Every school day my son requests his doodle...the one I draw on his snack bag. At times elaborate, whimsical, topical, but mostly just whatever he is into at the moment. I am NOT an artist, but indulge this request each day for fun. This is a daily musing about his requests.
Wednesday, February 29, 2012
Leap of Faith
So February...it's a wrap. This month has been pretty dope - no complaints for sure. Super cool that we're ending it with the 2-9. Oscar has lots of questions about the meaning of this - I tried to simplify the math & earth's rotation around the sun...blah blah blah. Can't wait to hear how it comes back to me tonight after many classroom, lunchroom and after school convos. Happy Wednesday! xoxo
Tuesday, February 28, 2012
Mermaid Parade
Oscar, still hooked on the gun idea, tried to convince me it would be okay to draw one. "No" I say. He responds "Draw something from Pirates of the Caribbean...one of the mermaids, but not scary & Lego." Ok! Maybe tomorrow he'll want the horror version? Happy Tuesday! xoxo
Monday, February 27, 2012
Cannonball Run
Well, it's been a solid week of hi-jinx...understandably no one wanted to do the standard Monday this morning. And Oscar asked for (wait for it) a gun as his doodle. Um, this ranks with the bomb thing - cool stuff for 7 year old boys, not cool stuff for a school-time snack bag. "How about a cannon? Pirates, revolutionaries, you know, legit weaponry." He's not 100% but on the first day back from a sweet winter break, guess I'll settle for 79. Happy Monday! xoxo
Monday, February 20, 2012
The Walking Dead
Our winter break has officially begun. We will be drawing, painting, all around fun stuff for sure, but blogging on hold till next week. Until then, I will leave you with this...Oscar's goodie bags from his 7th bday zombie party yesterday. His request - make every bag different. Ok! That's 13 zombies yo. We collaborated - he colored them all in. His bag had to be even more customized...zombie swallowed by man-eating plant. Enjoy! Happy Monday + rest of the week homies. xoxo
Thursday, February 16, 2012
Who doesn't love a Jimmy Walker reference in the morning? Yeah, Oscar asked for dynamite. And yeah, I said that Good Times catch phrase...he didn't get it of course. Well, we're in explosives & ammunition phase - I'll just make the best of it with quirky cartoon doodles. Happy Thursday! xoxo
Wednesday, February 15, 2012
Squawk Box
We are all about pirates. I mean, it's serious. Oscar wakes up every morning & goes directly to his POTC game. The good news? Lots of imagery yo...this could go on for a grip. Happy Wednesday! xoxo
Tuesday, February 14, 2012
Heart Shaped Box
Love is in the air. It's Valentine's Day...I really dig the kid version of this holiday. Oscar is giving out 3D dinosaur cards to his class. They'll have a party & get a super sugar high. Fun day -mine will not come close to this. Happy Tuesday! xoxo
Monday, February 13, 2012
Message in a Bottle
Or a ship...whatever! The second part of our Sunday was spent playing PS3, advancing levels in Pirates of the Caribbean - inspiration. Oscar naturally followed up the request to draw a ship in bottle with a request to build a ship in a bottle. Um, ok? I'll get right on it. Happy Monday! xoxo
Wednesday, February 8, 2012
Johnny Depp is Hot...Period
Legos dominate kid world – fact. I am totally in favor of this, even if it does mean I have to get my Johnny Depp fix in blocky form. Oscar loves Pirates of the Caribbean (winning) & asked that I draw Jack Sparrow this morning, but Lego Jack Sparrow. Whatevs. I tell Oscar as I doodle that I also enjoy watching these films with him – happy he chose to watch this morning, to which he replies "Because you think Jack Sparrow is hot." Uh…yeah. It is both hilarious & disturbing that my young son uses this new adjective to describe people. In this case he is spot on of course. Happy Wednesday! xoxo
Tuesday, February 7, 2012
More than Meets the Eye
Today we continued our path of destruction (in thought anyway) with a simple request. "Draw a robot with weapons for arms." Pretty specific. Word. As I doodled Oscar gently reminded me that boys like things that blow up and create chaos. Uh-huh – got it. Check & check. This dude shoots missiles with one arm & the other is a mutated revolver. Oscar likes it – he says it's BumbleBee's evil twin brother. Alright! Happy Tuesday! xoxo
Monday, February 6, 2012
King Kong Ding Dong
Why so late this morning? No idea – there is a serious time suck present in my weekday am program. Well, there was a giant gorilla in Oscar's show this morning…that's it. I feel I have to give this one another go though. 2 minutes did not allow me to really do what I wanted. On the flip, Oscar was NOT late for school – boom. Happy Monday! xoxo
Thursday, February 2, 2012
Da Bomb
I have been resisting this request for a couple of weeks because, well, explosives + school seems like a pretty bad idea. Oscar is fascinated with bombs. As he tells it, boys like things that "blow up.". Oh, I'm aware, I tell him. Still, I say, this is not the kind of thing we should really be researching. I cave with a quick & hokey cartoon-y version just to get her done. Happy Thursday! xoxo
Wednesday, February 1, 2012
Eye of the Tiger
Oscar enjoys affecting a variety of whiskered creatures when we floss at night. His favorite is the Japanese Fighting Fish (pictured here). Last night this imitation went on hella long, complete with simulated swimming & a jillion questions about how & why they fight. They're beautiful - may have something do with ego I tell him. Happy Wednesday! xoxo

