Outstanding 4.8 /5 from 39 reviews
Every thing was 5 star except room other than master bedroom which was a joke , its basically children room , bed size is aweful and no king or qeen bed , two seperate bed combined for couple , so its a family pent house suite not good for 2 couples as one will get master bedroom and other with lame bedroom, apart from that everything i mean litreally everything was Top Class .
Amazing hotel with top rate service. Excellent and luxurious rooms that you will not want to leave. We had a suite that was beautiful!
We were travelling as a family with our two college-age girls so booked a 2 bedroom suite with a private pool. The suite was truly spectacular - probably 2,000 square feet in space including a living room, kitchen, 2 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms along with an outdoor deck and private pool with a view of the ocean. The room was just perfect and probably one of the best places we have stayed. The property included a restaurant (Silk) with great food and wonderful service, along with work-out facilities and a spa. We took advantage of all of the above during our brief 3 night stay on the island. Our only downside was that the monsoons came early and we had very little sun while being on the island.
The standard of accommodation was excellent. The Thai restaurant, Silk, of good quality. Set just outside the town but easily accessible. Great views.
Excellent stay in Andara Resort Villas. We stayed in the Residence side and it is already fantastic from the services, cleanliness environment to the ocean beach view. We booked a 3 Bedroom Pool Suite, which is very spacious in size as it has a kitchen, dining, and living room. The Silk Restaurant food was really good (especially enjoyed the breakfast and the pad thai we ordered from room services). Location wise it is close to Patong beach and Fantasea so major tourist locations are within driving distance. The only downside we really had is the pool step design inside the suite. As it used rough cement material with sharp edges, couple of us had scratches and cuts when stepping out of the pool. Want to say special thanks to the front desk staffs for their help as we had a small mishap and they were really professional to organize our late checkout and communicated with our issue. Overall fantastic experience as it far exceeded our expectations and we will definitely come back again!

My children like to play Minecraft and they often like to play with their friends and cousins who are remote. To do so in the past I would set up my laptop at the house, set up port forwarding on the router, etc. This would often not work as the router would not accept the changes, my laptop firewall was on etc. Instead I decided to shift all this to the cloud. In this particular example I will be using Google Cloud Engine since it allows you to have persistent disks. To minimize costs I will automate creation and destruction of minecraft server(s) using Hashicorp's Terraform.
All the terraform template and files can be found in this specific Github Repo
You will need to sign up for a Google Cloud account. You may also optionally buy a domain name from a registrar so that you don't need to enter IP addresses in your minecraft client. If you do so rename dns.tf.disabled to dns.tf and change this section
variable "domain_name" { description = "Domain Name" default = "change_to_the_domain_name_you_bought.xyz" }
As described in the README what this set of templates will do is create a persistent disk where you will store your gameplay and spin up a minecraft server just for that time being. When you want to play you will need to type
make create
and when you are done playing you will type
make destroy
Cost of this should be minimal. In the TF template I'm setting a persistent disk of size of 10 GB (change that in main.tf if you need to). That will cost you approximately $0.40 per month. On top of it you'd be paying for g1.small instance cost which is about $0.02 per hour. You can certainly opt for a faster instance by adjusting the instance size in main.tf file. Also if you are using DNS there will be DNS query costs but those should be minimal.
Have fun.

I was working with a customer trying to configure Fastly's Log Streaming and ship logs to their Rsyslog server. Fastly supports sending Syslog over TLS however it appeared that TLS handshake was not succeeding as we would end up with gibberish in the logs e.g.
May 3 13:22:08 192.168.0.10 #001#000#000M#033#000#020#023#000#001#000#000#016log.domain.com#000#002#000#005#001#000#000#000#000
I looked over a number of different guides with no luck. After trying a number of different things I ended up with a following configuration. This was tested on RSyslog 7 and 8.
auth,authpriv.* /var/log/auth.log *.*;auth,authpriv.none -/var/log/openandclick.log kern.* -/var/log/kern.log mail.* -/var/log/mail.log # # Emergencies are sent to everybody logged in. # *.emerg :omusrmsg:* # Setup disk assisted queues $WorkDirectory /var/log/spool # where to place spool files $ActionQueueFileName fwdRule1 # unique name prefix for spool files $ActionQueueMaxDiskSpace 1g # 1gb space limit (use as much as possible) $ActionQueueSaveOnShutdown on # save messages to disk on shutdown $ActionQueueType LinkedList # run asynchronously $ActionResumeRetryCount -1 # infinite retries if host is down #RsyslogGnuTLS # CA certificate store. Uses generic Debian/Ubuntu CA store $DefaultNetstreamDriverCAFile /etc/ssl/certs/ca-certificates.crt $DefaultNetstreamDriverCertFile /etc/letsencrypt/archive/log.domain.com/fullchain1.pem $DefaultNetstreamDriverKeyFile /etc/letsencrypt/archive/log.domain.com/privkey1.pem $DefaultNetstreamDriver gtls module(load="imtcp" streamdriver.mode="1" streamdriver.authmode="anon") input(type="imtcp" port="5144" name="tcp-tls")
It will use the TLS certificate from /etc/letsencrypt and listen to TLS requests on port 5144. There is no client authentication ie. authmode=anon. If you want to authenticate clients you will need to change authmode to e.g.
streamdriver.authMode="name" streamdriver.permittedpeer=["test1.example.net", "test.example.net"]

