Christmas brings out the blogging spirit in us because we can't not share the most inspiring looks of the season! It's not too late to spice up your usual decor and love your decorations this year! For me, (Emily writing here) the enjoyment is not slapping them up just to check it off the list and but actually the process of creating something new. It basically gives me a reason to do crafts every night with White Christmas on repeat. We didn't do much decorating last year because we were in the hospital with a tiny babe! So this year I'm making up for it and double downing on ALLL the greenery. But since we have a crawler now that barely understands "don't touch mommy's fragile vintage pink ornaments", (any tips are welcome!) we decided to scale down our tree to a tabletop and make up for it elsewhere. (Lots of high hanging garland + wreaths!) Today we bring you our favorite non-traditional Christmas decorations that have inspired us to freshen up our own and make them feel new! Check our Pinterest for all the reasons to get a little more creative this year.
Merry Christmas everyone! Enjoy the lovliness of the season! -d+e

Dulmatin. [Source: Rewards for Justice]The US announces a $10 million reward for information leading to the arrest of Dulmatin, a leader of Jemaah Islamiyah (JI), al-Qaeda's main affiliate in Southeast Asia. A $1 million reward is also offered for Umar Patek, who apparently is a little-known aide to Dulmatin. The reward for Dulmatin is as large as any other cash reward the US has offered for any al-Qaeda linked figure, except for $25 million rewards for Osama bin Laden, Ayman al-Zawahiri, and Abu Musab al-Zarqawi. Dulmatin is believed to have been one of the masterminds of the 2002 Bali bombings (see October 12, 2002). Since then, it is believed that he is hiding out in the Philippines and has not been linked to any other bombings. [Associated Press, 10/7/2005] The announcement is met with puzzlement in Indonesia, because it comes just six days after a second set of bombings in Bali (see October 1, 2005), and Dulmatin has no known role in those bombings. However, Azhari Husin and Noordin Mohammed Top were quickly found to be the masterminds of the bombings. Furthermore, Husin and Top have been named as masterminds to the 2002 Bali bombings and every major bombing in Indonesia since then, including the 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing (see August 5, 2003) and the 2004 Australian embassy bombing (see September 9, 2004). Later in the month, Hank Crumpton, the State Department's coordinator for counterterrorism, is asked by an Indonesian journalist why cash rewards have been given for Dulmatin and even Patek but not Husin or Top. Crumpton replies, "We believe [Dulmatin] is a threat to the region," but he declines to be more specific or to explain why there were no rewards for Husin or Top. [New York Times, 10/19/2005] Husin is killed in a shootout in Indonesia one month later (see October 1, 2005). Dulmatin is listed on the US Rewards for Justice website, but he is one of only two out of the 37 suspects listed without actual rewards given for them. The other is Zulkarnaen, who is also said to be involved in the 2002 Bali bombings and 2003 Marriott Hotel bombing.

Pakistani intelligence begins monitoring Tahir Shehzad, an apparent al-Qaeda facilitator who lives in the town of Abbottabad, Pakistan. Shehzad lives only about two miles away from where Osama bin Laden is hiding, but apparently Pakistani investigators are not aware of bin Laden's hideout at this time. Who Is Shehzad? - Shehzad works as a clerk in Abbottabad's main post office. One relative will later say that Shehzad was "a jihadist through and through." According to an article published in April 2011, shortly before the US raid on bin Laden's hideout, Shehzad is first suspected in 2010 when he is spotted with an "Arab terror suspect." The name of this suspect has not yet been made public. [Associated Press, 4/14/2011; News (Islamabad), 5/3/2011; Der Spiegel (Hamburg), 5/18/2011] Another account will claim that Shehzad was monitored after he was received suspiciously large cash transfers. [London Times, 5/23/2011] Shehzad will be arrested in January 2011 after he leaves Abbottabad to meet two suspected militants from France in a nearby town. He will then confess the location of Indonesian militant leader Umar Patek, who is arrested in Abbottabad that same month (see January 25, 2011). Alternate Account for Bin Laden Intel? - The News, a Pakistani newspaper, will later report that anonymous Pakistani government sources claim the surveillance and then arrest of Shehzad led Pakistani investigators to bin Laden's hideout before the US raid that kills bin Laden in May 2011 (see May 2, 2011). Furthermore, these same sources claim that the Shehzad lead is the real intelligence coup that led to the US raid. [News (Islamabad), 5/3/2011] An unnamed CIA official will later say, "It is quite possible a false or partial narrative was given of how bin Laden was found. … Intelligence can only function in silence and in the dark - protecting source and method is very important."

US intelligence begins intensively spying on the Abbottabad, Pakistan, compound where they strongly suspect Osama bin Laden is hiding (see August-September 2010). The compound was discovered on August 1, 2010 (see August 1, 2010). The Washington Post will later report that "virtually every category of [intelligence] collection in the US arsenal" is used, including satellite imagery and attempts to record voices inside the compound. CIA Safehouse - The efforts include a CIA safehouse located somewhere near the compound. Abbottabad is a tourist town with pleasant weather and colonial era charm, enabling strangers to easily come and go without attracting suspicion. The CIA takes advantage of that atmosphere to send CIA operatives and informants into the town to gather information. A former US official will say, "The [main compound building] was three stories high, and you could watch it from a variety of angles." Moving there "was his biggest mistake." [Washington Post, 5/6/2011] Escape Tunnel? - Analysts even study the water tables in the area in an attempt to figure out if bin Laden could have an escape tunnel. They conclude the soil is too wet to build a tunnel. [ABC News, 5/19/2011] Intelligence Allegedly Still Lacking - The surveillance is so extensive that in December 2010, the CIA has to secretly get Congress to reallocate tens of millions of dollars within various agency budgets to help fund it. But US intelligence is allegedly unable to get a clearly identifiable picture or voice recording of bin Laden before the raid that eventually kills him. The CIA safehouse is abandoned shortly after the May 2, 2011 raid that kills bin Laden (see May 2, 2011), since it has served its purpose. [Washington Post, 5/6/2011]