At the moment I spend a lot more time sending emails about museums than I do getting out to visit them. But I was determined to get to the Emma Hamilton exhibition at the National Maritime Museum.
It sounded so promising: a major exhibition about an individual woman! At a prestigious institution! And, as a bonus, in a field in which women generally appear bare-breasted on the prow of a ship.
I braced myself for disappointment, but this time it never came. In fact I'd like to applaud the team behind the exhibition - especially curators Quintin Colville and Sarah Wood - for delivering a sumptuous, sensitive, intelligent exhibition which aims itself squarely at balancing the history books while still telling an enthralling story.
Emma Hamilton as survivor
It's an enthralling but painful story. Emma's early treatment at the hands of Harry Fetherstonhaugh and Charles Frances Greville is particularly unpleasant. The former took her as a mistress aged just 15 and abandoned her within a year when she fell pregnant.
The latter agreed to take her under his protection as his mistress but only if she agreed to give up the baby, change her name, cut ties with all her former friends, and live according to rules which he issued to her.
After a couple of years Greville also abandoned her, sending her to his uncle Sir William Hamilton in Naples to be his mistress, although she was half his age.
However he didn't let Emma in on the plan, and instead pretended he would soon be joining her. When Emma discovered the truth she was heartbroken and furious at the idea she should simply transfer her affections from nephew to uncle.
Often cast as a gentle rescuer who generously 'educated' Emma, in this exhibition we see another side of Greville: a cowardly, controlling hypocrite. And although her relationship with Hamilton - a famed connoisseur of art and antiquities - eventually developed into a genuine affection, it's clear he initially viewed her as another object in his collection.
One of the great strengths of the exhibition is that it even-handedly shows both Emma's vulnerability and her agency. She is passed from man to man, and each seems to have a different idea of what kind of woman he wants her to be. But rather than presenting her simply as a victim of sexual exploitation locked in a ruthless double standard, the exhibition shows Emma as a survivor.
Emma Hamilton as artist
She seized every opportunity to educate and express herself. We see how she used her intelligence, experience, and talent as well as her beauty to live her life as fully as possible, and to expand the edges of her freedom.
For example the exhibition talks about her early experience working behind the scenes in the theatre, and connects it to her remarkable ability to adapt to and embody different roles.
This is apparent in her work with George Romney - more than a model, she was a collaborator in the creative process which resulted in the extraordinary portraits at the heart of the exhibition* - but also in her famous Attitudes.
In her Attitudes Emma Hamilton effectively invented a new form of performance art combining theatre, dance, and tableaux which is brought to life in the exhibition through video. She sparked a new craze, and her performance became a key ingredient of the Grand Tour (a kind of aristocratic gap year). On display is a tea set decorated with Emma in her Attitudes: a sure sign that you've made it.
Emma Hamilton as political agent
A section of the exhibition is devoted to the critical diplomatic role she played in the wake of the French Revolution. After developing a close friendship with Queen Maria Carolina of Naples (the sister of Marie Antoinette) Emma effectively became the chief liaison between the Neapolitan royal family and the British government.
As well as securing vital assistance for the British navy in the region, Emma personally managed the evacuation of Queen Maria and her family, and arranged for food to be delivered to Malta when its people were being starved by French blockades. For this she became the first woman to be awarded the Maltese Cross.
But sure, let's keep describing her as Nelson's mistress.
Out of the shadows
The exhibition has some flaws, of course. For instance 'Seductress' is an awkward choice of title for the section about the time a 14 year old Emma probably spent working in a Covent Garden brothel.
And the last object in the exhibition is Nelson's famous bullet-torn jacket, which is so detached from the narrative it seems to have been included just to keep the naval history fans happy.
But overall I found it a fascinating, moving, feminist representation of Emma Hamilton's incredible story, a story which has been overshadowed for so long by the men in her life. This is the big, rich, beautiful exhibition that she deserves, and I hope it places her firmly back in the spotlight.
* The exhibition also includes a striking portrait of Emma by Élisabeth Louise Vigée Le Brun among many other representations.

My life has been slowly falling a part for a while now. I wish I had one single answer of how to counter act this horrible-ness. But I don't know what to do or think anymore. It's like why is life worth it. For me that is Neil. Despite what my parents think of him he has made me more happy in this last year than I've been in 10 without.

