Today a lovely little warbler flew into our front window. On a beautiful spring day with life bursting all over, this tiny yellow bird is struggling to live. I am watching over it but do not want to touch it as to cause further harm. I am praying it is just in shock and will survive.
At this moment, the fate of that little bird is more important to me than all the petty little people of the world. The flying monkeys who continue to go out of their way to harass me and others. Hypocrites calling others hypocrites. Everything they accuse me of they have done themselves and then some. The difference is they are a gang of thugs, who think they have power over others and can control what people say or think.
I have struggled to keep you out of my thoughts and it gets easier everyday. I suggest you try it.
The birds outside my window are more important to me and more entertaining.

The Amityville Horror (1979)
Running Time: 117 minutes
Director: Stuart Rosenberg
Cast: James Brolin, Margot Kidder, Rod Steiger.
Ltd Ed Steelbook Out June 26th 2017 from Second Sight Films
The Amityville Horror began life as a book by Jay Anson, based on apparently true events that took place on Long Island in 1975. Naturally, the book then became a film, directed by 'Cool Hand Luke' Director Stuart Rosenberg. Both the film and book tell the story of the Lutz family, who move in to their dream home to begin a new life together. They obtain the house at a knock down price due to its past. The previous family were killed in their beds, by their son who claimed voices told him to murder. Such a horrific incident of violence within the all American home seems to have stepped off the screen itself, life imitating art.
In a style reminiscent of Halloween, the film opens with a brief depiction of the murders committed; a stylish opening prologue that swiftly sets the scene for the rest of the film. Events then jump to a year later when newly married George and Kathy Lutz, along with her three children move in to the house which immediately starts exhibiting some strange paranormal phenomenon. George's behaviour and physical appearance starts to worryingly change and Kathy's daughter Amy finds a new 'imaginary' friend; Jody. Moving forward day by day, it becomes very clear that the family and those who come in to contact with the house are in grave danger.
By the time The Amityville Horror was released in 1979, iconic films such as The Exorcist, Carrie, Halloween and The Shining had already set the bar for horror exceptionally high. Arriving at the tail end of the 1970's then, it was no mean feat to try and craft yet another great movie to add to that illustrious canon. Accomplished director Rosenberg hits many of the right notes, the opening haunting theme has a disturbing childlike quality and there are some well placed Bernard Hermann style strings used later in the film. The house itself is also imposing, even Hitchcock-esque, with its two glowing windows carved out like eyes. Stepping inside the house with the Lutz's for the first time, a high shot down from the staircase further evokes that Hitchock feel. It's a succinct and strong start, putting the viewer immediately inside the world of the Amityville Horror.
The film works best when it implies rather than shows. Of course we have to take in to account that the film is now nearly forty years old but dated special effects aside, it feels that it loses some of its strength as soon as it starts to try and depict red eyed demons and gateways to hell. It is far more disturbing to see young Amy having a conversation with 'Jody' whilst staring at an empty rocking chair, or the babysitter desperately trying to scratch her way out of an apparently locked cupboard.
When the film starts to try and explain events, it loses its way somewhat. We are introduced to George's work colleague and his girlfriend, who has an acute sensitivity and knowledge of the occult and events become more literal, leaving little room for imagination or possible scepticism. It harms the story in the sense that surely the family would leave the house at this point rather than remaining even longer for the final climax. Equally, George's transformation happens a little too quickly. After moving in, he spends most of the film in a pale, red eyed glaze. A slower burn would have been more disturbing and raised less questions.
There are many other threads left undeveloped. Kathy's close relationship with Father Delaney (an excellent and scene stealing Rod Steiger) is left hanging and Sergeant Gionfriddo's initial appearance seems to serve little further purpose. More depth in these areas would have elevated the film, allowing the viewer to become even further immersed in the world created. Having said that, the film maintains its distinct 70's charm and you can't deny the appeal of a 'true story' retelling.
This Blu-Ray release has a raft of special features including interviews with James Brolin, Meeno Peluce, composer Lalo Schriffer and screenwriter Sandor Stern. Alongside the obligatory trailer and TV spot features, there is also 'My Amityville Horror', the story behind the film with Daniel Lutz and 'For God's Sake Get Out', a retrospective of the film with Kidder and Brolin. A nice extra package for those wanting more.

Nest's loan from the Department for Work and Pensions loan has soared by 30 per cent to £387m in just 12 months, its annual report shows.
To the end of March 2015 the auto-enrolment scheme's loan stood at £387m, up from £300m a year ago.
A Nest spokeswoman says: "The loan covers set-up and operational costs incurred in the period before charge revenues meet the full costs of the scheme.
"As the only provider required by law to be open to any employer, we have to be ready for very high volumes. That means we've had to continue developing our system capacity and processes to meet changing demands."
However, Nest's income from member contributions and annual management charges nearly trebled as the scheme took on 9,000 new employers and around one million members.
It received £5.9m in the year to April 2015, compared to £1.9m in 2013/14.
Outgoing chief executive Tim Jones was paid a total of £250,000 in 2014/15, including a £20,000 bonus. The previous year he earned £315,000 including an £81,000 "contractual terminal" bonus.
Nest has a 0.3 per cent annual management charge on each member's fund in addition to a 1.8 per cent charge on each new contribution.
The scheme now has over two million members, compared to around one million in 2013/14, and provides pensions for over 14,000 employers, compared to just under 4,700 last year.
Assets under management have increased to £420m up from £104m last year.
Over 99 per cent of members are invested in Nest's default fund.
Chairman Otto Thoresen says: "I'm pleased to report that Nest has been performing well, successfully managing millions of pounds on behalf of its members and helping thousands of employers set up their schemes and meet their duties.
"But the number of employers coming under the auto enrolment duties increases exponentially from now until 2018, so the hard work has only just started. Our number one priority is making sure we are prepared for the volumes to come."

