Esri Insider: The First Year
Today marks the one year anniversary of the Esri Insider blog launch. It all started on June 30th, 2011, with a simple little post about our (then) new Ocean Basemap. Since then, we've brought you more than 30 posts about Esri's vision, technology trends, and other important and entertaining topics for geospatial professionals.
In terms of page views, the top 5 most popular posts to date have been:
- The Future Looks Bright for Spatial Thinkers
- GIS and The City 2.0

What's the Cost of a Power Failure?
Measuring the impact on customers
This year, New England had one of its worst late season storms in recent history. Heavy snow brought down trees, which in turn, brought down many power lines. Some people were out of power for more than a week. In March, a fire in a substation shut off power to the historic Back Bay section of Boston for several days. The blackout left hotels, office buildings, and subway stations dark and shuttered some of the most exclusive shops in the city. Continue reading
Multi-dimensional Mapping: The Civil War Story Map
Ongoing sesquicentennial observances have heightened interest in a topic that millions of Americans have always found spellbinding. The saga of the Civil War seemed an ideal opportunity to test some techniques for timelines, animations, and search functions tied to interactive maps.
The "Battlefields of the Civil War" map was the latest in an ongoing effort to show how intelligent maps can help users explore subjects over both space and time. We're also seeking to give users different options for browsing, navigating, and discovering content—even within a single story map. Continue reading
Linear vs. Non-Linear Storytelling: The Map Tour Template
We've been developing story maps for over a year now, and from the start we've defined the term liberally. Many, even most, of our stories are non-linear; that is, they allow the user to browse and wander through the story at will. We've organized these stories using elements such as headlines, text blocks, map legends, and user interfaces that help guide the user through the map. But there's no "correct" sequence by which users are supposed to navigate through these story maps.
Traditionalists might insist that a story is by nature linear. Written or oral stories are in fact linear narratives. Even stories that jump back and forth in time are written and read in a linear fashion. The mediums of text and the spoken word require it: you can't tell, read, or listen to a story all at once, or back to front, or at random. It's at least theoretically possible, perhaps, but doing so makes comprehension difficult.
Esri's Ocean GIS Initiative
On a planet where 71 percent of the surface is covered by water, the oceans are critical for life itself. They feed us, regulate our weather patterns, provide over half of the oxygen that we breathe, and provide for our energy and economy. Yet only 5 to 10 percent of the ocean floor and of the waters beneath the surface have been explored and mapped in a level of detail similar to what already exists for the dark side of the Moon, for Mars, and for Venus.
GIS technology, which has long provided effective solutions to the integration, visualization, and analysis of information about land, is now being similarly applied to oceans. Our ability to measure change in the oceans (including open ocean, nearshore, and coast) is increasing, not only because of improved measuring devices and scientific techniques, but also because new GIS technology is aiding us in better understanding this dynamic environment. This domain has progressed from applications that merely collect and display data to complex simulation, modeling, and the development of new research methods and concepts.

Taking an Order
Order taking is a skilful art that reflects the efficiency of
both the waiter and the establishment. An order taken down
clearly and precisely would ensure that each guest guests
exactly what he has ordered and in the right sequence. This is
also the time when a order-taker can prove his salesmanship by
pushing through suggestions on menu items that yield a high
profit margin.
After a guest is seated, check with the guest if he or she is
comfortable. The first thing to offer him is the beverage menu
card, more popularly known as the "Wine List". It is quite in
order to suggest an appropriate cocktail or plain drink by
saying "May I recommend our barman's special Bloody Mary or
Planters Punch?" In this case, the waiter has given a definite
choice and has limited it to two items to make it easy for the
guest to choose from. While taking down the order the waiter
should have already decided on a code to associate the order
with a guest. He may number the guest in a clockwise direction
starting from the host or he may decide on his own starting
point – perhaps the person sitting closest to the service
entrance, etc. It is in order to have any other logical
identification system as long as the guest is ensured of his
exact order. Many restaurants have a pre-set, standard cover
number system, to allocate number to guests.
In smaller establishments, an order may be taken on an order
paid and later transcribed on to a check or bill. In larger
restaurants the order is taken on a Kitchen Order Ticket (K.O.T),
which has copies, the number depending upon the establishments
control system. Usually the original copy of the KOT goes to the
kitchen or bar while the second copy goes to the cashier for the
preparation of the check or bill, while the third copy is
retained by the waiter to aid him to give a proper service.
When taking down the food order it is prudent to allow the guest
some time to decide. A guest does not appreciate being bustled
into giving his decision. Polite suggestions may be given to
help the guest decide but he should not be forced to decide in
favour of the waiter's recommendation. The waiter should be at
hand to explain dishes, which demand explanations. He is
therefore required to be conversant with the preparation and
final presentation of dishes listed on the Menu card. In
addition, his salesmanship would enable him to explain the
dishes in an attractive way. For example, "A shrimp cocktail
comprises of fresh succulent shrimps garnished in tangy cocktail
sauce, served on a bed of crisp green lettuce".
A course in the menu must have the logical sequence of a
classical menu. Of course, the sequence is according to what
range the establishment offers. The normal sequence would be:
Main Dish
Sweet Dish
Normally the dessert and coffee order is taken after the main
meal is completed. Some establishments have separate Dessert
Menu Cards, which offer a range of hot and cold desserts, flambé
desserts, ice creams and coffee.
Rules for Conduct in the Restaurant:
1) Present a well-groomed, neat appearance.
2) Always stand erect in the restaurant. Do not slouch or
3) Do not fold your hands in the front. It gives a closed
4) Do not touch the food with bare hands in front of the
5) Always have your waiters' friends handy.
1) Greet all guests with the time of the day and with the
name if possible.
2) Help to seat the ladies.
3) Provide extra cushions or special chairs for children.
4) Do no overhear conversations.
5) Be attentive to guest calls and listen to what the
guest has to say.
6) Use the magic words – Please, Thank You and Sorry.
7) Avoid gossiping / arguing with colleagues in the
8) Talk softly but clearly.
9) Light guests' cigarettes. Clear ashtrays after a
maximum of two butts.
10)Know your job well – menu knowledge.
11)Be enthusiastic about your job.
12) Avoid soliciting for tips & remove tips after the
guest has left.
13) Empathies with the guest's complaint.
Do Not
14) Delay in responding.
15) Give ambiguous responses.

