"One must either be a work of art, or wear a work of art", Oscar Wilde. Never truer words in the case of Jorge Midencé, acclaimed new Canadian milliner who is gaining as much buzz for his dramatic personal style as he is for his label of bespoke hats and headpieces, Midencé Oliu Millinery. Midence's distinctive work quickly gained cult status among socialites, party queens, and fashion editors in Toronto and beyond.

With many in the art community supporting his emerging career, Gallaro has his own marching band. Of mentors, he says, "I like making friends with artists who can teach me different tactics of art, and other styles. Stephen Appleby-Barr; his stuff is very portrait-esque and Jon Todd's is abstract and more contemporary. A lot of people inspire me." Hewitt adds, "Older artists recognize what Theo has. Someone like Theo, wants to learn at a different [level] – he doesn't want to go to art camp, but is ready to try what most kids don't understand." Jon Todd from Calavera backs Gallaro,"We have done screen printing together and had lengthy conversations about the contemporary art scene. I am a collector of his work. There is a rawness and authenticity to his drawings that is shocking and compelling."
"My first portraits, I always hated drawing people – I'd mess up and they wouldn't look good." Like most artists, Gallaro is his own harshest critic. Hewitt even resorts to saving pieces from his backpack, others that are even ripped up – which Gallaro deems unworthy. "I'm the mother that saves every single thing he does. Even things he doesn't want to save." Gallaro rejects the comparison of these first works to that of any famous artist, while Hewitt remarks, "We don't always catch him in time to sign them." Gallaro adds, "One time they glued my signature to the paper. A bummer, because people think it's forged."
TREASURE ISLAND Words, HEIDI HOFSTAD; Images, TODD SAUNDERS
Geometrical and contemporary designed art studios are popping up on the shores of Fogo Island.The international design community is curiously watching the rapid development, while local islanders are embracing the structures and their creative inhabitants. One is towerlike, another rectangular, and most still under construction, but each providing building blocks that are perhaps shocking to any landscape, let alone this quiet island.
The six studios serve as inspirational workspaces for visiting artists participating in a residency program. While practical in purpose, the unique and ultra modern buildings have not only changed the skyline of this sleepy island, but are also transforming the culture of the nearby fishing community. Each workspace contrasts against the rocky headlands of the North Atlantic, but maintains the simplicity of island culture. The studios allow artists the privacy to focus on their various crafts – each a fifteen minute walk to town – while experiencing the seasons against the panoramic backdrop.
"It has been a challenge finding appropriate sites for [the studios]," says Elisabet Gunnarsdóttir, Director of the Fogo Island Arts Corporation. "Our aim was to allow these structures to have a presence without overwhelming the surrounding landscape in a pretentious way. The traditional architecture is rather modest and there is certain fragility to it that we didn't want to compromise." At the architectural wheel is Newfoundland native Todd Saunders of Saunders Architecture, who is now based in Norway. Using a Scandinavian approach, Saunders created spaces where artists can go about their work, tapping the environment as a muse. The crashing waves of the water became the central focus, with many of the studios resting high on stilts, turning the ocean into a vast pool. The Long Studio has an extended linear shape for maximum wall and floor space. Large windows at each end combine with a skylight infused natural light. Doors are flush with the walls, to avoid any internal visual distraction. The area is clean with storage options and even the toilet is built within the deep walls. Other artists will perch in The Tower Studio, a three-story, vertical structure with a wrap-around window that provides a 360o view of the landscape. The Bridge Studio has a simple box shape made specifically for writers. Complete with a desk facing the ocean and a small library, the space is separated from the land and sits on pilings in the water. Artists must walk the plank to access the entrance. This is just a glimpse into the studio life experienced by the artists, who do not live or sleep (aside from a recess nap) there. Nights are spent back in traditional homes with the local community, among true open-armed islanders. "We encourage dialogue between artists and local people to share experiences and perceptions so that the lives of both are enriched," adds Gunnarsdóttir.
But, it's the all-aluminum, direct-injected, supercharged 3.0 litre V6 that produces 300 horsepower (at a lofty 5,250 rpm) and a healthy 324 lb-ft of torque (from 2,900 to 4,500 rpm) that will keep gearheads excited. This engine is capable of propelling the A7 Sportback to 60 mph in 5.6 seconds with a capped, top speed of 155 mph.
The rock-solid chassis can be credited to its lightweight aluminum parts, newly developed power steering, and Audi's drive select dynamics system that can be supplemented with the optional adaptive air suspension. An active lane assist helps keep the A7 Sportback firmly on course, while the new park assist system relieves the driver of the chore of steering when parallel parking.
Tackling the transmissions are a user-friendly multitronic (for the 2.8 and 3.0 turbo diesel) delivering smooth shifts to the front wheels, and a sporty seven-speed S tronic revving up the other engines. The latest generation of Audi's Quattro allwheel drive gives the driver control, while the chassis combines sporty precision with luxurious comfort.
Cruising through twisty roads at an advanced clip allows the A7 to take advantage of its neutral cornering stance and minimal body roll. Whip it through the streets with the windows open and the volume cranked to 11 – because there's no better way to experience its prowess. Audi's A7 Sportback blends a level of refinement and technology into one beautiful package, proving once again that it is possible to bring seduction to the driving experience.
The Quattro's all-wheel drive and grippy Yokohama Advan Sport tires eagerly push the A7 around on tarmac with ease. The Audi A7 Sportback sits on large wheels measuring from 18 to 20 inches in diameter and stops on a dime with massive brakes; four discs, created to connect centrifugal forces with the ground.

