According to advertisers, nothing spells 'love' as powerfully as flowers, chocolates and a bottle of perfume. So although I'd never dream of dissuading someone from buying a fragrance for their Valentine, I'm going to leave the scent recommendations to others this year and instead suggest that you may like to consider spending your pennies on perfumed prose. At this juncture, I ought to be able to pull off a graceful segue into my own book, but as its first print run is now officially sold out - and as the publishers haven't yet told me about their plans regarding a second run - I don't think I should dwell on it today. All I will say is that if you'd like to buy a copy, now is the time to start hunting for any stragglers kicking about here and there.
Four fragrance-related books have been released in recent weeks, and of these Rare Perfumes - penned by Sabine Chabbert and Laurence Ferat - is perhaps the most coffee-table-friendly. Inspired by the growing respectability of niche brands in France - a market notoriously resistant to non-mainstream scents - the elegant tome is essentially a series of mini-profiles of various firms, from obvious choices like Frederic Malle and Serge Lutens to somewhat more esoteric fare, such as Les Nez and Carthusia. It's certainly handy to have all these biogs in one volume, but the translation leaves a great deal to be desired. My French is by no means perfect, but even I was able to work out that certain words and phrases had been grossly disfigured along their journey to English. Had the text originally been written in some near-extinct language spoken only by three tribespeople in the deepest Amazon, it would have been easy to forgive the odd bit of awkward expression. But as there are plenty of people fluent in both English and French, the shoddiness is hard to excuse. A real shame.
Equally glossy is British Perfumery: A Fragrant History, published to mark the 50th anniversary of the founding of the British Society Of Perfumers. This hefty piece of work is brand-focussed too, but not exclusively so. Here, the emphasis is on perfume as the product of an industry: for every entry on a Penhaligon's or a Grossmith, there's a mention of a Givaudan or a Unilever. The result is an interesting - if rather specialised - examination of the role of Britain in the perfume world, a role which is perhaps more significant than the average high street customer might imagine. The photos are especially noteworthy, as they depict a world inhabited not by angst-ridden artists daydreaming in fields of jasmine, but a quintessentially English realm of people operating complex equipment in labs or enjoying the questionable pleasures of committee meetings. The historical tidbits are priceless too. For instance, in his Foreword, Michael Edwards points out that in 1963, the year which saw the birth of the BSP, only three (yes, that's right: three!) new perfumes were launched: Diorling, Penhaligon's Extract Of Limes and Kiehl's Original Musk. Such restraint on the part of brands is impossible to imagine now.
Karen Gilbert's Perfume: The Art & Craft Of Fragrance is a dangerous book. I mean that as a compliment, because it is precisely the sort of release that might cause the unwary punter to cross the threshold which divides the world of perfume consumption from the perilous territory of production. Slim, concise and visually sumptuous, it guides the reader through fairly obvious, albeit crucial, sections - a brief history of perfume, different fragrance families, an overview of key ingredients - before presenting a series of fundamental perfume formulae. However, despite its pastel-pretty exterior, it doesn't shy away from the realities of fragrance creation - it tackles the subject of synthetic materials head on - and it isn't afraid of becoming technical when it needs to. Inevitably, it draws comparisons with Mandy Aftel's Essence & Alchemy, but in the final analysis, the connections between the two are tenuous. For one thing, their design couldn't be more different - Gilbert's, with its abundant use of colour photography, makes a more obvious gift - and their content varies as well. Aftel's is more detailed, more pensive and, dare I say it, more prone to new-agey, Californian mysticism, whereas Gilbert's is more succinct, more accessible and much more tone-neutral.
Barbara Herman's Scent & Subversion is arguably the most obvious Valentine's Day choice for a card-carrying scentusiast. As it's basically a collection of reviews of vintage scents, it's sure to tickle the list-loving fancies of most perfume lovers, even if it does raise tricky questions about what constitutes 'vintage'. To her credit, Herman addresses this issue, and several others, in her introduction, thereby displaying a willingness to acknowledge that 'vintage-ness' isn't a fixed quality and that it exists on an increasingly murky spectrum. This particular conundrum aside, the book is a handy reference point both for creations which are no longer to be found on department store shelves and for those which don't resemble their original incarnations any more. Readers hoping for punchy, stridently dogmatic assessments - a la Turin and Sanchez - may be disappointed, but there's no denying that Herman's love of her subject comes through in her words. Guerlain's Djedi is likened to a "secret pagan ritual going on under cover of darkness." Diorella is redolent of "not-yet-going-bad garbage that someone has thrown a pile of flowers onto", a description Herman calls "an endorsement". And Bulgari Black is "an updated Shalimar for romantic types who frequent leather and latex fetish bars". Finally, it's worth mentioning that the closing sections of the book feature articles on the potential future of perfumery, as soon through the eyes of Antoine Lie, Christopher Brosius and Martynka Wawrzyniak.
A happy Valentine's Day to all!