Are you a memories collector? I most of them just in my head, or on the photos, but sometimes I leave myself other "souvenirs". This is mostly when it comes to my children. I have a little box for each of them, where I put the memories of the first few weeks of their lives. What's inside? Hospital bracelets, first dummies, Ben has got a little hospital hat, and umbilical cords ( just the piece that fell of baby belly). My Paul can't understand how can I store something like umbilical cord, but this is polish tradition. I'm pretty sure my mum still has got my cord, if it didn't fell apart after so many years.
Last Sunday we visited Paul's mum. She gave us another memory. Paul's christening clothes! She kept them for over 30 years, and they look like new. I don't care if it's old fashioned christening dress, Eva is going to wear it for her first big day, that way we're going to have a very special memory.

I wanted an easy way to monitor Bitcoin addresses for transactions with Python and without having to download the entire block chain, so I created a module that lets you watch Bitcoin addresses through Blockchain Websocket API and perform custom callback: TxWatcher.
You can install it with pip, the code is hosted on Github.
$ pip install txwatcher
Here is an example:
from txwatcher import TxWatcher
w = TxWatcher(['18eGUUxUsSetQYxJcQXEQTjSCUETEFeA4E'])
def tx_printer(tx):
# You can add as many callbacks as you want
w.on_tx += tx_printer
# Blocking way
# or
import thread
thread.start_new_thread(w.run_forever, ())
# Do some work
Check out the README on GitHub.

Miami Beach
South Beach residents worry over new 'party zone' near West Avenue
Many West Avenue and Palm View residents are worried their neighborhoods could take center stage in a new burgeoning South Beach entertainment district, so the city is looking to create regulations on future alcohol establishments.
Residents in the West Avenue Neighborhood Association have grown concerned about the revelers who pour out of Bodega Taqueria and Tequila on 16th Street when the popular restaurant and bar closes at 5 a.m. They've complained of noise once people spill out into the street and the debris they leave behind.
Gayle Durham, the association's president, told the Miami Herald she and others are worried about losing the neighborhood's relative peace and quiet to possible future nightclubs that may want to replicate Bodega's success. She's fielded complaints of drunken partygoers stumbling out of the bar, getting into fights and causing a ruckus that keeps neighbors up at night.
"The question for West Avenue and Alton Road is will we become Miami Beach's next entertainment zone and party zone?" she said.
Miami Beach Commissioner Joy Malakoff said people living in the Palm View Historic District are also worried places north of Lincoln Road will open and attract loud and rowdy late-night crowds. She initiated the discussion at Wednesday's land use committee meeting.
I think we have to do more to protect the quality of life of residents who live within 100 feet of areas that are opening restaurants and bars and entertainment establishments.
Miami Beach Commissioner Joy Malakoff
Palm View is a small swath of mostly single-family homes north of 17th Street and south of Collins Canal between Lenox Court and Meridian Avenue.
Commissioners directed city planners to draft an ordinance for future consideration that would apply to properties within 100 feet of West Avenue and the Palm View neighborhoods, which would include some areas currently zoned for medium-to-intense commercial development along the east side Alton Road and the south side of 17th Street.
The details remain to be hashed out. Some preliminary ideas include having outdoor bars close at midnight and indoor businesses close at 2 a.m.
Malakoff said the city has to strike a balance between the interests of residents and businesses. Commissioner John Elizabeth Alemán agreed with finding that balance, noting that she's sensitive to residents' worries, but a vibrant nightlife is part of the reason Miami Beach's businesses compete with other hot spots like Wynwood.
"I don't believe that people come to visit Miami Beach for the peace and quiet," she said.
For his part, Bodega operator Joseph Natale told commissioners he has heard the complaints, and has already hired additional security guards, asked staff to clean up litter and will look into possibly hiring off-duty police officers to manage the crowd. He pledged to work with the city going forward.
"Between having a very loyal local following, as well as a tourist following, Bodega is a wonderful place," he said. "We just definitely need to work on minimizing the disruptions, which I am completely dedicated to."
Miami Beach planning staffers will draft an ordinance for commissioner to consider in the coming months.

Sacramence's Cremations repress still available!
Sacramence has always been an evolutionary artist, continually shedding the skin of past work to form something new, something worthwhile. Lovers Seek Dominance, Sacramence's debut album, was strongly cemented in industrial culture and the cult of Christ. Those themes carried over into a split EP with Altered Form and another EP, Tantrum; however, the sonic palette of Sacramence was ever changing. Abrasive rhythms began to give way to pulsating beats and ominous chants, and distant whispers transformed into electrified calls and electronic soundscapes.
Cremations, Sacramence's new album, marks yet another departure for the artist. The album's theme is now centered on dead love, and lost love, against the backdrop of a dying society. Those pulsating beats are now in the forefront while sorrowful synthesizers make clear the pain of a genuine romance never to be had, or forgotten. Although highly personal, Cremations does lend a brief open hand in the form of "Modern Love," the lead track off the album that borders on pop. Make no mistake though, Cremations as a whole is far from pop and closer to the darkwave masters of the 1980s.
So take heed from Sacramence and embrace the death of love. Embrace Cremations.
The Yellow Book compilation repress from Vienna Press forthcoming

Improve your mesh-working skills while you make this fun and festive decoration to hang on your door. You can even personalize your reindeer with a unique bow or a red nose - it's all up to you! Either way, this Mesh Reindeer is sure to stand out!
Use the end of the mesh and attach to the inner wire on the triangle form using a chenille stem.
Measure out approximately 12'' of mesh. Gather mesh and attach to the outer wire on the triangle form. Continue this in a zig zag pattern around the triangle form.
Fluff the mesh to fill in the triangle.
Cut a 5'' black circle out of stiff felt and hot glue to a chenille stem. Bend the stem in half. Glue onto the bent portion of the stem to the center of the circle.
Hot glue chenille stems to the back of the wiggle eyes. Bend the stems in half. Glue only the bent portion of the stem to the back center of the eye.
Cut two ears from brown felt using the photo as a guide.
Cut antlers from brown stiff felt, using the photo as a guide. Hot glue two sheets of felt together for each antler.
Work the eyes, nose and antlers into the mesh. Attach using chenille stems.
Hot glue the ears and holly pick into place underneath the antlers. Allow hot glue to cool for a few seconds before attaching to mesh.

