Flame Malware Details Surface, Point to More Viruses
Almost four months after Kaspersky Lab uncovered the massively distributed Flame malware strain, the researchers have released new information about the security threat, which reportedly dates back to 2006.
Kaspersky, in conjunction with the International Telecommunication Union's IMPACT Alliance, CERT-Bund/BSI, and Symantec, studied a number of Command and Control (C&C) servers used by Flame's creators, leading to the discovery of three malicious programs still running wild.
Analysis of the scripts used to handle data uploaded from infected machines revealed four communication protocols, Kaspersky Lab said, and only one was compatible with Flame. That means that at least three other types of malware are being run by the same C&C servers and at least one Flame-related virus is still operating.

TEA & TWO SLICES | On NIMBYs Whining, Rezoning Shaughnessy, And Cleaning Birds
October 20, 2014
by Sean Orr | Our puritanical past future? Candidate for Burnaby mayor promises to ban kissing, holding hands in public. "Perhaps I don't know what I'm talking about, but once I'm getting in I have to figure it out…" Sounds like she's already a seasoned politician! Best comment: "Our Grandfathers fought for us to have this freedom…" Yes, our grandfathers fought the Nazis so we could hold hands. That was pretty much it.
Oh, and they also fought so our children could wear sexy Halloween costumes: 'Sexy' Halloween kids costumes at Value Village anger mom. Almost as disturbing are the weird, free market mantras littering the story's comment section, a la "if parents didn't buy these costumes they wouldn't exist".
Only 3% of Vancouver residents think they have reasonable rents or mortgages. We love Vancouver and are willing to pay through the nose to live here…er…we just don't want to pay through the nose to live here…
Related: B.C. builds lots of housing. But you can't afford any of it. "But how about rezoning Shaughnessy, where the average density is one-third that of Grandview-Woodlands?" Because Shaughnessy, that's why.
I just worry that our Most City status will be affected: Vancouver ranked the most city in the world.
Never forget! This was actually the lede in one of our major daily newspapers: Heads up, guys: Those trendy man buns can cause the loss of your precious hair. Speaking of heads, that is the exact location I would prefer to be shot after reading that.
Related: Angry Yoga. "And discover the present moment, and don't think about this town…"
And definitely don't think about this: Vancouver residents speak out against homeless shelter. "Residents in the area say they're going to fight what they see as a plan that transplants the Downtown Eastside to their neighbourhood". We demand social mix in the DTES, but god forbid there be social mix in the rest of the city.
To borrow from Mark Twain: "Suppose you were an idiot, and suppose you complained about homeless shelters; but I repeat myself."
Obviously, other jurisdictions in the Lower Mainland need to step up: Surrey soup kitchen shut down on Thanksgiving. Yeah, because if you just stop feeding the homeless then homelessness will disappear.
Meanwhile, as Burnaby takes the National Energy Board to court, Kirk LaPointe wraps his lips around their, um, pipe: NPA pushes for LNG jobs in Vancouver. What jobs? Bird cleaners?
Meanwhile, Kinder Morgan questions how much B.C. First Nation still eats fish. Or, how much do you really enjoy that Starbucks latte, Terri-Lee? Because I'm about to take a dump in it…
The real drug pushers: Safeway, London Drugs and other pharmacy chains threaten legal action if cigarette sales banned.
The bubble has popped: Canucks say their sellout streak is over. One. Single. Tear.
TEA & TWO SLICES | On Flipping Houses & Always Believing The Person In Dreadlocks
October 14, 2014
by Sean Orr | Hooray! Vancouver wins injunction to evict homeless campers from Oppenheimer Park. So now they can go back to sleeping on benches and under bridges!
Update: VPD to wear body cameras when ensuring campers clear out of Oppenheimer Park. Let's hope they have a livestream…
Dichotomy City: Vancouver's real estate boom: The rising price of 'heaven'. "The house prices are perfect…" As cringeworthy as that sounds, it's nice to see some honesty from the rich.
Flipping the paradigm: OneCity proposes house-flipping levy in Vancouver. Just don't tell these guys…The Flipping Formula team is on its way.
Which leads to the Tweet of the Day:
Affordability proposals for #vanpoli so far: 1. @COPEVancouver: Vacancy tax 2. @OneCityVan: Flipping levy 3. @VisionVancouver: Swim lessons!
— Michal Rozworski (@michalrozworski) October 10, 2014
To be fair however, the NPA's affordable housing platform doesn't mention renters once.
But hey, free parking, right? Promises, promises — main Vancouver parties ramp up their civic election campaigns. In a city that is next to impossible to find parking in, what difference does it make if it's free?
From my cold, oily fingers: Kinder Morgan TV ads attacked as influencing city elections in BC. She obviously cares about the environment because she has dreadlocks.
RED ALERT: Guy at Fraser Institute is pretty sure he just debunked climate change science. Press Progress is my new favourite website.