Erin's Review
Wow, we should have polls more often! We added about 10 more Thai places to our list, so thanks to everyone for the great recommendations! Since the majority (12) voted for us to go to Tum Rup Thai, off we went. I really had no knowledge of what the place was like other than viewing their website, so I went in with an open mind. I believe this restaurant and the whole development in that area of uptown is pretty new, but I'm not certain of that. The restaurant seemed pretty new at least, and had a very good vibe. We didn't have a reservation, but didn't have to wait for a table at 7 on a Friday. I do think I saw a few people waiting, but never for too long. About 20 minutes into our time there, the lights changed to "mood lighting" by dimming significantly. Normally this would be fine, but now the first thought that enters my mind is the fact that it will be THAT much more difficult for me to take photos since I refuse to use my flash! You can still get the idea though, despite the darkness/slight blurriness.
Allison had already ordered the cream cheese puffs, which are a favorite of mine. These were pretty standard and definitely hit the spot because I was starving. It was pretty busy so it did take a little long to get our drink order in. I ended up ordering Goose Island's 312 in memory of our recent trip to Chicago (also with Jake and Allison).
Since I figured the portions would be huge, we decided to just split an appetizer and entree. I'm very glad we did that - an entree would have been WAY too much for just me at least. The fried spring rolls we got were great - they came out piping hot.
I'm glad that one of the comments on our poll suggested the green curry. If it wasn't for this, I probably would have just stuck with my normal order of pad thai but I'm glad I branched out! This curry was DELICIOUS. I loved the sauce and it had a great variety of vegetables. We got chicken but I think shrimp would have been better. We were just feeling a little cheap and didn't want to spring for the extra $3.
There were a number of other dishes that I would have loved to try here, but since we have added so many Thai places, I'm sure I'll get to try them at other places! I enjoyed Tum Rup Thai - the service was pretty good, the restaurant was very well decorated and had a good vibe, and the food was awesome.
Ben's Review
Jake and Allison called us up earlier last week to make plans, so we asked them to join us for Thai food on Friday. The results of our poll directed us to Tum Rup Thai on Lake St. in uptown.
I dropped Erin off at the door and drove around to find a parking spot, not always easy in uptown. I circled around the block and decided to suck it up and park in the lot behind the restaurant, which is a shocking $1.50 per half hour! Erin called while I was parking to say that Tum Rup Thai will validate parking, although we weren't sure of what the specific deal was. (free parking? discounted? we didn't know)
I walked in and Jake, Allison, and Erin were all enjoying an order of cream cheese puffs while Jake suspiciously eyed his Thai bloody mary (he wasn't sure what was in it). I quickly ordered a big bottle of Fat Tire while I scoped out the menu. The restaurant was at capacity - I didn't see an empty table anywhere, but I also didn't see anyone waiting for a spot. I like the interior, it was hip and trendy looking, exactly what I would expect from an uptown restaurant in a newer building.
We ordered some fried spring rolls to share, which were fantastic, while we decided what to have for our entree. I convinced Erin to share a meal with me as we had heard that the portions were more than one person could handle. We took Jess's recommendation and got the green curry with chicken instead of shrimp. Jake and Allison also shared and they got some sort of pad thai with the "not quite melting your face off" heat, Erin and I stuck to whatever the "normal" heat is for our curry.
Our food came out in a reasonable time, with our curry with vegetables and chicken in a bowl, and a plate with white rice covered in a bowl. They also gave us another plate so we could split our food up. One thing that I didn't think of at the time, but there was no fee for splitting a meal like you see in a lot of places. This was really nice given the portions were enormous, if I had ordered the curry by myself I would've easily gotten two meals out of it.
Our curry was excellent, there was a good mixture of vegetables and chicken, and it was spicy enough to be tasty but not uncomfortable. Jake and Allison's pad thai was also enormous and it tasted great as well. Erin couldn't even finish her portion so I got to clean up her leftovers, so we all left full. I love being able to split a $11 item when we go out, it really makes it more affordable.
To follow up on the parking situation: we went to Stella's afterwards for a couple drinks (and randomly ran into Erin's sister). When we finally made it back to the car at midnight our bill to leave the parking lot - $13.50. Damn. Just one more reason that I go to uptown so infrequently.
The ratings for Tum Rup Thai:
- Service: Our server was average. Our food came out promptly, but he wasn't engaging and he was definitely hovering when we were about to pay.
- Food: Excellent curry and pad thai. I would go back but we now have a bunch of Thai places to go to :)
- Drinks: Full bar, just an 'ok' beer selection, in my opinion.
- Ambiance: There was a good crowd at Tum Rup Thai that night, it was easy to carry a conversation but it also felt busy.
- Price: Our bill was $33 before tip, which I thought was great for a meal with drinks and appetizers.
- Convenience: Parking is a pain in the ass, but that's a given in uptown. You could take the bus, but it's not convenient for us.

Highly recommended for atmosphere and food

The anatomy of the crime scene: On narrative and performative practices in the investigation of crime's place and action
Research output: Contribution to conference › Paper › Research › peer-review
- The anatomy of the crime scene
Final published version, 105 KB, PDF-document
Kjetil Sandvik
Crime scenes are constituted by a combination of a plot and a place. The crime scene is a place which has been in a certain state of transformation at a certain moment in time, the moment at which the place constituted the scene for some kind of criminal activity. As such the place has been encoded in the way that the certain actions and events which have taken place have left a variety of marks and traces which may be read and interpreted. Traces of blood, nails, hair constitutes (DNA)codes which can be decrypted and deciphered, in the same way as traces of gun powder, bullet holes, physical damage are signs to be read and interpreted. Thus the place carries a plot (a narrative) which at first is hidden and scattered and has to be revealed and pieced together through a process of investigation and exploration with the aid of different forensic methods, eyewitnesses and so on; - through reading and interpretation. During her investigation the detective's ability to make logical reasoning and deductive thinking as well as to make use of her imagination is crucial to how the crime scene is first deconstructed and then reconstructed as a setting for the story (that is the actions of crime). By decoding this reconstructed place the story itself is also reconstructed: the crime is being solved, the murderer revealed.
An important element in this narrative and performative practise is the use of simulation as a storytelling device. Simulation is a well-known method in investigation of crime scenes in order to reconstruct how the actual crime may have taken place. The profiling expert of the investigation team places herself in the role of the criminal, trying to gain insight into the criminal's psychology, way of thinking and reasoning and so on (like detective Lacour does in the Danish TV series Unit One (Rejseholdet). Using simulation as a narrative and peformative practise implies that the investigators play the roles of potential murderers, helpers, victims, witnesses in order to reconstruct the chain of events (the crime) in time and space.
This paper analyses a selection of crime fiction TV series in order to demonstrate how crime scenes in these series are reconstructed and interpreted by the investigators through narrative and performative practises through which a specific virtual (in the sense of potential or possible) story space and a specific plot is being simulated. The selected series range from more colourful and para-psychological based methods of investigation in series such as The Profiler and Medium to more realistic practises such as those found in series like Unit One and CSI. This analysis will be broadened by applying knowledge about how real-life crime scene investigations are carried out by the real 'unit one' of the Danish police (Rigspolitiets Kriminaltekniske Center) in order to reveal some major differences compared to crime fiction such as the fact that police detectives are not admitted entrance to the crime scene before the technicians have concluded their work collecting, preserving and cataloguing various traces like fingerprints, bloodstains and so on. But the analysis will also show similarities between real-life and fictional crime scene investigations: also in real-life practices reconstruction and interpretation of the crime scene is conducted by investigators (crime scene coordinators) who's task it is to decide how the investigation should be carried out and which is best described as a narrative practice; a systematic - and expertise based - work of imagination.

