"When I was a kid, I was called a dirty dumb Indian, or a dumb dirty Indian, or whatever, you know? Well, I got in a lot of fights. Because I wasn't dirty, and I wasn't dumb, but I sure was tough!"
The above picture was taken at a proposed housing area before it began; once completed it became home to those who began and continue to host the Northwest Coast Native site. Northwest Coast Native at shoalwaterbaytribe.com is located on the Washington Coast near a small beachfront town site called Tokeland.
Shoalwater Bay Tribal lands are located in the middle of a non-Native coastal fishing, tourism, and retirement community with a surrounding population who is not always appreciative of their Reservation neighbors, as the "Future Ghetto" sign gives evidence to. Despite this, and in keeping with the stated goals and actions of our ancestors, we do our best to continue a tradition of standing up no matter what is set before us. And this tradition is a strong one:
Though the tribe faced near decimation through disease, residential schools, and dispossession, our ancestors stood firm, refusing to budge from tribal land, which led to the September 22, 1866 executive order to set aside the Naahps Chaahts community village site (also called Georgetown) for "miscellaneous Indian purposes." Later, the tribe was among the few Federally Recognized Reservations in the United States which did not treaty with the Federal Government.
It took until 1971 for the Shoalwater Bay Tribe to be recognized as a Sovereign Nation. However, in the face of many trials and pressures to relocate, our ancestors preserved our Native land for future generations, allowing us to practice our culture in our homeland as we have done for countless centuries.

Pod Slurping – An easy technique for stealing data
The problem with uncontrolled use of iPods, USB sticks and flash drives on your network. A common misconception is that perimeter security measures such as firewalls and anti-virus software are enough to secure corporate data residing on the corporate network. In this white paper, we explore how the uncontrolled use of portable storage devices such as iPods, USB sticks, flash drives and PDAs, coupled with data theft techniques such as 'pod slurping', can lead to major security breaches.
Pod slurping: How can insiders steal your data?
Developments in portable device and data storage technology are escalating. The latest versions of MP3 players and flash memory devices have huge storage capabilities; yet these gadgets are small enough to easily conceal and sneak in behind the corporate line of defence. Further to this, easy connectivity and high speed data transfer has become increasingly more widespread – a user may simply plug the device into a USB or FireWire port and they are up and running – no drivers or configuration required! In practice, this means that a data thief can get away with even more precious data, and a negligent employee can dump more viruses onto the corporate network even when connecting for only a short time. iPod is just one example of such portable contraptions. At a glance it is an innocent-looking portable audio device. However under the hood it boasts up to 60 GB of portable storage space; practically large enough to store all the data found in a typical workstation. This means that a malicious insider can use an iPod to covertly take out (i.e. 'steal') proprietary data and millions of financial, consumer or otherwise sensitive corporate records at one go!
Gartner analysts Contu and Girard (2004) warned of the security risks associated with the uncontrolled use of portable storage devices within corporations. Today, information theft has become a plague on modern society; data leakage, data ciphering, and data disclosure incidents are all but some of the terms used by security experts to refer to information theft. However, the most original term so far is probably the term 'pod slurping' that was coined by US security expert Abe Usher (2005).
Pod slurping: An easy technique for stealing data
Usher uses the term 'pod slurping' to describe how MP3 players such as iPods and other USB mass storage devices can be easily used to steal sensitive corporate data. "There are dishonest people in the world", says Usher, "many of them work at many companies – and these USB devices make it rather trivial to steal huge amounts of data" (Schick, 2006). To demonstrate the vulnerability of corporate security, Usher developed a "proof of concept" software application that can automatically search corporate networks and copy (or "slurp") business critical data onto an iPod. This software application runs directly from an iPod and when connected to a computer it can slurp (copy) large volumes of corporate data onto an iPod within minutes. What's more is that slurping is not limited to iPods and MP3 players alone. All portable storage devices can be used to slurp information; digital cameras, PDAs, thumb drives, mobile phones and any other plug-and-play devices which have storage capabilities! Data slurping is a very simple automated process and does not require any technical expertise; a user may plugin the portable storage device to a corporate workstation and by the time it takes to listen to an MP3, all the sensitive corporate data on that workstation is copied to the portable storage device.
Insider information theft is a real problem
Information theft has now become a major concern for every organization and thus data leakage prevention is slowly taking up a bigger portion of the IT budget. This drive is attributed to two factors: The wave of malevolent threats that is hitting every industry and the increase in regulatory requirements which demand more protection and tighter controls over client records and other confidential information. More stringent controls and severe penalties are forcing organizations to address regulatory compliance more seriously. In January 2006, the Federal Trade Commission charged commercial data broker ChoicePoint Inc. a settlement fee of 15 million dollars for leaking consumer data and violating consumer privacy rights (Federal Trade Commission, 2006). A misconception shared by many organizations is that security threats mostly originate from outside the corporation. In fact, countless dollars are being spent every year on firewalls and other solutions that secure the corporate perimeter from external threats. However, statistics show that internal security breaches are growing faster than external attacks and at least half of security breaches originate from behind the corporate firewall. Unfortunately, corporate insiders are the first and easiest route to evade perimeter security. The trusted position of corporate employees and their constant exposure to corporate data makes detecting and stopping of data theft an enormous challenge – especially in environments where corporate data is largely distributed!
Why would insiders want to slurp information?
Corporate data can be profitable in various ways; blueprints, engineering plans, tenders, pricelists, source code, database schemas, sound files, lyrics and much more – all this valuable intellectual property may be exploited
by individuals or corporations to gain economical and business advantage over their competitors. The 2006 CSI/FBI survey indicates theft of intellectual property as having the fourth highest economical effect over organizations (Gordon et al., 2006). Malicious perpetrators may also steal sensitive consumer information such as medical and financial records from a company and divulge it to the public. This would damage the company's reputation as well as make it liable to legal prosecution for violating consumer privacy rights. In a nutshell, malicious intent, monetary gain and curiosity are probably the major motives behind information
theft. Anyone is an enemy for a price and thus perpetrators can be various. Disgruntled employees that believe they are disrespected or exploited by their employers may take advantage of their trusted position and sell
corporate plans and other sensitive information to direct competitors. Former employees who feel they have been unfairly dismissed may use their inside knowledge or exploit internal relationships to access, steal and
publicly expose consumer information and damage the company. Trusted insiders can also turn into paid informers and engage in industrial espionage, data warfare or other extensive fraudulent activities such as
'identity theft'. The term 'identity theft' refers to crimes in which someone obtains and uses the personal details of another person (e.g. social security or credit card number) to commit criminal acts, usually for financial gain. To date it is the fastest growing crime in the United States. It was estimated that identity theft victims amounted to around nine million adults in the U.S. in 2005 (Johannes, 2006).
How can corporations mitigate the risks of information theft?
The key advantage of iPods and similar portable storage devices is easy access. In theory, this may be of great advantage for corporations. However, it is a well-reported fact that access and security are at opposite ends of
the security continuum. The reason is that you never know what users may be doing with their portable devices. An employee might appear to be listening to music on his iPod, but actually he or she might be uploading malicious files or slurping gigabytes of valuable corporate data. A possible solution to avoid information theft is to implement a corporate-wide portable storage control policy. To mitigate the security risks, some experts and researchers suggest conventional courses of action such as the physical blocking of ports, stringent supervision as well as drastic actions such as the total ban of iPods and similar devices from the workplace. However, this is not the best practical approach. Portable storage devices can be beneficial tools for the corporate workforce and a blanket ban would be counter-productive. In addition good practice dictates that you must never rely on voluntary compliance.

