Thursday Morning News
A hands-on with the unreleased Portrait mode from Techcrunch tells us about how the feature works by separating the foreground and background. By combining images from the regular and telephoto lenses in the iPhone 7 Plus, the camera system can automatically determine which parts of the image are in the background, apply a slight blur effect, and stitch it all back together. There are plenty of examples of how the feature works, and they're not bad.
John Gruber talks about design as branding, in which he says Apple is doing a fine job of not only making the iPhone appear more desirable with every iteration, but also no less recognisable as an iPhone. The Jet Black iPhone is the closest thing we've had to the original plastic backs of the iPhone 3G and 3GS, only it's aluminium instead of plastic. The iterative process of the design is always moving forward, but you'll always recognise that it's an iPhone.
The good news is, Apple says it has investigated allegations of sexism within its workforce and taken action. Recode spoke with Apple's chief of HR Denise Young Smith, who said that even companies like Apple who value diversity face challenges in a male-dominated field. But everything's hunky-dory at your workplace, I'm sure.
ITunes Gift Cards as scams have become so commonplace that there's now and Apple Support article about scams involving iTunes Gift Cards. For what it's worth, please don't attempt to pay your tax bill (or any other bill, for that matter) using iTunes Gift Cards.
The first beta of iOS 10.1 has been seeded to developers, along with watchOS 3.1 and tvOS 10.0.1. The first iOS 10.1 beta brings the portrait photo mode to the iPhone 7 Plus, with access to barometric pressure data for developers also present as a feature. No word if or when Apple will be releasing the betas to members of its public beta testing program.
The first beta of macOS Sierra 10.12.1 has also been seeded to developers, with no new features as yet. MacRumors even says it's likely a bug fix and performance improvement release that fixes issues encountered between whenever Sierra went GM (twice) and its release.
Rumours of Apple acquiring McLaren Automotive have been denied by the latter, despite separate reports from the Financial Times and the New York Times. McLaren's statement says that it "is not in discussion with Apple in respect of any potential investment" at this time.
The second acquisition rumour for today is to do with a self-balancing motorcycle startup called Lit Motors. The company's C-1 vehicle looks something like a cross between a motorcycle and a single-passenger car, and it's rumoured Apple has already lured away several of Lit Motors' employees.
The bill of materials cost breakdowns for the new iPhones no way reflect the actual value you're getting from the device, and are not necessarily a good indicator of how much R&D goes into the total price, but estimates put the BOM for the iPhone 7 at around US $225. The iPhone 7 Plus is estimated to be higher again.
The Mac Observer has an interesting poll on Twitter for those of us with the iPhone 7 — which home button haptic feedback level did you choose? I originally chose level 3 because I was missing a physical button, but I've since toned that down to 2 given I usually get pretty good on-screen feedback about when I've pressed the button. What about you?

Air Fresheners Pack of 2
A special 2 pack of Gaskings Air Fresheners – offering a much reduced price!
Choose from 4 scents – mix and match!
Black Code: Dark & mysterious with a smooth citrus, sweet scent!
Bubblegum: Mouth watering Scent
Cool: Cool and invigorating
Zen: A natural scent – soft but not too sweet. Strong but not overpowering
Perfect to cover up all your un-pleasant smells in the car!
Each fragrance has its own design on 1 side, with the standard TheKing logo on the reverse side.
Once opened, fragrances can last up to 20 days* under the right conditions or more.
If buying more than 1 air freshener – left unopened in a cool, dry place, the fresheners can be stored for 1 year or more.
*External factors effect the life of fresheners:
Direct sunlight – If the car is in direct sunlight, the fragrance may only last a week, this is because the sun melts the fragrances at a faster rate. Car heaters – Regular use of the heater will also 'melt' the fragrance quickly, reducing its lifetime. Dirty cars and smoking – pollutants can reduce the length of time a freshener lasts too, as can frequently driving with the windows open.
Tip… If you only remove part of the wrapper, the fragrance can last up to four weeks or more!

I did it
This was something I wish I didn't need to do. But, I spend a lot of time on this site, and it has really impacted my other work (that means my paying work). I care deeply about this blog and the content I share. It is a labor of love.
The system is set up for anonymous donations. I have chosen to use a very simple site called WePay and avoid the excessive complications involved with PayPal.
Just so you know, I am not sure this is the right thing for me to do, it weighs a little heavy on me. I may take the button down if it feels like it isn't in line with what my heart says is okay.
And - I promise that I'll NEVER put advertisements on this site.

Mike, I couldn't get to a donate page for you. It goes to a general paypal page.
Don't feel bad, You work hard on this.
You can delete this and good luck getting the paypal page tweaked.
- September 4, 2012 at 9:41 PM
I don't think anyone that publishes audio online need feel guilty for putting up a donate button. Bandwidth is bandwidth and it costs what it costs. If I had anything to spare, I'd gladly contribute. The fact that Hidden Experience is free of advertising shows your sincerity. I'm sure those you've touched, who are able, will be more then happy to contribute to ease the burden of publishing. The stories you've shared and the content you've curated are a wonderful resource. Cheers to you!

Thanks for the feedback. I just revised the payment option from PayPal to a much simpler site called WePay.
I don't know what it is, but PayPal is kinda creepy.

