South Korea has launched a cyberwarfare command centre designed to fight against possible hacking attacks blamed on North Korea and China.
The division boasts a reported 200 techies, who will be tasked with tackling a reported 95,000 hacking attacks the country's military networks face every day. North Korea was blamed for a wave of attacks against US and South Korean websites last July. However since botnets were used in the attack the true orchestrator of the assault remains unclear.
More recently North Korean hackers were blamed for lifting a secret US-South Korean war plan from South Korean systems last month. Some reports suggest the hack may have relied on the use of an insecure (malware infected?) memory stick.
Earlier Trojan-based attacks targeted at South Korean government agencies dating back to 2004 were blamed on Chinese hackers rumoured to have the support or perhaps even the involvement of the Peoples' Liberation Army.
The South's cyberwar centre can also be seen as a response to a rumored cyberwarfare unit already operating out of North Korea. Rumours have it the unit is staffed by around 100 including graduates from a military academy in Pyongyang. Whatever the truth of these reports it's probably fair to say that cyber-paranoia is rife on both sides of the 51st parallel. ®

The Firebase Realtime Database provides a flexible, expression-based rules language with JavaScript-like syntax to easily define how your data should be structured, how it should be indexed, and when your data can be read from and written to. Combined with our authentication services, you can define who has access to what data and protect your users' personal information from unauthorized access.
Configuring rules
You can find and change the rules for your database in the Firebase console. Simply choose your project, click on the Database section on the left, and then select the Rules tab. If you would like to test your security rules before putting them into production, you can simulate operations in the console using the Simulate button in the upper right of the rules editor.
You can also update your rules using our Command Line Interface, which allows you to update your rules programmatically, such as from an automated deployment system. The CLI also supports deploying rules to multiple, non-default databases via deploy targets.
Sample rules
By default, your database rules require Firebase Authentication and grant full read and write permissions only to authenticated users. The default rules ensure your database isn't accessible by just anyone before you get a chance to configure it. Once you're set up, you can customize your rules to your needs. Here are some common examples:
The default rules disable read and write access to your database by users. With these rules, you can only access the database through the Firebase console.
// These rules don't allow anyone read or write access to your database
"rules": {
".read": false,
".write": false
During development, you can use the public rules in place of the default rules to set your files publicly readable and writable. This can be useful for prototyping, as you can get started without setting up Authentication. This level of access means anyone can read or write to your database. You should configure more secure rules before launching your app.
// These rules give anyone, even people who are not users of your app,
// read and write access to your database
"rules": {
".read": true,
".write": true
Here's an example of a rule that gives each authenticated user a personal
node at
/users/$user_id where
$user_id is the ID of the user
obtained through Authentication. This is a common scenario for any
apps that have data private to a user.
// These rules grant access to a node matching the authenticated
// user's ID from the Firebase auth token
"rules": {
"users": {
"$uid": {
".read": "$uid === auth.uid",
".write": "$uid === auth.uid"
It is essential that you configure these rules correctly before launching your app to ensure that your users can only access the data that they are supposed to.

'Tis the day after Christmas and all through the house many kids aren't stirring... They're joyfully lost in their new smartphones, tablets or smart TVs.
And it's likely mom and dad are a little digitally distracted too.
In many households, screens are omnipresent. That reality has some big implications for children. Researchers, for example, have found language delays in those who watch more television.
So what are parents and caregivers to do? That question can be tricky to answer, says Amanda Lenhart, who studies how families use technology at The AP-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.
"The thing about parenting today with digital technology is that you don't have your own experience to go back to and look at," Lenhart recently told NPR's All Things Considered. "When you were 10, there probably weren't cellphones. Parents think it's kind of a brave new world, and it changes so fast."
For guidance on screen time, parents often turn to the American Academy of Pediatrics. In 2016, the group pulled back from its longstanding recommendation of no screen time for children under 2 years.
The AAP stance is now more nuanced. For babies under 18 months, screen time is still discouraged, except for things like Skype or FaceTime calls with grandma. The big change in thinking is around children aged 18 to 24 months. Instead of urging an outright ban, the pediatricians' group suggests parents who want to introduce screen time do so with high-quality programming, viewed in small quantities alongside their children. That recommendation holds for children 2 to 5 years old, limited to less than an hour a day.