Every year in the first Saturday of January, all the children (they are many...all capable of taking over an entire planet single-handedly) of my housing society, with the help of a few grown-up(not old) members, i.e. the sweet souls like me, organize costume party. Mostly themed. Just kids in costumes walking on ramp, posing their characters and mouthing lines to convince the elder people who are cheering as audience and the panel of judges. A Halloween of our own!
This Christmas eve, while we were enjoying the season's plum cake and other goodies that come along with the happy-holidays, we the grown-ups(not old) sat down with the kids to discuss the 2016 costume party. This most important discussion of our lives was going on between the concrete floor of our society terrace and the dark starry sky of the Universe.
As the discussion began to ferment into a sour debate over the themes that were flying around us like UFOs, a star winked at me.Yes winked not twinkled. The mischievous little ones up there were conspiring on a stupendous idea for the party, which, once was zeroed in on, was telepathi-ed to me with a wink.
...and on here on Planet earth we had our theme. Star Wars. The iconic phenomena which from generations have dazzled us was going to rule our costume party.
The theme was instantly received with utmost gusto by everyone. Now our intelligent brains were weaving together ideas on the execution. Stuck again- I thought. The last thing I wanted was a regular costume drama going around when we had the nonpareil idea. We had to make it exceptional, had to make it a Star Wars escapade for everyone that night.
The Decor: The entire terrace had to be transformed in a way that it would transpire the feel of the Force and its Galactic Empire into every soul present there. The set designs that feature in the Notebook would come so much handy here. We picked Coruscant as the principal planet.
|Death Star
My favorite egg shaped Death Star would also make its presence felt.
|At-Rt walkers
The Vehicles, like the At-Rt walkers would land up in the corners. A special corner for R2-D2 on the stage was fixed. It seemed we could bring in his sound from the Notebook.
The characters: Darth Vader, the ultimate Sith was mostly chosen by all, but it was decided not more than three children can opt for it else the event would end up looking like the Sith's party and not Star Wars'. Surely it had awakened the Siths in the kids!Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, Qui-Gon Jin, Chief Jawa, Han Solo, The Emperor were picked next.
|Darth Vader with Lightsaber
The Costumes: The Notebook offers designs on the costumes and hence, I knew it would be pretty easy to ensemble the entire cast if I had to.
The weapons: The lightsaber, the Ion blasters for the Jawa, Blaster pistol for Han Solo could be easily created. All we needed were the designs from the Notebook.
Woo-Hoo!!Star Wars Galactic Empire party it is. Now just awaiting my Hp 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor; Star Wars Special Edition Notebook.
Meanwhile... I asked a DJ friend to help me arrange an assemble of StarWars title track and a few other tracks; the Darth Vader...The Imperial Attack...Cantina Band...and some such. From waiting for the Virar local, to boarding it, to securing a seat, till alighting at the destination has been giving me the experience of the galactic wars. Listening to the music would just temper the whole experience.
Ah! Here he comes, let me get to work with him on the music while you get your own Hp 6th generation Intel Core i5 processor; Star Wars Special Edition Notebook and #AwakenYourForce.
All the pics used in this post have been taken from wikipedia except the Hp Star Wars special Edition Notebook, which has been borrowed from storehp.com.

Buying a new toy is a wonderful experience. Even as an adult when we buy new things, we can't wait to get home, rip open the box, and start playing. Buying a new computer is no different. They are always so nice and clean, and fast. Very fast. At least at first. But for some reason, they tend to get slower as time goes on. Pretty soon you are starting to look for ads for new computers in the newspaper.
Many presuppose that is just the way it is. There's even a name for this happening, called "processor creep," which means that over time your computer will logically get slower and slower. While it is correct that the same CPU won't run as fast if you have several applications, it's not a given that your computer will slow down after a certain amount of time.
To comprehend if any decrease in speed is regular, take a gaze at the programs that are listed in your start-up menu. These are the programs that run automatically when you turn on your computer. Standard ones are Skype, Quicktime, Microsoft Office, and an Internet connection program if you have your Internet set up in a precise way. Often times these programs will mechanically check for updates, and that can produce a bit of a decrease in speed.
But chances are, if you are experiencing a large reduction in speeds, you have something called spyware and adware on your computer. One way to check is to run your task manager, if you are running windows. It will record all of the programs that are using up your CPU, and will register how much memory each is using. If you see something you don't realize, effortlessly Google it and see what you come up with.
Many times it will be something that is a share of another program, and is Acceptable. But now and then it will be a spyware or adware program. Spyware and adware programs are software programs that sneak around and gather personal information, usually for promotion purposes. While not risky in and of themselves, they can drastically slow down your computer speed, making it very annoying if you are trying to run some memory rich or towering processor dependent programs, like video editing for instance.
Sometimes you can get away with just clicking on the "end process" switch from within the task manager, but a lot of times this simply won't work. The spyware developers have made many of them very hard to shut down that way. Which is precisely why it is a must in today's Internet situation to have a good, stout anti spyware and adware program that will not only inspect your system on a normal basis, but get rid of the ones that you most certainly have right now.
To naturally keep your computer defended against terrible viruses and discover easy and effortless spyware adware removal system, head on over the spyware adware removal page today.

Friday, 1 April 2016
Today Luke Kemp, on behalf of Fossil Free ANU, presented to ANU Council with a Staff Open Letter of over 450 signatures in support of divestment from the fossil fuel industry.
In response, ANU Vice Chancellor Brian Schmidt outlined how the ANU was managing the risk associated with investing in the fossil fuel industry, and how it has taken action to limit carbon exposure.
Schmidt announced that the ANU would 'weight the portfolio to reduce carbon intensity… to ensure that it is at least 25 per cent lower than the ASX 200'
Schmidt stated: 'This was done to more efficiently decrease the University's investment exposure to CO2 intensive industries without increasing the University's exposure to volatility in the equities market.'
'The University will continue to evaluate the methods available to simultaneously meet its obligations to achieve a high and stable return on its investment portfolio and decrease its CO2 intensity'.
Fossil Free Spokesperson, Luke Kemp, welcomed the move but stressed that, "as with the ANU's partial divestment in 2014, it is not enough."
Kemp said: 'The ANU's move to decrease the carbon intensity of their investments is a welcome, positive step forward. It demonstrates that the ANU clearly recognises carbon exposure, and the risks of investing in fossil fuel companies. This sends a signal to other universities about the importance of considering the financial risk of investing in a carbon bubble.'
'However, there is a world of difference between minimising risk and showing leadership. Climate change is a moral issue that requires urgent, decisive action. By not fully divesting, the ANU today missed an opportunity to show true climate leadership. We implore ANU to fully divest urgently, as we cannot wait any longer.'
In their presentation, Fossil Free ANU announced that if the ANU does not take leadership on climate change then they will be forced to take further leadership themselves.