Abdul Hameed Sohail at his house in Abbottabad. [Source: Associated Press]On January 25, 2011, radical militant Umar Patek is arrested by Pakistani intelligence agents in a house in Abbottabad, Pakistan. Patek is Indonesia's most wanted terrorist suspect at the time, because he is the only major suspect wanted for the 2002 Bali bombing who has not yet been killed or captured. The US issued a $1 million bounty on him in 2005 (see October 6, 2005 and After). Patek has $1 million in cash on him when he is arrested, and he is shot in the leg during the arrest. News of Patek's arrest will become public in late March 2011 (see March 30, 2011). [Associated Press, 5/4/2011; Independent, 5/8/2011] The CIA worked with other countries to get Patek. But Patek stays imprisoned in Pakistan, unlike many other terrorist suspects captured in Pakistan who are deported to the US or elsewhere. [Associated Press, 3/30/2011] Is Patek There to See to Bin Laden? - After Osama bin Laden is killed in Abbottabad in May 2011 (see May 2, 2011), an unnamed senior US counterterrorism official will say that Patek's presence in the town "appears to have been pure coincidence" and there is no evidence that Patek was meeting with bin Laden there. However, Indonesian Defense Minister Purnomo Yusgiantoro will later say, "The information we have is that Umar Patek… was in Pakistan with his Filipino wife trying to meet Osama Bin Laden." Indonesian counterterrorism official Chairul Akbar will further explain that Patek was there to meet bin Laden and get his "support and protection." Akbar says that Patek "was instructed to go to Abbottabad to meet other militants." He will also claim that Patek may have met other al-Qaeda leaders in Pakistan, but he had not yet met with bin Laden before his arrest. [Associated Press, 5/4/2011] Patek's arrest takes place less than two miles away from where bin Laden is hiding. [Der Spiegel (Hamburg), 5/18/2011] Link to Bin Laden's Key Courier - The Independent will report after bin Laden's death that Patek met with Ibrahim Saeed Ahmed (a.k.a. Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti), an al-Qaeda courier who is living with bin Laden in an Abbottabad compound at the time. By this time, US intelligence is intensively monitoring the compound and everyone in it (see August 2010-May 2, 2011). However, the compound is not searched by the Pakistanis during the raid that got Patek, or in the months afterward. [Independent, 5/3/2011] Link to Another Al-Qaeda Courier - Additionally, two French men, Sharaf Deen and Zohaib Afza, are arrested in Lahore, Pakistan, on January 23, 2001. One of them was born in Pakistan and the other was a convert to Islam. A Pakistani named Tahir Shehzad is arrested with them. Investigators will later say that they trailed Shehzad from Abbottabad to Lahore, and that the French men planned to travel with Patek to Pakistan's tribal region where many al-Qaeda leaders are hiding. Shehzad gave up Patek's location, which led to his arrest two days later. Later press reports will call Shehzad an "alleged al-Qaeda facilitator" who worked as a clerk in the Abbottabad post office. Pakistani intelligence had Shehzad under surveillance since 2010, when he was seen in Abbottabad with an "Arab terror suspect" (see August 2010). [Associated Press, 4/14/2011; Associated Press, 4/14/2011; News (Islamabad), 5/3/2011] Waiting in Abbottabad for Someone? - Abbottabad resident Abdul Hameed Sohail will later tell the press that his son found Patek and Patek's wife cold and shivering in the street, and he ended up feeling sorry for them and let them stay in his house. They were given an upstairs room, and for nine days they rarely left the room or even ate the food that he left for them. Finally, Pakistani officials raided the house, shot Patek, and took him away. Sohail is not arrested. However, his son Kashif is arrested as an accomplice, and will still be in custody three months later. Patek and his wife had arrived in Pakistan five months earlier, traveling with forged passports, but it is not known where they were in Pakistan prior to Abbottabad. (Nor is it known what happens to his wife.) [Associated Press, 4/14/2011; News (Islamabad), 5/3/2011; Der Spiegel (Hamburg), 5/18/2011] CIA Tip Off - It also will later be reported that the CIA gave key information to Pakistan about Patek being in Pakistan, which led to his arrest. It may be that the CIA gave the information that Patek had gone to Pakistan five months earlier under another name. [Associated Press, 3/30/2011] In hindsight, this is interesting since the CIA is part of the surveillance of bin Laden's Abbottabad compound at the time, and news of Patek's arrest could have threatened the effort to find bin Laden.

Umar Patek with the Abu Sayyaf militant group in the Philippines, 2007. [Source: Associated Press]The Associated Press makes public for the first time the arrest of an Indonesian militant named Umar Patek in Abbottabad, Pakistan, on January 25, 2011. It will later turn out that Osama bin Laden is in hiding in Abbottabad at this time, and Patek may have been there to meet with him (see January 25, 2011). The Associated Press claims that the information was provided by Indonesian and Philippine intelligence officials one day earlier, and then it was confirmed by Pakistani officials before publication. [Associated Press, 3/30/2011] News reports two weeks later even reveal that an "alleged al-Qaeda facilitator" and Abbottabad resident named Tahir Shehzad was arrested as well, after he gave up Patek's location. Plus, it is reported that Shehzad had been monitored by Pakistani intelligence for a year before that. [Associated Press, 4/14/2011; Associated Press, 4/14/2011] Who Is to Blame? - Bin Laden does not immediately move from Abbottabad after these reports come out. After he is killed in May 2011 (see May 2, 2011), the Pakistani government will register displeasure that Australian Foreign Minister Kevin Rudd confirmed the information about the arrest on March 30. But Rudd's confirmation comes after the Associated Press article has been published. A Pakistani official will say that an attempt was made to keep the arrest a secret for fear that "subsequent leads would all go dead." No Reaction from Bin Laden? - The Australian will later note, "Many security experts have… expressed surprise that the leaking of Patek's arrest in Abbottabad did not trigger alarm bells in the bin Laden compound and prompt [bin Laden] to flee the area." [Australian, 5/6/2011]

Bin Laden's Abbottabad compound in flames. Apparently, the fires are mainly due to a crashed US helicopter. The picture comes from a neighbor's cell phone. [Source: Reuters] (click image to enlarge)Osama bin Laden is shot and killed inside a secured private residential compound in Abbottabad, Pakistan, according to US government sources. The operation is carried out by US Navy SEAL Team Six, the "Naval Special Warfare Development Group." The covert operation takes place at 1:00 a.m. local time (+4:30GMT). Two US helicopters from bases in Afghanistan fly low over the compound in Abbottabad, and 30 to 40 SEALs disembark and storm the compound. According to White House sources, bin Laden and at least four others are killed. The team is on the ground for only 40 minutes; most of that time is spent searching the compound for information about al-Qaeda and its plans. The helicopters are part of the 160th Special Ops Air Regiment, itself a detachment from the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC). The CIA oversees the operation, but the operation is tasked to, and carried out by, Special Forces. When President Obama announces bin Laden's death, he says: "His demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity. Justice has been done." Of the soldiers that eliminated bin Laden, and the other military personnel deployed in Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and elsewhere, Obama says: "We are reminded that we are fortunate to have Americans who dedicate their lives to protecting ours. We may not always know their names, we may not always know their stories, but they are there every day on the front lines of freedom and we are truly blessed." The members of Team Six are never identified, and it is unlikely their names will ever be made public. [CNN News, 5/1/2011; ABC News, 5/2/2011] Bin Laden is said to have ordered the 9/11 attacks, among other al-Qaeda strikes against American and Western targets. In a 1997 CNN interview, he declared "jihad," or "holy war," against the US. He had been number one on American military and law enforcement "Most Wanted" lists well before the 9/11 attacks.