Advice from the AAP and others in the education world emphasizes parent participation in the digital lives of children — to help kids tap into what's fun and creative, and not just use a device as a quick babysitter. Putting that advice into practice is not always so easy though. And as kids get older, the challenges get more complex. The NPR Ed team heard a lot about that when we gathered a group of parents at an NPR Generation Listen event this year in New York City.
"If I can just like get them out the door with their pants on, [it] feels like we've won the morning," said participant Justin Ruben about his two kids — aged 3 and 7. "I feel overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to curate my kid's digital experience."
Lenhart, who studies how families use technology, can relate. She has four daughters and says even she has a hard time following the recommendations: "We get all these great ideas from literature, but then putting it into practice is nearly impossible or is really, really difficult, given the modern lives that we lead — whether it's that your kids won't touch a carrot from 20 feet away or that you really just need 25 minutes and so you put your kids in front a screen so you can get that time."
And to complicate matters further — it isn't just kids' screen time that parents need to think about. A recent study by Common Sense Media found that parents spend, on average, almost nine and a half hours a day in front of a screen. And nearly 80 percent of those surveyed said they think they're modeling good media and watching habits for their kids.
Parents, it seems, need a little screen time reality check too, says Common Sense Media founder and CEO James Steyer. His bottom line for them: Try to model moderation, set some house rules and talk about device use with your kids.
"As a parent, you are your child's most important role model," Steyer says. "How you use media, how you use technology and how much you use it, is critically important."
'Tis the day after Christmas, and all through the house, many kids probably are not stirring because they're joyfully lost in digital devices. Many parents know that well. Maybe the kids are playing with that new app or game on their smartphone, maybe computer tablet, smart TV. Perfectly fine today, it's a holiday, but experts caution against too much screen time for children, especially younger children. And there's been some changes in their thinking this year. And let's talk about that with NPR's Eric Westervelt from the NPR Ed team. He's on the line. Hey, Eric.
ERIC WESTERVELT, BYLINE: Hey, David.
GREENE: So what exactly are experts saying or updating when it comes to these guidelines?
WESTERVELT: The American Academy of Pediatrics pulled back this year from what had been a really long-standing recommendation. They came out with it way back in 1999 that children under age 2 shouldn't have any screen time. They updated that based on research and the reality that screens are everywhere in people's lives all the time.
Now the organization still suggests no screen time is ideal for children under 18 months, except for things like video chats with grandma. But for kids in general 18 to 2 years, the Academy switched and said we need to focus now on what's on the screen and who else is in the room. The recommendation now is to avoid solo screen time with children in that age group.
GREENE: I see.
WESTERVELT: The idea is to treat screen time more like reading a book. You should have a parent or caregiver there present, interacting, pointing out what's on the screen, talking to the toddler.
GREENE: Or talking to grandma.
WESTERVELT: Right, FaceTime and Skype don't count.
GREENE: (Laughter) That's right. Well, what about as kids get older, I mean, like ages 2, 3, 4, 5?
WESTERVELT: Well, the Academy recommends for that group no more than an hour of screen time a day. And as with the younger children recommendations, the Academy says, look, it's important to try to have a parent or caregiver be present. That engagement aspect is key.
GREENE: Eric, I could hear parents hearing this and being like, that's all well and good, but in day-to-day life, it is so hard to figure out how to make the rules at home, how to enforce the rules, when it's OK to be flexible. I mean, this is tough stuff.
WESTERVELT: It is indeed. I mean, enforcing an hour of screen time in the real world, many parents might say it's just not happening. And we heard a lot about that challenge when we got a group of parents together at an NPR Generation Listen event in New York City recently. For example, some educators and experts suggest parents should, as much as possible, try to help curate their children's digital lives to help them tap into what's fun and creative and not just use a device as a babysitter. But Justin Krasner, a father of two children - a 7-year-old and a 3-year-old - says he isn't sure that's realistic.
JUSTIN RUBEN: I feel like if I can just get them out the door with pants on, it feels like we've won the morning. So I feel overwhelmed at the prospect of trying to curate my kids' digital experience.
GREENE: (Laughter) The bar is low. Just get the kids out with the pants on.