Kelsey Grammer's representative has denied claims that the star is planning a Frasier reunion.
The speculation began when Grammer posted messages on Twitter suggesting that he was thinking about a spinoff of the sitcom.
However, his spokesperson Stan Rosenfield told TV Guide that Grammer has a team to update his Twitter page for him and clarified that no Frasier project is in the works.
"That's not true at all," he said. "Nothing's happening. Frasier's done... That's what happens when you don't do your own tweets and things get misinterpreted and people who do your tweeting misinterpret something."
One message suggested that Grammer was "thinking" about working on a new Frasier project but Rosenfield said: "Let's call it the very liberal use of the word 'thinking'.
"I'm also 'thinking' of inheriting a billion dollars tomorrow at noon. Neither is going to happen."

When most operators put a new turbine-powered Robinson R66 into service they spend some time flying it around the local area just to check things out. But when Moscow-based Aviamarket got its first pair of turbine-powered R66s, the company went a bit further. A six-week around-the-world-type further, to be exact.
As the Robinson dealer in Moscow and operator of a growing helicopter flying club, Avamarket's team was eager to show off the capabilities of their first pair of R66s, which had received Russian certification in March.
Flying serial number 0323, a blue R66, expedition leader Michael Farikh and Alexander Kurylev were accompanied by Aviamarket's chief pilot Dmitry Rakitsky and co-pilot Vadim Melnikov in serial number 0164, a maroon R66.
The four pilots and two R66s along with documentary filmmaker Dmitry Kubasov took off from Moscow's Bunkovo Heliport on August 2. Heading west, the two crews cut a zigzag pattern across Europe from Norway to the tip of Africa then back through Scotland. The next legs took them across the North Atlantic via the Faroe Islands, Iceland and Greenland.
After departing Greenland, the pair of R66s flew 12.5 hours over water to Newfoundland. That was their longest single-day total of the adventure. After traveling along southern Canada, the group crossed through Alaska and finally across the far northern Pacific to Siberia. They arrived back home in Moscow on September 15.
The two R66s were equipped with auxiliary long-range fuel tanks, which allowed them to cover an average of 820 miles (1,000 kilometers) per day, weather permitting. In total, the teams crossed four continents and two oceans while covering 24,512 miles (39,448 kilometers). They logged 220 flight hours.
According to chief pilot Rakitsky, the Robinson R66s performed exceptionally well from start to finish and required only routine maintenance.
The globe-hopping journey was not the first time Farikh and Rakitsky had relied on serial number 0323's reliability to complete a record-setting trip. This past April, the intrepid pair few the same R66 to the North Pole. During the 12-day journey, they logged 75 hours, flying in arctic conditions.
Robinson Helicopter is displaying its products here at the NBAA show indoor static area.


text: Brand MarketingHow Michel Gondry and BBDO Made Muscle Music for GilletteAn experiment in sound at a famed studioBy Tim Nudd|October 8, 2013 ShareBy Tim Nudd|October 8, 2013 Share IDEA: Listening to music is crucial to most people's workouts. But what if you could make music through exercise itself? Gillette tries just that in an experimental two-minute video (which doubles as a deodorant ad) from BBDO, New York, and director Michel Gondry. They recruited NFL players and other high-caliber athletes, closely recorded their movements in a gym—actually, a recording studio outfitted like a gym—and built a musical track, beat by beat, layer upon layer, muscle upon muscle. "Every guy listens to music to pump themselves up and make them train harder and better. That's where the idea was born," said BBDO creative director Brian Wiesenthal. From there, it was mostly a matter of infinitely challenging sound design—a task made easier in the end by the inspiring setting, which held the echoes of countless legendary recordings. COPYWRITING/SOUND: The video begins with the athletes filing in, starting up their exercise equipment and getting down to business. There is no dialogue. The sound starts off spare—e.g., the footsteps on a treadmill. Slowly, other athletes join in, and the sound grows— rowing machine, punching bag, speed bag, bench press, even a guy pounding a sledgehammer on a tire. Sound engineers chose the "instruments" like they were scouting locations—testing different ones and sending sound bites to the creatives before the shoot. "It was a dream team of instruments," said BBDO creative director Jake Shaw. On set, the athletes listened to the others' rhythms through headphones and timed their own movements accordingly. The music reaches a crescendo before going silent. Two lines appear on screen at the end—"Built to perform" and "Built for training"—along with a product shot of Gillette's Clear Gel deodorant. FILMING/ART DIRECTION: Gondry, who rarely shoots ads, was drawn to the experimental nature of the project. He wanted to shoot in a recording studio, not a gym or a warehouse, and ended up filming for three days at Ocean Way Recording in Hollywood, where everyone from Frank Sinatra to the Beach Boys made records. "It's just such an amazing, magical place. You feel it when you walk in," said Wiesenthal. "There were all these geeky things we discovered. If you look at where our sledgehammer guy is, literally Lionel Richie and Michael Jackson were standing there once upon a time singing 'We Are the World.'" The wooden floors and vintage equipment set the tone for the video's visual aesthetic, too, which is much more muted, shadowy and refined than your typical sports ad. At the same time, Gondry wanted the guts of the recording process on display—that's why in the video, amplifiers, wires and microphones can be seen everywhere, and the recording engineers are seen adjusting them throughout. "On one of the punching bags, we actually used Frank Sinatra's original microphone," said Shaw. "They kept calling it the priceless microphone." TALENT: The NFL players featured in the ad are Champ Bailey and Kayvon Webster of the Denver Broncos, BenJarvus Green-Ellis and Giovani Bernard of the Cincinnati Bengals, and Mike Golic Jr. of the Pittsburgh Steelers. There were 16 athletes in all. "Finding 16 guys who can keep time and work together as a team, that's a really big ask. A lot of the time was spent experimenting and training and practicing to get the perfect end result," said Shaw. YouTube viewers have been raving about the speedbagger in the spot. "We were searching on YouTube and discovered a thing called punch drumming. And one of the best punch drummers in the world is this guy Matthew Santiago," said Wiesenthal. Added Shaw: "He had such a unique skill set that he became a big part of the team." MEDIA: YouTube and Gillette's website. It is BBDO's last Gillette work currently running, as the account recently shifted to Grey. CREDITSContinue ReadingPages: 1 2 Sharehttp://adweek.it/15XT8Uz copy Adweek Adweek

