids were cheaters and other things to watch out for. What an amazing place, when theres time we'll try and put some shots onhere.
We just had time to dash back to the gaff and get changed before heading to the cinema. What an amazing place it is, a kind of cross between Barbies dream castle and Euro Disney, amazing decor inside, wildly over the top colours and furnishings while outside the city is crumbling??
What a fab day - and Agra tomorrow...

Summer is soon to be officially over for those in the northern hemisphere and for faction's it has been a dreammaking and heartbreaking period. Firstly, new 'Faction War: Rules of Engagement' guidelines have been brought in after a joint-effort from the members of the Faction Management team to help develop and further the efficiency and fairness for all factions on the server.
Along with that, over the recent month two factions have been descripted by the Los Santos Police Department and San Andreas Sheriffs Department, including a Mafia and a general street gang, both of them were tackled through a rather large casefile, all of which were released to the community recently. The LSPD and SASD had been working for a long time and put a lot of effort in to each case, both seemed to be tackled successfully and taken down. The two factions descripted were named "The Long Beach Mob" and "1826 Ryder Blocc Families", both of which have been known for fantastic role play and building their cases took years of hard work and elbow grease. The two had been taken down between the month of August and September, every person in each of the factions had been thanked for role playing well through-out he whole of LSPD/SASD's objective, and the two factions are praised for the mark they have left in LS:RP's history.
The casefile contains every monitored members, which is pretty much all of the active, made and great members in each of the factions, it gives a thorough description on what kind of crimes and illegal activity the character had been in to, along with how they act and a brief personality examination. The question many people are asking is which factions casefile will action be taken against next, that is a common question but thats up to the LSPD/SASD on which casefile they need to crack down on, well we'll have to wait and see.
Both of the factions have set something new up, the Long Beach Mob decided to try out a Russia Mafia and Ryder Blocc has been setting up a faction led by the old school and high ranking members of the original faction, both of which have come off successful and are doing well in the start-up process, the leaders are great and experienced which is loved by many community members, now let us just see what happens in the upcoming weeks/months.

I am amazed at the ridiculous solutions that are being offered to make our schools safe for our kids. The problem is obvious: We have armed lunatics attacking unarmed and helpless children and teachers. The solution is simple;: We have to provide firearms in our schools to even the score. Since our schools already are faced with inadequate funds, they can't afford to hire armed guards to stand around and wait for an attack. This would be a waste of manpower.
This simple solution won't bankrupt our schools. We need to select three or four male teachers in each school and assign them additional duty as security officers. Have them qualify with a pistol, strap pistols on their belts and wear arm bands designating them as security officers. They also should be given a modest boost in salary. The reason I didn't select female teachers is because it would be awkward for them to wear holsters on their belts, and it wouldn't be safe to keep pistols in purses or desks.
When it becomes common knowledge that teachers are armed, these lunatics will look elsewhere to vent their hatred on society.

Give Your Life Away – Because He First Loved Us
On the wall in my little kitchen hangs a simple black sign with white letters. I saw it one day on a website and knew I had to order it! The day it arrived I excitedly tore open the box, pulled out the sign, hammered a nail into the wall, and hung it in a spot where it would serve as a daily reminder of the only reason I am able to serve and love the people God brings into my life. The sign says,
"We love because He first loved us."
As I have gotten older, I have become more acutely aware of how pitifully weak I am. I have also become more aware than ever before of who the Source of all my living, serving, and loving others is. Sadly, my flesh often fights for attention, wanting others to look to me, rather than directing them to my Source of strength: The One who first loved us!
A few years ago, God allowed me to see a beautiful example of a woman who sought to direct others to Her Savior. It was one of those moments when your eyes are supernaturally opened, and you know that God has flung back the curtains, putting the spotlight on something that He wants you to see. I had the privilege of attending a conference where missionary/author Elisabeth Elliot was the main speaker. I couldn't take my eyes off of her. I was completely overwhelmed and fought back tears the entire day.
What was it about her that brought me to tears? Was it that she was beautiful, successful, or that she had published over 20 books? Was she an eloquent speaker? Fashionably dressed? Well educated with fancy degrees? Was she young and relatable? No. Other than publishing over 20 books, most of these things do not describe her.
She was an older, average looking woman, and was soft spoken. Her dress, although tasteful, was somewhat plain. She had graduated from college, but most of her "education" came from life, trials, and years spent on the mission field. What she had to share came from years of experiencing God through tragedy, loss, and living for Him. She never sought recognition, fame, to be published, and she never promoted herself. She was a simple woman who served God, and God decided to use her life to mentor others and to help make His name famous.
When the conference was over, she led over 2,000 women in a closing prayer. After the prayer, she began to make her way down the middle aisle to the back of the auditorium. As she started down the aisle, all 2,000 women stood and began to give her a standing ovation.
She immediately put her head down and thrust her hand over her head – pointing up. She wanted the glory to go to God alone.
Overwhelmed with the desire to emulate what God had allowed me to see, I burst into tears. That day I knew I wanted to serve God in a deeper way, by serving my family and those whom He has chosen for me to live life with. If He chose to do anything more than that, may it be to make HIS name famous.
When my life calling is finished, may the image that I leave be one of my head bowed, and my finger pointing up to the One who first loved me. His example of sacrificially giving His own life for my sin is the example that I desire to focus on every day. That daily reminder of undeserved grace is what keeps me serving the precious people who are placed in my life, and who are so desperately needful of being directed to Him in all things.

