Hi Ive noticed that myspace are not anymore allowing people to download photos they blocked it already. In this case where can else we get photos even if we are not a premium memeber.
Why do you get pictures from MySpace? They are not free for the taking. Use places where the pictures are copyright free that anyone can use.
Creative Commons on Flickr is a good place as is Stock.xchng.
yap even common on Flickr does not alllow it anymore. No worries id tried my best to get some already. Thanks
Ladyvenus, I don't know what you are doing, but Flickr does allow you to save photos.
However, you must only use photos that have a Creative Commons license. It is very wrong to just use any photo you find on the internet. Photos on MySpace belong to the people who own the profiles and you have no right to use them.
We can still use CC
Yes, I wrote a hub on photography and copyright last week. It is illegal to use photos without permission. The same law that protects writers also protects photographers.
So be sure the photo is designated for free use before you right click and copy;o)

I see Hubs where beautiful photos are used and are from Pinterest. The photos are usually credited as being from Pins. Are we allowed to use those photos??

I have trouble when I find a picture to use on Flickr. I see all the symbols and can tell if they need to be attributed or not. But when I try to copy the picture, sometimes I can't. I see a line on other people's hubs where they say it's from Flickr, but also has a group of numbers (I guess a...

A special meeting of Argyll and Bute Council is to be held to discuss the Cowal community's attempt to buy the Castle Toward estate, opposite Rothesay Bay.
The meeting will take place at the council chamber in Lochgilphead on Thursday, February 12 - immediately after a separate council meeting to set the authority's budget and council tax level for 2015-16.
The Castle Toward meeting will take place at the written request of 12 councillors, among them Bute SNP councillor Isobel Strong, who want the authority to revisit its decision not to sell the estate to a community development company at a price considerably less than the £1.75 million put on the estate by the Scottish Government's district valuer.
The 12 councillors asked that the meeting be held in the Queen's Hall in Dunoon before Friday, February 13 - the end of a two-week extension on the community's right to buy the Castle Toward estate - and it is unclear why the decision has been taken to hold it in Lochgilphead instead.
The South Cowal Community Development Company had a £750,000 bid for the estate turned down by the council's policy and resources committee in December and by the full council in January; instead the SCCDC was offered a £1 million loan by the council, which the company said it could not afford.
Since then a revised valuation of £850,000 has been put on the site by estate agents Savills.
The request for a special council meeting was made after the intervention of Alex Neil MSP, the Scottish government's cabinet secretary for social justice, communities and pensioners' rights, on the issue - but before First Minister Nicola Sturgeon commented on the matter in the chamber at Holyrood on Thursday.
Questioned by Argyll and Bute MSP Michael Russell on Thursday, Ms Sturgeon said: "Under the community right-to-buy legislation, the decision on whether to accept the bid lies with Argyll and Bute Council, but there is no doubt that the community in South Cowal is highly supportive of the buyout and the potential that it has to create new jobs.
"Last week, the cabinet secretary for social justice, communities and pensioners' rights asked the council to consider the new valuation of the estate and to extend the right-to-buy deadline to allow time for further discussions, which I know was welcomed by Mr Russell.
"I encourage the council to negotiate constructively with the community body and to use the extension that is now agreed in order to find a solution that will secure the future of an important community asset.
The request of the 12 councillors - none of them in the ruling council administration of independents, Liberal Democrats and Conservatives - states: "In view of the new information we have on the Castle Toward Estate, in particular the RICS Red Book valuation by Savilles and the matching revised offer from South Cowal Community Development Company, we ask that a special meeting of Argyll and Bute Council is held in the Queen's Hall Dunoon at the earliest possible opportunity and before the two week extension expires.
"The business of this meeting will be: 1. to reflect on this new information and our ongoing costs of £22k per month to keep the property empty. 2. To consider selling the property to SCCDC for the new valuation and offer, ie £850k."

I became seriously interested in chess quite late, being already 19 years old. Studied it a lot, read many books, played in a few tournaments and finally reached 1st category ( back in Russia ). Then left it for many years, not playing at all, then played occasionally with computer. Since 2007 started to play OTB. I progressed pretty fast from C class to B, then after some time to "A".
My next goal is crossing 2000 barrier.

Man claims hospital botched surgery
A former Trumbull man is suing St. Vincent's Medical Center in Bridgeport, claiming a sponge left in his body after surgery resulted in permanent injuries.
Gary M. Knepler, 66, owner of Monroe-based Knepler's Driving school, had a hernia operation at the hospital in 2010. His lawsuit claims that the surgical sponge left in his body during the procedure caused severe infection, heart palpitations, neck and back pain, bowel obstruction and a variety of other problems -- some of which required additional surgery.
The sponge, smaller than the palm of a hand, was removed in a subsequent surgery.
Knepler, who now lives in Florida, said the hospital apologized for the error, but also sent him a bill for $24,000 that his insurance wouldn't cover.
"I had such a productive life before they did this to me," Knepler said in a news release put out by the law firm representing him, Koskoff, Koskoff and Bieder. He claims that, due to his injuries, he can no longer ride his bike and has had to limit other activities, including driving.
St. Vincent's officials, however, released a statement Monday saying they waived charges for some of Knepler's care and have already provided him with a cash payment. The hospital wouldn't release the amount of the payment or which specific charges had been waived.
"Mr. Knepler continues to seek compensation for conditions that we believe are unrelated to his surgery," the statement reads. "We will continue our discussions with Mr. Knepler and his counsel in the proper forum."
The suit also names Knepler's wife, Julia L. Knepler, as a plaintiff, stating that she has been "deprived of the companionship and society of her husband," due to the incident in question. The hospital has until March 19 to respond to the suit. The Kneplers are asking for monetary damages of more than $15,000, though the suit doesn't name a specific amount.