Radio Free Europe reports that RAW, India's external intelligence agency, had long known Abbottabad, Pakistan, was a major al-Qaeda and Taliban operations center. RAW had put the town on a list of such operations centers prior to the US raid that killed Osama bin Laden on May 2, 2011 (see May 2, 2011). The article claims that "[t]he US was watching carefully as well." For instance, Abbottabad was used by Islamic militant groups to train new recruits for at least a decade (see July 2001). [Radio Free Europe, 5/6/2011] History of Militant Links - Several militant camps have existed near Abbottabad since the 1990s (see May 22, 2011). Key al-Qaeda leaders lived in the town around 2004, and US intelligence was aware of this (see 2004 and After April 2004). An important Indonesian militant leader, Umar Patek, was arrested in Abbottabad in January 2011 (see January 25, 2011).
One day after bin Laden's death, neighbors told the Wall Street Journal that there had been a recent influx of suspicious Arabs in the town. [Wall Street Journal, 5/3/2011] Completely Contradictory Accounts - On May 4, an unnamed senior US official told the Wall Street Journal that Abbottabad was "a place we always looked" because "we always figured that Osama bin Laden would not be in a cave." [Wall Street Journal, 5/4/2011] Yet, on May 5, an unnamed former US intelligence official involved in trying to find bin Laden told the Washington Post, "Abbottabad is not a place where Islamic extremists went, because it wasn't a stronghold." The official added that when analysts considered likely locations for him, "Abbottabad wouldn't be on that list." [Washington Post, 5/6/2011]

Meet Tessa Puma: a talented and inspiring dancer who won't let anything stand in her way!
Tessa has always loved dancing more than anything in the world. She began taking dancing classes when she was a toddler, and by the time she was five years old, she was winning dance competitions.
When Tessa was six, she got sick. Her parents thought it was the flu at first, but it turned out to be a potentially fatal infection.
Tessa's parents rushed her to the hospital, but the infection was already spreading. Within 15 hours, it had spread through the whole left side of her body. The doctors had to amputate her left leg, and they also had to give her skin grafts. The doctors gave Tessa a 20 percent chance of survival.
Thankfully, Tessa pulled through. After two-and-a-months in the hospital, Tessa was able to go home.
Tessa's parents simply hoped she would be able to walk again one day, but Tessa had bigger dreams: she was going to dance again.
"I didn't think she was ever going to be able to walk," Tessa's dad Chris Reid told News 5 Cleveland.
Tessa's dad Chris Reid worried that Tessa would have to spend her life in a wheelchair, but she quickly defied expectations. At breakneck speed, Tessa moved from a wheelchair to a walker to a cane. All the while, the doctors at Hanger Clinic worked with her to find a prosthetic that would work for needs.
The doctors wanted to help Tessa dance again, and so they created a prosthetic she could move in. They also decorated it with mermaid scales—perfect for a little girl who loved bright colors.
"[The prosthetic leg] was really hard to get used to," Tessa said. "But the more and more I did it, it got easier."
Learning to dance was extremely difficult and painful, but Tessa was determined. Her dance teacher said the amputated leg didn't slow the little girl down at all!
Tessa was also an accomplished gymnast before she lost her leg, and she decided she also didn't want to give that up. With lots of hard work, Tessa learned how to do amazing back handsprings.
In her spare time, Tessa also plays softball. This little girl has amazing amounts of energy!
"Never give up," Tessa told CBS News.
About a year-and-a-half after losing her leg, Tessa won a national dance competition. The young dancer has some incredible skills!
Tessa also knows exactly what she wants to do when she grows up:
"Be a dance teacher," she said.
Tessa's mom Tina shares videos and photos of her daughter's dance routines on her Facebook page. These photos show what an amazing dancer Tessa is. Check out this amazing handstand!
Tessa is a great dancer with a truly inspiring story. If you want to learn more about Tessa, check out the video below.

(CNN) - One week ago Joe Crain, the morning meteorologist at WICS in Springfield, Illinois, called out station management for mandating over-the-top "Code Red" weather alerts.
Now Crain is officially out of a job.
A spokesman for the station's parent, Sinclair Broadcast Group, confirmed Wednesday night that "Joe was let go."
The company declined to comment further to CNN Business.
But Crain's exit caps a week of controversy for the station and its parent company, which has repeatedly come under scrutiny for its editorial choices.
Crain's June 5 commentary about the station's "Code Red" warnings went viral — much to the dismay of Sinclair executives.
"We want you to know it's not us," Crain told viewers, blaming "corporate" for the frightening alerts.
Crain was noticeably absent from the station's airwaves after his monologue. Viewers and advertisers supported him en masse, with many expressing concern that he might lose his job. One week later, "people are still livid" in the community, a Sinclair source said on Wednesday.
WICS tried to assuage the concerns by dropping the "Code Red" branding and replacing it with "Weather Warn," the same jargon that other Sinclair stations use. The change was announced on Monday.
Crain has declined to comment on his status, and he did not respond to a request for comment after Sinclair confirmed his departure on Wednesday evening.
But the writing was on the proverbial wall when Sinclair posted a job listing for a WICS morning meteorologist on Tuesday.