Finding the right relationship for YOU
Before making a commitment in a relationship or in the "pre-commitment" stage, you have the opportunity to choose your future as intentionally as possible.
You are in the driver's seat when it comes to your life and if you are reading this you are most likely looking to be the pioneer of your relationships by aiming to break free of old patterns and make conscious relationship choices. As a relationship pioneer, your goal is to be completely aware of the long-term impact of your choices and date and mate with conscious intention. You are determined to make the life and relationship you really want and believe that true love and fulfillment will happen, but only if you go after what you really want and do not settle for less.
Everyone starts their journey towards a successful and fulfilling committed life partnership as a single. When you date and eventually find somebody to bond within a relationship it's very exhilarating, but at the same time, most are conscious of the question "Is this the right relationship for me?" and are in what I call the "Pre-commitment Stage" of a relationship. The journey from single to becoming a conscious couple in a successful, fulfilling committed life partnership I call "Conscious Mating." Just as a conscious single must have clarity about who you are, what you want, and how to get it, so must a conscious couple. As challenging as it is for you to make good long-term relationship choices when you're single, it can be even more perplexing to make good long-term relationship choices when in a pre-committed relationship.
Pre-committed couples usually fall into two categories:
Unconscious – Typically following the "mini-marriage" model of trying the relationship out, acting committed without actually making the commitment. A disconnect between fact and attitude.
Conscious: Aware that they are not yet committed, usually have a commitment as a goal, asking themselves "Is this the right relationship for me? Should I make a commitment?" An alignment of fact and attitude.
There are many erroneous beliefs about love. Our culture glorifies the romantic love stage of a relationship in literature, theatre, television, and movies. It is that initial infatuation stage of a relationship when our chemistry is in high gear and we experience euphoria. Powerful amphetamine-like neurotransmitters flood and alter our brain chemistry.
While unsustainable, the romantic love stage serves a vital purpose because it gives us a taste of our best and most powerful selves. If the relationship turns out to be a good long-term choice, this stage bonds us together and primes us to weather life's inevitable storms. Confusing this initial romantic stage with real, sustainable love is a mistake that can be a person's undoing.
Here is the fundamental truth: Relationships do break up. As hard as we might try to prevent and avoid relationship failure, it happens nonetheless. Because there are a number of unconscious forces at work in every stage of a relationship, being fully aware isn't easy and controlling the outcome is impossible. These unconscious forces have the potential for undermining our best efforts to sustain love if we are not aware.

Student Debt
This piece highlights something many students fully realize: student debt. The cold, hard truth. . . .
What Dunne can do for his clients is limited. The national bankruptcy attorneys' group said 82 percent of its members see little chance of discharging student-loan debt this way.
"Clients also read online that loans can be discharged under a hardship standard, but that's legal fiction," Dunne said.
"The banks got the laws changed in 2005, so that unless you are paralyzed or otherwise impaired, there's no chance," he said.

Summer is here!!
Summer in Las Vegas is an event. We talk about the heat like war veterans......When we meet someone new the question is always the same, "is this your first summer?" That question is always followed by a chuckle, a knowing chuckle....which always makes me laugh SINCE WE LIVE HERE TOO!!
We wear our survival of the desert like a badge of honor..... as though there should be an accolade for living on the sun. That might just be stupid.
And every time we go to California we say the same thing....."why do we live in the desert?"
Summer started last Friday (I don't care what the calendar says it started last Friday) and it will go past Halloween. Halloween my friends....hot until October 31.....that is followed by 2 full days of fall....then we immediately go into full on winter for about 2 weeks, just enough to freeze your favorite plants.... Then the wind blows, a lot, it gets nice outside and then cold. Cool and then cold.....wind blows and all the fruit disappears from your fruit trees....and then of course it rains. About 4 inches a year....that's a good year. 4 inches which usually comes in a couple of rain showers. Torrential rain taking cars, asphalt and large boulders along with it, not to mention every vegetable you have planted.
And then nothing......for months.....just blue cloudless skies for months. We are the unweather land.
You can depend on the weather, unless you plan something outside for which the wind will blow or the rain will fall....just for your afternoon.
Las Vegas is a great place for your crazy uncle to sit on the porch and drink home brew.....just bring him in before he spontaneously combusts.

The weather here is about that bad but on the opposite scale! No one dares to plant anything until nearly the middle of June! I am hoping that St. George will be much better! :)ReplyDelete
My mom lives in Palm Desert, and she loves that desert heat...and yes, wears it like a badge of honor.ReplyDelete
You never answered why you live in the desert. It amazes me that someone long ago treking thru the desert thought, Man, I just gotta live here. LOLReplyDelete
much like my hometown....Arizona.ReplyDelete

When renewable-oils manufacturer Solazyme (NASDAQ:TVIA) announces first-quarter 2015 earnings on Wednesday, May 6, investors will be eagerly awaiting updates on its largest manufacturing facility in Moema, Brazil. It's easy to see why. At full capacity, Moema will produce 100,000 metric tons of products every year, which accounts for 84% of the company's total production capacity. There's no doubt that getting Moema back on track will be a welcome development for Solazyme investors, but it won't be the most important update investors receive.
Forget Moema: What about this?
Solazyme encountered some unlucky delays caused by intermittent power supply at the same time commodity prices were slashed by falling oil prices, which explains the efforts management has taken to reel in expenses and conserve cash. Instead of gearing up for growth in 2015, investors were left grasping with two different realities. The lack of a reliable power supply contributed to production problems at Moema, while lower margin products (i.e., commodity replacements) weren't economical to manufacture at the production facility in Clinton, Iowa.
That has forced management to exclude Moema from this year's guidance -- just one year after it contributed 22% of non-cosmetic product revenue -- and refocus existing commercial production at Clinton on low volumes of high margin products in the Encapso drilling lubricant and AlgaVia food ingredient portfolios. The new strategy will attempt to stem losses and limit cash burn until Moema can contribute more meaningfully to the top and bottom lines, demand for products grows, and, most importantly, production costs fall.
Any investor can dig into financial statements to see that gross profit margins reported by the company are much, much higher than what is actually being achieved, since some production costs are hidden in the "R&D expense" category of income statements. Management has admitted the same. As CEO Jonathan Wolfson explained during the third-quarter 2014 conference call:
To be clear, given current reference oil pricing and our early position on the manufacturing cost curve at our facilities, margins on many of our first-generation products would be negative today if we were not assigning some of these scale-up costs to R&D.
I spoke with numerous and unrelated entrepreneurs, institutional investors, and engineers from the field during a recent trip to San Francisco. Interestingly, everyone attributed Solazyme's high production costs to one culprit: downstream processing. Or, more specifically, the process of extracting oil from algal cells. I was taken aback by how readily everyone, it seemed, knew what was plaguing production.
Before you dismiss that as Silicon Valley gossip, the idea that Solazyme is having issues economically extracting oil from algal cells does line up with the company's new strategy and even with what management has already stated.
For instance, except for one high-value cooking oil, the shift in commercial production to high-margin products includes only oils that are encapsulated in algal cells at the point of sale. Encapso drilling lubricants, AlgaVia protein, and AlgaVia flour all get to skip extraction. Meanwhile, management has stated that oil extraction equipment at Moema still needs "significant further optimization." Only once that is achieved will operations in Brazil be able to jump on track.
Of course, now that Solazyme is focused on encapsulated products, extraction costs and processes don't matter much. But production costs still matter -- the metric simply demonstrates the manufacturing performance of different products. Therefore, it's important to note the distinction between updates.
- Any updates on progress at Moema in optimizing oil extraction matter for the long-term growth opportunity in high-volume, lower-value oils that made up a bulk of the previous growth potential of Solazyme.
- Any updates on production costs reported in the income statement from this quarter forward (until further notice) matter for the near-term performance of the company and are representative of production of low-volume, high-value oils.
What matters most to investors
It's important to note that Solazyme could build an enormous business around encapsulated products -- without ever solving problems hindering the oil extraction process at Moema -- but, as demonstrated with lower-value oils, production costs must be favorable. Whether or not production costs of encapsulated products are low enough remains unclear, since previous production costs included inefficient extraction processes.
That changes this quarter, and investors desperately need to see major progress. If costs don't begin trending lower, then investors would be justified in questioning the company's long-term growth potential.