Not a Nathan For You gag: Shell brings back 1984 gas prices to celebrate anniversary. You really have to admire this brilliant piece of participatory propaganda.
From the people that brought you the Hump Day Hottie: Vancouver men, please stop harassing women. Written by… a Vancouver man. I mention this because a woman on my Facebook says the exact opposite, and that complimenting a woman is not harassment. Vancouver is uptight enough as it is, we don't need another reason to not interact with each other.
Also, it's obvious that you should be handsome, be attractive, and don't be unattractive.
Meanwhile, Four white Sun TV panelists explain white privilege to guy who isn't white.
Bonus: RBC Branch On Fire Painting Likely Won't Win RBC Contest. Genius.
TEA & TWO SLICES | On Dodging Debates And Smartass Vikings Being Mean To Jesus
October 8, 2014
by Sean Orr | Oh look, the people we elected to go and sit in a house decided they would actually go and do that: B.C. Legislature to begin rare fall sitting on Monday. What are we supposed to do, throw a fucking parade for them? I mean, in the words of David Cross… "I don't cream myself when the guy at McDonalds gets my order right…"
Ante up: Christy Clark's No Pro at LNG Poker. Just because she said LNG will be a windfall for BC in order to get elected doesn't mean she actually meant it. I mean, Jeez. Stop taking everything so literally, Bill.
Where in Vancouver is Gregor Robertson? Opponents slam 'transparent' mayor for dodging debate. He's so transparent that he's disappeared, get it?! But seriously though, this is a stupid article and a non-starter of an issue. There are real issues, to be sure, but not showing up to a debate sponsored by the NPA's biggest donor isn't one of them.
That being said, maybe we'd see him better if he wore one of these: Should Politicians Wear Uniforms Like NASCAR racers?
More bad optics: Voter suppression on Vancouver's East Side in lead-up to November 2014 election? Again, a total oversight. But comparing it to voter suppression by the Republicans? Come on now…
Youth tired of being "tokenized" in Vancouver municipal elections: COPE board member. Those youth! They really put the toke in tokenized, eh? Eh? Oh shit, I just tokenized them, didn't I?
Dog bites dogma: Trinity Western grad 'attacked' for being Christian in job rejection. "I signed it God Bless probably partially because I knew it would irritate them…" Way to take the high road there. "If I met God I'd have sex with him…" Wow…I think I have a new hero!
I'm not sure why I decided to put this next link here: Dragon Boat Society canoes destroyed in early morning fire.
Bonus: Here's how Mish Way 'lost' her virginity. Spoiler: who cares?
TEA & TWO SLICES | On Snortside Stabfests And Taxis' Exhausted Crusade Against Uber
October 7, 2014
by Sean Orr | Bad news: Postmedia strikes $316-million deal to buy Quebecor's English papers. As reported by Canada's other paper, which is owned by Bell. Have you never read heard about the media monopoly in the mainstream media? No, because of the media monopoly.
Watch Conservatives mount courageous defence of their right to talk gibberish. That's not a clickhole article. This would be a clickhole article: 5 Ways ISIS Can Reduce Its Carbon Footprint.
Meanwhile, Godwin's Law put into practice: Tory Senator Uses Nazis, Trudeau Sr. To Attack Liberals' Iraq Stance. Oh, and because ISIS got most of its weapons from the US and its allies, here's a petition: Do NOT bring Canada into the war against ISIS.
Why Alberta producers won't feel the fallout of plunging oil prices until next year. Isn't the war in Iraq supposed to raise oil prices? Hmm.
Red Herring on the menu: Olivia Chow Smacks Down Racially-Charged Question. "I don't know what it has anything to do with me being an immigrant".
Meanwhile, back in in Lotusland, the press is keeping our politicians honest: Gregor Robertson Likes It Spicy And Other Fun Facts About Vancouver's Mayor.
I'd rather vote for a peanut than an unremarkable nobody.
Meanwhile, in San Francisco: Proposition G: Stop unfair evictions. Wouldn't it be cool if we had a civic party that took some sort of stand on this issue. Oh wait: "The Greens say they'll protect apartment tenants from renovictions by strengthening the rate-of-change bylaw so all residents "have housing relocation plans for comparable or better accommodation at a comparable or lower rent before the building or demolition permit is issued…"
'I'm ready to take on the $18-billion boys': Vancouver's cabbies take aim at Uber. Jesus Christ, what is wrong with me? I read that as "I'm ready to take on 18 billion boys…" and then I thought to myself, "C'mon now, that is way too many boys…" Some background via Jacobin: Against Sharing. Please do not share that article.
Schadenfreude of the day: Mark Donnelly trips over carpet during anthem Why schadenfreude towards the beloved singer? He's anti-choice.
Meanwhile, in Gastown: Two men stabbed overnight at Gastown pub. Wow, Portside really does live up to its Snortside nickname (you know, because cocaine).
Also in Gastown, the neighbourhood gets even more interesting: Female models for Facesitting Videos. Shaun Layton, is that you?

