Windows 7 Ultimate x64
HDD Enclosure intermittently works
I have been using a NDAS NetDisk ND-10 HDD enclosure for a few years now for various media related things and I have had no problems with it. It has a ST31000520AS Barracuda LP SATA 3Gb/s 1TB Hard Drive in it.
Well the other day I hooked it up to my computer, copied a movie then hook it into my BlueRay and the BlueRay detects it but basically freezes it if I try and do anything and the activity light on the USB enclosure is always on. Its has worked many times with the BlurRay with no problems before so the compatibility is already proven. So I hooked it back into my computer and now the same thing happens with my computer where a second ago it was perfectly fine. My computer (with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit) installs the USB mass storage device with no problems, detects the HDD but if I try and do anything with it my computer will stop responding. So I hooked it up into another computer with Windows XP and the same thing happens, so I try a third one (with Windows 7) and again the same thing and I just can't get the HDD to work anymore. All during this time I am trying different USB ports and trying to unistall/install the USB drivers over again but nothing happens and the HDD activity light is always on. This HDD I can use over a network so I tried to hook it up that way and the network NDAS software detects it fine but eventually says the HDD is not responding and crashes. I then took out the HDD and just hooked it up like a regular one and the HDD works perfectly fine and there isn't one problem. I put it back into the enclosure and it starts over with the constant activity light and freezing what it is plugged into.
At this point I'm thinking there is something wrong with the enclosure. I try one last thing and hook it up to my wii (because I can load backup games from it) and go figure the wii works perfectly fine with the HDD. The HDD has one NTFS partition on it so the computers, blueray, and the wii all access the the same NTFS partition but only the wii works with USB enclosure however the HDD itself works fine without the enclosure through a SATA connection.
I'm don't have much experience with USB enclosures so I don't know the sort of problems they can have but I work in an IT field and I am familiar with troubleshooting and various computer problems I just am puzzled with what is going on here and was wondering if anyone had any other ideas I can try for troubleshooting. I'm about ready to throw the enclosure out and just use the HDD in a computer and then transfer whatever media files I want to a fat USB stick for wii/blueray stuff as I need it.

August Rodin was one of the greatest sculptors of the nineteenth century. During his long and prolific career, he was responsible for breaking away from the conventions of French sculpture with his highly realistic and often erotic approach to the human form. With "the Kiss", "the Thinker", and "the Gates of Hell", along with hundreds of other busts, groups, and entwined figures, he discovered new and powerful effects that could be obtained from marble, bronze, sculpture, and plaster. This book explores over sixty of his finest works in beautiful color reproductions. With a comprehensive introduction and expert commentary on the place of each work within the artist's portfolio as well as in relation to the works of Rodin's contemporaries, RODIN makes an excellent tribute to this eternal master. Over 120 beautiful reproductions of Rodin's best work. Expert commentary on the meaning and relevance of Rodin's sculptures

Fuels for Schools and Beyond
How We Can Help
Program History
Our Strategy
back to top
promote and encourage the use of wood biomass as a renewable, natural resource
to provide a clean, readily available energy source suitable for heat and power
generation in Western communities.
facilitate the removal of hazardous fuels from our forests by assisting in the
development of viable commercial uses of removed material.
How We Can Help

provide a great resource for implementing community biomass energy projects
through technical and financial assistance.
program staff can assist you with:

the FFS&B program beginnings in 2003, we continue to expand our knowledge
and experience and we have become part of an ever-growing network of skilled
and knowledgeable partners in woody biomass energy. Among them are natural resource managers and
foresters, fuel suppliers, economic development agencies, energy service
companies, architects, engineers, contractors, technical consultants,
environmental quality departments, boiler manufacturers, boiler operators,
facility managers, school boards, communities, as well as energy and forest
policy experts at regional and national levels.
It is with the collective knowledge, expertise and collaboration of
these diverse partners that we continue to strive to make woody biomass energy
work for communities and forests.