WESTERVELT: Right, the breakfast challenge, get them out the door. I mean, it is tough. We talked to even experts who study this very issue of youth families and screen time. Amanda Lenhart does that for a living. She has four daughters, and she says, look, even I have a tough time putting my research recommendations into practice.
AMANDA LENHART: I don't think there are easy answers. The literature hasn't caught up, and the truth of it is a lot of times what I think we find is that we get all these great ideas from literature, but then putting it into practice is really, really difficult given the modern lives that we lead, whether it's that your kids won't touch a carrot from, you know, 20 feet away or that you really just need 25 minutes and so you put your kid in front of the screen so that you can get that time.
GREENE: And are we spending more time on devices as time goes on, I would imagine?
WESTERVELT: Right. There was a recent study out by Common Sense Media that said people with children spend on average almost nine and a half hours a day in front of a screen.
GREENE: Oh, the parents, these are the parents we're talking about.
WESTERVELT: Yeah. You know, here's the thing - 80 percent of parents in that study also said we think we're modeling good behavior for screen time and watching habits for the kids. But there's a bit of hypocrisy there. I mean, I'm guilty of it in my own house. My daughter calls me out on it and says you tell me I can't use the iPad anymore, but, you know, you're on your phone all the time. You're checking email, and you're - you know, she's right. I'm busted, you know? Do I really have to retweet Don Gonyea right then? No, I can wait.
GREENE: (Laughter) Our colleague Don Gonyea. I would retweet him anytime. That is valuable screen time, I would say, but set a better example in other places, Eric.
WESTERVELT: I'm going to try, David.
GREENE: All right. NPR's Eric Westervelt from the NPR Ed team. Thanks a lot, Eric.
WESTERVELT: Thank you, David.

Jesse James and All The Boys
I've always considered myself lucky to have grown up in Austin, Texas, during the late 1940s when a musical explosion centered on western swing and traditional Texas dance music was taking place.
I still recall that first week when my family arrived from Yonkers, New York, to the capital city of the Lone Star State. Upon arrival, in order to assimilate to Texas culture, my parents hit the first record shop they could find and bought a package of 78s by Bob Wills and his Texas Playboys who were the rage at that time. Soon San Antonio Rose, Take Me Back To Tulsa, Miss Molly, and Roly Poly became my favorite songs at age ten, and their strains filled our upstairs apartment on West 6th Street often.
My folks quickly adjusted to Texas recreation when, after a hot day's work in Alex Fisher's grocery store (a property my father bought in 1943), they headed out several days a week to nightspots like the Pioneer Club, the Knights of Columbus Hall, Schultz's Garden, and sometimes the famous Dessau Hall to sip beer and 'cool off' on the outdoor patios and dance to the traditional waltzes, foxtrots, and polkas of Texas.
At that time a very popular presenter of these western dance styles in Austin was William 'Jesse' James and All The Boys. His popularity developed by broadcasting during the week around noontime on radio station KTBC, and when I had time off from school classes, usually during the summer, aspiring musicians like Bert Rivera, a Jimmy Grabowske fan, and I would visit the broadcasts in the large studio in the Brown Building.
"I really would like to play steel like Jimmy some day," Bert revealed to me, and he'd watch the player's every move on his solos. (My 1951 recording of Toe Tappin' Rhythm on Dionysus Records and Enviken Records of Sweden reflects Jimmy Grabowske's influence on Bert's steel guitar solo.)
"You boys are welcome to come and watch us play on the radio when you like," Jesse would say. He was a smiling, friendly person who wrote songs, sang, and played a beautiful Gibson, F-hole guitar. He, like Bob Wills, was a good organizer and chose the best players he could find. The ones I met often were Dean Curry and Harold Horner on piano, drummer Dowell Smith, the twin fiddle team of 'Roddy' Bristol and 'Junior' Burrow, and of course steel player Jimmy Grabowske, whom I got to know best.
One day during a visit to the station Jesse and the program director Richard 'Cactus' Pryor, son of 'Skinny' Pryor who opened the first motion picture theater in Austin, decided to record some songs following the broadcast to be released on 4 Star Records of Pasadena, California.
