Flesh and Blood and Fish and Fowl, at St Stephen's Church: * * *
Decky Does a Bronco, at King George V Park: * * * *
Running on Air, at Pleasance Courtyard : * * * *
You wouldn't expect many stuffed animals in a place-of-worship but this is the Fringe and Flesh and Blood and Fish and Fowl, performed by American company Barrow Street Theatre in St Stephen's Church, is a taxidermist's dream. The set, a white, gleaming office with a sign overhead saying "Convenience Foods", looks like a spaceship that's landed in the middle of the building; piles of paper and filing cabinets litter the floor.
Jerry (Geoff Sobelle) pops out of a wheelie bin dressed for a day at work with the inane Rhoda (Charlotte Ford); before long, shrubbery starts to creep from the cabinets, while racoons and beavers appear threateningly on the desks. Eventually, in a wonderfully ridiculous finale, the beasts take over.
There are moments of great physical comedy, but the set and special effects crown the show. The lack of script means the play relies on the absurd situation and the actors' physical performances, which aren't exploited enough.
Playground swings provide the setting for Grid Iron's revival of Decky Does a Bronco, performed in one of the city's many beautiful parks. The show is back in Edinburgh after its first outing 10 years ago, and there are strong performances from an all-male team of actors exploring what it's like to be a nine-year-old growing up in the playground.
The writing, by Douglas Maxwell, is brilliant, and, although it does get a little chilly outside, the atmosphere grips throughout.
Laura Mugridge's Running on Air, performed for five people in a VW campervan in the Pleasance Courtyard, is a sweet blast of storytelling in which Mugridge relays how her beloved vehicle broke down while driving back from the Edinburgh Festival 2009.
Expect audience participation as Mugridge demonstrates how to look on the bright side in the face of adversity.

Not to be confused with Bronx Zoo from The Real Ghostbusters
The Bronx Zoo [1] is located in the Bronx, a borough of New York City, within Bronx Park. It is the world's largest metropolitan zoo and spans 265 acres.
Secondary CanonEdit
IDW ComicsEdit
Amid an encounter with displaced parallel versions of themselves, the Ghostbusters got a call about a poltergeist haunting the Bronx Zoo. Janine Melnitz alerted the teams as they conversed in the basement. [2] Peter Venkman and Winston Zeddemore and the parallel Ray Stantz and Egon Spengler responded. Peter and parallel Ray looked around the Heins & LaFarge Zoo Center while Winston and parallel Egon looked elsewhere. Parallel Ray heard a strange sound he described as a "tinkling" and they soon encountered the Fairy Poltergeist with a band of entranced animals following her. Parallel Ray soon became entranced as well. Peter summoned Winston over the Radio then opened fire on the poltergeist but the entranced Ray kept marching and was in danger of walking right into Peter's Proton Stream. Winston tackled parallel Ray out of the way. Parallel Egon trapped the poltergeist. Parallel Egon noted there was something familiar about the entity and wanted to study it further at the Firehouse.
- In Ghostbusters: Get Real Issue #2, panel 3, right of Peter, is a panel referencing the Wildlife Conservation Society, the group who manages the Bronx Zoo.
- In Get Real Issue #2, panel 5, the Heins & LaFarge Zoo Center lettering at the front of the Zoo Center is cut off on the right side.