Lake Baikal 2005
A small trip for two weeks before a serious expedition, during which I was accompanied with my son Gleb as an assistant. We went to Severobaikalsk by train. There we took yacht to get to the opposite side, where the territory of Froliha preserve begins. From Ayaya bay we went to the Lake Froliha, where we spent several days. Then came across a small pass to a resort with thermal springs Khakusy. From it we returned to Severobaikalsk by an incident motor-launch. We spent too little for becoming familiar with Baikal.

We've got a very special competition launching today – with a prize that can't be bought.
We've acquired a 6-sheet poster site inside Mother London and we're giving it away to one lucky person/team for a week.
That's 1800mm x 1200mm of goodness in Mother's reception. You can even go and see it in-situ – and we might be able to pull a few strings and get a book crit too. If you're around that week, obviously. And that week is also Mother's Christmas party week. So it'll get maximum exposure.
To be in with a chance to win your first ever ad spot, simply send email@example.com a PDF submission to the brief below.
It's as open as that. Think clever, interesting and different. This isn't a wall at your degree show, it's a proper ad. But we want you to sell your wares. Be it your ads, your side projects or yourselves.
No latecomers. Judging happens that night and we need to supply the artwork by the Monday after.
- Just send a scaled down PDF for now. Not a 400 meg file. If it can't be emailed, it's too big. Save it as 'smallest file size'.
- It's a portrait poster and it's huge. Anything you send us must be able to be scaled. Don't even think about sending us a 300px x 300px grab off the internet. It'll look shit.
- InDesign is your friend. We'll artwork the thing, so don't panic about that. We'll just need your open working files if you win. Don't flatten anything.
- It doesn't have to be polished. You'll have as much chance of winning with a doodle as something that's Mac'd.
- Have fun.
Good luck.

HICKORY FLAT, Miss. (AP) – A teen from Myrtle has been killed in a car crash.
Media outlets report the wreck occurred 3 p.m. Saturday on Mississippi Highway 178 near Hickory Flat.
The Mississippi Highway Patrol says a Ford F350 was traveling east when it crossed the center line and collided head-on with a Chevrolet SUV driven by 18-year-old Alee Thomas. Thomas was airlifted to Region One Health in Memphis, Tennessee, where she died of her injuries.
A passenger in the SUV was taken to Baptist Hospital in New Albany with moderate injuries. The driver of the F350 was also taken to Baptist Hospital where he was treated and released with minor injuries.
The crash is still under investigation. The MHP says the driver of the F350 may have been under the influence of alcohol at the time of the crash.