Obama's oval effort: Why the pundits dismissed the terror speech
The pundits almost universally panned President Obama's Oval Office address on terrorism.
Nothing new, heard it all before, not much passion: that was the media consensus. And at 13 minutes, it was strikingly short for an Obama prime-time speech, or any Obama speech.
To be sure, journalists weren't the target group. Sometimes presidential speeches connect with the public, even after negative media reviews.
And Sunday night's address was clearly a do-over for the president, who sounded defensive and dismissive when he first took questions on the Paris attacks, and didn't quite strike the right tone on the San Bernardino massacre.
When a politician gives a major speech, I always ask: What headline did he want it to produce? Obama didn't really offer anything new. He set out to reassure the country that his strategy against ISIS is working and we must not give in to fear. But given the lack of a new proposal, or even a stirring new phrase, meant there really was no headline—and more important, no change in the terror debate.
Obama did call the California shootings terrorism, and that's a start, but not Islamic terrorism, despite mounting evidence of the couple's belief in ISIS.
Here's how the press played it:
Washington Post: "President Obama turned to a venue he doesn't like to discuss a subject he would rather avoid."
Politico: "From the spot where George W. Bush spoke the night of Sept. 11, Richard Nixon resigned and John F. Kennedy talked civil rights and the Cuban Missile Crisis (all seated, behind where he stood), Obama looked firmly into the camera and gave America a not-so-peppy pep talk."
The New York Times said he was trying "to make the case that his administration was ahead of the problem, not playing catch-up — contrary to the critiques presented by many of his former counterterrorism advisers."
National Review's Jim Geraghty: "Obama speaks with only one tone, the slightly exasperated and sometimes not-merely-slightly exasperated 'adult in the room' who constantly has to correct his fellow Americans, who are always flying off the handle,
And MSNBC's Joe Scarborough tweeted: "God. Is this guy really going to be responsible for our fight against ISIS for the next year? Political platitudes replace military strategy."
About the only semi-positive assessment I saw was from Slate's Fred Kaplan. His headline:
"Obama's Honesty on ISIS is Better Than Conservatives' Reckless Delusions."
His point was that Obama "doesn't have dramatic answers," but none of the Republican candidates do either. Pretty faint praise.
Obama's message amounted to stay the course, but that's less than calming after the last two attacks. He reiterated that he doesn't want to see America at war with Islam. And he again called for gun control measures, including the denial of purchases to those on the no-fly list.
Which leads me to this thought-provoking post by Josh Marshall, editor of the liberal Talking Points Memo:
"The president now comes out after every mass shooting and, with (understandably) building frustration, says the country will eventually have to get serious and tackle this problem, knowing full well that it doesn't seem likely that's going to happen any time in the remotely near future - certainly not during his presidency. A big part of the outrage to this constant string of mass shootings is not just the carnage itself but the near certainty that no matter how frequent these massacres become, no matter how young the victims, no matter how high the body count, absolutely nothing is going to happen to make it harder to get a gun to go kill people. That means that when we talk about 'gun control' the first thing almost everybody thinks is about something that is never going to happen, because our polarized politics won't letter it happen.
"So coming into the debate about terrorism, a topic which grips the national psyche like almost no other issue, talking about gun control is not only iffy on the policy merits but sends a very bad signal that what you're proposing to get a handle on the problem is something we all know to a damn certainty isn't even going to happen."
An interesting argument from the left. Obama wants gun control. Many Democrats want gun control. But gun control is going nowhere; the president has never even gotten any bill to a committee vote.
The pundits, in their unanimity, could be wrong. Sometimes presidential speeches connect with the public despite being panned by the press. But at the moment, there's no sign that Obama has changed the tenor of the terror debate.