New Details Emerge On Another Day Of Grief For Connecticut [VIDEO]
New details are emerging about the elementary school shooting in Newtown, Connecticut as the community and the nation spend another day grieving for the victims of Friday's shooting at the Sandy Hook Elementary School that left 27 dead including 20 children.
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy revealed on ABC's This Week this morning that gunman Adam Lanza committed suicide as first responders closed in, raising the specter that Adam Lanza had planned an even more gruesome massacre and was stopped short.
"We surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he heard responders coming and apparently at that, decided to take his own life," Malloy said.
Malloy offered no possible motive for the shooting and a law enforcement official has said police have found no letters or diaries left behind that could shed light on it
Meanwhile, authorities say the Lanza shot his mother multiple times in the head
A funeral for shooting victims, 6-year-old Noah Pozner, is being planned for Monday. Pozner's uncle, Alexis Haller, says the funeral is scheduled for 1 p.m. at the Abraham L. Green & Son Funeral Home in Fairfield, Conn.
Authorities are trying to determine whether students who survived the Connecticut elementary school rampage will be able to return to classes.
Newtown police Lt. George Sinko said at a news conference Sunday that school officials will determine what happens but that he thinks it will be very difficult for the children to return to Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown.But he says authorities want to keep the children together because the survivors "need to support each other."
NBC's Saturday Night Live opened the program with a performance by members of the New York City Children's Chorus of Silent Night and then shouting out "Live from New York, it's 'Saturday Night!'" It was the show's only reference to the shooting.
The Rolling Stones took a moment to acknowledge the deaths on stage during their concert at the Prudential Center in Newark on Saturday night. "We just wanted to send our love and condolences to all the people who lost loved ones in the tragedy in Connecticut," Jagger early on in the concert as the audience applauded. Jagger noted the entire world was feeling the pain of the stunned nation.
The Giants today in Atlanta and the New England Patriots tonight in their home game against Seattle in Foxborough, Massachusetts will honor the victims of the shooting today. The Giants will display "S.H.E.S" for "Sandy Hook Elementary School" as will the Jets tomorrow night in Nashville when they play Tennessee.
The Patriots will light flares for each of the 26 people killed at the school.
"Our thoughts and prayers are with all the people impacted by that tragedy," Jets coach Rex Ryan said Saturday. "It's, wow, it's amazing. … Just a horrific deal that happened there."
Newtown is located in Connecticut's Fairfield County and while just 60 miles north of New York and many sports loyalties are divided between New York and Boston teams.
President Obama will travel to Newtown on Sunday night for a memorial service. Obama will visit privately with the victims' families and with emergency personnel who responded to the shootings before speaking at an interfaith vigil at Newtown High School.
Federal agents today plan to fan out to gun stores and shooting ranges across Connecticut seeking clues to the life of gunman Adam Lanza.
Ginger Colbrun, spokeswoman for the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, said earlier there was no evidence Lanza was involved in gun clubs or had trained for the shooting. When reached later in the day and asked whether that was still true, she said, "We're following any and all leads related to this individual and firearms."
Dean Price, director of the Wooster Mountain State Range — a shooting range in Danbury — said two ATF agents visited the range Friday night and stayed into the early morning looking through thousands of names on sign-in logs.
He said that he had never seen Adam or Nancy Lanza there and that agents told him they did not find their names on the sign-in sheets.
On Saturday, overflow crowds packed St. Rose of Lima Roman Catholic Church. The Rev. Richard Scinto, a deacon, gave a homily.
"In the past 48 hours I've said the phrase 'I don't know' about 1,000 times," he said. "That not knowing has got to be the worst part of this whole thing."
At St. John's Episcopal Church, 54-year-old Donna Denner, an art teacher at an elementary school in nearby Danbury whose classroom was locked down after the shooting, said she feels the same way she did after 9/11 but isn't sure the rest of the country does.
"I don't know if the rest of the country is struggling to understand it the same way we are here," she said. "Life goes on, but you're not the same. Is the rest of the country — are they going about their regular activities? Is it just another news story to them?"
Stories of heroism are emerging from the shooting.
School psychologist Mary Sherlach and principal Dawn Hochsprung ran toward gunman Adam Lanza after he broke through the school door. Officials say Hochsprung died while lunging at the gunman. Sherlach also died.
The South Jersey Times reports Sherlach was a year away from retirement and had family in Gloucester County. Sherlach's daughter, Maura Schwartz is choir director at t Salem High School and lives in Deptford.
Another worker turned on the school intercom, alerting others in the building. A custodian ran through the halls warning of danger. A clerk led 18 children on their hands and knees to safety in a storage room with a lock.
And a cousin of teacher Victoria Soto tells ABC News that 27-year-old died trying to shield children from bullets.

SAN DIEGO, June 20, 2016 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Vical Incorporated (Nasdaq:VICL) presented data from the randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled Phase 1/2 clinical trial of its therapeutic genital herpes vaccine in symptomatic herpes simplex virus type 2 (HSV-2) infected patients in an oral late-breaker presentation at the American Society for Microbiology (ASM/ICAAC) Microbe 2016 meeting held in Boston. The slides presented by Mammen P. "Anza" Mammen, Jr., M.D., Vical's Vice President, Clinical Vaccines, will be accessible on Vical's website.
The per protocol study analyses included 131 evaluable patients: 54 receiving the monovalent (gD) vaccine, 56 receiving the bivalent vaccine (gD + UL46) and 21 receiving placebo. Initial top line 3-month data announced in June 2015 showed that neither the monovalent nor the bivalent vaccine met the primary endpoint of viral shedding rate reduction from baseline. However, the bivalent vaccine achieved statistically significant reduction in a prospectively defined secondary endpoint of genital lesion rate at 3 months versus baseline (-49%, p = 0.031). In the 9-month analysis presented today, the statistically significant reduction in lesion rate compared to baseline for the bivalent vaccine was sustained (-57%, p = 0.009). Furthermore, at the 9-month time point, the bivalent vaccine showed a favorable trend in recurrence rate, time to first recurrence, and proportion of patients who are recurrence-free. Vical's vaccines elicited significant increases in antigen-specific interferon gamma producing T cells, indicating biologic activity.
An independent Safety Monitoring Board reviewed all adverse events (AEs) and deemed the vaccines to be safe and tolerable in this trial. No serious adverse events, Grade 4 AEs, or AEs of special interest related to vaccinations were observed during the study period. Grade 3 AEs were reported in 13% of subjects, the most common of which were fatigue and injection site pain.
"There remains considerable unmet medical need in the treatment of genital herpes as there have been no new therapeutic breakthroughs in the past several decades," said Dr. Peter Leone, Professor of Medicine, University of North Carolina and an external program advisor for Vical. "A therapeutic HSV-2 vaccine could represent a very attractive treatment option to reduce outbreaks in individuals who suffer chronically from this disease. The data generated to date with the bivalent HSV-2 vaccine indicate that it is not only immunogenic, but also provides evidence for reducing lesion rate, a clinically meaningful endpoint for patients and physicians. Therefore, the bivalent vaccine warrants further clinical investigation."
"We have consulted with multiple experts involved in treating patients with genital herpes and conducting clinical trials," said Vijay Samant, President and Chief Executive Officer. "Our advisors have encouraged us to evaluate the bivalent vaccine further in a follow-on study powered to measure a clinically-relevant endpoint. We have established a continuing dialogue with the FDA about potential next steps and are currently finalizing a clinical protocol based on those discussions. We plan to initiate a Phase 2 trial of the bivalent vaccine during the second half of 2016. Importantly, we expect to be able to execute this study using our current resources and under our operational plan, and maintain our guidance for net cash burn of between $8 million and $11 million during 2016."
Mr. Samant continued, "We anticipate a number of additional clinical milestones this year. In our CMV program with Astellas, we expect that in the third quarter of 2016, enrollment will be completed in the Phase 3 registration trial in hematopoietic cell transplant recipients and that top line data should be available from the Phase 2 trial in kidney transplant recipients. In addition, we also anticipate completing the Phase 1 trial of our novel antifungal, VL-2397, by year end."