Let's Encrypt (LE) is a new service started by Internet Security Research Group (ISRG) to offer free SSL certificates. It's intended to be automated so that you can obtain a certificate quickly and easily. Currently however LE requires installation of their client software which makes a request to their API for a domain you want to secure then generates a random script that it puts at a random Web Path for the domain so that LE backend servers can check them. In a nutshell to get a certificate for domain myhost.mydomain.xyz LE client will require you add predetermined text at a URL they provide e.g.
If that matches you have validated you are the owner of the domain and LE issues you a certificate. More detail on how it works can be found here.
Difficulty is that in order to automate this process you either
In following section I will describe a method on how to do this with Google Cloud Engine (GCE) Load balancer since it supports conditional URL path matching. You could also do something very similar with other load balancers such as Varnish or Haproxy.
Conceptually what we'll do is
To make configuration easy I will be using https://www.terraform.io since it greatly simplifies this process. This process also assumes you are already running GCE load balancer against the domain you are trying to secure.
First we'll need to create an instance template. I am using the Google Container Engine images as they already come with Docker installed.
variable "gce_image_le" { description = "The name of the image for Let's Encrypt." default = "google-containers/container-vm-v20160321" } resource "google_compute_instance_template" "lets-encrypt" { name = "lets-encrypt" machine_type = "f1-micro" can_ip_forward = false tags = [ "letsencrypt", "no-ip" ] disk { source_image = "${var.gce_image_le}" auto_delete = true } network_interface { network = "${var.gce_network}" # No ephemeral IP. Use bastion to log into the instance } metadata { startup-script = "${file("scripts/letsencrypt-init")}" } }
You will notice I am using a startup script (scripts/letsencrypt-init) inside this instance template which looks like this
apt-get update apt-get install -y apache2 rm -f /var/www/index.html touch /var/www/index.html docker pull quay.io/letsencrypt/letsencrypt:latest mkdir /root/ssl-keys echo "email = email@example.com" > /root/ssl-keys/cli.ini
Basically I'm just preinstalling Apache and pulling the Let's Encrypt Client Docker Image.
Next step is to create an Instance Group Manager (IGM) and Autoscaler. Instance group manager defines what instance template is gonna be used and base instance name whereas autoscaler starts up instances in IGM and makes sure there is one replica running. Last step is to define the backend service and attach IGM to it.
resource "google_compute_instance_group_manager" "lets-encrypt-instance-group-manager" { name = "lets-encrypt-instance-group-manager" instance_template = "${google_compute_instance_template.lets-encrypt-instance-template.self_link}" base_instance_name = "letsencrypt" zone = "${var.gce_zone}" named_port { name = "http" port = 80 } } resource "google_compute_autoscaler" "lets-encrypt-as" { name = "lets-encrypt-as" zone = "${var.gce_zone_1_fantomtest}" target = "${google_compute_instance_group_manager.lets-encrypt-instance-group-manager.self_link}" autoscaling_policy = { max_replicas = 1 min_replicas = 1 cooldown_period = 60 cpu_utilization = { target = 0.5 } } } resource "google_compute_backend_service" "lets-encrypt-backend-service" { name = "lets-encrypt-backend-service" port_name = "http" protocol = "HTTP" timeout_sec = 10 region = "us-central1" backend { group = "${google_compute_instance_group_manager.lets-encrypt-instance-group-manager.instance_group}" } health_checks = ["${google_compute_http_health_check.fantomtest.self_link}"] }
Next thing we'll need to do is change the URL map for the load balancer. Basically we'll send anything matching /.well-known/* to our LE backend service. My URL map is called fantomtest that by default uses the fantomtest backend service. This means any requests that don't match /.well-known/ will end up on my default backend service (which is what we want)
resource "google_compute_url_map" "fantomtest" { name = "fantomtest-url-map" description = "Fantomtest URL map" default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.fantomtest.self_link}" # Add Letsencrypt host_rule { hosts = ["*"] path_matcher = "letsencrypt-paths" } path_matcher { default_service = "${google_compute_backend_service.fantomtest.self_link}" name = "letsencrypt-paths" path_rule { paths = ["/.well-known/*"] service = "${google_compute_backend_service.lets-encrypt-backend-service.self_link}" } } }
Terraform apply it and if you have been successful you should see the letsencrypt service become healthy.
Now log into the instance running the LE client and run
docker run -it -v "$(pwd)/ssl-keys:/etc/letsencrypt" -v "/var/www:/var/www" quay.io/letsencrypt/letsencrypt:latest \ certonly --webroot -w /var/www -d www.mydomain.xyz
If you get
- Congratulations! Your certificate and chain have been saved at /etc/letsencrypt/live/www.mydomain.xyz/fullchain.pem. Your cert will expire on 2016-07-17. To obtain a new version of the
You are done and your certificate will be found in ssl-keys/live/www.mydomain.xyz/fullchain.pem. By default LE issues certificates with validity of 90 days and they will nag you starting 30 days before expiration to update them. I will leave it as an excercise to the reader to automate this. Do note that if you are gonna automate pushing certificates make sure you validate the full chain to make sure things look good.