I have known Trisha Munro for more years than she will care to remember, and I can truly say that few people have similar experience, knowledge or understanding of the dental industry in Scotland.
She is totally trustworthy, honest and reliable, traits sadly lacking in a modern world which seems to accept 'spin' as the norm. You will not be anything else but happy with the service she and Confi-dental supplies.Hector C Brodie BDS MFGDP
When considering selling my Practice prior to retirement I approached Trisha for advice. She was more than supportive and acted in a truly professional manner. Mostly business was conducted away from the surgery premises and in complete confidence. The transition to the new owner was extremely smooth. Trisha knows the system and at all times made me feel relaxed about the sale. I would have no hesitation in recommending her to other colleaguesPenelope Davies BDS MGDP (Dental Practitioner Retired),

I would recommend Confi-dental when purchasing a Dental Practice. Trisha helps in every stage of the purchase and ensures the whole transaction runs as smoothly as possible. I have worked with Trisha for over 5 years and she has guided me any time of the day from my earlier days.
Trisha is very approachable and I can contact her regarding any matter, both during and after the purchase. Trisha is also happy to be called at any time of the day with is extremely convenient. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Confi-dental to all my professional colleaguesSheraz Shafiq BDS, MFDS RCPSG

Greygables Dental Surgery, East Kilbride
Buying a dental practice for the first time is a daunting step. However, Trisha has seen it all and done it all and is very experienced in the whole process. The experience was priceless. Trisha put me in contact with lawyers, architects, builders and everything and anone that was needed in the run up to buying the practice. I was able to phone her at any time and she really does work exceptionally hard to get the deal done. I would recommend her most highly if you are looking to buy a dental practice. I will always be grateful to her for finding me my practice. When you consider what an estate agent charges and the work that Trisha put then I found her fee to be very reasonable.Paul Barrett
Clarkston Toll
Never having sold a practice before and with retirement approaching, the thorny problem of what to do, and how to go about it raised it's head. Having known Trisha for over 30 odd years, I had no hesitation in contacting Confidental to handle the sale. Trisha's local knowledge of the dental market in Scotland is unrivalled and she always seems to have her finger on the pulse. Her list of contacts, both dental and the other professions necessary to buy or sell a practice proved essential, necessary and helpful. I found her advice and service to be prompt, highly professional, totally trustworthy and entirely confidential. Would I recommend Trisha and Confidental to other dentists? Most definitely!Rodney W Bidwell

Sausage, Lentil and Kale Stew
Tuscan Kale is one of our favorites; we keep it growing in a half wine barrel outside of our kitchen. Sausage, lentil and kale stew is a quick favorite and is especially comforting on a cold, rainy winter evening.
Category : Casual Entertaining
2 links smoked kielbasa or andouille sliced thin
1 teaspoon olive oil if necessary
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 small onions, chopped
1/2 bunch of celery chopped
3 carrots diced
1 cup lentils, picked over
4 cups chicken broth
1 bunch kale, stems and center ribs discarded and leaves sliced thin (about 3 cups)
1 1/2 tablespoon balsamic or red-wine vinegar
In a 3-quart heavy saucepan brown sausage over moderate heat and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. If there is more than 1 teaspoon fat in pan pour off excess; if there is less, add enough oil to measure 1 teaspoon fat. Cook garlic, stirring, until golden. Add onion and cook, stirring, until softened.
Add lentils, water, broth, and sausage and simmer, covered, 30 minutes. Add kale and simmer, uncovered, until tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir in vinegar and salt and pepper to taste.
Serves 4

If the rain stays away and doesn't repeat last year's washout, then fans are in for an exciting prelude to tomorrow's Premios Texas 2010 in Austin. The sixth annual show has attracted international artists and awards top artists in the Latino musical genres of Pop/Rock, Tropical, Regional Mexican, Hip Hop/Urban (reggaeton), alternative, and Tejano. (Keep up with live Twitter updates on the Premios Texas site.)
Tonight, A.J. Castillo, (pictured at right) who won Best New Male Artist at last month's 30th Annual Tejano Music Awards and whose new smooth style accordion sound has created a nice buzz for his name, will help close out the end of tonight's "Concierto Bajo Las Estrellas." Also performing are Cristina and Los Cadetes de Linares, among others.
The concert is free and open to the public but since it takes place outdoors in the beautiful terrace of the Joe and Teresa Long Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Austin, the weather must cooperate.
Signing autographs at tonight's event are reggaeton duo Angel y Khriz ("Ven Bailalo) and Pee Wee, formerly lead vocalist of Kumbia All Starz, but now an international solo artist and novela star.
Visit TejanoBeat.com for details, including tomorrow's red carpet arrival schedule. Tejano artists representing include Castillo, Ruben Ramos, Michael Salgado (pictured at left at July's TMAs), Sunny Sauceda and Los Texmaniacs. Salgado, Sauceda, Los Texmaniacs and Margarita Canela are vying for "Best Tejano Artist.