Discussion in 'Miscellaneous' started by WayneKramer, Jun 18, 2014.
what xD
It's pretty clear if you click on the link and read it the company lost 99% of their data after someone got access to their AWS account
Don't worry, I'll draw you a pie chart and it'll all come together.
Seriously, why are you posting this here?
i think what we need here is a whiteboard and a couple minutes so we can 'splain all this clearly
Isn't that BrenJone's sword?
read the title of this thread......
That does not make it relevant.
Here I was thinking this would spark a conversation about security, hacking, or something along those lines and instead..... this shiny turd happened. What is going on?
you made a post title about getting pwned (with a broken link in the description), ultimax posted someone else getting pwned.
I think the thread should be given over to the rightful owner, Ultimamaxx, on the grounds of: proper relevance achieved.
Sorry, but yes it does
Oh dang, their whole site got taken down. Well it was definitely up before.Check this out:http://www.csoonline.com/article/23...-close-its-doors-after-security-incident.htmlorhttp://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/06/18/code_spaces_destroyed/
I was wondering what was up. When I opened the broken link, it crashed Chrome for me. I thought I was the one being pwned because of that.
Wow... They just closed their 7+ year old because of a hacker :/ With their left over money they should file a lawsuit and a investigation and use the hacker.

text: I am a New England-based artist specializing in contemporary, non-traditional botanical illustration. My subjects are primarily natural specimans collected on walks through nearby woods, around our local reservoir and in my own backyard. I prefer to draw plants in their myriad of past-peak forms – wilted, withered, wrinkled, twisted, contorted and the like – which I find gives them more personality and feeling, (hard to avoid injecting some anthropomorphism here). This also suits my sense of color and form; subtle earth tones and delicate yet energetic lines. My works divert from the scientific accuracy of garden variety botanical illustration as I, instead, rely on a liberal smattering of artistic license. All are drawn from life.

Lincoln in the LR
This picture sums up a lot about Lincoln without saying a word. Always wearing his helmet ready to get on another bike ride at a moments notice, always at the edge of every door and window, always looking out into the outdoors, waiting; sometimes patiently: asking every time to go up the hill in the landy. Always wild, ever sweet. SDG

