I bought myself a PDF Bargello pattern called Eye of the Storm (and for October 2017 most patterns on THIS SITE are less 50%) and once I decided on my colour and found all the fabric needed, I could start cutting 2½" strips from all 6 colours. The quilt on the pattern was in purple but being from central South Africa, with very little rain, our storms are usually just masses of dust, so I chose browns.
The next step was to lay out my strips according to colour and sew these together, praying the whole time that one of the cats wouldn't jump on my strips and distort the order.
I tried glue basting and it worked fantastic. Once I've laid out a series of strips, I glue basted and heat set these and could go to the machine in one session and simply string piece the seams. I am not too sure I would use it for ordinary blocks but for Bargello's it is a definite must! Glue basting also helped when I woke up at 4 am and without waking up granddaughter, whose room is opposite of my sewing room, with the noise of the machine I could start getting strip sets ready.
Only on page 3 of the instructions and this is already the amount that I've sewn. These are not necessarily all single strip sets, some are sets of 5 (all pinned together).

Hello again! As I mentioned in my previous post, I was able to knock out two weeks of Project Life in the last couple of days. I'm so happy to be so close to caught-up! And I'm super excited to share another layout with you! Here is my most recent spread....
Life Documented
August 25 - August 31
|Week 35: Full Spread
We absolutely love Summer! And I'm having a blast documenting each and every day of it! This week was pretty chill, but fun nonetheless. I captured some wonderful photos, and a simple and laid back day at the neighborhood park was the highlight of our week! I mixed it up a bit with different types of journal and filler cards, and played around with some extra embellishments.
|Week 35: Right Page
Here I'm using a Hobby Lobby pocket page continued from Week 34. I stuffed it with all sorts of cards! I really enjoy playing with different designers, collections, and supplies. Especially when creating handmade cards! I also love pairing cool printables with designer journal cards! The title card is Kraft paper from Amy T's Ready Set Go line. I added a Cameo cut, printable arrow tag, some paper deco tape, and a Daiso brad.
|Week 35: Left Page - Close Up
The 4"x 6" journal card is also from Amy Tangerine's Ready Set Go line. I used it document a special moment, and added a washi tape flag pointing to the accompanying photo card. That small card was made from my scraps. It holds a wallet-size instagram pic and a potty girl cut on my Cameo. I added a little heart to her chest. That's me! Love my man <3
I needed to fill some space so I raided my stash for a calendar card. This one with the little squirrel is so stinkin' cute! I used an Ali Edwards calendar stamp to mark off the week.
|Week 35: Left Page | Close Up
This 4"x 6" card is the reverse side of the Ki Memories paper from last week. I added a 4"x 4" instagram photo, a cutout journal tag from Crate Paper, and a print-and-cut label. I used a Dear Lizzy roller stamp to finish it off.
The 4"x 3" cards are from We R Memory Keepers and Recollections. I added a wallet-size instapic, print-and-cut label, and a Dymo label to the WRMK card. I wrote my daughter's name directly onto the photo using an American Crafts Slick Writer pen.
|Week 35: Left Page | A Top Ten Card
I used a fun journal card to fill this spot in the layout. I liked the idea of a Top Ten list to document my "Everyday Delights" from the Summer. I added a star badge [cut with my Cameo] for a little extra embellishment.
|Week 35: Right Page
I decided to use the same Hobby Lobby pocket page for this side. I like the way they look together, plus I had a ton of photos to use! This whole page documents our day at the neighborhood playground :) Only one journal card was needed, so I filled the remaining pockets with different types of photographs and cards.
|Week 35: Right Page | Close Up
I used a pretty herringbone design by Crate Paper to create a 4"x 6" card. I added some washi tape banners, a print-and-cut camera, and a Dymo label. The smaller pockets have a printable freebie and MAMBI card with another wallet-size instapic. I had some fun with one of my fave PL apps on my Galaxy S3!
I took a wonderful photo of my daughter swinging using the InstaPlace app on Android. [I have the Pro version.] With the help of my phone's GPS, the application is able to apply awesome skins to my photos. So many designs. Perfect for documenting details!
|Week 35: Right Page | Close Up
I used this woodgrain paper from Crate Paper, as the base of my "Tire Swing" card. I stacked two wallet-size square photos, captured from different perspectives. Some B&W twine, butterfly cuts, and Doodlebug alphabet stickers complete the card.
|Week 35: Right Page | Close Up
I saved one of the large pockets for the photo-of-the-day: a full-size 4"x 6" picture of Kiani and Daddy on the monkey bars. It's my favorite! The last pocket has a printable journal card talking about our day at the local playground. I added a snapshot of the sign and entrance.
The last of the small cards are sweet and simple. A black and white MAMBI card with yellow striped Target brand washi holds the instagram photo of My Loves. I used a free printable with a funky triangle design as the background for another awesome instagram photo. Yes, it's a smartphone app! This time I used InstaWeather on Android [I have the Pro version] to document the gorgeous day. Again, with your phone's GPS the app is able to add location-based skins and weather information to your photos. I love using it for my Project Life!
Whew... I can't believe I knocked out two layouts in two days! Now I'm only 1 week behind! I think I'll be doing this again for the next two weeks of Project Life... then I'll be all caught up!! Awesome.
I hope you enjoyed my post! I'll be linking up with The Mom Creative again, so be sure to stop by for inspiration. If you would like to see how my album is coming along, you can find it here. Looking for the printables I used in this week's spread? Check out my "SMASH* & PL" or "Printables/Templates" pinboards on Pinterest. Lots of great inspiration too! Be sure to follow those boards because I find new stuff daily!
You can stay updated with my recent posts, projects, and photos by following me on instagram, and by "liking" my new fan page on Facebook. So why not head over there now and show some love...
Are you a Project Lifer? How's it going for you so far? I'd love to hear it! Any thoughts, questions, or comments about this post? Please let me know. Your feedback is always welcome and much appreciated!
Thanks for stopping by!