The Nuage Virtual Router and Switch (VRS) can be utilized on a number of different platforms including BareMetal Servers, ESXi, KVM and HyperV. In this post we're going to utilize the VRS as part of a KVM Docker Server running on a CentOS7.3 Minimum Server. During the time of this post the version of Nuage being utilized is 4.0R8 but the process should be similar on future releases.
- VSD (standalone or cluster) and VSC (at least 1) must be deployed and operational
- CentOS Server with at least 1 NIC that has reachability to both the VSD and VSC/s
- CentOS Server must have internet access for updates
- Access to the nuage-openvswitch and nuage-docker-monitor rpm files
Server preparation
1. Stop and disable NetworkManager, start network and disable firewalld
systemctl stop NetworkManager systemctl disable NetworkManager systemctl start network systemctl stop firewalld systemctl disable firewalld
2. Disable SELINUX
vi /etc/selinux/config
3. Clean the cache and update the system
rm -fr /var/cache/yum/*
yum clean all
yum -y update
4. Reboot the Server
5. Verify version of OS
rpm --query centos-release
Output should look similar to:
Install OS and VRS dependancies
1. Install the latest EPEL release
yum -y install epel-release
2. Enable the CentOS-Base.repo repository by editing the file
vi /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo
3. Update the system
yum -y update
4. Install libvirt,python-twisted-core, qemu-kvm and virt-install
yum -y install libvirt
yum -y install python-twisted-core
yum -y install qemu-kvm
yum -y install virt-install
5. This one is just a habbit of mine:
enable vnc_listen = "0.0.0.0"
vi /etc/libvirt/qemu.conf
6. Install the nuage-openvswitch
mkdir -p /tmp/nuage/
cd /tmp/nuage/
scp email@example.com:/share/nfs/nuage/4.0r8/extracted/nuage-openvswitch*.rpm ./
Remove python-openvswitch and apply nuage-openvswitch twice to clean up br-int and br-tun
yum -y remove python-openvswitch
yum -y remove openvswitch
yum -y install nuage-openvswitch*.rpm
yum -y remove openvswitch
yum -y install nuage-openvswitch*.rpm
7. Configure IP address of VSC within the VRS config file
vi /etc/default/openvswitch
8. Restart the openvswitch
systemctl restart openvswitch
Install Docker
1. Install docker, get pip, docker-py and start docker on boot
yum -y install docker
yum -y install python-pip
pip install docker-py
pip install --upgrade pip
systemctl start docker
chkconfig docker on
2. Install nuage-docker-monitor
mkdir -p /tmp/nuage/
cd /tmp/nuage/
scp firstname.lastname@example.com:/share/nfs/nuage/4.0r8/extracted/nuage-docker-monitor*.rpm ./
Run the installation
yum -y install nuage-docker-monitor*.rpm
3. Restart the openvswitch
systemctl restart openvswitch
Verify installation
1. Verify VRS/OVS controller connection
ovs-vsctl show
2. Verify docker monitor is running
ps aux | grep nuage
Expected output to display "nuage-docker-monitor: monitoring pid 15546 healthy"
Running your first docker image with nuage
docker run -d -i -t -e "NUAGE-ENTERPRISE=acmecorp" -e "NUAGE-DOMAIN=Docker Domain" -e "NUAGE-ZONE=Docker Zone 1" -e "NUAGE-NETWORK=Subnet 1" -e "NUAGE-USER=docker" --name=centos1 --net=none centos /bin/bash
Note: NUAGE-ENTERPRISE, NUAGE-DOMAIN, NUAGE-ZONE, NUAGE-NETWORK and NUAGE-USER, are all specific to the VSD constructs. Make sure that whatever user you provide is added to the VSD Enterprise Administrators Group.
Using a Dockerfile with SSH Access
For advance deployment of the docker centos image with SSHd running follow my github dockerfile/centos instructions: https://github.com/scottairwin/dockerfile-centos

And it's time for round two! Enough chatter, on to the bikes:
This time trial bike was a real piece of art. I really recommend opening these up and looking at them larger (by clicking on them). The bike was a 1x10 with DI2 electronic shifting. The shifters are small round black buttons in the end of the aero bars. The battery is a custom, USB powered and located in the frame.
Even the front wheel was out of control. The hub was real narrow and the outer part of the axle was wing shaped.
This Huffy was the bike that won the Giro in 1988 by Andrew Hampsten. Huffy used to be a major contender in these races.
This Schlumpf Innovations crank featured an internal 2 speed, operated by buttons on the end of the bottom bracket spindle you hit with your heels. I got a chance to try this out, and it was surprisingly easy and natural feeling.
Here's Zac trying out a bakefeits cargo bike. Man, one of these would be fun with a pile of kids in it!
This bike wins most eccentric paint
And lastly, Geoff is confused and enraged by a 4 chainring crank... a quadruple. For use on tandems, apparently, of which there were many.

Cooking Foie Gras
This is a slab of Foie Gras I bought from a supermarket in France. Brought it back to England to have it cooked in winter over Christmas.
Big fat juicy liver.
First, cut the liver, make sure it's a big fat thick slice, don't be stingy. Unlike in this photo.
It should be cut thicker than this.
You may choose to season it or not. But since this was going to be eaten without condiments or sauce pairings, seasoning it was.
Sear it. With the thickest slice first. Make sure the fire isn't too hot. Medium will be sufficient.
Foie Gras is 90% fat so you do not need any oil when you cook it, the liver will melt and act as oil to further sear the pieces.
Take it off the pan and on again to make sure you don't burn the surface, flip and it will continue to cook in the pan and then flip the pan back onto the fire. Repeat as your like, but once or twice is good enough.
Enjoy a snow-filled while searing if you may.
Lastly, don't be shocked to find the foie gras to have diminished considerably in size at the end of your searing. This is normal.
Although if it has reduced to a thin line despite the thick slice you have cut, you may have cooked it too long on a heat that's too high.
This is a perfect example of an overcooked foie gras.
But hey, practice makes perfect.
Just remember to watch your waistline.

Orly Gel FX Manicure
I cannot seem to get enough of having my nails done recently, it's literally the thing I look forward to every couple of weeks. I first started having my nails done around September time last year and since then I haven't even touched them myself. You can read my first experience post here. This month's nails are by far my favourites and its actually the first time I've decided to have something a bit more adventurous besides five plain coloured nails.
Black and silver always look really classy and I'm a huge fan of black nails. These photos were taken around four weeks ago and they are just starting to chip, so the wear you get from the Gel FX is crazy! Well worth the £25 I pay for my manicures. Here I have 'Liquid Vinyl', 'Shine' and 'Holy Holo.' You can take a look at their website and a few of the shades here.
How do you usually do your nails, and what are your favourite products?