Mastering The Terminal Five "3×5" on Feel It Records
"Three fresh cuts of loud punk rock from Richmond's best new export, THE TERMINAL FIVE. Four SLUGZ members kept together after the group disbanded, resulting in a new rock'n'roll unit designed to flat out destroy. On 3×5, THE TERMINAL FIVE zero in on a sound that draws from the best 70's punk, applying a solid appreciation for the powerful songwriting and playing present on degenerate rock records like Killer and Raw Power. With the recent addition of Jarrett from SATAN'S SATYRS on guitar, THE TERMINAL FIVE are already hard at work on a proper album."

Motor vehicle traffic in England, Scotland and Wales increased for the tenth quarter in succession in the three months to September 2015, according to new UK government data – contributing to the highest rolling annual total on record.
The statistics, which were published by the Department for Transport (DfT) on November 12th and will remain provisional until final annual estimates are delivered in summer 2016, show that traffic on Britain's roads is up 2.2 per cent year on year, with a collective 316.1 billion miles clocked between October 2014 and September 2015.
This beats September 2007's pre-recessional peak by 0.6 per cent and appears to mirror growth in the UK economy over the same timeframe, which saw the country's GDP increase 2.6 per cent.
It also may have been influenced by lower fuel prices, according to DfT, with the cost of premium unleaded down 14.8 pence year on year, and diesel 17.1 pence cheaper.
When the statistics are broken down by vehicle and road class, they yield similarly fascinating insights. Car traffic was up by just 1.7 per cent, for example, while van traffic increased six per cent to account for 46.9 billion miles of travel. Rural minor roads saw the fastest growth in volume, with traffic on this road class rising 5.8 per cent over the 12-month period.
Despite these increases, the UK saw a statistically significant decrease in road casualties over a roughly equivalent timeframe, according to another recent data release from DfT.
The department said on November 5th that 22,830 people were killed or seriously injured on Britain's roads between July 2014 and June 2015 – down seven per cent year on year. Casualties of all severities totalled 180,500 – also a seven per cent decrease.
This indicates that "a number of factors … have combined together to improve some aspects of safety", even if it falls some way short of definitive evidence of "a continued improvement in road safety", the data release read.

This is my implementation of the messager pattern used by Panda3D for event handling. It's a really nice idea but I think Panda's version is implemented weirdly, it uses the subscribe objects as keys in the dictionary. That means that if you want more than one object to subscribe to the same message you have to subclass DirectObject and use self.accept(...), can't just call the messager directly or you'll get a different behaviour, it means that a single object instance can't subscribe two different functions to the same message, and it means that your objects have to be hashable (!) because the messager uses them as keys in a dictionary. It seems to me that it would be much simpler if the messager's dictionary just mapped message names to function objects, so that's what I did.
Use this pattern when you have a lot of objects spread throughout the class hierarchy that need to communicate with each other. It's a way of implementing one-to-many or many-to-many communication, in which an object can send a message to many receivers without needing to know who those receivers are, or how many receivers there are, or even if there are any receivers (although an object can potentially check all these things if it wants to). The singleton messager object receives messages from broadcaster objects and forwards them to receiver objects. Setup a single, simple, generic, system- wide messaging system, instead of creating different systems for each different type of message or messaging relation.
The disadvantage of just implementing this pattern once and using it everywhere is that with lots of senders and receivers it might become difficult to understand and debug message-based behaviour. Particularly if the order in which messages are sent and received becomes important, when you send a message with this pattern there's no way of knowing in what order the receiver objects will receive the message, and therefore know way of knowing in what order their responses will be executed, and those responses may include sending more messages. You can implement some ordering relations by having an object receive a message, deal with it, then send a different message to other recievers, but I wouldn't want to overuse that.
Also you have to be careful to avoid clashes in message names.
The GoF Mediator and Observer patterns are similar in that they enable a mode of communication between objects in which the sender object broadcasts a message without needing to know all of the receiver objects, and the receiver objects can receive messages without being tightly coupled to the sender object(s).
In the GoF Mediator pattern, the Mediator object is more than just a messager that passes messages between other objects and leaves the behaviour up to the others. The mediator actually encapsulates the interaction behaviour between objects, deciding which methods to call on which objects each time it receives a notification from an object. Mediator centralises control of how objects cooperate in the mediator class, whereas the Messager pattern leaves this control distributed throughout the objects themselves.
In the GoF observer pattern a one-to-many dependency is setup, there is no separate Messager object but rather the sender object itself maintains the list of reciever object and notifies them of new messages. With its separate messager object the Messager pattern enables many-to-many dependencies as well as one-to-many.
- """
- messager.py -- a simple message-passing pattern for one-many or many-many
- dependencies. Useful for event notifications, for example.
- To send a message use the singleton messager instance:
- from messager import messager
- messager.send('message name',argument)
- You can pass a single argument with a message, and this argument can be anything
- you like. For example, event objects that simply hold a number of attributes can
- be constrcuted and passed as arguments with messages.
- Messager maintains a mapping of message names to lists of functions (and their
- arguments). When a message is sent, all of the functions subscribed to that
- message are called and passed the argument given when the function was
- subscribed followed by argument given when the message was sent. To subscribe a
- function you must subclass Receiver and call the accept(...) or acceptOnce(...)
- methods:
- self.accept('message name',function,argument)
- self.acceptOnce('message name',function,argument)
- You don't need to call Receiver.__init__() when you subclass Receiver, it has no
- __init__. Receiver works by maintaining a list of the message subscriptions you
- have made.
- It is up to you to make sure that functions that accept messages take the right
- number of arguments, 0, 1 or 2 depending on whether the accept(...) and
- send(...) methods were called with an argument or not.
- To unsubscribe a function from a message name use ignore:
- # Unsubscribe a particular function from a particular message name.
- self.ignore('message name',function)
- # Unsubscribe all functions that this object has subscribed to a particular
- # message name.
- self.ignore('message name')
- # Unsubscribe all functions that this object has subscribed to any message
- # name.
- self.ignoreAll()
- You can unsubscribe all functions from all Receiver objects with:
- messager.clear()
- If you do `messager.verbose = True` the messager will print whenever it
- receives a message or subscription, and if you do `print messager` the messager
- will print out a list of all the registered message names and their subscribers.
- One last thing to be aware of is that messager keeps references to (functions
- of) all objects that subscribe to accept messages. For an object to be deleted
- it must unsubscribe all of its functions from all messages (the ignoreAll()
- method will do this).