Halloween Witches Abode Party {Free Printable}
It's Halloween Night and the nasty Witch 'Wicked Wendy' has flown in on her broomstick and kicked off her shoes for a quick refreshment between scary jobs!
What on earth do witches eat and drink? I hear you ask, well Pumpkin Scones with Blackberry Jam & Chantilly Cream of course! Washed down with some fresh Pumpkin Juice.
For snacks Wicked Wendy Witch and her friends are feasting on Human Eyeballs, Vampire Teeth, Bat Droppings and Dragon's Tongues! Yum!
…And of course, her book of spells and wicked potions are never far away!
We created Wicked Wendy's broom using Bamboo Sticks and a dried palm berry stem for the bristles.
These elements tied together with some string, and you have your very own rustic witches broom.
For the Pumpkin Scones, after preheating our oven to 180deg C, we combined 30g of softened Butter with 1/4 cup of Caster Sugar, until creamy.
Then we finely chopped 1 cup of pumpkin and put it in the microwave for 4 minutes. While it was hot, we mashed the pumpkin until smooth, and added it to the butter mixture.
Then, we beat in an egg. While those ingredients were mixing together, in a separate bowl, we sifted together 2 1/2 cups of Self Raising Flour, 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger, 1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon, and 1/4 teaspoon of nutmeg.
We folded the dry mixture into the wet mixture, alternating with splashes from 1/2 cup of milk.
When the mixture came together in a dough-like form, we turned it out on a floured surface, and kneaded it for about 2-3 minutes. Then we patted out a circle approx. 2cm thick.
We used a champagne glass to cut out the circles (why not?!) and placed them altogether on a greased baking tray.
15 minutes in a hot oven later and we had delicious freshly baked pumpkin scones ~ good enough for any evil witch and her friends!
Served warm with some Blackberry Jam & Chantilly Cream…perfectly wicked!

Handmade Paper Christmas Wreath {How to}
Create this Easy Do-it -Yourself Handmade Christmas Paper Wreath simply using a wreath base, an old book, some sticky tape, and a touch of Christmas Creative Flair!
You will Need:
1 x Sheet of 50mm thick Corflute (available at Office Supply Stores)
1 x 50cm piece of string
1 x Old Book
A Stanley Knife
A Pencil
Sticky Tape
Double Sided Poster Tape (optional)
Step 1
Decide how large you would like your wreath. Keep in mind that the wreath will end up being around 8-10cm wider when finished. Our wreath was cut at 45cm Diameter.
When you know the size you want, tie your piece of string to your pencil. Find the centre of the corflute and measure the size you need from the pencil to the end of the string.
Hold the string in the centre at your desired diameter in the centre with your finger, and draw/move the pencil around the edge, creating a circle as you do so.
Leave a gap of about 10cm, then repeat this step to create your inner circle.
Carefully cut your wreath shape out of the corflute with a stanley knife. Puncture two holes of the corflute on the wreath at the top, and cut a piece of string of about 20cm, then thread your string through the holes to create your hanger.
Step 2
Open your old book and start carefully pulling the pages out from the spine, so you have several individual pages.
Fold each page of the book into thirds, lengthways, to form a zig zag fold.
It's a good idea to fold several pages, so you can get sticking easily with lots of pages ready.
Step 3
Begin sticking your folded book leaves to your wreath base with an overlap of the edge of about 5cm. Slightly fold the bottom of each book leaf under so it sits up a little.
Use as much sticky tape as you need, you won't see it at the end.
Continue to add book leaves on top of each other – spaced about 5cm, and overlapping, around the entire wreath.
step 4
When you have completed the first layer, continue to add your folded book leaves on a second level (picture 4), making sure there is a 2-3cm gap between the edge of the first layer, and the edge your next layer, but also a 1-2cm gap between where you are sticking the leaves and the inner edge of the wreath (to leave room for a 3rd layer) picture 5).
step 5
When you have completed your second layer, begin adding book leaves for a third layer (picture 6).
However, this time, fold the bottom of the folded leaf under the inside wreath edge, and stick at the back, giving the wreath a nice finish, and covering up your 'mechanics' (picture 7).
Again, use as much sticky tape as you need to, especially on the back, as it's clear and won't be seen.
step 6
When you have added book leaves all the way around your wreath, and made sure the inner edge has a nice clean finish, place & tape the last leave under the first book leaf, to create a seamless fan effect.
Decorate your wreath with Paper decorations such as stars or holly and attach with double sided poster tape if desired, or just use sticky tape folded onto itself.

Happy Paper Wreath Making & Have a Very Merry Christmas! xo Amy

With New Complaint, U.S. Says Chinese Auto Subsidies Are a No-No
Matt | On 17, Sep 2012
President Obama is growing tired of China and its black market ideas about trade. So, they will file a formal complaint on Monday with the World Trade Organization.
The issue stems from the allegation that China is subsidizing its auto and auto parts suppliers so their products will have an easier time entering the market. China is trying to position itself in the U.S. auto market, but it hasn't caught on yet.
Calling China out on trade with seven weeks before the presidential election is a purely political move, in my eyes. The president has had years to get tough on China. They have done this at times in the past with a lot of bark and little bite. But, remember China our financial pimp and we cannot bite the hand that feeds us debt.
There is also the trade gap between the two nations that is valued at $280 billion, according to CNN Money. This means China is flooding our market with tons of goods and we are not able to get our products in their country in an even trade.
Subsidies or not, I'm not sure how I feel about a Chinese car. It's not as if they are bringing their A-game with the other products they make. When I think of Chinese production, I see them taking a lot of direction from the U.S. by manufacturing our products. Or, in some cases like the fake Apple stores, they blatantly copy our ideas. It's not often that I think about quality and innovation from start to finish in Chinese products.
We shall see how long this "tougher" U.S. stance plays out with China. *sigh*