A number of months ago Stephan Seidt @evilhackerdude posed a question on Twitter if it was possible to use Fastly to sign requests going to AWS Lambda. For those who do not know what AWS Lambda is here is Wikipedia's succinct explanation
AWS Lambda is a compute service that runs code in response to events and automatically manages the compute resources required by that code. The purpose of Lambda, as opposed to AWS EC2, is to simplify building smaller, on-demand applications that are responsive to events and new information. AWS targets starting a Lambda instance within milliseconds of an event.
AWS Lambda was designed for use cases such as image upload, responding to website clicks or reacting to output from a connected device. AWS Lambda can also be used to automatically provision back-end services triggered by custom requests.
Unlike Amazon EC2, which is priced by the hour, AWS Lambda is metered in increments of 100 milliseconds.
Initially I thought this was not going to be possible since I thought I could only make asynchronous calls however Stephan pointed out that there was a way to invoke synchronous calls as well since that is what AWS API Gateway does to expose Lambda functions.
In order to be able to send requests to Lambda you would need to sign requests going to Lambda. AWS has gone through a number of versions of their signing API however for most services today you will need to use signature version 4. SIGV4 API relies on a number of HMAC and hashing functions that are not in stock varnish but are available in the Libvmod-Digest VMOD if you are deploying your VCL on Fastly this VMOD is already built it.
You can find full VCL for signing requests to Lambda here
This code has some Fastly specific macros and functions which you can upload as custom VCL however most of the heavy lifting is done inside the aws4_lambda_sign_request subroutine so if you are using stock varnish copy that. Things to change in the vcl_recv are
set req.http.access_key = "CHANGEME"; set req.http.secret_key = "CHANGEME";
Change those with your AWS credentials that have access to Lambda. You can also change the region where you functions run. In addition you will need to come up with a way to map incoming URLs to Lambda functions. In my sample VCL I am using Fastly's Edge Dictionaries e.g.
table url_mapping { "/": "/2015-03-31/functions/homePage/invocations", "/test": "/2015-03-31/functions/test/invocations", } # If no match req.url will be set to /LAMBDA_Not_Found set req.url = table.lookup(url_mapping, req.url.path, "/LAMBDA_Not_Found" ); # If page has not been found we just throw out a 404 if ( req.url == "/LAMBDA_Not_Found" ) { error 404 "Page not found"; }
varnishadm param.set form_post_body 16384
set resp.http.Content-Type = "text/html";
Look into using something like libvmod-curl VMOD to create POST requests on the fly.

A new media-tracking technology uses the cameras built into computers and mobile devices to track uses' eye movements, allowing brands to monitor whether they're actually looking at their ads.

It doesn't mean a consumer is actually looking at your ad," Bander says.

Our contribution is amoung some astounding artists that include, Alex Crocker, Sam Windett, Ryan Mosley, Caroline Achaintre, John Finneran and many more. You can even download one of our artworks for the next two months from their website here - http://ambitmagazine.co.uk/download-artwork
Ambit is a London-based 96 page literary and art magazine that features poetry, prose and art. We strive to feature fresh voices and visions from across the world, placing first-time writers alongside giants of the scene. Started in 1959 by the London paediatrician Dr Martin Bax, the magazine helped discover and establish Edwin Brock, Carol Ann Duffy, JG Ballard, Eduardo Paolozzi, William Burroughs, Fleur Adcock, Liz Berry and Sir Peter Blake among others.
In these changing times, it was truly wonderful to be part of the launch night on Tuesday, where young poets performed their pieces with artistic onlookers and listeners. It seems in these changing times, poetry is increasingly becoming an important outlet for vocal frustrations, love, loss and life. Language is so important in the era where fiction controls fact.

Happy New Year - Welcome 2017
So the new year begins, and I must say what a beautiful start to 2017 I have had. I have a feeling that this year is going to be different, full of many adventures with much hope and positivity. Only six days in and the hope I draw on, is from all the great people in my life who share the same values. I see that there is strength in humanity, even in times of great turmoil and that although the journey is full of ups and downs, when we truly believe, we can join together and try and push for change. Because to try, is to open your mind to new things and be educated by others; 2017 is surely that for me.
December saw a wealth of inspiration and I was delighted to have worked on a special commission with the Tonhalle Düsseldorf, so as the new year starts, I see the final artworks in the context they were produced for, in the Oton programme magazine. It was an absolute pleasure to work with Shahin, Sina and of course all at the Tonhalle. In the coming months I hope this collaboration will grow, exciting plans dance in the background.
The year has started well and projects are well on their way with many more in the balance, so do watch this space for news, updates and invitations to exhibitions throughout 2017.

New Commission - Modest Mussorgsky "Pictures At An Exhibition" For The Tonhalle Düsseldorf
I am absolutely delighted to announce my new commission, working with the incredible Tonhalle Düsseldorf to create two new pieces in response to the classical master piece that is Modest Mussorgsky's "Pictures At An Exhibition," in particular a reworking of the movement, Goldenberg and Schmuÿle. Bringing two of the most important things to me together, Classical music and contemporary artistic practice, I can honestly say has been one of the most deeply inspirational things I have ever worked on, and I know that this is the beginning of a long and exciting journey.
Departing from the idea that the contemporary image is deeply photographic and using the tangible experience of listening to the music, I have found a way in which the classical movement can be physically translated into imagery. In essence I am changing sound waves into light and capturing their chaotic, yet deeply ordered transformation from solid matter to continuous motion. Science is at play, as Cymatics, a term coined by Hans Jenny, release their subsets of modal vibrational phenomena through graphite, powder pigment and ink. In constant flux, these changing compositions are momentarily captured as the fleeting seconds past from one wave to another.
The works will form part of the concert, in a form of a publication and which be available from Friday 16 December, when Modest Mussorgsky "Pictures At An Exhibition" orchestrated version by Ravel will be played by the Düsseldorf Symphony Orchestra. Such a delight in every sense, and a huge thank you to all at the Tonhalle it has been an absolute pleasure to work with you all.