Anglo-Oriental Building: A prominent landmark for the world leader in tin mining and smelting
|Formerly Anglo-Oriental Building
A British architect named Arthur Oakley Coltman (AO Coltman) was a prolific architect during his career in then Malaya. He was instrumental in designing the buildings well known for their Art Deco architectural style in Kuala Lumpur besides bringing modernism to Kuala Lumpur. He worked as manager for the architecture firm Booty, Edwards & Partners practising architecture for 32 years in Malaya. He arrived in Malaya in 1925 and retired in 1957.
The Art Deco buildings in Kuala Lumpur designed by him included Oriental Building (built in 1931), the Odeon Cinema (built in 1936), the old OCBC building (built in 1937), the Clock Tower at the Old Market Square to commemorate the coronation of England's King George VI in 1937, the Rubber Research Institute of Malaya (R.R.I.M) Building (built in 1936), the Lee Rubber Building (built in the early 1930s) and the Anglo-Oriental Building (built in 1937).
The Anglo-Oriental Building which was completed in 1937 was the direct result of one of the two key exports from British Malaya, i.e. tin besides rubber. The Anglo-Oriental Building was occupied by Anglo-Oriental (Malaya) Ltd., a subsidiary of the Anglo-Oriental Mining Corporation (later to become known as the London Tin Corporation), the general managers for a large number of tin mines in Malaya.

This Art Deco building is a three-storey building with a basement floor and has an area of approximately 1,473 square metres (0.364 acres). The building is an excellent example of Art Deco construction with extensive use of Art Deco elements and ornamentation, characteristic of the style. Situated on the corner of Jalan Tangsi (formerly Barrack Road) and Jalan Parlimen (formerly Club Road), it has a double frontage of two asymmetrical wings. The curved corner of the building houses the main entrance. Two prominent pylons with flagpoles on top flank the entry. Projecting from these pylons is a concrete canopy shading the entrance. Observe the decorative grooved pattern around the perimeter belt between the colonnade and windows. The groove and the surface finishing of this building, like other Art Deco buildings in Malaya and in Asia generally, was made with Shanghai plaster. If you would like to know more about Shanghai plaster in Art Deco finishing, I suggest you check out my fellow Malaysian's blog which describes Shanghai plaster in details here.
The Straits Times dated 1 October 1937 reported that the main entrance doors of this elegant building would be panelled with hammered pewter – a white alloy resembling tin in appearance – which would be secured with "stay-brite" strips. The company's name would also be executed in hammered pewter, and tin would be the motif of the treatment details. Dadoes for the staircase and entrance vestibule were made of a new material, Marbrunite, in multiple colours.
After all Anglo-Oriental (Malaya) Ltd. was the manager for a large number of tin mines in Malaya. Malaya was at that time the world's largest exporter of tin. This also signifies the theatrical opulence which Art Deco is always associated with.
Apart from the opulence in style the Straits Times also reported that the architect had even designed a motor car garage on the ground floor to enable the office workers to park their cars inside the building to prevent parking congestion in the street! It also well means the Malaya's economy was strong and resilient enough when the west part of the world was suffering the Great Depression at that time.
In 1988, a Malaysian renowned architect Chen Voon Fee later renovated the building for use by Mahkota College. During renovation, the internal lower roof was replaced by a reinforced concrete floor. This created a usable space in the core of the building. A ring of corridors, which wrap around the three-storey atrium, links the internal rooms.
The building was subsequently acquired by Ekran Berhad in 1995, the property developer and it was renamed Wisma Ekran. However Ekran Berhad has sold off this building in 2005 when it relocated its headquarters to Kuching, Sarawak. The building is now left vacant.
If you are a fan of Art Deco architecture especially in Malaysian context you may want to read this article entitled "The History and Influence of Art Deco in Malaysia's Architecture".

Weight Gain: With my daughter's pregnancy, I gained 55lbs! Believe me, at 5'2 and starting out pretty thin, this was a huge issue for me from walking to standing for long periods of time. The reason I gained so much weight wasn't because of her size however, but because I was diagnosed with preclampsia ( in my third trimester ) I was carrying around 3 times the amount of amniotic fluid then a 'normal pregnancy' and man did I feel it everywhere.
With my son's pregnancy, I gained about 45lbs which wasn't awful to me because due to his size, I was crazy big! Although it is true what they say about boy's being a lot lower as well so I felt like my poor stomach was bulging out all the time!
Heartbeat : My daughter's heartbeat was always in the 150's so before we even know what her gender was, that was our possibly indicator that she could be a girl ( myth's believe that over 140 it's a girl and under it's a boy ) however! When I went in for our son's 12 week appointment, his heartbeat was in the 150 range as well so I thought for sure we were having a girl until we had our harmony test results that it was a boy! Don't always believe what you hear!
Beauty: Another myth that happens with girl and boy pregnancies are the joys of hormones and acne. With my daughter, wow was I bloated and felt like a teenager girl with how bad my acne was all over my face. I'll spare the details but I tried everything to get rid of them. With my son's pregnancy, you apparently did get a glow and mine seemed to be beaming from my second trimester well into my third. My face looked great and my nails and hair felt thicker and softer!
Cravings: My cravings with my son were somewhat similar to my daughter's. I loved ice cream, fruit ( so many berry salads! ) and chocolate. The one big difference was I really craved pickles and chicken sandwiches with my son. I laugh because I never really liked pickles but I could almost down an entire jar of them in 2 sittings. Sour = amazing.
Movement: Well into my third trimester, I couldn't feel my daughter as much due to all the fluid. It made me nervous I'll admit but once in a while my friends would start laughing because she'd somehow love to curl up on my right rib cage for hours at a time. All you would see is a huge hump! With my son, he would barely sit still and because I didn't have that much fluid around him, I'd feel everything! His fingers wiggling ( or at least that's what I would think it was ! ) his kicks, his hiccups and lots of rolling around! It's true, boys are really active!
If you've had gender difference pregnancies were yours the same?