Our Students >
A parent recently stopped by my office, and I asked her what struck her on her first visit to the school.
"Kindness," she replied, "I immediately felt that this is a place where everyone -teachers-children-parents - treat each other with kindness. And I knew that with genuine kindness in place, learning, friendship, and creativity would just flow for my kids. After a year here, this still holds true for me. My kids are thriving here."
It was gratifying to hear this. This was our aim from the start, and it is still before us. When we view each other as unique human beings, then respect and kindness naturally follow.
Take a look at "snapshots in time" of student experiences:

Sora is a full figured Filipino bargirl from Manila, Philippines who isn't necessarily the best fuck, but she'll do. She is picked up on Trike by a foreign sex tourist and brought back to his hotel for sex. She doesn't full let go during the filming, but you can tell this is not her first rodeo. She sucks cock like a champion, and ends up grinding her pussy into his cock while riding him. Another great adventure for the Trike Patrol in Manila, Philippines this afternoon.

ELECTRONIC communications are evolving rapidly from being almost exclusively letters and numbers to having strong visual and audio elements. Consequently, the opportunities for photographers, artists, and musicians in the new media are at least as attractive as they are for writers.
Visual artists face even more difficulties than poets in getting their work published in print, because the cost of reproducing color is enormous unless amortized over very long runs. It is not unusual for even a black-and-white photographic book with very little text to cost over $10,000 in print preproduction work, often a lot more. Even after such an up-front investment, there is still a lot of work to be done and expense incurred before the project gets as far as ink being pressed onto paper.
Consequently, the self-publishing option has not been a viable one for all but the more affluent artists. Now that situation has changed with the ease that paintings and other forms of expression can be converted into high-quality digital images. Musicians can even use music-reading software to publish electronically, as in Fig. 12-1.
Of course, the format for playing back those images is physically very limited by the small size of the monitor screen. Thousands of artists are finding, however, that the new work-for-hire and self-publishing opportunities that attracted them to experimenting with digital imagery has led to significant creative satisfaction despite the screen limitations. Software paint and drawing programs such as Fauve Matisse help by creating working environments in which artists used to traditional materials can feel more comfortable.
HSC Software's InterActive typifies how creative people in any of the arts can sit down at a quite modest PC running Windows and build on whatever existing skills they have to become multimedia artists and publishers. Writers can work with photographic, line, and paint images; painters can add words and movement to their pictures;
OBS Back Forward Contents Index Align PagePage 295
musicians can create their own imaginative e-book equivalents of music videos. InterActive offers royalty-free runtime distribution, although as with any other authoring program, you still need to check whether it has the flexibility and licensing requirements to meet your particular publishing needs.
In the next few years, a wide selection of the computerized equivalents of livre de peintre limited-edition books will appear, in which poets, artists, and perhaps art dealers cooperate as they did when the genre first appeared in Paris in the 19th century. These new versions of the livre de peintre will have an important function as catalogs to promote original canvases and prints.
OBS Back Forward Contents Index Align PagePage 296
As an artist, try to preserve your skills in natural media when you move to the computer, rather than being swept away by the new technology. Much early computer-generated art is obviously a product of the plastic age, lacking spontaneity, form, and life. That is changing now, but a lot of published work continues to reflect more the computer's skills than the artist's.
The scope for artistic talent in these new media is enormous, particularly for those who carry through and develop the skills they have acquired in traditional media. Consequently, selecting the software in which you work really is important. As you experiment with different programs, you might find that you work more creatively and efficiently in a program that is simple or effectively mimics traditional watercolors or oils than in the most popular or expensive drawing program.
A particularly comprehensive resource for artists moving to digital media is the book Digital Imaging for Visual Artists by Sally Wiener Grotta and Daniel Grotta, published by Windcrest/McGraw-Hill.
In their book, the Grottas point out that, for artists and photographers shopping for hardware to move to the digital media, "separating the hype and hyperbole from the truth is a time-consuming, trial-and-error process best left to disinterested experts who are not trying to sell anything to you." Their book caters for professionals, so they fix their upper price limit for individual hardware components at $20,000. If you want to make nowhere near that kind of investment to get started, both photographers and visual artists can achieve excellent results on complete hardware systems
OBS Back Forward Contents Index Align PagePage 297
under $2,000, and software costing only a few hundred dollars at most.
One reason that you can great results so economically is that the Eastman Kodak Company is spending many millions to try to establish its Photo CD system as a worldwide standard that eventually will replace, to a significant degree, the traditional photographic materials on which the company has built its success. If this doesn't work, Kodak and other companies who have formed alliances with it are in big trouble. Consequently, there are tremendous commercial forces pushing Photo CD forward to make it as safe and universal an electronic publishing format as possible.
To use this system, you can take your pictures with existing photographic equipment. Then, send your films to any one of a growing international network of licensed laboratories that will quickly and economically process them into digital images on a CD disk. If you have a library of existing images that you want in digital form, they will process those also from color slides and prints for as little as under $1 an image.
You can import and manipulate Photo CD images in many authoring programs. In 1994, Kodak's own Photo CD Portfolio Authoring software arrived, enabling the desktop computer user to combine images with text, graphics, sound, and interactive features to create Photo CDs that can be played back on computers or television sets.
Photo CD gives authors the reassurance that they will be able to use competing photo finishers to duplicate their CD titles. They will not be limited to one or two services with little incentive to compete on price, or be forced to buy their own expensive hardware, which can soon be devalued and outdated by the speed with which this technology is moving forward. This is changing the economics of CD publishing, making it far more cost-effective for small enterprises and individuals.
Of particular interest to authors and art directors needing stock photographs, or agencies and professional photographers wanting to market their work, is the Kodak Picture Exchange (800-579-8737).
OBS Back Forward Contents Index Align PagePage 298
The Exchange is essentially an on-line database of photographs, an enormous resource to bring together those with pictures to sell and those seeking to purchase the rights to use a particular type of image. It could transform the marketing of freelance photographs and eliminates much of the cost and risk inherent in shipping expensive slides and prints.
There are four main Photo CD formats. The original Master Disc is aimed at amateurs and professionals working in 35mm. It holds about 100 images with resolution about 16 times greater than that achieved on current NTSC broadcast television receivers. The images can be played through any Photo CD-compatible drive directly to a television or computer, and they can act also as negatives to generate prints up to poster size. The Pro Photo CD Master Disc is aimed at professional photographers and stores high-resolution images in larger film formats as well as in 35mm.
The other two formats are the media that have such strong potential for publishing. Portfolio Discs are appropriate for publishing any kind of picture stories with text and other multimedia features, including stereo sound. Authors have considerable flexibility in making use of the space on the disk. They can preserve high-resolution standards or save space by reducing resolution to make room for graphics and audio. The cost is attractive enough for small-scale publishing, right down to e-books of family events such as weddings.
The Kodak Photo CD Catalog disc format can be used to get as many as 4,400 images onto a disk at lower resolutions still acceptable for many purposes when viewed on monitors or television sets. These disks contain image search and retrieval software, but the images are not suitable for making photographic quality prints.
Kodak and its associates also support the smaller 80mm disk format which is becoming a standard for portable computers and personal