Program History back to top
The Fuels for
Schools and Beyond program is a partnership between the USDA Forest Service's
State & Private Forestry Division, participating state coordinators, and the Bitter Root Resource
Conservation and Development (RC&D) Area, Inc., to promote and facilitate
the use of forest biomass waste for heating, cooling and power in public and
private buildings.
The Fuels for
Schools Initiative came out of directives from the National Fire Plan of 2001
which included specific grant dollars under Economic Action Programs (under
USDA Forest Service State and Private Forestry) for pilot projects to
demonstrate new uses of small diameter and underutilized woody material, as
well as projects using proven technologies to use such material. The intent of
this focused funding was to develop new markets for woody material that has
historically been considered waste, so that the substantial cost of thinning
hazardous fuels, which generates little in the way of what is traditionally considered "commercial" timber, could be
partially offset by the economic value of "non-commercial" biomass.
A match is made: After the wildfires in the summer of 2000, which burned over 350,000 acres
and 70 structures in the Bitterroot Valley of Montana, a resident of Darby, Montana
began to research ways in which to tie fire hazard reduction work with economic
development in the valley. He discovered that waste wood was being used to heat
a number of schools in the northeastern U.S., and approached community leaders
with the idea of using slash (tree limbs, tops and branches) from hazardous
fuels reduction projects for heat in Darby's schools. With the aid of a grant
from the Economic Action Program and assistance from the Bitter Root RC&D,
USDA Forest Service Forest Products Laboratory and the Biomass Energy Resource
Center, a biomass boiler system was planned, designed and installed at Darby
and began heating their three schools in the fall of 2003.
The program is born: Through this process, State & Private Forestry personnel in the
Northern and Intermountain Regions of the USDA Forest Service decided to focus
their Economic Action Program funding on the Fuels for Schools Initiative. They announced this strategy in June of 2004
to expand the concept of biomass heat using fuels reduction waste to other
schools throughout the Northern and Intermountain Regions.
Our Strategy back to top
The strategy of
the FFS Initiative entails a three phase process. The first phase involved establishing a
demonstration project in each of the region's states. Phase two involved expansion of the concept
and facilitating the installation of additional biomass boilers. There are currently currently over 25 small community-scale biomass boilers
operating throughout the western states. While
continuing to provide support to projects, the program is now in its
third phase of transitioning out of the role as primary funder
and seeking to promote the "wood to energy" concept to the private sector.
Maintaining a
strong role in technical assistance, the Fuels for Schools and Beyond partners and staff provide a great resource for
implementing community biomass projects.
Our assistance includes helping those in the private and public sectors
through knowledge sharing, information dissemination, identifying potential
financing opportunities, supply assessment, and overall support and assistance
as needed. We continue to work in
collaboration with all of our partners on improving efficiencies of supply
infrastructure, advancing local and national policies in biomass utilization,
and ensuring the viability of the nation's forests and communities.

Black Rock Shooter: The Game
I'm having a really hard time trying to classify Black Rock Shooter. The game plays like a third person shooter, but also has a lot of RPG elements. The previous sentence may scream Mass Effect, but it is incredibly far from it.
The game was developed by Imageepoch, more well known for the Luminous Arc series on DS and Arc Rise of Fantasia for the Wii. It was originally released in Japan in 2011, but finally made its way west to North America in April of this year. Despite the fact that I had never heard of the Black Rock Shooter game or anime counterpart, everything about the game is extremely well done.
Black Rock Shooter (which I will call BRS from here on out) takes place in the year 2051, but begins nineteen years earlier in 2032. Earth ends up under attack by an alien force and turns the entire planet into a battlefield. There are only twelve humans left alive, and they wake up Black Rock Shooter (BRS is also the name of the main character) to help battle the aliens and take the planet back.
The game takes place in several major cities across the globe, and even features an entire stage taking place on the moon. Each level is very distinct from the other. For example, the first stage takes place in San Francisco and features main roads, and destroyed skyscrapers. It had a very "warzone" feel to it. One of the stages from the middle of the game was Moscow, and the city seemed decimated and covered in snow. I really appreciated the amount of thought put into differentiating all of the stages and making each one feel unique from the others.
BRS was developed for the PSP and while it does has graphical limitations, it was anything but ugly. Several cutscenes were fully animated, and the vibrant colors of the characters stood out well in the environments. Each special attack had a quick animation and each ability was completely different from the others.
While roaming around areas, when BRS would stumble upon an enemy it would take you into an arena of sorts where you would end up battling a few enemies. Black Rock Shooter's gameplay is extremely simple but something I haven't seen before. The square button was to attack, but pressing the circle button she would dodge in a direction away from the enemies. Since she was otherwise stationary, timing was key and enemies would give away when they were about to attack with a quick shimmer. As with traditional RPG's, defeating enemies would gain experience and leveling up would increase HP and attack power.
Each area has a list of challenges to complete as well, and these challenges are how the player gains new abilities. The challenges are fairly varied, and other than abilities can also reward players with HP boosts, defense boosts, or attack boosts. Completing them is really vital to your success in later missions because when enemies start getting stronger, special attacks can be crucial.
After clearing a stage, players can replay the level in hunt mode. Hunt mode is basically a combination of all the levels with the main boss at the end, smashed into one stage.
A worthy note as one of my favorite parts of the game are the areas that put you in charge of guiding BRS on her motorcycle. She doesn't have any basic attacks on the bike, but dodging when you are right next to an enemy defeats it, and after five enemies are killed you get a special chain gun attack that shoots in front of you for about five seconds. These levels were fairly tense, and one of the more exciting aspects in the game.
All in all, I was really impressed by the work Imageepoch put into Black Rock Shooter. After playing through this game I fully intend to check out the anime it was based off of.

Extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy (ESWL) is a procedure that uses high-energy shock waves to break down kidney stones into crystals small enough to be passed out in your urine.
You will meet the doctor carrying out your procedure to discuss your care. It may differ from what is described here as it will be designed to meet your individual needs.
ESWL is a procedure used to break down kidney stones.
Kidney stones are small, hard stones that can form in one or both of your kidneys. They can form if there is an imbalance of salts or minerals in your urine. Sometimes, a stone may move out of your kidney into the ureter – the tube that carries urine from your kidneys to the bladder – and cause severe pain, called renal or kidney colic.
Often, stones are small enough to pass harmlessly out of your body in the urine by themselves. But if your kidney stone can't be passed out in your urine, your doctor may advise you to have ESWL.
Depending on the size, density and position of your kidney stone, your doctor may recommend alternative treatment options.
Your doctor will explain how to prepare for your procedure.
ESWL is routinely done as an outpatient or day-case procedure, without the need for anaesthesia. This means you will be awake during the procedure and can go home the same day. You will usually be offered a sedative to relieve anxiety and help you relax, and an injection of painkiller.
You can drink fluids as normal on the day of your procedure. But don't eat any food in the four hours before your treatment.
If you are on regular medication (eg, tablets for blood pressure), continue to take this as usual unless your doctor specifically tells you not to. If you're unsure about taking your medication, contact the hospital.
At the hospital, your nurse will check your heart rate and blood pressure, and test your urine.
Your doctor or radiographer will discuss with you what will happen before, during and after your procedure, and any pain you might have. This is your opportunity to understand what will happen, and you can help yourself by preparing questions to ask about the risks, benefits and any alternatives to the procedure. This will help you to be informed, so you can give your consent for the procedure to go ahead, which you may be asked to do by signing a consent form.
ESWL takes about 30 to 60 minutes. Usually only one kidney is treated per session.
You will be asked to lie on your front. You may be offered headphones to wear, as the machine can sometimes be loud. The technician or nurse carrying out the procedure will use ultrasound to pinpoint the exact position of your kidney stone(s). He or she will apply a gel to your skin, and then use a device called a lithotripter sensor to direct shock waves onto each stone. The intensity of the shock waves will be increased gradually. Try not to make any movements during the treatment, otherwise the kidney stone may move out of position.
The shock waves can cause pain in your kidneys and a stinging pain in the skin on your back.
Depending on how many kidney stones you have, you may need to have more than one treatment to completely get rid of your stones.
You will need pain relief to help with any discomfort. Your doctor will usually prescribe strong painkillers for the first 48 hours, and he or she may also give you antibiotics to reduce the risk of infection.
Your nurse will give you a date for a follow-up appointment and ask you to pass urine before you go home.
Sedation temporarily affects your co-ordination and reasoning skills, so you must not drive, drink alcohol, operate machinery or sign legal documents for 24 hours afterwards. If you're in any doubt about driving, contact your motor insurer so that you're aware of their recommendations, and always follow your doctor's advice.
Once home, it's sensible to take it easy for the rest of the day. Most people feel able to resume normal activities within a couple of days. You should make sure you're drinking enough water in the first 24 hours, to help flush the kidney stone fragments out of your urinary system.
You will feel some pain and discomfort as the stone fragments move out of your kidneys. Continue to take your painkillers as directed by your doctor. Always read the patient information that comes with your medicine and if you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice.
As with every procedure, there are some risks associated with ESWL. We have not included the chance of these happening as they are specific to you and differ for every person. Ask your doctor to explain how these risks apply to you.
Side-effects are the unwanted but mostly temporary effects you may get after having the procedure.
Side-effects of ESWL include:
Complications are when problems occur during or after the treatment. Most people are not affected.
Specific complications of ESWL are uncommon, but include:
Contact your GP straight away if you develop sudden spasms of pain (renal colic); or any of the following symptoms, which may be a sign of infection.