I really have been in a bit of a depressed state recently and just haven't felt like creating anything! Luckily, this appears to be lifting now and I've whipped up two new LO's for this month's Challenge Heaven challenges. The first one is for the word challenge: it had to use the word 'together' and be on a kraft background. It's a bit of a different style to my normal work but I'm really happy with the end result.
This LO was published in Scrapbooking Memories Vol 14 No 5.
My second LO is based on the sketch challenge. Again, when I initially looked at the sketch I wasn't inspired but this idea just came to me in the shower the other day. It's a bit busier than the work I've been creating lately and I'm happy about that. It was also a good chance to use one of the family portrait photos.

Super Junior [SM Entertainment]
Super Junior is getting ready to take "Saturday Night Live-Season 2" by storm this weekend by doing what they do best: entertaining people with their well-known hosting skills.
SM Entertainment confirmed with the magazine earlier today that the members of Super Junior will appear on tvN's "SNL Korea Season 2" on July 14 to captivate a live studio audience.
The group will be the first idol stars to lead the show following the recent appearances by rapper and actor Yang Dong-gun, emcee Shin Dong-yup and singer and producer Park Jin-young.
This week's "SNL-Season 2" will be Super Junior's first non-music program after rolling out the group's sixth full-length album "Sexy, Free & Single" online on July 1.
The album, which will hit local stores on June 4, lists a total of ten songs including the title track of the same name, their song for their fans "From U," "NOW," "Rockstar," "Gulliver," "Someday," "Bittersweet," "Butterfly," "Daydream" and "A Goodbye."
The group's last release in the country is the fifth full-length album "Mr. Simple," dropped in August of last year. They followed it up with the repackaged version of the breakthrough release the following month.
Super Junior has been solidifying themselves as one of the most popular K-pop bands since debuting in 2005 and recently wrapped up the fourth round of their signature concert tour "SUPER SHOW," which kicked off in November last year.

How to Take Great Fireworks Photos
These brilliant displays of light and colour aren't exclusive to those holidays, however. Really no other excuse is required than the fact that it's summer. Warm evenings encourage outdoor fun, including impromptu gatherings where campfires burn and socializing begins. Throwing fireworks into the mix makes any of these nights celebratory.
When our daughter married up north several years ago, friends surprised them with a fireworks display. Gliding out across the glorious French River on a pontoon boat they lit up the sky, while guests back at the lodge grabbed cameras to try and photograph the impressive spectacle. Not surprisingly, the only one to really do it justice was the professional hired for the event. Because, let's be realistic here, taking pictures of fireworks involves a little more than pointing a camera and shooting.

Warning; this is a grim read. But possibly worth stomaching if you were ever shamed for crying.
I rarely cried as a child. This was due – I think – to being a mostly happy kid, but also due to being shamed by some key family members on the rare occasions I did cry.
Scene 1 – Age approximately 31.
It's not me crying.
It's my stepson. He's approximately 8 years old.
My partner and step-children are seated at the dining table. My stepson's father, my partner, is shouting at him for, no doubt, a minor to non-existent transgression.
My small stepson is rubbing his hands over his eyes. Partly to wipe his tears. Partly to hide them.
His father shouts at him to stop crying. He demands that his son takes his hands away from his face.
My stepson puts his arms down by his side. Unchecked tears stream down his face. He gulps for air as he struggles to stop crying.
"He's allowed to cry!"
– is what I don't say to my partner.
The rest of us are frozen. The other children don't wish to attract their father's anger.
I'm not overly worried about being the anger-target, its happened plenty of times before. But I am worried that if I challenge my partner, the ensuing detonation may be worse than what's happening now. I don't want the children to witness that.
So I don't say the words. And these unspoken words are the biggest regret of my life.
I wish those children had witnessed an adult saying;
"This is not OK"
"It is not OK to treat children like this"
"You shall not treat these children like this"
Scene 2 – Age approximately 33.
It's me crying again.
Not yet though. I'm reading in bed. My depressing book is about ill-fated lovers. I feel sad and flat. I never finish the book.
My partner comes to bed. I try to hide my upset. He won't like it.
He notices anyway. "What is it this time?!"
I try to explain about the book. It doesn't help.
I know why I am crying this time.
The finale of two hours of shouted abuse, is that my partner suggests I resolve my sadness by killing myself.
Scene 3 – Age approximately 35.
I can't cry.
I have left my partner.
It was necessary for my physical and mental health.
There is a much collateral damage. In losing my partner, I had to lose my stepchildren.
It's the first Christmas since I left. I post Christmas presents to the kids. I suspect they'll never get them.
My favourite Christmas carol is playing on the car radio – Snoopy & the Red Baron. I feel incredibly sad about my stepchildren. I want to cry. I try to cry.
I manage to squeeze out a few drops.
Scene 4 – Age approximately 43.
I cry rivers.
Driving my car home late at night, a thought intrudes – I could accelerate at high speed into a lamp post.
It's an attractive option – speed and exhilaration followed by the absence of pain.
Realizing I'm in trouble, I get myself to a solution of privilege. I see a psychotherapist weekly for three months. We drop some depth charges into my rage and despair and grief and guilt.
I experience forgiveness for leaving my stepchildren.
I leave the sessions feeling dehydrated.
I don't think I should protect my ex-partner and non-identified family from their actions – their behaviors are behaviors that thrive in the shadows and wither in the light of day – but I don't want to shame them either.
I am currently estranged from all the adults mentioned and not mentioned in this post. I consider it best for my mental & physical health.
I can rapidly anger when I think of how they have treated me over the years. So I try not to think about that.
Rather, I try to practice compassion for them.
I know there is physiological evidence that forgiveness is good for my health, but I also know that all the people who have hurt me, have themselves suffered the deepest of rejections early in life.
They already have a surfeit of un-deserved shame, and more of the same will not help.
Reminding myself of this, as necessary, helps me practice less anger and more compassion.
I'm guessing that if someone had been able to see their tears; they may have been able to see mine.
So say the words.
Let the children cry.