Kentucky GOP spokeswoman suspended after DUI arrest
FRANKFORT — The spokeswoman for the Republican Party of Kentucky has been placed on a two-week unpaid suspension after being arrested Saturday night in Lexington for driving under the influence, state GOP chairman Steve Robertson said Monday.
"She obviously made a mistake and she knows that," Robertson said of Kelsey Christine Cooper, 23. "I hope she learns a valuable lesson from this. She has been an important part of our team. We'll just go from here."
Cooper, who was hired by the Republican Party this year, was arrested by Lexington police.
A citation issued to Cooper says she stopped her Camaro in the middle of East Sixth Street near Mustang Crossing at 11:10 p.m. and approached police officers to say she was lost and needed directions home. When officers saw that she was confused, unsteady on her feet and crying, Cooper told them she had left a bar where she had consumed three vodka drinks, according to the citation.
She failed multiple field sobriety checks and a Breathalyzer test, which showed her blood alcohol level at 0.184, according to the citation. It is illegal in Kentucky to drive with a blood alcohol level of 0.08 or higher.
Lexington-Fayette Urban County jail records show that Cooper was released Sunday. She is to be arraigned Aug. 1 in Fayette District Court.
Cooper did not respond to emails or phone messages about the arrest.
Cooper is from Los Angeles. She worked as a communications desk coordinator for the 2012 Romney for President campaign and worked with Meg Whitman's unsuccessful campaign for governor of California in 2010.
Cooper, a former intern at Fox News Channel, is a graduate of the University of California, Berkeley.

About reiki
Reiki, pronounced 'ray key', is a Japanese word meaning Universal Life Force Energy. It is a natural, safe, pain free and simple healing method, which allows anyone to absorb more valuable life force energy through the hands of the healer. Reiki energy flows through the hands of the healer and does not require touch. This ancient Japanese method of healing uses energy to balance the body, mind, and spirit.
benefits of reiki
Benefits of Reiki
Reiki is known to improve all aspects of life, from physical health to emotional wellness, to stress reduction and mental clarity. Reiki will help people and animals suffering from various major and minor ailments. It is often used as a complementary therapy in a number of hospitals today. One of the greatest Reiki healing health benefits is stress reduction and relaxation, which triggers the body's natural healing abilities, aids in better sleep and improves and maintains health. Reiki offers relief during emotional distress and sorrow. Reiki helps in the grieving process. Reiki helps bring about inner peace and harmony. It is a valuable tool in your quest for spiritual growth.
On the physical level, Reiki helps to relieve pain from migraine, arthritis, sciatica, just to name a few. It also helps with symptoms of asthma, chronic fatigue, menopausal changes, and insomnia. Reiki also facilitates faster recovery from surgery or long-term illness. As it helps in adjusting to medicine and treatments, it also tends to reduce side effects. For example, chemotherapy patients who received Reiki noticed a marked decrease in side effects from treatment.
Reiki energy works in harmony with all other forms of healing, including medications, surgery, psychological care or any other method of alternative care and will improve the results.