It was a great thrill to witness my first recording session in 1950 and to meet 'Cactus' Pryor who was to become a family friend to this day. I had already heard one of his records on the radio called Jackass Caravan which was a funny parody of Frankie Laine's Mule Train, also a hit by Tennessee Ernie, a record my dad bought at Woolworth's. "That sure was a funny record Cactus has out,"
I remarked to my friends. "I hope someday I can make a record."
With the help of my cousin Harold Layman I assembled on West 6th Street a neighbor band and started to record some songs I had written, thanks to the invention of disc recorders and technical assistance from Jack McGraw and Roy T. Poole who later went on to bigger things in the recording studio business. One of my first completed audio discs was a song I wrote called Disc Jockey Cactus. I took this demo record to Mrs. Macy Henry of Macy's Records in Houston along with a few other original tunes, hoping for my first record release. The lady patiently listened to my painful playing and high-pitched singing and wisely rejected me as Macy's Records' new singing sensation. "Come back in about ten years after your voice has developed and I'll give you another listen. You might have something there in that disc jockey song," she said encouragingly.
The influence of meeting Jesse and Cactus was rubbing off and any success I've had in performing and recording music sprang from these roots. These were people I watched and from whom I received my first music lessons.
On that interesting afternoon in the KTBC studio, records were being recorded for 4 Star; hopefully I've re-created them accurately for this Bear Family CD. I heard the band rehearse and get 'takes' of Flying Saucer Mama, and Rag Mop. Jesse's rendition of the latter tune was a 'cover' version of Johnny Lee Wills' hit on Bullet Records. I recall that all the musicians went into another room to listen to the original hit and came out practicing the lyric "do-di-lee-da-da-loo-di" over and over. The music and singing were all cut together with the band singing off-mike where they were standing. I seem to recall that Jesse did Flying Saucer Mama that day and last up was Cactus with his tune which was Hog Calling Champ Of Arkansas. He requested a double bass on this one and a call was made to Hub Sutter who had finished his radio show at nearby KVET. His bass player, Joe Ramon, who had been a member of Jesse's band previously, entered the studio cradling his instrument. This tune was somewhat complicated as it contained a key change in the middle when Turkey In The Straw had to be played during the hog calling sequence. A staff announcer named Jim Nummy and Hub Sutter had an interchange with Cactus.
Jesse James was known for having great players in his fiddle section, one being Roddy Bristol. He always soloed on The Hot Canary which was his 'show off' number. One day I asked Jesse what I needed to attain a copyright on one of my songs, Shatterproof Heart. "You need a musical lead sheet," Jesse advised, "Roddy can make one for you, here's his phone number." I called the fiddler and an appointment was made. I arrived at his apartment with my guitar. I picked out the melody of the song and Roddy quickly jotted down the notes. I left and a day or so later he presented me a beautifully crafted sheet. I acquired a copyright form, sent in the music sheet with the fee needed and a few weeks later I received my first copyright. It was a great feeling of accomplishment. This was in 1950.
"The Jole Blon Boy," Jesse would introduce the man walking up to the microphone with his fiddle in hand. Harry Choates, whose record of the Cajun song became a hit, was a frequent guest with Jesse and the Boys during the last year of his life. I watched Harry perform on the radio program several times including his last appearance a few days before he died in the Travis County Jail. (A great double CD of his recordings is 'Harry Choates – Devil In The Bayou', BCD 16355 BH.)
The Jesse James band remained on the radio and performed around central Texas until sometime in 1956 or '57. I ran into the man after the band had broken up and he told me he was now an investment salesman. He had left Austin and settled in Cheyenne, Wyoming and I lost track of him as I moved to Los Angeles, California in 1959. Kevin Coffey has provided an accurate discography of his recordings which include Bert Rivera Sr. as a drummer on some early tracks. I checked with my old friend Bert Jr. and he recalls that his dad was an early drummer with Jesse as he was a few times with my young Ramblin' Ray and the Ramblers group in 1951.
Hub Sutter was also an important part of Jesse's early years. He was a clarinet player and his music blended well with the fiddle which you'll hear on Jesse's first record on Bluebonnet Records, When Jole Blon And Kilroy Got Married.