Nature is the Source of our Photographic Inspiration
Nature inspires us to create. We continue to be amazed by the richness of the landscapes surrounding us when we walk, as well as the diversity of the seascapes enveloping us when we dive. For us, it is through observation, appreciation, and respect for the wonders of nature that enables us to view each morning as the beginning of the first day of the rest of our lives.
We believe that contemplation of the beauties of nature has the power to nourish and unify all human beings. We strive to create artistic photographs that connect us to the emotions and perceptions that cannot be regularly accessed in our daily lives.
Inspired by the Wonders of Nature
It is in the contemplation of nature that we find the inspiration to create our photographs.
For us, photography is first and foremost, a process of research and discovery.
- It is the search for the right scene for our camera to record.
- It is the discovery of a magical moment where we look at the captured scene on a camera, or even better, on a computer screen. It is at this precise moment, when the picture appears to us, that we feel true emotion, which is a gift of photography.
When we look at our photographs on a screen or on paper, our eyes are focused on the essentials; for example, the framing we have chosen. Our eyes are no longer disturbed by the elements outside of the scene.
It is at this precise moment that we can measure the beauty of nature's blessings to us.
It is also at this moment that we measure the fragility of nature. It shows us our need to respect and nourish it.
This is how we envision our passion for the wonders of nature.
Creating Extraordinary with Ordinary
In our photographs of nature, we always strive to show the ordinary in an extraordinary way.
We are sure that the extraordinary can be present in our garden. We do not have to travel far to observe and photograph the wonders of nature.
The inspiration sometimes stems from a simple landscape or a common animal. All it takes for us to capture the extraordinary is a tree, a forest, or a meadow where illumination occurs. It is enough for an ordinary animal to have an expression or an evocative attitude. It only takes a single magical moment to inspire us.
We do not have to go far. We merely need to know how to look and dream, so that our imagination might paint in our minds the photo we wish to create.
To be inspired by nature, you simply need to know how to appreciate life every day. We usually say that every morning must be tasted with delight and that it is the beginning of a new life.
We believe that it is not possible to magnify something we do not believe in. Even if the inspiration comes from the observation of the wonders of nature, we also look for it in other artistic forms. We love painting, sculpture, drawing, architecture, and music. We seek ideas to express ourselves in all forms of art.
Artists have a gift. If they exercise it, then we are inspired by them.
Creating Artistic Photographic of Nature
Our compositions, our framings, and each photographic element we choose means something. We never leave anything to chance. Everything we build has meaning. Everything must be scrutinized. Colors, gradients, shapes, and symbolism affect not only the conscious but also the subconscious.
Carefully choosing the elements to trigger reactions in the subconscious can generate powerful responses to our photographs. It is for this reason that we observe nature. We strive to appeal to the essence of our viewers, to affect their life force within.
The creation of a beautiful photographic work of nature requires vast preparation, whether in the field or during the developmental phase. We study light, colors, the foreground, the background, and the negative space. Once we mentally determine all the photographic elements to relate to, we focus on determining the reinforced elements to improve the reading of the image. We also look for the attributes of each element. Then we carefully choose the point of view to obtain the best composition and the most effective framing to convey our message.
Photography requires patience and time. Only preparation, waiting, and self-sacrifice can produce an interesting creative result.
To create a photographic work that will interest at least a few people is a privilege and an honor for us.
Nature allows us to create symbolic works. We like to associate anthropomorphic symbols with the scenes we photograph. Nature is not only aesthetic, but it becomes a medium for transmitting messages.
Simplicity is at the Heart of Our Work
We like simplicity in our photographs. Nature is simple. She is direct. It is for this reason that we do not like to use complicated material when setting up our many assistants for a scene.
We like ethereal, dreamlike, and evocative atmospheres with a strong symbolic power. We always choose our scenes as they arise. We enjoy being surprised. Then we capture the long-awaited moment.
A Long-term Job
It is not enough to be inspired by the wonders of nature when creating interesting photographic works. This is a necessary condition, but it is not enough.
Our artistic work is based on the recognition of places, the knowledge of animal behaviors, and the control of light. But it is also based on repetition. Nature is changing. No scene is ever the same twice. Before creating a good artistic photo, we often travel to the same location again and again.
We used to say that we only photograph well that which we know well. A photographic work is never the result of chance. We strive to capture unusual and unique scenes from those already made by other photographers. We enjoy presenting images in a new perspective. Often, we are lucky. But we are opportunists. We try to always create the necessary conditions for luck to arise. We resolve to meet fortune in an open surrounding. We often say that without luck, we would not have encountered the success we know today.
Technique is Necessary
Technique is a necessary element to create photographic art works of nature. But it is not enough. When customers buy our works to hang on walls, they are primarily affected by the emotions they feel watching them.
Each art work meets its audience. Each person is affected differently. It's not the technique that interests buyers. They do not dwell on the choice of depth of field or the management of negative space. Only the emotional side makes them buy the art print.
It took a lot of time and experience for us to understand that nature was our source of inspiration. We spent a lot of time and energy to define our creative approach. Nature gave us maturity and the experience to understand why we are on the earth.
Nature has provided us with the meaning to our life. It is for this reason that in our photos, our essential take-away is the meaning we give to our viewers. This is more important than the technique. That is what makes our photographs exceptional.
The Foundations of Our Life
The contemplation of nature has not only inspired us with our photographic art works but has allowed us to build the true foundations of our existence. Our values come from our observations and the symbiosis we feel when we contemplate the landscape or observe the animal world on land or underwater.
By photographing nature, we learned the basics. Everything is in our garden. We only need to know how to look and appreciate what we observe through the lens of a camera. We know how to extract the important from any situation or scene that may arise. It is not necessary to go to the end of the world to find the extraordinary, it can be found in the ordinary.
This is also true for the relationships we have with other people. We have learned to be patient, to listen, and to develop empathy. We have learned how to recognize when our relationships are sincere and true. Sometimes, the most extraordinary of people may at first appear to be ordinary.
We owe everything to nature.

SAN DIEGO — The average price of a gallon of self-serve regular gasoline in San Diego County rose nine-tenths of a cent Friday to $3.702, its highest amount since Aug. 20, 2015.
The average price has risen 10 of the past 11 days, rising 5.9 cents, including seven-tenths of a cent on Thursday, according to figures from the AAA and Oil Price Information Service.
The average price is 4 cents more than one week ago, 14.9 cents higher than one month ago and 72.1 cents greater than one year ago. It has risen 58 cents since the start of the year.
"Gasoline prices in Southern California continue a steady march upward which is typical for spring," said Jeffrey Spring, the Automobile Club of Southern California's corporate communications manager.
"We've seen some fluctuations on the wholesale market because of a refinery maintenance issue in Southern California. That, combined with oil prices increasing, seems to be enough to continue pushing prices up."

Mars City Shadowrun
Former Deus node, now Cereus. Connection ?
A young girl trapped in the QZ. Rescued by the team at Fenway, she seems to have lost her sole caregiver in the outbreak, so the team has put her in the hands of Smedley Pembrenton III to watch over and train to survive. She is a latent technomancer, somewhat skilled but totally untrained. She took a shine to Chessick Allens-Whitehill and Senk Gethin especially, and seems a bit weirded out by Christopher Toff.
As it turns out (details in Boston Part 14) she was actually carrying a sizable portion of Deus in a biological storage unit in her brain, which seemingly explains her skill at hacking, and her ability to survive the massive nanite dose she likely sustained at Fenway.
After Deus vacated the premises, they sold the body to Cereus, as it can obviously handle having an AI inside it.