Belle Walker lives in a strict society where women are treated as property, sold to the highest bidder soon after their eighteenth birthday. But the auction isn't the only danger. Though she's never seen them, she knows monsters live outside the city. These creatures have allowed the humans a small area to inhabit with the promise to leave them in peace as long as they never cross the boundary. On the day Belle is sold, one of the monsters breaks that promise and enters the city, intent on having her as his own.
WARNING: This book is intended for an adult audience and contains master/slave, multiple partners, girl on girl, alien sex, and oral play.
I totally loved this novella and the sci-fi trait was a real, great revelation! Kitty Thomas built an intriguing futuristic society on a different planet, where humans and monsters inhabit different areas and have very different cultures. Surprise, surprise, the monsters' one is way far better. It's scary to find yourself more in syntony with them, but believe me, their traditions and reasoning completely make sense and these creatures are really unique and fascinating. I loved when Master put his wings around Annabelle, his mate, a really beautiful image that can be read like protective, possessive or why not, both of them. After all, aren't these two main characteristics of a Master?
I devoured "The Auction" in a couple of hours and yes, I was about to start re-reading it again because of OMG-Monster-Masters... A girl, a cave, two brothers, Master (the sadistic one) and Sir, then a series of kinky-hot things that put you in that psychological twist that Kitty Thomas knows how to use so well every single time, and if you really explore it and manage to embrace it, then you're done. There is no escape, monsters or not (but always blushing a lot) Kitty's books are a superb pleasure to read.
What do you think about my review?
Are you intrigued about "The Auction"?
So, what about this one and other two novellas with one single purchase?
"Submissive Fairy Tales" is a compilation/anthology of Kitty Thomas' previously published novellas: The Auction, Awakening, and The King's Pleasure. And now it's available in ebook and for pre-order for print!

Nicholas K Kicks Off Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week For The Second Season At Lincoln Center
Nicholas K will kick-off Mercedes-Benz Fashion on Thursday, February 10, 9:00 am, following last season when Nicholas K was the first show EVER at Lincoln Center.
Hailing from Arizona, Nicholas and Christopher grew up spending a lot of time in the outdoors and love to go fishing and camping. After living in New York City for several years, the brother & sister duo decided to finally look for a refuge in Upstate NY where they could bring their dog (the popular Boxer, Jake, who always makes the runway exit with them after their shows) and participate in the outdoor sports they love. This search for the perfect cabin, surrounded by protected land with reservoirs, trails for hiking, forests for hunting and streams for fishing, became an inspiration for this upcoming Fall collection.
As Nicholas explains, "For our Fall collection, I was inspired by the woods and rustic living; the survival instinct and going back to primitive ways. The fall colors of the forest are reflected in the palette and overall aesthetic and I used a lot of texture and incorporated Navajo inspired prints. Think log homes, gypsies, stone fireplaces, owls, camping and migration." Movies such as The Wilderness Family, A River Runs Through It, Legends of the Fall and Into the Wild also served as inspiration.
The collection features fabrics such as; rich corduroys, hunter green silk velvets and butter-soft lambskin and warm Mongolian furs. Key styles include chunky hand-knit cable sweaters with hand knotted leather buttons, tiered ruffle skirts that can be worn as dresses and many pieces are made with multifunctional details. Colors include rust orange, hunter green, evergreen, moss, birch, snow, harvest, bark and mud brown.
Since launching their women's line in Fall of 2003, with men's following in 2006, Nicholas Kunz and her brother and business partner, Christopher Kunz, have continued to deliver a downtown city edge to their customer base. Known for their trademark traditional quality and design with modern twists, the brand strives to deliver unique products, which will remain timeless wardrobe staples. In 2009, Nicholas and Christopher were inducted as members of the CFDA, marking a pivotal moment for the brand. The Nicholas K collection is now sold in over 120 stores worldwide and they also recently launched an E-Shop on their website at www.nicholask.com.
Check back on Thursday to see a video of Nicholas K's runway show!