Bonus: Worst Cats.
TEA & TWO SLICES | On Pot-Smoking Dogs And No One Caring What Harper Has To Say
October 3, 2014
by Sean Orr | Hate and Hateability: Blog Lists Reasons To Hate Vancouver, So We List Reasons To Love It. Hmm, I hate "I Hate Van" because I've been hating Van for so much longer, but I hate the Huffington Post's weak, cheerleading response even more because I can't stand smarm. Scamcouver might do it better, and though I think it's a lot easier to hate on Vancouver than to actually go out and make it a better place, I do appreciate the author's Sense & Sensibility-like stance on shyness being a cop-out.
'Follow the money': Hundreds of millions are spent in the Downtown Eastside every year, but where does it all go? Aw, isn't this swell! Kirk LaPointe decided to grace the DTES with his presence. The neighbourhood shouldn't be seen as an alien entity that needs more oversight than the rest. How about you follow the money from illicit drugs all the way to Kerrisdale, Coal Harbour, and Yaletown instead?
Or should that be, follow the fur? Dog on drugs is the talk of Yaletown. "Marijuana affects dogs differently, similarly to the range of effects experienced by humans…" Thanks for the heads up on that, Dr. Vancity Buzz!
Follow the property tax: Vancouver has lowest property tax rate in Canada. Special shout out to all those complaining about Meena Wong's speculation tax.
I wouldn't ignore foreshadowing from a man named Macbeth: Canada Housing Crash Could Hit Next Year: Hilliard MacBeth. Oh, next year, eh? As in, after the election? Best comment: "I predict that it will snow in at least one place in Canada this coming January."
Speaking of foreshadowing: Does Twitter foreshadow wins for Gregor Robertson, Barinder Rasode, Jonathan Cote, and George Affleck? I've already referenced Nada Surf's "Popular" once this month, so I'm clearly fresh out of ideas…
Elvis Everyone has left the building: Stephen Harper Mocked Over Photos Of Empty Seats At UN Address. But what about what he said? "Saving the lives of the worlds most vulnerable mothers, infants, and children must remain a top global priority…" Except, of course, you know, if they are dying because of climate change, because…er…that doesn't exist. And definitely not if they're being bombed by Israel…
But it's ok: Canadians becoming more 'progressive': poll. Nobody knows what that means, but it's provocative.
Speaking of provocative: What is public art? If you have to ask, then you probably shouldn't.
Romancing the stoned: Vancouver's Underground Music. "Long besot by negative stigma from Vancouverites and tourists alike, the area possesses a seedy, oppressive mystique that permeates the rain-soaked streets…" Ooooh…
Craigslist of the Day: For sale: bullshit European baby scooter made of wood and smugness – $40 (west end).
TEA & TWO SLICES | On Harper's Good Side And Swearing Oaths To The Gods Of Hockey
September 29, 2014
by Sean Orr | You say "Potato", I say "Israel": Unreal exchange in House of Commons over Canada's involvement in Iraq. You know you're in trouble when Global TV uses the word "unreal" to describe your parliament. Nevertheless, if there was justice in the world, NDP Leader Thomas Mulcair would get every vote possible for his beatdown of Conservative MP Paul Calandra. Macleans goes further: "They call it Question Period, not Fundamentals of Human Dignity Period…"
Update: Calandra is sorry. Really, really sorry.
The mask of Janus: Critics question use of official photographers to capture Harper's good side. Man, a 360 degree, Matrix-style drone helicopter couldn't capture Harper's good side.
Potential new ex-Premier: Premier proposes name change for Temporary Foreign Worker program. "So maybe if they are overhauling the program they can change the name from temporary foreign worker to potential new Canadian…" If you work hard, swear allegiance on a stack of maple leaves, worship your new god Hockey, eat at Tim Hortons every single day, and aren't a terrorist (that's a big one), then maybe you can become one of us.
Malcolm X in the Middle: Vancouver Sun's Jordan Subban photo caption sparks outrage. "Dark Guy in the Middle" sounds like a quirky premise for a sitcom. Perhaps they just meant spiritually dark and this is all just a misunderstanding…
Speaking of outrage: The new, tiresome culture of outrage. This article makes me more outraged than, say, knowing that Missouri cops are wearing 'I am Darren Wilson' bracelets.
City trying to close Oppenheimer Park tent city, move homeless to upscale Vancouver neighbourhood. What neighbourhood isn't upscale compared to the DTES? "You always have to worry about tipping the balance and I think we're getting close to tipping that balance (in False Creek)" – George Affleck (seemingly unaware that this is the exact argument used by anti-gentrification protesters).
The rich should form a counter-protest and buy up a bunch of housing and just leave them empty. Oh, wait…Vancouver's empty, run-down million-dollar homes receiving global attention, local anger. It would suck if someone were to, oh, I dunno…leave the water running.
Meanwhile, Judge dismisses challenge of Vancouver's street vending bylaw. So a rich person can leave an entire house empty if they are going to sell it but a poor person can't have a garage sale on the street. Sounds about right.
UnfairBnb: Airbnb to begin collecting San Fran hotel tax. In Vancouver, only the Green Party has added an AirBnb tax to their platform. Vancouver hotels currently pay 16.5% tax; AirBnb pays 0%.
Bonus: I-don't-know-how-I-missed-it-of-the-month.
TEA & TWO SLICES | On Sore Lululosers And Clearing Oppenheimer Park's Tent City
September 23, 2014
by Sean Orr | Go for that "lived-in" look: Poll: Should Vancouver tax owners of vacant condos? Yes, but how long until professional companies pop up to just make it look like someone actually is living in your condo? Full disclosure: I've been doing that for 7 years in my parent's condo and nobody suspects a thing…
The Province newspaper asked its famously informed subscribers if the police should "clear out the tent city homeless protesters in Oppenheimer Park". One response really captured the readergeist: "Absolutely! 99.9% of the citizens of Vancouver have jobs, work hard and pay for their accommodation [...] I have no expectation that the taxpayers should pay my way. But then, what should we expect from Mayor Moonbeam and his Merry Band of Loonies?" Hmm, perhaps you could expect a more accurate estimation of the city's current unemployment rate? For the record, currently 5.8% of Vancouverites are jobless, not 0.1%. That's over 25,000 people. Not even Stanley Park would have enough room to accommodate that many tents.
A towering argument: Development taken to new level by Vision Vancouver. "So is the 'Greenest City' branding more like a Potemkin Village initiative, leading Gregor Robertson's party to become the default choice of urban hipsters and environmentally-conscious boomers alike"? Yes, but can we call it facadism, please?