MOON MAN Words, TALIA SHEWCHUK
In July 1967, a young Guy Laliberté watched in amazement at Neil Armstrong's moon walk. At that moment, Guy comprehended his parents' advice: that he could live fairytales. When asked, "What do you want to do when you grow up?" he replied, "I want to see the world." At 50, this boy looked back at Earth from Space.
Guy Laliberté, president and co-founder of Cirque du Soleil, is one of TIME Magazine's most influential people. He was eighteen when he left school with his accordion and $50 to perform on the streets of Paris. There, he discovered a love for entertaining and learned three important experiences that he maintains in business. The first was privilege. Living alongside the downtrodden, he was able to eat daily and live a life many couldn't. "We don't all have access to the same resources, nor are we dealt an equal hand in life." Second, the ability to read people's intentions. The third begins with a story of a wealthy doctor who invited Laliberté into his home and gave him food and shelter. The doctor said
that someone helped him when he was young and he was following the natural order. It was Laliberté's responsibility to do the same. "Feed the circle of life, and it will feed you back." When he returned to Quebec a year later, he organized a small performance troupe. "We were successful, only having lost $20,000 in 2 years." Laliberté staged his first large-scale street show, Cirque du Soleil, in 1984. After negotiations with the Quebec government, the relatively inexperienced troupe brought their show to the exhibition celebrating the 450th Anniversary of Jacques Cartier's
discovery of Canada. Cirque's success grew steadily, turning a small profit touring Montreal, Toronto, and Vancouver. "We had every problem starting a big top could have," says Laliberté. "It was only with the courage and arrogance of youth that we survived." Everything changed in September 1987 when Cirque performed at the Los Angeles Arts Festival. "It was live or die in L.A.," says Laliberté, "and we bet everything on one night." After, shows in Santa Monica and San Diego brought $1.5 million in profits. They were able to keep the momentum by using profits to create new shows. Nouvelle Expérience began in Europe and two years later, another show premiered in Japan. In 1993, Laliberté signed a ten-year contract with the Treasure Island Hotel in Las Vegas to present the Cirque production, Mystère. triple trapeze; PICTURE CREDIT, belinda pratten; COSTUME CREDIT, eiko ishioka
"We're not afraid of risking what was our success yesterday in order to explore some new field. We're adventurous! We like the challenge of unknown territory, unknown artistic field, and that's what stimulates us." Much of Cirque du Soleil's success can be attributed to Laliberté's business style. He scours the globe looking for performers. He believes in watching and learning from only the best, because they are the "heart and soul of every company." He says business, much like his poker game, is also about knowing when to take risks and when to let others play out the round. In 2007, Laliberté placed fourth, winning a total of $696,220 in the fifth season of the World Poker Tour Championship held at Vegas' Bellagio. To celebrate Cirque du Soleil's 25th Anniversary, Laliberté formed One Drop, a foundation that advocates global clean water. According to him, someone without this resources dies every 8 seconds. "We in Canada, as is much of the world, are uninformed of its scarcity." He has donated $100 million towards the cause. When asked about his space travel, Laliberté explains that when the countdown began and the ground lit up underneath him, he knew he was doing something very personal. His years of mastering the art of putting on shows had not reclaimed the freedom he had performing in the streets. "We are each but a quarter note in a grand symphony," says Laliberté. Cirque du Soleil may be considered the grandest, most awe-inspiring exhibition of the senses. It lives somewhere between our imagination, desire and reality. It is the masterpiece of a Canadian dreamer who sounded his first note with an accordion echoing through the streets of Paris.

Inside every adult there's still a child that lingers," he says."We're happiness merchants – giving people the opportunity to dream like children."

ORIGIN Words, SARAH KHAN
Stroll around historic King Street East and you'll find Origin, one of Toronto's stir-causing dining spots.
Brainchild of Executive Chef Claudio Aprile, Origin is a feast for the senses. Visually delicious, it is furnished using repurposed aluminium dining tables, reclaimed wood flooring, all in their original form, or as close as possible. With rebellious quirky touches (like it's Japanese monster toy chandelier), Origin is a restaurant for those who want elegant simplicity, while dining on original and savoury meals.
"Colborne Lane was very much about manipulating ingredients and changing their form and changing the perception of the dining experience. Origin is about allowing ingredients to just be and not to put them through too much intellectual process," says Aprile. If cooking were fashion, Colborne Lane would be haute couture, while Origin would be the ready-to-wear line. "I wanted to bring a concept that was affordable without any compromises." With nothing on the menu over twenty dollars, Origin's prices are as fresh and uncompromising as the food.
The establishment is all Aprile, who is recognized for creativity and innovation. His passion began young: at four he told his mother he would be a chef. Not wanted to be: would be. He defiantly dropped out of cooking school after a year to travel and learn from talented chefs in great kitchens around the world. A self-confessed prankster, Aprile is also very serious and passionate about his art; however, acknowledges fun and freedom are important ingredients for creativity. Always wanting to do everything his own way, he refuses to identify a leek as anything other than a large green onion. Certainty and stubbornness contributed to him becoming a monster talent. He is no stranger to television and other media. With write-ups in newspapers and magazines all over the world, as well as appearances on television and YouTube, Aprile is at the top of his game.
Origin's menu allows diners to experience foods that made a huge impression on Aprile himself. "I'm not following any specific style or cuisine. It's very free," he says. While some restaurants may focus on the contrasts of the myriad of flavours comprising their menu, this is just the starting point for Origin. Here the contrasts don't always come in the form of what Aprile calls "flavour profiles", but vary in influences. "With every project I plan, I try to create an experience. I wanted to create disconnects between the dishes, for example a mozzarella bar and a Japanese hand roll wouldn't normally be found on the same menu. I find this very appealing." That is what makes Origin unique – Aprile's desire to just cook; to go where the inspiration takes him. The same applies to the environment at Origin – not just the decor and the clientele, but the soundtrack as well. You can expect to hear death metal playing while being served razor clams with garlic and ginger with calamari.
After the success of the critically lauded Colborne Lane, what was it that drove Aprile to open Origin? To create a diverse and unique space, where taking the safe route wasn't a necessity. A city full of culture and vibrancy, the Toronto cooking scene, according to Aprile, is paradoxically homogenous. Origin is a step away from that. Three years ago he was in a menu meeting about tomatoes, and trying to work out a recipe for a type of tomato salad. It took three months to develop the idea, and by then tomato season was over. The frustration he felt is when Origin was born – the question of why everything had to go through a process instead of just cooking.
Origin's menu is full of mouth-watering fare that was developed by taking an ingredient and acting upon an idea quickly, without giving it too much thought. Spontaneous cooking channelled from passion and inspiration. "The best food I've ever done is that way."