digital assistants. These small disks become an even more attractive publishing medium when you know that they are backwards-compatible with drives for the standard 120mm format.
If you want to capture your own photographic still images electronically, make sure that the camera you choose can download the images to a computer. You can get conversion kits that will enable the early electronic still cameras, notably the Canon Xap-Shot, to generate suitable digital images. Analog to digital converters, popularly known as frame grabbers, also allow single video frames to be incorporated easily into electronic or print documents. Quality is very much dependent on the performance of the digitizer board. It might be low, but still acceptable when the images are used small, as might be the case in a catalog or as a window to supplement a screen of text. In 1994, the Apple QuickTake digital camera launched a new era of affordable, high-quality blending of photography with electronic publishing.
You can use a camcorder to capture images, feeding directly into your video capture card or storing the images on tape for later transfer. This is often not as easy as it sounds, however, but there is now a very interesting alternative for the electronic publisher. VideoLabs' FlexCam is a miniature desktop color camera mounted on a flexible gooseneck arm, which can have a microphone incorporated in it. You can scan documents or capture moving or still images of pictures or three-dimensional objects, focusing down to as close as a quarter-inch to achieve a 50´ magnification. Prices for the various models start at around $600, with PAL, NTSC, and S-video versions available.
This could become a very important tool for the publishers of electronic technical documents and scientific papers. Its applications are really only limited by your imagination. It's like having an electronic eye sitting on the desk beside you, always ready to import any image that you want to incorporate into an e-document.

When you first start to include visual images into electronic publications, you might become frustrated with the difficulties of trying to achieve the standards you have come to expect from print media. The loss of quality will be greatly influenced by the capabilities of your hardware and software, as well as by the characteristics of the original image.
Often, quality will perceive to be improved by using the image smaller--it will also take up less disk space. Or you can turn a problem into extra production values by creatively processing appropriate photographs into impressionist renderings, which can be particularly effective for use as backgrounds. Such illustrations work well for poetry and fiction.
This process can be carried out entirely in the computer using image-editing software. You can also experiment with modifying your original by projecting the slide onto shower-curtain glass or semi-opaque plastic sheeting, and then photographing the image from the other side using a videocamera, still electronic camera, or a conventional camera with the film processed as a Photo CD.
If your original is a print, shoot a copy through textured glass placed over the print. (This is more difficult than working with slides.) Various lenses and filters can also turn a mundane photograph into an artistic impressionist image, which can be imported into the computer for incorporation in an electronic publication without needing to be of high resolution.