Is it part of the French-Germany connection in keeping people « out of America » ? Some people can't go without looking at others toys and spreading harm and terrorism.
Surprise surprise…
We are two by now to ask for the exit door.
God is a living God.
The plot of keeping me out of Africa – pardon, of America – came from the WH in connection with the German relics and the Nazi EU alike.
Mrs Le pen started its lattest self-satisfying speech with the commencement of the World. The story of Abel – my son is Abel Williams Jefferson -. She then entered an explanation opposing nomadism (Abel) to sedentarism (Cain) to conclude that Abel has lost everything and found itself obliged to join with Cain.
She stopped there. She wanted to say nomadism is the way to nowhere.
Was she talking to Jews ? or to Me ? or to Immigrants ? Rubbish.
The « speech » itself was a collection of plagiarism. Examples : there is nothing without values, she said. Indeed.
There is nothing without principles. Really, what a discovery.
We have always said that our fight was one of « Civilisation ». Repeat after me, my students. That one is more than laughable. Lies from a military organisation as le Front. Name changing brings nothing to the pot.
She then recalled Steve Banon was in there. Banon ? The former Trump's supporter ?
Look, her niece was invited by Trump recently – following on my footsteps – to talk about « French First ». Another plagiarism. Lol. France is an occupied land. Jews are the ones in command. This is not a question, but a fact.
I'm so joyful, those are people who did nothing to elect Trump, instead, they were barking with French dogs,
[including the fake news and the president elect who turned his coat to invite president Trump the 14 July.. birds of the same…]
…to disparage and mocked Trump on a daily basis, calling him a Fool.
Neverthless, they wormed out to suck Him.
During the speech, I listened the 25 first mn and stop it… for boriness, she sent her congratulations to Renzi, the Italian PM who have just lost the elections.
During the presidential campaign, she campaigned for the euro exit. The party campaigning on it in Italy, the 5 stars party has won the Italian referendum on the issue, should the matter be called into question.
Less than a year ago, she was for the exit of euro. Today, after being caught cheatings inside the european parliament with fake employees working indeed not inside her european staff, but for her political party : paid by the EU money instead of the party's : I confess this is a common trend and she did nothing bad new –
…to have an immunity, she is oblige to make that U-turn. Actually she is a pro-euro militant. Debatting against Macron, she wasn't but couldn't explain how and why. The very moment she lost that poor debate.
Those are our political careerists … A misery.
After the fake story over Abel and Cain, a misleading interpretation, Abel and Cain was not about Nomadism and Sedentarism, but about Goodness and Evil. Abel was a pure heart man and Cain a killer. Asked where is your brother, Cain kept on staying to God, don't ask me, I'm not the one in charge of my brother.
Meanwhile the blood of Abel was crying beneath the soil.
Did anybody know the name of the heiress children of Le front ? How many children ? Nobody cares. But people worming themselves into your life will always open their mouths of nullity to throw dirtiness wherever whenever.
Not everybody, specially, those fake christians can stand as a biblical exegese. You can not be a Christian and at the same time vote for Homosexuality. It is contrary to the creed.
Knowledge over the Bible is something you share publicly with people of knowledge not zombies. You can't buy it or grab it, for your personal interests.
Looking at other people as and bedrooms is a pity. And they call themselves …
But there is more, she then tried to mock my latest aborted travel with BA. The pilot was instructed from inside the WH and from Germany to shut the gate earlier and not to do His job which consists, as a captain of a ship, to take care of all His passengers, including asking where they are.
So, for the Pilot, it was a terrific mistake, only some hidden pressures can explain.
All the more so, the police officer who refused to stamp my passport and let me in, advocating « the pilot told him the plane was shut : I looked at my watch, it was 15 mn before the taking off » – at the same time, they were searching my suitcase to get it out … this police officer should have called the pilot to tell him about my presence.
They are co-responsible. Nevertheless, in this present World, nobody is accountable. They eat your money, suck it and you shut up.
To say it in simple terms, they knew I was on that terrifying duty free shop, that I was coming immediately.
Confirmation of the laughing came the day after with the Daily signal sending me two pictures :
One of them, topping their headlines was a Trump female adviser Kellyane, wearing a clothe – always the clothe and what I buy is of interest and subjected to value – designed like the Gucci perfume bought at that airport duty free, where BA hostess didn't and couldn't see me of course, while the White House and the Daily signal was following everything I was doing, live.
Daily signal is presenting themselves as an alternative media…
In the same Signal of despair, there was a second picture of a flat as woman wearing a swimsuit, designed after the foulard on my Head that same day. The model was front and back, all flat.
See what I called rats and worms. If not monkeys.
As I related the story in French, saying that times after the refusal, I was wandering around looking for the exit door. There was none, the BA hostess came lately to inform me – it is the moment I knew the suitcase was unloaded – she told me to get out from from here, I have to follow the exit bagages signal.
So I did. And I may say the signal leads to nowhere unless somebody inside the airport come to help you.
In fact you have to walk from the Departure board to the Arrival. The entire airport. While the gang of rats was laughing.
They didn't laugh that long. Exit. And it is not finish. Whoever have participated in that Machiavelic scenario should and would pay for it.
I wrote it and immediately, the sucker- in-chief speaking took it : you're thinking you are going to travel, in the end, you found yourself wandering.
OK. Mrs Le pen is joking. I suppose. Her party has been wandering for years, until we took it down to the bush, to oppose Macron and now she is talking. The woman is wicked, ingrat, ugly and unfaithful. We have sent her a lot of voters, which in France translates in cash and here is the militia, the nazi talking.
OK. See how things developped next. This so-called party will be sent to the Middle Ages. This one the People will carry the job on. The people used to tell me : don't support that snake and that nazi organization. Now I know.
She is a thief this woman. A thief and a liar. We have helped the thief to become a lawmaker. Something scandalous. You know those rats when they want to be elected, they are kind. Afterwards, you see the snake and wolves.
The first time I reacted to the speech – that was 3 days ago – she sent to me, I didn't ask, no dustbin, guess what happened nearby : the entrance of the building I'm living in was broken. Secondly, the flat nearby, belonging to the Municipality is dressed with the British flag. Laughable.
All this hooliganism under the cams of the Municipality watch.
The political field is full of bandits, frauds and money makers. They have no clues, no limits, no principles, no morality, no class… they are cheap people prospering where they have only slaves and servile people in front of them.
The main things they are up too are sucking and obstruction. When it is not enough, the next stage is death threats and hooliganism. If they are men enough, they can try it with real men and openly.
To be acceptable to the fake news platforms, the heiress needed to bow down to them. That is how she became connected to the hidden connections.
Whirpool and so on.
US Commander: 'US Troops Prepared to Die for Israel' in War against Syria, Hezbollah
Elise –
I want to tell you about a very exciting trip that I took last weekend to Texas and Arizona. That follows the trip we took several weeks ago to Illinois, Iowa, Wisconsin and Michigan. Of these six states, Trump won five. And, in Illinois, where Trump lost, progressives are taking on the old and moribund Democratic machine.
The very good news is: the political revolution is on the move, not only in progressive states but in conservative areas as well. You have heard me say it a million times. This country will not change if the Democratic Party continues to ignore half the states in this country, including some of the poorest.
We're not going to transform the politics of the United States by just doing fundraisers with wealthy people in New York and California or starting Super PACs funded by special interests. We have got to take the fight for economic, social, racial and environmental justice to every county in every state in this country.
And the good news is that is exactly what is beginning to happen. This year, there are more candidates than ever on the ballot – in progressive and conservative areas – who support Medicare for all, free tuition at public colleges and universities, a $15 minimum wage, gun safety legislation and our entire progressive agenda.
In many instances, these candidates are fighting against a political establishment that tells them they cannot win running on a progressive agenda, and they are fighting against a financial elite who will spend anything to stop them. We should work as hard as we can to elect those candidates, and I intend to – just as I did this past weekend. But I cannot do it alone. So I have to ask:
Can I count on you to make a $3 donation to support my work traveling the country and rallying people to support progressive causes and candidates who need our help? I would not ask if it were not so important. I cannot do it without your help. We're in this together.
That's what the political revolution is about and that's what, with your support, we're doing. And, trust me, it's not me alone. Hundreds of volunteers helped on this trip and I spoke alongside of great progressives like Jim Hightower of Texas and Nina Turner, the national president of Our Revolution.
Do you want to hear about success? In Texas earlier last week, progressive candidates have either won or advanced to runoffs in 19 out of 27 races that were contested, and voter turnout shot way up statewide.
On our visit to Texas we had thousands of people come out in San Antonio and Lubbock. Yes. In Lubbock, one of the most conservative areas in Texas, where Trump won 2-1, we had a standing room only crowd of 1,300. This is a place where the Democratic Party is incredibly weak and where the local newspaper claimed no progressive rally like ours had taken place in a « long time, if ever. »
(The massive crowd at the rally in San Antonio, Texas)
And what was our message in Trump country? It was that the political pundits are wrong when they say there are « blue states » like Vermont, « red states » like Texas, and « purple states » like Arizona, and that we need to be « realistic » in our goals because there are big differences between them all.
(Bernie takes a moment to thank some volunteers in Lubbock, Texas)
Because no matter where you live, the vast majority of people don't believe in a Republican agenda that provides huge tax breaks to billionaires while cutting Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid.
No matter where you live, the vast majority of the people understand that in the wealthiest country in the history of the world people should not be forced to work two or three jobs to pay the bills because we have a national minimum wage of $7.25 an hour – a starvation wage. They also understand that women should not be earning 80 percent or less of what men make for doing the same work.
No matter where you live, we all get sick, we all have accidents and we all need health care. And we now see a growing majority in this country who understand that health care is a right, not a privilege. We also see more and more people who want a Medicare-for-all, single-payer system.
No matter where you live, the majority of people understand that is is insane and counterproductive to the best interests of our country that hundreds of thousands of bright people cannot afford to go to college and that millions of others leave school with a mountain of debt that burdens them for decades.
No matter where you live, more and more Americans, including gun owners, understand that we need to do everything possible to end the unspeakable level of gun violence that is currently taking place. They know that, no matter what the NRA thinks, we need to pass commonsense gun safety legislation which keeps guns out of the hands of people who should not have them.
(A huge turnout for Bernie at the Orpheum Theater in Phoenix, Arizona)
At our rally the next day thousands of people came out to talk about the importance of comprehensive immigration reform that is based on justice, not racism; the urgent need to ensure health care is a right for every man, woman and child in this country; and the importance of energizing and electing progressives in Arizona and all across the country in 2018.
(And the overflow crowd outside the event in Phoenix, Arizona)
And we must. Because the continued decline of the middle class, grotesque levels of income and wealth inequality, disastrous trade policies and an inadequate educational system affect all of us.
This year, I am going to campaign hard to elect progressives in communities Democrats have long written off. But I cannot do it alone. I need your help to make it happen:
Make a $3 donation to support my work traveling the country and rallying people to support progressive causes and candidates? I would not ask if it were not so important.
We are at a critical moment for the future of the Democratic Party, and for our country. As progressives we are making progress, but much more needs to be done. Trump is trying to divide our country up through racism, bigotry and xenophobia. We are bringing people together in the fight for justice and dignity for all.
Thank you for your support in realizing that goal.
In solidarity,
Bernie Sanders
1989, a Wall was broken somewhere. No wall can stand the test of History.
It is a fact.
I just finished touring the prototypes of the wall.
I wanted all the major media networks to be forced to show the country that we are serious about delivering on our PROMISE to BUILD THE WALL.
The prototypes are done. Our great American workers are ready to start building. The House has passed our bill to build the wall. Now it's time to get the liberal obstructionists in the Senate to do their job and PASS OUR BILL.
Never forget how powerful your voice is. It's only because of the millions of petitions we sent the Democrats that they finally opened back up the government after shutting it down to protect illegal immigrants.
You were the reason we won in 2016. You will be the reason why one of today's prototypes will become the wall that STOPS illegal immigration.
If we lose our borders, we lose our country.
So please, add your name to tell liberal obstructionists in the Senate to BUILD THE WALL.
Donald J. Trump
President of the United States
What just happened in Pennsylvania ?
Big news: Democrats just flipped a House district in Pennsylvania…that Donald Trump won by 20 points!
This is a major defeat for the GOP — and a strong sign that Democrats have a shot to compete everywhere this fall.
Keep the momentum going right now. Pitch in $1 to give all our Democratic Senate candidates the resources to fight for EVERY single Senate seat in 2018 >>
This is a huge win for Democrats, but make no mistake: We still face a tough battle this fall — and we know that Republicans will stop at nothing to attack our candidates.
Last night's victory, along with our December Senate win in Alabama, is proof we can compete in every state — but it'll take a huge effort from grassroots supporters like you to give our candidates the resources they need to win.
Our Democratic Senate candidates are counting on you. Pitch in $1 right now to help Democrats keep winning throughout 2018:

Apparently it is about the make-up imposed on to me. Maliciously. Stupid of me. Ah ? You are asking yourself what is she talking about ?
Saint-Exupery international airport is a tiny airport. It is not Heathrow. The traffic is so light… See Wikipedia ranking below.
All the more so, they never called « les passagers de Londres sont invités à la porte … pour embarquement » to send the signal, the boarding has begun. My ears were wide open. Until that last call, I heard that one.
The last call reminds me of a gate close at Brussels, in 2014 or may be 2010 or 2016…
The same scenario, same protocol, but at least, Brussels were correct enough to make some accomodations. I think it was to have our/my body picture, see what I'm talking about ?

Dear Ms Elise Mirette,
Thank you for choosing Flightright to enforce your compensation claim for 600.00 EUR.
We have now sent the airline a request of payment, and set a deadline by which they must respond.

Please note that in some cases, the airline might contact you directly with an indication of payment. If this happens, please notify us immediately. This is the only way we can enforce your claim effectively.
Naturally, we will provide you with regular updates on your case. You can also use the My Flightright portal to check the status of your case at any time.
Please note, in the event that your claim is successfully enforced 421.50 € will be paid out to you.

When you buy your ticket, you pay it immediately.
We need new regulations on airlines transportations and duties.It is not fair for an airlines to suck a returning ticket right away, knowing perfectly that, in the meantime, somebody else will have the already seat. Once given boarding cards, it is unacceptable not to travel. How many calls should be expressively issued. As far as the security is concerned, how is it those people just took off like this, without even trying to know where is the missing passenger. Imagine I was a terrorist posing some bombs somewhere ? They knew where I was and that I was nearby that is why they didn't issue an alert signal. Think about it. BA have already swallowed a ticket of mine in 2016. Etc...

A 1955 survey of public opinion showed that 13 per cent of Swedes thought there were 'intolerable conditions' in society.
Despite huge progress in the following half -century with human liberties, reduced poverty, rising incomes and improved health care, that figure has not fallen. Indeed, it's risen to more than half of Swedes.
This comment comes from an excellent book by Johan Norberg called Progress: Ten Reasons to Look Forward to the Future. It's an excellent read and a timely reminder that things aren't as bad as they're often described.
We've had a reminder that things are getting better in terms of Scotland's four biggest cities. This year's Centre for Cities Outlook report was very positive. There are challenges, Aberdeen faces a reduction in oil prices and Dundee is lagging in jobs growth. In both cases time should help resolve those issues.
Oil prices are unlikely to fall further and will hopefully rise, whilst Dundee's waterfront development is creating a genuinely world class new V&A museum and waterfront quarter for the city.
The report also showed that Scotland really does have 'smart' cities, with Edinburgh, Glasgow and Aberdeen all in the top ten 'most qualified' (smartest) in the UK. Dundee wasn't far behind at 14th. This is testament to the long term success of Scotland's higher education sector, but is also enhanced by the attractiveness of our cities for students to stay on after their studies.
Glasgow, our largest city economy, bounced back from the downturn with the highest growth spurt of any UK city in 2014. The new £100 million Technology and Innovation Centre at Strathclyde University and the rollout of the city deal is the spur for further 'inclusive' growth.
Smart cities are the ones that will succeed in an increasingly competitive and (with Brexit) complicated international business environment. There are still major challenges for all our cities, but collectively they look well placed to continue to grow and prosper.
I can't help but also highlight a recent council survey in Edinburgh which shows that 94 per cent of residents are happy with their life in the city. It's an extraordinary result which would be the envy of cities worldwide.
So, whilst there is understandable angst and anxiety about international upheaval we need to stay positive about our strengths.
A child born in one of our cities today is likely to have greater choices and life chances than any previous generation. In an age at times dominated by negativity and against a backdrop of Brexit and Donald Trump, our 'smart cities' are the engines of growth for our economy and they are well placed to succeed and grow.
There are undoubtedly political storms ahead. Whilst we must never be complacent, both the public and private sectors must stay positive and focused on jobs growth and investment. As the state of our world-class cities shows, we still have much to be positive about.
Donald Anderson is former leader of Edinburgh City Council and a partner at Newgate Communications.

Pay no attention to the BREAKING NEWS banner just on CNBC: Twitter is working.
Yes, about 20 minutes ago, the company posted on its status blog that it was "responding to site downtime." A post says: "We're working to recover from a site outage and will update as we learn more."
But as of now, we are using Twitter just fine. Are you?
No word if the outage had anything to do with the denial of service attacks that plagued Twitter last week. Those were directed at a single person on Twitter, Facebook, and other popular Web sites.