It's already early evening when the gravel of the short driveway to Villa Barberina crackles under the car tires. A quick introduction and when the first Prosecco cork pops, the ice is broken and the conversation with Annalisa Franco, the villa's owner and my gracious host, flows naturally. Mrs. Franco has something of a silvery vibrancy that is also reflected in the beautiful and welcoming Palladian villa she purchased with her husband more than a decade ago. In "Tinker Bell fashion," Mrs. Franco flies around the house and with a gentle touch of her magic wand, makes the house function and suddenly come to life with a multitude of stories.
To be fair, part of the harmonic ensemble belongs to the villa itself. Palladian-style villas are much more than a mere architectural style. They are the expression of a way of life centered about being together in a joyful way. For the most part, they were summer escapes for the Venetian aristocracy and the wealthy. Here they took their families and friends during the hot summer months to live and entertain while at the same time managing their business affairs, including those of land ownership and agricultural production.
Inspired by the classics and enlightened by visionary innovation, Palladio created a style that supported these requirements, while at the same time blending harmoniously with the land. There is an intrinsic feng shui in Palladian architecture that makes these homes very livable and very lovable. It is not by accident that the style became so popular and spread so successfully in the Veneto and elsewhere. In the US, it is sufficient to look at buildings such as Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the Morris-Jumel Mansion in New York City or, quite simply, the White House itself.
The sitting room is warm and cozy, and the Prosecco bubbles are light and lively as they spiral up towards the surface of the glass. Prosecco is native here; in fact, Villa Barberina is in Valdobbiadene, in the foothills of the Alps, right where Prosecco was born. Its creation was an act of genius on the part of Carpene' Malvolti who developed the process for making this delightful, bubbly wine. Mrs. Franco tells me all about the fine art of Prosecco-making since they own the prestigious Nino Franco Winery. Started in 1919, they are now in the 4th generation and their Prosecco is considered among the very best.
We decide to postpone the villa visit to the next morning, shifting our attention to the beautiful kitchen where we "conspire" in creating an excellent tray of lasagne with asparagus for dinner. As a side dish, a simple – yet delectable – tomato salad, given that the tomatoes are the "one and only" Cuore di Bue variety (it means "Bull's Heart"). Perfectly ripe, meaty and virtually seedless, we serve them after the tasty lasagne with only a sprinkle of salt and a delicate, golden string of local extra virgin olive oil on top. They melt in our mouth, releasing the taste of that perfect marriage between the sun's rays and the fertile soil. Ah! … there's nothing like the complex perfection of simplicity!
It's time to sleep and I welcome the large, comfortable bed with its Frette sheets and – I can't help noticing – the rarity of a wool mattress. Forget about those overpriced, oil-made memory foams! This is the real thing, welcoming like no other. I glide into dreams with memories of my grandmother's bed and the comfy sleepovers at her place.
The next day, the air is clean and crisp, after a night rain. The morning light that streams through the windows is filtered through floating curtains and seems to summon the villa to reveal all of its charms. The wood floors scattered with Oriental rugs and the pastel-colored walls set a tone of elegance that is further enhanced by the antique furniture, bookshelves full of volumes, collections of ceramics and the original oil paintings.
The bathrooms are state-of-the-art with their contemporary faucets, showers and sinks. The bathtubs, however, are the original ones, preserved by an attentive renovation. All over, there are collections of objects of interest: newspapers from the early 20th-century, table boxes of various materials, fantastic but unassuming light switches in every room. As ever, "the devil is in the details"…
As I walk through bedrooms and hallways, bathrooms and sitting rooms, I can't help but envision bringing friends here for a few days, or organizing a family reunion. What a perfect solution to stay all together in such a home, respectful of space and privacy, yet communal and convivial. And the area is so rich in potential — it offers visits to celebrated art cities (Venice, Verona, Vicenza, Padua to name a few), as well as exciting food and wine itineraries (the Prosecco Road and the area's many spectacular restaurants and cooking schools). Bikers and hikers will find paradise in both the plains and the pre-Alpine climbs, while savvy shoppers will soon find out how close they are to the factories of famous brands like Geox shoes and Belstaff jackets, to name just two.
A discreet, yet warm, sense of hospitality permeates the region and this beautiful home. For those of you who hear the message and catch the wavelength: Villa Barberina and Nino Franco wines are names to cherish.