Okay, since it has come to my attention that some people who want to listen to my awesome podcast (next episode goes up today, y'all!) and can't, I am here to possibly fix your problem. Maybe. Actually, switchpod.com's tech support are here to help you, I'm just relaying the message. Also, part of the iTune's FAQ will be helping you, as well.
They work through me. I am a conduit for knowledge.
Okay, so first of all, if you put the URL of the RSS feed into your browser and all you get is gobbledy guck, make sure you're using the absolutely most updated version of your browser. Most browsers will have a built in RSS feed by now, but if you've never updated your browser, you're missing out. You're probably missing a lot of awesome other features, too. So, update your browser, or get the latest version of Mozilla Firefox, which is my favorite browser. Be just like me, you know you wanna. Go to Mozilla.com to get Firefox, if you want it.
Now, if you have the latest version of your browser and it's still not working, you can get yourself an RSS reader. There are tons of them out there, and tons are free. Just got to google and type in "free RSS reader" for a list of sites where you can download the suckers. RSS readers will let you add all sorts of feeds that you want to keep up on, like news stories and things like that, in addition to podcasts.
However, if you have iTunes, this is probably the easiest and most sensible way to do it. You can get your butt into the "Advanced" menu in your iTunes program, select "subscribe to podcast" and copy pasta the URL of my RSS feed into it.
For your copy/pasta pleasure, here is the RSS feed URL for my awesome podcast: http://www.switchpod.com/users/jenniferarmintrout/feed.xml
In other news, you have just the rest of this precious twenty-four hours to bring me your burning questions in the post below this one, because I'm going to dig in to the question answering tomorrow.

And why had not the prince approached him and spoken to him, instead of turning away and pretending he had seen nothing, although their eyes met? (Yes, their eyes had met, and they had looked at each other.) Why, he had himself wished to take Rogojin by the hand and go in together, he had himself determined to go to him on the morrow and tell him that he had seen her, he had repudiated the demon as he walked to the house, and his heart had been full of joy.
Was there something in the whole aspect of the man, today, sufficient to justify the prince's terror, and the awful suspicions of his demon? Something seen, but indescribable, which filled him with dreadful presentiments? Yes, he was convinced of it — convinced of what? (Oh, how mean and hideous of him to feel this conviction, this presentiment! How he blamed himself for it!) "Speak if you dare, and tell me, what is the presentiment?" he repeated to himself, over and over again. "Put it into words, speak out clearly and distinctly. Oh, miserable coward that I am!" The prince flushed with shame for his own baseness. "How shall I ever look this man in the face again? My God, what a day! And what a nightmare, what a nightmare!"
There was a moment, during this long, wretched walk back from the Petersburg Side, when the prince felt an irresistible desire to go straight to Rogojin's, wait for him, embrace him with tears of shame and contrition, and tell him of his distrust, and finish with it — once for all.
But here he was back at his hotel.
How often during the day he had thought of this hotel with loathing — its corridor, its rooms, its stairs. How he had dreaded coming back to it, for some reason.
"What a regular old woman I am today," he had said to himself each time, with annoyance. "I believe in every foolish presentiment that comes into my head."
He stopped for a moment at the door; a great flush of shame came over him. "I am a coward, a wretched coward," he said, and moved forward again; but once more he paused.
Among all the incidents of the day, one recurred to his mind to the exclusion of the rest; although now that his self-control was regained, and he was no longer under the influence of a nightmare, he was able to think of it calmly. It concerned the knife on Rogojin's table. "Why should not Rogojin have as many knives on his table as he chooses?" thought the prince, wondering at his suspicions, as he had done when he found himself looking into the cutler's window. "What could it have to do with me?" he said to himself again, and stopped as if rooted to the ground by a kind of paralysis of limb such as attacks people under the stress of some humiliating recollection.
The doorway was dark and gloomy at any time; but just at this moment it was rendered doubly so by the fact that the thunder-storm had just broken, and the rain was coming down in torrents.
And in the semi-darkness the prince distinguished a man standing close to the stairs, apparently waiting.
There was nothing particularly significant in the fact that a man was standing back in the doorway, waiting to come out or go upstairs; but the prince felt an irresistible conviction that he knew this man, and that it was Rogojin. The man moved on up the stairs; a moment later the prince passed up them, too. His heart froze within him. "In a minute or two I shall know all," he thought.
The staircase led to the first and second corridors of the hotel, along which lay the guests' bedrooms. As is often the case in Petersburg houses, it was narrow and very dark, and turned around a massive stone column.
On the first landing, which was as small as the necessary turn of the stairs allowed, there was a niche in the column, about half a yard wide, and in this niche the prince felt convinced that a man stood concealed. He thought he could distinguish a figure standing there. He would pass by quickly and not look. He took a step forward, but could bear the uncertainty no longer and turned his head.
The eyes — the same two eyes — met his! The man concealed in the niche had also taken a step forward. For one second they stood face to face.
Suddenly the prince caught the man by the shoulder and twisted him round towards the light, so that he might see his face more clearly.
Rogojin's eyes flashed, and a smile of insanity distorted his countenance. His right hand was raised, and something glittered in it. The prince did not think of trying to stop it. All he could remember afterwards was that he seemed to have called out:
"Parfen! I won't believe it."
Next moment something appeared to burst open before him: a wonderful inner light illuminated his soul. This lasted perhaps half a second, yet he distinctly remembered hearing the beginning of the wail, the strange, dreadful wail, which burst from his lips of its own accord, and which no effort of will on his part could suppress.
Next moment he was absolutely unconscious; black darkness blotted out everything.
He had fallen in an epileptic fit.
As is well known, these fits occur instantaneously. The face, especially the eyes, become terribly disfigured, convulsions seize the limbs, a terrible cry breaks from the sufferer, a wail from which everything human seems to be blotted out, so that it is impossible to believe that the man who has just fallen is the same who emitted the dreadful cry. It seems more as though some other being, inside the stricken one, had cried. Many people have borne witness to this impression; and many cannot behold an epileptic fit without a feeling of mysterious terror and dread.
Such a feeling, we must suppose, overtook Rogojin at this moment, and saved the prince's life. Not knowing that it was a fit, and seeing his victim disappear head foremost into the darkness, hearing his head strike the stone steps below with a crash, Rogojin rushed downstairs, skirting the body, and flung himself headlong out of the hotel, like a raving madman.
The prince's body slipped convulsively down the steps till it rested at the bottom. Very soon, in five minutes or so, he was discovered, and a crowd collected around him.
A pool of blood on the steps near his head gave rise to grave fears. Was it a case of accident, or had there been a crime? It was, however, soon recognized as a case of epilepsy, and identification and proper measures for restoration followed one another, owing to a fortunate circumstance. Colia Ivolgin had come back to his hotel about seven o'clock, owing to a sudden impulse which made him refuse to dine at the Epanchins', and, finding a note from the prince awaiting him, had sped away to the latter's address. Arrived there, he ordered a cup of tea and sat sipping it in the coffee-room. While there he heard excited whispers of someone just found at the bottom of the stairs in a fit; upon which he had hurried to the spot, with a presentiment of evil, and at once recognized the prince.
The sufferer was immediately taken to his room, and though he partially regained consciousness, he lay long in a semi-dazed condition.
The doctor stated that there was no danger to be apprehended from the wound on the head, and as soon as the prince could understand what was going on around him, Colia hired a carriage and took him away to Lebedeff's. There he was received with much cordiality, and the departure to the country was hastened on his account. Three days later they were all at Pavlofsk.