Zero|Byte showed me an alternative version of this that. Instead of mapping strings to (function, accepterargument, senderargument) tuples his maps class names to to functions: http://dpaste.com/56722/
When you call messager.send(...) you pass either an event class (and messager will create a new instance for you_ or an instance of an event class, message finds all functions subscribed to that class name and calls them, passing the event class as the single argument. The idea is that you create different event classes and the receiver functions use their attributes as arguments. Nice. His version doesn't allow you to give an argument when you call accept(...), but I've never found much use for that anyway. I like it.

We have sightings of the Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Autumn/Winter shows held earlier this week. What an eyeful! Scrolls of fur in unusual places; patches of print peeking out of one-color tops or even leggings. There is no limit to chic fashion innovation from Milan.
Francesca Liberatore showed an ensemble that confirms the importance of accessories. The belt is getting all kinds of ornamental attention with wonderful results. Vera Wang Lavender is ready to luxuriate outfits like this with the Vera Wang Lavender Lillian Ballet Flat Black Patent.
Just when you thought the new-season grey and beige combo was getting boring, along comes Mauro Gaspani to put a new perspective on how to wear the two in the front row of style. Amalfi by Rangoni of course is the shoe that completes this sensational look. Here's landing at the top with Amalfi by Rangoni Esse Pewter Nappa.
Sergei Krinko was a standout designer at this week's medley of wonderful new looks. No matter how you slice and dice the details of the dress, the sum total is Gorgeous, worthy of a Stuart Weitzman shoe. Here is the Stuart Weitzman Poco Pump Adobe Patent Leather.

Magician Bristol
Bristol magician Noel Qualter is an expert close up magician who covers Bristol, Bath and the surrounding areas. If you are organising an event and you are considering adding some entertainment then a close up magician can bring an extra dynamic to your event.
Noel has been a professional magician for a decade and in that time he has racked up performances all over the South West so you can rely on Noel to bring a touch of magic to the party.
Close up Magician Bristol
A close up magician performs tricks based on sleight of hand skill and carries small objects in his pockets such as cards, coins and rope etc. This style of magic is particularly visual so you can get up close and really stare at the magician and you still won't see how it's done!
It takes years to perfect sleight of hand but that's just half the job. You also need to have excellent people skills so you can make the guests laugh and direct their attention so they won't be able to see how the close up magic is done. Noel is a member of famous Magic Circle so you can be assured of his skill and you can also see reviews on the Kudos page.

Up close there is some figure in them that look almost like streaks of jaguar fur. Jump in and take a look soon if you want one….. they won't last long!!