A few years later he sang on another Jesse James' record when he rendered beautifully the Floyd Tillman classic, I've Got The Craziest Feeling. I knew Hub in the 1950s as I sat in on his KVET radio show also. In 1988 I renewed my friendship with him and his wife Doris and invited him to play on my tribute record to Jimmy Heap and the Melody Masters (Ray Campi: Taylor, Texas-1988, BCD 15486).
As I write these reminiscences I can picture in my mind's eye the gold 1947 Desoto limousine, its rack on the top brimming with instrument cases, with Junior driving, heading south on Congress Avenue around 5.00 p.m., delivering Jesse and the Boys to music-craving outposts like Bandera, La Grange, Bastrop, Dimebox, San Marcos, and Houston, Texas, to name a few, for another night of picking, dancing, and fun for all. I witnessed this scene several times in the past and cherish it today. It's a thrill to be able to produce this compact disc for Richard Weize and Bear Family Records and to re-live the songs I heard so beautifully played by good fellows who befriended this star-struck kid long ago.

We have to stop this PLEASE help!
French Islanders using live puppies and kittens as shark bait??
Please stop this senseless abuse to innocent puppies and kittens. French Islander, Mexican and yes American fishermen and hunters are using LIVE puppies and kittens as shark and alligator bait!! No living being should have to undergo this torture and insurmountable fear! This is inhumane and must stop NOW. Together we can make a difference and let our voice be heard as ONE. Please sign this petition and please pass this along. Thank you for caring. Blessed be ^;^
Currently the penalty is only 2 years and a little over$5,000 USD that is far too little for such a heinous crime. We urge that you raise the penalty to 10 years in prison with NO parole and a fine of $100,000. As well as offering a reward of $10,000 for turning in the offenders, which will come from the fines collected.This will hopefully act as a deterrent and will stop these horrendous acts against innocent animals FOREVER. Please do the right thing and help us stop these people.
Islanders on the French controlled Reunion Island have been using live dogs as shark bait.
The Sun claims that "a six-month-old labrador pup was recently found alive with a huge double hook through its snout – like the dog above – and another through a leg."
It is also claimed that local fisherman have also been using kittens!
Reunion Island is an overseas départements of France and an official region of France, giving it the same status as a province or state in other countries.
Dogs Used as Shark Bait on French Island
by Patrizio •
On feb 12, 2012
Stephanie Roche of the Brigitte Bardot Foundation, another animal-welfare group in Paris, confirmed that live animals are used as bait on Réunion. But, she said, it is not a common practice.
The Bardot organization has been fighting the practice for a decade. But this is the first time Réunion politicians have reacted strongly and swiftly to stop it, Roche said.
The French Embassy in Washington, D.C., issued a written statement condemning the use of dogs as shark bait, emphasizing that such acts are illegal and will not be tolerated in the French territory.
The embassy maintains these are very isolated cases and authorities on the island are closely monitoring the situation.
The Sea Shepherd Conservation Society in Friday Harbor, Washington State, is offering a U.S. $1,000 reward to any Réunion police officer who arrests anyone using live dogs or cats as bait for sharks.
Maggie Grant
Because this is horrendous and hideous. Can you imagine the fear these animals must be in the last minutes of their lives? No living being deserves to be treated and used this way. These are...
Because this is horrendous and hideous. Can you imagine the fear these animals must be in the last minutes of their lives? No living being deserves to be treated and used this way. These are private fishermen and the penalty is ONLY 2 years and a monetary fine of a little over $5,000 USD, we want the penalty to be stiffened to deter this horrific crime to 10 years in prison (no parole) and $100,000 fine.
Here is a video (it is in French) that shows the dog pictured is REAL, that this crime is real and it must be stopped worldwide. Please join this cause together we WILL put an end to using live animals as bait WORLDWIDE! http://www.30millionsdamis.fr/acces-special/web-tv/agir/jugement-a-la-reunion.html

|Note: This page is about an event that has already happened.
|It took place on 2009-10-20-2009-11-03.
THIS TRIP IS PAST -- but I am planning another Noisebridge China Trip:
More info on the trip in 2012 is available on its own wiki page:
Noisebridge China Trip 2
Because the first Noisebridge China Trips were so successful,
I am planning a third trip -- date TBD, but perhaps starting at the Beijing Maker Carnival (if it happens, end-of-April-2013.
Noisebridge China Trip 3
-- Mitch.