AMY PRICE Words, LAUREN SHERRIFFS
From David Duchovney to Kiefer Sutherland, Amy Price-Francis has worked with some of Hollywood's famed television heartthrobs and held her own by bringing passion and life to each compelling new role. A Toronto native, Price comes home to play the unapologetic Jessica Hall in Showcase's new original cop drama Kings.
Lucky to find time to chat with busy Canadian actress while in between shoots and flights, I had a glimpse inside the character of a successful charismatic professional.
"I enjoy shoes, although I don't have the shoe closet that she has. I appreciate her sense, and the collaboration with the designer on the show – you know, being in somebody else's clothes (for) 14-15 hours a day, for a few months...was a very strange experience. I was really looking forward to putting on my flats at the end of the day, but yeah…they are a great part of who she is, they are a great testament of who this woman is."
Diving right into acting, Francis began with a background in Theatre, but it wasn't until the artistic director of the National Theatre School encouraged her to audition that she realized her passion for acting. "I trained in the theatre, the National Theatre School. So, that's where I really first discovered acting and that's where my training is. That will always be my favourite – it is a very special thing to do."
Kings, filmed in and around Toronto, is a gripping show for both the sexes. Not just a cop drama, but also a real life story with a lead female you can identify with. Written by award winning screenwriter Greg Spottiswood, we watch the life of wickedly funny Jessica King unfold with a new position from seasoned police officer to lead investigator for Toronto's Major Crimes Task Force.
On Kings, Francis plays Jessica Hall, an unapologetic multi-dimensional female character trying to find a happy balance between a job she loves and a personal life she wants… all while wearing killer stilettos and Carrie Bradshaw type outfits.
"An extraordinary, amazing pilot…I just knew her immediately – and that's because of his writing, I knew her. And I was just sold. You know, just reading the script for the first time, I just wanted to be in it. Just wanted to be there."
Never a stranger to strong female roles and interesting plot-lines, Francis has worked on heavy shows like the Cleaner, opposite Benjamin Bratt, battling to save her marriage to an extreme interventionist. A show based on the real life happenings of the Cleaner's Executive Producer, Warren Boyd, and the research into each new character provides valuable insights into life and those specifically dealing with disease.
A. Oh, sorry Evan Handler, but Hank Moody! Q. WHAT IS DAVID DUCHOVNEY LIKE? *SWOON* A. He is very gracious and there is this zen energy about him. He can just step into
it and step out of it and, you know, just extraordinarily talented. A lovely guy, and lovely to be around, very funny, smart and a great actor to play with.
"I just did a lot of research and I think most of us have known, or do know, somebody with some kind of addiction. I just really dove into that world and I really found a deeper, greater understanding with the people who do have the disease, fighting with the disease, struggling with the disease so that was an extraordinary experience. It really opened my eyes to the world of addiction and recovery; and that journey in and out of itself. Not only one individual suffering, but their whole family in it – they suffer a lot with them."
Q. ARE YOU PRO OR CON NIP AND TUCKING? A. As long as you pull the plug when you start looking teenage. Q. WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT TORONTO WHILE LIVING IN LA? A. I miss the people. I miss the culture. I miss the art. I miss the seasons. I miss the
streets – it's so nice to be able to just walk around and breathe the air, and look at the building and smile at people in the street and run into people. In LA you spend so much time in your car, it was a real culture shock for me.
A life freckled with memorable experiences and amazing opportunities, Francis has had stints on wickedly popular television shows, 24 and Californication. Between a real life Canadian playing a dreamy agent saving the world, and a sarcastic literary man's man whose dripping in sex appeal… I'd swap in my pen for a day in her life, wouldn't you say?
Q. FAVOURITE RESTAURANT IN TORONTO? A. Well, the cast and I (went to this) great restaurant a couple of weeks ago, it's called "The Foxly". You know the Foxly? It's on Ossington! Oh my god, it's fantastic. I lived near Yorkdale a number of years ago and Ossington wasn't really happening the way it is now. It's really is a great area and there are some great restaurants over there.
"On 24, I had the privilege of working with actor Jon Voight. We did a scene together and, of course, he is remarkable. It was a great honour to work with him. When we were done, we got into the car to go back to base camp, he was at the Kraft table making a sandwich. He came back to the car, sat in the front seat and he said "Amy?" and I said "Yes…" and he put his hand back to give me something: "So, I got this for you". It was a couple of tootsie rolls and a lollipop… as if he was giving me a pat on the back, like "You're okay kid!"– kinda thing… It was very sweet. Kiefer himself, was just amazing to watch. He's all 100%, 100% of the time! It was just really wonderful to watch him, he was very gracious to me, to the whole crew, to the other actors…He is a real class act, just something amazing to watch."
Q. FAVOURITE LA NIGHT SPOT? A. There is a great place in the Valley, in Studio City, called the "Outtake Bistro". And if you want an almost mouth-watering, amazing Filet Mignon, that's where you will get it. It's a beautiful, tiny little place with wonderful service and a great wine selection. Q. WHAT CAN'T YOU LEAVE YOUR HOUSE WITHOUT? A. My keys and my dog. Q. TIM HORTONS OR STARBUCKS? A. (Laughs) My Canadian friends aren't gonna like me for this one! You know what?
So, with the excitement of so many great experiences and Kings about to launch on Showcase, what's next for our Canadian girl next door?
I have great, great affection and nostalgia for Tim Hortons and honestly, I'm not a very big fan of Starbucks brewed coffee. But I do like a Latte – occasionally – and that's my thing. So, I'll have to go with a Latte from Starbucks, but a Hot Chocolate from Tim Hortons!
"I continue on Chicago Code. I'm not sure how many more episodes, but just assuming a few more of those, and look for Kings. Other than that, I'm not sure – I'm gonna sit down and take a rest for a couple of weeks here. I'm unemployed, once again, and out in the Great Unknown." Welcome Home Amy!