TEA & TWO SLICES | On Joint Agreements & Free Bartenders Serving Tainted Alcohol
September 18, 2014
by Sean Orr | "Rocks out" should be in quotation marks: Stephen Harper rocks out at Calgary nightclub. "Taking care of business and working overtime at your second part time minimum wage job with no benefits that you need to feed your family because of Canada's deep and persistent income inequality, work out!"
I wonder if the above show sold out like how Harper just sold out the country: Harper sell out to China will be locked in.
Also, is it just me or does he seem a little stiff these days? Perhaps he could use a visit to everyone's favourite dominatrix: Dominatrix expelled from Senate hearing after mentioning 'proof on politicians'. For a second I thought this was a Marg Delahunty bit from This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
Speaking of loosening up: Christy Clark reaches deal with teachers just 24 hours after Dana Larsen mailed her pot. "We've come to a joint agreement," indeed.
How to conflate the right to housing and the right to own property in one easy step: Politicians shouldn't meddle with the housing market. "You want a house? Work hard and buy one — or move somewhere cheaper…" And if that doesn't work, you could always call upon the meddling CHMC.

TEA & TWO SLICES | On Voyeuristic Punk Adventurism And Temporary Devil Genitals
September 11, 2014
by Sean Orr | More voyeuristic, romantic, hagiography regarding the DTES. I expected better from Vice: A look at the punk scene coming out of one of Canada's Poorest Postal Code. "The scene is, I think it's getting a bit more real, which sounds kind of lame". It sure does. No mention of any actual punk bands, and no mention of The Astoria, Emergency Room, Alf House, Red Gate, The Cobalt, Secret Location/Nite Prison, or Chi Pig. You know that I'm wary of the G-word, but the piece just reeks of middle-class, neo-colonial adventurism.