These ten counties of the Island of Eire are technically its own country. A country that makes up only 3% of the population of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland (affectionately known as the UK). For a better (or at least I hope better) explanation of the names of the regions of the British Isles, see my "British Isles" page.
It's seems to me that Northern Ireland doesn't get as much recognition as the Republic of Ireland. I understand, when you think of Ireland, you think of Dublin. Though the Republic's capitol is a must-see for all the american tourists who have to say: "Oh back when I was in Dublin, and yes I mean Ireland, yada yada," who cares, you'd be severely missing out on Ireland's natural beauty if you chose to forgo Northern Ireland.
If you are planning to visit any part of Ireland, here's a few ups and downs to Northern Ireland to help you decide if the northern ten counties are right for you (uh oh, I feel like I'm selling insurance. By the way, you could save 15% or more by….).
First, let's start with the bad news. Northern Ireland is on the pound (GBP), so if you're coming from the U.S., that can decelerate your "bang-for-your-buck-o-meter" rather quickly. Although, the dollar (USD) is climbing at a staggering rate. Last time I checked, 1 pound sterling cost $1.47, that's about what the euro cost when I was in Europe last year (2014).
Another bit of bad news: you probably won't hear that "leprechaun accent" that you know you were hoping for. In fact, the Northern Irish sound to me like heavily accented Minnesotans (don't tell them I said that, of course). I'm not going to go into the full explanation of why that is, but to illustrate this further, when overseas I've been labeled as Irish as many times as I've been placed as American (now that could be because I tend to adopt the accent of whoever I'm talking to, but that's besides the point).
Onto the good stuff (Hint: Notice how short the 'bad news' portion is). In my opinion, there are three things you HAVE to check out while you're visiting Northern Ireland. The best part: they're all located within about 11 miles of each other!
Dunluce Castle
So hop in your car that you've rented (hired, if you're going to learn the lingo) and then once you've realized you're sitting in the passenger seat, gracefully exit the vehicle and get in the driver's seat…weirdo. Anyways, drive up to Dunluce castle, which should take you about 1 hour and 15 minutes if you're driving from the capital city of Belfast (that is if you don't get into a head-on collision since you keep veering into the other lane). Once you arrive in Dunluce (and after you've changed your trousers from all of those close calls) behold this, now ruined, medieval castle. The rule is: the more ruined the castle, the cheaper it is to tour.
As a side note, when you plan on gallivanting across a country where there are heaps of castles, pick one castle that you feel you must see the inside of and stick with that one. If you veer from this advice, you'll soon find that once you've seen one castle (on the inside that is) you've seen them all. Now don't get me wrong, I love castles. I usually try to incorporate at least one new fortress on each trip, but I choose to take the free route. Follow this easy three-step process when touring a castle: Step 1-Save £30 by not paying to go inside the castle. Step 2-Load up on pictures of the exterior. Step 3-Proceed to the nearest pub, and go "hog-wild" on a shepherd's pie. All the while, flipping through countless (free) castle pictures on your camera and admiring that crisp £20 note that you just saved (cost of pie and pint factored).
Now, back to Dunluce. It is quite "ruined," meaning it is quite "cheap" (£5, I think) and since it's in this state of dilapidation, there's not much to see on the inside (it's so ruined, you can practically see the inside from the outside. Definitely not the castle you should pick to 'splurge' on.), but you can take some amazing exterior shots. I believe this castle even made it on the inside of a Led Zeppelin CD case. (I may have misheard though. So google it before bragging to all of your 'LedHead' friends.) Ok, spend 20-30 minutes tops here, and then head northeast!
The Giant's Causeway
In only 4.5 miles you'll reach my personal favorite. Even though I typically would never call a touristy area a necessity, the Giant's Causeway is just that. This natural wonder is, well, naturally wonderful.
Seeing about 40,000 interlocking polygonal pillars, some towering almost 40 ft. in the air, feels like LEGOland the way nature intended it. (If you're debating between visiting Northern Ireland and going to LEGOland, then sadly, we can't be friends). As a budget traveler you should, of course, opt to walk instead of being bussed down to the causeway. Though I originally chose that option to save some dough, in hindsight I'd recommend this anytime over the bus. Though it is a bit of a trek, you'll be rewarded with a plethora (all great article uses plethora, everybody knows that) of Kodak moments. If you're into folklore, check out the visitor center/gift shop that has a video presentation about Finn MacCool and the fearsome Scottish giants (I have no idea if it's worth watching. Plop me in a foreign country with a camera and the last thing you'll find me doing is watching a movie, unless it's a good movie…and there are snacks. Come to think of it, if there were snacks at that Finn MacCool video then you wouldn't be seeing these pictures of Northern Ireland). Spend as long as you like here, this is an unforgettable sight to see.
Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge
Then after you have seen enough, venture another 7.5 miles to get to Carrick-a-Rede Rope Bridge near Ballintoy, Northern Ireland. Legend has it, bridges were built to the miniature island of Carrick-a-Rede for over 350 years. Originally used by salmon fisherman, but since the salmon have all but disappeared, it now serves only as a tourist attraction. There is a toll of £5.60, which is certainly worth it (reach into your pocket, you should still have that £20 note from NOT blowing it on castle admissions, and cheesy "my friend went to Ireland and all he got me was this lousy…" trinkets). If you'd rather not cross this bridge, I understand…pansy. At first I found it frightening, but then seeing my 70-something-year-old tour guide (No, I didn't pay for a tour guide, he was my cousin, obviously) fly across the bridge with the grace and speed of a well fed Peregrine falcon, I decided to 'give it a go.' Words and pictures cannot convey the excitement of crossing this perilous overpass. It looms 98 ft (30m) above waters that share the same latitude as the Aleutian Islands of Alaska. As you intrepidly cut across this mess of ropes and planks, bombarded by winds in all directions. All the while swaying side to side, back and forth, and up and down, it's no wonder why some are so petrified by the time they reach the other side that they have to be boated back to the mainland. I'm making this sound horrifying, aren't I? It sounds terrifying, but when it comes right down to it, it's a blast. Look on the bright side, according to records, no one has fallen off this bridge in all those centuries. Hey, maybe you could be the first!
So if you choose to make the voyage over to Ireland, be adventurous and give Northern Ireland a chance. Yeah, they may not have the accents we'd hope for, and sure it'll cost you a little more to peruse then euro zone Ireland. But remember the next time you're at a dinner party and that one guy starts out his story: "Oh, back when I was in Dublin, and yes I mean…," (we know he was really just there for a two-hour layover after some business trip) all the dinner guests begin to slouch in their seats and prepare for the long ride ahead. That's where you jump in and say: "Yeah, but did I ever tell you about the time that I scaled the perilous bridge of Carrick-a-Rede." Instantly the heavens will turn ominous and roar with thunder. You'll then be transformed into a bearded fisherman with one leg and a yellow rain slicker. Instantly endowed with an impromptu Irish accent. All the, once bored, dinner quests will be on the edge of their seats, glued to every word of your tantalizing Irish tale.
Editor's Note: When telling your 'tantalizing Irish tale,' resist the urge to say 'top of the mornin' to ya', which no one in Ireland actually says or even worse, 'Argh!' which gives the story a pirate feel ultimately leading to the death of your once interesting story, prompting the return of the business trip drivel. Trust me, you don't want that.