CAMERA-INDIA Words, JANET CASTILLO; Photography, APRIL MACIBORKA
There is something special about the vibrant colours of sarees and the singing calls of the chai vendor. The sweet smell of jalebis waft down the train platform as you inhale slowly.
From the moment you set foot onto the train platform, you know there is something special about the new land you ventured so far to see. Through the doors you watch the organized chaos ensue. Rickshaws, people, vendors, children, cars, taxis, and oddly in the mix, wandering cows, seem to have a rhythm. You are in India and ready to begin a photography adventure of your life. You smile and hug your camera gear sitting protectively on your lap. You think to yourself, "This is the adventure I've dreamed of."
"Images of Rajasthan" is a photography tour that April Maciborka hosts in the dusty desert region of Rajasthan, India. Up to fifteen photographers, hobbyists, amateurs and the like set foot onto the streets of India together capturing some of the most beautiful imagery India has to offer. For seventeen days in February April takes a new tour group through small villages, the big city of Delhi and desert festivals with moustache competitions and camel beauty contests. She tests the squeamish to their limits at the Deshnok Karni Mata Rat Temple, and pushes people to step out of their comfort zone in the slums of Delhi.
A TYPICAL SCENE FROM A VILLAGE HOME – WOMEN SORT RICE, WHILE TENDING TO THEIR CHILDREN, DOING HOUSE WORK, PREPARING MEALS, AND KEEPING ORDER.
INDIA IS A DESTINATION FOR THE ADVENTURER, THE REAL LIFE SEEKER, THE ARCHITECTURE LOVER, THE SHOPPER, THE ZEN SEEKER, THE NOMAD AND OF COURSE THE PHOTOGRAPHER. Unlike many five star tours that exist today, April wants to maintain rustic elements so that the experience of India is as true to reality as possible. She adds adventure with a camel safari and camping under the stars of the great Thar Desert venturing to one of the wonders of the world, The Taj Mahal. This photography tour enables travelers to have the comforts of home, routes and timings pre-arranged, and all logistics planned cohesively so that when you are traveling on a timeline and a budget, you have time to focus on your passion of photography instead of trying to figure out how to get from point A to point B. With an itinerary made specific to a photographers needs and flexible enough for individuals to choose what they want to be a part of, this tour is like a mini backpacking adventure but with more luxury. AN ELDERLY MAN BATHES IN THE GANGES BELOW THE KOLKATA BRIDGE.
Rajasthan is comprised of a largely rural population that is growing a modern sensibility each day. The state of Rajasthan can be divided into a large sandy desert scrub of the Thar Desert and hilly mountain ranges of Mount Abu. It is culturally rich, having many traditions reflecting the ancient Indian way of life. Folk culture is a part of the everyday; dance, song, art and handicrafts are produced all over and recognized as a shoppers' paradise. Rajasthan is also known for their national parks and wildlife sanctuaries such as the Sariska Tiger Reserve and the Desert National Park of Jaisalmer. India is a destination for the adventurer, the real life seeker, the architecture lover, the shopper, the zen seeker, the nomad and of course the photographer. It is a land of culture, religions, traditions, food, art, and life. It has the ability to simultaneously excite, frustrate, inspire and astound. April's photographs of India reflect this lifestyle and mentality, bringing the viewer into the subject's reality.

Finally, we say goodbye to the cold. As the weather progressively gets warmer, it is time to bring out the summer gear as we welcome the return of backyard parties.
There was once a time when backyards and patios were only used for gardening and limited activity, now it has become an extension of the living space and a great place to entertain guests. Patio furniture designs have evolved with a lot more choices today than there ever before. Patio and backyard furniture can have an assortment of styles anywhere from contemporary to traditional-country inspired, and everything in between. Adorn your backyards with an array of choices such as benches, couches, tables, outdoor showers, hammocks, and much more. One of the most important features of outdoor furniture, aside from style, is durability. Mainly because our weather is so unpredictable and changes so often it is essential to have pieces that can withstand varying weather conditions without compromising comfort.
The YYZ Living team suggests taking a closer look at the SKYbed – the epitome of relaxation. This remarkable outdoor bed has an ergonomic design and unifies the comfort of a bed with the enjoyable rocking of a hammock. The entire structure is weatherproof and made from a fully dismountable stainless steel frame and tear-resistant relax mat. The SKYbed is available in single or double sizes and the relax mat is available in 30 different colours to suit your taste and dÊcor. The SKYbed is great for a quick catnap under the sun, but when you want to escape into a book for an afternoon read the SKYrocker is the way to go. The SKYrocker can turn a plain and boring backyard to a comfortable and stylish area to kick back on warm summer nights.
One furniture company that takes pride in durability and comfort is SKYliving, a Germany based manufacturer that creates extraordinary and innovative highend outdoor furniture. SKYliving has redefined the terms style, functionality, durability, and comfort for life under the open sky.
The colours, design, and patterns will certainly be the envy of all outdoor furniture. Made from the same highly technical textiles as the SKYbed, this set is another backyard essential that can be exposed all year long.