The topic of community gardens is a great opportunity to link our work on shrinking cities to the capstone work of a fellow classmate in the Virginia Tech MURP program in Blacksburg, Basil Hallberg. He wrote his major paper in May 2009 on urban agriculture, entitled: "Using Community Gardens to Augment Food Security Efforts in Low-Income Communities."
This is a great accompanying resource for the posts of Lindsay and myself on community gardens. Basil's paper has more of a focus on health benefits of community gardening and food security that is very interesting. He notes that:
"Thirty-one million Americans live in homes with limited or uncertain access to adequate nutrition (Lawson & Knox, 2002). The same demographic that disproportionably suffers from food insecurity, low income minorities, is also prone to higher rates of diabetes, stroke, asthma, obesity, heart disease, cancer and other chronic health issues."
He also links the lack of access of people in low-income communities leads to "poor diets which are high in caloric intake but inadequate in nutrients" and therefore connected to obesity and a realm of other health issues. The bulk of the paper is a very comprehensive and thoughtful analysis of urban agriculture and local municipalities role in encouraging and maintaining community gardens. Among a diversity of other issues, he also touches on the benefits of local foods and the empowerment associated with neighborhoods growing their own food.
Basil overviews two case studies, one of which is on the Philadelphia Horticulture Society's Philadelphia Green program. A city like Cleveland could gain a lot from this program, as Basil summarizes:
"Community gardens clean-up vacant land that would otherwise blight Philadelphia's neighborhoods. Transforming derelict lots of land into gardens is used as a crime prevention strategy in the city's neighborhoods. Community gardens help retain and attract residents and business to their locations. Many Philadelphia community gardens are utilized to address food security issues within low-income neighborhoods. Nonetheless, while Philadelphia neighborhoods and communities receive many benefits from community gardens, it is important to recall that they exist as primarily a redevelopment strategy to attain other objectives."
His emphasis on quantified short-term gains of the Philly Green program that ultimately serve the long-term goals of redevelopment is particularly poignant to shrinking cities.
Should anyone be interested in contacting Basil about his research and expertise in this area let me know and I will connect you!

The Pirate Bay suffered nigh-on 48 hours of downtime earlier this week, prompting millions of internet users to consider paying for legitimate DVD copies of movies. Or, more likely, to spend 30 seconds looking for an alternate torrent tracker. Anyway, it's back up.
The Bay's large chunk of downtime wasn't caused by the Feds, Interpol, the Swedish government, Julian Assange, or because Barack Obama ordered Navy Seals to steal the site's hard drives because 20th Century Fox complained about all the people currently downloading Prometheus Blu-ray rips.
No, the downtime was in fact due to a broken power distribution unit at its key data centre, a mundane event that won't make the cut should the Pirate Bay story ever receive the Hollywood blockbuster dramatisation treatment.
However, the downtime did cause some confusion. Due to a coincidental raid at Swedish ISP PRQ.se, which used to host some Pirate Bay business and apparently still operates a minor relay for TPB, internet vigilantes decided it was their fault for the Bay's downtime, leading to hacking collective Anonymous threatening revenge on the Swedish government for attacking PRQ and possibly damaging the Bay and other torrent sites.
It's all very serious, this internet business. Never, ever have a smile on your face if you're anywhere near a computer, else you'll get raided. [TorrentFreak]

Regenerative Living
This is a place where I will share some of my favorite topics for regenerative living. Regenerative Design takes us beyond sustainable to the point where we are giving back to our enevironment. We can no longer degenerate the natural systems while sustaining the status quo. People must learn to live within the natural system of ecological balance. When we provide nature with the ingredients to thrive, we can build our lives into niches of the larger ecological system to help it function. This method of design can provide food for us, food for nature, and food for thought…
- Permaculture provides a human scale map toward regenerative living – Rooted in food production, it is a model for humanity to survive & thrive in a permanent culture. It is an ecological design practice for producing Organic Food, Natural Shelter, & Abundant Lives. Check out the Colorado Permaculture Guild to Get Involved Locally.
- Backyard Revolutions – Can help you Design and Build your own Backyard Food Revolution. Grow your own Food to change the System!
- Earthships Biotecture – Is at the forefront of truly sustainable housing. Using garbage (cans, bottles, & tires) as the foundation, The homes are built on the principles of passive solar design, renewable energy, and ecological waste treatment. Check them out and go volunteer for a build – it will change your entire understanding on homes and why we build them.
- Greywater Action is an organization based out of California, who are truly shifting the way we think about waste water. They have enough power to make changes at the Legislative Level, shifting the codes to allow for greywater and blackwater reuse. They also offer wonderful courses for home greywater system design.
- Colorado Srawbale Association – Strawbales are another building material that can make homes that are fully compostable within a 200 year lifespan.
- Geodesic Dome Information – Desert Domes – Making the world a 'Fuller' place
- Solar Energy – Build it Solar is a Renewable Energy website for Do-it-yourselfers
- Ecovilliage Living – Auroville Ecovilliage in India was the birthplace of my quest for regenerative living, it is based on the philosophy of human unity and they hope to one day achieve a self-sustaining city of 50,000 people. Living Routes is the college study abroad program that sent me there to learn. They will send you all over the world to live & learn about sustainability and regenerative living.
- Integrated Aquaponics is currently helping the One Community to achieve their dream of a unified ecovilliage community. We are assisting in the development of their Aquaponics Greenhouses, as well as their regenerative homes and buildings, and energy infrastructure.
These are just some of the topics that I would like to explore more deeply – If you want to talk with me about any of these topics please send me an email – email@example.com

I know some of you are going to curse me for daring to post about outerwear before September has even arrived, but I couldn't help myself! I ripped my beloved J. Crew cherry colored coat at fashion week in February, so I've been keeping an eye out for its replacement ever since.
Vino inspired hues are HOT for fall {remember my bordeaux post?!?} and this plum/wine wool trench coat is right up my alley!
AND it's under $160 at Victoria's Secret! Unless we're talking about a timeless piece like a Burberry trench, I find it difficult to spend a great deal of money on a coat since we don't have much use for them here in Tampa. So, is outerwear on your fall must have list this year lovelies?