CPU-Z 1.54 shows that the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor has 512KB L2 cache per core and 6MB shared L3 cache. This adds up to the entire processor having 9MB of cache (L2+L3) available to it, which is slightly more than the Core i7 quad-core processors as they have 8MB cache. The Intel 980X six-core processor has 12MB cache though, which trumps all desktop processors on the market today.
The AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor has an 16x multiplier with a 200MHz reference clock, but features low power states and turbo CORE mode. This means that the core clock frequency and base clock will rise up and down all by itself, depending on the workload. This is a brand new feature to AMD processors! The screen shot above shows the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor at an idle state. You can see the multiplier dropped down to 4x and the core speed or overall clock frequency is just 800 MHz.
When the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor was running at full load the multiplier jumped up to 16 and the overall clock frequency is now 3.21GHz, as you can see from the screen shot above. This is what happens when a heavy load is on at least four or more threads.
When the AMD Phenom II X6 1090T processor is under a light load on just three or fewer cores the multiplier jumps up to 18 for an overall clock frequency of 3.6GHz. This is how AMD Turbo CORE technology works. It's not as complicated or efficient as Intel's Turbo method, but it works and is certainly better than not having it!

The Master of Science in Counseling Psychology (MSCP) program is designed to prepare graduates for work in the community and schools, assisting children, youth, and adults in adapting to various educational, family, organizational, and societal demands.
Coherence among curriculum, instruction, clinical experience and assessment across a candidate's program is established in several ways, including the foundational use of NBCC and CACREP standards. The MSCP program at Chaminade University utilizes the standards of the NBCC and CACREP as the framework for curricular experience and demonstrated knowledge of the common core areas that are required of all students across each of the three emphases: School Counseling, Mental Health Counseling, and Marriage and Family Counseling. The MSCP program is structured so that all students have a strong theoretical foundation and basic counseling skills development before they enter the clinical portion of the program. The clinical portion of the program occurs during the last three terms of the program. Thus, students move from common foundation courses through common core courses and emphasis-specific courses.
The vision of the MSCP program is to develop qualified, effective counselors while strengthening partnerships in the community.

Ok who's up to talk shit?
Just kidding, I just really wanted to use that pun! They're kind of running through my head today. 'A stool for your stools' is another one I had going. No? No one else is cracking up except for me? Am I the only one with the mind of a twelve year old? (PS This is an actual book.)
Anyway, let's get serious for a sec, because I can tell you honestly that whenever I send out an intake form for retreats that asks students about things like food allergies, or any issues I should know about, 75% or more of the people write back that they have IBS issues and need to stick to a specific diet. And that's no laughing matter, people!
As someone who suffered for years in college with debilitating anxiety, I know what a pain in the ass it can be (see what I did there?!), to be plagued by something that pretty much dominates your life. So if I ever come across something that might be able to help someone out, you can bet your bottom (I'm on a roll!) that I will put the fear of TMI aside to help a sista' out.
So here's the deal.
Years ago, I dated this guy who had a kid. The kid was taught by the mom to squat when he pooped. Since he was just a little kid, he'd put his feet on the toilet seat and do his business. When my boyfriend at the time told me about it, I was like, "Really?! Why? Is there a reason behind it?"
He shrugged and said she said it just made things come out more smoothly. She was kind of into alternative medicine and somewhat holistic, so I just kind of thought it was a cool tidbit of information, filed it away in my head, and sort of forgot about it until a few years later when one of my friends started talking about this special stool that had changed her life.
"Um, you need this in your life," she told me over coffee in this hushed, excited voice. "I'm telling everyone I can about it, because we don't poop right!"
"What do you mean?!" I laughed, glancing around to see if anyone was overhearing our conversation.
"Well, look at dogs," she said. "Do you ever notice how they squat when they poop? They round their backs so their anatomy straightens out and out it comes - easy! We need to follow suit because of the way our anatomy is shaped. If you sit normally, things are still crooked and therefore, it's not as easy to go. When you prop your feet up, you come into proper alignment and there's no straining at all. You just...go!" She went on the say that many countries in the east have toilets that are meant for squatting over.
"Huh," I said, suddenly remembering the squat toilets I'd seen in Thailand and India.
So a few months later, when we were brainstorming ideas for the Weird Health Trends series, I thought that for sure we needed to get this in there. I reached out to Squatty Potty (props on a bomb name!) to see if they would be interested in partnering up for this post and they said they would! So yay!
Anyway, we received our squatty potty a few months ago and as it turns out, my friend was right - even if you're someone who didn't have any bathroom issues to write home about, things are just easier, quicker, and if you're short like me and your feet barely touch the ground anyway, the stool is a nice change up!
For the record, my husband Greg thought I was positively nuts when it arrived. He laughed and shook his head and goes, 'You are so weird." But I showed him the science behind it, and he was on board as well.
The science, in case you're pressed for time, basically goes like this: the colon has a natural kink in it to maintain continence. When you squat, the kink straightens out and you can go smoothly, easily, and without strain. This may prevent things like hemorrhoids, and may make things like constipation easier to deal with.
Is it weird having a stool at our place? Yes. Did I feel like I had to explain it to Lauren, YBC's Marketing and Events Director, when she came to the office to do work? Yes. But you know what she said?
"Um, we've used a stool for years!"
So ok, maybe this is the new norm and I am the last one on board. But if not, maybe this will help someone out there dealing with IBS, constipation, hemorrhoids, or any other ba-rutal bathroom issue and if so, then I'm happy as a pig in shit (couldn't resist!).
So tell me, would you or wouldn't you give it a try?
And if you would, Squatty Potty has been generous enough to give away one bamboo squatty potty to one lucky winner along with a sweet loo bathroom spray - a $90 value.
If you'd like to enter, just let us know down in the comments below (and make sure to click the widget below that you entered). Alternatively, for fake bonus points that don't count for anything, share a funny bathroom story because honestly, I could use a good laugh. XO