I think its an excellent idea! If this was just personal experiences maybe that would be a bit much. But its not-- you have to line up interviews and then post them. That creates costs, time, and trouble for you and its entirely reasonable to allow a way for people who are appreciative to help you out when they can.
- September 10, 2012 at 11:30 PM
Last night while listening to one of your interviews I wondered, "How does Mike manage to get all this done by himself?" Then today I found this post, and I'll be clicking that button. All the other podcasts and radio programs I listen to are at least partly funded by subscription or donation. I'm glad to support work that I value!

|[Caml-list] Re: Documentation tools
I've used dozens of source processing, documentation, and literate programming tools over the years. I think that a simple, but extensible, javadoc-like document processor is the right way to go. The inclusion of a standard set of document tags with *well-defined* semantics is a must. My research group and companies use an extensive code standard(1) with complementary tools for documentation(2) and test code generation(3) for exactly this purpose and we and our customers been very happy with this solution. My only regret is that we are generating renderable formats (e.g. HTML) directly rather than indirectly. This leads me to the following suggestion. I *strongly* suggest the powers that be look into the Linux Documentation Project(4) tools, namely sgml-tools and related(5). >From a single, very simple SGML source the following formats can all be generated: HTML, info, LaTeX, LyX, RTF, txt, man pages. I've been very happy with both the use of these tools as well as their output for the past couple of years. Best, Joe Kiniry -- Joseph R.

So I'm resurrecting this post and inviting comments from both young men about what attracts them to older women and from older women about how a younger man can find them and make contact. Are any of the online dating sites especially good to help younger/older connect?
Note: I am NOT matchmaking here, though many young men have begged me to post their email addresses or phone numbers. No, I won't do that. And guys, please don't ask me personally to hook up with you! That kind of request -- yes, I do get them -- feels creepy, and I won't even answer to tell you to stop it. Just stop it. And no, I don't want to know how big or hard your penis is or how long it can perform -- and I really don't want to see a photo of it. Just. Stop. It.
So, that said -- most of the people who ask for help are sincere, respectful, and sensitive to their partner's desires and pleasure. Realize that our age and experience has not turned us into an alien species -- treat us like valued human beings, interesting for more than sex. And please see other posts on this topic here.
Leopardy is a 22-year-old male in Australia who likes older women. He emailed this story to me:
I've had 2 women in my life (sexually only). Great fun, I must admit, but it tears you apart when the bad has to come up. I like older women for their maturity and for their gorgeous features, such as lips, hips, legs, and fragrance, mmmmmmm. I admit I find it rather hard to find the perfect older woman as they all tend to lead me on then shoot me off which hurts like hell.
I met a woman online back in 2004. After 3 months chatting I gave her my details and she came up here. We had sex, and then she really got abusive and threatened me with police threats etc. She told her so-called friends about me and said what a pathetic useless peice of shit I was.
I'd like to know how to approach older women. I just want a woman that can understand me, one that takes me for who I am and NOT degrade me in any way.
Thank you for been so supportive and having a wonderful site. I can't even recall how I got hold of your site, but I was amazed and immediately added it to my favourites.
Leopardy, I encourage you to get to know the older women who attract you before you jump into bed with them. Those who are looking for quick fun probably won't value you the way you want. It's fine to seek a match online, but if you seem to connect, please take some time dating and becoming friends so that you know who she is and she knows you.
That might mean you don't get the instant pleasure and excitement of sex with a stranger who seems to fit your fantasy, but if what you're looking for is a respectful relationship, that takes time to unfold and nurture.
That doesn't answer your question about how to approach older women. I'll repeat the suggestions I gave Sean:
1. Converse, listen (very important!), and flirt as you would with a woman of any age. Yes, she'll recognize the signs. She might be shy about letting you see her signs, in case she fears she's misreading yours, so keep her talking.
2. Don't rush things along -- she wants to know that she interests you as a person, not just a potential bed partner.
3. Look into her eyes a lot. Really listen and respond to what she's saying.
4. Lean towards her to give the body signal that you're interested. Watch for these signs from her: eye contact; leaning towards you; arms relaxed (not crossed in front of chest); playing with hair, clothing, or jewelry.
5. After a nice, long conversation, where you feel there's a connection, you might ask her outright: "I wonder if there's any reason I should not ask you out."
6. If she says, "I'm old enough to be your mother," you can ask, "I really like the maturity and intelligence of older women. The question is, am I too young to interest you?"
7. If you're really brave, carry a copy of one of my books. When she asks about the book, say something like, "I find older women very attractive, and I hope this book will help me understand them better -- in all ways."
I'd love to hear from readers about this topic. I know many readers come to my blog seeking information about older women/younger men relationships, so please contribute yours.
-- Joan

For some people it may not be the most romantic of songs. It says it plain and simple 'You have stolen my heart'.