Yesterday they built the herb box that will sit right near the garden entrance. There will also be similar boxes lining the middle of the yard which have wide fronts which will serve as extra seating.
I told Chuck (the gardener) that I wanted to have fresh herbs and apparently he thought I said I wanted to grow a forest of herbs? It's really hard to tell scale from these photos but the box is ridiculously huge.
Great. So when I kill every plant it'll just look that much more baren.

Well situated on the second floor and with a great overview of the beautiful port of Kristiansund. Well prepared and good offer of tradional food.
This was a practical buffet, located near the Hurtigruten Terminal, and works well as a meal before boarding to avoid high food costs onboard ship. Since we had eaten a huge breakfast, we opted for the Fishball plate. Since we do not eat pork, she...More
If you are after good traditional local food, this is the place. t is a cafe, not restaurant. No alcohol but good service and great food.
Nordmørskafeen is a venue where they are serving diverse traditional local seafood and ditto meat food. Especially the fish meals are lovely.
Great traditional Norwegian food. I always have the kjottkake (sp?) - meatballs. But strange potato balls and fish balls are also on the menu. Lovely view across the harbour in a cafe that's barely changed in 20 years, thankfully.
When I first started to visit Kristiansund regularly (around 2000), this was already so off-style that it was retro cool. Since then, the retro style has become more popular, and Nordmørskafeen did the only right thing - refurbished whilst keeping it kind og 70´s and...More
In this part of Norway potetball would be a traditional dish. At this cafe you may try blannaball (mixed ball) a dish made of potato and white fish for NOK 165. Locally famous, served with sausage of meat, fried baconfat, and boiled vegetables. Ask for...More
Very traditional place in Kristiansund where you can eat local food at reasonable prices. Charming 70´s kind of interior. It has existed for over one hundred years. It was rebuilt after the bombing during WW2. Good food. Social anthropologically interesting. Lot´s of fur and heavy...More
My first thought, supertraditional. At this place they make it all by them self. No factory finished of any kind. We had the fishkakes and fiskegrateng, the kid wanted pasta. They would make childrens sizes of everything on the menu if asked. This is important...More
Nordmørskafeen serves Norwegian homemade food as its main courses, and they do it very well. If in Kristiansund, visit this Cafè.

One of our favourite films of 2013 reaches disc.
Computer Chess. From Andrew Bujalski, graduate of the US Mumblecore movement, comes one of 2013's most intriguing and enjoyable movies, in which he charts the efforts of a disparate group of individuals to create a computer programme capable of beating man at chess over the course of a weekend in a Texas hotel. Bujalski resorts to unusual means with which to project his vision, using an archaic form of video photography that's period appropriate to the tale being told. An extensive package of extra material accompanies the film on disc.
Check out our complete review of the film here. Computer Chess is our highlight of the week in home video, and the disc will be explored in greater detail on the site tomorrow.
The Stuart Hall Project. John Akomfrah's documentery on the cultural theorist was one of the quiet successes of 2013, with it's burgeoning reputation set to grow and grow as the film is discovered on home video.
The Poirot Collection. A box-set featuring three of the more highly regarded film adaptations of Agatha Christie's Poirot tales in high definition. At the head of the set sits Sidney Lumet's 1974 Murder On The Orient Express, starring Albert Finney as the Belgian detective. Death On The Nile and Evil Under The Sun round out the collection.
Sherlock – Series 3. It's a lot of fun.

Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion
Marxist neo-realistic filmmaker Elio Petri surpassed himself with this devious and playful thriller about a powerful chief homicide investigator who murders his mistress, confident that no one will suspect him. It's like the best episode of Columbo you ever saw but in Italian with beautiful women, fantastic clothes, mad decor and that bloke from the spaghetti westerns. Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion won more awards than Berlusconi had bunga bunga parties when it was originally released, now is your chance to find out why, on the big screen. Forever.
Restored in 4K by Colorworks in collaboration with Cineteca di Bologna at L'Immagine Ritrovata. Funding provided by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, The Film Foundation, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Today, I am sharing my take on the May Show Us Your Stuff Challenge. This month it is hearts and poetry. Two things that honestly made me think "Ugh"! But I do like a challenge.
For the poetry side of it I decided to go with a Kaisercraft rub on that I have had hanging about in my stash for a while. It's fairly simple. This is my second take on this challenge my first was picked up for publishing so keep an eye out for that one. The first challenge used a long poem sticker so this one is a bit simpler but there was no way I was going hand write it. My lettering needs a lot of work.
This layout I decided to keep fairly simple but bring in a few different elements. I have used one of my hot glue gun messy stamps and some hand stitching. I kept all the embellishments to a minimum using Charms Creations hessian heart and Studio Fourteen 40 Flair. I look at this layout and I think its a bit grungy and minimalistic compared to what I usually do but I really like it. The photo is the star of the layout.
Here is the Charms Creations heart and Studio Fourteen40 flair. These hessian hearts had the red wood button heart attached but I removed it to incorporate my flair button and just attached it below.
This is a close up of my hot glue stamp. Its a messy circle and won't be everyone's cup of tea but I really like it. I like how its not sharp and perfect.
There is no video to go with this layout as I was up late and my camera's memory card was full, I could either continue on or spend time downloading the camera. I decided to continue while I had a few ideas flowing.