HOSL cleanup
Until 22 August 2006, the Buncefield site was under the control of the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) whilst the Major Incident Investigation Board (MIIB) conducted its investigations.
Since August 2006, when the HSE control lifted, we have made significant progress in cleaning-up the site in conditions which are often complex and without precedent. Our priority for all clean up activity is to ensure work is completed safely, to the highest standards and with minimum impact on the environment. Throughout we have worked closely with the Environment Agency (EA) and Health and Safety Executive (HSE) to ensure they are kept informed of significant developments.
Dismantling of the site
In January 2007, we began to dismantle onsite structures. We are currently on track to have dismantled and removed all the onsite structures by the end of 2007. Our priority is to ensure the work and removal is completed to the highest standards and with minimal disruption to local residents and businesses.
Following the incident, HOSL removed firewater and petroleum products from site. The firewater was securely stored at three offsite locations and is now undergoing extensive treatment so that it can be disposed of safely. Responsibility for the treatment of firewater now lies with the BPA.
The firewater contains PFOS (perfluorooctane sulfonate - an organic pollutant), a constituent of the fire fighting foam. At the time, there was no known method for removing it from the water, and no official guidance was available. We therefore commissioned independent research into treatment options and ran trials with more than 21 different types of technology to identify the best way of removing the PFOS from water at each location:
The rainwater run-off from Buncefield is now being treated on site. The EA has been involved in development of a treatment process and has fully approved our approach.
As soon as we were able to after the incident, we began monitoring onsite and offsite locations for possible effects to the groundwater. We continue to conduct extensive monitoring and data analysis with the help of independent and accredited laboratories.
The data we have collected suggests the groundwater situation is stable and we are currently assessing the requirement for its treatment. We have shared all our results with the EA and the local water company, and are continuing to monitor, until it is deemed there is no environmental risk.

It will feature in the top 50 books for 2010 in this week's Listener. Great stuff and am very pleased.
But, me? I'm doing anything but writing. I've mowed the lawns (twice). I've baked muffins and made dinner many nights. I have wiped down the surrounds of the door to the bathroom ( sheesh, no one else notices).
But, most of all, I have been shepherding my two daughters and myself and hubby through the terrible grief which has washed over us re the Pike River Mine disaster.
Big questions: why does God…?
And there in lies the issue. My thoughts are that God does not do but God has established rules – natural and corporal and has given mankind freedom of will. He is not to be blamed for this terrible result but I am certain the heart of God is grieved by the loss of life.
It sucks – majorly. It has been so awful that I have had to turn off radio and telly and I will not read the paper because my heart cannot bare the grief. I am so thankful for our poets and our commentators who are putting the stake in the ground. And, yay for U2 for their acknowledgement.
I will pick up my 'digitised' pen soon but I have given myself permission to sit and weep for the stupid loss of life and ache for the mothers and wives who will never see their men again. I hugged my man tonight when I got home from school. We stood there, both of us, silent and that hug and silence meant so much especially as he had just had a victim support callout to a suicide of a mother just up the road from where we live.
It might seem trite to say this but because our family have had its fair share of pain and suffering this past year or so, I get the question: why? And, sorry to say, the answer is, mostly 'cos shit happens' and we're not talking about dropping our buttered bread.
Rachel's question as to the why at the start of Bloodlines, I think, echos what most of us are feeling at this time. Maybe we try to categorise the 'value' of the men who died. The young Joesph Dundar who is the subject of Gary McCormick's poem; Mary Mccullum's stark poem reminded me that, despite the media, we are talking about 29 individuals, 29 men whose faces are now public when we never knew them before.
My personal view is this:I would like God to interfer and stop people dying like this. Me and God have an appointment to discuss such matters but at the moment I'm not ready for such a meeting.
We weep with the people of Greymouth.

XY3AL6B3Si6 / October / 8th Anniversary
The word tourmaline has its origins in the Sinhalese term turmali, a name given to all coloured crystals
on the island of Sri Lanka at one time. These brightly coloured gems were brought to Europe
in great quantity by the Dutch East India Company to satisfy the demand for gems and curiosities:
tourmaline has pyroelectric properties – the ability to attract and then repel hot ashes –
and was sometimes referred to as Ceylonese (Sri Lankan) Magnet.
More recently, new deposits have been found in Mozambique and Nigeria. African stones are larger
than those mined elsewhere – cut stones over 100 carats in size are known, with 20 carats being typical.
Tourmaline is believed to transform negative energy to positive and attract success.
It is the gemstone of love and friendship, and is said to create solid and long-lasting relationships.

If you buy a search engine optimisation bundle predicated on cheap prices there is a great chance that your search engine optimisation will be executed in a fashion that is out dated and often causes a Google penalty or even worse not turning up in the search engines in any way. When you decide to buy a search engine optimization package predicated on cost you will need to be sure you are getting what you need and not simply seo bundle #1, 2 or 3.
A seo package for a local small business is genuinely unique of a seo package for a national business or even global.

Today seo is no more about keyword stuffing and building thousands of backlinks. A specialist seo consultant doing work on a Tuddenham businesses website has to follow the best seo practices as indicated by Google. The best seo deal for an area city company needs to be considered a balance of on-page specialized seo, high quality article marketing, social media signals such as loves, shares, re-tweets and pins. In addition to really get your website to rank in the #1 position in Google, you'll need to have superior quality links pointing back to the website, from trustworthy authority websites.
We use only what some may likely call "white hat" or ethical seo techniques. We want to think of it as high quality link building using blog outreach, produce content that people want to share and comment on and we do all of this organically.

(TU Delft Aerospace Structures & Computational Mechanics) Bisagni, C. (TU Delft Aerospace Structures & Computational Mechanics) Date 2018-07-01 Abstract An experimental and numerical investigation was conducted to study the skin-stiffener separation of single T-shape stiffener specimens in postbuckling condition. Three specimens were manufactured with a centrally located Teflon insert, and were loaded in compression until collapse. Deformation patterns and separation evolution were monitored during the tests. To measure the full-field displacements and the strain distributions of the specimens, a digital image correlation (DIC) system was used. Skin-stiffener separation was observed and measured with an ultrasound system. Finite-element (FE) analyses were conducted to capture interlaminar damage mechanism based on the virtual crack closure technique. The numerical analysis accurately predicted the postbuckling deformation and the skin-stiffener separation behavior. The close correlation between the experimental and numerical results allows for further exploitation of the strength reserve in the postbuckling region and wider design options for the next generation of composite aircraft designs.

