Student video competition awards creative entries
05 Oct 2015 - 11:20 in Achievement
The School of Engineering and Computer Science recently challenged its students to create short videos showcasing what they like most about studying Engineering through a competition named 'What Flicks your Switch?' Students submitted videos covering a wide range of topics, from engineering projects to what it is like to study at Victoria University. First place winners Henry Williams, Robby Lopez and Michael Pearson showcased the development of the robot they entered into the annual Australasian National Instruments Autonomous Robotics Competition (NIARC). Postgraduate student Henry Williams said entering the video competition was a chance to share his enthusiasm for making robots. "Building stuff is fun, especially robots, and at Victoria we have had the opportunity to make some pretty awesome stuff. We are especially proud of what we have achieved at NIARC each year." Second place winner Liam Dennis, who is studying software engineering, was inspired to enter the competition to further his love of film-making. He wanted to show the benefits of students from engineering and computer science working alongside, and incorporating, other disciplines. "I wanted to show that the greatest joy can often be found at the intersection of fields, where we combine different skills to improve the way we live now and in the future." The winning team took home $1000 of electronic equipment while the second place winner received $500 of electronic equipment. Check out the winning video and the runner-up and keep an eye out for upcoming competitions and events.
Superlens promises new insights
28 Sep 2015 - 11:09 in Research
Observing the real-time interaction of virus particles is one of the many benefits expected from Victoria University of Wellington research into the design of a new far-field superlens, or optical omniscope. Dr Ciaran Moore from the School of Engineering and Computer Science will be leading the project as the recipient of a $300,000 Marsden Fast-Start grant. Current superlens microscopes cannot simultaneously resolve both very small and large features, measured in terms of smaller or greater than 1/200th of the width of human hair. Moreover, they can only observe these features in one dimension, resulting in images consisting of parallel lines. The optical omniscope aims to address both these issues, meaning differently-sized features can be observed together and in two dimensions, allowing for more detailed observations of nanostructures and nanoparticles interacting with their environment. "The optical lenses we have now can only give us a blurry image of a nanostructure. It's like looking at an object through frosted glass. You can see that something is there, but not the finer detail," says Dr Moore. "Other techniques with higher resolution are available, but these can damage the nanostructures." While still in the early stages of development, Dr Moore says the optical omniscope has a number of potential benefits across a range of scientific applications. "Presently, medical samples have to be extensively treated—usually cut into thin slices then bleached or doped with fluorescent markers—before they can be examined. But the optical omniscope removes the need for pre-treating, which will save time and result in faster diagnoses. "Pre-treating can also kill medical samples—by eliminating the need to pre-treat, the sample remains live. That means you could take high-resolution images of a living sample and watch organisms develop or change over time, or see what happens to them when they are in contact with toxic material." Dr Moore says the optical omniscope could also help speed up the manufacture of computer processors. "The wide field of view contains information about both the very small features as well as the larger ones, so you would be able to check a larger section of each microchip more quickly. By being able to manufacture them more quickly, the cost should then come down too." Dr Moore hopes that the prototype optical omniscope will improve access to high-end microscopy equipment, thereby leading to new discoveries in nanoscience and nanotechnology. "If we can make this technology better and more accessible, then more is being seen, which could have a significant impact on the rate of scientific discoveries." Dr Moore has been working with Victoria University's School of Chemical and Physical Sciences, where nanoscience research is undertaken. Marsden Fast-Start grants are administered by the Royal Society of New Zealand and come from a special pool of funds set aside for emerging researchers (up to seven years after the conferment of a PhD).