Iran takes football to its heart
The BBC's Jim Muir looks at the meteoric rise of football in Iran.
It's hard to say when it happened, but nobody would dispute the fact that football has overtaken wrestling to become Iran's number one sport.
The country has rapidly become a land of football nuts.
Every time their national team plays - win or lose - hundreds of thousands of people take to the streets, sometimes angry, sometimes jubilant, sometimes just to be there.
As with most other things in the region, the British are to blame.
Early oil prospectors introduced the game to Bakhtiari tribesmen in the south-west of the country early in the 20th century.
It's never looked back.
Iranian football began to make international headway under the Shah.
In 1978, the national team made it through to the World Cup finals in Argentina, where their best result was to hold Scotland to a 1-1 draw.
After the revolution the following year, the game went into decline somewhat, as the flower of Iranian youth was crushed in the machine of eight years of war with Iraq.
But, in the 1990s, football went on the rampage, as Iran first lifted the Asia cup in 1990, and then booked its place in the World Cup finals of 1998.
At that event, the team scored a famous 2-1 victory over the country's political foe, the USA.
It was during that campaign that a new phenomenon - the eruption into the streets of huge, boisterous crowds - took off.
For the Islamic regime, this is an unsettling business.
Girls sometimes rip their headscarves off and wave them in the air, dancing and singing.
Such behaviour is dourly frowned upon by the ayatollahs.
Football has definitely become a vehicle for thinly-disguised social and even political protest against their rule.
Some of the crowds have chanted anti-regime slogans.
"It's the main thing in Iranian society," said one football fan.
"In my neighbourhood everybody goes out into the streets. It's a good excuse for boys and girls to mix, and in a way it's political, because it's a demand for social change."
Curiously, despite its popularity, there isn't much money in Iranian football.
Its two-division Azadegan League is one of very few amateur leagues left in Asia.
Most of the players have other jobs and the record club-to-club transfer stands at something like US$10,000.
No wonder then that nine of the Iranian national squad play for European clubs.
The first division - comprising 12 teams with four relegated each year - is dominated by the two big Tehran teams, Pirouzi and Istighlal.
No other team has ever come close to challenging their supremacy.
Until Iran's current manager, Croatian Miroslav Blazevic, took over last year, those two powerhouses always provided all of the players for the national squad.
Blazevic broke the mould by bringing in four players from other parts of the country, adding an element of raw talent to the more honed skills on offer.
Although enthusiasms are fickle, Blazevic currently enjoys a god-like status for both players and fans.
His team lost only one game in the qualifying rounds - to Bahrain - after which the instinctive reaction of many fans was to blame not the manager but their government.
The Republic of Ireland have never played Iran before but will need to watch out for veteran striker and captain Ali Daei and attacking midfielder Ali Karimi.
Other Iranian players to keep an eye on are midfielder Karim Bagheri - whose spell with Charlton last year made him the first Iranian to play in the Premier League - Hamburg midfielder Mehdi Mahdavi-Kia, and Sturm Graz's Mehrdad Minovand.

Games with Gold
For those who don't already know, Microsoft is giving away free Xbox 360 games for Xbox LIVE Gold members.
Beginning on the 1st and then 16th of each month, two games will be available for download absolutely free for Xbox LIVE Gold members starting on July 1st.
To launch the program, beginning on June 10th and running until month's end, Fable III is available for free to Xbox LIVE Gold members. I've heard rumour that Assassins Creed II and Halo 3 will follow suit.
While this is clearly taking the concept of the Instant Game Collection from PlayStation Plus, which has been received extremely well, the difference is that you get to keep any game you download even if you revert back to an Xbox LIVE Free member. Unlike PlayStation Plus however, Games with Gold only runs until December 31st, 2013.
While I wouldn't say that you should run out and buy an Xbox LIVE Gold membership just for this, let's face it, the games revealed for the program thus far are older, it is something and does add some real value to the ridiculously overinflated cost of Xbox LIVE Gold. Without this, everyone knows an Xbox LIVE Gold membership is a blatant rip-off at full price, and Microsoft has struggled for some time now to truly justify its value. This is better than nothing, at least.
For full details on Games with Gold, check out the official page here.