Top 10 Smart home devices at CES 2015
Top 10 Smart home devices at CES 2015
09 Jan 2015|
The age of the Smart home is well and truly here. There are countless different brands at CES this year offering a vast range of different connected devices, as well as new methods to get them all talking to you, and one another. In no particular order, here are 10 of the best we have seen this year:
1) Samsung SmartThings Hub and Sensors
Bringing together a number of different sensors, including motion and presence sensors, Smart plugs and a moisture sensor to alert you to burst pipes, Samsung SmartThings is going to make your home truly Smart. You can also connect non Samsung devices like the Phillip's Hue and control everything from one app.
2) iCam HD Pro
Winner of the 2015 Best of Innovation award at CES, the iCam HD Pro is the first intelligent home security robot. Able to track sound and movement, it will send you notifications if something or someone is moving around in your home. Great for security, keeping an eye on teenagers left home alone, and ghost hunting!
3) Bosch Home Connect app
The Home Connect app allows you to control, check and maintain your home appliances. You can preheat the oven from the office or check the contents of the fridge from the supermarket. Your appliances also communicate with the app if there is a fault or maintenance issue, so you know exactly what is needed to fix your machine.
4) Misfit Bolt lightbulb
A Smart LED smart light bulb that won't break the bank. The Bolt can wake you up with a gentle sunrise and create lightscapes to dazzle your friends and family. Unlike other Smart lighting on the market, the Bolt does not need a hub, it simply runs off your homes existing WiFi.
5) Mother
A different approach to the smart home, Mother allows you to add Smart sensors it calls "Cookies" to the things in your home that you want to track. You can add a cookie to the fridge to monitor the temperature, keep one in your bed to track your sleeping habits, and even add one to a pot of pills and set up reminders to take them. The Cookies can also be used as fitness trackers.
6) LG Hom Bot robotic vacuum
With Dual Eye 2.0 sensors, the LG Hom Bot robotic vacuum learns how often your floors need cleaning and simply gets on with the job. If you have guests staying you can quickly programme the Hom Bot to work overtime! The square design also allows the bot to get right into the corners.
7) Ring video doorbell
Ring streams HD video and audio directly to your smartphone or tablet wherever you are in the world. Unlike other Smart doorbells on the market, you can speak directly to whoever is at your front door - ideal if you order online a lot and are never in to receive the delivery. There is also a motion sensor built in to give you extra piece of mind.
8) Parrot Pot
Ideal for those who love houseplants but don't have green fingers. With a 2.2l water reservoir, the Parrot Pot will keep your houseplants truly happy. As well as watering them to the optimum level, the sensor can also tell you whether or not the plant is getting enough sunlight.
9) WeMo
The ever expanding WeMo smart home range uses your homes WiFi to connect a whole host of devices using the WeMo app. From the original WeMo Smart plugs, through to lightbulbs, humidifiers and even a coffee machine, WeMo boasts one of the largest ranges of Smart home devices controlled by a single app.
10) Stack Alba light bulb
Most of the Smart bulbs on the market are called "Smart" because they can be controlled via your Smart phone. However the Alba bulb truly is Smart. With built in sensors the bulb changes colour, from blues hues in the morning and warmer tones in the evening. It will also dim or turn off completely if there is a lot of natural and ambient light.

Application for internship placement
NAMUBIRU ALICE made this Access to Information request to Office of the Auditor General (OAG)
Response to this request is long overdue. By law, under all circumstances, Office of the Auditor General (OAG) should have responded by now (details). You can complain by requesting an internal review.

No. 4/25 - a small heart
This is the first of the five heart motifs that I plan to make in this challenge. I didn't take long to make this because it is only a small one. But if you look closely, the two chains right on top look a bit lop-sided, even though the number of ds are the same. Must have squished the ds too much for the chain on the left. Also, for the 4-ring cluster at the lower part, maybe it would look better without the picots on the inside of the cluster.
I think it would be nice addition to a greeting card for someone special.

At the moment here in Valence in France there's good news and there's bad news. The good news is that the team are still top of the league and looking well set for promotion. The bad news is that the builders are in at our block of flats. It's deafening and it's going to be happening, as far as I can gather from the French lads, for the next two weeks. No more afternoon naps after training sessions for a fortnight.
That's going to be a pain because the training schedule is pretty intense – two sessions a day Monday to Thursday, one session on Friday, a match on Saturday, then a rest day on Sunday, which I usually use to squeeze in an extra run. On the plus side I'm the lightest I've been since I was 18, according to my mum's bathroom scales at least.
That fitness is going to be essential for the next Great Britain training camp, where we've got games against Argentina, South Korea and Tunisia – all Olympic qualifiers. But before the matches we're going to face a fitness test, either the bleep test or the Cooper test, which is a 12-minute exercise in which you simply have to run as far as you can. It's pretty tough for a goalkeeper, particularly one who has had hip and back problems, but I can't fail – if we don't meet the required standard we've been told we'll not be able to attend the camp and have to pay for our own flights home ...
Although that's not for another five weeks, the focus this year is all on the Olympics. I'll be trying to help keep Valence at the top of the league, but it isn't top priority and I haven't really developed any attachment to the club, unfortunately. I'm just seeing it as a means to an end – playing in the French third division isn't something I've been aspiring to. I want to play at a higher level.
The language barrier doesn't help obviously. The club said they'd arrange lessons but they haven't. It's been difficult to get much of a relationship going with my team-mates. It's fine on court, I've got enough to get by, it's more of an issue when we're travelling to away games and things like that. Training sessions can be a little tricky – when the coach runs us through what we'll be doing in a session I understand 50% to 60% of what he's talking about and I check with Seb (my French-speaking GB team-mate here) for the rest. So, as yet, I've not found myself off on an embarrassing run round the track when I'm supposed to be doing push-ups.
Speaking of Seb, he and I have both got slightly dodgy hairdos at the moment, for slightly different reasons. I can blame Seb for mine, to some extent. He went to the barber's here and came back with a bad one. And he can speak French, so there's no way I'm going to risk it – anything could get lost in translation. Unfortunately, though, my plans to hit the hairdresser's back in England at the weekend were scuppered by a late flight. Which is why I'm sporting a bit of an afro at the moment.