Be extra generous this Easter with the perfect gift for the Easter bunny: bunny bait cookies!
I've always sort of empathized with the Easter bunny. I mean, of all the holidays, Easter is up there on the most fun at all ages. The bunny literally brings you chocolate and you have a glorious feast and sometimes you get post-church brunch AND a feast and you get a treasure hunt. It's amazing. And yet, contrary to everything you parents have ever taught you about etiquette, you give the Easter bunny nothing. It's awful.
This year we are changing things up with a little tongue-in-cheek gift for the Easter bunny (or favours for your Easter dinner!): bunny bait!
This little project couldn't be easier, all you need is some Easter themed takeout containers (I got a couple adorable ones at Bulk Barn for super cheap), some packing material (another $1 Bulk Barn find), sugar cookies and our free printable! The carrot cookies are super easy, and if you're looking for a recipe here is my personal favourite.
How's that for easy?

Pear, Gorgonzola and Bacon Puff Pizzas - the most amazing flavor combination with fall pears, Gorgonzola cheese and a bit of bacon.
Recently attended a harvest party welcoming in fall. Catering was provided by a company that does wood fired pizzas. I am not particularly a pizza fan like some, but these pizzas were outrageously delicious. One in particular. It had bacon, pears and Gorgonzola cheese on it and it was to die for in flavor and everyone went back for more; including me - the non-pizza lover. I haven't been able to get that pizza out of my mind. Well when I spotted the pears and bacon in my stores flyer at a special price, I knew I was going to make something with that same pizza flavor profile in my own home.
Well we don't have a wood burning oven so I nixed using traditional pizza dough and attempting to make us the pizza. Then when I spotted the Pepperidge Farms® Puff Pastry Sheets in the frozen food section of my grocery store, the idea for these Pear, Gorgonzola and Bacon Puff Pizzas just all fell into place.
I have found that using Puff Pastry Sheets is a life saver when it comes to making one of my favorite things: appetizers. Simple and impressive appetizers are the back bone to any great party you are hosting during the holiday season. Family and friends coming together sharing great conversation and it's all centered around the food. It is my hope that you'll find these Pear, Gorgonzola and Bacon Puff Pizzas a wonderful addition to your holiday entertaining!
Here are your ingredients:
- 1 box - Pepperidge Farms® Puff Pastry
- 3-4 strips bacon
- 1/2 lb. Gorgonzola cheese
- 2 Bosc Pears
- 2 tsp. lemon juice
- 3-4 tbsp. half and half
- egg
- water
- Begin by cooking the bacon about half to three quarters of the way so you render a decent amount of the fat. Place the semi-cooked bacon on a paper towel to cool and drain.When cooled, crumble.
- Follow the instructions on the Puff Pastry box to thaw your pastry and for cooking guidelines.
- Once your pastry is thawed enough to use, cut squares from left to right about 3 inches each. Use the guidelines of the pastry folds and cut straight up.
- Fork each Puff Pastry square all over so it doesn't puff up too high.
- Mix an egg with a tablespoon of water. Whisk and brush all of the Puff Pastry squares.
- Peel your pears. Remove the stem. Slice down the middle of the pear then remove the core on each side.
- Slice the pears about 1/4 inch or less thick. Place in a small sauce pot with some lemon juice and fill with 1/2 inch of water. Cook about 8-10 minutes until softened. Strain and cool down. (The alternative is to use canned pears and you can skip this step.)
- In another small sauce pot add the Gorgonzola cheese and about 3-4 tbsp. of half and half. Cook over low heat, stirring until you have a cheese sauce. Add in the crumbled bacon and stir.
- Assembly: spoon some of the cheese and bacon sauce on top of each Puff Pastry square, smoothing out and top with slices of pear. Top with a bit of the cheese and bacon sauce - a little on each pear slice.
- Bake in a preheated 400°oven for about 20-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
The Gorgonzola is all melted and bubbly with those bits of bacon running through and the delightful flavor and texture from the pears along with the flaky Puff Puff Pastry Sheets makes these a really impressive appetizer you'll be proud to serve family and friends.
We can't stop eating these!
I find Puff Pastry Sheets really convenient and I think you will too. That flaky pastry makes such a great vehicle for so many toppings. So, what is your favorite recipe to make using Puff Pastry? Do you make something special just for the holiday season? I'd love to hear from you.
If you need recipe inspiration, please visit the Puff Pastry Home Page for more wonderful and festive recipes to make or if you would like to receive recipes tips and exclusive offers along with their newsletter every month!

Hoffenheim – Liverpool soccer betting review
Hoffenheim – Liverpool soccer betting review
Hoffenheim beats Liverpool in the first playoff game between the two teams in the Champions League. The meeting is tonight at 19:45 at the Rhein-Neckar Arena in Sinsheim.
RB Leipzig may have stolen the Bundesliga show last season with a surprising second place, but Hoffenheim's achievement was also amazing and somewhat shadowy. The small club managed to make its best season when it finished fourth in the last campaign. Their previous best achievement was eighth. They are accustomed to being at the bottom of the standings, but the young specialist at the head of the team, Julian Nagelsman, has just done wonders with this team. The Champions League playmaker's automatic ranking will ease them as they will fail to play directly in the Europa League, so their place in the European club tournaments in the autumn is sure. The Bundesliga season has not yet begun, but Hoffe has begun official matches over the weekend with a 1-0 win over Roth-Wes Erfurt in a first-round match for the German Cup tournament.
Liverpool is among the European Colossi who needed to join and Juergen Klop did just that. The five-time winner of the Champions League as one of their successes in the tournament will be remembered forever – the mad night in Istanbul when they made a great turn over Milan inspired by Steven Gerrard. Liverpool started in the Premiership with a disappointing 3: 3 draw against Watford on Saturday. Previously, they had a very strong pre-season campaign, but it was clear that they still have huge defensive problems. Jurgen Klop is surely pleased that the new recruiter Mohamed Salah scored in his official debut, while Firmino and Manne also scored against the "hurricanes" and were in shape.
Hoffenheim scored 19 goals in their last 20 home games in all races, including a beat over Bayern Munchen and five goals in Borussia Monchengladbach. Liverpool, meanwhile, has made nine of his last 11 matches as a guest in the Champions League league and seems very weak in defense. However, they are also very effective at the top, so we expect to have a result.
Soccer Betting Prediction: Over 2.5 goals