This argument by Bejtlich really makes me angry and it's representative of
the way that we seem to deal with cyber attribution out in the open. There
are a lot of gaps in the APT1 report that make those not "in the know"
question the results. In my opinion, that kind of questioning is deserved.
Fwiw.. Marco Slaviero (marco () thinkst com) wrote up a snippet on our
blog (and for our ThinkstScapes service) at the time highlighting some
of those gaps and listed data that could have been used to help
support the argument
The Mandiant APT1 report that was released a week ago has been causing
some consternation, which makes it a ripe topic for our ThinkstScapes
service. This morning, we issued an ad-hoc update to our customers
containing our views of the APT1 report. In short, the data is
interesting, but does not conclusively point to Unit 61938. There are
too many open questions to justify the finger pointing.
Take, for example, the markers released for the APT1 group. The report
does not contain sufficient data to replicate the grouping of
attackers bearing those markers into a single cohesive unit. By
Mandiant's own admission the presence of a single marker is
insufficient to tag an attacker as APT1, but thresholds are not
provided for the number of markers required. In the end, it appears as
if the classification boils down to an analyst's opinion, metrics are
absent the public report. The entire report is founded on the notion
that APT1 exists and is definable; should this not be the case, the
report's raison d'être evaporates. Corroboration is needed in the form
of convincing evidence.
In addition, the conclusion that blames hacks supposedly originating
from an area the size of Los Angeles on a military unit's building in
same area is weak. In this regard, the press' use of the word
"neighbourhood" to describe Pudong is misleading. Today's ad-hoc
update examines these and other issues in greater detail, and extracts
the bits we believe matter for corporates.
To be clear, we do not defend China or absolve it from hacking or
espionage; we have little doubt that it conducts such operations as,
presumably, do the US and other sufficiently resourced nations. Permit
me to repeat this: we are not saying the Chinese government does not
hack the US. Our concern is with this specific report; it is the first
concrete public attribution of ongoing espionage against the US, and,
if the report sets the standard for attribution, future events will be
highly muddled as competing hypotheses all meet the low standard set
out in Mandiant's APT1 report. Unfortunately it seems that contrary
opinions are being subjected to a level of diatribe usually reserved
for arguments of faith, not facts.
Part of the problem is that there is appears to be an information
differential, in which a number of folks with apparent non-public
information are saying "it's totally legitimate", while those without
the information are saying "this does not follow". Mandiant can help
the APT1 debate by releasing more data to reduce this differential,
- Is there further evidence that ties the subset of observed IP ranges
to the Unit 61398 Pudong building apart from a WHOIS record? (Note
that the fibre infrastructure was provided by a different company than
the listed owner of the IP ranges.)
- The number of attacks that would be classified as APT1, except for
the fact that their sink address (e.g. HTRAN receiver) was NOT in
Shanghai. What is the method for arriving at this conclusion? Phrased
differently, how much weighting does a Shanghai IP address have in the
APT1 cluster?
- A timestamped listing of known APT1 connections with their
associated IP addresses, which would show us the activity levels of
- Metrics showing how many of the APT1 markers are shared with other
groups under observation, and to what degree? (i.e. what is the
overlap of domains, address blocks and malware hashes across the
various groups?)
- How many more profiles of APT1 members were discovered, and what
confidence does Mandiant hold in them? It seems strange that such a
large group with such poor opsec has not leaked many more profiles.
- What is the mapping between APT1-associated domain names and IP
addresses at the time of observation?
- What confidence level is assigned to the APT1⇿Unit 61938 link claim?
- By what reasoning does Mandiant eliminate an explanation for the
attack pattern that argues for small non-government teams operating in
a loosely connected fashion rather than a cohesive and directed group
of operators with a common approach?
These debates are important going forward. Putting aside patriotism
and pride, there are important questions which remain to be asked
about the attribution of online attacks, and the danger in jumping to
conclusions is that, when the shoe is on the other foot, equally weak
claims are possible by an opponent. Hopefully any forthcoming
additional data will settle these questions and we can get back to our
regularly scheduled navel-gazing.

The Life of Henry Brulard

The Life of Henry Brulard, unfinished autobiography by Stendhal, which he began writing in November 1835 and abandoned in March 1836. The scribbled manuscript, including the author's sketches and diagrams, was deciphered and published as Vie de Henry Brulard in 1890, 48 years after its author's death. The work is a masterpiece of ironic self-searching and self-creation, in which the memories of childhood are closely interwoven with the liberating joy of writing.