Lunar Caustic Now Available On - 北京银矿
It has been a very long time since I have posted anything, I think 2016 has seen so many shifts, I must admit it is rather difficult for normality to continue. I can however say that the last few months have seen much development and I am very excited to see what 2017 has to offer, with much planned already, next year really is going to be rather fun!
November saw the Redeye Talk and Workshop which I found to be immensely engaging and working some some wonderful photographic artists with their thoughtful visions and promise, it was a truly rewarding and warming experience. Manchester is also a really good city, with friendly warmth that often lacks from the Southern big smoke.
In other news, as Thomas Sauvin launches his new Beijing Silvermine website, we both excitingly continue on our collaborative journey, with more than 350, 000 new images to digest and edit, a new chapter for Lunar Caustic is arriving in early 2017.

New Talk & Workshop - Redeye Weekend - 18th & 19th November 2016 - Tickets Now Available
I am delighted to be working with Redeye in November to do an Evening Talk and Workshop with a Critique on the weekend of the 18th and 19th November in Manchester. Tickets are available now and it is sure to be a fun, inspired packed weekend discussing the changes in the photographic medium and how alternative processes can release a new found freedom in an artist's journey. Please find below some information about both events and what to expect.
Photographic artist Melinda Gibson joins Redeye to talk about her unique approach to photography.
Through her work with found imagery, Melinda Gibson takes an experimental approach to the form, creating 'visual remixes' that force the viewer to reconsider the medium and its canon. 'By slicing, cutting and de-contextualising the images I start to gain a greater appreciation of the works; I start understanding why and how these images have been created.' - Melinda Gibson.
In this event, Melinda will talk about her recent project, Lunar Caustic, where she collaborated with Thomas Sauvin on thousands of salvaged, neglected negatives, and discuss more generally her artistic process and approach to the medium.
The following day Melinda will give a group critique and workshop. Melinda will work with 10 photographers/photographic artists, helping them to gain new perspectives on a recent project or body of work and will help participants to reconsider their practice and gain new perspectives on a project.
Please see here for more detailed information on both events and links to purchase the tickets.

Marvellous Marrakech
I've just returned from an incredible trip to Marrakech, and to say that this city is inspiring is certainly an under statement. Marrakech has always been one of those cities that I've dreamt of adventuring too and with so much visual imagery that surrounds Morocco as a country, I knew that it was time to pack my bags and head off on an 8 day adventure!
As we flew into the airport I was immediately stuck by the colours and heat that greet you. That feeling you get as you of walk down the steps and a wave of heat hits you is something that I honestly say feels me with joy, I am sure I was made for hot climates, London is just too cold. The moment your feet touch the tarmac there is a sense of ease, calm and relaxation, there is of course bureaucracy, but nothing as strict as what we are currently use too and this for me is always a welcomed retreat. A driver picks us up and immediately we are whizzed away to our Riad in the centre of the Medina, not one for the faint hearted, but I couldn't imagine being based anywhere else. The hustle and bustle, the colours and smells, and being in walking distance of all the city has to offer, it was just perfect.
As you enter the Medina, the city unfolds, every which way you turn this wonderful vibrant deep pink envelopes the facades and Marrakech plays out in front of your eyes. Almost theatrical in many ways, bicycles circle in between you as Souk holders sing out to visitors, a rhythm starts to enter your soul as your sense are drawn to the vibrancy of the city. Thick spice smells fill the air as sweet pastries tempt your tastebuds and pink dust flows around your toes, I've arrived and it's just wonderful.
As the sun rises and sets, each day brings a new adventure. We walk everywhere we go, so really getting a sense of the city and the locals that inhabit it. It's hot and haze re-adjusts your focus, every corner you turn another opportunity to capture something, a photo here, a photo there, the city is so visually inspiring you have to remind yourself to stop, pause and look up and out. We visit the stunning Majorelle Jardins, created by Jacques Majorelle and later taken over by Yves Saint Laurent. This tropical oasis centred around an 1920's studio that is encapsulated with the most unbelievable blue, there aren't any words that can describe seeing this colour, you really have to see it to believe it.
We visit the Bahia Palace and walk around the Royal Palace, (a fair few times as navigation is lost!) but as we loose sight of directions, we wonder into the most inspiring streets, only filled with locals and two London artists. As the days roll by we plan more adventures and take a trip to the Atlas Mountains and trek for 2 hours with a local up to 2100 meters, and travel out to the desert to see the Unesco World Heritage site, Ksar of Ait-Ben-Haddou which dates back to the 17 Century. These two days where absolutely astounding and I feel honoured to have seen them.
Morocco is an incredible country, filled with warmth and generosity and reminds us of the good of humanity. One of the lasting memories for me will be the 'call to pray' every day that echoes from one Mosque to another in the city. A call that made me feel alive, and honoured to be able to listen to the chants, truly beautiful. As a Muslim county, they have sadly seen a stark decline in tourism which deeply saddens me and was reiterated by each and every local we meet. I only hope and wish that this will disperse and people will believe in the good of humankind, no matter what country, religion or political persuasion, Marrakech you are Marvellous.