Years ago you couldn't pay me to eat a bowl of soup. I despised it, <insert repulsive sound here> - especially the creamed variety. Why? Because as a prep cook - that was my job! I had to make soup for three outlets, often 8-10 buckets of soup all simmered in one of those huge industrial kettles. I always felt like a little witch stirring away at her caldron. It didn't help I had to stand on a milk crate to do it too. It was not a glamorous job - a bunch of scraps, a lot of water and a few litres of cream... maybe a dash of lemon juice and bam - that was the soup of the day.
I hated the stuff.
Of course now I'm more mature and my pallet has grown to appreciate a nice warm bowl of liquid gold ...WAIT - that didn't come out right. I like soup now, that's what I'm trying to say - unless it's a cream based soup - F%$# that Shit! Anyways - this is going somewhere I swear - it's segueing into The Burnt Tongue, Hamilton's newest soup emporium. Its created a bit of a buzz on twitter so I was eagered to check it out.
It's a tiny little place with an open concept kitchen and you order at the counter. There are a few tables but don't expect to come with your entire entourage and get a seat. Sorry Kanye. The soup changes daily and they come in three sizes. They also have belgian fries and burgers. I'm not too sure if the fries and burgers are staples on the menu though.
I ordered the small Sausage, Bean and Cabbage soup and a Burger with Cheese. Joanna and Joe ordered a burger and fries as well as the Roasted Cauliflower and Red Pepper soup. The soups come with either celery & carrots, a fresh crisp apple or a crusty mini roll. I opted for the veggies but Joe squared both had the roll. I also ordered an Orange Crush - in a glass bottle! So old school and so nostalgic. I loved it. They have a pretty good collection of soft drinks - if you're into that.
I really enjoyed my soup. The sausage was flavourful, it was the perfect temperature and the portion was great - considering I ordered the burger and mooched some fries off my eating companions. I would definitely consider upsizing if the soup is all you're going to have though. I did have a few spoonfuls of Joanna's cauliflower soup but it wasn't memorable. Not that it wasn't enjoyable - she didn't have any complaints but I was pretty focused on my meal to remember anything about hers!
The burger at first looked a little dinky and not too impressive - but once I took a few bites, I really enjoyed it. They're pretty basic, old school, no fuss kinda burgers. Sometimes it doesn't have to be fancy shmancy to be delicious. The patty was meaty, cooked well and there was a good ratio of meat to bun.
The fries were a delightful surprise! They were fried at the perfect temperature because there wasn't a lick of grease on them. I love that! They tasted like genuine potatoes - yes I had to point that out. The fries actually tasted like POTATOES.
I really enjoyed my first trip to the Burnt Tongue and I'll definitely be back. The portion sizing was great, the prices were pretty decent and the service was super friendly. There were smiles all around. My only qualm would be the lighting in the joint - what a bloggers nightmare! I couldn't get a decent shot of anything. Next time - I sit by the window!
No website or anything yet for these guys but follow them on twitter (@TheBurntTongue) and Instagram for what the daily offerings are.
Happy Eating!

Box Office Report: 'The Butler' Winning Again, Beating 'Mortal Instruments,' 'You're Next'
Playing in fewer theaters, "The World's End" and "Blue Jasmine" are both enjoying solid Friday business.
Moviegoers continue to flock to see Lee Daniel's The Butler, putting the historical drama on course to stay at No. 1 ahead of a crowded pack of new entries, according to early Friday returns.
The Weinstein Co. release -- headlining Forest Whitaker and Oprah Winfrey -- is expected to gross in the $15 million range, pushing its total earnings to roughly $50 million, all but ensuring that those investing in the $30 million film will see a return.

As for the three new films, Lionsgate's horror pic You're Next is being given an edge over Edgar Wright's sci-fi action-comedy The World's End and supernatural young-adult property Mortal Instruments: City of Bones, although You're Next could lose the No. 2 spot to holdover We're the Millers.
Box office observers believe You're Next, about a family whose vacation home is attacked my animal-mask-wearing assailants, will open in the $10 million range. Lionsgate acquired the film at the 2011 Toronto Film Festival, but its release was delayed after the company's merger with Summit Entertainment.
World's End is expected to gross in the $8 million to $9 million range for the weekend, a solid hit for Focus Features, considering it is only playing in 1,549 theaters, compared to 3,118 for Mortal Instruments and 2,437 for You're Next. World's End, starring Simon Pegg and Nick Frost, follows a group of friends who reunite for an epic bar crawl only to discover that their hometown has been infested with a supernatural being. Written by Wright and Pegg, the sci-fi comedy is considered the third in the British filmmaker's series, after Shaun of the Dead (2004) and Hot Fuzz (2007).
FILM REVIEW: Lee Daniels' The Butler
Mortal Instruments, based on Cassandra Clare's popular supernatural YA book series, opened on Wednesday and has done tepid business so far, grossing roughly $4.7 million in its first two days. The film, starring Lily Collins as a demon-hunting teen, opened on Wednesday and may only earn $8 million to $9 million for the three-day weekend, a disappointing start.
Sony is releasing Mortal Instruments via its Screen Gems label but has limited financial exposure since the $60 million movie was fully financed and produced by Germany's Constantin Films, which is already in preproduction on a sequel.
The other film to watch is Woody Allen's critically acclaimed Blue Jasmine, which expanded into a total of 1,200 theaters on Friday, marking Allen's widest release ever. The Sony Pictures Classics pic, earning north of $10 million to date, could add $5 million to its coffers by the end of the weekend.