One Abundant Life Wedding Officiants give you exactly what you desire, whether you prefer a large and extravagant ceremony or something simple and small. In fact, we specialize in non-traditional ceremonies and service on short notice!
SIMPLE, LEGAL CEREMONY: Many couples simply desire a "courthouse style" wedding and need an Officiant to perform a simple, legal ceremony. We are more than happy to provide this service. For strictly legal weddings or ceremonies on short notice simply contact us to discuss your needs. You can be married today! The cost of a simple, legal, "courthouse style" wedding is $200 when a couple chooses to hold the ceremony at our location in Granger, Indiana. The cost for the same ceremony held offsite and within 30 minutes from our location is $250.
STANDARD WEDDING PACKAGE: We offer a simple, convenient process. We understand the complexities of planning a wedding, which is why we use a process that will help ease the demands on your time. As your Wedding Officiant we will work with you to create a custom ceremony that is as unique as the love you share. Every Wedding ceremony package includes:
Free Consultation – You'll feel completely comfortable reserving our services. One Abundant Life offers a consultation that is completely free…and fun! We typically conduct these initial consultations in person, however, if you prefer, they can be done via Face Time, Skype, or even over the phone, We will hold your wedding date for 10 days after our initial consultation so you will have plenty of time to make your decision.
Getting To Know You – Once you sign our agreement and pay a 50% deposit, we will schedule a planning meeting in order to gather information about the specific needs of your custom ceremony. Just like the initial consultation, this meeting is best handled in person, but it can also be done over the phone. We'll have some questions about what you'd like to include in your wedding ceremony, and it helps us to get to know the two of you and learn more about your relationship. This information will guide us and give us an idea of how to write the first draft of your ceremony to make sure it reflects your individual wishes and your own unique personalities.
Unlimited Editing – Shortly after the planning meeting, we'll create a first draft of your unique ceremony and send it via email for your review. Often, this first draft will require some revision. With One Abundant Life as your wedding ceremony officiant, you'll have complete control over this draft. It can be revised as much as necessary until it is the exact wedding ceremony you want. One Abundant Life offers complete support, guidance, and instruction along the way, all at no additional charge! We will continue to work with you to ensure your ceremony is exactly what you envision. You can make as many changes as you wish until you are fully satisfied. Once everything is in order, we will then provide your final written, custom ceremony, along with a Rehearsal Outline. This way you will know exactly what to expect and you will receive exactly what you have requested..
On your wedding day we will arrive early to help coordinate with your attendants and vendors, and we'll be ready and waiting for the processional to begin. We will work with all your other wedding professionals, and give you the exact ceremony we have discussed, creating a perfectly wonderful experience for you and everyone present on your special day. Contact us today to reserve your date!
MARRIAGE GUIDANCE: We do offer pre-marital guidance, which is not required but can be very helpful in creating a strong foundation for your marriage. Let us know if you are interested in marriage guidance services when you contact us, and I can provide you with additional information.
OUR PROCESS AND PRICING Our Standard Wedding Package price starts at $350, and can vary depending on your specific needs. Travel and accommodation expenses may be required in addition to the Standard Package price. Most weddings do not require an additional travel fee.
We offer a simple booking process that is easy to understand. Here's how it works:
Fill out the contact form here and include as much information as you can. Don't worry if you don't know everything right now. We'll get the information we need when we need it. However, the more information you can provide us up front, the easier it will be on you as your special day draws closer.
We will email or call you (your choice) confirming our availability for the date you want, and schedule a consultation. We will reserve your date for 10 days so you'll have plenty of time to decide if One Abundant Life is right for you.
Once we have determined the services you desire, we will provide you an exact price quote. Then, simply sign the Agreement and make a minimum 50% deposit and you're all set! Once we have received your Agreement and deposit, we will get to work creating your custom ceremony. It's that easy!
Death Doula
My name is Debra Janicki and I provide death doula and related services to families in North Central Indiana and Southern Michigan. I am an ordained minister of Universal Life Church. I provide supportive services to terminally ill or dying individuals and their families and assist in navigating the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of this transformative time. I provide a loving, wise, healing presence to all families and serve all faith practices and all traditions.
I believe the dying process and that death itself is a sacred rite of passage and a powerful experience, one that is natural, safe, and transformative. My work is to help families to discover and express the desires and wishes of your loved one, and to provide information and support in making informed choices about death. I am honored to nurture and support each individual's ability to live and to die in the manner he or she chooses.
WHAT WE DO: As your Death Doula, I am there to advocate for the wishes of the dying and to provide physical, informational, administrative, and emotional support as you move through the mourning period, similar to services provided by a Birth Doula.
I do not provide medical care, but am knowledgeable about all aspects of the dying process, including physical changes, emotional needs, and spiritual aspects for both the dying and the family. Often, my services begin at the time of a terminal diagnosis and continue through support and care after death. As each family has unique needs, I do not prepackage services, but rather prefer to meet with families at point of first contact to work together to determine a plan that meets your specific needs. Contact us today to schedule a free, no obligation consultation.
The reality is you will grieve forever.
You will not 'get over' the loss of a loved one;
you will learn to live with it.
You will heal and you will rebuild yourself
around the loss you have suffered.
You will be whole again...but never the same.
Nor should you want to.
—Elizabeth Kubler-Ross
Funeral Officiant
One Abundant Life offers Officiant services for milestone events such as end of life ceremonies, living memorials, and funerals. Please contact us to discuss your individual needs.
One Abundant Life provides caring services to support your family and celebrate your loved one during these important times with a loving, compassionate, and healing presence. We conduct funerals and memorial services, or delicately serve you during on-going or short-term health crises. Spiritual guidance is always available as well.
We believe that holding a personalized end of life ceremony can be deeply healing. We will compassionately help you to create a custom ceremony that is meaningful to all involved, and honoring to your loved one who is in the process of passing or has passed. We welcome all traditions and beliefs ensuring you will be comfortable with the planning and the ceremony itself.
Each end of life ceremony includes the following:
Initial Consultation – We want you to feel totally comfortable, which is why we offer a free, no-obligation consultation with you before to assist in your decisions. We will conduct the initial consultations via Skype, Face Time, or phone, depending on your needs, but it is preferable to meet in person at a time and location convenient for you.
Planning Meeting – Once you have chosen One Abundant Life as your Officiant, we will schedule a planning meeting. This meeting normally happens in person, but it can also be done via video or phone call if this is what you need. We will ask you questions about what you feel is important to include in the ceremony and get to know your family and learn about the life of the person we are honoring. This information will help us write your ceremony to make sure it reflects the vision and desires of those involved.
Ceremony Editing – Following our planning meeting, we will write a full draft of your ceremony and email it to you for your review. You can revise the draft ceremony as much as you'd like until it is the exact end of life ceremony you want, and then simply email the edited draft back to us. We want it to feel perfect – if you need additional suggestions or guidance, we are happy to help at no additional charge.
The Ceremony – We will officiate the funeral or memorial service according to your wishes. If you desire, we will arrive at the ceremony early and stay as long as you require to help coordinate with family and to be available to support you. We will deliver the exact ceremony we have discussed and create a meaningful, healing experience for everyone involved.
GRIEF SUPPORT: For those interested, we offer grief support, which is not required but can be helpful when processing the death of a loved one. This may be as simple as being present to the family prior to the service and may include ongoing support during bereavement. Let us know if you are interested in grief support services, and we can provide you with additional information.