Brilliantly Berlin
Last week I decided it was time to escape London and spend a long weekend discovering and enjoying the delights of the brilliant city, Berlin. Having flown into Berlin, many times, but only spending 12 hours in the city altogether, it was about time to really immerse myself, so that is exactly what I did!
Flying in on Thursday morning I was greeted with beautiful sunny skies and hot temperatures as the heat wave in London travelled with me to Germany. Stepping off the plane at Tegel and heading into the centre I was automatically struck by the huge sense of relief, I had left London. I haven't posted much in the last month, to be honest, I haven't had many words to describe the events of the past month, but as I put my first step onto European soil (Airport tarmac), I felt like I was home. A warm openness embraced me, a feeling London had lacked for sometime now and it made me realise just how far as a city we need to grow, I really was having a Brexit holiday!
Everyday was filled with a wealth of walking, research and inspiration. From the moment I arrived into the city to the moment I left, I soaked up everything Berlin had to offer. Thursday and Friday saw days full of culture, visiting many exhibitions, CO Berlin, with its excellent show by Adam Jeppesen to the Martin-Gropius-Bau Berliner Festspiele, and the out of this world No It Is! show by William Kentridge. The Kentridge exhibition was more than words can explain. It is as if you are transported into his mind, pushed and pulled in every direction, every sense touched and expanded. There is such energy to his work, a fluidity that is hard to beat and an awareness of how sound and visuals interlink, they draw out the deepest depths of your psyche. I was taken beyond inspiration, into a world where everything was possible. Astounding.
Saturday and Sunday saw many a breakfast, lunch and dinner with friends in the sun. From Mitte, to Kreuzberg to Brandenburger Tor to a trip to Berliner Fernsehturm I walked the city and enjoyed the wide open streets, gazed into the distant histories still present and took time to really contemplate the dark days that city had seen, through the concrete columns of the Denkmal für die ermordeten Juden Europas. It was a trip that was filled with all the things that make me feel alive and reminds me of how dark days still linger closer than we'd like. It's why tolerance, inclusion and solidarity are ever more important in our changing political landscape. Berlin you are beautiful.

Installation Shots From Paris - Galerie Binôme
Delighted to show you some installation shots from my current group exhibition, Second Hands at Galerie Binôme. Only a few days left to see this lovely show in Paris as it closes on Saturday 23rd July, don't miss it!

Next Liberation, L'Oeil De La Photographie, Photo Mag - Press From "Second Hands" exhibit In Paris
This is the last week to see the exhibition Second Hands in Paris at Galerie Binome, closing on 23rd July. The exhibition is attracting good press with articles featured in Next Liberation, L'Oeil De La Photographie, Photo Mag, France Fine Art and Paris Art, which is great to see. As the sun continues to shine, I look forward to seeing the transformation of the colours, the silver nitrate and the new marks that will have appeared on the prints, as they continue to twist and turn in their organic state.
Press articles can be found here:
Excerpt taken from L'Oeil De La Photographie;
"Ces fragments de photos retournés sont littéralement utilisés comme de la peinture et déposés au pinceau sur la toile. Un effet pictural que l'on retrouve dans les images à quatre mains de Melinda Gibson et Thomas Sauvin. Les photographies de la collection Silvermine1, sauvées de la ruine, sont reconsidérées au seuil de leur disparition. Elles sont comme gelées entre deux états, une partie étant sauvegardée et une partie détruite par les composants mêmes, acides et nitrates d'argent, qui proviennent des cuves de recyclage qui devaient les dissoudre. Le résultat final aléatoire est le reflet de la nature instable des négatifs, où de la matière organique se développe progressivement en surface.
Par tous ces jeux, de la fragmentation, du délitement et/ou de l'accumulation, ces artistes bouleversent nos habitudes en matière d'appréhension et de lecture des images. Les liens avec le réel en sont distendus et les frontières de la photographie repoussées, voire dépassées. Leurs œuvres abordent les questions du montré et du caché, du visible et de l'invisible, du privé et du public, de la mémoire et de la fiction, en résonance avec les enjeux contemporains en matière de recyclage. Elles nous invitent à réfléchir sur le statut et le rôle des images dans une société qui les surproduit et proposent, à leur manière, des modes de résistance à l'obsolescence programmée qui régit nos vies."

New Exhibition - 'Second Hands' Opens In Paris At Galerie Binome On Thursday 26th May From 18:00
I am very pleased to announce that my collaborative project, Lunar Caustic will be part of a new exhibition in Paris that opens at Galerie Binome on Thursday 26th May. The exhibition, Second Hands presents artists that look to use the tactility of the found image to push forward ideas surrounding transmission, transfer and transformation within the changing landscape of contemporary visual language. Here is a section from the press release below;
"Sous le commissariat de Sophie Bernard, la sélection réunit des photographes et des artistes, mais également des éditeurs et collectionneurs. À partir de corpus d'images anciennes, négatifs ou tirages, ils font œuvre et établissent d'autres rapports au visible. Détachés d'un pathos matérialiste qui viendrait sacraliser ces images primaires oubliées ou tombées dans l'anonymat, ils reconsidèrent les qualités de ces matériaux, vieillis et un peu sales pour les recycler, les détourner et les hybrider..."