Conversational Commerce in Retail Delivers Personalized Customer Experiences in Context
September 16, 2016 | Written by: Prakash Mohapatra
Categorized: eCommerce & Merchandising | Events
Share this post:
We all need personal attention–from parents as son or daughter in family, from teachers as a student, from managers as an employee. I know I definitely get rattled when I don't get it, and if anybody addresses me or sends any communication without trying to understand my likes or dislikes, it's bothersome. Similarly, as a consumer, I always expect personal attention from my favorite brand or retailer, whether I am trying to purchase anything from their eCommerce site or through their mobile application or while in their store. I relate to the research that shows 70% of the consumers are willing to share their locations and other data for clear benefit from their brand. In fact, when I use a favorite brand's mobile application or buy anything from their website, they have my credentials. They also know what I intend to buy, what category of product, what size or color of product I am looking for, and they have my past purchase and browsing history. After having so much of "my data," I still get general or unrelated communications from my brand! This irritates me.
Retailers are swimming in data about their consumers, but they're drowning in it. They don't know what to do with it. On top of that, there are 2.5 billion active Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and YouTube accounts that are being constantly used by consumers to share their views and feedback on numerous brands and products that they consume every day–80% of which is unstructured or "dark," as no current retail system can analyze all data together in context. Retailers today need cognitive systems that can understand the correlation between different data sources, learn and reason the data patterns in the context of business, and deliver insights through natural language interactions, just like humans do.
You may be wondering is there are live examples of such systems today? Yes, the artificial-intelligence-based cognitive systems like IBM Watson are currently helping retailers deliver hyper-personalized shopping experiences through "conversational commerce." Conversational commerce uses technologies consumers enjoy using–such as chat, messaging and natural-language interfaces–blending them with artificial intelligence, so that people can interact with brands or services through bots. Of course, these don't replace humans, but bots can handle discovery questions, offer solutions, handle payments, ensuring delivery and personalized customer service. It makes it simple for companies to appeal to customers and for customers to make purchases.
IBM Watson capabilities like IBM Dialog services, along with other cognitive capabilities, can help retailers design chat bots that can interact with consumers just like humans starting from purchase decision making to the actual purchase–mapping the entire path to purchase cycle. For example, a few of the leading retailers like 1-800-Flowers and North Face are already delivering on that promise. For example, 1-800-Flowers used IBM Watson-powered digital gift concierge uses cognitive capabilities to tailor product suggestions for shoppers. Similarly North Face (see video below) uses IBM Watson as an online recommendation engine, a "personal shopper" that lets the customers describe their needs, enabling the tool to quickly provide the exact product they desire. Hilton hotel introduced recently the world's first Watson-enabled hotel concierge robot "Connie" (see video below) for personalized customer interactions.
Join us at IBM World of Watson for many more real-life examples of artificial intelligence in action today! You'll also hear from your industry peers about how they are using artificial intelligence, machine learning and overall cognitive system to unleash the power of digital technologies. I hope to see you there, but in the mean, you can also connect me through my twitter, @pk_mohapatra, for updates.

What an amazing year for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, one million times thank you to each and every one of my supporters! I cannot even begin to find the words to express how fortunate and humbled I am by everyone's support. Each Like, comment, retweet, purchase, and referral helps so much. You guys have helped me so much and I am forever grateful. But the year isn't over? Well yes and no, as you can tell that I am not so great at blogging consistently. Will I get better? Definitely maybe.
But yes 2018 is over in the sense that the art fair season is winding down and we could see snow in the next few weeks. Yikes! My art fair tour was amazing and exhausting. I got to meet a lot of really cool people and make some new friends. I got to see areas I may have never gone to had it not been for the art fairs. It was a great experience and good for learning my market and helping me know how to price my works. One take away is next year I only plan to do 5 instead of 8. One goal is to have one of the art fairs be farther away for 2019. Yes I have submitted a few applications already.
What a better way to end the season but to be a part of Artprize 10! This has been a goal to be a part of this for six years now, and last year I worked up the nerve to make it a goal for this year. So I am in Artprize 2018 at One Trick Pony. So thank you to anyone and everyone who is checking out my work down there and voting for me. Big thank you to One Trick Pony for requesting me to be at their venue, very cool spot to be at.
With high hopes of a few more decent sales in the next two months. I plan to reinvest into some mega canvas to experiment with and work my way towards my 2019 goal. What is my 2019 goal? Well I stopped by a few amazing galleries this year and my hopes are to expand into some of these better known and beautiful spaces. One promising gallery was Chicago Art Source. I had stopped in there and had a nice quick conversation with one of the curators who explained their process better and showed me what they were looking for. They are able to move jumbo paintings in their location. They were positive about my style and work on my website and encouraged me to do some large scale work and apply to be an affiliate. So my goal is to get into their affiliate artist library and push to be in one of their shows around this time next year. I also hope to expand my network of galleries to broaden my exposure.
I also plan to do some more videos, do some live classes, and continue to hunt for studio space. Well that is all for now, stay tuned into my social channels to see what I am working on next! Please comment below on topics you wish for me to discuss more or clarify. Hit the contact me tab if you have an idea, want a commissioned piece, or want to have coffee sometime soon!
Thanks again everyone,
Chaotic Mike

Yes folks, I made my first wikipedia edit the other day. I do not know if it was all that good of an edit, but it was something. :)
So what did I change? Well, on Wikipedia's List of Jabber Clients they had put that Spark and TipicIM were both commercial clients, but that just isn't true. They are actually freeware, so I made the appropriate change.
I wonder how long it will take for someone else to copmlain that I am wrong. :p Of course, I did also modify the Spark URL.