Avalon Intermediate technology pilot programme a huge success
22 Sep 2015 - 09:22 in Achievement
It's a few minutes before nine on a Friday morning at Avalon Intermediate School in Lower Hutt. In the school hall, representatives from Victoria University's School of Engineering and Computer Science are adding the finishing touches to three interactive learning stations. The programme is part of the University's 'Introduction to Technology' pilot at the school. The 10-week activity programme gives students and teachers a taste of technology education two mornings a week and it is hoped it will lead to a sustainable programme that can be used in future years. Right on nine, the doors burst open and year seven and eight students pour into the hall. They bring with them an excited buzz and enthusiastic chatter. John Barrow, Victoria's Outreach Coordinator, says, "It's great to see how into it the students are". Avalon Intermediate is a decile 2 school where, with a large proportion of Māori and Pasifika students on the roll, the importance of technology education cannot be overstated. Teacher Janine Simpson explains that many of the children do not often venture outside the Hutt Valley. "The technology in these sessions is the most cutting edge they have ever seen," she says. Students have already learned about building powerful paper darts, encryption, including coding and decoding messages, building small, autonomous robots called Bristlebots and making their own interactive apps. They have also had an introduction to Scratch, a programming language for children. Today's theme is virtual reality and the students are in for a treat. Station one has been set up to allow the students to try the virtual reality headset known as the 'Oculus Rift'. As students take turns riding a virtual rollercoaster, the sounds of whooping, cheering and laughter echo around the hall. 12-year old Naomi Masson says, "I like how it felt so real, like I was on an actual rollercoaster". She was also inspired by learning to create cellphone apps. "I want to try it at home." At station two students encounter a new invention called Google Cardboard. It's a simple virtual reality which works by attaching a Smartphone to a cardboard viewfinder. Very soon students are running all over the hall experiencing 'mixed reality', a merging of real and virtual worlds, for the first time. Station three is just as appealing. Students control an avatar on a screen who copies their moves as they dance, wriggle and star jump. The computer programme is called 'MikuMikuDance' and operates with a simple Xbox 360 sensor. Once again, raucous enthusiasm reigns. The aim is to engage students at a young age and encourage them to consider tertiary education in science, technology, engineering and mathematics. It is clear many of them are already feeling inspired. Even after the bell goes to signal break, students are crowded around the stations, asking questions, pointing, excited to learn more. Trace Hohipa, also 12, enjoyed the Scratch programming session the best so far. "I liked it because it felt like I was in my own world". Teacher Rose Campbell agrees that the programme has been a huge success. "It's been amazing for the kids to host the experts from Victoria University and have a taste of different types of technology because these kids are the ones entering a technological world."
Zombie apocalypse how?
18 Sep 2015 - 11:15 in Research
Ever wondered just how a Zombie attack could play out in your town—or what a Zombie apocalypse might actually look like? By the end of this year, it's quite probable that student Jacob Duligall will be able to answer those questions, and more. He's currently developing software that will simulate the spread of Zombie disease through a virtual city, turning everyday (virtual) folk into the flesh-eating un-dead. "As any good Zombie fan will tell you, Zombie-ism is spread by disease," says Jacob, a fourth-year student who is studying towards a Bachelor of Engineering with Honours, majoring in Software Engineering. "By building a system that models a Zombie apocalypse, I'll also be able to create a simplified simulation of how real diseases—such as colds or flu, or even Ebola—are spread." Able to choose the direction the project will take, Jacob is focusing on enabling the system to deal with a range of diseases, and allowing users to specify how the Zombies behave—rather than the alternative, making a more accurate model of the virtual city. He will, however, devote some time to adding geographic data by laying real maps over the top of the simulation to enhance user experience. "I'll be able to pick a person's home town, wherever it is in the world, and overlay the relevant map to show Zombies invading his or her town or home!" Using Java to implement the system, Jacob says he is really enjoying the visual simulation aspect of the project as it means working at the front-end of software development. "If I make a change to the code, I can almost instantly see a change to what's depicted on screen. Working at the back-end of development, on servers and gateways, is usually a less visually responsive exercise." At the end of the project, Jacob will look for volunteers to test his simulation program, and he'll write a report evaluating his findings. Jacob's supervisor, Roman Klapaukh, says he wanted Jacob to tackle a real-world problem—the spread of disease—and build a system from scratch, using all the skills he's learnt during the past three years of study. "When he finishes his project, Jacob will have a fantastic block of work to add to his portfolio that shows future employers just what his capabilities are," says Roman. Jacob, who is originally from Havelock North, chose Victoria because of its strong focus on, and good reputation for, Engineering and Computer Science. "One of my favourite subjects in Year 12 was computing. We had to build our own educational game, which I really enjoyed, although I didn't actually learn to write code until I started at Victoria." So what are his career plans when he graduates? "I'm hoping to turn my internship at Snapper into a full-time job," he says. Jacob is already working part-time at Snapper—a New Zealand contactless payment system—after being introduced to the company through his course work at Victoria. "When we studied agile development as part of our course work, Snapper's chief technology officer, Norman Cumerford, was one of our mentors," Jacob explains. "He ended up offering me and three others the opportunity to join Snapper as interns. I've been working on mobile app development there during the holidays (and part time during term time) and I'm really enjoying it. It would be the ultimate for me if I could go straight from university into a job I love!"
Curiosity - the key to new ideas
10 Sep 2015 - 11:49 in Achievement
Since Lohit Petikam was young, he's been curious about how things work. As his understanding grew, his curiosity shifted to how he could make things work. Teamed with his expanding interest in maths and a realisation of the power of computers, Lohit's curiosity transformed into a new hobby—programming. "I found myself making things, like small games and music visualisations. Then I developed an obsession for making electronic music. The concepts in music technology that appealed most were quite heavy in maths and physics—so I got into electronics and signal processing, hoping to gain a better understanding of what my music software was doing behind my back." Music and sound have continued to intertwine with Lohit's more analytical side as he has pursued his studies in Electronic and Computer Systems Engineering—with some music papers on the side. A Summer Research Scholarship recording kiwis is a good example of this. "My scholarship was about taking stereo audio recordings of kiwi calls, then using analysis techniques to estimate the direction the call came from. The recordings can be used as a low cost and easy way of understanding kiwi movement habits in native bush. Three main algorithms were tested to see how well the recordings could tell the direction, and how they coped with both noise and echo in the environment." After doing the research, Lohit took part in the Summer Gold Poster Competition, designing a poster that explained his research to the general public. "I was keen to do this from the start, because I felt that people could learn more about engineering if they weren't intimidated by abstract concepts and maths equations. I have some experience tutoring—both first-year and secondary school students—so I applied what I'd learnt there and described my research in an intuitive way, using design and graphics to make it visually appealing." Another highlight for Lohit has been making a speech synthesizer controlled by a glove interface—enabling users to make human voice sounds with their hands. For Lohit, it's the practical side of the Engineering programme that makes it so worthwhile. "The programme forces you to get your hands dirty—through practical labs and assignments. It leaves you with the experience and skills to build what you want. Students need to do their own research before accomplishing a goal. Though time-consuming, the projects have been rewarding because you end up with a finished product that you can call your own."