Noisebridge China Trip
My contract manufacturer for TV-B-Gone and TripGlasses and Trippy RGB Waves kits (and a few other things) has a plant in Shanghai and a plant in Ji Ning (about half way between Shanghai and Beijing) (both are SEZs -- Special Economic Zones).
Mike Zhao, an American who lives in San Rafael, but born in Shanghai, is the head of the contract manufacturer, called Etonnet. He's also a total geek, and goes to Maker Faire, and has been to Noisebridge. He's going to Shanghai and Ji Ning starting 20-October-2009, and asked me if I'd like to go, and asked if other NB people (and/or others) would like to go check out the manufacturing scene and China. Mike will return on the 27th, but I think it would be cool if the rest of us go to Beijing for a few days and check out a bit of China-ness there, as well as visit with some hacker-types at Beijing university. We will return on 3-November-2009.
To give a little taste of what it might be like:
A few months ago, Bunny, who manufactures Chumby in China, organized a trip to China to show interested people the manufacturing scene (and China). Evil Mad Scientist went along: Evil Mad Scientist Schenzhen trip
The cost will be very reasonable, as these things go, and the bulk of the cost would be the plane tickets to and from China. At the moment, a round trip ticket costs $694 (SFO to Shanghai, and then Beijing to SFO). When I went last time, nice hotel rooms were about $15 per night in the part of Shanghai I stayed in, and the total cost for me besides the plane ticket was about $350.
Note: We will need to limit the trip to the first 5 people other than me and Mike to buy their tickets, since we only have one large van to take us around once we get to China.
If you are interested, please add your name, below.
People interested in going to China from 20-October-2009 through 3-November-2009:
You do not need to be a member of Noisebridge to go on this trip.
The trip is limited to 5 people other than Mitch, so the first 5 people on this list (after Mitch) who buy their plane tickets will be able to join us:
Mitch Altman
David Yao
David Kelso
Christoph Maier
Jimmie Rodgers
Eric Boyd

Put a toolbox in your pocket
Give me a call when they invent an app that can open a bottle of beer. If they can figure out a way for your phone to strip speaker wire, tighten a loose screw or whittle a twig into a toothpick? Then I'll be impressed. In the meantime, keep your fancy smart phone in your pocket and pass me the Stauer Taskman... I've got some real work to do.
Maybe I sound cynical, but in this age of "advanced" technology, there are still things that need to be fixed... the old-fashioned way. That's when you need to put away the software and reach for some serious hardware. Our new Stauer Taskman Multi-Tool in grey and blue puts an entire toolbox in your pocket. You should have one in your glove compartment. On your workbench. Or in that drawer in the kitchen. Trust me, you'll want to keep one close. Especially after you figure out just what these little workhorses can do. Each anodized aluminum body houses an impressive array of stainless steel tools including spring-loaded pliers, screwdrivers, blades, saws, files, wire cutters and bottle openers. That's what I call a truly useful mobile device.

I spotted this recipe on Cookpad (Japanese) and I couldn't resist trying it. It looked simple and I knew if I made one small adjustment it would be fabulous. I happened to have some mackerel in the fridge and the supermarket had a bag of super ripe tomatoes on the discount veggie rack and I knew it was fate. The original recipe called for one can of tomatoes but they are in season now so fresh is best. I will try this again with canned tomatoes but I think I will splurge on expensive canned tomatoes as the freshness of the tomatoes was one of the reasons I enjoyed this so much.
Mackerel simmered in tomato sauce
4 mackerel fillets – make sure there are not too many bones
3 small tomatoes, cut into large chunks
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 clove garlic, diced/minced
1 tablespoon flour (to make gluten-free use rice flour)
salt and pepper to taste
splash of white wine or cooking sake (I used cooking sake)
Sprinkle some salt on the mackerel fillets and let them sit for five minutes. Dice/mince the garlic and saute it in the olive oil in a frying pan (large enough to fit all the ingredients) until it is fragrant but no darker than light brown. Pat the mackerel fillets dry with some paper towel and sprinkle with flour, salt and pepper. Add the fillets to the pan and brown on each side. They don't have to be fully cooked at this point. Once they are brown add the rest of the ingredients. Simmer everything on medium for about ten minutes. the fish will be fully cooked and the flavors will have melded. Serve.