Walton Court Wanderers retained the ADL Premier Division title in emphatic style on Saturday when they beat Downley Albion 6-1 in their final match of the season.
Mo Johnson and Musa Schmidt both bagged braces to fire Wanders to the title. Aylesbury Dynamos have been confirmed as runners-up with Downley finishing bottom of the league. Pond Park Rangers have also been relegated.
There is still a lot to play for in Division One as Aylesbury Park Rangers guaranteed themselves a promotion place with a 3-2 midweek victory over FC Mandeville. Chris Davies hit a hat-trick after Rangers had fallen 2-0 behind.
That was then followed by a 7-1 thrashing at struggling Oving, which puts Aylesbury four points clear at the top although second-placed Wendover have two games in hand.
Aylesbury Sports' hopes of automatic promotion are over following a 2-2 draw with Longwick Sports despite the division's leading scorer Ian Pearce netting twice.
At the bottom, Bedgrove Utd failed to take advantage of Oving's defeat as they were held to a 1-1 draw by Wingrave. Ross Fymruk with the goal. Utd need to win both of their remaining games while Wingrave, who have completed their campaign, must now hope other results go their way in order to avoid relegation.
FC Spandits also remain in relegation trouble following a 7-1 defeat to FC Mandeville. Steve Keating, Chris Hughes, Ryan Macintosh and Adam Mellis were all on the score sheet for Mandeville.
In Division Two, Bucks CC Reserves have wrapped up the runners-up spot behind champions Long Crendon after a 1-0 win over Quainton, Ben Floyd with the only goal.
FC Spandits Reserves and Stone Magnets St Johns have been relegated already.
In Division Three, Long Marston Reserves beat Waddesdon Reserves 3-2 and they now need two wins from their final two games to take the title away from Tring Town AFC.
Waddesdon missed the chance to finish third as a result while Quainton Reserves and Oving Reserves have already been relegated.
Division Four was sorted weeks ago with FC Mandeville Reserves and Tetsworth Reserves promoted.
Bucks CC are into another final after beating Berko Sports 3-0 in the Marsworth Senior Cup semi-finals. They will face Wendover, who caused a cup upset when they shocked Haddenham Utd, who play a division higher, 5-3.
In the Senior Subsidiary Cup, Aylesbury Dynamos beat Pond Park Rangers 6-0 and both have qualified for the semi-finals. Long Marston versus Stone Magnets was postponed but both Marston and Magnets as well as Elmhurst and Waddeson can still reach the semi-finals
In the Junior Subsidiary Cup, Long Crendon Reserves booked their place in the last four with a 3-3 draw against a battling AC Meadowcroft.
AC miss out as do SUFC despite beating Ludgershall Reserves 5-1. Shane Lockley and Chris Cackett with two each and Dave Touceda netting the other in SUFC's final ever game.
Wendover Reserves beat FC Mandeville Reserves 4-2. Tetsworth Reserves now must beat Tring Titans Reserves in midweek to secure a semi-final slot at Wendover's expense.

"New Evidence, Therefore New Thinking" Sayonara Nuclear?
The past week has been heart-wrenching watching Japan be shaken, drowned and radiated beyond any American experience. The initial 8.9 earthquake lasted five whole minutes… by comparison, the Northridge earthquake in California in 1994 was a 6.7 and lasted only 20 seconds, yet caused major damage so the Soutland.
The ongoing aftershocks have been regularly over 6.0 in Japan, the tsunami has wiped out numerous buildings and lives, and the nuclear reactor with its possible meltdown has made the Fukushima 50 famous for exposing themselves to twelve times the amount of radiation allowed by British law.
If there is anything positive we can take away from this week of horror… perhaps it is that this ongoing disaster is raising questions about the safety of nuclear energy. Recently I was watching Real Time with Bill Maher where Mitch McConnell was quoted as saying:
"I don't think right after a major environmental catastrophe is a very good time to be making American domestic policy."
To which Bill Maher responded with:
"Yes it is. I would like to introduce the concept into America of new evidence, therefore new thinking, and my new thinking is, apparently nuclear reactors are never really safe from an earthquake."
Has the Japan earthquake and following nuclear power plant troubles made the logical leap for sustainable power for people who thought nuclear power was acceptable?
Living in California offers great opportunity and at the same time it's share of natural disasters; mud slides, flash floods, fires, riots and of course earthquakes. But last week we experienced a new sort of "threat" with talk all over the news about the radiation cloud from Japan reaching the West Coast. Granted the levels are very minuscule and we have been told time and time again it is harmless, and I am sure some would find a way to argue that point. However, if Bill Maher's comment above holds weight, the big concern for Californians are the nuclear power plants and the impact a large earthquake would have for us here, we have been told the big one is coming for decades now. Perhaps the social impact of the Fukushima nuclear power plant will bring the concern of nuclear energy closer to home. We know that most people do not begin to care about things until it effects them personally, and the last week has began to effect everyone in California personally… or has it?
So I ask you the experts, do you think this catastrophe in Japan will impact how we look at nuclear power? And if so, what would we need to do, or what are we currently doing that makes us well equipped to make up the power difference through renewable sources?