The EPA and Energy Department this week issued its 2009 fuel economy guide. Hybrids, once again, dominate the top of the list with five of the six most efficient vehicles. The 2009 Toyota Prius is the leader with ratings of 48 mpg in the city and 45 on the highway.
There are two new entries on the Top 10 list: the diesel-powered Volkswagen Jetta TDI sedan and wagon, and the Smart ForTwo convertible and coupe. The Smart ForTwo is number five on the list, with a rating of 33 mpg city and 41 highway. The Jetta diesels are now capable of passing strict emissions guidelines in all 50 states. The Jetta with a manual transmission is in the No. 7 spot with 30/41 mpg, followed by the automatic version at 20/40 mpg. The manual-transmission Toyota Yaris, and the automatic version, round out the Top 10 list.
The outlines of the 2009 list give a clear picture of the most effective fuel-efficiency strategies available today: hybrid gas-electric technology is at the forefront, followed by clean diesel and small cars.

BJJ / Grappling Best Instructor Job
Is to ensure your safety, but that's not what I want to talk about. I suppose your BJJ instructor's number 2 job is to help guide your development in the art of BJJ / Grappling and while that is as wide as the whole art, I believe it can be summed in this phrase: they are there to help even you out as a grappler.
Are you playing too much guard?
Are you too eager in your submission attacks that you're sacrificing positions?
Are you perhaps too timid in applying your weight and pressure in guard passing?
The way I see it, the only difference between a good coach and a great coach is when do they stop to round your BJJ / Grappling game up.
A great coach will not be satisfied with your development when the cycle is completed and you are well-rounded. That's just the beginning. That's when the real fun starts.
Just when you think that you've learnt the basics well, a great coach will take you back to the beginning and work on your hand and arm placement in the upa. Just when you think you got your armbar escapes working they'll show you tiny grappling tips and timing details that will open doors to counters and counter-counters.
That's the time to be grateful you are with such a great guide. But also, remember that they are still human!
A great jiujitsu instructor looks into your heart.

I think this is an easy comparison to make to language learning. A person can continue improving, learning new vocabulary, and keep learning new things, but they need to go back and revisit things they've learned. They need to review and hit some of the really basics much more solidly (a/an/the, subject/verb agreement, etc) in order to really be considered advanced.
But then, I suppose it really does depend on the goals of the person and the coach. If I'm trying to prepare my student for some language competition, I'll be concerned about different things than the student who wants to be able to communicate better with his girlfriend.
In any case, revisiting the basics rather than continually adding is an important concept in any field!

I totally agree JiuJiu. Comparing to language or music instrument teaching is a great analogy :)
You've inspired a new post :)

Jonathan Blow's console and PC puzzle game The Witness has launched on the Mac App Store a little over a year after first debuting on PS4 and Windows PCs. Like other platforms, the game costs $39.99 [Direct Link] and tasks players with deciphering hundreds of puzzles set on a mysterious island.
Since its release early last year the game has received critical acclaim for its puzzle design, graphics, and secrets-filled backstory. The macOS version ports the same game and experience over to Apple computers running macOS 10.11.6 or later with 4GB of RAM and 5GB available storage space. The game also requires Apple's new Metal graphics technology to run.
You wake up, alone, on a strange island full of puzzles that will challenge and surprise you.
You don't remember who you are, and you don't remember how you got here, but there's one thing you can do: explore the island in hope of discovering clues, regaining your memory, and somehow finding your way home.
The Witness is a single-player game in an open world with dozens of locations to explore and over 500 puzzles. This game respects you as an intelligent player and it treats your time as precious. There's no filler; each of those puzzles brings its own new idea into the mix. So, this is a game full of ideas.
An iOS port of the game has long been in development, and a few developers at Thekla — the game's creators — mentioned in passing recently that the game is still being worked on for iOS, but a launch date is unspecified. Since The Witness is so graphically intensive, the iOS port will require a longer gestation to pare down the visuals in order to run properly on Apple's smartphones and tablets.
The Witness is available today for $39.99 on the Mac App Store [Direct Link]. A Mac version of the game on Steam is also said to be coming in the next few weeks.

I've been going through a tough stint in my bowling game lately. You can read all about it if you want over on my post: A Bad Bowling Pro Bowler.
In other news, I'm starting to learn Macromedia Dreamweaver and would like to learn at least some basics of flash so if anyone out there has knowledge in flash shoot me a line... except for you Aaron... I know where you live.
Lastly, I bumped into an old friend here on LJ last week and I'm pleased about that but the following link is to his friends website, which I found to be one of the coolest things I've seen this side of the new year, check it out and watch the video. I sure wish we at NGS Productions had half the talent that this young man proudly displays on his site.