What is Dog Dandruff
Man's best friend. Your loyal companion through the best of times and the worst of times. But when you think of your loving canine, did you really believe that dandruff would be the worst of times you would suffer through together? Just as human beings are susceptible to dandruff, our faithful counterparts can also fall prey to this annoying and uncomfortable nuisance. Dandruff is made up of dead skin cells that clump together demonstrate themselves as white flakes on your dog's once beautiful coat.
Signs of Dog Dandruff
So how do you know if your dog suffers from pesky dandruff or just needs to bathe more, or possibly less, regularly? The following are four simple questions you might ask yourself when investing whether or not your dog has dandruff:
- Have you noticed white flakes on your canine's coat?
- Are they constantly scratching?
- Have you seen any thinning or bald patches of fur?
- Have you observed any unexplainable scabs, bumps, or pimples on their skin?
If you answer yes to any of the questions below, you may have yourself a case of dog dandruff. Also, pay special attention when you brush or bathe your pooch if they have a lighter coat since dandruff is far more noticeable on darker coated canines.
So you answered yes to one of the questions above and are starting to accept the fact that your dog has dandruff, make sure you take a closer look to make sure it is not moving. That's right, there is a skin condition known as Cheyletiella, or walking dandruff. Cheyletiella are mites that can live on dogs, cats, or even people and they are fairly easy to spot. Take comfort in the fact that a usual flea treatment should get rid of them. Make sure you check and treat all other animals in the house and if you develop an itchy rash after handling your infected pet, speak to your doctor right away because you may have also contracted those terrible moving mites.
Dog Breeds Prone to Dandruff
While all dog breeds are susceptible to dandruff, some are more prone to this condition than others. Check out the chart below to see a list of some of the most common breeds affected by these pesky white flakes.
|Large Dandruff-Prone Dog Breed
|Small Dandruff-Prone Dog Breed
|English and Irish Setters
|Cairn Terriers
|West Highland Terriers
|German Shepherds
|Cocker Spaniels
|Scottish Terriers
|Pit Bull Terriers
|Fox Terriers
Causes of Dog Dandruff
As is the case with humans, dog dandruff can be the result of an array of factors in your canine's health and lifestyle.
- Allergies: Typical allergens include certain foods, dust and pollens, or household cleaners. Reactions can be topical or can affect areas that have not been touched and often cause increased irritation and itchiness.
- Poor diet: If your pooch is not drinking enough water or getting enough vitamins, minerals, or fats in his food then his skin will most assuredly suffer. Dandruff could be one of a several outcomes to a poor diet.
- Fungal Skin Infections/Bacteria: An underlying skin condition could affect your dog's whole body.
- Cheyletiella: Walking dandruff can really make life miserable for your canine because these mites make themselves comfortable in your pet's coat and skin while they lay their eggs.
- Low Humidity: Living in especially dry areas may strip your dog's skin of its natural moisture, which will cause him to scratch frequently and worsen an already existing skin condition.
Treatment for Dog Dandruff
- Dandruff Shampoo: Certain dandruff shampoos are designed specifically for pets in order to help prevent and eliminate dander. Their active ingredients commonly include sulfur, iodine, or salicylic acid. Do not use dandruff shampoos designed for humans because it will be too harsh on your dog's skin and coat. We recommend GNC Pets Medicated Anti-Dandruff Shampoo, Nature's Specialties Tar and Sulfur Pet Shampoo, or Nature's Specialties Derma-Dyme (Use this shampoo if you notice any scabs, sores, or bumps).
- Oatmeal: Bathing in oatmeal often helps relieve itching and rid your pet of their pesky dandruff. Try I love my Dog Oatmeal and Neem Shampoo or Earthbath All Natural Dog Shampoo with Oatmeal and Aloe.
- Bathing: Regular baths will wash away the dandruff before it has a chance to accumulate on your pet's skin or coat. Use warm water and a mild shampoo once a month in winter months or twice a month during summer months.
- Improved Diet: Switching to a high-quality brand of pet food Choose one with plenty of healthy fats, investing in nutritional supplements (such as Cod Liver Oil or Coconut Oil), or trying out the Wild Dog Diet are all ways to improve your dog's health.
- Daily Brushing: Brushing your dog once a day will help distribute their natural oils and will message the skin, which promotes healthy oil production. (Dog brush?)
- Seek Expertise: If the above methods don't seem to be working, make sure you consult with your veterinarian to see if there are specific allergens to avoid for your beloved pooch.

The Bugabago is the company vehicle of Dale Gribble's extermination business, Dale's Dead-Bug.
The Bugabago is a white Dodge Caravan C/V (Cargo Van) with a large fake queen ant perched on the roof. The ant can be rotated to appear dead (legs up) or alive (legs down). Building the ant was a group project of Dale and his friends/neighbors Hank Hill, Bill Dauterive and Jeff Boomhauer to help them over the emotional turmoil they shared over the death of actor Hervé Villechaize.
In addition to driving the Bugabago for his business, Dale also drove it for the company carpool when he briefly worked at Stik-Tek (although he had to remove the ant from the roof). When Joseph Gribble was twelve, he, Bobby Hill, and Connie Souphanousinphone took the Bugabago for a joyride, Joseph driving. The drive came to a quick end when Joseph hit a streetlight.

Curving into Cook Strait like a Haast eagle's talon, Farewell Spit is home to over 90 species of native and migratory birds, who wander among shifting dunes and indigenous grasses. Join an off-road tour of Farewell Spit with an approved eco-guide, or enter this fragile ecosystem on foot.
Farewell Spit is a site of international ecological importance. In fact it's so special that it's number 1 on New Zealand's list of locations proposed to be developed for nomination as world heritage sites.
Known by Maori as Onetahua, meaning 'heaped up sand', Farewell Spit Nature Reserve is a bird sanctuary and wetland with incredible rolling sand dunes. Around 35km long, public access is restricted to the first 4km. Farewell Spit is more strictly protected than a National Park, with vehicle access granted only to supervised tours. You can take a walking track to Pillar Point Lighthouse. At Wharariki Beach there are caves, arches and islands, where seals breed.
If you don't feel like walking, mountain biking is allowed from Wharariki Road to Pillar Point Lighthouse, and also on the Wharariki Farm Park track, or visitors can go horse riding with Cape Farewell Horse Treks.
Where to stay
What to do
- Take an off-road tour with an eco operator
- Count the many species of native and migratory birds nesting here