From shell shock to Shellac: the Great War, blindness, and Britain's Talking Book Library
Matthew Rubery explains how the Great War, which had caused death and destruction on a scale previously unimagined, resulted in the creation of the talking book.The story of the talking book in Britain has yet to be told. Accessible reading formats for people with vision impairments had long been sought by the time sound-recording technology made it possible to record a full-length book on a set of gramophone records. One publication from the 1930s described "the inability to read" as the greatest handicap imposed by blindness. Embossed books allowed some people to overcome this hardship. But raised type offered no help to people who couldn't read Braille, and depended instead on volunteers to read aloud to them. Their plight received public attention after the return of soldiers who had lost their eyesight during the First World War.
The War was a catalyst for reconceptualizing blind veterans and civilians alike. Blinded servicemen returning from the War gave a degree of urgency to problems of literacy that had long been tolerated. Before the War, blindness had been regrettable and unfortunate, but it was not a problem for which the public bore any direct responsibility. The War changed all that. The British public owed a debt to the disabled ex-servicemen who had sacrificed their eyesight defending the country. In the absence of state compensation, disabled veterans relied on philanthropic organizations for treatment and rehabilitation. Campaigns to raise funds on behalf of veterans reminded the public of its obligation to make the lives of disabled veterans tolerable by supplying them with entertainment including books.
Captain Ian Fraser first conceived of a talking book while listening to a gramophone at St Dunstan's, a charity for the rehabilitation of blinded ex-servicemen. Fraser joined St. Dunstan's after being shot through the eyes by a German sniper at the Battle of the Somme in July 1916; he went on to become the organization's Chairman at the age of 24. Once there, he began experimenting with a Dictaphone, a device used to record speech onto wax cylinders. Working with a recording engineer in a makeshift studio at St Dunstan's, Fraser recited scraps of poetry and speeches. As Fraser writes in his autobiography: "These were really the first talking-book records, and were the first beginnings of the Talking Book."
New forms of sound-recording technology such as the long-playing (LP) record presented an opportunity to remake the book for the ears instead of the eyes. Still, veterans had to wait more than a decade after the War for a technological alternative to reading aloud. Before the 1930s, records were unsuitable for books, since they could play only for a few minutes; the LP was not ready for the commercial market until 1948. Blind people benefited from the technology more than a decade earlier, however, when the National Institute of the Blind (now RNIB) and St Dunstan's, working with record labels such as the Gramophone Company (later HMV), succeeded in making discs capable of playing at the reduced speed of 24 revolutions per minute (rpm).
In 1934, the NIB and St Dunstan's announced their intention to launch the talking book service. The talking book was now within the bounds of possibility thanks to advances such as electrical recording in the gramophone, radio, and film industries. Talking books could, at last, be made at a reasonable cost. Fraser had also learned that the American Foundation for the Blind had begun its own talking book programme. As he told readers of St Dunstan's Review, "I do not want to excite undue hopes, but I think that in the near future it may be possible to establish a Library of Talking Books." Shortly afterward, this Library began at a rudimentary studio in Regent's Park. The studio was described by Fraser as "a hut in my own garden, which I used to use as a workshop". There, Anthony McDonald recorded Britain's first talking book.
The Talking Book Library began on 1 August 1935. Membership was restricted to those registered as blind and anyone else who was unable to read ordinary books. Yet the Talking Book Library hardly resembled other libraries. Its books required custom-made machinery in order to be read, and talking books cost more to manufacture than printed books. Funding was scarce, since the service received no public subsidy. Whereas the United States Library of Congress received funding from the government, the NIB and St. Dunstan's relied entirely on private donations from Lord Nuffield, the Carnegie United Kingdom Trust, and the Pilgrim Trust. They were among the many philanthropic organizations that helped rehabilitate wounded veterans in the absence of state support.
Talking books went out to readers on 7 November 1935, nearly one year after the distribution of similar records in the United States. They were considerably larger than their print counterparts. Each title consisted of a set of 12-inch shellac gramophone discs that could play for approximately 25 minutes per side; the average book took up 10 double-sided records, which were shipped at no cost to borrowers, who had only to pay the return postage. Membership was free to anyone who purchased (or received through charity) one of three different models of talking book machines: an electric gramophone; a mechanical model requiring no electricity; and a model designed for use with headphones. Machines were sold at cost price, and St. Dunstan's subsidized £1 of each machine purchased by veterans. By the end of September 1937, talking book machines had been delivered to nearly a thousand of Britain's soldiers and civilians.
The Library's catalogue adhered closely to the public taste for printed books. The first talking books were Agatha Christie's The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Joseph Conrad's Typhoon, and The Gospel According to St John. Titles were chosen for their broad appeal and resembled those in other popular fiction series begun the same year. Agatha Christie, for example, was among the first authors in the Penguin paperbacks series too. Little thought was given to their relevance to a blind readership, with the exception of Axel Munthe's The Story of San Michele, described as "a modern masterpiece that has a particular interest for all blind people" because its author was himself blind. Outside sponsorship also influenced the selection. The Gospel According to St John was the first part of the Bible recorded because the British and Foreign Bible Society offered to pay for it. At the end of the Library's first year, it held 55 complete works (24 recorded in Britain, 31 in America). Recipients were nearly unanimous in their enthusiasm for the recordings, though many complained about the limited inventory.
The talking book represented the first practical and affordable means of literacy for the majority of blind people who were unable to read Braille and depended on other people to read to them. The need for technological assistance became increasingly evident after the return of blinded soldiers from the First World War who were forced to make the transition from able-bodied citizens into objects of charity, dependent on others. The plight of these veterans prompted St Dunstan's and the NIB to test various mechanical reading devices throughout the 1920s and 1930s that would ultimately benefit all blind people. Blind and partially sighted people faced many difficulties after the War. The Talking Book Service was part of the ongoing campaign to ensure that access to books was not one of them.
The oldest surviving talking books can be heard on the Audiobook History blog. A longer essay on the history of Britain's Talking Book Library is available here and as a PDF.
Matthew Rubery is Reader in Nineteenth-Century Literature at Queen Mary University of London. He is the author of The Novelty of Newspapers: Victorian Fiction after the Invention of the News (2009), editor of Audiobooks, Literature, and Sound Studies (2011), and co-editor of Secret Commissions: An Anthology of Victorian Investigative Journalism (2012). His current project is The Untold Story of the Talking Book.
RNIB will be celebrating 80 years of its Talking Book Service in 2015 and is working to enable more people to read more content in more formats than ever before.