A notional point on the UK Transco pipeline through which all gas in the country is deemed to flow. Used as the point of reference for UK gas pricing.
Canadian regulatory body that oversees inter-provincial gas trade and pipelines. Located in Alberta.
Natural gas in place in a producing reservoir when the reservoir is converted into a gas-storage reservoir.
A naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon compounds and small quantities of various non-hydrocarbons existing in the gaseous phase or in solution with crude oil in natural underground reservoirs at reservoir conditions. The principal hydrocarbons usually contained in the mixture are methane, ethane, propane, butanes, and pentanes. Typical non-hydrocarbon bases that may be present in reservoir natural gas are carbon dioxide, helium, hydrogen sulphide, and nitrogen. Under reservoir conditions, natural gas and the liquefiable portions thereof occur either in a single gaseous phase in the reservoir or in solution with crude oil and are not distinguishable at that time as separate substances. The principal constituent is methane (CH4) and is the simplest of hydrocarbons.
The amount of thermal energy released by the complete combustion of 1 cf of natural gas. Higher Heating Value (HHV) or Gross Heating Value (GHV) assumes that the water vapour produced in the combustion process is condensed to liquid. Net Heating Value (NHV) assumes the vapour produced in the combustion process stays in the gaseous phase.
Liquid hydrocarbons, such as ethane, propane, butane, pentane and natural gasoline, extracted from field gas.
1) the purification of field gas at gas-processing plants (or gas plants), or the fractionation of mixed natural gas liquids (NGLs) to natural gas products to meet specifications for use as pipeline quality gas. Gas processing includes removing liquids, solids, and vapours, absorbing impurities and odourising; 2) the process of separating NGLs by absorption, adsorption, refrigeration or cryogenics from a stream of natural gas.
A natural gas producer is generally involved in exploration, drilling and refinement of natural gas.
An estimate of the amount of natural gas available, based on the combination of reserves, contingent resources and prospective resources. Reserves may include proved, probable and possible commercial reserves. Contingent resources include recoverable quantities from known accumulations that are not commercial. Prospective resources are those quantities of petroleum that are estimated to be recoverable from undiscovered accumulations.
A means of providing a reserve of natural gas supplies to meet the seasonal demands of natural gas customers.
The pipeline transportation system used to accept and transport natural gas.
The number of tonnes of cargo that a vessel can carry when loaded in salt water to her summer freeboard marks. Also called cargo-carrying capacity, cargo deadweight and useful deadweight.
Total produced natural gas times net working interest in natural gas production.
The carrying capacity of vessels as prescribed by government regulations and determined by measuring the cubic contents of the space intended for revenue earning.
The effective price to the producer of natural gas at a defined point, based on the market price for the natural gas less the charges for delivering the natural gas from the defined point to market.
In North America, an order slip to an interstate pipeline, stating the volume of gas a supplier seeks to transport over a fixed period of time. Most nominations are now submitted electronically through pipeline Electronic Bulletin Board/Internet websites.
Free natural gas not in contact with, or dissolved in, crude oil in a reservoir. LNG projects require large, proved reserves of non-associated gas to insure supply over long contract terms.
Purchase of a commodity such as natural gas on an as-available basis.
A pipeline delivery service that allows customers to receive gas on demand without making prior nominations to meet peak service needs and without paying daily balancing and scheduling penalties.
A contractual breach.

The British and Irish Lions rugby replacements for the injured Jerry Flannery and Leigh Halfpenny are expected to be named today.
Lions coach Ian McGeechan delayed his decisions on Thursday.
Ireland hooker Flannery chipped a bone in his left elbow in training on Wednesday and a scan revealed he will need surgery, ending his first Lions tour of South Africa.
He's the third Ireland player from a record 14 selected to miss the trip, after Munster mates Tomas O'Leary (broken ankle) and Alan Quinlan (suspended).
Ireland backup Rory Best and Scotland's Ross Ford were in line to replace Flannery.
Wales winger Halfpenny remained in the Lions squad but he was told to stay home for intensive treatment on a thigh injury. He will miss leaving with the squad on Sunday but will be expected to meet them in South Africa in two weeks.
As cover for Halfpenny, McGeechan was considering England fullback Delon Armitage and Scotland's Chris Paterson and Wales' James Hook.

The Supreme Court on Friday refused to grant bail to Sadhvi Pragya Singh Thakur, who is facing charges under MCOCA for her alleged involvement in the 2008 Malegaon bomb blast case.
Dismissing her bail plea, a bench of justices J M Panchal and H L Gokhale said, "There is no merit in the petition".
The bench passed the order on a petition filed by Thakur contending that Maharashtra's Anti-Terrorist Squad (ATS) had failed to file the charge sheet against her within the mandatory 90 days of her arrest on 23rd October 2008.Counsel for Thakur had further pleaded with the court to grant her bail, saying she had been subjected to "harassment, physical torture and verbal abuse" by the ATS squad during her "illegal" custody from 10th October 2008 onwards.
The Maharashtra government had, however, told the court that Thakur was arrested on 23rd October and produced before a magistrate as required under the law.
The bench had reserved its order on 1st September after hearing all the parties, including Maharashtra government which opposed the bail plea.
Seven people were killed in a bomb blast on 29th September 2008, at Malegaon, a communally-sensitive textile town in Nasik district of Maharashtra.
The probe into the blast had brought into focus the alleged involvement of some right-wing Hindu groups.

This holiday season, give toys that teach as well as entertain.
Check out our list of top toys for all ages and stages!
By Dwain Hebda
Looking for that perfect toy for the wee ones on your list this holiday season? We surveyed some local child development specialists as well as "Best Of" toy rankings to find toys and games that help children learn and grow while they're playing.
A. Critter Clinic Toy Vet Play Set
Recommended ages: 2 to 6
Why we love it: This toy provides opportunities for imaginative play and developing fine motor skills. It also helps with language concepts such as naming animals, producing animal sounds and matching/naming colors.
B. Melissa & Doug Shape Sorting Cube
Recommended ages: 2-4 years
Why we love it: Shape sorting and stacking games are experts' favorites for toddlers. Not only do they develop fine motors skills, but color and shape recognition, sorting and problem-solving skills. This model offers solid wood construction and bright, non-toxic colored shapes.
C. Fisher Price Chatter Telephone
Recommended ages: 1 to 3
Why we love it: Few toys get it right like the smiling rotary dial telephone that has entertained generations of youngsters. Pull it along by its string and listen to it chatter and watch the eyes move – Fisher Price has modernized the look a bit, but it's still captivating fun for toddlers.
D. Play-Doh
Recommended ages: 3 and up
Why we love it: Drawn from the way-back machine, Play-Doh still ranks very high with educators who love the imagination-inducing nature of the colorful globs of moldable dough. There are plenty of themed kits that you can buy, but all you really need is the starter pack to keep little ones entertained.
E. Fisher-Price Think & Learn Code-a-Pillar
Recommended for ages 3 to 6
Why we love it: It's never too early to learn coding, as this toy attests for preschoolers. By rearranging the sequence of the caterpillar's segments, kids learn which sequences produce what movement.
F. Educational Insights Board Games
Recommended ages: 3 and up
Why we love it: Early childhood occupational therapists rave about these games and their ability to develop fine motor, visual and sensory processing and modulation skills. Titles include "The Sneaky Snacky Squirrel," "Shelby's Snack Shack," "Frankie's Food Truck Fiasco," "Koala Kapers," and "Pancake Pileup."
G. Frozen Science Kit
Recommended ages: 4 and up
Why we love it: Science kits are really in demand and Frozen Science delivers more than 15 experiments for under $20. Utilizing its Insta-Snow polymer, kids get all the fun of playing in the snow without the frostbite. Good Housekeeping included the kit in its 2016 toy awards
H. Alex Toys Button Art
Recommended ages: 18 months and up
Why we love it: Designed for preschoolers to develop hand-eye coordination, fine motor skills and creative thinking, the toy allows children to match and snap chunky buttons to complete the pictures. It's a great toy to stimulate the imagination of your little artist.
I. Kerplunk
Recommended ages: 5-8 and up
Why we love it: Old-school games are back in a big way (Did they ever go away?). Kerplunk and its co-horts Battleship, Operation and Connect Four all have stood the test of time for the way they develop strategic thinking and problem solving to fuel your family game night.
J. Cranium Scribblish
Recommended ages: 8 and up
Why we love it: Remember the game "telephone" you played as a kid? This follows the same premise, except instead of whispering something from one person to the next, each player completes a series of drawings and captions. Artistic ability is not a priority; quick, creative thought is.
K. Hexbug Vex Zip Flyer
Recommended ages: 8 and up
Why we love it: A 2017 Toy of the Year finalist, this kit provides more than 100 snap-together pieces to build the launcher and then allows for sending the zip flyers up to 30 feet in the air. A great toy for parent-child time, too.
L. Mobi Math Tiles Game
Recommended ages: 6 and up
Why we love it: Crossword games have been around a long time, but Mobi takes the concept and applies it to mathematics. Players try to arrange their numeric and mathematical symbol tiles into equations. It's a great game that challenges all ages.
M. Dig it Up! Discovery Kit
Recommended ages: 8 and up
Why we love it: This popular series invites budding paleontologists to dig up the fossils hidden in the prehistoric rock. There are several kits to choose from; for slightly older children, look for the T-Rex version. Once the kiddos dig up the bones, they can reconstruct the skeleton.
N. Don't Spill the Beans
Recommended ages: 3-4 and up
Why we love it: Another throwback game which – like its cousins Ants in the Pants, Lite Brite and Hungry Hungry Hippo – develops fine motor coordination. They're all as much fun as you remember, too.
O. Press Here the Game
Recommended ages: 3 and up
Why we love it: Based on the New York Times best seller, the game revolves around completing sequences of colored game pieces. Easy enough for a toddler, yet complex enough to challenge teens' and adults' decision-making and critical thinking skills, it's a game they'll never outgrow.