I was looking for "proper" way to tell REST API client on which page it is and provide guidance for further traversing.
First I was considering Apigility approach which attaches something like this to the response:
{ "items": [...], "__meta": { "prev": "http://example.com/items?page=1" "next": "http://example.com/items?page=2" } }
Steve Baker via Compfight
RESTful dog (couldn't stop myself)
The problem is it isn't really RESTful. So I was searching, and searching, and googling, and… bam! There's something called RFC 5988. Github uses this approach so I think this is my approach also. User Link header:
Link: <http://example.com/items?page=2>; rel="next", \ <http://example.com/items?page=2662>; rel="last"
No metadata in response body. Just look for "Relation Name" in rfc to see what you can use. For pagination specifically:
"previous" (and it's synonym "prev")

- You must dim your lights to low beams within 500 feet of a vehicle coming toward you or within 300 feet of a vehicle you are following.
- You must turn on your headlights if snow, rain, fog, dust, or low visibility (1,000 feet or less) requires the use of windshield wipers.
- If you are involved in a collision, you must move your vehicle out of the traffic lane (unless it is disabled) when it is safe to do so. Law enforcement may tow or impound your vehicle if it is left in an unsafe area and causes safety concerns.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Days away from its U.S. opening, 10 percent of "Star Trek" fans planning to see the movie say in a survey that they plan to show up to theaters in costume, online ticket seller Fandango.com said on Tuesday.
Also, 67 percent of Fandango users expecting to see the film are men, the company said, based on its survey of nearly 4,000 movie goers.
"Star Trek" and its space-traveling crew appears to be hurtling toward anticipated blockbuster figures when it debuts across the United States this week. It already accounts for 75 percent of ticket sales at Fandango.
The firm also said the film from director J.J. Abrams has already sold out dozens of screenings in the United States.
"Star Trek" opens on Thursday night and is the 11th film in the franchise. It features the original characters, including Captain Kirk and Spock, and traces their youthful beginnings.
The part of Captain Kirk was originally played by William Shatner, starting in 1966 with a TV series and extending to several films. Shatner is not in the latest movie (Kirk is played by 28-year-old Chris Pine), but 64 percent of those in the Fandango survey said they were unconcerned about that.
Forty-eight percent said they are a fan of Abrams. The director's previous films include the 2006 "Mission: Impossible III,," and he is an executive producer of TV series "Lost."

While I've been recovering from a very bad bout of food poisoning, a troupe of industrious House Buntings have decided to invade our apartment.
They fly in at the slightest sign of a window left ajar, demanding seeds and hopping all over the place, inspecting our slippers and perching atop furniture!
Cheeky little birds. They take their name seriously!

Often, I recall a memory deep in the vault of my childhood history. Its a good memory.
Its probably the one and only time in my life when I have been praised and genuinely congratulated by people above me for doing a good job.
The year was 2002, and third grade and the war on Iraq were both in full swing when the first anniversary of the September 11 terrorist attacks was being remembered. I think back on third grade as being the time when kids do as they are told, especially back then. Nowadays, kids are the fucking worst. Any who, on the day of remembrance, we were given the assignment of drawing a huge american flag on a standard white sheet of copy paper. Many, if not all, of Mr. A's class took this time as "free time." And I mean, why not, right? The television that hung on the top corner of the class where the chalk board and the supply closet intersected was turned to CNN; that ribbon of information that runs at the bottom of the screen is undeniably a trademark. I can't say I remember very clearly what was being said in the newscast. What I am certain of is that it was all about "new evidence" of Bin Laden's incrimination and Al Qaeda's motive and you know, all that good stuff that resurfaces after a year or so.
A year prior to that day, I remember arriving at school wearing this cool little jacket that resembled the Texas flag. I got off the bus and headed straight to homeroom with Mrs. T. I placed my jacket on the back of the red desk chairs and was excited to begin another great school day. After reciting the mandatory Pledge of Allegiance and Star Spangled Banner, we waited for Mrs. T to come back into the classroom to instruct us to get our vocabulary books so we could begin the lesson for the day. Mrs. T finally made her way back into the class, and immediately turned on the TV. I can speak for my ex-classmates when I say that we all thought we were going to have a free day. The TV was on, but we couldn't quite understand what was going on; the cartoons were not on. Instead, the news were on and Mrs. T shifted quickly from the hallway to the classroom, to Ms. L's class across the hallway, back to our class. Maybe it was my precociousness that noticed anxiety and anguish in my teacher as she made her way without letting us know what was going on. Maybe it was just that. She finally entered the classroom, for what seemed would be for good this time and shut the door behind her. She said to us, "Kids, listen. Do you see what's going on right now? Its a terrorist attack on the World Trade Center in New York City. Its bad people hurting our country." And then we saw the second tower get hit by the second plane.
It really is weird and is still so absurd to me how it is that I remember all this. That morning, her actions, her words and my reaction and how I felt.
So the year after all that, remembering everything from that day was easy and that assignment was nothing, really. But I decided I wanted to do something else and not follow what the typical activity was. I was aware that every single student in that class room was going to do the same: A drawing of an American Flag, with crooked stripes and an incomplete number of stars because their box was either too small to fit all fifty or simply because they were stupid or lazy enough to do it right. No. I was thinking outside the box when the the rush of sensory memory came over me. I was on a fucking roll, and I was going to do something that I thought really represented what I thought of that day and what it meant to me.
So on that standard white sheet of copy paper, I drew two men. One of these men was wearing a black robe and a turban, the other wore the uniform of a soldier. I still didn't identify who these men were or what their actions towards each other might of been. It wasn't until I drew hands on them, one centered in the middle, extended towards each other, the other at their side. The Soldier held the Iraqi flag and the Muslim held the American flag, as they shared a little flower as a symbol of peace between them. I colored everything in, but then realized that wasn't the assignment and because nervous at the thought of getting a bad grade. I took my drawing over to Mr. A hoping for the best, but really expecting the worst. He looked at me in surprise. He said to me, "Wait for me here." He walked out of the class and didn't come back for a while. In the mean time, the little shitheads working on their flags kept teasing me saying, "Ooh, he's gonna go get the principal," "You're in trouble!" I have to admit, their words got to me and so did the urge to piss my undies.
Mr. A came back and with him were the rest of the teachers from down the hallway. "Who is she?!" They asked, as if I was being incriminated of a wrongdoing. "This is her. This is Gabriela." My heart sank and a gulp of saliva made its way down my trachea…ever…so….slowly.
"CONGRATULATIONS!" "Its very good!" "Good job!" "How did you think of this?" "Who taught you this?"….the questions and compliments came from all of those adults standing above me like skyscrapers. All I could do was smile. But looking back, I think of how sad/cool it was that teachers didn't think third grade students had it in them to think outside the box and deviate from a mundane assignment to make it their own and make it different.
Every time I think of this time in my life, I realize that this has been the only time since then that someone with authority has said to me, "Good job!" and really meant it. I don't get that a lot nowadays. I'd hate to think that my third grade achievement in drawing a mirage of a nonexistent reality is as far as I'll ever get. That drawing happened 13 years ago. That drawing has since then disappeared or was misplaced or something. Maybe its not in my life to look at anymore so I won't be reminded that that is as far as I can go. Because, let's face it, if I had the chance to draw that all over again, I'd totally make my 9 year old self's drawing look like an inferior piece of shit.