A California appellate court has sustained a demurrer to a complaint alleging, among other things, intentional infliction of emotional distress filed by a former employee of a car dealership against various coworkers, supervisors, and the owner of the dealership on the grounds that the claim was barred by the exclusive remedy provisions of the California Workers' Compensation Act [see Yau v. Santa Margarita Ford, Inc., 229 Cal. App. 4th 144, 2014 Cal. App. LEXIS 772 (Aug. 26, 2014)]. The plaintiff contended that he had been fired after complaining to the employer's management about fraudulent warranty repair claims being submitted to Ford Motor Company. He filed a civil action for wrongful termination against the employer and an IIED claim against the individual defendants, claiming the latter were involved in the warranty fraud and that they caused plaintiff to suffer emotional distress after he complained about their nefarious activity. He claimed the actions of the employer and individual defendants contravened a fundamental public policy.
The appellate court cited Miklosy v. Regents of Univ. of Cal. (2008) 44 Cal.4th 876, 188 P.3d 629, 80 Cal. Rptr. 3d 690, in which the state supreme court held that even severe emotional distress arising from outrageous conduct that occurred at the worksite, in the normal course of the employer-employee relationship is the type of injury that falls within the exclusive province of workers' compensation. The appellate court indicated that the trial court accordingly did not err by sustaining the demurrer as to the cause of action.

Llano is an adorable small town and I would have loved to explore it in depth. As it was, we had a delicious down-home breakfast at the local diner, the Hungry Hunter. It's right across the street from a place where, after you get your deer, you can drop it off at any hour of the day or night via a kind of self-service meat locker system, and they will dress it for you. Not a problem I ever expect to have, but I guess where there's a need, there's a service to take care of it.
Here's main street in Llano on a Sunday morning.
Texas, as you may have heard, has a very high opinion of itself, but also a sense of humor. In the women's bathroom at the Austin airport, for example, the mirror is engraved with a motto:
Reality -- Texas -- Fantasy
I took this to mean that Texas is somewhere between fantasy and reality. Just in case you ladies need a little reminder about your special Texan place in the universe while you're primping, right?
The mirror was also engraved with the outlines of various "faceless" hairstyles at varying heights. If you stood in the right place, your reflection could "try on" what you looked like with beauty-queen-style big hair, a beehive, pigtails, or another style that might suit your fancy. That part was very cool.
I wish I'd taken a picture, but the restroom was quite busy and I'd have felt a little weird getting out my camera. No telling how lady Texans would react to such foolishness. The last thing I wanted was to have to (figuratively) shoot my way out of town. I suspect they would have been a match for me, with Barbara Jordan as a role model. She's a presence in the Austin airport, too.
Seems like Texas has a tradition of being home to courageous, accomplished women. Like my friend.

J.S. Bach, quite possibly the greatest musical genius history has ever seen, had a talent so great it was unheard even to himself. Known today as the only composer to have never written a single inferior piece of music, whether simple or complicated, his deeply religious conviction made him consider himself a mere vessel of God's creativity.
Rise of The Masters is a high quality collection series gathering all the great and most popular composers of all time.
Starring: Johann Sebastian Bach * Ludwig van Beethoven * Johannes Brahms * Frédéric Chopin * Claude Debussy * Edvard Grieg
George Friderik Handel * Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart * Franz Schubert * Robert Schumann * Piotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky * Antonio Vivaldi
Our most well know classical composers are alive again and they are stronger than ever!

First sighting - Episode 1.01 "Premiere"
Humans are a new species in the Uncharted Territories; only one of them is known to live there. They are a bipedal species, and a fully grown and developed Human is normally five to seven feet high. They are of similar proportion and appearance to Sebaceans, but there are several known differences, such as the bacteria colonizing their digestive tract.
The Human species has a relatively short lifespan of about eighty to ninety cycles. Another physical and biological difference from Sebaceans, and indeed other species, is their relatively poor eyesight and hearing. Vision that Humans consider to be perfect 20/20 is actually remarkably deficient by Sebacean (and other alien race) standards. In their favor, Humans seem to be much more resistant to heat and immune to heat delirium. Humans also lack a paraphoral nerve. Also, they are capable of surviving at least half a minute in empty space without sustaining lasting injuries. Humans are also known to be exceptionally resistant to effects and processes of Aurora Chair. This is apparently a very uncommon trait.
Humans inhabit only one planet, their homeworld, which they call "Earth." They are the dominant species on this insignificant planet, roughly seventy percent of which is covered with water. Humans have yet to develop any significant space flight abilities, having only made their first forays into space in the last forty to fifty cycles.
One observer noted that if Humans are remembered at all, it will most likely be for the quality of their manual labor.

What if you wanted in order to style it using the familiar design tools of the Divi and Additional Theme Customizer?

Upload and activate the plugin because normal. There are no settings in order to adjust. The features are ready to use.
Customizing a Form
Iâve placed the default contact form into a page with all of the arrears styling. Iâll make all of my changes to this form one at a time. Then weâll see an instance or two.
The new styling features are usually added to the Theme Customizer. Open the Theme Customizer (or Module Customizer â they both work) and click on Caldera Forms Style Customizer .
This adds twenty new customization tabs to customize every aspect of the form including text, buttons, fields, toggle switches, date picker, breadcrumbs, and so on. Hereâs a look at each establishing.
Text Fields
Text Fields modifications the color of the text, placeholder, and border, as well as edge width, border radius, and single range height of the fields.
Text Fields Hover
Text Fields Hover adjustments the text, field, and border shades.

The blue one is the selected switch.