Halloween Costume Donations
Volunteers at the Jefferson City Samaritan Center are super heroes in their own way. The center is providing Halloween costumes this fall to needy families.
The costumes are for infants all the way up to 13 year old kids.
Bill Case started donating costumes in 1999.
"It really is a wonderful time. And the Samaritan Center, this is great because they have people donating these costumes and these small kids will just have a ball. I mean, it's really, really fun," said Case.
St. Martin's Catholic School is also doing its part to contribute. Students can donate costumes or even donate large bags of candy.
"They know how important it is to dress up and have fun. And they want to share that with other kids," said school teacher Susan Meller. "They want them to be able to enjoy the trick or treat parties and going trick or treating. And having a costume is a really big deal for kids." Employees at the center are happy about the turnout so far, but need the costumes to be a little more balanced.
Every Halloween you can count on seeing a classic Batman costume. Unfortunately, the famous superhero is not the first costume choice for all children. The center has plenty of costumes for boys, but is desperate need for more costumes for little girls.
"We really need costumes. They run about $10. The ones we're giving away. And we really need girls. We have lots of guys out there. Ninjas, and Turles, and Batman, and Superman, but the girls run out. So we really need everyone's help for that," said Marlyn Defeo Volunteer Executive Director.
The Samaritan Center will be giving out costumes as long as supplies last.

Hyperhidrosis - Anti-Sweating Botox® (Botulinum toxin) injections
Men are increasingly asking for anti-sweat procedures using Botox® to freeze the sweat glans and stop perspiration. For many men, hyperhidrosis adds an extra level of stress to the daily commute, meetings and their personal and working relationships. Botox® offers a practical, cost effective solution and produces excellent results.
Hyperhidrosis (excessive sweating) is a very common condition, which has two main types. Focal hyperhydrosis is the more common type and involves excessive sweating on the feet, hands, armpits and occasionally, the face. Generalised hyperhidrosis is less common.
Excessive sweating affects about 4% of the western population; it often interferes with the individual's life by causing psychological problems, such as cold and clammy hands, dehydration, and skin infections secondary to maceration of the skin, as well as emotional consequences due to embarassment, limiting daily activities, interfering with interpersonal relationships, necessitating frequent changes of clothes, etc.
The benefits of Botox® (botulinum toxin) injections
Treatment for hyperhidrosis by Botulinum Toxin can offer a life-changing solution for patients. By injecting low doses of Botox® into the underarm, for example, it can reduce the
transition of impulses and thus sweating activity by temporarily blocking the nerves that stimulate sweating for three to eight months.
Botox® injections offer a safe, approved and non-surgical solution to the hyperhidrosis. Botox® is a temporary solution and its effects are fully reversible. Botox® injections are quick and convenient to administer (typically taking 20 minutes) and Bellissima offers some of the most competitive Botox® prices.
How does Botox® for hyperhidrosis work?
Botox® for hyperhidrosis works by preventing the tiny muscles around the sweat glands from contracting and producing sweat.
What does the treatment involve?
After a consultation, numbing cream is applied to the area to be treated (this area may need to be mapped out using iodine solution and corn flour in certain cases). A series of injection about one centimetre apart are injected into this area, followed by anti-bruising cream.
What are the side effects?
It is common to have small raised bumps of skin at the injection site; these may be slightly red and will go down about 20 minutes after the treatment (please feel free to wait in our waiting room enjoying a cup of tea until these go down!).
Bruising at the injection site may occasionally occur; this will resolve quickly.
It is quite common to experience a mild headache after Botox® injection to the face. This can be easily treated with over-the-counter painkillers.
What are the complications?
Complications are unlikely. However, sometimes there may be patchy results and in extremely rare cases, there has been a migration of the product into surrounding muscles with resulting arm weakness.
What should I do or not do following the treatment?
For the next four to six hours, do not rub or massage the area, avoid strenuous exercise, avoid hot baths, showers or saunas, do not lie flat and avoid alcohol.

Creating a Culture of Quality/
Ashwin Srinivasan, managing director, and Bryan Kurey, senior director at CEB, share the results of a study on quality and working with a bias towards it in Harvard Business Review:
For two years CEB has conducted research exploring how companies can create a culture in which employees "live" quality in all their actions—where they are passionate about quality as a personal value rather than simply obeying an edict from on high. We define a "true culture of quality" as an environment in which employees not only follow quality guidelines but also consistently see others taking quality-focused actions, hear others talking about quality, and feel quality all around them.
We interviewed the quality function leaders at more than 60 multinational corporations, conducted an extensive review of academic and practitioner research, and surveyed more than 850 employees in a range of functions and industries and at all levels of seniority. Some of what we learned surprised us. Most notably, many of the traditional strategies used to increase quality—monetary incentives, training, and sharing of best practices, for instance—have little effect. Instead, we found, companies that take a grassroots, peer-driven approach develop a culture of quality, resulting in employees who make fewer mistakes—and the companies spend far less time and money correcting mistakes.
The whole article reminds me of something Luke Sullivan shared several years ago on his blog concerning making things with subliminal quality built-in.