Working in a shared space - in a café or a rented-by-the-hour office - is nothing new, but sometimes a concept pops up that is worth a second look. Now into its third week of life, Joint Café + Workspace in Bangkok stands
out in its whiteness.
We will not speculate on what it will look like after a few months of coffee spills and foot traffic, but for now, it appears inviting like a new notebook, all ready to be filled with people, ideas and inspiration. The space, designed by Thailand's 56th Studio, is located on the 12th floor of the Asia Hotel's car park building.
The space is flexible and can be rented in various configurations for workshops, lessons or meetings. Joint Café + Workspace looks more like an office and less like a café, which may make it a unique proposition in that it will not become a coffee shop where people hang out for hours working on their laptops and tablets over one cup of coffee. - Tuija Seipell.
We are now officially suffering from office envy and the object of our feelings is located in Poland, in a former cable factory in Zabłocie, a post-industrial district in Kraków. It was designed for the web technology consulting firm u2i by architect and urban planner Justyna Friedberg of Kraków-based Morpho Studio.
The obvious breathing room – so often lacking in offices – is clearly evident here. White, ash wood, natural light. Somehow we can imagine thoughts flying freer in a space like this, with this much openness and light.
The real gem of the 800 square-meter (8,611 sq.ft.) office, and the part we covet the most, is the central indoor porch, or chill zone, with its swing and potted plants. A simple, fresh idea, beautifully executed.
We suspect that herbs and favourite flowers will be grown here by the team, and that it will turn out to be not just a passive space with the surroundings fitted and provided by someone else, but that it actually will live as a real porch or garden where people can putter around and exercise their green thumbs. Or just chill in the swing.
With this open porch, the basic, large, rectangular space has become more of an environment and less of a set of offices. And what we like most is that the porch does not have the omnipresent sad pool tables or soft-drink dispensers that still seem to denote "cool office" to some. - Tuija Seipell.
Do you really think there is an interior environment that wouldn't be made more beautiful, more tranquil, more cool with the addition of a peaceful image of ocean scenery?
We don't think so. Without a doubt, the cure for the visual noise and image overload in our lives comes in the form of a stunning photograph by Luke Shadbolt of the central coast of NSW in Australia.
The picture seem like an oil painting, but it is in reality an expertly composed photograph.
Imagine a quiet beach, a soft morning breeze on your skin, the scent of the ocean, the sound of the soft waves. This image will transport you to your favourite seaside places as they expand and calm down any interior with its serene atmosphere and gorgeous colours. Now, just take a deep breath and relax.