"So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." 2 Corinthians 4:16–18
I have this verse posted at my desk, and it's been a great encouragements over the last few months. In all honesty, I haven't really felt like I "needed" it lately. I know it sounds bad; it's not that I don't need Scripture, it's just that as I have been feeling better, I think I haven't paid as much attention to this verse. But it caught my eye earlier, and as I read it, I was reminded that our life here isn't for us. What we do here, what happens to us, whether good or bad, are not for our glory but for the glory of God. Even in the midst of affliction, our faith and obedience in it is for Him. One of the commentaries says that the things we are afflicted with on earth are light in comparison to the eternal glory that we get to experience in Heaven.
So whether you are in affliction or not, remember that your life is for God's glory, and remember that the glory we get to experience in Heaven far outweighs this life.
"We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be manifested in our bodies. For we who live are always being given over to death for Jesus' sake, so that the life of Jesus also may be manifested in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you." 2 Corinthians 4:8–12
"For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us." Romans 8:18
"In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls." 1 Peter 1:6–9

Not too terribly long ago, Blizzard sent me an invitation to come check out the Panderia expansion for 10 days for free.
Now, checking out the pandas, themselves, is not something I need to do because, well, I have already done it. I made a free-to-play-to-level-20 account and created a Pandaran Priest, just to see the starting lands. It didn't take 20 levels before the character was merged completely with the Alliance or the Horde (did both, so I could see what happened) and therefore ripe for deletion.
So if the only attraction was the pandas, there really wasn't any attraction.
But with all the people who come to this blog for information on the Vuhdo addon (yes, I keep up with the statistics on this blog), I really felt tempted to accept this invitation, install the latest Vuhdo version, log in, see what major changes have happened, and see if I need to update anything on my little guide.
After a lot of thought, I decided to do it. So this week, I'll be waking up Anachan for the first time in over 14 months, ready to see what has happened to Vuhdo in my absence.
If I'm lucky, not much will have changed, and I'll be able to just
tweak things here and there in my guide. If I'm not so lucky, the interface will look completely different, and I'll be spending hours staring at my screen,
trying to figure out what is going on.
As Anachan has never been removed from Tempest guild, I'm mildly curious to
see what will happen (if anything) when I log on . . . Given the
turnover typical of most raiding guilds, I know there are really only a
few people remaining who remember me, so I don't expect much.

Knitting Machine Hack & Glitch Knit
Knitting Machine Hack & Glitch Knit
Glitch Knit is a project by Tokyo based artists Nukeme, So Kanno and Tomofumi Yoshida. For this project the team hacked a Brother knitting machine which is used to transform glitch data into something physical and beautiful.
Glitch is data or digital information that is damaged or corrupted. You might have seen this visualised if you have ever come across a digital image (.jpg or similar) that had been damaged and presented blocks or bands of colour across parts of, or all of the image.
There is a small community of visual artists who are using glitch to generate art and textiles. Whilst much of this makes use of corrupted files artists are also finding ways in which to deliberately generate glitch data from a variety of sources.
Nukeme describes the knitting machine hack project as both the "corruption of data and the corruption of the machine" but sees both acts of corruption as preparing both elements for play. The team behind the hack also damaged the structure of the knit which results in the holes you can see in the knitting that has been outputted by the machine.
I've become more aware of means of integrating digital and traditional methods of production since starting my cross stitch project six months ago. Whilst I'm using digital platforms to generate content for my work I've not taken that step into digital production but ideas about ways to engage glitch have started to crop up.
This hacked knitting machine is available to use at FabLab Shibuya and details of the hack are published on Github should you wish to attempt to hack your own machine.

Showing at Style Fashion Week during New York Fashion Week, Malan Breton showed once again his inimitable style that captures a mix of drama, sophistication and luxury.
Opening the show with a performance by Sylvia Tosun, impeccable dressed in a Malan Breton ballgown, what followed was a runway show full of everything from leather, fur, luxe fabrics and sequins.
Malan Breton took his inspiration from 1970's Glam Rock and an homage to Studio 54. The inspiration paid off with a collection that captures the spirit of the era, while at the same time being modern.
Malan Breton Fall 2016 is a perfect collection for the jet set and the jet set wanna-bes and keeps me coming back for more.

Legal | The Michigan Court of Appeals heard arguments Tuesday in the case of retailer and convention organizer Michael George, who's awaiting a second trial in the 1990 death of his first wife Barbara. The appeals court typically takes a month to rule.
George, 49, was convicted of first-degree murder in March 2008, but the verdict was set aside six months later by Circuit Judge James Biernat, who cited prosecutorial misconduct and the discovery of new evidence that might have swayed the jury. George has been held in the Macomb County Jail since his arrest in August 2007. [Detroit Free Press]
Business | Brooks Barnes profiles Jeff Robinov, president of Warner Bros. Picture Group, focusing on his efforts to modify the way the company operates. That "involves making fewer but more ambitious movies, cutting back on sweetheart producer deals and at long last integrating its corporate sibling DC Comics more tightly into the movie division." [The New York Times]
Publishing | MK Reed looks at Diamond's increased minimum-order policy one year later: "In the year since this change, the effects on publishers and products have been wide-ranging. Some observers predicted the End of Comics As We Know It, and some saw yet another mark of the death of print. But even ignoring the hit to comics as periodicals, the threshold took a toll on small press comics." [PW Comics Week]

Like my previous question, I'll pose this one too with an array.
$1^r, 3^r, 5^r, 7^r, 9^r$ (all odd $r$th powers)
That's array 1. And array 2;
$2^r, 4^r, 6^r, 8^r, 10^r$ (all even $r$th powers)
Let's take the sum of random $k$ integers from each array, where $r>2$ (to eliminate Pythagorean triplets), so our $r=3, k=3$, and from Array 1, we have $(1^3 + 5^3 + 7^3)=469$ and for Array 2, $(6^3 + 10^3 + 2^3)=1224$
Now let me get to the point. I want to know, is it possible for the sum of $k$ random odd/even $r$th powers from an array of consecutive odd/even $r$th powers respectively, to be partitioned in any other way than the $r$th powers that constituted them?
I guess the answer for this must be $1$ (the initial sum of $r$th powers)...
PS I've taken separate arrays to avoid the trouble of Hardy-Ramanujan-like numbers (as in cubes) and equivalence to other powers (like $3^3 + 4^3 + 5^3=6^3$) from occuring in the sum. The effort is to keep the possible partitions as close as possible to $1$ (initial composition).