Victoria student lights up international stage
24 Aug 2015 - 16:46 in Achievement
A Victoria University of Wellington PhD student is creating waves around the world with a win in the 2015 Sonic Arts Award. Mo Zareei won first place in the Sound Art category of the international competition for his piece Rasping Music, based on a video entry of the work exhibited in the 2014 Wellington Lux festival. The Sonic Arts Award is dedicated to the art of sound. It has four categories—Sound Art, Sonic Research, Soundscapes and Digital Art—which are judged by a panel of internationally-renowned artists. Mo, who is pursuing his PhD in music, has won €1,000 and the possibility of travelling to Rome to showcase his work. "It's very exciting. It's a big award for sound art, which is a relatively new field. It's especially nice to be recognised by the judges as they're quite well-known artists," says Mo. Mo's piece was inspired by musician Steve Reich whose work Clapping Music has performers clap a simple rhythmic pattern which shifts out of sync to create complex rhythms. Instead of clapping, Mo uses his own invention called Rasper, a noise-generating instrument involving mechatronics and micro-controller programming. "Rasping Music was originally composed as an installation piece, but it was also realised as a live performance at last year's composers competition at the Te Kōkī New Zealand School of Music (NZSM), which resulted in a shared third prize. I have written a paper on the piece which I'm presenting at a conference later this year," he says. Mo's achievement extends on the success of the NZSM in Sonic Arts, with Dr Ted Apel having been awarded the 2013 Foundation for Emerging Technologies and Arts Prize in Sound Art. As part of his PhD, Mo is developing an ensemble of mechatronic sound sculptures, among which Rasper is the first instrument. He works in both Victoria's School of Engineering and Computer Science and the NZSM to carry out his research, supervised by Ajay Kapur, Professor Dale Carnegie and Dr Dugal McKinnon. "I have three supervisors from three different fields helping me. It's great to have the flexibility to work with them all," says Mo. Mo is currently working on a new piece for this year's Lux festival alongside Jim Murphy, a recent PhD graduate and teaching fellow at Victoria. A video of Rasping Music can be found here.