In March 2014, Particia Derks's work turned heads at TCH - The Art Hunter experience in Sydney. The penetrating eyes, arresting colours and the sheer size of her original portraiture paintings are all attention-grabbers in hemselves. Combine the three and you'd have to be dead to not stop and notice.
We have selected two of the Netherlands-based artist's original works. Both paintings are head-and-shoulders images of a female, executed in muted pastel colours with striking, strong eyes and bright-coloured lips. The images are direct, somewhat aggressive but at the same time, there's a sense of sadness and secrecy – there's room for us viewers to make up our own minds about what the subject is feeling and why.
A great piece of art does that – it leaves enough undefined, so that we can come back again and again, day after day, and find our thoughts shifting once more.
We love these eerie portraits created by interactive artist and technical director, Mike Pelletier and available exlusively on our online store.
For many years, Pelletier has been researching and experimenting with methods of creating multidimensional portraits. Using his research in thermal imaging and MRI scanners as a technological basis and as inspiration, he started using Microsoft's motion-sensing Xbox device, Kinect, to create cool artwork with a strong, edgy look.
Pelletier's 3D images made of a sitting subject appear to be pictures of a metallic sculpture, strangely alive yet scarily cold at the same time. An updated C-3PO with a beating heart, perhaps?
Pelletier has participated in exhibitions and festivals around the world including the Netherlands, Canada, Finland, Spain, UK, US and Australia.
He is originally from Saskatchewan, Canada, and works currently at Random Studio in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. - Tuija Seipell
These designs are printed on metallic paper and mounted behind perspex for a dazzling and bold look. They can be wall mounted or free standing.
Flamingo Shanghai's swanky new office, The Attic, is a grand example of how the intelligent use of scale and natural light, and the minimalist approach to materials can create cohesive unity that looks both fresh and imbued with patina.
Shanghai-based Neri&Hu effected their special brand of design philosophy on this cavernous industrial 620 square-meter (6673 sq.ft.) attic, and created a dark-hued and angular open-concept office for the creative agency. The attic includes offices, conference space, exhibit space, observation areas, quiet room and kitchen.
The hard materials and cold surfaces project efficiency and focus. We assume that the natural light through the large skylight windows, together with the presence of people, will balance those aspects with softness and creative life energy.
Husband-and-wife duo, Lyndon Neri and Rossana Hu established their own design and architecture practice Neri&Hu in Shanghai in 2004 after having moved to China two years earlier to work with Michael Graves. The Philippines-born Neri (b. 1965) has architecture degrees from Harvard and the University of California at Berkeley. Taiwan-born Hu (b. 1968) was trained at Princeton. - Tuija Seipell.
Swedish restaurateurs Magnus Ek and Agneta Green started their entrepreneurial careers in 1994 as they rented the small Oaxen Skärgårdskrog restaurant in Stockholm's archipelago. They taught themselves the ins and outs of wine, food and fresh ingredients, eventually bought the restaurant and started to gain a steady reputation.
But the Swedish winters being what they are, the archipelago location was open only part of the year. Forward the clock from that to last year, and the grand opening of Oaxen Krog & Slip, their brand new corrugated-metal framed and so beautifully aged twin establishments, right at the old shipyards on the island of Djurgården in Stockholm's city centre.
Designed and lovingly outfitted with repurposed, antique and retro furnishings and materials by architect Mats Fahlander and architect-designer Agneta Pettersson, the restaurants have already gained several prestigious Swedish awards in business, design and food categories.
These include Stockholm's Restaurant of the Year 2014 recognition for Slip by the Swedish city entertainment guide Nöjesguiden, and Oaxen Krog's awarded of Business Restaurant of the Year 2014 by the financial newspaper Dagens Industri. Oaxen Krog has already one Michelin star and Slip has won the Michelin Bib Gourmand-award.
Krog is more of a dining room and Slip a bistro. Our absolute favourites in Slip are the lovely finds dating back to fairly recent Swedish history – the wooden 1905-built craft in the ceiling and the single scull from 1920s. The old Swedish school desks, theatre-seating and repurposed tableware create a uniquely welcoming and familiar feeling.
Oaxen Krog is a bit more formal but seats only 35 and therefore retains an intimate atmosphere. Slatted oak covers the walls and ceiling , and the chairs dating back to the 1950 but still in production by the Swedish Wigells surround the tables custom-crafted by shipyard carpenters. As e the smart city set dines on organic fare, we think we can hear some Swedish Old Salty in his blond beard and blue eyes singing a melancholy song or two about the rough-but-oh-so-wholesome life on the cold shores of Sweden. - Tuija Seipell.

The Isolator helmet, 1920s
The Isolator was designed to help focus the mind, particularly when reading and writing (literacy is hard work!). The helmet not only eliminated all outside noise, limited sight to just one line of text at a time, but it also pumped in oxygen. From the looks of it, the contraption would also assist in limiting hyperactivity by limiting movement, or, between weight and limited visibility, it would at least slow you down.
(I think I need one!)