"A high-up furnace which processes ore at an impressive five times their value, as long as you can get the ore into it."
The Elevated Furnace is a Rare-tier shop item that was released in the Summer Update of 2017. Ores have to reach the height of the Elevated Furnace with either Ore Elevator or Large Conveyor Ramp but multiple the ore by 5x. The furnace has three beams on its side so it can be seen as a furnace with three side acceptance unless you think you can get ores pass those beams.
This furnace is good if you're in the late billions but once you reach the billions, it would be more convenient to use Heavenly Forge. It's also good if you're worried about having your ore missed when trying to launch them into the Elevated Furnace.
- This is the first furnace to be at the Raised-ier elevation.

It's one of these days that you complain about everything in your life, your apartment is small, you need a better car, you should go out more often and so on. You wake up next morning and you get an unexpected call from your boss "I'm sorry to inform you that you are fired. I wish things were different.". You just freeze there as you hear the beep of the hanging up call. Oh well, you will find another job right? The months go by, no jobs available, you pass by the stores and you stare at all the clothes you ever wanted to buy. Your life has turned upside down, the way out seems far away and now what?
You make a quick hot cup of cocoa as you now realize that small things make you happy. Your boyfriend calls you, this time it feels so different while talking to him. This old lady who always takes care of your plants, you never paid attention to that before. That bird who just sat on your balcony, you feel so lucky seeing it around. Remember to be grateful for all the things in your life, never take anything for granted.

MOSCOW — The collapse of an apparent attempt to frame an opposition leader in Kyrgyzstan on heroin-smuggling charges threw the Central Asian state into political turmoil Tuesday.
Former parliament Speaker Omurbek Tekebayev was arrested at Warsaw's international airport last week after a wooden doll containing heroin was found in his luggage. But video from security cameras at Manas airport in Bishkek, the Kyrgyz capital, indicated that security officials there may have tampered with his baggage, and a Polish court ordered Tekebayev's release after investigators determined that his fingerprints were not on the doll.
Supporters and critics of Kyrgyz President Kurmanbek Bakiyev swiftly traded charges of who might be to blame for the incident.
The president's brother, Janybek Bakiyev, deputy chief of the National Security Service, was accused in parliament of having ordered the operation. He and his boss, national security chief Busurmankul Tabaldiyev, offered their resignations while declaring their innocence.
Parliament also debated but took no action on a resolution calling for the resignations of President Bakiyev and Prime Minister Felix Kulov, who have worked as a team since coming to power last year in a largely nonviolent people's revolution driven by hopes for greater democracy and a crackdown on corruption.

A man's illness is his private territory and, no matter how much he loves you and how close you are, you stay an outsider. You are healthy. ~Lauren Bacall
I have a habit of trying to "figure out" my diseases and which one I'm battling at any given time. Is it the fibromyalgia bothering me or the rheumatoid arthritis flaring up? Is it the snow moving in? Did I go up and down the stairs of our split level home one too many times? Or is it (gasp) disease progression? The last thing I want is someone telling me what they think it is or especially what they think it isn't.
I saw this t-shirt and at the time I chuckled because I knew it was a true statement and I had a few run-ins with folks who compared RA to the pain in their hand or an old sports injury in their knee. Now, I don't even know where to begin about how it makes me feel. Just as thousands of other RA and fibromyalgia sufferers, I have had physicians blow off my pain or just change my medication and hope for the best. I had decided to try a "holistic" approach when I was first diagnosed with fibromyalgia. That doctor looked me dead in the eye and told me that fibromyalgia wasn't real. Hmmmpf.
However, the most painful blows for me are not from the medical community. They're from people I come into contact with on a regular basis. Most of them too prideful to educate themselves on the reality of 1.) Who I am. 2.)The significance of the disease that they are so quick to be experts about. Co-workers, church family, neighbors, and sadly....family. My husband told me once that there are times when it's difficult even for him to believe that there is something wrong or that it's really as bad as I say it is simply because I look okay. Do not be mistaken, I have a wonderfully supportive husband who helps me a great deal with many things around the house and when we're out and about. It's the not looking sick that people can't get past.
But You Don't Look Sick.com creator Christine Miserandino gives a wonderful visual in The Spoon Theory. I have even printed it off and given it to friends and family members as well as posting it on facebook or emailing it to friends just hoping that they'll read it and grasp some sort of understanding of chronic illness. Unfortunately, the majority of my friends have failed to respond to the article (which is beautifully written, by the way) or be bold enough to have a conversation with me about it.
These diseases are real. The pain is intensely real. My distinct bad attitude towards "normal" illnesses is mutating into something very snarky, but that's a whole new topic for a whole other day. And if tomorrow was anything like today, we'll be discussing it tomorrow.

These past few days have been a time of uncertainty for everybody. Some people may be following current events closer than others, but everyone can sense the feeling hanging in the air. Without getting too political here, it's certain that things are going to change in a big way. The American Dream of the past 60 years is toppling in on itself, so I say it's time to design the new American Dream. This dream may be scaled back from the sprawling suburbs conceived of last century. We may not own four cars, but maybe we can count on one good working automobile. Life may involve walking to the store and biking to work. The new American Dream probably won't involve living in a 6-bedroom, 5-bath house. Things are going to get scaled back, expectations are going to have to be curbed. Things are changing, and there is lots of design to go along with the change. I myself am excited, bring on the 21st century American Dream.

Chairman of the CPPCC (Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference 中国人民政治协商会议) Jia Qinglin (see his C.V. here) in his capacity as top political advisor: "We will concentrate our energies on stimulating steady and robust economic development and promoting social harmony and stability." Scientific development seems to head the list of Jia's priorities during the annual session of the National Committee of the CPPCC.
At the other end the implicit '…focus on promoting social harmony and stability in 2012 by contributing wise and innovative social administration' suggest a continued affirmation to work on social equilibrium.
It remains to be seen if it can stem the tide of the growing prominence of internal social unrest with deep-rooted problems such as irreversible social decay due to the urban/rural hukou divide, corruption and the growing pains of a central authority continuing to learn to open up.