Teaching excellence award for Victoria's Dean of Engineering
13 Aug 2015 - 11:20 in Achievement
Professor Dale Carnegie accepts his prestigious teaching award from Hon Steven Joyce at Parliament. Photo credit: Ako Aotearoa. Victoria University of Wellington's Dean of Engineering has received one of the highest teaching honours in his profession—a 2015 Ako Aotearoa Tertiary Teaching Excellence award. Professor Dale Carnegie, who judges commended for his motivational teaching style, caring attitude and holistic approach to learning, was presented with the award at a function at Parliament this week. Over a teaching career that has spanned 25 years, Professor Carnegie has taught engineering-related courses at all levels, from first-year undergraduate to postgraduate and doctoral students. He says he takes pride in providing the best learning environment possible for his students. "Every teaching opportunity is an occasion to lead by example, to clearly demonstrate that I enjoy being with my students, that I am passionate about the material I am presenting and that I deeply care about their individual learning." That approach clearly resonates with Professor Carnegie's students who supported his award nomination with endorsements of his "engaging and full on" style, his "infectious enthusiasm" and his passion, with one student describing him as "the cool uncle you don't want to disappoint". "I don't stand behind a lectern," Professor Carnegie says. "I wander round all the time—it's all about being interactive and requiring full engagement from all students. It is just as important to me to inspire a failing student as it is to help a good student become the best they can be, hopefully to eventually outperform me." Professor Carnegie joined Victoria University in 2005, coming to the capital from a role at the University of Waikato. He was appointed Deputy Head of School when the School of Engineering and Computer Science was established in 2009. While holding that role he led a national research programme to better understand student recruitment and retention issues in engineering. "Students enrol in engineering with a certain set of expectations and our courses must meet those expectations. Engineers want to build, to create, to make a difference. Engineering staff and our colleagues in Mathematics took on this challenge and created a suite of new courses. Student satisfaction levels, and pass rates, soared," Professor Carnegie says. In 2012, Professor Carnegie became head of Victoria's School of Engineering and Computer Science, taking over as Dean of Engineering at the beginning of 2015. Victoria University Vice-Chancellor Professor Grant Guilford says the recognition for Professor Carnegie is well-deserved. "Dale is not only an outstanding scholar but also an inspirational teacher who excites and inspires his students. "Under his leadership, Engineering at Victoria, which is centred on the digital world, is going from strength to strength, with our students going on to work in industries at the cutting edge of this rapidly developing area." Professor Carnegie says the award is hugely important to him. "I'm honoured at the recognition for myself, but also very proud of the endorsement of what we are doing in engineering." Check out Professor Carnegie's inspiring application video here: https://youtu.be/Ib5_NwKEs6Q
Opportunities explode for game development and gaming
05 Aug 2015 - 10:33 in Research
10 years ago the stereotypical 'gamer' was a young male sitting in a basement hooked up to a computer for days on end. Nowadays, a gamer can be defined as loosely as 'anyone who plays games'. With the proliferation of games like Candy Crush Saga and Farmville, alongside 'serious' games such as League of Legends and Skyrim, that definition now includes almost everyone. As new technology, better graphics, and more powerful computers are developed there's never been a more exciting time to be a gamer. Kieran Carnegie, Computer Science PhD student and leading member of Victoria University's Engineering Club, is particularly interested in how the Oculus Rift, a virtual reality device, can be used for gaming, and other scenarios. "When you use the Oculus Rift you honestly believe that you have been transported into a virtual world," he says. "Research shows it's effective in treating Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and phobias through desensitisation therapy; you can also teach someone to drive, or how to be a tour guide using virtual maps." Kieran believes you can build a serious career around gaming, and New Zealand has a flourishing games industry. "Companies like PikPok in Wellington, Gameloft in Auckland or Epic Games in Christchurch create opportunities for gamers to work in the industry. These companies are constantly looking for new talent. There's a very attractive company culture for gamers," says Kieran. When it comes to gaming at Victoria, it's not all work and no play either. Kieran says many Engineering and Computer Science students were gamers before they came to university, and now they have an outlet to continue their hobby. The Victoria Engineering Club hosts LAN parties where students connect online and play against each other. "We facilitate tournaments for League of Legends, Dota 2 and Harvester and arrange team creation nights. Occasionally we get sponsorship from one of the big gaming companies who supply 'swag'. There have been New Zealand-wide events which the VUW team has competed in too, such as last year's Winter Championships hosted by Riot Games and this year's Oceanic Collegiate Championships." For those that are really good it can also offer an unexpected career path. "The United States government already offers athletes' visas for eSport players and there are international tournaments with serious prize pools of millions of dollars. There are even opportunities to become a pro-player and earn a salary by both playing in tournaments and sharing gaming tips with other enthusiasts online." To keep up with gaming tournaments and opportunities for ECS students, check out: https://www.facebook.com/VictoriaEngineeringClub

Sure, walking on rough terrains and visiting unknown locations may be healthy and worthwhile since you could give your chance to do some physical activities and make discoveries but do take note that there are risks associated with mountaineering. When you climb walk paths to climb a mountain, anything could happen. For instance, because the surfaces may be uneven due to rock formations and running water, you could slip and accidentally injure yourself. Aside from that, in the wild, you may find yourself being attacked by animals as well. But, even though you may have chosen a spot that has made-made paths that are safe to take, you may be lost when you don't have clear directions. That's why, before you leave for a hiking trip, make sure that you've made preparations for you to safely take on an adventure. Have the right gears and pack your bags well with supplies and gadgets that may be of assistance to you so that you would not end up having troubles later on. To find out how you could make yourself ready for your rock climbing expedition, please read on.
Before you decide what to purchase and bring with you, it is important that you do some research about the background of the location where you intend to go. Check out not only the map of the area but also the experiences that people have had when they went there. Instead of just looking for maps and reading reviews made by travelers, you should also get directions so that you'd know which paths to take and so that you would be able to follow prescribed routes. As much as possible, you should find out the weather or climate changes that your chosen destination usually has to be ready for anything. You would get an idea on what to wear prior to going to the spot where you wish to hike when you'd know the things that were just mentioned, since you could base your preparations from them.
It is vital that you should wear the right clothing when you go mountaineering because you may not be able to change clothes right away when you're already outdoors and in the middle of a remote location. In advance, you should purchase clothes that are appropriate for your travel before you take on challenges. If you're planning to visit a cold place then you should get yourself thick shirts or wear a jacket at least. However, if you're going somewhere that's considered to be a tropical place, you should try putting on breathable and moisture-absorbent clothes. If you can't decide if pants or shorts are beneficial for you then you should bring both instead. Both of them can give your legs the freedom to move and have adequate protection. Since hiking entails lots of walking and perhaps even running or leaping, you really have to select footwear that is fit for your needs. Choose shoes that can adequately protect your feet and also give you the freedom to change directions without injuring yourself. For instance, if you're a woman who wishes to travel, look for comfortable merrell shoes women collections before anything else.