Mark Mothersbaugh's love for art started early in his childhood, immediately after it was discovered that he was extremely nearsighted and legally blind. His first correctional glasses offered Mothersbaurgh a new view of the world, inspiring his obsession with imagery and illustrations. His first works, which he began creating in the late 60s and into the 70s, consisted of many different mediums, including rubber stamp designs, ink illustrations, screen printing, decals and mail art. He participated in local showings and received recognition for his work in his hometown of Akron, Ohio.
It all changed for Mothersbaurgh when he decided to share his postcard works in his critically acclaimed solo shows during the 80s and 90s, and with his gallery tour in 2003 titled HOMEFRONT INVASION! 2005's tour, The Visual Art Of Mark Mothersbaugh, featuring works from both his Postcard Diary Prints and Beautiful Mutants photographs.

Talk:Wrist Device
Real ones!
Check it out! How long before they become commonplace? I mean, integrate communications (i.e., a phone) and some basic apps (e.g., Tetris), and you'd have a "thing" on your wrist. --Buddy 05:57, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- That does make me want to get one. They look so cool. I want a "wrist thingy"!--My leg feels funny! 07:18, 17 May 2009 (UTC)
- The first "similar post" has Fallout 3 in it. That doesn't surprise me.-- -awedfrgt: possibly the biggest AFI/Futurama fan/ranter on the internet. 23:41, 7 June 2010 (CEST)
It is absolutely absurd for this page to be about the thing on Leela's wrist. The title of the page is fitting with the picture, as they are both referring specifically to the wristlojackimator itself. The name itself should have been enough of a clue for this, as LoJack is used for locating lost objects, e.g. cars. Naming the entire contraption after just one of its many components simply for lack of a better name is embarrassing to us as a fanatical community. Honestly, I'd be happier with Pip-Boy. If it doesn't have a name and The Thing (Leela Wears On Her Wrist) is for some reason unacceptable, then make up a name! I'm all for just calling it That Thing or something similar, as the humor surrounding the device comes from it NOT having a name. All I'm saying is the device itself deserves a separate page from the Wristlojackimator.--User:Pierresauce 00:56, 29 September 2011 (MST)
- Well, it can't be "That Thing (Leela Wears on Her Wrist)" because she's not the only one that has one. It has this name because it is the only time she or anyone has ever referred to it by anything resembling a proper name. I could understand moving it to a page with a more generic name, but this has been its name for years, so we'd need several members to approve that sort of thing. It's sort of ingrained now. And a new name would have to be settled upon. And what's a Pip-Boy? --Buddy 09:07, 29 September 2011 (CEST)

Blake Shelton, you've done it again. The country crooner has always been a bit quirky, and that was fully evident on Monday's The Voice when he paired soulful singer Terisa Griffin with mariachi man Julio Cesar Castillo.
Since making it through the blind auditions with his rendition of "La Bamba," Julio had yet to prove his versatility, making him a bit of an underdog in the competition. Blake attempted to find the middle ground between Terisa's and Julio's polar opposite styles with "Conga" by Latin diva Gloria Estefan. The resulting battle was one to remember.
The Voice Battle Rounds: Indie pair wows coaches — Who did Adam choose?Even more entertaining than watching Julio and Terisa perform the fast-paced hit was the reaction shots of the coaches' faces while they tried to process the strange duet. "For the first time on this show, I'm kind of speechless," Christina Aguilera said.
Adam Levine shared Xtina's dilemma, but the singer did manage to give his pal some kudos. "Blake, you've really outdone yourself on this one," he said. "It was odd and it worked."
Watch the full performance below to see who came out on top.

It's hard to think of this as a beautiful story or a story with a happy ending.
Rick Rypien battled mental illness throughout his adult life.
This resulted in a level of suffering that is difficult to comprehend.
There were times when he seemed to have the disease under control. There were times when the monster released him from its grasp.
But, in the end, the disease took his life and all the promise that existed in the young man.
"We thought he'd gotten better because he went out and sought help," said Canucks head coach Alain Vigneault, who was there for the last six years of Rypien's life.
"But you never know. When it comes to this thing, you just never know."
Vigneault is asked if his relationship with Rypien changed the way he looks at the world.