A/N I know this chapter is fairly short but I'm a little stuck on how I want to end this and, you've all waited so long, I wanted to at least give you something. So, I broke the final chapter into two. I hope you enjoy this installment.
The world instantly started moving in slow motion for Steve. He had been watching Jacob closely, the kid's finger hadn't even been on the trigger, so the shot hadn't come from his gun. Which left only Hesse!
Even as the sound of the gun shot ricocheted off the walls, Steve was holstering his gun and throwing himself through the air, a move reminiscent of his high school football days, before becoming the quarterback - except this time his motivation was much more than winning the state championship. This time his little brother's life was on the line. And he prayed he was not too late.
His nightmares of trying - and failing - to save his mother, his father, even Mary, came crashing back to the surface of his mind! Although, the death of his sister had been created solely in his subconscious, the loss of his parents was all too real. And, now, Hesse was trying to hurt Steve more than he had ever hurt him before, saving the best for last, so to speak. Jacob. Steve's newfound little brother, had become Hesse's new target. It wasn't that Steve loved Jacob more than he had his parents, but he had grown quite fond of him over the past week or so, a feeling which could possibly be called love - something the SEAL wasn't quite ready to analyze just yet. Plus, Jacob was just an innocent kid. Somehow losing a child always felt worse.
He heard the breath explode from Jacob's lungs as he made contact, tackling the kid to the floor of the warehouse with no regard for his own life. In the same move, he wrapped himself around Jacob, shielding him from Hesse... but Hesse wasn't there! Wait. He was there, but he was laying on the ground.
Steve's eyes swept the room, finally falling on his partner, smoke still rising from the barrel of his gun. Danny gave him a quick nod to indicate everything was under control. Taking Danny at his word, Steve pushed himself to his knees. In one swift movement, he tucked Jacob's gun beneath his waistband at the small of his back, then checked on Jacob, whose eyes were transfixed by a not so still Hesse. "You okay?" No response. Steve hooked a finger under the kid's chin and turned his face to meet his own. "Jacob. Are you okay?" Jacob nodded but his eyes were somewhat glazed over. That's when Steve took notice of the feverish heat emanating off the kid, the sweat pouring down his face. "Crap, kid, you're really burning up." Looked like another trip to the hospital was in their immediate future. He ran a hand through the boy's hair, then gave his neck a quick squeeze before returning his attention to his partner who had already made his way over to Hesse. Steve stood and tossed the final set of handcuffs, reserved specially for Hesse, over to Danny, who made quick work of slapping them on the wrists of their long time adversary. After that, the detective began tearing parts of Hesse's shirt into strips to form a makeshift bandage.
"Good work, Danno," Steve said sincerely. "Thanks."
Danny gave him his trademark lopsided grin which was always a precursor to some snarky comment or another, but the words never came. Instead, Danny's eyes whipped over to something a few feet to Steve's left. The SEAL turned just as Jacob snatched the gun from Steve's waistband and aimed it at Hesse, once again.
Now, Steve didn't really care much whether this monster lived or died. In fact, not too long ago, he had wanted him dead himself. But Steve couldn't allow Jacob to be the one to pull the trigger. He didn't want Jacob to ever have to deal with the emotional repercussions of taking a human life - monster or not.
"Jacob, kid, you don't want to do this."
"He killed my mother! He deserves to die!"
"I know how you feel," Steve ventured.
"How could you possibly know?"
"He killed my father, too."
Jacob's attention flicked to him for an instant, then returned to Hesse. "You're lying." The gun was shaking even in his two handed grip. "Why should I trust you?" He jutted a chin toward Hesse. "He says you've been lying to me since the first day I met you."
"Consider the source, Jacob." Steve knew he hadn't been totally truthful but he hadn't lied in the way that Hesse was trying to lead Jacob to believe. He'd been trying to protect the kid, not hurt him. He slowly made his way to Jacob's side, taking advantage of his current lack of focus.
Jacob didn't know who to believe anymore. He felt sweat dripping into his eyes again but couldn't swipe it away without taking one hand off the gun. Exhaustion had his arms lowering somewhat, the gun felt so much heavier than it had just moments earlier.