Op-Ed: 3D printing — New ideas, better economics, and the new world rises
Paul Wallis
May 28, 2013 in
- The 3D printer may be the Spinning Jenny of the 21st century. From humble and slow beginnings, 3D printing is now a rising monster in real terms. Cheaper printers and much stronger software are breaking through even the thick heads of economics.
There's going to be a rant element in this. 3D printing is going places conventional manufacturing has never been, already. The ability to scale production is now a working business option. The basics of whole new forms of business and a totally different type of economics are there.
Much more impressively, so is a degree of unparalleled creativity. 3D printing is definitely a matter of skills and talent. CAD and 3D software have unleashed this genie. Never mind 3D guns, start thinking about 3D limbs and the ability to make spares out of thin air, like the US Navy. 3D printed drones are already in the air.
The escape from "plastic only" is another big step. In theory, it's no longer even a question about what materials can be used. The only question is how, not if. The ability to create precision models and working machines is now merging. Modern CAD can design literally anything. It can do quality controls, experiment and take chances with design that the old style designers simply couldn't fit in to their lifetimes.
It's hard to understate the difference this technology could make to the world. Imagine this scenario:
You need new shoes for the kids, want to give them some new toys, you'd like a
new car
and a
special guitar
, a new dining room, and you want to scare the pants off your friends by
having ten people show up at a party with your face
. A normal weekend, in fact. The kids can make it with your home printer, they've already filled their rooms with stuff they've made in school. The really good news is that this is
taking off in primary schools
You can print all these things with existing technology. Yes, even a new car, with a current design. (Engine not included, that's next week's technology and can run on anything that produces energy.) What's coming will be even more efficient.
Unleash the designers!
If you're not in the design business, you may not know how far ahead of technology and current markets design ideas always are. My father was a professional industrial designer/artist. He was always talking about things 20 years before they came on the market.
The trouble was, and still is, to some extent, that the process of design was incredibly lengthy. Commercial designs can be murderous. Design the thing, prototype it, find someone who wants to manufacture and distribute it, it's a supply chain, not just a profession. Then someone wants to change the color.
3D printing is a designer's dream. It's a way of experimenting, exploring, and most importantly, not going broke in the process. Think about that. Every single thing you own has been designed by somebody. Every item in your life has been designed. The new regime means the financial risks are reduced, so designers can take more risks with design. Innovation can hit warp speed.
…And it will. Ironically, the demand is coming from of all places the place it's supposed to be coming from- Consumers and businesses. Designers can now sell to the world. Businesses want designs that stand out. The fashion industry, in fact, is booming because designers can now produce designs and sell them to the online boutiques at good prices.
This is the next step in the "democratization of business". It'll change the world beyond recognition. The scope for creating anything and everything is off the scale. This will be a resource-rich, idea-rich economy, as distinct from mere "supply and demand", in terms of goods and services. It'll also allow a lot more ideas to come to life than the current efforts to force new ideas through the non-existent brains of the most unimaginative business culture in history.
Want to refight Snoopy vs. the Red Baron? Your home printed drone can do it. Expect clubs to show up soon enough, and home-made printed robots soon enough later. Want to stage your own Battle of Midway or bring The Sims to life? It's doable. Remote controlled ships and understanding parents/neighbors/public parks will take care of everything.
How about space travel? Wanna send your printed something to another planet? Not simple, but not impossible. Anyone who smiles at you is probably an insurer, but never mind that.
Tech, schmech, vectors schmectors
It's a matter of opinion whether the jargon-addled tech sector will wake up soon enough that complexity is lousy business and worse economics. "You can do this" sells a lot better than "You need 200 experts to scratch your backside" ever will. The fact is that the basic principles are simple enough- Coordinates and switches. Your 3D print is about as difficult to understand as your graphics software. It is, in fact, your graphics software cranked up a few notches, with some extra hardware. If it conks out, you just get your printer serviced.
If you remember the uber-ritual of trying to learn 3D as taught by obsessive experts to people who have no hope of understanding a word, you'll like 3D printing. Anyone can print on a 3D printer. The skill factor kicks in with need. This is basic. Get this on the market without the mumbo-jumbo, and you've got a new world.
Then, of course, there's the
3D printed hamburger
. Currently selling for an unassuming $300,000 and more or less joined at the hip with "meat factory" technology, aka tissue cultures, imagine doing a full French meal with a 3D printer for about $4.95. It's coming. Just tack on a heating element, and you could start a restaurant with your own special recipes.
The ultimate, of course, will be printing yourself. Always handy to have a few spares. You may even find a use for yourself- As a new workforce, unpaid, naturally, churning out your fiendish creations. Happy megalomania, humanity.