TEA & TWO SLICES | On The First Day Of School And Blaming Trees For A Forest Fire
September 2, 2014
by Sean Orr | So, how was everyone's Working Multiple Temporary Part-Time Minimum Wage Jobs With No Benefits Day?
In case you missed it, our Premier celebrated the day by trolling teachers on Twitter and Facebook with hilarious results. If her term in office could be shortened by the acidity of Facebook comments alone, her quick removal would be assured. Here are just a few of my faves…
"Convenient that the BC Supreme Court's decisions don't influence the private schools your children will be attending tomorrow…"
"Blaming the teachers for this strike is like blaming the trees for a forest fire…"
"Why you so stupid Christy?"
"A contract that has a self-destruct clause is not a contract…"
"im in a private school and there handicaps…" [sic]
I could be wrong, but I'm thinking that last one was actually arguing in support of the government.
BC is not alone: Hey, premiers, leave them teachers alone!
Muckraker of the day: Peter Fassbender and the back-to-basics education movement in the '70s. "Amid the turmoil, Fassbender introduced a motion asking the Education Ministry to restore corporal punishment (and) there was also a tiff over the way teachers were dressing". Wow, talk about basic!
But by far the most enjoyable headline of the weekend was this amazing piece of
satire journalism from the Globe and Mail: B'nai Brith CEO to nominate Harper for Nobel Peace Prize. "The Conservative government has said that its outspoken approach is part of a 'principled' foreign policy that means it is unafraid to choose sides in conflicts".

TEA & TWO SLICES | On Barfing Into Fendi Bags & Affluent Kids Moving Into The DTES
August 28, 2014
by Sean Orr | We are Tennyson's mariners, and we've eaten the lotus: Vancouver is fast becoming Fat Cat City as luxury purchase opportunities pile up. If
you we don't violently vomit blood-specked rage while you read this then there is something drastically wrong with you us. "It's kind of a high-powered game of keeping up with the Joneses — except in this case it's keeping up with the Fendis and the Armanis". Barf! Real, actual wealth has never needed to prostitute itself so vulgarly. What we're seeing here instead are expensive expressions of personal insecurity…
"The edgy neighbourhood [Gastown] may once have been Vancouver's skid row…", the masturbatory article continues. Wrong. Skid Row is skid row. Gastown has always been Gastown. It was gentrified in the 70s, not the 2010s. "Stylish, well-heeled Asians make up the majority of her business…" Oh, just stop it already.
Meanwhile, to our south, no one will heed this warning:
The divide between the haves and have-nots is getting worse really, really fast. In 1980, the top 1 percent controlled about 8 percent of U.S. national income. The bottom 50 percent shared about 18 percent. Today the top 1 percent share about 20 percent; the bottom 50 percent, just 12 percent.
Related: One Incredible Entrepreneur Saved This Struggling Neighborhood By Replacing Everyone In It With Affluent Twentysomethings…
Just one year ago, East Shellwood was one of the poorest neighborhoods in America. Its public schools were buckling under budget cuts and the crime rate was steadily increasing, while property values had hit an all-time low.
Today, all of that has changed. East Shellwood is thriving, and shows no signs of slowing down. So what happened?
It all started when a community-minded entrepreneur by the name of Jackson Klemmer had the innovative idea to replace every single one of the area's longtime residents with affluent twentysomethings. The rest, as they say, is history.
"I knew if we could just find some way to increase the cost of living so that poorer residents had no choice but to move out, we could completely revitalize the neighborhood by filling it with predominantly white twentysomethings," said Klemmer, a real estate investor and community activist. "People said East Shellwood was a lost cause. But I never stopped believing in this place and the people who could potentially live here once we got rid of all the poor people."

Meanwhile the Conservatives keep getting more….conservative-y: Peter MacKay Wears Gun Shirt From Group That Wants To Repeal Canada's Firearms Laws. But…but…Justin wants to give your kids weed! Or, I see your true colours. Oh, and this is the responsible gun-owning veteran who uses his disability to sneak vodka into football games.
Meanwhile environmentalists are zealots who want to shoot people on Skytrains: The Paver, the Optimist, the Suspicious, the Skeptic and the Back-to-the-Lander. "We don't need to tell you the resource debate can be loud and antagonistic", so we need to be louder and more antagonistic.
Don't look at it like you're losing a glacier, but rather that you're gaining a cool new lake! Decker Glacier lake at Whistler a sign of melt to come. Not sure if it's on purpose, but that headline reminds me of Refused.

Win 7 home prem 32 but
The case of the disappearing mouse pointer
Before arriving here in the forum, I have researched this online and so can confirm I have gone into the control panel and ensured the "hide mouse pointer whilst typing" is unticked.
I have an intermittent problem where after typing a few letters, the mouse pointer is disappearing. As I am the sort who looks at the keys not the screen, I don't know this til I look up again.
It doesn't appear to do this in a browser screen like the one I am using to type this and I just did a test in Word and it didn't do it then, but half an hour ago, I was updating a page in Frontpage and it kept doing it.
It has also done it in word before I recall and it has done it when using a browser to prepare an e mail so as I say, this appears to be a moody little fault.
Any ideas on what I can do to fault find bar reinstalling the O/S much appreciated. Keith

Dorothea Johnson has opinionated in her work Tea & Etiquette that, "Tea beckons us to enjoy quality time with friends and loved ones, and especially to rediscover the art of relaxed conversation." It is a global truth now as serving tea is no longer a quintessentially English tradition. The Americans have gladly adopted it, albeit in the iced form, but nevertheless. Tea has infiltrated the lives of people around the world and is today being innovatively incorporated in multiple cuisines following on the heels of Dr. Samuel Johnson who had once proclaimed that, "[I am a] hardened and shameless tea drinker, who has for twenty years diluted his meals only with the infusion of this fascinating plant; whose kettle has scarcely time to cool; who with tea amuses the evening, with tea solaces the midnight, and with tea welcomes the evening." So, try out these awesome sweet tea recipes and join the tea celebrations today!