Other Buttons
Caldera has several additional forms of buttons. Other Buttons controls everything except Submit and Reset. Adjust the colors for the font, border, plus background, and adjust the border thickness and radius. In this example Iâve created Previous and then buttons.
Other Buttons Hover
Other Buttons Hover regulates the hover colors for the fonts, border, and background.
Date Picker
Date Picker includes regular and float colors within the same tab. Adapt the colors for the font and background. In this example Iâm hanging over the 10 and the 12 will be selected.
Upload File Checklist
Upload File List controls the colors to get the background and text within the particular list of files that are published.
Section Break
Section Break handles the section breakâs color, border size, and top and bottom margins.
Breadcrumbs lets you choose the colors for the fonts for both the particular active page and other links, the separator, background, and border. Adjust the particular border width and radius.

Success Alert adjusts the font, background, and border colors, as well as the border radius and width. It also changes the box height.
Assorted provides you with control over the colors intended for the required icon, fields in error, description text, bank card color, and credit card icon position. The description text includes the font size, letter spacing, and text transform options. Iâve chosen uppercase.
I created a resume upload form (actually this is constructed into Caldera Forms, but I did click on the button to select it), and set it as being a modal. First We want to style the page along with the Divi Builder.
Iâve added a background image and selected colors that contrast rather than blend with the history.
This particular one uses exactly the same settings with the different background. This time I didnât use the form in a modal. Rather than having a white background, the particular form fields are put directly over the particular image.
Import Export
Itâs simple to import or export your Caldera Forms styles that youâve created in the customizer. In Dashboard go to Caldera Forms , Styles â Import / Foreign trade . This imports and exports the particular styles as a JSON file, permitting you to easily use your Caldera Type styles on any website that utilizes this plugin. All of your design will be overwritten with the styling of the imported file.
License and Support
The plugin can be purchased being a one year license with renewals costing fifty percent the price. The license allows the plugin to be used on 1 website and includes twelve months of assistance and updates.
Final Ideas
It found this plugin easy to use. The Customizer settings are intuitive. Theyâre labeled well plus arranged in a way that can make sense. I had no trouble finding any of the settings I wished. I would like to see any easy way to get back to the default settings all at as soon as or make global adjustments (such as increasing or decreasing the overall darkness of all the colors). Thatâs most likely not realistic, however it sounds interesting.
Itâs impossible to style person forms with the Customizer settings. Most forms use this same styling as being a global setting and will have in order to be styled on an individual basis using the styling features of Caldera. This particular is the nature of the Theme Customizer. If youâre interested in design your Caldera Forms on a worldwide basis thereâs no easier way to do it than to use Caldera Forms Style Customizer for Divi and Extra.
We desire to hear from you. Maybe you have attempted the Caldera Forms Style Customizer pertaining to Divi and Extra plugin? Let all of us know that which you think about it in the comments.

Hallucinogenic Plants
This is a fairly complete list of the Hallucinogenic Plants
important to our ancestors in the Old West. – Doc
The use of powerful natural hallucinogenic drugs (entheogens*) is common throughout the world in rite-of-passage; various "purification"/vision quest ceremonies; to work magic and, more in modern times, for recreation. Some, such as marijuana and opium, (both imports to the West) turn out to be very useful medications as well. The actual extent of the use of these plants and the drugs extracted from them, among various Native American tribes, is not completely known. Usage, no doubt, varied from tribe to tribe, relative to culture, religion, historical knowledge and availability of the plants/extracts, etc. It is probable that all of the known endemic plants were available, at one time or another, along the extensive trade routes extending throughout the continent. It would seem unlikely that any Medicine Man, worth the name, would not know all such that were available and how they were to be used. Even so, not all were used everywhere, anywhere, or at a given time. Note the migration from the south, and the changing focus of the Peyote** ritual. The magic mushrooms of Mexico, were surely in some north bound peddlers pack, even though several related panaeolus species were known in the north. Several other South American plants listed below may have also occasionally appeared in the trade. The Chinese certainly brought opium*** but the white man already had laudanum**** and it was he who brought marijuana***** (cannabis), another product of Asia. {001}
*entheogen ("generating the divine within")
A psychoactive substance used in a religious, shamanic, or spiritual context, as opposed to recreational uses.
**see Peyote – below
***Opium – below
****The Originals Index – Resources & Hazards – Medicinal Plants – Opium Poppy/laudanum)
*****Marijuana – below
Ethanol – aka: alcohol, ethyl alcohol, grain alcohol, and drinking alcohol. The alcohol found in alcoholic drinks, it is a psychoactive substance but it is not normally viewed as an entheogen. It is usually only used as a recreational drug.
A simple alcohol with the chemical formula C2H5OH, volatile, flammable, a colorless liquid with a slight characteristic odor. Ethanol is, of course, not a plant, but for the purpose of human ingestion, it is usually naturally produced by the fermentation of the sugars in plants (fruits or grains) by yeasts. It can be fatally toxic to humans, in a number of ways, when used in excess. {001}

Jimson Weed (Datura stramonium) Active ingredients: hyoscyamine, scopolamine and other tropane alkaloids. Native to North America [now worldwide] , The plant was commonly available for collection. Certainly not used by the average people of any known tribe, but it may well have been an item of "trade" to healers as medication and for medicine men as a "path" to visions. All parts of the plant are used in various ways, the seeds being particularly "active". This may well have been the "wysoccan" (no doubt, including some other ingredients) given by the Algonquin to young men just prior to undergoing the initiation rituals to manhood. Said to have caused temporary insanity and a forgetting of one's childhood so that the young adult would begin with only new memories. Southwest Natives performed divination; prophecy and, ritualistic cures with the aid of Datura family plants. Photo: U.S. PD 2005, Tabor {001}