Rebuilding the Military to Maximum Strength
WASHINGTON, D.C.—House Majority Whip Steve Scalise (R-La.) released the following statement after the House advanced H.R. 6157, Department of Defense Appropriation Act, 2019:
"House Republicans are working with President Trump to rebuild our military to maximum strength. Today, the House took real action to give our troops a well-deserved raise—the largest in nearly 10 years—and we are investing in their safety and success by increasing funding for essential equipment and medical care. America is facing down enemies on several fronts, from terrorism in the Middle East to nuclear threats in Asia to cyber warfare, and our men and women in uniform are our first line of defense. We rely on them to keep our country safe and they rely on us to give them the tools to be effective. I'm proud to have helped lead this bill to passage and look forward to the President signing it into law."

There are three main modes of motorcycle transmission:
Chain drive:for ordinary motorcycles, chain drive mode has these advantages:low cost, mature and reliable technology, convenient maintenance and maintenance and best practicality.
Shaft drive:the shaft transmission has higher manufacturing cost, higher requirement for material, and greater difficulty in processing. But it is simpler and more stable than chain drive if you use it properly.
Belt drive. This type of drive we often see in American cruise car large and scooter. The structure of the belt is very simple, the transmission is very smooth and soft, and it can play a very good buffer. The inner layer of the belt is designed as a sawtooth, which can better play the role of transmission. But subject to the material, the long belt will stretch and deform due to force and affect the transmission efficiency, so timing debugging and replacement is also essential.

TITLE: Whitman's Future-Founding Poetry
SPEAKER: Sascha Poehlmann
RUNNING TIME: 56 minutes
TRANSCRIPT: View Transcript (link will open in a new window)
In his preface to the 1876 edition of Leaves of Grass, Walt Whitman offers a programmatic statement for his entire poetic project: "Finally, as I have lived in fresh lands, inchoate, and in a revolutionary age, future-founding, I have felt to identify the points of that age, these lands, in my recitatives, altogether in my own way." Sascha Poehlmann uses Whitman's term and argues that his work can serve as a model of future-founding poetry, or poetry that aims to actively mark and perform a beginning as well as that a poets after Whitman have employed, modified, and adapted such a future-founding mode, most recently in poems on 9/11, The presentation focuses on Whitman's own poetry and prose in order to show how his cultivation of the future in the present fuses the aesthetic and the political as it negotiates openness between an uncertain and a determined future.
Speaker Biography: Sascha Poehlmann is a professor at the Ludwig-Maximilian University in Munich and the 2011 Bavarian Fellow at the John W. Kluge Center.

Scary Street Battle – BMW vs. CadillacOctober 31st, 2017
Happy Halloween! I hope you enjoy this back and forth street (roll) racing battle between two, evenly matched, high-end street machines. Both of these cars have been modified dramatically to improve engine performance. I wouldn't consider it a slanderous statement to say that BMW is not known for street racing prowess. That is precisely what makes this BMW 135i Coupe a great choice for a street sleeper. The slick looking Beemer has been upgraded with a Precision 6466 turbocharger and a DOCRace turbo kit, tuned by EMP Performance. Depending upon the boost setting, it is capable of producing a bit Read More

The Smart Choice is a hub that includes all aspects of smart living, directly or indirectly connected to laundry.
No1 cause of getting dirty is one of the greatest pleasures of life: eating and cooking. So, we came up with a fresh, original contest activation, the "Smart Cooking Challenges"!
For that purpose, we collaborated with one of the most popular and influential food bloggers in Greece, Madame Ginger.
Users were asked to enter a microsite hosted in the Smart Choice and challenge Madame Ginger to cook under… special conditions: every week users voted what she would cook and what she would be wearing during cooking.
The proposed recipes where all created by Madame Ginger herself and in line with the smart living concept. The proposed outfits where all fun and original adding an extra grade of difficulty in her cooking, as she was asked to cook in her pajamas, with her eyes closed or even in a pure white wedding dress!
The activation lasted 3 weeks. At the end of each week, the result of the voting came out and the audience could watch the video of the Smart Cooking they had asked for. All videos of all combinations were already shot, so that the audience could watch the results of its voting immediately.
Three hilarious videos were produced featuring Madame Ginger cooking the chosen recipes, wearing the outfit voted by the audience and getting dirty. Special guest star in the videos was Neomat mascot, the Fox, who sometimes appeared as a deus ex machina offering the cleaning solution to Madame Ginger and other times as teasing and anxious to taste the delicacies prepared by her.
Every week, 4 lucky winners won Neomat products for a whole year and cooking seminars and at the end of the contest one lucky participant won an LG washing machine.
The microsite was fully responsive with Facebook connect.
The results were outstanding! 25.000 visitors, 200.000 video views and over 15k unique users in just 3 weeks of airing. Meaning we got something really good cooking here!