Hesse started to say something but, before he could aggravate the situation even further, Danny took one of the strips of cloth and stuffed it into the killer's mouth.
"Quiet, you," Danny told him, pointing at him as if reprimanding a child.
Hesse glared up at him but, with his hands cuffed behind his back, there was little he could do about it. Nor was he able to do much more than buck in surprise when Danny used more force than necessary to press the makeshift bandage to the wound. Then the detective hauled him to his feet, not caring at all when Hesse grunted in pain.
"Get him out of here, Danno," Steve said, more request than order.
Jacob turned at the sound of his voice, surprised to find him so close, then whipped back to face the now standing Hesse and Danny. "No," he yelled, bringing the gun up to bear on Hesse once again.
"Jacob," Steve whispered gently. "This isn't the way."
A tear slipped free and slid down Jacob's cheek and he did his best to wipe it away with one shoulder. "It's the only way. It's justice."
"No, it isn't, buddy. C'mon, give me the gun."
"No," Jacob insisted, mortified that the word had come more as a whimper than anything else.
"Your mom wouldn't have wanted this, Jacob."
His hands shook more than ever as his finger found the trigger, wanting desperately to put a bullet in the retreating back of Victor Hesse. "It should've been me," he said, so softly that if Steve hadn't been so close he never would have heard it.
"Hey," Steve told him sternly. "Don't ever say that!"
"She said it. She said it should've been me," he muttered, taking one hand off the gun and wrapping his arm around his middle, as if in physical pain. And, with his recent illness, maybe he was.
"Who said that, Jacob?"
"My mom," he admitted. Before Steve could argue that, Jacob said, "I'm all alone, now. I've got no one."
It was impossible for McGarrett to miss the tears in the kid's voice, the unbearable pain he was trying so hard to hold back. Steve quickly decided that now was the time for him to cross that emotional threshold and beat his way through the barriers Jacob had so carefully erected. The same walls Steve himself had put up all those years ago. But Steve's dad hadn't allow him to suffer alone. Steve certainly wasn't going to let his kid brother do it.
He easily removed the gun from the trembling hands and pulled Jacob toward him. As he wrapped his arms around the quaking shoulders, the boy's struggles were weak but persistent. Jacob wasn't alone, not by a long shot, but Steve knew that now would not be the best time to tell Jacob that he was his brother. Not after what Hesse had said about Steve lying to him, and certainly not with the kid's current emotional state. So, he just whispered into Jacob's sweat soaked hair, "You're not alone, buddy. I'm here and I'm not going anywhere."
Jacob practically vibrated with the effort of keeping the torrent of emotion coursing through him under control. He gripped Steve's shirt with one fist, alternating between pushing him away and pulling him closer.
"It's okay, kid," Steve told him. "Everyone's gone. It's just you and me, okay? You have to let it out before it kills you, buddy. Just, please, trust me enough to help you through this."
Jacob shook his head vigorously, still making a valiant effort to extricate himself from McGarrett's hold. But, after a brief moment, a sob tore itself out of the boy, literally folding him in half in Steve's arms. A second one quickly followed. Then another. Steve supported Jacob's weight at first, then lowered him gently to the ground, coming to his knees next to the boy, holding him tight against his chest. The sobs continued to shake the small form in his arms, he could feel the tears soaking his shirt, as the kid finally grieved over the loss of his mother. Not to mention the pain of the years spent being beaten by Scotty, something else Steve was going to want to talk to him about. But not now. The kid had enough to deal with, without Steve opening up old wounds.
Finally, the sobs receded and Jacob leaned even more heavily against Steve's chest. Upon closer examination, Steve saw the heavy lidded, unfocused eyes. Steve tucked Jacob's head beneath his chin, slipped an arm beneath his knees and scooped him up into his arms.
The kid struggled weakly against such a blatant display of vulnerability. "I c'n walk," he insisted, though his voice was not much more than a mumble.
"Sure, you can, kid," Steve replied, eating up the floor of the warehouse with a purposeful stride. "Sure, you can."