In Focus:
Operations Control Center
the complete investment management solution
Archer's proprietary AutoPost system automatically reconciles account transactions, balances, and positions with custodian records. We dramatically reduce operating costs by automating what is often the most time-intensive task for investment management operations teams. And by ensuring that all accounts are fully reconciled before the trading day begins, the risk of trade errors is greatly diminished.
The breadth of securities held across a multitude of custodians – all with different data formats, reporting standards, and communication protocols, makes reconciliation difficult at best. Managers must have confidence that cash and share balances are correct before trading in any account.
Within Archer, deviations are quickly identified and easily resolved. Archer's flexible reporting and analysis tools are ready to aid users in researching, communicating, and solving more complex reconciliation issues. And because Archer's reconciliation actions are updated in real time, managers inherently see the latest, most accurate positions available.

The phone's OpenWave web browser is fast and renders pages in an attractive manner. The browser uses Verizon's Mobile Web 2.0 service ($5/month) and their VZW Today start page with links to news, weather, email, sports, entertainment and more. Though not pre-installed, you can download a free IM client using the Get it Now feature which allows you to chat on AIM, MSN and Yahoo instant messaging. This app will appear under the Get Extras section of your phone after you've downloaded it and uses text messages to send and receive IMs. Messages were reasonably quick over an EVDO connection (since these are text message based, connection speed shouldn't be important), though it's not nearly instantaneous as true IM-ing using a smartphone or PDA phone. The client can stay active in the background, notifying you when new messages come in.
How does the phone fare for voice? Conversations are loud and clear and the LG's full duplex speakerphone is amazingly loud and doesn't distort unless you crank up the volume to extremes. The VX8100 supports standard features such as call mute, voice privacy, call recording and entering a note while in conversation. Phone reception is average: not as strong as the venerable Motorola V710 but offering adequate reception in even weak areas. Unless you need a phone that works in a very poor coverage area, the LG should suffice. The LG supports 72 chord polyphonic ringtones and has a vibrate function.
The phone has true voice recognition and you can issue voice commands to have it call someone in your address book, digit dial, call voicemail, tell you about your missed calls and read aloud the date and time. The phone's address book can hold up to 500 contacts with several phone numbers each. You can assign a photo to a contact as well as a customized ringtone for voice and a customized tone for incoming messages. You may also assign contacts to groups; either one of the canned groups or one of your own making. In addition, the LG has 99 speed dial slots, with the last three assigned to commonly used Verizon functions (#BAL, #MIN and #PMT) and 1 assigned to voicemail. There's also a basic calendar with day, week, and month views. You can create your own appointments and reminders and set recurrence as needed.
The VX8100 can send both text and MMS (picture) messages. It does not come with a POP3/IMAP email client, though you have the option to download email applications using the phone. The LG does have an email function that takes you to Verizon's web-based email portal for access to Hotmail, AOL mail, Yahoo mail and a few others.
Display, Sound and Multimedia
The phone has an absolutely gorgeous main display that's very color saturated, bright and vibrant. It displays 262K colors at 176 x 220 resolution. Photos, videos and games look fantastic on this phone, making it a multimedia pleasure. 3D games such as Splinter Cell: Chaos Theory ran well and looked good. It's especially well-suited to watching V Cast videos paired with the very good stereo speakers. The two speakers are mounted on the hinge-- one facing left, one facing right for good stereo separation.
The 65K color outer display is excellent by secondary LCD standards: it's bright, colorful and easy to read. It measures 128 x 128 pixels and shows the wallpaper of your choice, signal strength, battery level, time and date.
While the Verizon version of the VX8100 lacked an MP3 player for the first month or so, Verizon now offers a firmware update to add it. We received the pre-MP3 player version so can't describe it's quality. But the great speakers and handy exterior controls should make for a good music experience. The LG has 72 chord polyphonic ringtone support, comes with 15 ringtones and supports multimedia ringtones. In addition, it has a voice recorder which can record 1 minute long voice memos as well as phone conversations.
Bluetooth and miniSD Slot
Want to use a Bluetooth headset or car kit with the LG? No problem; it has integrated Bluetooth 1.1 with support for both headset and hands free profiles. In our tests, it worked well with a range of current popular headsets such as the Motorola HS820, Cardo Scala 500 and Jabra BT800. The phone supports only Bluetooth headset and car kits, it does not have profiles for OBEX push, FTP or DUN (dial up networking). That means you won't be able to send photos to other devices using Bluetooth. You can however, transfer photos to a miniSD card and use a card reader on your PC to manage those files. We tested the VX8100 with ATP and PQI miniSD cards and had no trouble transferring files to and from the card using the phone, a PDA and PC with card reader. Since Verizon has disabled DUN on the phone, you won't be able to use it as a wireless modem for a computer or PDA over Bluetooth unless you do a little hacking yourself to enable that feature. Do keep in mind that Verizon's terms of service prohibit tethering the phone to another device for EVDO data connections.
Battery Life
The LG's 1,000 mA standard battery lasted us two days with the phone turned on from 9am to midnight, 45 minutes per day of talk time and 40 minutes of gaming and watching V Cast videos. This is average for a CDMA phone with a bright screen, high speed data and loud stereo speakers. Should you need more staying power, LG offers an optional 1,700 mA battery. If you're in an EVDO area you'll get better battery life than in an area with fringe or partially deployed EVDO because the phone will hunt for that trace EVDO signal throughout the day, consuming battery power in the process.