TBOS R5 - Lighthouse Vale - Part 2"Welcome to Lighthou" A brown-haired, bored-looking teenage boy in pressed slacks and a collared shirt started to say, before he performed the most classic double-take Bobu had seen in recent memory. Had he been drinking something rather than speaking, there may well have been an impressive fountain imitation as well.TBOS R5 - Lighthouse Vale - Part 2 by Oreramar
TBOS R5 - Lighthouse Vale - Part 1Ricco stood on a narrow path in a vast expanse of darkness, surrounded on all sides by swooping ribbons of white and brilliant, shining stars. He looked about in awe, wondering how he would go about capturing the terrible, beautiful majesty of this night-like void in a song...wondering if he could capture it at all. Colors shifted at the edges of his vision, across the black and the white alike. Reds, yellows, greens and blues, never there when he fixed his eyes on a point, always teasing him from the sides.TBOS R5 - Lighthouse Vale - Part 1 by Oreramar
TBOS R5: Lighthouse Vale - PrologueFirelight flickered and gleamed on gold; countless open braziers illuminated the glittering mountaintop city. The flames were so numerous that the air in the streets shimmered with warmth, ripples of heat pressing against the natural cool of late evening. Though few people were out at that hour, those who were walked with evident good cheer, nodding and smiling as they passed one another, exchanging wishes of good fortune and safety. Two women stopped to chat on the sidewalk, and the young daughter of one stooped to play with the cobbled stone street, tapping rocks one after another and giggling as they gained a golden sheen, one drop at a time.TBOS R5: Lighthouse Vale - Prologue by Oreramar

The Voice and the WitchThe inside of Isabelle's apartment looked exactly as a modern witch's home should, or so Petri had always thought. There was always a strange smell coming from bubbling pots on the stove, and the ceiling and tiny window of the kitchenette was constantly dripping with so many bundles of drying herbs that they blotted out most light and anyone taller than 5'4" risked getting at least a hairfull of thyme or sage every time they walked through. The sitting room was further cluttered with bowls of plant matter and stacks of fat candles and great chunks of crystal quartz or gleaming semi-precious stones mounted in wire cages, stands, or other contraptions set on tables or hanging from the walls. There was hardly space to walk between all of the tables and shelves and scattered apparatus of Isabelle's craft, and so Petri hovered by the door rather than brave the labyrinth on his own.The Voice and the Witchin Flash Fiction Month 2015 More Like This

Experience Hendrix Tour: Billy Cox, Robby Krieger, Bootsy Collins at Hard Rock Live
Former Experience and Band of Gypsys bassist Billy Cox met Jimi Hendrix when they were stationed together at the same army base in Fort Campbell, Kentucky.
Legend has it that one rainy night, Billy heard a guitar screaming in the service club. So he went inside and introduced himself to the big-handed kid playing his axe upside down and backwards.
They started jamming together, became fast friends, and toured the bustling rooms of America's black club circuit after leaving the armed forces.
Once Hendrix became a living legend, they got together again for Band of Gypsys, the
group some critics hail as having produced Jimi's most virtuosic playing. Just listen to the track "Machine Gun" from the band's live album and decide for yourself.
Nowadays, the members from every other Hendrix-led band is dead. But Billy Cox is still going strong. And the steady, bass-rocking genius has assembled a supergroup of blazing musicians including Kenny Wayne Sheperd, Jonny Lang, Eric Johnson, and Bootsy Collins (the bass man famous from his work with James Brown and Parliament-Funkadelic) for the Experience Hendrix Tribute Tour.
The show is improvised by masters of their craft. So expect a one-of-a-kind, acid-scorched trip from players with more history than a pyramid in Egypt.
Experience Hendrix Tribute Tour with Billy Cox, Robby Krieger, Jonny Lang, Bootsy Collins, Dweezil Zappa, and others. Wednesday, March 14. Hard Rock Live, One Seminole Way, Hollywood. The show starts at 8 p.m. and tickets cost $35 to $75 plus fees via ticketmaster.com. Call 954-797-5531 or visit hardrocklivehollywoodfl.com.