'Steady and robust' economic development
By Lan Lan and He Dan
Source – China Daily, published March 4, 2012
BEIJING – China's top political adviser Jia Qinglin highlighted real economy and a "steady and robust" economic development in a work report delivered on Saturday.
"We will concentrate our energies on stimulating steady and robust economic development and promoting social harmony and stability," Jia said in a work report at the opening meeting of the annual session of the National Committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).
The nation's top political advisery body will coordinate with democratic parties and other organizations in making proposals and suggestions on a slew of economic issues, ranging from expanding domestic consumption to raising the levels of opening up, Jia said.
"Giving impetus to scientific development" is set as the advisery body's top priority, he said.
He also emphasized the importance of maintaining price stability and ensuring the supply of agricultural products, as well as the upgrading of industrial infrastructure, strengthening innovation, and the support and development of small enterprises.
Lan Hong-tsung, a member of the CPPCC National Committee from the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, said the report has helped to clarify the direction of future efforts.
"China has kept a GDP growth higher than 8 percent and a relatively low unemployment rate amid hard global economic climate. That gives us confidence and hope," he said.
Mei Xingbao, a member of the CPPCC National Committee and the former president of China Orient Asset Management Corporation, also expressed his optimism about the country's economic outlook.
"The eurozone debt crisis and the ongoing macro-economic control measures have slowed the economy, but there are many regions with new vigor and great potential for growth," he said.
Some economists had made the forecast that China may set an annual economic growth target below 8 percent for 2012. For instance, Nomura International predicted the GDP growth target might be as low as 7.5 percent.
The International Monetary Fund also lowered its forecast for China's economic growth in 2012 to 8.25 percent, from the previous 9 percent estimate issued in September.
The country's economic growth slowed to 9.2 percent in 2011, down from 10.3 percent in the previous year.
"The GDP growth is always higher than the target, I think it will have no problem surpassing 8 percent in 2012," said Mei.
Although there is no sign that the economy will face a "hard landing", strengthening the ability to guard against financial risks is still essential, he added.
Meanwhile, the CPPCC will focus on promoting social harmony and stability in 2012 by contributing wise and innovative social administration, Jia said.
Urbanization should not be understood simply as a rapid population shift to cities, it requires careful overall planning, said Liu Mingkang, former head of China's top banking regulator and a CPPCC National Committee member.
Liu urged local governments to improve their urban planning and scientific management as China experiences the spread of urbanization.
Bo Shaoye, an official from the China Disabled Persons' Federation and a member of the National Committee of the CPPCC, said he agreed with what Jia said on improving the construction of low-income urban housing as a vital part of innovative social administration.
"Currently, many disabled people are eligible for the low-income housing projects. However, such projects lack barrier-free facilities to satisfy the needs of the disabled," said Bo.
"Our government should place priority on understanding and respecting the needs of different social groups in its policy making and social management," he stressed.
Chen Guangbiao, a businessman and a high-profile philanthropist from East China's Jiangsu province, said he has been present at the CPPCC sessions as an observer for 12 years.
Chen urged the country's top political advisers to help cities recycle construction waste and domestic garbage more effectively.
"They should stop burying garbage and allowing it to occupy more land. It will eventually invade the living space of our future generations," said Chen.

Video Site w/ VideoSwiper integration
Budget $250-750 USD
I want a site that is very similar to this site: [url removed, login to view] or [url removed, login to view]
Things I would like included:
-Videos to be added (But NOT hosted on my site. Videos taken from other video sources like [url removed, login to view]) using videoswiper
-Some sort of list for the videos on the front page
-Big image/header to put at the top.
-Header at the top with links, and a search field.
-Be able to search for videos.
-Custom video interface(For example: [url removed, login to view] *You can see on the video player it says WSHH with a logo and all*)
-Each video page can have: Description of video, video date added, video views, video code that includes the url, embed code, and auto play code. Also be able to add comments for the video.
It looks like the site doesn't actually upload the videos to their host, they actually just use videos from youtube, google, etc. and just has their own video interface for the player. If you go here: [url removed, login to view] it actually tells you it doesn't:
I am a graphic designer and will provide you with a PSD mockup of the site I would like you to use to design the actual page.
Thanks and feel free to ask any questions!

Had a pretty miserable run as a father today. It does not excuse my actions, but I am under a tremendous amount of pressure and stress at work right now.
Taryn: I would like to apologize for not having more time this morning. It led to a bad situation where I was not able to be as patient with you as you needed me to be. I can't undo it, and I hope you have forgiven me.
I am PROUD of you. You used the potty for me tonight, and that was a great thing. You are fiercely independent, a trying but noble trait. It is not going to be an easy ~year for us, but I hope you know I'm trying to make you a more respectful little girl. I don't hate you, not even close.
Paige: you're a fantastic kid. I'm sorry I got on your case at dinner about how
You were sitting at the table. Sometimes Daddies screw up. You're my best buddy, my Paigey pop and I love you.
I'll try to do better tomorrow.
I'm a Cell/Molecular/Developmental Biologist with two young kids. This is what my life is like...