This is a love poem because
I was told last Thursday at a
bar on 4th Street that there
are only two things about
which one can write:
Sex and Death.
Night plays tricks like low-cut
Highland whiskey and great wings
waiting in the fate for her cue. She
steps on stage, recites his lines, and
pauses. Laughter recognizes this,
this will not rest in the Huntington
Library archives. No, this will forever
be on glass box display, low lit and
evening stained. Earth and sugar roll
over her tongue. He knows her taste
before he knows her name that only
means they belong to each other.
Beads of sweat curl neck nape hair
for the infinite first time. They leave the
lights on and draw the blinds. There will
be babies and near misses that make
them homesick because their paths
almost crossed so many times before.
There will not be affairs.
The presence of her breathing assures
him that he matters more than a basement
collection of old props and paintings from
a summer house they just sold to a couple
from Connecticut. They watch the same
movies and argue over cigarettes, succulents,
and soft Latin c's. She prefers days when he
doesn't shave and defiantly grows lovelier
with age. These make him smile. Orgasms
are fair game for guest conversation and
their stories—God their stories about how
he just knew when she stepped from obscurity
into the stars. All his mistakes made sense. Flash
bulbs slip out of focus. Pressing into his side
is home. Crooked toes mean days at the ocean.
Their ocean. Their hills. Their carefully orchestrated
schedule to avoid traffic curling into elbows with
paid bills and questions about who their children
will love. Who their children will marry. If their
children will be lucky enough to have them be
the same person. Like the two of them.
Quiet sets the stage as she walks in.
He becomes entirely too aware of
his hands, belt buckle, the plans he
will have to cancel because he will
ask her to dinner.
Sex happens because it matters.
Death matters because it happens.
She loves poetry. She loves tea and
nothing much – except him. She will
be there when they read his last
rites and she will oversee the writing
and publishing of his obituary. She
is glad they will have children.
Their parts will sum his whole
when she requires her own rites
and last words.

As Michael Jackson's fans prepare to mark the first anniversary of his death on June 25 with concerts, tributes and remembrances, the superstar's father has even bigger plans. Get ready for Michael Jackson Day, an annual, universal day of celebration to honor the King of Pop's life and work. "I would like to see a Michael Jackson Day all over the world," Joe Jackson tells TIME. "And maybe in the United States it would be a holiday. I want Michael's legacy to continue on."
The Jackson patriarch has always been a big talker and the notion is indeed far-fetched. But a year ago, the idea would have been laughable. Following his death, Michael Jackson's imperfect image has seen a rehabilitation of epic proportions. His reconstructed face, his reclusive tendencies, the accusations of his improprieties with young children all have fallen away in the wake of his sudden, untimely demise. "There's an expression for that: In death, all is forgiven," says Marc Schaffel, Jackson's former business partner. "Or at least forgotten."
This selective forgetting looks to continue in earnest. Those who loved Jackson, love him all the more fervently. Schaffel, who had a significant falling out with Jackson, is back in the complicated family fold (he has scored an exclusive interview with Jackson's mother Katherine, airing on NBC Friday night) and is currently in Japan for the premiere of his documentary Michael Jackson: Inside His Private World, based on footage he shot of the pop star in 2003. The movie will open in an impressive 200 theaters in Tokyo on Friday, which he says are sold out for a two-week run.
The image rehabilitation began almost immediately following the news of Jackson's death and was substantiated at Jackson's Staples Center memorial on July 7, 2009. As Michael's brilliant gold coffin glistened nearby, the Rev. Al Sharpton addressed Michael's three children from the podium saying, "There was nothing strange about your daddy. It was strange what your daddy had to deal with." Ever since, those not on board with the Michael Jackson reverence have rarely been welcomed to express it. "Since he's died I haven't heard anyone use a derogatory word against him, much less Wacko Jacko. He is now Michael Jackson," says Schaffel. "Anything else would be disrespectful. He's part of history now."
The Michael renaissance has been enhanced by the public's affection for his children. Before Jackson died, little was known about 13-year-old Prince Michael, 12-year-old Paris and Prince Michael II (or "Blanket"), 8, beyond glimpses of them in gossip magazines wearing eerie masks or veils over their faces. Whereas fatherhood has served to humanize many celebrities, in Jackson's case it only added to the freak show. But his very public memorial service doubled as a coming-out ceremony for the children: they appeared normal and well behaved despite the unimaginable circumstances. Paris' tearful goodbye to her father at the end of the ceremony "Daddy has been the best father you could ever imagine," she said, "and I just wanted to say I love him so much" was not only her first public words; it forever cast Michael in the role of loving patriarch, skeptics be damned.