Michael Jackson's New Album "Michael"
Michael Jackson's newest and most likely last album has been released. How is it?
Jody Rosen - Rolling Stone
This is not a Michael Jackson album. Jackson was one of pop's biggest fussbudgets: Even when his songs were half-baked, the production was pristine. He would not have released anything like this compilation, a grab bag of outtakes and outlines assembled by Jackson's label. And yet, it's a testament to the man's charisma that Michael can be compelling.

An electric utility in southern Illinois is frightening thousands of its customers by spreading misinformation about President Obama's clean energy reform agenda. The Wayne-White Counties Electric Cooperative has joined the American Petroleum Institute's "Energy Citizens" propaganda campaign, telling its members to oppose the American Clean Energy and Security Act. Wayne-White is even "organizing a bus trip" to the state capital to join an API rally on September 1:
Wayne-White encourages concerned citizens to participate in the free bus trip and rally in Springfield. The co-op recently mailed out nearly 10,000 informational letters and signature forms to enable concerned citizens to help themselves by speaking out and opposing this issue. As of Monday, more than 4,000 postcards had been returned to the co-op office which will be hand-delivered to Burris and Durbin at their Springfield offices, the Wayne-White news release said.
Wayne-White's CEO Daryl Donjon has claimed that the legislation, which would spur a clean-energy economy by capping pollution and supporting renewable energy and efficiency, "is an unfair tax to the Midwest and would raise electric rates by 80 percent." In the letter sent to Wayne-White's captive audience, the utility claims "Cap & Trade" will "lead to the transfer of wealth from the midwestern states to the coastal states" and is "scary."
Donjon is repeating the fearmongering about clean energy reform promoted by conservatives from Newt Gingrich to Wayne-White representative John Shimkus (R-IL), who have been repeatedly debunked. In reality, the EPA has found that the Waxman-Markey American Clean Energy and Security Act would lower electricity bills, not raise them.
Scientific models project that Illinois is one of the top ten states most at risk of rising temperatures due to global warming in the coming decades — science that Daryl Donjon rejects.

Industries Hydropower Regulatory Efficiency Act of 2013
Once you file a Notice of Intent to Construct a Qualifying Conduit Hydropower Facility with the Commission, we will make an initial determination within 15 days. Our initial determination will be either to reject the notice of intent or to determine the facility meets the qualifying criteria.
There are two reasons why we would issue a rejection:
- you did not provide enough information to prove your facility qualifies, or
- your facility does not meet the qualifying criteria.
If we determine more information is needed, we will provide a list of the missing information. Once you gather the missing information, you can revise the notice of intent and re-file it at any time.
If we initially determine your facility meets the qualifying criteria:
- we will issue a public notice providing the public with 30 days to file motions to intervene, and
- 45 days to provide comments contesting whether your facility meets the qualifying criteria.
If no one files comments contesting whether your facility qualifies, then your facility is deemed to be a qualifying conduit hydropower facility, and we will issue a letter stating this. If someone files comments contesting whether your facility qualifies, as expeditiously as possible, we will review the comments and issue an order determining whether or not your facility qualifies.

It is a well known factor that your wedding day will be the most special day of your life and you might want to make the day ever so memorable. To start things off you might want to fix a date for the special occasion. You could talk to your partner and come up with dates which both of you agree on. You might want to make sure that when the date is being set that you have enough time to do the planning.
Once the date is set you could contact a Dubai events company and ask them do the planning for you. This way you could focus on the other aspects and not be worried about the occasion. You may not have to worry as much because the hired corporation might execute whatever you ask them. You could first off by coming up with a dress for your occasion. Therefore, you could go to a shop and make sure a perfect dress is chosen for the occasion. It's also important to look into your make up before the ceremony is to commence. Therefore, you could also contact good makeup artists so that you may not have to worry about the makeup being too shabby.
When it comes to the decoration you could make sure that all your preferences are looked upon. If you prefer a specific theme or a color, you could make it a point to think of that when you are coming up with a design for the ceremony. Once the decorations are sorted you could contact a show production Dubai company and make sure the fitting is looked into. You might want to make sure that the corporation which you hired is carrying out all the activities accurately. Therefore, you could make it a point to keep regular tabs on them.
It's also important to order a wedding cake for the event. You could get in touch with a good caterer and make sure that an order is placed for a cake which looks beautiful. It's important to have a wedding photographer present during the event because you might want all the lovely memories which are formed during your special day to be captured. Therefore, when you are doing the planning you might also want to make sure that a photographer is hired so that this fleet could be achieved. The final aspect which needs to be looked at is the food. This is the most important aspect as well. If the guests are not satisfied with the food which is provided you may be unable to call the event a success. Therefore, you might want to make sure that you get hold of the best caterers in town so that the food will be perfect.

Texas Chainsaw 3D has released its latest poster online.
The promotional image - debuted by FearNet - depicts slasher icon Leatherface as director John Luessenhop prepares to return him to screens for the first time in six years.
The movie picks up where Tobe Hooper's 1974 original left off, following a young woman named Heather who inherits a mansion from a grandmother she never knew she had, only to discover that the chainsaw-wielding Leatherface still resides there.
Texas Chainsaw 3D will ignore the events of Marcus Nispel's 2003 remake and its prequel Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning in favour of a return to the series' roots.
Alexandra Daddario will head up the cast in the role of Heather, with support from Tania Raymonde and Scott Eastwood. Original actors Gunnar Hansen, Marilyn Burns and Bill Moseley will make cameo appearances.
Texas Chainsaw 3D is released in the UK on January 4, 2013.