Ray Rice was caught on video assaulting his fiancé and has since been cut by his team, suspended indefinitely, and become a pariah. Greg Hardy was convicted of assaulting his girlfriend in July and he is quietly playing football with the Carolina Panthers as if nothing happened. Donald Sterling, due to a number of lawsuits and allegations over the years, was widely believed to be a racist, but he managed to be an owner for 30 years with virtually no complaints from any of the players or NBA executives. But when he was caught on tape telling his girlfriend that he did not want her going to games with black people, the NBA and the general public were outraged and he was forced to sell his team.
We always knew that Ray Rice knocked out his fiancé in that elevator, which was why there was a negative reaction to the original 2 game suspension. The NFL, after listening to all the criticism over the 2 game suspension, changed its policy so that in the future, a player would receive a six game suspension for domestic abuse. Then when the second Ray Rice video was released showing us exactly what we already knew, the NFL then suspended Rice indefinitely. Many have pointed out that it seems the real reason why Rice's suspension is so long is that he happened to be caught on tape.
Leaving aside the discussion of what would have been an appropriate punishment for Ray Rice, it is intriguing how much more outrage the public feels when they actually see the incident with their own eyes. It is important to keep in mind that this is not a case where the video clarified guilt or innocence; we always knew that Rice assaulted his fiancé in that elevator and then dragged her out like a sack of potatoes. It was seeing it that caused the outrage.
The lesson I take from all of this is not simply that people are hypocrites, but rather that people may need to something with their own eyes before they truly know their opinion of it. Maybe people should hold off on forming strong opinions on something until they have seen it with their own eyes. How many supporters of the death penalty would have the same position if they had to watch prisoners being executed? On the flipside, how many people who typically favor leniency and early parole for convicts would feel the same way if they were forced to watch the actual violent crimes that were committed?
The same people that are now outraged over Ray Rice's original two game suspension and calling for Roger Goodell's head never batted an eye over the years as one player after another was convicted of domestic abuse and didn't face a single game suspension. Those stories just faded into the background just like all those nightly stories on Ebola outbreaks, civil wars, famines, and child poverty reports. We hear the stories, conceptually we agree they are terrible, and then we clean up the dishes.
Over the past year we heard stories about this group in Syria that were so violent even Al Qaeda disowned them, but collectively we just shrugged off the thousands of deaths until we saw a video of a hostage being barbarically beheaded. Now we are going to war with them. If ISIS had massacred an entire village of 10,000 people that day instead of posting the video footage of killing that journalist, they would not be the target airstrikes right now. If Greg Hardy's assault had been videotaped instead of Ray Rice's, Hardy would be suspended and Rice would be playing football this weekend. Seeing isn't just believing, seeing is feeling.