Try the latest Photoshop Elements Explore Elements product suite
The Hue/Saturation command adjusts the hue (color), saturation (purity), and lightness of the entire image or of individual color components in an image.
Use the Hue slider to add special effects, to color a black and white image (like a sepia effect), or to change the range of colors in a portion of an image.
Use the Saturation slider to make colors more vivid or more muted. For example, you could add a color punch to a landscape by saturating the colors in it. Or, tone down a distracting color, like a vivid red sweater in a portrait.
Use the Lightness slider with the other adjustments to lighten or darken a portion of an image. Take care not to use it on an entire image—this adjustment reduces the overall tonal range.
By default, the color range selected when you choose a color component is 30° wide, with 30° color fall-off on either side. Setting the fall-off too low can produce banding in the image.
To edit the range by choosing colors from the image, select the color picker, and click the image. Use the color picker + tool to add to the range; use the color picker – tool to subtract from the range.
The Adjust Color For Skin Tone command adjusts the overall color in a photo to bring out more natural skin tones. When you click an area of skin in the photo, Photoshop Elements adjusts the skin tone—as well as all other colors in the photo. You can manually adjust the brown and red colors separately to achieve the final color you want.
Increases or decreases color saturation. Choose Saturate to intensify the color's saturation. In grayscale, Saturate increases contrast. Choose Desaturate to dilute the color's saturation. In grayscale, Desaturate decreases contrast.
Sets the brush tip. Click the arrow next to the brush sample, choose a brush category from the Brushes pop‑up menu, and then select a brush thumbnail.
The Replace Color command replaces a specific color in an image. You can set the hue, saturation, and lightness of the replacement color.
The Convert To Black And White command lets you choose a specific conversion style to be applied to the image. This is unlike the Remove Color command, which automatically converts to black and white for you.
In the Convert To Black And White dialog box, the available image styles help you compare and choose from different conversion presets. Select a style and then use the available sliders to fine-tune the conversion.
The Remove Color command converts to black and white by assigning equal red, green, and blue values to each pixel in an RGB image. The overall brightness of each pixel remains constant. This command has the same effect as setting Saturation to -100 in the Hue/Saturation dialog box.
You can manually add custom presets to the black and white converter by editing a specific text file.
Adding custom presets for conversion to black and white is a task for advanced users.
You can colorize an entire grayscale image, or select areas to colorize with different colors. For example, you can select a person's hair and color it brown, and then add pink to the person's cheeks after making another selection.
If the image you are coloring is in grayscale mode, convert it into RGB by choosing Image > Mode > RGB Color.

This review is from: Rosewill RK-9000RE - Mechanical Keyboard with Cherry MX Red Switches
Got it on sale for $68. Use it at work and it feels great. Solidly constructed, tank-like.
No clicky-feedback, but if you are buying Cherry Reds you already knew that.
Other Thoughts:
I also have a Das Blue and Das Brown. The Das Brown is my current favorite, but for half the price the Rosewill is fantastic. My next purchase will be the Rosewill Cherry Black model.

Wave's season ends with final-minute letdowns
Five seconds was all that was keeping the Milwaukee Wave from advancing to its third straight MISL championship series.
Just one more save, or even a block, Sunday at the U.S. Cellular Arena and the Wave would face Baltimore in a rematch of the last two finals.
Instead, Milwaukee's season, which included a share of the regular-season title and a franchise-record 16-game winning streak, came to a crushing end.
All thanks to Missouri's Byron Alvarez, whose goal lifted the Comets to a stunning 5-4 victory in the third and final game of the first-round playoff series.
To make matters worse, the Comets also shocked the Wave by scoring the go-ahead goal with just 34 seconds left in Game 2, which was held beforehand.
"I feel bad for my guys," Wave coach Keith Tozer said. "I've always told them there's a fine line between winning and losing."
Milwaukee was 12-1 at The Cell this season with the only loss to Missouri in the home opener. The second-seeded Wave finished eight games ahead of the third-seeded Comets in the standings and also eliminated them in the last two playoffs.
And the Wave also had all the momentum after rallying from a 10-point deficit in Game 1 on Thursday to steal a 12-10 overtime victory.
"Shoot, we probably played our best game in Kansas City on Thursday," Missouri coach Kevin Roentved said.
After falling behind, 3-0, in Game 3 - which consisted of one 15-minute period - Milwaukee held a 4-3 lead with 5:34 left after goals by Luan Oliveira and Hewerton.
With time running out and Missouri's sixth-attacker on the field, Alvarez fired a shot from the left wing that was so hard it actually knocked down Milwaukee's Joe Hammes after he blocked it.
The ball bounced back to Alvarez, and this time his long shot was tipped out of bounds by leaping goalkeeper Marcel Feenstra.
Missouri called timeout with 5 seconds left to discuss its restart play from the right corner.
"I told Coach, 'You know what? I'm feeling it,' " Alvarez said.
Missouri sent two men toward the net "to get the defenders distracted," according to Alvarez. Milan Ivanovic started the play by passing the ball to Alvarez, who scored on a low, right-footed shot from just inside the arc of the goalie box.
"I was debating putting (a defender) on the wall, but when you go one on the wall and they've got an extra attacker out there, you've got to make the ball go outside of the wall first. Which we did," Tozer said. "The ball went outside first. And then we didn't block it, I think it went through a couple sets of legs, underneath the keeper and what are you going to do? You make the save, you make the block and that's the way you should end it. If not, that's the way sports is."
Missouri got a 9-8 victory in Game 2, which included three goals that were inadvertently knocked in by Milwaukee players.
Leo Gibson's winning goal with 34 seconds left actually bounced off the foot of JP Rodrigues, which froze Feenstra and allowed the ball to roll between his left leg and the right post.
"I was just about to step to the other side and I got stuck, so I couldn't move anymore and it just went past my leg," Feenstra said.
Missouri 2 0 3 4 - 9

A backpack containing products used to manufacture methamphetamine was turned into the Harrison County Sheriff's Department Thursday, Sept. 22.
According to Deputy Nathan Gasser, a man who claimed that he was fishing in the Licking River near the Waste Water Treatment Plant on KY 36 West came into the office and told the deputy that he had found a backpack with odd items inside it.
The Fraternal Order of Police, which includes Cynthiana and Harrison county law enforcement, will hold a pancake breakfast Saturday at Cynthiana Christian Church to raise money for its annual Shop with a Cop.
Breakfast will be served from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m.