Most are members of the Pine Family, including pines, spruces, first and hemlocks, but not all conifers are evergreens. Notable exceptions are larches, dawn redwoods, and bald-cypresses, which drop their needles in the Fall, and ginkgoes, the only conifers without needles. The Pinetum is located north of the Rhododendron display along Pinetum Drive.

Slackware filesystem builder for User-mode Linux
Overview Download Contributions About
mkuml is a script that can automatically create Slackware file system images for use with User-mode Linux and Xen. You have to run it as root and you need a copy of the Slackware packages that you want to install.
mkuml uses the original Slackware package tools (i.e. installpkg) to install software into the file system image. However, I managed to run it also on Debian systems by copying installpkg and tar-1.13 from a Slackware system. It can probably be run on even more Linux distros.
Running ReSoA in a Slackware UML describes the individual steps needed to create Slackware file system images. It targets a special application, however, contains mainly general information.
Here is the original announcement on usermodelinux.org: Slackware filesystem builder. It's seems to be useful for the Xen community as well: How to Install Slackware Linux to a DomainU.
Before running mkuml, you should read and edit the first part of mkuml.sh. At least, check that the location of your Slackware package repository is in SLACKWARE_DIRS, and adjust the package list in install().
Note: You can easily download the Slackware package repository using the included slaksync script. Another script, kernel-get can help you downloading kernel sources from kernel.org. If you like the way these scripts work, you might also be interested in slacker, a set of scripts that help you keep the Slackware installation up-to-date.
You can send me additions, fixes or changes. I will then make them available here for others. You can also send me your package lists with a short note for which Slackware version it is and what type of software is included.
The software is provided as is without any warranty. Comments, feedback and donations are welcome: tp at fonz.de

text: The purpose of this GSoC project will be to modernize Pattern, a Python library for machine learning, natural language processing (NLP) and web mining. A substantial part of this undertaking is to port a majority of the code base to Python 3. This involves porting the individual modules and sub–modules piece by piece, where the whole process will be guided by unit tests. In the beginning, I will remove all tests from the pipeline that do not pass for Python 3 and take this pared–down code base as a starting point, porting parts of the code and putting the respective unit tests back in as I go along. Missing unit tests must be added before moving on. Since porting Python 2 code to Python 3 code is a standard problem for the Python community, there are many different tools available that can help in this regard. In addition to that, I'd like to extend this project to a bit of a Hausmeister project (housekeeping for Pattern), and optimize/modernize the code base in terms of execution speed, memory usage and documentation.

NEW ORLEANS ― Heartbreak returned to southeast Louisiana Tuesday as seven tornadoes laid waste to the area, including parts of New Orleans that had already seen mass destruction during Hurricane Katrina.
Louisiana Gov. John Bel Edwards (D) declared a state of emergency after tornadoes downed power lines, destroyed homes and other structures, and sent debris flying through the southeastern part of the state. At least 20 people were injured statewide and some 15,000 customers lost power in and around New Orleans.
Sharon Walter's 84-year-old mother, Joyce, was driving to her home when a wood plank ripped through her side window and into the dash, hitting her in the head.
When Joyce got to her home, the windows all began to shatter from the gusting winds. Walter came to help her mother.
"My mom has here during Katrina," Walter told HuffPost. "She did not get flooded, but the wind took the roof off. It took years to get the house back to how it was before the tornado. In fact, my husband and I just put this porch roof on less than a month ago."
Walter's mother is safe but "devastated," she said.
"Everything is hitting her," Walter said. "She just had a bad car accident and had just got her car back, and now this happens. We're trying to clean up [her house] as much as possible to help her state of mind. She's going through a lot of emotions."
The 9th Ward of New Orleans, which was heavily flooded during Katrina, saw some of the worst damage, according to The Associated Press.
At least seven homes were damaged in Livingston Parish northwest of New Orleans, according to Fox News. Severe weather also struck Mississippi and Alabama as several storm fronts opened up.
This post has been updated with the experiences of Sharon Walter and her mother.

Do birth control pills help in controlling acne?

An outbreak of a pimple is perceived as a cause of embarrassment and concern as it gives rise to skin damage. Coming to the cause of acne, it generally occurs due to excess oil (sebum) production. The oil on your skin combined with dead skin cells, blocks your skin pores, thereby promoting bacteria growth and causing acne breakouts.
The use of birth control pills to cure acne is usually recommended when topical medications and oral antibiotics don't help in clearing up the problem.
Here's how they work on acne.

Possessing properties that can regulate your hormone production, birth control pills contain the two hormones that your body naturally makes – oestrogen and progesterone. Present in different amounts in the pills, they act by lowering the amount of androgens (male sex hormones, which give rise to excessive sebum production) produced by your body. As a result, with a reduction in sebum production, there is also a decrease in the breakout of acne on your skin. However, you shouldn't expect instant results from their use.

Many a times, birth control pills can cause a flare-up of the problem before it can be contained. This can result in your acne getting worse before getting better.
Although birth control pills can help to control acne, it's still important to maintain a proper skincare routine comprising of washing, toning and moisturising for a healthy and glowing skin.

Camera Tracking - Chapter 1: our robot returns
Welcome to the third chapter of our story about giant scene setup.
Today, we'll sidetrack off our main Giant Scene story-line, and discuss a camera tracking / compositing project. Although seemingly very different, there are many similarities in approach between the two projects.
In our new video, we placed a 3d flying robot in a video, shot with an iPhone, in our office. Check it out:
Last year, we were fortunate enough to team up with our clients on a very similar 3d compositing project. Artie was launched to support the new Kyrie5 basketball shoe, and we at Cool District provided the 3d footage, compositing and animations for this advertising piece, for Laundry Service.
We wanted to show our readers a peak behind the curtains of a production like the above. Check out the video below. It will show you the main steps of the project (in under a minute).
The video below shows the Blackbird Car Rig. Cool District has one on it's wish list for next Christmas. It is used for all kinds of 3D car capture, and it is just really dope. Check it out:
Thank you for reading / watching!

Today I have read Joan Didion for the first time. I have read her most recent work: Blue Nights, a memoir.
Even if this is a book on loss and sorrows, and also on getting old, it was a truly beautiful story to read. The text has a kind of rhythmic repetition which gives it some very interesting poetic qualities. It seems almost as if Didion repeat her sentences in lack of words, or the RIGHT words, indicating that this, what she is trying to tell us, is actually impossible to formulate.