Wow, Hollywood has NO originality left. Havent they remade almost everything? What a joke the industry has become. I suppose when the same people are there doing the same things you will keep getting the same results. hey Hollywood! How's this for an idea! FIND NEW PEOPLE/WRITERS/TALENT! Quit being a bunch of circle-jerks patting each other on the butts and holding hands. Be brave and original…like OLD Hollywood was. You are a lame duck now, I wouldnt watch another one of your crappy REmakes IF YOU PAID ME!
Unfortunately film making has become about CGI and big (too big) explosions. I'll take the original Red Dawn.
the original red dawn was quite startling in its time as the tactics employed the resistance foreshadowed actual approaches used by the mujahadeen resistance to soviet occupation in afghanistan; in particular, the use of rpg's (or stingers) to neutralize helicopter gunships. as a story, red dawn avoid triviality by humanizing the cuban colonel fighting the resistance. the remake, however, will likely take a more re-tread, conventional route.
And the limp-wristed Hollywood leftist pansies change this from a believable Chinese invasion to a North Korean invasion? Idiots libtards!
two years after completing they change the country? This looks horrible. the original had spirit, this looks to have cgi. If you change everything that made it good change the name also.
You have got to be kidding me. North Koreans?
Hollywood has been going down the tubes for a long time, but this is a new low. No wonder no one goes to see modern movies anymore.
I did happen to see a screening of "Total Recall" (only because I got free tickets) last week. My conclusion is that it wasn't nearly as good as the first. "Red Dawn" also does not look as good as the original.
How low has Hollywood sunk, where their "best" material can't live up to the original "Total Recall" and "Red Dawn"? That's not exactly a high bar to surpass.
It is a movie intended to entertain and that it will . Some people take things way too seriously. The generation to which this is marketed has never even seen the original and they will no doubt be entertained. Patrick who ?
Got news for all of you that think this is just another movie… think back to when the original movie got released… it was near the end of the Cold War… a war that opposed communist rule. The original movie was released after it was commissioned by the US Government in order to increase opposition in the US against the Soviets so that we would look the other way, and feel better about going to war against the Soviets if it ended up that way… Fast forward to the present, and what communist county is the US trying to talk into getting rid of their nuclear weapons??? North Korea… So, once again the US government is using cinema to try and bolster US opposition against the North Koreans if they decide not to get rid of their nuclear weapons. Don't kid yourself folks… the reason this movie has been out of production for three years and not released until now is because the US government wanted it that way… Now don't get me wrong… I want to see the nuclear weapons gone to, but the purpose of this film isn't "entertainment"… it's recruitment! Any thoughts?
The original can never be topped. This new version MAY be entertaining, but it is a complete cop-out! North Korea? They can't wipe their own behinds with both hands! Should have used China: They would watch it even if they didn't like it. Just like too many Americans.
Gay, another remake, nothing original…..i hate this generation
and principle photography began
my principAL is my PAL
A movie making heroes of unlawful combatants. These kids should wind up in Guantanamo.
Unlike the terms "combatant", "prisoner of war", and "civilian", the term "unlawful combatant" is not mentioned in either the Hague or the Geneva Conventions. So while the former terms are well understood and clear under international law, the term "unlawful combatant" is not.

Quick Holiday Cocktail Recipe: Pomegranate Gin Fizz
The 10-Minute Happy Hour
This time of year I do love the heavier, spicy, whiskey-based cocktails. But if we all go hardcore comfort food and heavy hitter cocktails, we'll be in a food-and-drink coma before Christmas gets here! For many of us, we've got a long winter ahead, and while it's dark at 5 o'clock, there's no need to hibernate already.
The idea for the 10-Minute Happy Hour was born of lack of time and need of good drink. This week's cocktail fits that description perfectly — and it's seasonally apropos!
Philly's Hippest Cocktail Recipe: The Broad & Catherine Cocktail

A friend of mine recently dined at Tashan, this killer upscale Indian spot in Philadelphia, and she said I must go and order a particular whiskey cocktail. She described it as an Indian Old-Fashioned. So I ventured downtown only to find that the cocktail my friend thought she was describing was something else entirely.
Halloween Cocktail Recipe: The Bloody Manhattan

Don't feel like drinking your candy corns or sipping on a snickers bar? Me either, so this Halloween, I gave one of my favorite cocktails a holiday makeover that makes drinking something spooky a little easier to swallow. If you still have a Halloween party or two in your weekend plans, make sure this cocktail is on the menu.

Lately we've been waxing poetic about hot toddies, camping cocktails and slow cooking batches of comfort food.

Some happy hours, like this week's, aren't conducted in a standard bar or kitchen. Here in the northeast, the fall foliage is at its peak. It sounds geeky but truly, the images are of the kind that inspire great artists, poets and philosophers. Seeking an infusion of inspiration and some fresh air, my family packed up our gear — including some suitable fall libations — and hit the trail for a weekend in the wilderness.

Every week I write the 10-Minute Happy Hour to allow each of us permission to make a moment. No overly involved dinner party or stress-filled gatherings touted here. Just 10 minutes and you get to take a beat and toast the week behind or the weekend to come. Following suit, the newly released book Storied Sips, page after page, highlights how a simple cocktail can "strip away the mundane, gild an evening ... and add a little flair." It's a perfect book for you to enjoy with this week's cocktail, and a must-read for drink-lovers.

Before last week, I may have thought convincing a non-Cognac drinker to choose a Cognac-based cocktail for happy hour to be a difficult task. Au contraire, mon frère! A recent visit to Courvoisier poured up a perfect fall drink that leaves even skeptics thirsty for more. This week's happy hour has a rich French flair you can enjoy right at home.