Great stuff, but...
...there's still one thing I'd love to have from DragThing: the ability to badge running applications without having DragThing create a Process Dock. I use the Apple Dock as my Process Dock rather than DragThing's Process Dock, and when the Process Dock is turned off, you can't highlight running applications in other docks. Minor desire, to be sure, but I'd love to have it enabled.
Great stuff, but...
This is something I plan on fixing sooner rather than later, but for now you can work round it pretty easily.

Movie previews 12/19
If you're looking for a movie that makes you feel dark and depressed, it's a good thing "12 Years a Slave" is still in town, because all the the new titles opening this week sound awfully good natured.
Take the headlines in this week's Link:
Ron Burgundy takes Manhattan
No trick to 'Hustle,' just good, chaotic fun
'Dinosaurs' is smart, fun
'Mr. Banks' is delightful
See what I mean? You feel better already, don't you? Unless "Saving Mr. Banks" goes into the way Walt Disney treated union workers during a strike, there's not a dismal message among that quartet.
Also, looking a little ahead (but not too far away), "It's a Wonderful Life" will have two showings on Christmas Eve, 2 p.m. and 7 p.m., at both Cinemark locations in Sioux Falls.

i don't know what a building is
16 January 2014
Yes, I've been reading again; quite a bit I might add.
purpose of drawings part three – definitive drawing
6 November 2013
In our last two posts we looked at drawings as a thinking device and that they tend to develop from very loose and abstract images to defined, scalar representations of the building or space. Today we will look at examples of what most people identify with, the definitive drawing. We will jump ahead in the design process to images that are more complete and beyond most of the conceptual or exploratory phase.

It is that simple and we enjoy it. However, what I want to make clear is the pleasure part of it isn't what drives it. …keep reading

Hiring an Architect: Part 5- What? Me, hire an architect?
17 September 2013
I recommend you go to Keith's site to read the rest. However, my favorite quote series is…"You could buy a builder house or build a house from a 'plan book' or on-line source. Going that route will allow you to build someone's house, it won't be your house, but it will be a house… I like to equate it as a builder/'plan book' home fits you like a mitten while an architect designed home fits like a glove."
Originally posted on Architect's Trace:
In this final installment of the 'Hiring an Architect' series, I address the most common question I've heard over the years from potential residential clients- "What? Me, hire an architect?" In my experience what they're actually asking is;
"Can I afford an architect, aren't they expensive?"
"Can't I just by a builder house or buy plans from a book and still end up with what I want?"
"Isn't an architect just going to design what they want and ignore me?"
These questions weigh heavily on clients, in reality; they couldn't be further from the truth. However, hiring the services of an architect is not for everyone. Not everyone is building a custom home or taking on a significant renovation/addition. If you are considering/making such an investment, why not hire an architect to assist you in getting what you want? If you want your home to reflect who

A response to an account of an ideal state told by Socrates, it begins with Timaeus' theoretical exposition of the cosmos and his story describing the creation of the universe, from its very beginning to the coming of man. Timaeus introduces the idea of a creator God and speculates on the structure and composition of the physical world. Critias, the second part of Plato's dialogue, comprises an account of the rise and fall of Atlantis, an ancient, mighty and prosperous empire ruled by the descendants of Poseidon, which ultimately sank into the sea.

A video resource containing 12-15 mission stories, varying in length from two to ten minutes.
The Office of Adventist Mission at the world headquarters of the Seventh-day Adventist Church.
Free (options for individual members are currently being explored).
Through the new Adventist Mission DVD, we will have specific messages and stories to communicate to church members around the world. We will introduce you to those who are currently doing mission work, and to those whose lives have been changed as a result.
It is for all members and friends of the church family.
No, a copy will automatically be sent to your church.
We plan to send a new Adventist Mission DVD each quarter.
Some do, and some do not. The overall goal is to share stories that will show what mission offerings have accomplished, to thank members for their support, and to report on what still needs to be done.
We recommend that the segments be shown over the course of a quarter. Also, it helps to remind members that ongoing support to the worldwide mission of the Church is important.
No problem. Just save them for another opportunity, or check out the suggestions below.