Cloud computing and the online population continue to grow, and as companies like Google, Facebook, and Apple gain bigger audiences they also need larger datacenters. Greenpeace is concerned about this because of the energy required to power these enormous buildings full of servers, and is asking the big technology companies to focus on using renewable energy.
Although measures are already being taken to reduce the power consumption of datacenters, there is still a major reliance on non-renewable energy. One such example is Facebook's new Prineville, Oregon datacenter which will rely on the Pacific Power utility company for energy provision. Pacific uses a large amount of coal to provide power, so is seen as a concern for Greenpeace.
Greenpeace state that datacenter power consumption will overtake the combined power requirements of France, Germany, Canada, and Brazil by 2012.
Read more at BBC News
Matthew's Opinion
I don't think any of the tech companies are dismissing renewable energy and trying to save power. The fact is, energy is expensive so any way it can be saved is thought about and implemented. Datacenters are starting to ditch air conditioning in favor of natural airflow through buildings, for example.
Hydropower, solar, and wind are all being used if they are accessible to a datacenter, and Google has also started experimenting with wave power and creating floating datacenters. Some datacenters route their waste heat to act as heating or a power source for other buildings. There's also the introduction of Bloom Energy, which relies on natural gas, but uses significantly less fuel to generate energy. It's a power source of the future, but is already in use at a number of technology campuses.
Greenpeace are right to highlight the need to focus on renewable energy, but I believe this is one area where the companies running these centers will jump to renewable and clean energy wherever possible because it is cheaper and more reliable going forward.

Diabolical (2015) Film Review. Directed by Alistair Legrand. Distributed by XLrator Media.High Flyers U.K. Running time 83 minutes, certificate 15.
There is not a lot I can say about Diabolical,without giving any plot spoilers away,as it has a M Night Shyamalan twist about it,I didn't get it at first,but it is a film you will need to watch multiple times,to understand,and to take everything in What I can tell you is that for a low budget film,it has definitely high end production looking values to it,with an on form Ali Larter playing a single mother,in financial difficulties,with stress from the bank wanting to foreclose her mortgage,whilst being terrified by some malevolent being,that keeps appearing in her house.She has a son with serious anger issues,who keeps lashing out at school,and is currently seeing a therapist,and a daughter who believes the manifestation is her dad,we have a company,working for the bank,wanting the house for some kind of development,wanting to pay over the odds,but when the children leave the perimeter later on they become desperately ill.With some genuinely horrible scenes,especially the man in his first form,tearing at his skin,and the same man appearing from the washing machine is truly horrible. With the apparition appearing more human every time,it certainly keeps you on your toes,and you are trying to second guess what is happening.
With a twist that at first I didn't get,but trust me on multiple viewings you may get it, we have a horror film that is unlike any other at the moment,with perfect casting of Ali Lartner,as the mother at her wits end,who will do anything to protect her children.
With some decent scare scenes,but not jump scares,with some horrible scenes involving the being,not being fully human,or formed is truly horrible. As I said a horror film like no other,that will equally scare you,and confuse you at the same time,with this edge,is what makes this film uniquely different,and certainly watchable.

WordCamp Notes – Attractability, Readability, Irresistibility Online
Liz Strauss smacks John Pozadzides around over his blog design while talking about what goes into good design.
- readability – white space is your friend. Echoes from those technical writing classes.
- John P. edits his CSS on the fly… and gets crap for it. Hehehe.
- adjust the type based on the font
- different headers should have different font sizes – h1 twice the size of the default font
- you should care about what your blog looks like and that it doesn't look like everyone else's – who else with
- a canned theme feel like they are being lectured by the pricipal?
- using archives – using dates vs not using dates and archives
- related posts – put key words on every post
- look at the wall and then look back at your blog – where is your eye drawn to?

A Disturbing Video
This is a video I made last week of some of the pictures my family has taken on my moms Mac. I'm a little nervous to post this because it may permanently destroy my family's image. Hopefully you'll remember while watching this that in reality, my family is, for the most part, a somewhat normal family--although that statement may be hard to believe after viewing this. :) Enjoy.

A generally accepted fact in the world of Content Marketing is that being useful is one of the main criteria for achieving results with a content campaign.
But how do you find out which questions your audience needs answers to?
At Koozai, one of our starting points tends to be Answer the Public.
Answer the Public is a clever consumer insight tool that combines the suggested searches from Bing and Google and visualises them in what could be called a search cloud. Organised in categories such as what, where and why, these search clouds provide an overview of the questions people are typing into search engines from their various devices.
Internet users asking existential questions in Google.
This type of insight is invaluable for content marketers like me for the following reasons:
As an agency, we work for a very wide range of clients, which means we get to immerse ourselves in many different industries. Before we start producing our content marketing proposals, we carry out elaborate research into a client's existing content, competitors and audience as part of the onboarding process.
When it comes to getting to know an audience, we use tools like Google Analytics, but consumer insight tools like Answer the Public can provide a unique insight into what this audience is asking in relation to our client's product. Sometimes, the questions asked online are of a rather personal nature. As content marketers, we can meet the needs of our audience by delivering valuable answers to their questions.
Some of the questions I found around the topic of prostate cancer recently.
Once you've established the questions people are asking in relation to your product or service and you've chosen the ones you'd like to answer, you can continue gathering more data with a keyword research tool like SEMrush. This will give you the number of monthly searches for specific related keywords, allowing you to choose the ones for which you'd like to optimise your answers.
Using generic and long-tail key phrases in the content you produce will further increase your relevancy for your target audience in the eyes of Google.
SEMrush keyword results around the topic of prostate cancer.
Knowing which questions your audience types into Google allows you to include these directly in your content – for example as subheadings in a user guide or a FAQ article. With the help of your keyword research, you can then proceed to optimise your answers for more long-tail key phrases that generally have less competition.
Some long-tail keywords with decent search volumes on the topic of prostate cancer.
Google's featured snippets are excerpts of information pulled from various websites in order to present Google users with answers without having to click through to a website. Appearing in a featured snippet will give your brand amazing exposure and position you as an expert in your field in the minds of your audience.
How can you get your content into Google's featured snippets? Giving concise or list-style answers to the questions your audience is asking is a very good start. By optimising these answers for generic and long-tail key phrases, you're increasing your chances even further. On top of that, there are some technical considerations you'll want to take into account – but you can leave that to your SEO experts. In the end, what matters is that you provide your audience with what they're looking for in a glimpse – if they want to get into more detail, they can always click through to your site.