"It's unreal," he said. But this is real. If Rypien's story ended with his death, you could question the meaning of his life.
But this story isn't over. Not by a long shot.
Today, the Vancouver Canucks and the six other Canadian-based teams launch Hockey Talks, a month-long initiative which is designed to raise awareness about mental illness.
There will be video and online messaging. There will be PSAs and the Canucks players will wear decals on their helmets.
This will take place over the month of February and, individually, it might not sound like much. But, collectively, it sends the message that it's OK to talk about mental illness, its OK to ask questions and, most important, it's OK to get help.
During their six years together, Vigneault wasn't sure about a lot of things with Rypien but he was sure of this.
"He really wanted to get better and he really wanted to help people," Vigneault said before Wednesday night's meeting with the Colorado Avalanche. "He felt if he could help anyone else who was in the same situation, he wanted to do that."
Now, almost a year and a half after his death, that's what will happen.
Rypien can't tell his story, but, in the Canucks' locker-room and boardroom, there are people who will tell it for him.
Therein lies its beauty. Maybe that sounds trite, but when you start talking to the members of the organization who were closest to him, you are struck by the affection, the love for Rypien.
Then you begin to understand the impact he had on this team.
Kevin Bieksa was his teammate in Manitoba and Vancouver. He invited Rypien to live with him and his wife Katie about the time their son Cole was born. When Bieksa speaks of Rypien, he says: "He was a part of our family for a couple of years there."
During Rypien's leave of absence from the Canucks, the organization learned he'd been living by himself in his hometown of Coleman, Alta.
That set off alarm bells. After a Canucks game in Edmonton, Bieksa flew to Calgary where he met up with Moose general manager Craig Heisinger and, together, they drove through a snowstorm to talk to Rypien, to haul him out of the dark place in which he'd fallen.
Bieksa did this, not because Rypien was a victim. He did this because he was a friend.
"There were times he was doing really well, and that's when he wanted to help out other people who have this disease," said Bieksa. "We're just trying to carry on his legacy."
When Rypien grabbed a fan in Minnesota in October of 2010, Canucks general manager Mike Gillis and assistant general manager Laurence Gilman accompanied him to New York for the hearing with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman.
Rypien, who'd stopped taking his medication before the incident, would be suspended for six games, but before he passed sentence, Bettman talked to the young player about his life, about his choices, about the importance of staying on his meds.
It was, by all accounts, an extraordinary exchange.
"[Bettman] almost talked to him like a son," said Vigneault.
Now, the hope is the Hockey Talks initiative will be adopted by all 30 NHL teams next season. That's a lot of reach. That's a lot of people who will hear about mental illness, who will hear that it can be treated, who will hear it's OK to get help.
And it all comes back to Rypien and his story. It's quite a story, a story of a kid from Coleman who played the game with passion, who was utterly fearless, who reached hockey's highest level despite fighting a debilitating disease.
It's a story worth telling.

How to Turn Old Mittens Into Dolls Your Kids Will Love
Do your kids always seem to lose one mitten–just one?
Do you have a few old pairs that won't see another cold season?
Are you ready to just throw them all out?
Wait! The trash bin doesn't have to be the final destination of errant mittens.
In this article I'll show you how to turn those orphaned mittens into mitten dolls–an easy craft project that's also a subtle lesson in recycling, math and geography (but we don't need to mention that to the kids!).
Why Reuse Stray Mittens?
Left at school or a friend's house, dropped in the snow, left in the car or on a park bench—such is the fate of many a mitten. I don't know about you, but our family ends up with more than a few single mittens every year.
When you clean out the front closet or mudroom and get ready to shift mittens out and raincoats in, you may be tempted to just throw all those orphaned mittens in the trash.
But what if they could provide hours of fun for your kids (and a fun way to practice some important skills, too)?

BA's new #lookup campaign puts digital billboards equipped with surveillance technology under flight routes in Britain. When a BA plane flies by, the display switches to a child pointing out the plane passing overhead with the flight number and the destination it's arriving from. Infotainment at its best.
The billboards also show other details including that route's lowest fare or the weather in the origin destination. So far, only two have been set up, one at London's famous Piccadilly Circus and one next to Chiswick.