Whether at age eight or eighty, there is something endlessly fascinating about the beauty of a soap bubble. Jason Tozer captures the fleeting colors and swirls of suds in his series of high resolution photographs. The London-based artist used a Hasselblad camera with a 135mm lens along with a lighting technique that required a large dome to illuminate the surface of each bubble. Resembling oil slicks or the atmospheres of alien worlds, the photographs highlight a subject that is at once familiar and foreign.
Jason Tozer's work spans the gamut from personal to professional, working as both an artist for commercial and self-directed projects. Influenced by the confluence of art and technology from an early age, Tozer's body of work includes both editorial advertising and exploration of natural forms. His series of magnified bubble photographs appear almost abstract, showcasing a rainbow of colors suspended in the soap's thin film. To capture his subjects, he used a Hasselblad camera outfitted with a 65 megappixel PhaseOne digital back on a set of extension bellows. He constructed a huge 2 by 3 meter perspex dome to change the lighting and heighten the details.
Organic and bordering on psychedelic, the patterns and shapes of the bubbles were manipulated with a straw to create swirls resembling the weather patterns of planets. Each hue is true to reality with no after-effects manipulation. Tozer has also completed similar series of pictures with smoke, ice, and broken glass.

Our "What we brought back" series will look at different students and the mementos they keep as reminders of the people, places, and experiences from their study abroad programs all over the world.
Name: Andrew Mines
Class of: 2018
Major: Near Eastern Languages and Civilizations
Location: Rabat, Morocco
Program: Middle Eastern Civilizations
Best part of your trip in five words: Exploring every weekend with friends
To buy something from a street market in Morocco isn't as simple as looking at a price tag and handing over your money. You're expected to bargain. "It's very much a game," Mines explained.
The merchant will set the price, and the buyer will then offer a counter-price. While the seller tries to make you pay more, you try to make him sell the item for less. Eventually, the two of you will come to a compromise and will both leave satisfied. It's a lot of work, especially if you're playing the bargain game in a language you don't even know! "Though exhausting, [it] was quite the fun experience….and my language skills improved just from repeatedly arguing prices in the market," said Mines.
What he brought back
A traditional Moroccan tea set complete with a large silver pot and bright colorful tea glasses.
Mines knew for sure that the one thing he had to bring back to remember his time in Morocco was a tea set. "Tea is an essential part of Moroccan culture…We had it with breakfast and dinner, and oftentimes at different points in the day," he said. "The concept of sitting down with friends and/or family for tea provides a much-needed pause in the day."
So he set off into the medina, the word for an old part of a town or city. The area is usually walled in and so narrow that there isn't even enough space for a car. Mines wanted a tea set (not just the tea) as he was particularly struck by the intricate details and artwork on many of the glasses and pots he had used throughout his trip. After he found the perfect set, Mines recalls that "in typical Moroccan fashion, [the vendor] offered to have me over to his place to serve me tea (out of the very set I was buying)."
Now that Mines is back at UChicago for spring quarter, he still tries to make time a few afternoons a week to continue the habit he picked up while abroad—taking that "much-needed pause" and drinking tea. Although making time has proven difficult, Mines says that it is also necessary for him.
A beautiful henna lamp from the popular city of Marrakech. The town is one of the most vibrant cities in Morocco, filled with palaces, mosques, gardens, and marketplaces. The colorful market square, Djemaa el-Fna, is usually packed with storytellers, musicians, and merchants. It's also where Mines picked up his next item, a traditional Moroccan henna lamp.
The lamps are made usually of sheep or goat skin that is stretched around a wrought iron frame and then dyed. Henna artists will use a needle to meticulously draw intricate patterns and motifs directly on the lamp shade. This technique has been passed down for generations and the lamps are a traditional artwork in Moroccan culture. Mines chose the lamp that most reminded him of the colors of Djemaa el-Fna lit up at night.

I woke up a week ago Wednesday. From in the shower Rick asks, "How are you doing today?
"Good. It's a Kathy day," I replied.
"It's a happy day?"
"A Kathy day."
"Kathy is coming today."
"Oh, I was right then. It's a happy day."
Yes, he was so right. Every time Kathy comes it is a joy and a blessing.
After telling Kathy the story, we both took out our phones and marked February first as a recurrent holiday, our "Happy Day." We are already planning to go out to coffee or lunch or something to celebrate next year. :)
Update: Stroke of Grace has become In Darkness Sing and has moved to JenniferSaake.com.
Thirty-nine-year-old Jennifer Saake (founder, Hannah's Prayer Ministries), experienced 6 strokes via vertebral dissection at a chiropractic office, including brain stem and cerebellum bleeds, in Oct. 2011. Jenni remained hospitalized for nearly 2 months and was not expected to live (near death experience) nor recover, but if she even survived, she was slated to live out her days in a nursing home or, best case, to maybe come home but wheelchair-bound and needing 24-hour care. At 5 years, 7 months God showed how He was writing her story from the beginning.
Jenni is currently writing more books and stays active on both Facebook and Pinterest. Stroke of Grace became In Darkness Sing in early 2018 and has moved, along with all five of Jennifer's active blogs, to one location at JenniferSaake.com.
Since Jenni's chiropractor carried no insurance and moved out of the country soon after the accident (thus avoiding any legal or financial consequences), if you would like to help contribute to the Saake (pronounced like the two small words, say and key) family's massive financial needs (medical expenses alone are estimated to cost between $1- and $1.5- Million in Jenni's lifetime), please visit Jennifer Saake's Stroke Survivor GoFundMe Page. (This support information has been added in direct response to several reader requests.) The Saakes sincerely thank you for your prayers and if God prompts and equips you to send any monetary assistance as well, this is a significant added blessing.
Saturday, February 11, 2017
Happy Day