Inspiration from Nature's Colour Palette
In the latest issue of "Inside Out - Annual Renovating & Decorating Guide "there is a gorgeous feature article "In Full Bloom" that captures nature's nurturing of colour. To quote Rowena Judd, of Murobond: " Nature provides us with the mosty perfect display of colours & colour combinations. Rarely do you see colours in nature that are not in balance".
I think flowers are one of the most beautiful forms of art. Regardless of what the seasonal blooms may be, having flowers around you, in your garden, your home, your office, study or bedroom, infuse us with joy, harmony, grace & beauty.
With the weekend upon us, tomorrow I'm off to buy tulips - pale pink, white, winter roses perhaps...I love my two cream milking jugs for the longer stems, they always create a statement, for the entrance table, or the sideboard. When I feel like a dose of strong colour, I love my fabulous Moet Chandon champagne bucket that I have kept since depleting the contents that I was given as a gorgeous gift from girlfriends a couple of years ago - it looks wonderful with white or fuschia pink tulips. Of course with strategic placement, it creates a fabulous statement against the wisteria & jasmine creeper beyong my kitchen window that lines my courtyard fence. How the colour of blooms inspires us, endlessly & always.

I am in love with this kitchen, isn't it just divine??? White walls & floor, so warm & light. They frame the oak, stainless steel & artwork beautifully. Note the gorgeous touches to inspire morning noon & night. I adore the painting, (artist details to be noted in blog to follow), the milking stools back with the oak table, not to mention the white wash stepladder...a practical piece of course, but very country chic against the white timber panelling. I love mine, the steps are perfect shelving for my growing collection of cooking magazines & books...using space wisely of course!

Walk to the site of the first Sydney Harbour Tunnel through bushland reserves streets with many reminders of Sydney's maritime past and enjoy stunning Harbour views.
The walk starts at Shell Park in Greenwich Road. Shell Park is a lovely piece of bushland on the shores of the Lane Cove River. Enjoy views through the trees to Hunters Hill, Woolwich and Cockatoo Island as we walk to Greenwich ferry wharf. Houses of particular historical interest can be seen in Lower Serpentine St and Richard St. At the end of Richard St there is a view of the Greenwich baths – a delightful Harbour pool. The next point of interest is Mann's Point which is now the home of the Greenwich Sailing Club but several industrial ventures were carried out here in the 19th and 20th centuries. It is also the site of the first tunnel built under Sydney Harbour. A short climb takes us to Mann's Point 's Lookout with its panoramic Harbour views. The return walk to Shell Park passes some of Greenwich's original houses.
Length: 3.2km
Grade: Easy ( just one short steep climb)
Duration: 2 hours

Just Deserts (Saguaro Sunrise 2018)
I don't think I have ever waited so long to commit to doing a race. Scheduled just one week after A2A, it fit a hole I classically have not even filled with training. It has been a time to relax and recover. A time for activities like the Merced Loop that conflict with my usual Canada Road routine. To race then would be crazy. And yet, I felt drawn to Oro Valley. They do so many things right. Travel logistics are nearly effortless. Cost is low both in direct cost and vacation time (none!). The course is both challenging and fun. And yet I kept hearing that it was in trouble. I couldn't stay away.
And so I found myself driving from PHX to Tucson on a Saturday afternoon with not yet healed road rash from the big race. I hadn't considered that possibility. I even did the Rollerblade sponsored social skate, which turned out to be a significant workout. But hey, if you're going to break the rules of race prep, there is no need to stop at one. Needless to say, I didn't expect great results.
Race day began in normal fashion. My normal, I won't bore you with the details. I met friends from near and far at the start line. Some I had met at other races this year. Others more local that I hadn't seen much of this year. This includes Veronica who I paced with at last year's race.
Time ticked down and we were off! The pace was a bit slow, limited by the pace car. The real racing didn't begin until about a mile in. At that point, I promptly fell off anything resembling a pace line. My A2A fatigued muscles didn't have much surge ability in them.
But I could still climb and the start of Saguaro is a two mile climb. As I powered up the hill I started passing people. By the time I reached the crest I had four behind me, including Veronica. I kept the lead in the rollers that followed, finally yielding to Ken Huss near the turn around. When Ken pulled off, I was back in the lead again where I didn't want to be. I yielded immediately, expecting one the the two other guys to pull. This didn't happen. Veronica took a seemingly short pull but I was back in front before we headed down.
I remembered the big decent from last year as only moderately fast but oddly destabilizing. Fresh from A2A, I wasn't going to let this hill intimidate me but I wanted answers. I found them. The pavement is lumpy. Not cracked or potholed but covered in softball diameter low rising bumps. Just like the new pavement on Canada Road. It seems to be paved in the same way. I thought I remembered it being smoother last year but I think that was just in comparison to the gatorback. As we reached the bottom and the start/stop lines it actually did became quite nice. As we rounded the turn and began lap 2, it became clear that we were now just three: Ken, Veronica and me.
I led all the way up again, then Ken, then back to me. it was still a funny downhill but we held together. As the finish line loomed, Ken went slightly ahead. Veronica and I held hands and crossed the line in an A2A style deliberate tie. 1:18 pace. Not bad. Not fabulous. Good enough for first place in a lightly contested age bracket.
At the awards I met Ben Price, from last week's pack. We were the only one's to come here after this year's A2A and the only one's to step onto the podium on skates. He was much more graceful.
And so concludes my 2018 racing season. Seven races/seven plane tickets. Its been a blast but also a bit overwhelming. No Silver Strand for me. I will be been enjoying the less structured time until I get the itch again. Probably sometime next spring.