Hotels in Oahu
No amusement park necessary at this resort: the fun is in the breathtaking Hawaiian backdrop of lush rainforests and turquoise lagoons. Like all Disney ventures, guests of all ages are well-attended and entertained.
Located on Kuhio Avenue, just 10 minutes from Kapiolani Park and the Honolulu Zoo and three blocks from the beach, the 93-room, budget Aqua Bamboo and Spa is housed inside a repurposed apartment building.
The 11 oceanfront bungalows, an easy drive from the convenient stores along the Kamehameha Highway, carry an atmosphere of ease, accompanied by the North Shore lullaby of endless surf.
With direct access to Waikiki Beach, the Outrigger Reef on the Beach resort has a decidedly Hawaiian feel, from historic canoe art at the reception desk to a sitting room library stocked with Hawaiian literature and artifacts from the Bishop Museum.
Steps from Waikiki Beach, this 72-room boutique hotel has an elegant Zen-like quality, thanks to acclaimed San Francisco–based furnishings designer Jiun Ho. Guests enter through oversize wooden doors and are greeted by water features and stone sculptures.
Service rules at this recently renovated 5-acre Waikiki Beach beauty, which has existed for nearly a century. The Orchid Suite, the newest of the hotel's premier rooms, made its debut in 2008 (the rest of the guestrooms were updated in summer 2012).
Meticulously restored 1901 Beaux-Arts property—the first hotel on Waikiki Beach—with an Old Hawaii vibe (afternoon tea is de rigueur), plus one of Waikiki's only beachfront spas.
Oahu classic—fresh from a three-year, $52 million renovation—with thoughtful in-room details (Egyptian-cotton linens; chenille robes; oversize rainfall showerheads). This 1964 colossus benefits from having about it a whiff of retro glamour.
Turtle Bay is one of the most prized resorts on Oahu's North Shore thanks to Pacific Ocean views and access to championship golf courses, and the Estates gives people the opportunity to live there.
Along with spectacular views of natural blue Pacific and Diamond Head, the hotel showed its eco-commitment with heat pumps and exchangers to recover waste heat for hot water (which saves 50% in gas usage), as well as low-flow toilets.
This property was sold and reopened as the Modern Honolulu.
Based in the center of Haleiwa, this real estate company has a modest listing of rental properties scattered along the famous North Shore of Oahu. All condos, cottages, and villas are located on or near the beach, usually within a few hundred feet.
The expansive Hilton Hawaiian Village, the largest resort in Hawaii, is comprised of five towers housing 3,386 guest rooms and offers on-site amenities for vacationers.
Toward the quieter eastern end of Waikiki this family-friendly hotel packs 800-plus rooms into a high-rise across the street from the beach.

We had a lovely weekend here for my nieces graduation from Ohio State.It is a beautiful home, on a gorgeous creek near campus. Beds were comfortable. Food was delicious.
on April 20, 2015
This house was very elegant and the service was fantastic. The organic breakfast was delicious. I would certainly visit again!

Eliza and Eugene were fantastic hosts. They have a beautiful home for the b&b. And they made everyone feel at home. Would definitely go back if im in columbus again. Thanks!

I was in Columbus for the for the Virginia Tech at Ohio State game and I wanted a place to stay that was close enough to walk to the Horseshoe. I lucked into to the Neil Avenue B&B when my hotel room was canceled (and they simultaneously had a cancellation.) The accomodations are very nice in a gorgeous house. There are (generally) only three rooms available to rent. Breakfast was excellent every morning. The owners were very nice and made me feel right at home. You couldn't ask for a better experience for a football weekend!
on September 08, 2014
Wonderful hosts and wonderful accomidations.
on June 29, 2014
We really enjoyed our stay at this B&B. It is a fabulous old Victorian house, beautifully restored and filled with interesting antiques. Our room (the Gardenia Room) combined Victorian elegance with modern convenience: the bed was extremely comfortable, the shower had great pressure, and there were plenty of outlets for charging devices. The hosts are very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast is exceptional (great pancakes!). What really sets this B&B apart is the attention to detail. A glass of wine waiting for you in the upstairs salon, a full closet of toiletries, coffee available as soon as you wake up in the morning. I'm looking forward to staying here again next time I'm in Columbus.
on February 13, 2014
We thoroughly enjoyed our quick overnight stay last weekend. The hosts were wonderful. The place was in a great location and had everything we needed. Would definitely stay here again!
on December 17, 2013
Beautiful Big Victorian House. Decorated to period. Comfortable Bed. Delicious food. Very friendly host. What more could you want?

Loved the Inn. Hostess was very nice. Gave us roses when she learned it was our anniversary.

We had "Yellow Rose" no TV in your room but was not an issue for us. Great food, delicious pancakes. Enjoyed it.