For those of you who're at present looking for references vehicles that shall be launched in 2017 or 2018 you'll be able to look at this web site. 2018 Lexus Ls 500 Release Date And Price is likely one of the vehicles to be launched within the subsequent year among the many types and kinds of various brands of vehicles that may promote the brand new products with the many benefits of each. if you wish to purchase a brand new car like this 2018 Lexus Ls 500 Release Date And Price perhaps you want to contemplate a number of issues before deciding to buy it. Many individuals dream of shopping for a brand new car, partly because they assume, sometimes wrongly, that it is going to be fully dependable and they're going to by no means have a real issues with it. Whilst a brand new car generally is very dependable and will have a manufacturer's guarantee for a period of years, some folks do have issues with new vehicles, though fortunately it's fairly uncommon.

If somebody is intent on buying a brand new car, then one of the issues that they actually ought to have in mind is literally when to buy it, i.e. at what time of year. This in some methods goes against the grain of someone wanting to buy a brand new car and the entire sense of impulse buying that goes with it. If somebody is prepared to bide their time, they can often get a brand new car at a considerably better value than they might do at one other time of year. There are numerous causes for this, but perhaps the obvious one is that all manufacturers and car sales have an annual cycle when new vehicles are introduced. It is a part of the momentum of any manufacturing base, and the car/auto business is usually on the forefront. Releasing a brand new mannequin with new options and new toys, as a part of it, is an important a part of producing interest and keenness within the mannequin and hopefully producing sales. It follows intently that when a brand new mannequin is introduced, the worth of what was the mannequin beforehand instantly loses a whole lot of its enchantment.There's a lot to be mentioned for folks to use this as a possibility to buy their new car, i.e. what's now the previous mannequin, as quickly as the brand new mannequin is introduced. As quickly as the brand new mannequin comes out, the dealership will have an inventory or stock of the previous mannequin that they will be eager or determined get rid of. Anybody who understands the mechanics or funds of shopping for a brand new car will respect that a purchaser has appreciable leverage at this point. There's also one other actually good cause for doing this. When any manufacturer introduces a brand new mannequin there is an apparent sense of excitement, but there can be teething issues that may take some time to iron out. That is most clearly seen within the software program business, where it's often a very good idea to attend a year or two before buying a brand new computer or upgrading to a brand new working system just because it takes a bit of time to cope with any issues or bugs there could also be. This applies also very much to the car/auto business where it can take a sure period of time for a mannequin to stabilise and change into embedded within the manufacturers portfolio of automobiles. It is usually price being conscious that if a dealership has stock that they need to get rid at any given time they will offer vital financial savings via various inducements, loyalty offers and incentives to buy. These may or may not run at the side of a brand new mannequin being produced, but they will even have sure specific occasions of year when they need to release their stock. These occasions of year are normally opportunities for nice financial savings. As soon as a person has determined what sort of car they wish to purchase it's price researching what occasions of year a manufacturer or dealership is likely to offer theses financial savings after which be keen to attend till such a time within the calendar to buy the vehicle.

Sure, in the history department at Bryan College we do discuss names and dates, but we want to learn from history. All of those little details create context for interpretation. Rub brains with your professors and your peers in an effort to find your historical voice and in the process observe how relationships with Christ throughout history have radically and consistently caused individuals to change the course of their lives.
We like history; we love our students. Teaching is what takes place in the lives of our students as we work through what we call "Life 101" using the discipline of history and the search for truth, which while never relative, is often elusive.
As one of our recent graduates wrote, "I wanted to thank you for all of the time and energy you have put into me and my education over the past four years. Being a history major has been so amazing, and I have learned more than I ever thought possible! Thank you for pushing me to do my best and encouraging me along the way. I will never forget the lessons I have learned here, both from history and from life."

I really love how productive this project has made me be this year. It was a fantastic inspiration on your part! :)

Hey Katie! I've been productive, but very little stash busting this month. All I have is a UFO that was finally sewn up - it was originally knitted a couple of years ago, but I never got round to sewing it up, and the baby it was for just kept growing! So I finally sewed it up recently, and luckily there was another baby to give it to:

Hi Katie! I emailed you via my work account...and I know that sometimes that doesn't "work" for us (weak joke, sorry). So I'm messaging you here, sorry if it's a repeat. I'd love to submit my ceramic doll dresses...if they apply. There were in my stash of crafting forever before I figured out just what to do with them. Here's the link if you think it'll work: http://cassiestephens.blogspot.com/2012/05/diy-shadow-box-memories.html
Thanks, Katie!

The Bills have released the veteran after just one season.
Six-year veteran linebacker Keith Rivers has been released by the Buffalo Bills, the team announced on Tuesday.
Rivers, 28, was signed to a two-year deal by the Bills in March 2014 after spending two seasons with the New York Giants. Rivers started three games and appeared in 12 for Buffalo, playing on 17 percent of the team's defensive snaps and recording 16 tackles.
Rivers dealt with a groin injury throughout last season and competed with rookie Preston Brown for playing time.
• Kansas City Chiefs release WR Donnie Avery, waive WR A.J. Jenkins
Rivers was selected with the ninth pick of the 2008 draft by Cincinnati, where he collected 185 tackles, two sacks and two interceptions in 35 games over three seasons. In 27 games in two seasons with the Giants, he had 83 tackles and two fumble recoveries.
The Bills will save $1.7 million in 2015 salary cap money due to Rivers' departure.