Preservation Road: Writer-director Wes Anderson and film critic/filmmaker Kent Jones discuss the Film Foundation series at LACMA
Source: LA Weekly
September 14, 2010. Two meticulously prepared film devotees sat before their Macs at the appointed hour and discussed (via Skype) Cavalcantis 1947 gangster/noir revenge melodrama, They Made Me a Fugitive, a restored print of which will be screened this weekend as part of LACMAs tribute to the Film Foundation, on the occasion of its 20th anniversary.
Shall we just jump into it then? said Wes Anderson.
Absolutely, said Kent Jones.
I wonder if we need to begin in such a way that were kind of announcing why were talking about this movie, said Anderson thoughtfully. Heres a possible opener: One of the films showing in the tribute to the Film Foundation is They Made Me a Fugitive. I had never seen this movie before, and Id never heard the one name of its director, Cavalcanti.
Jones was mildly surprised. Really?
No, said Anderson. But then I realized Id seen Dead of Night, the horror omnibus movie from Ealing [Studios] and he directed the most famous episode, The Ventriloquists Dummy, and also The Christmas Party, which are both very interesting. Do you know his other films?
He was Brazilian, offered Jones as he downshifted into information mode, and sometimes he used his first name, Alberto. He worked in France, crossed paths with Jean Renoir, wound up in England working for John Griersons documentary unit, and then made those great fiction films. For instance, he made a tremendous wartime movie called Went the Day Well.
I should see that, said Anderson. Jones sensed genuine excitement in Andersons voice: He was always on the lookout for new discoveries. I loved They Made Me a Fugitive. The grittiness and the style and the great, great dialogue. Its sort of like a British Sweet Smell of Success which I suppose was directed by an English person, anyway.
But written by two Americans. The dialogue in this one is amazingly pungent, said Jones by way of amplification. There was to be a good deal more mutual amplification.
Its very good, and very hard, Anderson continued. The violence of the language is much more blunt than youd ever expect of a movie from 1947. Whats that sound?
New York police sirens, answered Jones abstractedly, as the whining from Broadway peaked and gradually died away. Maybe we should clearly state that youre in Paris and Im in New York
and that were talking about a British film showing in Los Angeles.
After the war, there were a lot of very tough British movies set in the underworld, Jones said, like It Always Rains on Sunday and Brighton Rock in fact, all three were made in 1947.
Brighton Rock is also brutal, Anderson said with an audible tinge of excitement. Theyre unexpectedly cruel and frank in their language and violence they dont hold back.
For me, Trevor Howard gives They Made Me a Fugitive a special energy.
Yes, Trevor Howard is great, agreed Anderson, and so is the guy who plays Narcy. Hes wonderful. Whats his name?
Maybe since were on our computers, we can look it up. An idle remark, which initiated a quiet cacophony of frantic transcontinental typing.
Isnt it incredible that theres a gangster named Narcy, short for Narcissus? asked Jones as his index finger hit the return key.
Thats kind of one you want to steal, said Anderson as his computer chimed. Narcy is Griffith Jones.
Who was also in Oliviers Henry V as the Earl of Salisbury. And whose real name is Griffiths Jones hard to pronounce, Jones said.
Another thing that intrigued me about They Made Me a Fugitive was that it always seemed like it was going to veer into pure expressionism. Like Sallys beating, for instance, done in a quick montage, which includes a distressed close-up, unusual for its time.
Its shot by a German cameraman, isnt it?
Wed better double-check the good old IMDb. Another round of typing.
Hes an Otto but maybe hes not German, Anderson suggested. Jones suddenly remembered the menacing German women on The Darjeeling Limited. That expressionist current of feeling combines with the location shooting and the type of story being told, the rawness of it all, to give the movie a documentary-ish flavor. Its a strange combination. And the dialogue is so graphic and blunt.
Boy, is it ever. Its like they were trying to outdo the Americans in the hard-boiled department.
But its also very literary quite inventive and funny. Theyre highly verbal characters.
So many gaudy, outlandish exchanges. I like the conversation between Narcy and the cop when they run into each other on Sallys stairway, Jones said, quoting: Hows the undertaking business these days? says the cop. Booming, says Narcy. I wish I could interest you in one of our new models. And dont forget to tell your friends. Like when the cop asks him if he can smell a rat Ive got a cold. I cant even smell you. Or: Clemll get about as far as I could throw a dead elephant with one hand tied behind me back.
Narcy has so many great lines, and line readings. I like when he says, Curlyll have to cock you one on your pretty coconut and he tells one of his boys that if the girl makes any trouble, Bash her face in. Its not just hard-boiled, its kind of funny, and I think they meant it to be?
How about the old woman? Watch out you dont overdo it, Narcy. The copsll be out like hornets round a jam jar.
I missed half of her dialogue, admitted Anderson, because its so fast and British.
It seems that Otto Heller was actually Czech, Jones reported. He did a lot of great work in color Peeping Tom, Richard III, The Lady Killers. He also made one of the most incredible British films of the 40s, The Queen of Spades.
This might be a good moment to mention how much They Made Me a Fugitive will benefit from restoration, said Anderson, dutifully circling back to the topic at hand. On the DVD, you can see how beautiful the black-and-white photography should be, and how much work is needed.
Some passages are in good shape, others less so. I cant wait to see the restoration. Should we mention some of the other films in the series?
Well, theres The Red Shoes.
Which might be the most stunning restoration Ive ever seen.
And Bonjour Tristesse. And Satyajit Rays Pather Panchali, which is a masterpiece and probably his best known film.
"Theres also Shadow of a Doubt by Hitchcock, added Jones, an impeccable movie with one of my favorite actresses, Teresa Wright.
And theres Cloak and Dagger by Fritz Lang, with Gary Cooper.
As a scientist curious idea.
Yes. In fact, I saw it with a physicist. Arent they trying to smuggle out a German scientist?
Yes. Strangely cast, but a striking film.
Theres Wild River by Kazan.
Which is a great film. Its based on Kazans memories of going down South in the 30s.
Theres The Big Combo by Joseph H. Lewis.
Shot by the legendary cinematographer John Alton.
With Richard Conte and Brian Donlevy.
And Earl Holliman and Lee Van Cleef as the two gay enforcers.
Anyway, its going to be a great series at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Starting Friday, October 8.
Thats right, Wes. And for more information, go to lacma.org.
The perfect ending.
20TH ANNIVERSARY TRIBUTE TO THE FILM FOUNDATION | Oct. 8-30 | All screenings at LACMAs Bing Theater, except Wild River (at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater) and Baby Doll (at the Billy Wilder Theater) | lacma.org
Christopher Nolan's directive was clear to everyone in the cast and crew: Use CGI only as a last resort.