Google Search is evolving rapidly into a service where you no longer need to search for information!
I was hosting a Q&A session at Google headquarters in Sydney awhile ago to launch the Using Technology Better Community and the discussion turned towards Google search and what is next. One of the Google employees made a statement that really caught my attention. I am not sure how many people caught the significance of the statement or have thought much more about it since.
I can't quote him word for word but this is pretty close.
Google is now not only delivering information that you ask for, but are developing the ability to give you information before you need it.
Up until now, the way we have interacted with Google search is that we have asked Google questions and it has delivered the answers. Now Google can tell you what you need to know before you know you need it.

As is their pattern, defenders of the president offer a straw man in regard to the subpoena of Associated Press phone records: Shouldn't we investigate leaks?
Duh, yes. The entire question, however, revolves around the extent of the probe and its necessity. Only the Richard Nixon fan club would argue, for example, that it is okay to willy-nilly conduct surveillance of the press on a leak that wasn't actually a threat to national security.
The AP issue revolves around several issues.
Did the AP endanger national security?
For five days, reporters at the Associated Press had been sitting on a big scoop about a foiled al-Qaeda plot at the request of CIA officials. Then, in a hastily scheduled Monday morning meeting, the journalists were asked by agency officials to hold off on publishing the story for just one more day.
The CIA officials, who had initially cited national security concerns in an attempt to delay publication, no longer had those worries, according to individuals familiar with the exchange. Instead, the Obama administration was planning to announce the successful counterterrorism operation that Tuesday.
In this vein the investigation looks like a peevish retaliation against the A.P. for ruining the administration's bragging when it finally published after the all-clear advisory. It looks even worse for the administration when you consider:
When the journalists rejected a plea to hold off longer, the CIA then offered a compromise. Would they wait a day if AP could have the story exclusively for an hour, with no government officials confirming it for that time?
The reporters left the meeting to discuss the idea with their editors. Within an hour, an administration official was on the line to AP's offices.
The White House had quashed the one-hour offer as impossible. AP could have the story exclusively for five minutes before the White House made its own announcement. AP then rejected the request to postpone publication any longer.
Under these circumstances, it is hard to believe that the AP's release of the story on Monday threatened national security. In fact, the news organization was explicitly told at that point that it did not. Foiling the ability of the administration to chest-thump is not the same as endangering national security.
What direction did the White House give?
We know this administration is leak-obsessed. It has prosecuted more leaks than any administration while self-leaking favorable data on the Osama bin Laden assassination to the dismay of then-Secretary of Defense Robert Gates. Was there a standing order (or one given in this case) to go after leaks without regard to First Amendment concerns and in contravention of standing Department of Justice rules for limiting the scope of investigations invading reporters' privacy? Did the president ever make clear (as he has in self-serving speeches after the fact) that there had to be a balance between First Amendment rights and national security?
What's up with Eric Holder?
He needs to fess up about what actions he took before allegedly recusing himself, whom he put in charge, what direction that person was given, how others in DOJ were made aware of the recusal and whether that recusal was compromised in any way.
What was the deputy attorney general James Cole thinking?
As detailed in their letter to Cole and Holder, about 50 news organizations assert that DOJ did not follow legal guidelines on investigations that impair First Amendment rights:
Subpoenas of the news media for testimony and evidence are governed by the Attorney General's guidelines found at 28 C.F.R. § 50.10 and incorporated into the U.S. Attorney's Manual (See § 9-13.400). These guidelines were enacted in 1972 and were expanded specifically to cover telephone records in 1980. They were developed to accommodate both the interests of the government in prosecuting crime and the First Amendment interests in reporting on issues of public concern. We know this to be true because the Reporters Committee played a role in their promulgation. In this instance, where the department subpoenaed two months of records related to 20 telephone lines, including records from major AP bureaus and the home phone and cellphone records of individual journalists, the department appears to have ignored or brushed aside almost every aspect of the guidelines.
The news organizations then detailed the ways in which the A.P. investigation did not conform to the guidelines designed to protect the First Amendment. Cole's reply was as amateurish as it was unilluminating. He claims narrowing the time period to two months was sufficient. He said the massive surveillance was taken after 550 interviews, but says he can't say anything more. Why should we trust him? His squirrely response includes no mention of the negotiation with the AP described above.
With whom did Cole consult, and did the White House have knowledge about spying on the AP?
It is hard to fathom that a deputy attorney general would take on an unprecedented intrusion into a news organization on his own without consulting anyone. It is important to know with whom he consulted and if any political appointees inside or outside of the DOJ were involved.
The Justice Department obviously can't and won't investigate itself. This is precisely the reason for an independent prosecutor to be appointed. Otherwise a gross abuse of power and Holder's own testimony can't be investigated.
Congress can certainly conduct hearings, but I suspect Holder et. al won't cooperate.
There is another way of getting at this: Sue the Justice Department. That's right. In the Bivens case from 1971, the Supreme Court found there was an implied right of action for individuals to sue authorities who violated their Fourth Amendment rights. Bivens was subsequently held to apply to a variety of other constitutional violations, including the First Amendment. This is precisely the sort of case in which a Bivens action against Holder, Cole and/or others can be used both to remedy the wrong done to the AP and its employees and to conduct discovery into what occurred. I am sure attorneys would line up around the block to take the case pro bono.
In short, the AP case is serious and an affront to a free press. If the president won't appoint a prosecutor independent from the Justice Department and won't cooperate with Congress, the AP and/or the affected reporters and editors should take to the courts. Indeed, I would suggest it is their ethical obligation to do so.