July Daze!
With a nice honeymoon hiatus for our fine fiddler and our newest mister sister, the gals have slowed down in some ways and sped up in others. We only wish the summer went on a bit longer, don't you? We're revving up together again and taking our new CD in and out of town, proudly playing a bunch of shows you can see for free!
We're honored to be named BEST STRINGBAND from the East Bay Express' 2008 "Best of the East Bay: Old School" Rock!
Evie is featured in the July issue of Banjo Newsletter, including tablature of tunes off the new CD. http://www.banjonews.com
New Live Tracks from our Freight & Salvage CD Release on Myspace
Airplay all over the nation and then some – thanks to the fabulous DJs for spreading the music!
Highlights of June include the Live Oak Festival down in SoCal – listening faves: Campbell Brothers Sacred Steel Band, Gibson Brothers, and this raunchy blues singer filling in for Nappy Brown. Never did catch her name but she was great! By far the largest square dance we've ever played/called. We're looking for some photos of our head rooster on the fiddle, or the 400 plus people (half-dressed, somewhat intoxicated, oddly dancing all together in time) we led through a dance that started late and went later – what a sight! Thanks to Bill Foss and Josefina Craven for sitting in on the raucous and trance madness. Amazing hospitality, including a mushroom grove and masseurs right outside our outrageously decorated dressing room…not to mention the several hundred folks we taught some hambone to – bada boop boop, pada poom!
And the lightest highlight of all was our Summer Solstice in Nome – check us out at midnight, coming out squinting from a wild bar show into the midnight sun – see also Marth & Evie fresh from the frigid Bering Sea!…we filled the town with music and dance and really enjoyed the lay of the land and all the fine people who treated us right. Where else could you play tunes on a flatbed followed by diabetic moose and pup seals throwing candy? See a shootout where nobody dies? Eat Musk Ox chili? A trip we will never forget. Thanks to Jim & Carol for hauling us around and Brian DeMarcus for Ray's amazing Vietnamese Halibut – delish!
OK, I'll resist the temptation to say that these gals are sittin' pretty, but they are. The gifted all-female string band known as the Stairwell Sisters … deliver a feisty set of hillbilly originals and traditional fiddle tunes from Appalachia, Mississippi and North Carolina's Piedmont region, all marked by virtuoso playing, sweet harmonies and a wry sense of humor. The group's engaging third album is produced by seasoned country producer Lloyd Maines, who also contributes pedal steel to one track. Essential download: "Who's to Blame."
There is a tendency for some bands who marry old time tunes to a modern political bent to be right on in a didactic sense. The Stairwell Sisters avoid this trap, providing a thrilling burst of joyful hallelujah.
While this third disc, Get Off Your Money, is good, to do the girls justice, you have to see them live. All girl string band, The Stairwell Sisters play old-time string style music with the energy and excitement of a great rock band. Their influences are varied, but guitarist Sue Sandlin says it was listening to Flatts and Scruggs that did it for her. "It was akin to the hair raising excitement I felt the first time I heard the Clash as a teenager." And that hair raising excitement shows on stage. Way cool.
From the first song until it ended this project just leaps out at you and won't let you go. This is old time music on steroids. The more you play it the more you find new and different things to like. I played the entire CD and my request line was ringing off the hook.
- KCBL/Backroads Bluegrass
The Stairwell Sisters have loads of fun and they care. Both show.

The clues keep coming in about the next-generation Chevrolet Malibu. Probably the most important concerns its debut. The new Malibu will pirouette at the upcoming New York Auto Show next month.
Until then, we've learned a little about where Chevrolet has taken the new design. Gathering from a teaser video, the automaker is focusing on the Malibu's durability. Sounds like they've taken design aspect to the extreme. Automotive News quotes the Chevy as saying that they've pooled data recording every "harshness and frequency of every jounce, bump and shudder inflicted on the car on roads in the U.S., Russia, Saudi Arabia and developing markets."
While they know that the average Malibu owner isn't going to come anywhere near the design limits of the Malibu, Chevy wants the interested buyer to know that the Malibu isn't the kind of ride to ever let them down. In fact, the Malibu's reliability and durability has always been strong. JD Power tapped the Malibu as being most reliable in its three-year reliability study. Some things never change and some things never should.

I've previously covered (don't forget Canada, Israel, Japan and China) how well Trump has been received by other world leaders and how it contrasts with what we have seen the last eight years.
I almost missed this example from June 26th in the White House Rose Garden:
Prime Minister Modi of India: Right from the opening tweet to the end of our talks, President Trump's welcome, which was filled with friendliness, his warm welcome to the White House by himself and the First Lady, I would like to thank both of you from the bottom of my heart for this warm welcome.The Prime Minister's effusive praise and warm affection shown for PRESIDENT TRUMP (don't you love saying that) was matched by warm coverage for Trump in the Indian press. Two of the major newspapers used these photos from the event at the White House:
I would also like to give a special thanks to you, President Trump, for having spent so much time with me, for having spoken such kind words about me and my country. And I would like to tell you that I'm eager to welcome your daughter to India for the Entrepreneurship Summit.
President Trump, I'd once again like to thank you for the time that you have spent with me. I'd like to give you special thanks for that.
My visit and our talks today will mark a very important page in the history of the collaboration and cooperation between our two nations.
Imagine how much more PRESIDENT TRUMP could succeed in international relations if he had an American press that was as fair, accurate and supporting as some in the press of the world's largest democracy!