Interacting Boson Model from Energy Density Functionals

Interacting Boson Model from Energy Density Functionals
This thesis describes a novel and robust way of deriving a Hamiltonian of the interacting boson model based on microscopic nuclear energy density functional theory. Based on the fact that the multi-nucleon induced surface deformation of finite nucleus can be simulated by effective boson degrees of freedom, observables in the intrinsic frame, obtained from self-consistent mean-field method with a microscopic energy density functional, are mapped onto the boson analog. Thereby, the excitation spectra and the transition rates for the relevant collective states having good symmetry quantum numbers are calculated by the subsequent diagonalization of the mapped boson Hamiltonian. Because the density functional approach gives an accurate global description of nuclear bulk properties, the interacting boson model is derived for various situations of nuclear shape phenomena, including those of the exotic nuclei investigated at rare-isotope beam facilities around the world. This work provides, for the first time, crucial pieces of information about how the interacting boson model is justified and derived from nucleon degrees of freedom in a comprehensive manner.
Bridges the gap between the nuclear energy density functional theory and the interacting boson model, thereby providing a possible microscopic origin of the interacting boson model from nucleon degrees of freedomPoints to a universal microscopic description of low-energy collective phenomena in finite nucleus including those of the exotic nuclei under extreme conditionsNominated as an outstanding contribution by the University of Tokyo's Physics Department in 2011

10 reasons to cast your final ASG ballots
These are YOUR All-Star starting lineups. In the end, it's just that simple, and isn't that the coolest part of fans voting for the All-Star Game?
That's especially true on the final day of balloting, with several positions still up for grabs and a long list of players needing a boost. We'll get to some of those later.
These are YOUR All-Star starting lineups. In the end, it's just that simple, and isn't that the coolest part of fans voting for the All-Star Game?
That's especially true on the final day of balloting, with several positions still up for grabs and a long list of players needing a boost. We'll get to some of those later.
You have until 11:59 p.m. ET tonight to cast your Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot as we close in on the MLB All-Star Game presented by Mastercard on July 11 at Marlins Park.
Here are 10 reasons you should vote today:
1. Your vote matters.
One of the best things about being a baseball fan is that you have your own opinions about how things should run. Everybody knows you could manage a bullpen better than your favorite team's skipper. You don't understand some of his lineups, either. This is your chance. If you think Nationals third baseman Anthony Rendon should be starting for the National League, go vote.
Video: Must C Classic: Rendon collects three homers, 10 RBIs
2. Survey says …
All-Star voting is, in part, a popularity contest, and there's nothing wrong with that. At some point, players get to a point where their presence in the All-Star Game feels like the right thing regardless of the numbers. All-Star voting is also a giant survey, and it's interesting to look at the final tallies and compare the opinions of others to your own.
3. The All-Star Game as a spectacle.
The Show gets bigger and better every year. Players and their families are treated like royalty. To be part of an All-Star Game is one of the highest honors a player can receive, and that's why they want to be there. To be introduced as one of the best players in the game is a payoff for years of hard work, and it's an equally high honor for family, friends, coaches, etc.
4. Where are the Dodgers?
The Dodgers don't have a leader at any position even though the team has the best record in the NL and would have three of the top NL MVP vote-getters -- shortstop Corey Seager, third baseman Justin Turner and first baseman Cody Bellinger -- if the season ended today. Seager trails Cincinnati's Zack Cozart by fewer than 300,000 votes in the most recent tabulations, and Turner is a distant third behind Kris Bryant and Nolan Arenado. Bryant and Arenado are two of the best players on the planet regardless of position. But Turner is special, too, one of the best at his position defensively and hitting .385 when play began on Wednesday. As for the other star Dodger, Bellinger isn't on the ballot. But the rookie is leading the NL with 24 home runs and will certainly be part of the NL team.
Video: COL@LAD: Bellinger clubs two home runs in victory
5. Vote for Marlins OF Marcell Ozuna
This All-Star break is an opportunity for the Marlins to show off their beautiful ballpark and also one of America's most interesting cities. It feels right to have at least one local player in the starting lineup, and Ozuna, who is running third in NL outfield voting, more than deserves it. If there's a place for Giancarlo Stanton, the Marlins' biggest star, that would be even better.
Video: WSH@MIA: Ozuna wins the game with a walk-off single
6. Settle the NL first-base race.
Washington's Ryan Zimmerman has the slimmest of leads over Cubs star Anthony Rizzo. Meanwhile, Arizona's Paul Goldschmidt and Cincinnati's Joey Votto are also deserving of All-Star votes. Some years, they seem to put all the best players at the same position. Zimmerman, Rizzo, Goldschmidt and Votto are all in the NL's Top 20 in Wins Above Replacement.
Video: SD@ARI: Goldy clubs four hits against the Padres
7. After Aaron Judge, who is in the AL outfield?
Judge begins this final stretch with more votes than any other AL player and has a lead of nearly a million votes over Mike Trout in the outfield race. But Trout is unlikely to play, and the next four players are within 400,000 votes of one another. George Springer of the Astros appears to be nicely positioned for one of the starting jobs, but Michael Brantley, Avisail Garcia and Mookie Betts are tightly bunched.
Video: CWS@TB: Statcast™ analyzes Avisail's 434-foot home run
8. Are we sure we're picking the right AL first baseman?
Kansas City's Eric Hosmer leads Toronto's Justin Smoak on this final day. Both are respected players. Both are having nice years. Problem is, a couple of players are having better years. One is Logan Morrison of the Rays, who leads all AL first basemen with 22 home runs and 54 RBIs entering Wednesday. Right behind him is Yonder Alonso of the Athletics, with a .963 OPS, tops among AL first basemen.
Video: BAL@TB: Morrison drives in Longoria with a triple
9. Wouldn't it be cool to get Jedd Gyorko on the NL All-Star Team?
Cardinals third baseman Gyorko has had an interesting ride. Four years ago, when he broke in with the Padres, it appeared he was on the fast track to success. Only that didn't happen. Now, at a time when a lot of people have forgotten him, he has jump-started his career with the Cardinals and is having a very solid season: .867 OPS, 12 home runs, 12 doubles. If the citizens of Cardinal Nation come through on this final day of voting, it would send a message that they understand how important he has been.
Video: PIT@STL: Gyorko smacks an RBI double to right-center
10. Youth is served (continued).
The 2015-16 All-Star Games had 54 first-time All-Stars. Among the 17 players leading going into this final day of balloting, five of them would be first-time All-Stars. This trend reflects a larger youth movement. The All-Star Game's leading vote-getters average 27.7 years per player. That's 26.7 in the AL, 28.8 in the NL. The AL has five leaders 25 years or younger in the lead, the NL two.
Fans may cast votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- on computers, tablets and smartphones -- exclusively online using the 2017 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Ballot until tonight at 11:59 p.m. ET. On smartphones and tablets, fans can also access the ballot via the MLB.com At Bat and MLB.com Ballpark mobile apps. Vote up to five times in any 24-hour period for a maximum of 35 ballots cast.
The Esurance All-Star Selection Show will take place on Sunday at 7 p.m. ET on ESPN. Following the unveiling of the 2017 All-Star starters, reserves and pitchers, fans should return to MLB.com and cast their 2017 Esurance MLB All-Star Game Final Vote for the final player on each league's All-Star roster. Then on Tuesday, July 11, while watching the 2017 All-Star Game presented by Mastercard live on FOX, fans may visit MLB.com to submit their choices for the Ted Williams Most Valuable Player Award presented by Chevrolet with the 2017 MLB All-Star Game MVP Vote.
The 88th Midsummer Classic, at Marlins Park in Miami, will be televised nationally by FOX Sports; in Canada by Rogers Sportsnet and RDS; and worldwide by partners in more than 160 countries. ESPN Radio and ESPN Radio Deportes will provide exclusive national radio coverage, while MLB Network, MLB.com and SiriusXM will have comprehensive All-Star Week coverage.