That was such an awesome race! I loved the hills. Well organized event. And the host hotel was also pretty spectacular. I hope the race continues next year!

Thought I needed a bit more structure with regards to forward planning than it previous notebook. I had used a "calendex" in my Bullet Journal, put notes on current day's page and indexed them in the calendex. It worked well when I had limited things I needed to check in advance.
These days, I seem to have more things in my future to allow for. I thought that having a structured diary would allow me better forward planing. Turns out that's not necessarily true and I'll possibly be going back to a dot-grid notebook next year.
I miss the free form flexibility a blank page presents. It can be notes or a collection, or the usual daily pages. The monthly pages and reviews helped me focus even though I detested spending time setting them up and migrating from the previous month.
So, the question is… what will I fit into my Techo Cousin cover for my 2017 Bullet Journal?
I guess I've got a bit of time to think about it.

Protesting bus drivers in Cambodia ordered to halt strike
Protesting tour bus drivers were ordered by the Arbitration Council to end a one-week strike and return to work today, but strikers say they will not return until their fired colleagues are also reinstated.
Since last Wednesday, about 50 drivers for Capitol Tours Cambodia have protested outside the bus company's Phnom Penh headquarters to demand the rehiring of five co-workers who the drivers say were fired for forming a labour union.

text: In this paper, we tackle with bots in rhythm games, which feature gameplay that incorporates eye and body coordination with music, usually a popular song. Bot detection in rhythm games is especially challenging compared with in other game genres because little information is available to distinguish the responses made by a human player from a bot. Based on the long-memoryness of the time series formed by human players' response errors to stimuli, we propose a scheme to detect the presence of human coordination mechanisms during gameplay. Based on a set of traces collected from human players and real-life game bots, we show that our scheme can accurately detect the use of game bots despite of game difficulty levels.

This calls for a cheers: four San Diego-based craft breweries were ranked winners at the U.S. Open Beer Championships in Ohio last month, beating out thousands of other breweries.
Ballast Point Brewing Company, Stone Brewing Co., Mission Brewery and the Coronado Brewing Company all took home awards.
Competitors entered nearly 4,000 beers into the championship, some breweries hailing from as far away as China and the Czech Republic.
The Scene
Food. Fun. Lifestyle. Features. All in America's Finest City.
Ballast Point Brewing Company won the Grand National Championship with three gold medals and one silver thanks to its Ballast Point Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale and Sculpin IPA.
Stone Brewing Co. placed seventh overall: two gold medals and one silver with Stone Ruination Double IPA 2.0, Stone Delicious IPA and Stone Imperial Russian Stout.
Mission Brewery won two gold medals in the Hard Root Beer and Carrack Imperial Red Ale categories.
"We couldn't be more excited about the response our craft hard root beer has received in the market," Mission Brewery owner Dan Selis said. "We expect it to continue growing in popularity."
The Coronado Brewing Company won a bronze with its Barrel-Aged Stupid Stout.

This Bugzilla instance is a read-only archive of historic NetBeans bug reports. To report a bug in NetBeans please follow the project's instructions for reporting issues.
Given this code:
class MatchHashOrAttribute < Match
def initialize arg
@matches = {}
arg.each_pair do |foo, val|
@matches[foo] = Match.match_factory(val)
def match? rhs
result = false
@matches.each_pair do |foo, val|
if Hash === rhs
matched = val.match?(rhs[foo])
(matched = val.match?(rhs.send(foo))) rescue nil
if matched
result = true
result = false
Put the cursor on the first 'name'. All the instances of 'name' are highlighted in both methods, and if you hit ctrl-r
on any one of them all of them are renamed in both methods.
IMHO, this is a showstopper for final release; if the other variables are off the screen, there's no way for the user to
know that they've just changed variables names all over their code.

Thanks for the report. I don't see 'name' referenced in the code; were you referring to one of the dynamic vars perhaps
(foo, val) ? Also, your build is 6.1 not 6.0, but this code hasn't changed since 6.0 so unlike the other lexing bug you
filed this has a high chance of being a problem in 6.0 as well. I'll investigate tomorrow.
Sorry about that - 'name' was the original value, 'foo' was the new value.

Now the question is whether we push this into the release branch.
James argued that we should, and I'm inclined to agree. I wouldn't hold the release for this single bug fix, but if we
are respinning the build for anything else, I'd like to include this fix. It's really simple. Basically, a "break"
statement was intended to jump out of an iteration, but because this break statement was inside a switch-statement, it
only broke out of the switch. What we need is a labelled break:

This code is basically walking up the AST path looking for the current enclosing method/class/module. When it sees it,
it's supposed to stop - but because of this bug, it didn't, and as a result, the whole AST tree was included in the
search for block nodes - which is clearly wrong. I've added new unit tests to detect this scenario.
I will attach a patch for 6.0 if somebody wants to review it. The fix can be tested in deadlock.netbeans.org build #5489
or later.