Pain is a natural part of life, and we all experience it. But chronic pain — the kind that stays around indefinitely, often from an unknown source — is the very definition of frustration. People all around the world suffer chronic pain, and the search for answers and relief is ongoing.
Obviously there are surgical and pharmaceutical options for managing pain, but these come at a cost. What people really want and need are more ways to manage pain in natural, non-invasive ways. Here are three big ones to consider:
1. Cut out (or reduce) bad habits
Habits such as smoking, drinking too much, or consistently ingesting unhealthy foods and beverages put an enormous strain on your body and interfere with its ability to fight pain naturally. There's no doubt that minimizing these habits (or better yet, cutting them out completely) can drastically improve your body's ability to manage pain naturally. When your body is burdened with something like cigarettes or too much alcohol, it has less energy to spend repairing the underlying problems that are causing pain in the first place.
2. Reduce stress and exercise more
There has been plenty of medical research to suggest that increased stress levels and stressful situations are linked to higher and more chronic levels of pain. By being more aware of the stressors in your life, and by consciously taking steps to reduce them, it's entirely plausible to expect lower levels of pain on a daily basis.
Exercise may seem counterintuitive as a natural pain reliever — and obviously you want to be careful about exercising those parts of your body that are experiencing pain. But the right kind of exercise, in the right proportions, can be a powerful way to manage pain. For one thing, it releases brain chemicals called endorphins (you've probably heard of them) that effectively block pain signals. And exercise also strengthens various muscles in the body and increases strength, which itself can half pain-relieving effects.
3. Chiropractic treatment
Millions of people around the world already use chiropractic treatment as a way to manage or eliminate pain naturally, without invasive surgery or drugs — but there are still millions who have on idea if (or how) this kind of treatment can actually help their pain.
The truth is, chiropractics is getting more and more attention every year for its ability to treat pain naturally, using specific spinal adjustments administered by a highly trained doctor of chiropractic (the average doctor of chiropractic spends as many years in post-secondary education as a medical doctor). Using a deep understanding of human physiology and biology, chiropractors treat underlying imbalances in the spine, neck, and other joints to restore the body to a freely flowing and natural state. The high levels of satisfaction and pain reduction amongst patients of chiropractic doctors are well documented.
Finding the right chiropractor
As with any type of medical or wellness treatment, some practitioners are better than others. If you're interested in experimenting with chiropractic treatment as a way to manage your pain naturally, without more invasive methods, the key is to find a professional with a solid reputation in the community, years of experience, and an ongoing dedication to continued education. If you're able to find an excellent and upstanding chiropractor like this, your chances of experiencing positive results are excellent.

Treatment of Mentally Ill Offenders: Challenges
This content was COPIED from BrainMass.com - View the original, and get the already-completed solution here!
In the study of forensic psychology, emphasis typically is placed on the individuals being served and their specific traits relevant to treatment. Forensic psychology professionals in forensic treatment settings must be familiar with symptoms of the myriad mental illnesses described in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 4th Edition, Text Revision (DSM-IV-TR). Additionally, treatment professionals must be well versed in the process of psychotherapy and other treatment approaches for the mentally ill. While many of the traditional counseling and therapy theories and approaches used with clinical clients also are appropriate for mentally ill offenders (e.g., empathy, unconditional positive regard, and genuineness), forensic settings are not conventional treatment settings and may require special considerations.
Select two challenges related to the treatment of mentally ill offenders in a forensic setting. Think about the steps you would take to overcome these challenges. Finally, consider what treatment approach(es) best addresses these challenges.
Identify at least two challenges related to the treatment of mentally ill offenders in a forensic setting.
Explain the challenges you selected and the steps you would take to overcome them.
Briefly describe the treatment approach(es) you think best addresses the challenges you identified and why. Be specific.

2. Policy on treatment - 100 words
3. Challenges - 150 words
4. Addressing #3 - 150 words
This outline should yield around 500 words which should cover what you need. Just let me know via the feedback section if you need further clarification. You can use the listed resources to further explore the topic. All the best with your studies.
Treatment of Mentally Ill Offenders
Mentally ill offenders are a reality of prisons everywhere. Mental illness, according to the Mayo Clinic (2015), "refers to a wide range of mental health conditions — disorders that affect your mood, thinking and behavior. Examples of mental illness include depression, anxiety disorders, schizophrenia, eating disorders and addictive behaviors." A good number of the populace suffer from some form of mental health issue from time to time (i.e. depression due to loss of a loved one or a nasty break-up) but most everyone bounces back - with the issues they faced having been overcome, becoming part of their life experience. A mental issue becomes a mental illness when the symptoms last far longer that it should or when the symptoms lead often to stress and stops the individual from living a fully functional life. While mental illness is not usually linked to crime (APA, 2014), 7.5% of those who commit crime do so due to their mental illness (i.e. a schizophrenic hearing 'voices' commanding him to kill somebody).
According to the Treatment Advocacy Center/TAC (2014), "Approximately 20 percent of inmates in jails and 15 percent of inmates in state prisons have a serious mental illness. Based on the total number of inmates, ...

Slowpoke Espresso
Time Out says
What makes a new café successful can sometimes be as simple as having friends, and boiled eggs
Another Brunswick Street café anyone? You would think not, but damn it all if Slowpoke Espresso isn't proving that if you give us a cute name and an eco-friendly bent, we just can't wait to embrace that old chair feel and new café smell. Slowpoke is Curtis Riddington's first foray into cafe ownership after a former life working in environmental resource management (and some coffee practice working at Batch). With such feverish competition out there we're inclined to worry for him, but thankfully, he is a man with some excellent friends. His head barista Nick Millright comes to his side after years of working the groups at iconic cafes such as Gypsy's, The Breakfast Club and Tin Pot, ensuring that the La Marzocco is humming like it should be, and that a trickle of old clientele are (dis)loyally following him to his new digs. Conveniently for all concerned, Millright came as a package deal with keen eyed designer Anne-Sophie Poirier, who turned the interior into a stunning jigsaw of recycled and pilfered timber. Taking advantage of the open fireplace and sunny courtyard, Poirier has created a sophisticated, yet comfortable atmosphere for hunkering down with friends of your own- regardless of whether they're real, or in your trashy novel. Even the muffins and slices are made by another of Riddington's handy pals, who drops them off by bike on her way to work at the library. They are the platonic Brady Bunch of café crews, and not surprisingly, you get pretty good service from a team who actually like each other.
Matching the casual atmosphere, the menu is simple, but sound. We're ecstatic to see that in place of the same old poached-eggs-with-everything menu, they've embraced the highly underrated soft boiled variety- it's worth a visit just to reminisce over an eggcup. Most dishes are under $12, which is impressive considering that the raw produce is local, organic and bio dynamic wherever possible, meaning that they are personally taking the financial hit for the sake of our stomach's carbon footprint. Interesting oddities worthy of a test drive are the multigrain porridge, jazzed up with rye and rice and topped with baked rhubarb and blueberries ($9), and the crunchy, gooey and awesome grilled cheese and creamed corn on toast with smoked paprika $8. It's like an experimental after school snack finally realised on a grown up menu.
Making the grade is always an uphill battle for Fitzroy cafés, but if Riddington can inspire as much devotion from punters as he does from his friends, this little slowpoke will do just fine.