At last...
A vintage cut of a 1960 Cadillac, some blue and orange stock, a tiny bit of flame-red ink – and we're away! I was so happy to finally print my first "proper" notes on the Chandler and Price, I wanted to jump around.
Unlike last time, I made sure I actually had a good amount of baby-free time up my sleeve to do everything the right way. I even locked up the chase and oiled the press in advance. A note: you can't oil the press too far in advance or the oil will drip out before you get printing – and then you will have climb around the press to painstakingly drip oil into every one of the 30-something obscurely placed oil holes, all over again. You will call yourself bad names.
Here's what the press looks like in action, inking up the plate before the chase is inserted. Why is it a blur? Well, at this stage it was running 18 impressions per minute – too fast! Too fast! I've since fixed the speed issue ... but more on that later.
A first impression on the tympan (above), to help with alignment and placing the gauge pins. You rub that image back with solvent after this impression, otherwise it'll give you a (not-so-) nice reverse image on the back of your lovely cards. And you will cry.
I was completely precise and methodical in my placement of the gauge pins – again, unlike last time – and it made the world of difference. Imagine!
These first cards have gone to Nathan's Dad in Dallas and my Dad in Australia, in gratitude for the untold hours they've both spent working on the Chandler & Price (I owe them so much more, but this is symbolic!) and to Pauline, who's been cheering me on all the way from South Carolina.
Now we're rolling...

Passionfruit and Strawberry Champagne Preserves by Tishbi win Best New Product at Kosherfest!
View the recent press from Kosher Today: http://www.koshertoday.com/10-31-11-Tishbi%E2%80%99s-Passion-Fruit-and-Strawberry-Champagne-Preserves-Wins-Best-New-Product-at-Kosherfest-2011-as-Trendy-Foods-Score-Big/
The Tishbi Estate Winery, located in the town of Zichron Ya'acov, is widely known for its fine wines which come from five generations of Tishbi family know-how.
Oshra Tishbi, who is very passionate about food pairings, designed a line of fine preserves based on wine and fruits. These preserves give the "wine experience" without the alcohol and pair extremely well with cheese. The alcohol cooks out during the process, but the intense flavors of the famous Tishbi wine grapes remain.
Tishbi Fig Cabernet won the NASFT sofi™ Silver Award 2010. The Tishbi Wine & Fruit Collection won Retail News 2011 "Best Gourmet Food Gift."