Church leaders realized that the gospel needed to be translated, familiarized, and contextualized and that ministers, like Paul, had to become all things to all men so that they could by all means save some.
The Vision: That every city will have an influential Adventist presence actively engaged in a comprehensive mission, using Christ's method of ministry.
Centers of influence are currently being established in cities around the world.

SUNDAY, June 26 (HealthDay News) -- Curbing calories is the key
ingredient for diabetics seeking to lose weight, and low-fat diets
that are either high in protein
or high in carbs are equally effective, researchers say.
"I think there are two key messages from this study," said study lead author Jeremy D. Krebs, a senior lecturer with the school of medicine and health sciences at the University of Otago in Wellington, New Zealand. "The first is that no matter what diet we prescribe, people find it extremely difficult to sustain the changes from their habitual diet over a long time. But if they are able to follow either a high-protein diet or a high-carbohydrate diet, they can achieve modest weight loss."
Krebs said this first message conveys flexibility and allows
people to choose the approach that best suits them and "even to
swap between dietary approaches when they get bored."
The second point "is that for people with diabetes, if they can
adhere to either diet and achieve weight loss, then they do get
benefits in terms of their diabetes control and cardiovascular
risk," he added.
Krebs and his colleagues are scheduled to report their findings
Sunday in San Diego at the American Diabetes Association
To compare the potential benefits of two popular dietetic
approaches, the authors tracked nearly 300 overweight men and women
between the ages of 35 and 75 who were on a new, two-year
nutritional program.
To start, all the participants had a body mass index greater
than 27, meaning they were moderately overweight, and all had type
2 diabetes.
The researchers randomly assigned the participants to one of two
groups: a low-fat/high-protein group or a low-fat/high-carb
For the first half year, all attended twice-weekly group
sessions led by a dietitian; for the following six months, sessions
took place monthly.
Weight and waist circumference were measured at six months, one
year, and two years. Kidney function and lipid (blood fats)
profiles were also assessed throughout.
Food diaries indicated that total calorie intake went down in
both groups. Ultimately, both groups lost a similar amount of
weight and reduced their waist size in similar measure, the
investigators found. And by the end of the two-year period, both
groups had similar blood fat profiles.
Krebs and his colleagues concluded that their "real-world"
experiment demonstrated that both approaches afford similar
benefits, with the principal driving factor behind sustained weight
loss being calorie reduction rather than either high-carb or
high-protein consumption.
Lona Sandon, a registered dietitian and assistant professor of
clinical nutrition at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical
Center at Dallas, said the observations were "not at all
"This is pretty consistent with other research out there that has conducted other long-term comparisons in the general population," she said. "In the first six months you might see a little better benefit from a high-protein approach. But long-term, the initial benefits from a high-protein diet seem to diminish over time, and the two diets end up being essentially equivalent," Sandon explained.
"The bottom-line is that
the issue for weight loss is calories," Sandon added. "Not
where those calories come from. You need to create an energy
deficit to lead to weight loss, and that happens by decreasing
those calories. That's just been shown again and again."
Experts note that research presented at medical meetings is
considered preliminary because it has not been subjected to the
rigorous scrutiny required for publication in a peer-reviewed
medical journal.

Public Statement: "We Are the 44%" Coalition Challenges Sexual Violence Against Black and Latina Teens
Last week popular hip-hop magazine XXL posted a video on its website (XXL.com) from Too $hort, a 45-year old rapper who came to prominence in the late 80's for his raunchy lyrics and videos. In what was called his "fatherly advice" video, the rapper instructed 12, 13, and 14-year-old boys on how to "turn out" their female classmates. In a transcript from the video, he said: "A lot of the boys are going to be running around trying to get kisses from the girls; we're going way past that. I'm taking you to the hole. …You push her up against the wall. You take your finger and put a little spit on it and you stick your finger in her underwear and you rub it on there and watch what happens."
As a response, a coalition of outraged Black and Latina activists, artists, and writers – all of whom have a long history in social justice activism – have come together to ensure that this does not happen again and have named themselves the We Are the 44% coalition. The coalition's name aims to give voice to the many teen survivors of sexual assault. Too $hort's video specifically targeted adolescent students. This group is consistent with the appalling statistic that 44% of sexual assault survivors are under 18 years old (visit the Rape, Abuse, and Incest National Network website: www.rainn.org/statistics). The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention also reports that 1 out 5 women in the United States have been raped in their lifetime (www.cdc.gov/ViolencePrevention/sexualviolence/index.html). Because Too $hort's video blatantly promoted sexual violence against girls, and because boys are also being advised to develop irresponsible, abusive and ultimately criminal behavior compelled, the all-women coalition decided to take pointed actions (see demands listed below).
The coalition recognizes this video—and the fact that XXL gave it a platform — as part of the larger issue of sexual assault against our women and children, particularly Black and Latina girls. The coalition also recognizes that the aforementioned statistics do not reflect the countless abuses that go unreported, including that of teenage boys who are often the unrecognized survivors of sexual assault. And most importantly, the coalition recognizes the urgent need to create heightened awareness and broad, uncategorized support for the eradication of sexual violence against children.
This is absolutely unbelievable. Read more on this coalition against the disgusting and abusive video made by Too $hort.