A report has revealed that graduates are more likely to work in lower-skilled jobs than graduates a decade ago, according to the Office for National Statistics.
The report shows that 35 percent of recent graduates are employed in lower-skilled jobs - up from 26 percent in 2001.
The data reveals that in the last three months of 2011 nearly one fifth of graduates, 18.9 percent, were unemployed.
"The recession has hit the job prospects of recent graduates but they are still nearly 20 percent more likely to be in work than people without degrees," said TUC general secretary Brendan Barber.
"A lack of high-quality jobs has forced more graduates into lower-skilled jobs over the last decade.
"Raising the skills of UK workers must be accompanied with an industrial strategy focused on boosting high-value industries such as manufacturing. Otherwise public investment in education and the talents of UK graduates will be wasted."
The report defies lower-skilled jobs as jobs that "tend to require competence only through compulsory education".
In the final quarter of 2011, 86 percent of all graduates were in work compared with 72.3 percent of those without a degree.

Most music is made with a guitar. Learning to play the guitar is something you can do even if you've never thought to try. If you think you want to learn how to play the guitar well, this article is going to help you with that.
Take guitar lessons. When self-teaching guitar, you should still have one objective person to watch you play. A teacher can help you get better at playing the guitar. It also helps when you can ask questions on the spot.
Stay motivated through any means necessary. You should create both short-term and long-term goals for your guitar playing. Find a buddy who is also interested in learning and practice together. Give yourself a reward every week or so if you've done your practicing each day. Keep in mind that where there's no pain, there's no gain.
Learn about guitar tabs and musical notation. Musical theory can help you understand each scale and how different chords work. Learn each individual string's note name, and also the note associated with each fret. If you want to play riffs and melodies, this information is good to know.
When you wish to start taking the steps needed to play a guitar, you should do what it takes to get a good instrument to practice on. If purchasing a good guitar is out of reach, think about borrowing or renting your instrument. A good guitar makes it so you know you're hearing the best possible sound when you practice.
Remember to build callouses on your fingers when playing guitar. Calluses will reduce any pain felt from strumming the guitar strings. It'll take time for these callouses to develop, but they'll soon appear if you practice often. There are also some products you can buy to build calluses.
Memorize the different grips and parts of a guitar. This will help as you begin to play, as you will need to know the instrument well as you begin to learn chords, scales and the names of the strings.
You may get sore fingertips before they develop calluses. You may find it less painful to play on an electric guitar or a nylon-string guitar. Avoid steel-string guitars, as they tend to hurt the most. It might feel good to soak your fingers in alcohol, but avoid hazardous substances like turpentine.
Learn how to play songs in different keys. When you learn to play one tune in different keys, you can start to understand different chords. It will also assist you in better understanding music. You are going to have a deeper understanding of music, and you'll be an even better musician for that reason.
When you commit to learning to play the guitar, don't skimp practice time. You will never achieve anything worthwhile if you are unwilling to work hard. You should aim to get in at least half an hour of practice most, if not all, days of the week.
You will probably want to buy a metronome. This is a great idea if you are unfamiliar with timing or can't keep a rhythm. Instead of struggling to keep the beat, the metronome will set the pace, and make it easier to improve your skills. You'll be more efficient when it comes to learning if you use a metronome.
Don't break the bank with the first guitar you buy. Buying a high-end guitar to practice on is not a good idea. You might realize that guitar playing isn't for you. In addition, an inexpensive guitar will often do the trick. You must know how much you want to invest in one instead of just guessing.
Get yourself a guitar playing friend. Ask someone else who likes similar styles of music if they want to practice. You may learn some techniques that are new to you. In addition, when you practice with someone you like, your practice sessions are more enjoyable and fun. By practicing with someone who is at about the same skill level you are, you can challenge each other and move forward together.
Use everyday products to alleviate any finger soreness you might experience. First, before you start a playing session, dip your fingers in vinegar and keep them there for at least thirty seconds. Icing the tips of your fingers lightly can also help alleviate soreness. You will find it helpful to put on a benzocaine-based product prior to and after playing.
Strum your guitars to learn chord play. That way, you will learn chords and start blending them properly. It can also help out when you're able to make a smooth change between chords because you practiced them quite a bit. Take time to learn strumming and its various benefits for better guitar playing.
After buying a guitar and starting to practice, maintain the guitar! Cleaning and maintaining it properly can make it last for years. Make sure to discover how best to tune your guitar, change its strings and keep it clean. You will end up with something you can take pride in.
Use headphones when playing with an amp. Many people favor the idea of playing with amps. However, this can be impractical. Most people are not fond of the noise this instrument makes. If you're having an issue with noise, consider purchasing some headphones to reduce the sound.
Find out to use the pick for the guitar properly. Picking up the pick is an important part of learning guitar. Forming good techniques from the beginning will make you a better guitarist later on. Properly hold the pick. Practice playing with one and challenge yourself regularly with different picking patterns.
Learn how to read music fluently. It is also fantastic to be able to play by ear. This means learning to play something just by hearing it. This improves your repertoire and skills when you master this skill.
The guitar is a great instrument to know how to play. If you have skills in guitar playing, you can practically play any type of music out there. From rock to classical and everything in between, the guitar is one of the most versatile instruments for playing all of your favorite songs.