The following is a list of video games; indeed, one could make the argument that they are the Five Best Games of 2013.
In fact, I will be making this argument. This is my year-end games list! Now, a note beforehand… my game budget is not large, which means that the games I buy I choose carefully, and most brand-new AAA titles are outside of my grasp. That is to say that the set of games I've played that actually came out in 2013 is small, and doesn't include, say, GTA V or certain other industry notables. Whether that means they would make it onto my top 5 is something we can never know.
Shall we begin?
5: Antichamber
3: Gunpoint
2: The Stanley Parable
1: Gone Home.
Very good. The decision has been made, and there can be no debate, these are the games of the year.
What's that? You want more elaboration? Ugh. FINE. Continue reading

The Truth: what I liked from Momofuku
When I look back at all the recipes I've cooked from Momofuku, there are definitely some standouts: momofuku ramen (with store bought noodles), kimchi stew, cherry tomato salad, most of the ssäms, and the pan-roasted dry-aged rib eye. It's not surprising to me that all of my favourites are recipes from Noodle Bar and Ssäm bar because truly, I'm just a down home kind of girl.
For me, much of the appeal of cooking at home is just that: cooking at home. I can eat fancy pants dishes in my pajamas and most of the times the food I make tastes just as good as going out.
Yes, most of Chang's dishes take a lot of planning and pre-cooking, but I really feel like they're worth it.
What I would totally make again:
Ramen Broth, Pork Belly and Pork Shoulder
The ramen broth takes over 10 hours, but if you're Chinese like me and grew up with your mom stirring a steaming pot of soup for days on end, you know 10 hours is nothing for delicious, deep, complex broth. If you can't be bothered to sit at the stove for 10 hours, break the cooking time down.
Cooking the broth over two days will take longer, but it means less time in your house, skimming and watching a pot boil. Flavour-wise, I found that breaking down the cooking time didn't affect the flavour at all.
The pork belly and pork shoulder that go with the ramen are ridiculously easy to make, so go ahead and make them already! They taste great in the ramen, but you can use them for so many other things: pork buns, on rice, with noodles, in kimchi stew, the possibilities are endless.
Kimchi Stew
Before Momofuku and making my own kimchi, I swore I thought kimchi was evil. Even small pieces were intolerable. The flavours were too aggressive, too vinegary, too much. Even so, something changed though when I made Chang's kimchi. I still don't like eating it out of the jar (Mike does!), but when you cook it, something crazy delicious occurs. It was because of kimchi stew that I have a new found love for kimchi. Kimchi fried rice, kimchi devilled eggs, kimchi udon, I love it all!
Cherry Tomato Salad
Chang's tomato salad is a riff off a traditional caprese salad. I love the way tomatoes taste when they're peeled; they're less acidic and somehow more tomatoey. The creaminess of the tofu sits in perfectly for mozzarella and the shiso adds a touch of exotic. This happens to be one of the easiest recipes in the book and subsequently, it's one of the recipes that I've already made more than once.
Lemongrass Pork Sausage Ssäm
I love lemongrass and in this ssäm the lemongrass really shines. It's a great dish: easy to make, tasty and fun. Food assembly at the table is one of my fetishes; if you're coming over to dinner, expect to put together your own dinner 3 times out of 5.
Pan-Roasted Dry-Aged Rib Eye
Mike is the person that usually cooks the steaks around here, but after having the pan-roasted rib eye, I think that butter basting is the way to go when cooking steak. I'll be making more steaks drowned in buttery, thyme, garlic and shallot goodness very soon.
Tomorrow, recipes I would have been better off not making.

Math lessons: Futurama styleJanuary 14, 2008
Do you like Futurama? Are you geekish enough to have fun with the math and IT jokes in the futurama episodes?
Them maybe this is something for you
Dr. Sarah's Futurama Math: Mathematics in the Year 3000:
Futurama is a rare exception in broadcast television – a satirical science fiction cartoon that aims its jokes squarely at the top of the brow. Futurama is especially fun to watch because math, science, or programming references seem to appear in almost every episode.
For example, Ken Keeler, who has a Ph.D. in applied mathematics from Harvard University (…) was asked whether his education paid off, he responded: "Well, sure. For example, Bender's serial number is 1729, a historically significant integer to mathematicians everywhere; that "joke" alone is worth six years of grad school, I'd say."

How big will video be in 2018? That's an easy one: VERY big. Many saw 2017 as the year of video marketing, but it's set to be even bigger this year. So is your business making the most of video?
People love watching video online because it's so easy to consume and share. According to Wyzowl's State of Video Marketing report, a person will typically watch at least 90 minutes of online video content every day.
Now more businesses than ever before are using video to help them stand out in the marketplace. The Wyzowl report reveals that 81% of businesses are using video as a marketing tool. This is up from 63% in 2017 – a significant leap.
Furthermore, of the businesses that don't currently use video, 65% say that they intend to do so in 2018. And crucially, of those that already use video as part of their marketing strategy, an incredible 99% said that they will continue to do so.
If you're not currently using video you could be missing out on thousands of potential customers. The report finds that 81% of consumers have been encouraged to buy a product or service after watching a video. The majority of businesses affirm that video increases user understanding, sales, web traffic and website dwell time. It really can benefit a variety of business functions.
If you want 2018 to be the year that your product or service takes off, you need to take advantage of this opportunity to attract attention and get noticed ahead of your competitors.

Anyone who knows me knows that I am constantly studying. Every morning I do studies for at least an hour before I start working. I love animation, so I usually pause DVD's and do little sketches of what I see. I also take as many classes as I can and go to life drawing about 3 times a week. At night I take out books and do studies as well. Sometimes I want to post little demos on what I've learned, but I feel like I'm in a constant state of learning and whenever I think I know something, I always find a better way of doing it later. But, I'll never know everything, so here is a little demo on drawing the torso. Keep in mind that the first part is the most important. In drawing I try to come up with the simplest forms I can. In most of my work I try to leave the drawing in that big simple form. If you can't get that right, when you layer all the overlaps and detail on top, it won't matter.