It may sound like a slight-of-hand -- to raise $20,000 and get another $20,000; but it's real and it's generous.
An anonymous donor has offered an initial $20,000 to the City Hall gym project with a possibility of an additional $20,000.
Finance commissioner and gym project champion Billy Grayson wants it all. He wants the gym to be a safe place for children to play and he wants the funding to see it through.
In what could well be the final year for No Child Left Behind evaluations, Harrison County showed improvement, but was not one of only 22 schools in the state that scored 100 percent.
Harrison County was among the other 174 school districts that fell short of the federal government's No Child Left Behind (NCLB) mandate in the Kentucky Core Content Tests (KCCT). These results were based on the scores from students tested last spring.
Harrison Memorial Hospital will host an open house to show off the new Harrison Heart Cardiac Catheterization lab Sunday, Oct. 2, from 1:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m.

LED Notification Light
So I got a new HTC One yesterday after upgrading from an S3. Great choice, very happy with it and all the rest. The problem I have is that the notification light is not working correctly. I get sound/vibrate for messages no problem, but no green light. I had a Desire a couple of years back and know that it times out after 5 minutes, but I've caught it within a minute of a message arriving and heard it while on loud, but no light . I ran a diagnostic on the LED Lights and it comes on during the test so I know it works and it turned to green when the charge completed.
Any suggestions or is it simply associated with Android 4.3 (which signalled the end for my S3)? As it's right out of the box I can't be certain!

Re: LED Notification Light
I've used Missed call reminder to change my phone's notification behavior, which did not quite fit my needs. Works well on both sounds and lights. No phone is quite the same in that regards. Many other apps also allow to do this.
Good luck.

Samuel Adams was a founder of the Sons of Liberty and was a principal in the protest against the Stamp Act and in the protest known as the Boston Tea Party. He wrote prolifically in protest of British rule before and during the Revolutionary War. As a member of the Massachusetts Assembly, he advocated for a Continental Congress. After its formation he was appointed a representative.
In 1789 he was appointed lieutenant governor of the state of Massachusetts. Five years later, in 1794, he was elected Governor, a seat he held until his retirement in 1797. He died October 2, 1803 in Boston, age 81.

Writing is hard, Roger Angell told NPR in 2011. The irony in that statement is, Angell makes it look easy.
Writing is hard, Roger Angell told NPR in 2011. The irony in that statement is, Angell makes it look easy.
Just as he did an hour earlier, New York Mets pitcher Dave Mlicki walked from the team's dugout to the pitchers mound at Yankee Stadium. It was the same understated stroll he made to and from the dugout during the game only now the Stadium was quiet, empty and dark. It was eerily cool for a mid-June night. The heat — along with the cheering, jeering and chanting — left in the shadow of 56,188 New Yorkers.
A pair of Chicago Cubs centerfielders, Jimmy Qualls (1969) and Joe Wallis (1975), stole two of Tom Seaver's early bids for a no-hitter. One year after being traded from New York to Cincinnati, Seaver threw a no-hitter for the Reds. Nolan Ryan never pitched a no-hitter – as a New York Met – but after being traded to the California Angels in 1971 he nudged Mets fans every couple years, throwing seven no-hitters. "Every time he pitched you expected a no-hitter – or 15 strikeouts," said Jay Horwitz, Mets VP/Public Relations, referring to Dwight Gooden. In May 1996, Gooden tossed the only no-hitter of his career – as a member of the New York Yankees. Even Duffy Dyer had to leave the New York Mets to catch his first no-hitter (John Candelaria, Pittsburgh, 1975), 11 years before Josh Thole was born.
You can learn a lot about a baseball team from its locker room. The clubhouse is where relationships form, character is revealed and leaders speak out (or not). For the major league rookie, clubhouse real estate is valuable — sometimes priceless. Imagine being the rookie who spent eight months out of the year next to Sandy Koufax? Roberto Clemente? Lou Gehrig? Tom Seaver? These were model athletes, wise and humble men, who used their talent to teach.

Thank for finding my blog as yours is adorable! You have some of the most amazing photos ever. I loved my time in Capri. I studied abroad in 2001 and Italy was def. one of the best places to eat indeed!August 1, 2010 at 4:19 pm
In that one pic of the white topped buildings, I really DID think you were in Santorini! Maybe you and JB should go and check out the Greek islands, just for comparison's sake 😉 Just wait til you try the eggs in Greece–I don't know what it is, but they're the best I've ever had! besos.August 15, 2010 at 1:47 pm

Poor quality 11/10/2013
This review is from: Aluratek ADPF07SF 7" 800 x 600 Digital Photo Frame with Auto Slideshow
Read media card quickly, displayed the images as expected.
Would heat up after 2 minutes and permeate the area with the aroma of burnt plastic. Display would turn on and off at the devices leisure; I would turn off the unit, verify it was off, and it would turn itself back on moments later. This was livable until it began to smoke. I immediately removed the power cord from the outlet and the device stayed powered on for a few seconds before retiring into permanent blackness. Four months of ownership does not seem equitable for the price. Very disappointed.