Radius Music: Visuals in 3d [Tests]
A processing sketch draws a path describing the distance between a revolving ultrasonic distance sensor and another object in a room (ie a wall, a chair, or a person etc). One full scan of a room (one full revolution of the sensor) takes about 1 second. I took the processing drawings and imported them into maya in order to render them in 3d by extruding the path along the y axis. These test renderings are a document of the scanned room and its contents at a given time, as seen by the distance sensor.

We take the time to find out about you as a couple, what you like, what you definitely don't like and what you have in-store for the big day. From here we take all the magical stuff about you and your wedding and turn it into a beautifully designed collection, we'll work closely with you to ensure you come away with your stationery of dreams. One of the benefits of being both a design and print studio is we have complete control over the whole process from start to finish so you can be assured you are in safe hands with us.
The best part is that it doesn't have to stop with the invites, we can carry on the magic for all of your 'On the Day' stationery too, bespoke table plans, calligraphy place cards, hand-painted wedding signs...the possibilities are endless. Exciting times!
Please get in touch here if you would like to talk further about how we can make it happen for you.

McWayne talkes parent center with Rotary
Though Patti McWayne has worked with Trumann School District for 21 years, this is the first year she has filled the position of Parent Center Coordinator. McWayne told the Trumann Rotary Club recently that part of her job was to make parents feel more comfortable. "The more comfortable they are, the more active they become in their child's education," she said.
The Parent Center, located at 119 North Magnolia Drive, offers parents activities they can do with their children to help with problems they may be having in school. The Enrichment Prescription Program sends kids home with a card noting skills they need more practice in. Then, McWayne works with parents to suggest activities that can help their children improve.
The center also has three computers available to parents.
"Parents are always welcome to use the computers," McWayne said.
She told of one parent, just out of the military, who had no computer access and came to the Parent Center to set up an e-mail address and register for college.
In addition to offering activities for parents to do with their kids, the center has a lending library of parenting books, games and DVDs that can be checked out. The center also puts together activities throughout the year that encourage parents to get involved in the school such as the Boohoo Yahoo Breakfast, Grandparents Day, Eat with Someone Special Day, Family Book Fair Nights and the Wildcat Dad program where men sign up to volunteer to help out at the school for a day as well as to be an extra set of eyes to make it a safer place.
McWayne said that some future activities she has planned include Family Math and Literacy Nights and parenting classes in December.
"I have a lot of parents coming in to find out how to help their child," McWayne said. "I love my job. It's important to have your parents involved. If the parents are interested in education, then the students will be too. That's our future. We want them to be as smart as they can be."
The Parent Center is funded by Title 1 funds.

Welcome to the only fanlisting listed at TheFanlistings.Org for the gorgeous wind instrument, the harmonica! The harmonica comes in a huge range of shapes and forms, with a consequently huge range of uses in many music genres including the blues, American folk, classical, most world music, and even modern forms such as electronica. Being a "fanlisting", this particular website aims to create an online list of harmonica fans from all across the world:
A fanlisting is a site that aims to unite worldwide fans of a particular subject by creating an online "list" of "fans" for that subject, according to the idea found at the original online fanlisting headquarters, TheFanlistings.Org.
I built this fanlisting for harmonicas because for me, they have a unique power in expressing rhythm - be it dynamic and natural rhythm, when eloquently expressing the strains of the human soul and voice, or be it more synthetic rhythm, such as imitating a chugging steam train sailing in the moonlight. Harmonicas are also incredible at complementing melodies in music, particularly with the guitar and/or a solo vocal. I also feel that the harmonica has the ability to extract a pervasive human power in every performance: wrapped in a musician's rugged hands and blown with tired and worn lips, every rhythm and melody the harmonica conjoins with seems to be a product of human energy and exhaustive emotional expression - trains, tears, toils and troubles. For these reasons, the mood it produces is a unique, jumping balance between profoundly spiritual and provoking, and recklessly light-hearted.
So! If you are also a fan of harmonicas, then the "fanlisting" concept is that you can join the fanlisting for free (this website is a voluntary fan effort), and become part of a growing, worldwide list of harmonica fans! Website navigation can be found above, below the main header graphic. You can also refer to the site map if you're confused about how to navigate around this website. If you have any queries, do contact me!Site information and updates
This site and all rendered graphics have been created by me, Raine, and is hosted at my collective RevolutionBlues.Org. It is also listed at TheFanlistings.Org, the original base of fanlistings. This site makes no profit, nor is it a newsletter subscription or official service: it simply aims to list fans of harmonicas.
Opened: adopted on 3 September 2008
Last updated: 25th February 2019
Total listed fans: 42 from 21 countries (0 waiting to be added)
Latest fans added: Deborah
Many thanks go to the wonderful Deborah for handing this fanlisting over to me! :D I'm so happy to be able to share my love for harmonicas with other fans. Thank you, Deborah! *hug*