Health care networks attend to some of America's most vulnerable citizens, from seniors to newborns, and the seriously ill to the grievously injured.
Protecting patients' safety and welfare is key to any health care organization's mission, and the prospect of hiring someone who may jeopardize this is simply unacceptable.
And with lower cost margins and tight budgets, the last thing a hospital needs is increased liability caused by an employee's unprofessional or criminal behavior. improving the background screening porcess mitigates an organization's liability exposure and, most importantly, protects the patient.
This white paper discusses health care industry business drivers, employee screening trends, top screening gaps, and best practices organizations use to bridge those gaps.

Sun In Scorpio: Significance and Meaning
Dates: October 24th – November 22nd
Element And Quality: Water & Fixed
Celebrities With Sun In Scorpio: Julia Roberts, Jodie Foster, Pablo Picasso, Marie Curie
Keywords for Sun in Scorpio: Mysterious, Intuitive, Determined, Passionate, Secretive
Sun In Scorpio: Personality Profile
Scorpios are mysterious, powerful people, and the Sun in Scorpio intensifies these traits. The Sun represents individuality, and Scorpions keep their personality close to the vest. Because of this, others only see a darker facade that they maintain as long as possible, while they are silently figuring out everyone else.
Having this kind of intuitive nature means Scorpios can sometimes be intimidating, for while they are closed off to the rest of the world they know exactly what's going on around them. And the Sun in Scorpio amplifies their ability to read any situation, which often gives them an edge in their career.
Scorpio Sun: Positive Traits
The Sun in Scorpio people love a good challenge and will face any adversity head-on. Give them a goal and they will not only reach it, they will go beyond to the next level as soon as possible. And while they go after something with everything they've got, they are also incredibly patient.
Because of this balance they are often extremely successful, which plays into their desire for power. And they don't care about being in the spotlight. In fact, they would rather not bother with the fame.
All they care about is the fortune and the control that comes along with it. While it's not easy getting close to a Scorpio, especially those with the Sun in Scorpio, it is usually a memorable experience or relationship. Scorpios treat everyone they know and love as important and meaningful in their life.
Scorpio Sun: Negative Traits
The Sun in Scorpio also makes them intensely loyal and, because of this, fairly possessive of their friends and loved ones. They put as much effort into their relationships as they do their career, and they expect the same amount of effort back. This can be overbearing for some, who may be more easy-going or carefree in their lifestyle.
It can be difficult to hang with the Scorpio Sun sign unless you try to understand their immense depth. While Scorpios maintain a cool exterior, there is plenty of chaos going on underneath. They have many layers struggling with the emotions of being a water sign, for they experience life in a very intense manner.
They take in everything going on around them and process it in a way that strains their physical, mental and emotional state. Because of this, it's important to give the Scorpio man or woman their space once in a while so they can fully recharge and regroup.
You will not find anyone more deeply concerned and involved in what's going on with those in their inner circle. And anyone they take on as a lover is completely physically satisfied, for only in the bedroom do they allow someone to swim their deeper levels. You have to be careful though, not to upset the Scorpio, for they have a vicious temper.
If they feel even the least bit slighted they will unleash their stinger, and they are not quick to forgive and forget (if ever). It doesn't take much for them to feel betrayed, even if the other person made an innocent mistake.
But if you can stay on their good side, they will do anything and everything to make you happy. They take every aspect of life very seriously, and the Sun brings out their ability to overcome whatever is thrown their way. While it's not always sunny skies with a Scorpio, it is always an interesting venture.

BUIES CREEK, N.C. – Lexie Vanada homered twice and a solo shot from Jade Gandara led Charleston Southern to a 6-4 win over Campbell on Friday night at Amanda Littlejohn Stadium.
The victory sealed the Buccaneers' (23-34, 8-11) spot in the Big South Tournament next week at Longwood. Vanada and Gandara combined for three home runs to help the Bucs set a new program season record of 63 homers. The record was formerly set by CSU's 2015 team, with 62 home runs collectively.
Jade Gandara connected for a solo home run on two outs in the top of the first to give the Bucs an early 1-0 advantage. The Fighting Camels (29-23, 13-6) answered back in the bottom of the inning with a three-run homer from Big South leader Amber Schisler to set the score at 3-1 after one complete frame.
Schisler helped Campbell get another run across in the bottom of the third with a leadoff double to right center. Melissa Tullar followed with an RBI double to give the Fighting Camels the 4-1 lead.
CSU's bats got hot in the fourth frame as the Bucs recorded three runs off of three hits. Caitlyn Emberson led off with a double to right center and Mallory Kasinger put runners on the corners with a single to left center. Vanada cleared the bases and tied up the game at 4-4 with a drive to deep left field for her first home run of the season.
Arizona Pilgrim (7-10) went to the circle for the Bucs in the bottom of the inning and retired Campbell's side in order. Pilgrim split the effort with starter Holly Clark and recorded three strikeouts while allowing one hit over four frames. Clark retired two of the Fighting Camels on strikes through the first three innings.
Emberson led CSU off with another base hit in the top of the sixth and a sacrifice bunt from Stephanie Bergmann moved pinch runner Taylor Powell to second. With two outs, Vanada connected on her second home run of the game to give the Bucs a 6-4 lead they would not relinquish.
Pilgrim once again set the side down in order in the bottom of the frame and allowed just one hit in the final inning to seal the CSU victory and the Bucs' spot in the Big South Tournament.
CSU now turns its attention to tomorrow as it wrap up its last regular season series with a doubleheader at Campbell. First pitch between the Bucs and the Fighting Camels is set for 2:00 p.m. on ESPN3 with the series finale set to follow.