Okey this is hard- what is this blog about really…
Well it's about me; The things I see, places I've been, happy, dark, weird thoughts I have and usually brutal honesty on things like depression and suicide; because I can handle anything from people except pity.
Writing is the one thing that gives me purpose in my life because for some weird reason, it feels damn good freezing moments and feelings, and storing them in a place I can always go back to unbury them. And I literally live for that ; to collect moments I can write about.
I have a soft spot for books, films, cats, and a million other things you're better placed finding out from my writing. I like exploring other people's soft spots as well (That sounded wrong but move on swiftly…) so if you have recommendations for blogs you've also liked, holler and I'll check them out!
P.S- I also write for Storyzetu.com if you're one for stories from Kenya.

"cyanotype gone bad"
The photographer, Tom Hart, explains:
This is what happens (I think) when the cyanotype material is too thick and is allowed to pool. It crystallizes. This was an attempt on a very smooth, nonporous board. Nevertheless, it gave me a chuckle. Slight levels adjustment after the scan to "enhance" the image. :-)
Original image shot with Bronica SQ ai and Plus X. Negative printed out on transparency. Image is 7" x 7".
It was Balzac who first said "Chance is the greatest artist."
The quote is often misattributed to later writers/artists who repeated it.
I love the accident of the crystallization here, love the end result.

3/15 Canada: Udpate on Immigration Raids and What you can do

- 3/15 Canada: Udpate on Immigration Raids and What you can do
Link here: http://noii-van.resist.ca/?p=5478
As many of you have probably already heard, Canadian Border Service Agency
officers conducted raids at number of construction work sites yesterday,
including one raid which was filmed for a border security reality TV show.
In a show of solidarity and rage, approximately 80 members of the
community, including families of those detained as well as activists and
community organizers, attended an emergency rally today.
An Indigenous woman, Diana Thompson, said of her husband, "He is a great
person and a great father and spouse and I'm here to help him any way I
can. I think that the immigration services needs to be more lenient on
families to keep them together, especially when they have small children.
I feel frustrated and sad and angry and hurt. Who is this government to
say who can stay?"
Other family members spoke about their loss, their fear and their anger
over this clear violation of privacy, safety and security of those
One of the men being detained said: "We are not illegals. We are just like
These workers have families, children and loved ones they are being torn
apart from. We know that many of these workers are fleeing structural
violence and poverty, only to be exploited for their labour and forced to
live a life in hiding and precarity here in Canada. The violence of
deportation and detention is quickly being masked under the rhetoric of
illegals and a profit-driven entertainment show. We stand with these
brothers who have been arrested and detained, as well as their family
members, to declare that No Worker and No Human Being Is Illegal.
Much of this news has spread through emails and social media and word of
mouth, please take a minute to share these links below which include
in-depth interviews with family members and community organizers:

"Border Security: Canada's Front Line" is a collaboration between National
Geographic Channel, Vancouver-based Force Four Entertainment for Shaw
Media. The show is sensationalist, embedded reality TV with CBSA officers.
Force Four Entertainment released a pathetic statement this afternoon on
their Facebook account.

We are trying to confirm the numbers of raids and people detained. This is
of course hard to confirm.
Our members received phone calls from three job sites which were raided
and men in detention are reporting that there are detainees from multiple
job sites. There appears to be at least 20 or so men detained between the
cells under the VPL and the cells at the Vancouver Airport.
Some of these men will have detention review hearings in the new few days,
but we do not know if they want large numbers of people to attend and we
want to respect their privacy (particular in this time of heightened
scrutiny) unless we are explicitly told otherwise.
We believe most of these men will be deported soon, likely within days.
Some maybe released but likely have to appear for their deportations.
We are supporting some family members right now, if you would like to
support individual family members (particularly financially or otherwise),
please be in touch with us.