Hopefully you told the girls and didn't just blog - so important to let them know that you know you can screw up and are not perfect. Many small people expect that the big people in their lives know everything. We don't - we just hope to keep ahead of them for a while and when they catch up we hope they still listen to us and when they are all grown we hope they can be our friends. Apologies help! momReplyDelete

The introduction of the pension freedom reforms on 6 April 2015 means that instead of being required to buy an annuity with their pension, people aged 55 and over can now spend their pensions how they wish.
Unlike previously, where retirees could take their 25pc tax-free cash but had to move the rest of their money into an annuity or income drawdown, the freedoms mean they can still take their 25pc tax-free cash – but can do what they want with the rest of the money.
With pension savers taking out around £27m a day from their pots since the rules came into force, knowing where to invest for a regular retirement income is key.
Investing for income in retirement is different from investing at other stages of life. Known as the "decumulation" phase, one of the risks of having more flexibility with pensions is that retirees could be in danger of running out of money, particularly if they don't seek expert advice.
Get a picture of your retirement income needs before taking any steps towards investing for income. What is your minimum income need? Do you have any debts that need paying off, such as a mortgage? What about big events, such as a child's wedding or home improvements?
Once you know what kind of income you require, you should consider longevity. People are living longer these days – on average, people aged 55 today will live to 85 or older – so take into account how investments will perform over the long term and how reliable an income they will provide.
Investment strategies
There are a range of investment strategies that you can pursue when seeking a sustainable income in retirement.
Most advisers will advocate taking a diversified approach where your money may be invested in a selection of dividend-paying equities, bonds and cash, and even property holdings.
However, seeking professional advice is critical to finding the most appropriate strategy for your individual needs.

President-"Gimme $80 billion to upgrade my aging nuclear arsenal–and throw in a dynoooomite Peace Prize"-Obomba will be the usual eruption of interest-bearing, ionizing platitudes you hear on the nightly news at this conference in Seoul.
But I've got news for you guys: Fukushima is the nuclear issue. Deal with it. It is an ongoing global emergency. Mobilize troops, not to deal with Iran, but with Tokyo Electric-LDP-BHP-Billiton-Areva-General Electric-IAEA's Fukushima Daiichi. That is the question. Repeat unto yourselves until the snot cemented walls of corruption that make up your demonic minds fall.
Get you gone you sick motherfuckers!
Participants at the Seoul Summit will discuss "the threat of nuclear terrorism". You've seen this before at KO, but in case you need reminding (most of our memories go back a month or so) here's (an incomplete) summary of who the real nuclear terrorists are-
Where does Iran fit into this? When was the last time they went to some tropical paradise, ordered the locals, at gunpoint, to scram, and blew the island to smithereens for Allah–not just once but 66 times, the strongest one being a thousand times deadlier than Hiroshima?

Gingham is one of those prints that never goes out of style (you can't go wrong with "the prep" — ever!). So, when we spotted this Jil Sander 'Leica' Gingham Midi-Skirt over at theoutnet.com, it was love at first sight (the midi-length, the curve-hugging silhouette . . . *swoon*) — but for $392, there had to be a look-a-like some where that would leave you with enough money left over to create two or three looks for the price of this one skirt. And, indeed it was!
ASOS's Petite Exclusive Pencil Skirt in Gingham isn't quite as long (it hit justs below the knee), but it's just as fabulous — the sleek silhouette and the whimsical print all for less than $20. You can buy a couple pair of shoes and some tops to get multiple wears for the price of the Jil Sander version. And wouldn't it look modern and sophisticated worn with a fitted neon sweater, an oversized clutch and nude pumps? A fresh take on '50s chic.

Suffering in Silence: 5 Tips for When You Feel Isolated at Work
Anne Niederkorn works in IT, physically removed from the corporate offices, and she once feared the silence and lack of communication there would drive her mad. But she persevered, and she shares five tips to feel less lonely at work in an article for the Muse.
Her first tip is that, if things are too quiet, speak up! In her case, people literally were not even saying "good morning" upon arriving, so she finally took the initiative to at least do it herself. As a result, greetings caught on and became the norm. Second, avoid emails and phone calls as much as possible when face-to-face communication is a valid option. More will be discussed and learned, about work and about each other. Third, seek out HR activities like company athletic teams or learning lunches to meet more people and find commonalities.
If you have a hard time being the person to initiate things, seek out the person in the office who is inherently outgoing. That person probably already knows lots of people in the building well and will probably help you become more connected in the office. And of course, when all else fails, appeal to sense of humor. You do not need to be Chris Rock; just put in the effort to be goofy without it feeling forced. People like to smile, and you have to start somewhere.

I could, if I were determined to forget my true age, sound like my mom and gripe about when I could fill up my car (granted, the Mazda, not the van) for about $10.
Instead, I'm going to gripe about the fact that when I drove past the Arco on Devonshire at 3:45 today, gas was $2.41. When I drove back past it 3 hours later, to get gas, it was $2.51.
Eesh. This keeps up, and I might have to start looking for an apartment in Simi -- for what I pay here, I could only get a small 1-bedroom, but considering that $20 of gas doesn't even last 3 days anymore....

Example Screenshot of drawing the decisions.
Example Screenshot of drawing annotations and relationships.
The Object Management Group® (OMG®) is the international not-for-profit standards consortium. OMG has standards that are driven by end-users, vendors, government agencies and academic institutions. OMG develops standards for a wide range of technologies. Three well-known standards of OMG are the Unified Modeling Language® (UML®), Model Driven Architecture® (MDA®) and the Business Process Modeling Notation (BPMN®).
Here is a link to the official specification of the open standard: BPMN 2.0
Extra features for BPMN on Dragon1 are:
Next to BPMN also XPDL is available.
XPDL is a file format to store all details of the BPMN process definition notation in, including graphical descriptions of the diagram, and also executable properties.
In XPDL you store a process in high definition, without any loss, and another product can import it to reproduce it as exactly the same diagram.
Here is a link to the XPDL website.

3- I just can't believe all those people miss that many easy questions!
2- Alfonso just has to be animated, whether the answer is right or wrong - "AND YOU ARE!!!…..INCORRECT!"
and the number one things that gets on our nerves about game shows is…….
1- Must the audience read each answer on the board out loud, including any "slash" and "comma" symbols?!
All that said, we still like and watch GSN regularly, we just have to roll our eyes every now and then…thanks for the laughs, gamers!