A system that takes from the poor and gives to the rich is the system we have created in the growth economy. Our focus forever on profit over life, and increasing those profits, encourages less and less life. Those with the money can afford to take the natural capital that was once commons from the poor and sell it back to them. While this encourages the ever worshiped growth, it does not encourage prosperity – most especially with those in poverty.
From The Ecologist this article "New Emporers, Old Clothes" by Vandana Shiva is something I want to share with you. A contact in the CASSE Volunteer group passed this along to me, and I feel it is worthy of a dedicated post. [emphasis added]
"However much we choose to forget or deny it, all people in all societies still depend on nature. Without clean water, fertile soils and vegetable genetic diversity, human survival is not possible. Today, economic development is destroying these onetime commons, resulting in the creation of a new contradiction: development deprives the very people it professes to help of their traditional land and means of sustenance, forcing them to survive in an increasingly eroded natural world.
A system like this, one that creates denial and disease while accumulating trillions of dollars of super profits for agribusiness, is a system for creating poverty for people. Poverty is not, as Sachs suggests, an initial state from which to escape. It is a final state reached when one-sided development has destroyed the ecological and social systems for maintaining the life, health and sustenance of people and the planet.
The reality is that people do not die for lack of income. They die for lack of access to resources. Here, too, Sachs is wrong when he says: 'In a world of plenty, 1 billion people are so poor their lives are in danger.' The indigenous people in the Amazon, the mountain communities in the Himalayas, peasants anywhere whose land has not been appropriated and whose water and biodiversity have not been destroyed by debt-creating industrial agriculture are ecologically rich, even though they do not earn a dollar a day.
On the other hand, people are poor if they have to buy their basic needs at high prices. Because of dumping and trade liberalisation, farm prices in India are tumbling, meaning that the country's peasants are losing $26 billion each year; this at a time when 'development' is all the while creating markets for costly seeds and agrichemicals. Unable to exist in the world that has been created for them, these now poverty-stricken peasants are committing suicide in their thousands.
Patents on medicines increase the cost of Aids drugs from $200 to $20,000, and cancer drugs from $2,400 to $36,000, for a year's treatment. Water is privatised and global corporations profit to the tune of $1 trillion by selling once free water to the poor. So, too, the $50 billion of 'aid' trickling North to South is but a tenth of the $500 billion being sucked South to North thanks to interest payments and other unjust mechanisms in the global economy imposed by the World Bank and the IMF.
If we are serious about ending poverty, we have to be serious about ending the systems for wealth creation which create poverty by robbing the poor of their resources, livelihoods and incomes. Before we can make poverty history, we need to get the history of poverty right. It's not about how much more we can give, so much as how much less we can take."
Standing ovation for Vandana Shiva, well done! Read the full article here.

Eventually, we became jaded travelers zooming through Europe driving through city after city. Once, Grumpy only realized we were in Carrera when he saw the sign saying Arrivederci Carrera. Driving through Luxembourg, we missed it completely.
Another time, we arrived in Venice, took the boat that was close to the parking lot at that time, stayed in the boat until it arrived back where we were parked. We looked at each other and off we went to the car to take the 5 key pictures in Firenze.
We covered a lot of real estate that time, ticked every box and learned absolutely nothing. As penance we did go back to Venice 2 more more times, stayed longer, wandered, sat and drank wine, talked, and just enjoyed the place.
We strolled to a different piazza each day, parked ourselves in one of the smaller al fresco drinkeries and watched tired tourists battling with their maps, their guides, their cameras while we did the full soak.
The waiters always chatted. Locals sitting nearby often chipped in. Everyone had a nephew in…..pick your North American City…… The local football team was always outstanding. It was not only relaxing but much more satisfying.
For want of a better term, I would call this Marinade Tourism. You find a great place on the street…or in a museum or outside a temple or cathedral…and you sit, you soak yourself in it, you watch and listen and let the flavours get under your skin...and, think a bit.
Relax and look at the details. Pretend you're a painter looking for the feeling around you as well as the visuals. OK..OK..OK..read a bit of the guide book for context and identify buildings and the stories that are attached to them. In Venice, find the Doge and Shylock.

For those of you who don't know about Box – Let me share it with you…
Box magazine is a lifestyle publication that makes any coffee table, ever so chic!
Featuring exclusive lifestyle and travel, high-end fashion, art, food and wine, this magazine ticks all the boxes when it comes to style!
But it's what's inside Box that makes it so unique. Inside Box you'll find a whole lot of heart! With 100% of all subscription sales being directly donated to children's charities, this magazine warms the hearts of those who need it most!
The talented lady behind the Box is Sophia Barbagallo. Sophia is the General Manager of Box magazine and there is more to this GM than a just a pretty face! She is passionate about her work, gives her time generously and loves to have fun!
Stylewa spent some time finding out more about Sophia's world of Box!
* * * * * *
Stylewa – Sophia, you are the General Manager of Box magazine, how long have you been doing this role and what do you love about your job? I am the GM of ToyBox International. I LOVE this role and have been in it now for just over six years. It is so rewarding to be able to deliver grants to help local, sick and disadvantaged kids – quite addictive in fact! This role allows me to do this warm fuzzy stuff – as well as keep a foot in the fashion world, being so closely linked with Box Magazine. Our offices are all under one roof together and we are a small team that really help each other however we can with what is on the go.
Stylewa- Box Magazine carries the phrase; "Box Magazine. It's about Luxury, it's about pleasure, it's about enjoying yourself"……….. What do you believe sets Box magazine apart from other lifestyle magazines?
Stylewa – I personally love the level of luxury that this magazine has…… It allows readers to escape from everyday and sets the benchmark for style in WA. Describe how you would spend a day 'in style' in WA if you had an endless budget….?
Stylewa – Box Magazine raises funds for ToyBox International, a charitable trust that raises funds for special needs children around Australia.
100% of magazine subscription sales go to filling specific grants for children in need and 3 of these grants are featured in each edition. How did the union between Box magazine and ToyBox International come about?
ToyBox was started soon after as an umbrella charity, to allow grants to be filled with any reputable, Australian children's charity. This came about when we looked to raise more funds from Australia's corporate world and they had already chosen a children's charity to support for that year. ToyBox doesn't discriminate – as long as we are assisting kids in need – that is what is important. ToyBox works with numerous charities nationally including Variety still, identifying specific grants they need filled for kids and then filling those grants.
We still today profile three grants every issue, that have been filled thanks to subscription sales.
Stylewa – Has working with ToyBox International affected your outlook on life?
Stylewa – Apart from subscribing to Box magazine, how can people contribute to this very worthy charity? (ie are there upcoming events people can attend to raise funds?)
Donations can also be made directly athttp://www.toyboxinternational.org/get-involved/how-to-get-involved/
Stylewa – You are not only the GM for Box magazine but you are also involved with ToyBox International, Miss Universe Contests in WA and have an athletic background (with boxing and ballet some of your past times). With all of this under your belt, what would you say you are most proud of?
One of the things I love most is working with the Miss Universe contestants. They start so shy and by the end of the program have the most amazing confidence and a real desire to get out there and achieve their dreams. They are living better lives, staying fit and healthy and have a clear plan to set themselves up to achieve more in life. Seeing them change through doing the charity work too is amazing, can see everything falling into perspective for them. Those first years out of high school are really hard, this helps them to gain direction and passion. Seeing this change is definitely a highlight for me.
Stylewa – How would you describe your style?
We are in the middle of a big expansion with the magazine called Vault521, which engages just 521 corporate Australian businesses in an exciting corporate gifting and communication program. Fully subscribed it will raise $2million per annum for ToyBox kids. So keeping ourselves very busy with this at the moment. Exciting times.
Sophia, thank you for your time with Stylewa… We look forward to seeing your style with each edition of Box Magazine in the future!!