Mary's Maine Bars
This recipe is in partnership with OXO. They have partnered with Dorie Greenspan and bloggers to donate $100 to Cookies for Kids' Cancer for each post written! In full disclosure, I received the products featured in exchange for my participation. All opinions are 100% my own.
You know how they say you're either mostly a baker or mostly a cook? Well, I most certainly do not fit into the baker category. To conceptualize and actually execute a cake or cookies or any baking item is a process. For this post I was so happy to be able to just use Dorie Greenspan's recipe. That means zero thinking on my part and it all goes toward a really great cause. OXO is donating $100 to Cookies for Kids' Cancer for each blog post written and I'm thrilled to be a part of that giving.
Plus, I have some pretty great molasses bars and a hearty smile to show for it. I appreciate any cause that gives back to those less fortunate or going through a hard time in some way. The Cookies for Kids' Cancer organization is one that I'm happy to support.
Perhaps one of the reasons I am not a huge baker is I don't tend to have too much of a sweet tooth, although pregnancy and now my postpartum life has changed that. But when I do decide to go crazy on some sweets, I choose something that's either caramel or molasses-based. When I had the opportunity to choose one of the featured cookies from Dorie Greenspan's new cookbook, Dorie's Cookies, I immediately nabbed Mary's Maine Bars. Made of all these warm flavors like cinnamon and cloves and molasses, they are absolutely perfect for my taste!
Now when it comes to actually making sweet treats, I don't really have great equipment for that. I'm so grateful to OXO for providing me with their Glass 3 Qt Baking Dish with Lid, Glass 2 Qt Baking Dish with Lid, Brownie Spatula, and Illuminating Digital Hand Mixer. All of their products made it so easy to bring this recipe to you. I have a stand mixer that I use regularly, but I absolutely loved the hand mixer. It illuminates! This is perfect to help me see exactly what's happening in the bowl. The big bonus to this item is that it has these nifty digital controls that are totally intuitive, helping you to steadily increase or decrease speed.
But wait! THERE'S MORE!
Storage is always an issue in everyone's kitchen, right? It seems like it just doesn't matter how much storage someone may have, those cabinets quickly fill up with kitchen "essentials", leaving you with a big mess in every drawer. When it comes to kitchen items, I appreciate any that keep this in mind and provide a nice design that makes storage easy and clean. With this hand mixer, there is an on-board beater clip, a wrap and secure cord, and a stable base so you can store it upright if you choose.
Now let's get to the baking dishes. I used the 3 Qt for this recipe and loved the design of it. Especially with the lid on, it was slick and easy to attach and detach. The OXO bakeware is BPA-free (something I actively seek in all products I own) and made from borosilicate glass which can withstand extreme temperatures. Like, let's say you are pregnant and a better pregnant planner than I was and so you make some enchiladas to freeze. And let's say you are now with an actual baby outside of your belly and so you want to take those enchiladas and pop them straight from the freezer to the oven. You can do that! And you'll be Super Mom. Yasss, girl, yasss.
Mary's Maine Bars
- 1½ cups (204 grams) all-purpose flour
- 1½ cups (204 grams) whole wheat flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
- ¾ teaspoon ground cloves
- 1 cup (200 grams) sugar
- ¾ cup (180 ml) unsulfured molasses
- ½ cup (120 ml) flavorless oil, such as canola
- 1 large egg, at room temperature
- ¼ cup (60 ml) buttermilk, at room temperature
- Sanding or granulated sugar, for sprinkling
- Center a rack in the oven and preheat it to 350 degrees F. Generously butter a 9-x-13-inch baking pan or coat it with baking spray. Line it with a piece of parchment paper.
- Whisk both flours, the baking soda, salt and spices together.
- Working with a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with a hand mixer, beat the sugar, molasses, oil and egg together until smooth. Add half of the dry ingredients and pulse the mixer to start blending them in, then beat on low speed only until the flour disappears into the dough. Pour in the buttermilk and mix to combine. Add the remainder of the dry ingredients and, still working on low, beat until incorporated. You'll have a smooth, heavy, sticky dough. Scrape the dough into the pan, using a knife or offset spatula to get it into the corners and to even the top as best you can. Sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake for 26 to 30 minutes, rotating the pan after 15 minutes, or until the top is dry and a tester inserted into the center comes out clean. Transfer the pan to a rack.
- After 10 minutes, run a blunt table knife around the edges of the pan, invert the Maine bars onto a rack, peel away the paper, turn it over onto another rack and let cool. When you're ready, cut it into 20 bars (about 1¾ x 3¼ inches).
- Maine Blueberry BarsOnce the dough is mixed, gently stir in 1 cup fresh blueberries. Or, if you're making this in any season but summer, use 1 cup dried blueberries that you've soaked in very hot tap water for about 10 minutes, drained and patted dry.
- Maine Apple Butter BarsOnce the dough is spread evenly in the pan, dot the top with spoonfuls of apple butter (spiced or plain) — you'll need about ¼ cup — and use a blunt table knife to swirl it into the dough to create a nicely marbled surface.