Meet our Featured Athlete!
John Kinimaka and Jaimie Kinimaka-Velarde
John and Jaimie are Father and Daughter
When did you join CrossFit ParaBellum?
January 20, 2015
Favorite WOD?
John – May 4th, felt great all the way through!!!
Jaimie – My first RXD one on 4/16. Sooo hard but sooo rewarding
Least favorite WOD?
John – Badger…ugh
Jaimie – Griff
Favorite lift?
John – Clean and Jerk
Jaimie – Clean and Jerk
Least favorite lift?
John – Back Squats
Jaimie – Snatch or Overhead Squat
Tell us a little bit about yourself (family, job, sports, military, interests, etc.)
John – I am the youngest of 3 siblings and grew up with sports being important to my family…My dad was an amazing athlete (football) and he was all state both offense and defense in high school for 2 years ( 6′ 6″ 230lbs). He received a football scholarship to San Francisco State and was asked to play for the Oakland Raiders in the early 50s. Because of a back injury he didn't pursue it. My sister became an amazing track athlete and traveled the world on the U.S. Jr. Olympic team in her teens and now holds a bronze metal in the javelin from the Masters Olympics held in Finland at the age of 50…My sport was soccer as a youth and in my 20s got involved in weight lifting and later body building with my sister. Competed at an armature level and did well…Since then I have had a desire to always stay fit with weight lifting, running, biking, hiking, skiing etc… I work for the City of Patterson as the Chief Plant Operator at the Water Quality Control Facility. My interests are Christ, my wife, my daughters, son-in-laws and Family.
Jaimie – I have been a Labor & Delivery nurse for a little over 3 years now. Married to my amazing husband Arron for 2 years. We have 2 ba!bies (our dogs) lol Munch and Tootsie. Love being outdoors and love to travel.
What were you doing before CrossFit?
John – Circuit training
Jaimie – Before crossift I was doing bootcamp and classes.
What were your thoughts after your first CrossFit workout?
John – LOL, what did I get myself into!
Jaimie – After my first crossfit workout I was exhausted and didn't know if I would be able to keep up. I never thought I would be able to do a prescribed workout.
What were your goals when joining CrossFit?
John – Being able to physically perform day to day tasks free from injury and pain at maximum strength. Strengthen my back and rehab from a back injury.
Jaimie – When joining crossfit I was nervous because I have never done any weight lifting. I wanted to gain some muscle and of course tone up.
Have you achieved any of those goals?
John – Yes, day to day tasks and less back pain.
Jaimie – I have definitely achieved those goals. I'm loosing inches and feeling better in my clothes. I just feel better in general all around.
Has CrossFit affected your life?
John – More than anything, it has allowed my daughter Jaimie and I bond at a level we have never been. I really wasn't interested in cross fit, but Jaimie was and she asked if I would check it out with her. Best investment I could have ever made, our relationship is awesome and cross fit has been the vehicle that has changed my life relationally with Jaimie!!!!
Jaimie – Crossfit has had a huge impact on my life. It's finally something I'm seriously addicted to and have been dedicated to in years. I hate missing a day. All the strength training and lifting has helped me as a nurse too. It's easier to move patients and feel better on my feet during my 12 hour shifts.
What achievement are you most proud of inside the gym?
John – Max height box jump.
Jaimie – My proudest moment in the gym so far was my first RXd workout! Such a high afterwards! And of course max out Fridays! I couldn't even clean the Women's bar when I started. 3 months in I cleaned 78 pounds.
Do you have any other special memories/ achievements during your time here?
John – Watching Jaimie PR on a number of different lifts, I have NEVER seen my girl push her self so hard and make such monster gains….soooooo proud of her.
What advice would you give to a newbie just joining CrossFit ParaBellum?
John – Renee, Scott and the staff are second to none!!!! They make you feel special and they celebrate your personal records and gains with such enthusiasm. Their knowledge and training are phenomenal and they are very receptive to making sure you are protected from injury… Those who attend are encouragers and they make you feel like you are a part of a family….It definitely starts with Renee and Scott!!!
Jaimie – Some advice I would give to a newbie joining the gym would be to keep coming and give it all you got. Even if you have to modify workouts push yourself in whatever your doing!
What is your favorite thing about CrossFit ParaBellum?
John – I can't say I have a favorite thing because there are so many great things about Cross Fit Parabellum. One of the greatest feelings/things is leaving the gym knowing that you've had one kick ass workout!
Jaimie – My favorite thing about CrossFit Parabellum is how close everyone is. It really is like one big family. In the past, every gym I've been to there is always one or lots of people that think they are better than everyone and it's always a competition. I've never felt so encouraged in a gym. It's an amazing feeling. The coaches are amazing as well. Scott and Brey were great in training when we first started, especially learning all the lifts. Renee is soooo encouraging and always there to lift everyone up and help everyone reach their goals. Such a great family and amazing coaches all around! Happy to be part of this family!
This is what we do….
Sign up for a free intro class!
We could sit here and talk all day about how great our program is, and how it will change your life. The truth is, you will not really understand until you come try it. We want everyone to have a chance to come in for a free intro workout. No pressure, no commitments, just come check it out and see if you like it.
Either fill out the form below and hit submit, or give us a call at (209)565-CFPB(2372). That is the first step to changing your life!
What people are saying about CFPB…
Traci Liston – Crossfit Parabellum has helped me improve my all around fitness level with their encouraging training style and paying attention to my individual progress to eliminate plateaus. Read More…
Dan Burch – CrossFit changed my life for the better. It's difficult to explain to others how CF is not "just a workout" and a CF box is not "just a gym". To me CrossFit is a choice, a choice to be more self reliant, more self confident, and much less self-effacing . Donna, Sam and I have always been close and our shared experience with CrossFit has brought us even closer. CF has changed me in more ways than I could possibly describe or recount. However if I tried I'd say CrossFit has radically changed my health, mental outlook, nutrition, relationships, hobbies (not to mention vacation plans), values and mindset. Not too shabby.