The last two or so weeks haven't been as fruitful as I was hoping, but there's still some stuff to show off.
Content Updates
In this release there's a new version of Midgar which will be visible outside the window as well as in the Midgar cell accessible from floor 59. In the midgar cell there's now two additional vantage points you can view from, just use the extra doors on either side of the elevator to travel to a different angle.
61 now has a reflective floor as well as texture and lighting updates:
A WIP floor 62 has been started:
I've been working on some placeholder NPCs so that we have people to interact and setup quests with before actually having good customized ones. I know some of them don't look right and others look down right silly. It can't be helped at the moment. Here's the executive team:
And a shot of a very angry mob, uh, company boss.
Lastly here's the Turks. Looks like Elena didn't get the memo about the uniform but somehow remembered the gloves. Goddamnit Elena, you're always cramping their style!
Reflective Floor Woes (now solved!)
As some of you may or may not remember, many of the upper levels of the Shinra Tower had reflective floors. I was really excited when I thought of a way to include this in the mod. I did it by making the floor part of the model semi-transparent and then putting opaque, fully reflective placeable water beneath it. The reason I did this is because I couldn't texture the water nor could I get the reflective part of the water onto a textured model. They use two different shader types which, going by the immediate crash to desktop they cause when both enabled on a model, are incompatible. Anyway, it looked perfect! That is, until I spotted a new problem:
It appears that meshes which are semi-transparent can only be lit by two light sources at a given time. As you can see from the video, those two light sources change with an undesirable abruptness as the player moves around. I have no idea why it does this, but I did numerous experiments confirming that it is indeed the transparency on the model causing it. I tried breaking up the floor so that only two light sources would hit a given floor mesh piece, but it still produced poor results. Eventually, after mulling it over in the back of my mind for a couple of months I've come up with a solution (there's a shot of it in action on 61 above in the 'Content Updates' section):
The new way of creating reflective floors involves putting the now semi-transparent water above the floor. For some reason (magic, possibly) the lighting issue doesn't affect transparent placeable water, only textured models. Obviously, we don't want the player splish splashing around and drinking from the floor so there's an invisible collision plane just above that to prevent any funny business. I'm the first to admit it's not an elegant solution, but it works - if you have a better idea feel free to let me know :-)
Your Settings for the Mod
I was fiddling with different graphical settings and noticed that disabling HDR prevents emissive settings from rendering in game. This is important for your playing experience (particularly when looking outside) as low emissive settings are used on models outside to fake lighting, rather than using extra directional lights which would be expensive performance wise. Ambient light isn't appropriate because it can't be masked like emissive surfaces can with a glow map. So basically I recommend turning on HDR (open FO3 Launcher > options > screen effects > HDR) when playing this mod.
I have my settings turned up to the max, but you mightn't have that luxury. There's not much I can do about the reduced draw distance on really low settings... I don't know whether FO3 prevents a crap computer from using high settings or not. If it doesn't, I'd suggest sacrificing AA, reflections, etc in favour of a longer draw distance.
Design Document
A full design doc is currently being written. You're probably thinking "What? You mean there isn't one?!" (and if you're not thinking that you should be) to which my answer is no, there isn't one. Really the mod should have had one years ago, but it didn't. So until I have access to a time machine to allow me to go back in time and slap myself, I'll have to settle with writing one now. An edited version of the design doc will made available to the public.
Progress Reports
Since November 2011 I've been keeping monthly progress reports for the mod on Google Docs to help evaluate the mod's development process and spot weaknesses and patterns as well as track what's getting done and what isn't. I've personally found them helpful and surprisingly motivating. It's nice to look back at previous reports and see what's already been done.
They've evolved over time. I find jotting down concise dot points with links to images (where appropriate) to be the best method so far. When there have been team members I email them out and that way everyone can see what everyone else is doing. If development were faster and the team bigger (or existent, haha) progress reports would probably serve their role better as a reference for a weekly IRC or Skype dev meeting.

Garden gnomes, Gnomeo & Juliet, recruit renown detective, Sherlock Gnomes, to investigate the mysterious disappearance of other garden ornaments.
Sherlock Gnomes is an upcoming British-American 3D computer-animated romantic comedy mystery film that is being directed by John Stevenson. A sequel to 2011's Gnomeo & Juliet, the film stars the voices of James McAvoy, Emily Blunt, Chiwetel Ejiofor, Mary J. Blige, and Johnny Depp. The film is being produced by Rocket Pictures, Paramount Animation and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, with the animation service provided by Paris-based Mikros Image. It will be the first film from Paramount Animation to be entirely animated, and the first fully animated film from Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer since 2008's Igor. The film is scheduled to be released on March 23, 2018, by Paramount Pictures.
When Gnomeo and Juliet first arrive in the city with their friends and family, their biggest concern is getting their new garden ready for spring. However, they soon discover that someone is kidnapping garden gnomes all over London. When Gnomeo and Juliet return home to find that everyone in their garden is missing there's only one gnome to call SHERLOCK GNOMES. The famous detective and sworn protector of London's garden gnomes arrives with his sidekick Watson to investigate the case. The mystery will lead our gnomes on a rollicking adventure where they will meet all new ornaments and explore an undiscovered side of the city.

SPA-Hotel Meliot welcomed its first guests in august 2014 at the same time with the sportsmen of the World Taekwondo Championship. Well coordinated work of the staff satisfied the organizing committee and the hotel was given the official status.
For Chelyabinsk citizens and guests of the city Meliot offers an innovative for the South Urals region conception of the SPA-hotel. Saunas and gym in the hotels have become too ordinary and expected for the guests, that is why the founders of the hotel developed the idea further and created the Wellness Complex. Meliot's conception arises from the idea of SPA: the hotel is located in the quiet area of the city, and carefully selected interiors and modern equipment create atmosphere of comfort and relaxation. The main feature of the hotel is 14 rooms of the "SPA SUITE" category, and SPA-center, which includes not only common saunas, SPA-pools and cosmetic services, but also play space for children.
Guests can enjoy the unique approach in the interior division: SPA-rooms with podiums with built-in aero-massage baths and the Toile de Jouy design.
Meliot offered guests of the city comfortable rest after a busy day; and for its citizens it became a place where a family at the weekend can restore and recover one's health.

...and another heart. My children must of been cooperative today, and the house isn't vaccumed, and the washing isn't washed...whatever!!
I have been sitting here quietly for the last 10 minutes, watching my two year old make a sandwich, from start to finish. He got out the bread, reached for a sharp knife, changed his mind and got a butter knife, got butter from the fridge, vegemite from the pantry, put a bit of that on, said "all gone" went back to the pantry and got nutella and has started on that. He won't actually eat the sandwhich, he just likes 'spreads'. He is so incredibly independent, and today, he is really rather cute.

Hey everyone! Happy Monday and Happy Cinco de Mayo! I first would like to apologize for my absence over the past few days. It was for a good reason though, I promise. This weekend was my college graduation so, there was not much time to sit down in front of the computer. Saturday and Sunday were filled with tons of fun creating once in a lifetime memories. Today is just a quick post to check in as I didn't want to leave my blog dormant for three whole days. I have a ton of pictures to go through from the weekend and wanted to make sure everything was perfect before I shared them with you all. So, be sure to keep an eye out tomorrow for a full recap of graduation! I'm really excited!
But, before I go here's one picture for a little sneak peak! :)
How was your weekend??
❤ Nichole ❤