America's VetDogs trains and places guide and service dogs to help veterans with disabilities once again lead active, independent lives. Not only does a guide or service dog provide assistance with daily activities, it provides the motivation to take on new challenges. People focus on the dog, not the disability. With a VetDog by his or her side, a veteran is never alone.
America's VetDogs serves the needs of veterans with disabilities from all eras who have honorably served our country. VetDogs trains and places guide dogs for individuals who are blind; service dogs for those with other physical disabilities; and physical and occupational therapy dogs to work with service members in military and VA hospitals. It is accredited by Assistance Dogs International and the International Guide Dog Federation. For a dog to become a VetDog guide or service dog, it must meet our health, safety, and training standards.
A guide dog is trained to find and follow a clear path, maneuver around obstacles, and stop at curbs. A user with a guide dog gains enhanced mobility and independence.
A service dog is specially trained to help people who have disabilities other than visual impairment. A dog can be trained to provide balance, retrieve dropped items, open and close doors, turn on and off lights, or carry a backpack.
These specially trained canines are deployed in theater for active military personnel. They offer emotional support for servicemen and women dealing with combat stress, home front issues, and sleep disorders.
With more service men and women coming home from conflicts needing assistance dog, America's VetDogs needed a new avenue to train and provide dog to meet the increased demand. For the last 2 years, the organization has been working with select prison to help raise the dog that will eventually be provided to disabled veterans.
Increasingly, individuals need to receive more specialized assistance dog training for disabilities other than blindness, which has led to the creation of the Capable Canine® Program offered by the Guide Dog Foundation and America's VetDogs. Students receive the dog, necessary equipment, personalized instruction with a comprehensive training program, and aftercare services free of charge. The Guide Dog Foundation and America's VetDogs strive to be the leading resource and provider of premier services to facilitate the independence of people with special needs.If you are a veteran and wish to receive a service dog, please apply for a service dog through our VetDogs program. If you are not a veteran, please reach out to the VetDogs Consumer Service office at 866-282-8047 to learn about your options.

If you haven't jumped on the Guardians of the Galaxy bandwagon yet, there's still time. The movie doesn't come out until August, but Marvel and its licensing partners are already gearing up to take advantage of what could be a surprisingly robust property. After all, who's not going to like a heavily-armed, ill-tempered raccoon and a super-strong living tree?
Diamond Select Toys is ready for GotG mania, producing a new series of Minimates specifically designed around the versions of the characters you'll see in theaters. Along with what's sure to be the most popular pack, Drax with Groot and a Rocket Raccoon micro-figure, the series (which is Wave 57 for Marvel Minimates!) includes the following two-packs:
- Star-Lord with Ronan
- Gamora with Nova Corps Centurion
- Nebula with Sakaar Soldier
The Gamora and Nebula packs will only be sold in comic shops and specialty stores, though you may be able to find the others at general retailers. The wave is expected to ship in September.
If you can't wait that long to lock up a tiny Groot and even tinier Rocket Raccoon for your shelf or desk of choice, online retailers are taking pre-orders for the Guardians of the Galaxy Minimates now. Big Bad Toy Store is offering the complete set of nine figures for $29.99, which is 25 percent off its list price of $39.99.
Bam Smack Pow needs you! If you've always wanted to write about anything related to comic book super heroes, this is your big chance. We're looking for writers to cover anything that features super heroes: movies, TV, cartoons, video games, toys, cosplay, and of course, comics. Experience is helpful, but passion is the biggest prerequisite. The positions are unpaid, but your work will be exposed to the whole Fansided network and its monthly audience of millions. If you want to join us on this journey, contact Nick Tylwalk at [email protected] or follow our Twitter feed @bamsmackpow.

Alright, after calming down and taking a week to process what happened in Chicago, it's time to move on because already the Bengals have a huge game Monday night against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers. Luckily for the Bengals sake, all of the teams in the division lost and with a win over the Steelers they can jump out to a lead in the division.
The Steelers have had not just bad luck, but horrible luck with the injuries to key players on both the defensive and offensive side of the ball. Let's take a look at 5 players from the Bengals who need to be on their game this week.