Beheer, Monitoring en Analyse softwareProductdemonstratie van 45 minuten aanvragen
We willen dat elke organisatie die gebruik maakt van BizTalk Server zich concentreert op haar core business en niet op het realiseren van tools voor het beheer, monitoren en de analyse van BizTalk. Die verantwoordelijkheid nemen wij.
Oprichter, Microsoft Azure MVP
Vertrouwd door 500+ organisaties in 26+ landen,
Beschermt 1500+ BizTalk-omgevingen
Our main goal was to reduce the time that BizTalk Administrators needed to solve minor issues such as stopped ports and suspended instances. BizTalk360's auto correct features really helps us with this.
From the Operations point of view, BizTalk360 clearly helps our non-BizTalk specialized staff to operate on the BizTalk environment. Features such as Knowledge Base helps our support engineers to document information that are useful for the team to quickly resolve issues. Using custom queries and data monitoring is already helping our business people in investigating their deliveries of large quantities of files in time.
Jordy Maes
Business Integration Engineer
BizTalk out-of-the box has no alerting capabilities. In case something fails during the processing of messages, also when a receive location goes down, we do not get alerted! BizTalk monitoring required us to use SCOM, as it was the only option Microsoft offered us.
Also configuring SCOM took a lot of effort to get it right. In the mean time BizTalk360 got my attention. Their solution was so much better than mine and the GUI looked dramatically better and it did what it was supposed to do; inform the administrators when an error occurred in BizTalk and allowing them to take action. Their solution also enabled us to organize the BizTalk administration without having to use the BizTalk Administration Console and giving users access to the BizTalk machines. It was even possible to determine on a per user basis who could do what. I have deployed BizTalk360 on most of my customer sites and never got a bad feedback.
Koen Van Oost
Business Integration Architect, Integr8 Consulting
We are really impressed with the monitoring, notification and alarm modules. Not having to do manual health checks on systems we expect just to be working has proven to be a great help.
Before using BizTalk360 all our monitoring was basic SQL Monitoring and an attempt to correctly monitor BizTalk applications via custom WMI queries. This product has significantly lowered our monitoring and development time. We had issues with guaranteeing the health of our environment without creating WMI queries, or logging into the servers to perform manual health checks. Now if something goes down, notifications are automatically sent to the correct people based on the alarms we set, without having to do anything.

Israel aims to demand military conscription from ultra-Orthodox Haredim; recall controversy over US draft deferments in 1960's?
In a measure that recalls the moral controversy over student deferments from the military draft in the U.S. during the Vietnam war, Israel's parliament seriously considers a plan, promised by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to require ultra-Orthodox Haredim (or "Haredi" Jews) to become subject to the country's military draft. The front page story in the Washington Post by William Booth and Ruth Eglash appeared Saturday, August 10, link here.
The Orthodox are dedicated scholars of the Talmud and Talmud (at a "yeshiva"), but are seen by regular Israeli citizens as "parasites" because their large about of subsidized unemployment as well as evasion of the risks of military service.
The proposal would take about four years to implement.
The Haredim have high birth rates, adding possibly to debates on population demographics, too.
The article mentions the idea of "social contract" as a moral imperative, in a context somewhat forgotten in the U.S.
There is a similar story in the Jerusalem Post by Jeremy Sharon here.
Some Haredi do enlist voluntarily now.

I took Kendra to the eye doctor last week because of those headaches she's been having. He said that everything I described sounded like a vision-based headache, but he couldn't find any clear cut problems. The only the he noticed was that the muscle in her left eye is just a teeny bit weaker than the one in her right eye. So, this was causing a little strain when she reads.
Because we have nothing else to try, we decided to go with reading glasses just to see if it helps get rid of the headaches. Kendra could not be happier! She picked out the cute little purple frames herself (they are not the ones I would've chosen), and she wants to wear them all the time (though we explained that she should only wear them for reading or writing).
Isn't she precious? I can hardly wait to scrap this picture this weekend!
And speaking of the weekend, I'd like to point out that in just 24 hrs, I will be leaving work and celebrating a nice LONG 4 day weekend. I love holidays. :)

FOTD #11 Neutral Eye w/ experiment at the end!
2 comments:
I've been so lazy lately that I haven't even been wearing make up to work besides lip balm. Looking dead certainly isn't helping me feel better so I better start stepping it up! lol I really like these neutral colors for the eyes and they really pop against your skintone. That mascara looks pretty great. I've only been using Benefit They're Real when I do wear mascara which isn't often because I have watery allergy eyes and you must know how long make up lasts in those situations. :(ReplyDeleteReplies
I've been pretty lazy too, which is why I decided to do the 100 FOTD challenge. I normally would just throw on lip balm also and call it a day! :P Thank you! I love my neutrals, but have been trying to throw some more color in lately. I mixed the Revlon and the L'Oreal ones together because I know with my allergies I need a waterproof to make sure I don't end up with raccoon eyes! Have you tried a waterproof mascara? It might help, it does for me at least! I can't even step outside without insane watery eyes from my allergies! Yeah, by the time I washed this makeup off today, it looked kind of bad because my eyes watered from allergies. It looks pretty horrid D:Delete
I've not tried Benefit They're Real! I've been curious but just haven't tried it.