"Orphans" That's it! I have just moved my entire "workshop/studio" from my spare room at home to a new studio space in my framing workshop and found I have a lot of miscellaneous things too...many of them..at least I now have a name for them - Orphans! - with that in mind I will take better care of them. Pity I do not have a tape measure addiction:) Each one of your orphans look beautiful.ReplyDelete
good creations

Quit Snacking and Smoking the Taste T Way!
With all the New Year's resolutions to quit snacking and smoking, this information is definitely helpful!
Cinnamon Curbs the Urge and More
HESPERIA, Calif., Sept. 15 /PRNewswire/ — The use of cinnamon dates back over 4,000 years. It has a broad range of historical health applications in different cultures, and over those years some of the anecdotal uses included boosting cognitive function and memory, treating rheumatism, helping with digestion and relieving certain menstrual disorders. In addition, when added to food, it inhibits bacterial growth and food spoilage, making it a natural food preservative.
A more significant use was recently discovered at the United States Department of Agriculture. Dr. John Andersonis found cinnamon beneficial for regulating glucose. In the body, sugars and starches are broken down into glucose, which then circulates in the blood. According to the research, cinnamon appears to mimic insulin and helps to drive glucose into the cells. This improved insulin function could be helpful for lowering blood sugar levels.
Cinnamon is also being recommended in a more current use: to help curb the urge for tobacco. The National Institute of Health recommends chewing cinnamon sticks when trying to quit the use of tobacco. Another effective product that people use to help with overeating and tobacco use is cinnamon toothpicks.
"A lot of our customers use our cinnamon toothpicks to help curb the urge to snack and smoke," explains Randi Caporale, Operation Manager for Candy Crate, Inc. "Smoking Centers and Rehabilitation Centers are a big part of our Cinnamon Toothpick sales," explains Caporale. Candy Crate recently launched their own line of Hot Cinnamon Toothpicks under the label of Taste-T-Picks. Candy Crate decided to get into this niche market after their existing supplier stopped production and customers were anxious for a replacement, so they started working on an "All Natural" Cinnamon Toothpick. "The only other comparable product out there contains sugar and artificial flavoring," explains Caporale. "Our flavored toothpicks contain pure cinnamon oil – that's it – simple and pure tasty picks."
Some people like to chew it, others enjoy baking with it. From seasoning main dishes to desserts, to helping folks curb their urges, cinnamon has proved to be a popular ingredient in foods and a spice with many health benefits. Fill the kitchen with the sweet smell of cinnamon when you cook next time and you may be doing more for yourself than just satisfying your taste buds.
Entering into their 10th year on the web, CandyCrate.com is one of the leading Internet sites for hard-to-find old-fashioned candy and memorabilia. Their Internet site also contains useful information such as a list of "Candy through the Decades," "The History of Candy," and "Chocolate and Candy Trivia." For more information, visithttp://www.CandyCrate.com, or stop by their warehouse in Hesperia, California.

St John's Church in Sharow near Ripon has hosted a concert with a difference.
The concert was part of a joint project by local primary schools to celebrate classical music as part of the nationwide BBC Ten Pieces Project.
Emily Smith, a vocal coach from North Yorkshire, held a workshop in the afternoon, which included some fun warm-up activities and then set to teaching children from Markington, North Stainley and Grewelthorpe primary schools how to sing Zadok the Priest by Handel.
Emily was impressed with how quickly the children picked up the music, and told them they compared favourably with her adult choirs.
In the evening, a few of the children returned to St John's for the evening performance.
There was a very varied programme including the children, amateur singers and professionals. The primary orchestra opened the proceedings with their versions of Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, John Adams' A Short Ride in a Fast Machine and the finale to Stravinsky's Firebird Suite.
The audience was shown a pair of films of workshops taking place at Kirkby Malzeard and West Tanfield schools, given by Phoenix Dance.
The Lay Clerks, who sing at Ripon Cathedral, demonstrated the ranges of their voices, including a countertenor (male alto) who amazed the children with how high he could sing. They used this variety of voices to sing an unaccompanied version of In the Hall of the Mountain King, followed by a sublime performance of Mozart's Ave Verum, accompanied on the organ by Alasdair Jamieson.
The concert was brought to an uplifting conclusion by the children's choir, St James' Parish choir, members of Ripon Choral Society, the Lay Clerks and a few volunteers from the audience singing the anthem Zadok the Priest, accompanied by Alastair Jamieson. The full sound raised the rafters and inspired the children and adults alike.
Refreshments were laid on after the concert by members of the church and there was a chance for the various different participants to socialise with each other and the audience. A retiring collection raised around £75 for St John's church.
It was the ideal first step towards their next concert, which will be held in Ripon Cathedral on May 23.

Signal Intelligence
A technique that was pioneered in the 1960s and 1970s called Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) uses high-power radio monitors, remote surveillance, satellite imagery, and radar systems to monitor and detect hostile and illegal activities before and while they unfold. Systems are deployed remotely and backhauled to central monitoring and coordination sites.
Today's high-performance Signals Intelligence (SIGINT) systems require massive processing power to detect, identify, and classify an enormous number of highly complex signals. SIGINT systems typically consist of a variety of functional elements – signal processors (themselves often consisting of multiple processing elements), snapshot memory buffers, high-speed data recorders, and bulk storage – all residing in multiple physical units, connected through high-speed data pipes. In many application data flows, the processing elements within and between the distinct units need to be interconnected using switched fabrics.
