There's just something about a good cleanser. My first luxury cleanser purchase was the Chanel Cleansing Gel that was a transparent kelly green in a square pump bottle. There was something magical about that bottle (and about Chanel) which sat unceremoniously on our apartment sink and would wash away the day with a burst of fragrant green bubbles. To this day, I am a total sucker for cleansers. It's almost ALWAYS the first product I'm attracted to – and I don't have a problem (relatively speaking) spending up to $60+ for one that strikes my fancy.
That said, it's actually a silly addiction. After all – after it washes away the dirt, makeup and other daily sins, it gets flushed down the drain. Whether it's a pretty pink tube from a Japanese drugstore or an elegant glass bottle filled with luscious amber liquid – a face cleanser has just one function. To get you clean without stripping and to prepare your skin for treatment products. Honestly, while I've been happy with many pricey cleansers, I've been just as pleased with others that were half the price. Joy and disappointment at all price levels.
This $AVE or $PEND SHOPPING GUIDE offers several options based on skin type and price range. If you want to save the most money – choose a SAVE product that is normally purchased at a drugstore, wait for a sale or coupon and stock up. Curious about luxury cleansers? Ask for a sample or try a trial kit before committing to the full size. If you love it, wait for a gwp, bonus size or online sale.

The first session we worked carving in wax, approaching the shapes of stones as problem solving and building a setting to hold them. The next session the following week we cleaned our castings in the metal and set our stones. Here are a few of the student pieces from the workshop.

Burrata, Bruised Kale and Bread Salad with Crispy Farro/
Burrata, Bruised Kale and Bread Salad with Crispy Farro
If you are anything like me, you have the best of intentions to eat healthier – which usually includes a generous supplementation of salads to your diet. But I find that salads can get quite boring. They can be monochromatic in taste, texture and the less exciting they are, the less I am inclined to keep them as a regular part of my diet.
Here I have attempted to combat the mundane character of the salad by focusing on a mash-up of texture. The kale is hearty, the crisp farro crunchy and nutty, and the burrata is so soft and creamy.
Yes, there is cheese in this salad. Yes, there is crisp fried farro and crunchy garlic smeared bread in this salad. So, no this may not qualify as the healthiest of salads, but it is hearty and satisfying enough to supplement a large meal, and at least you are getting a whopping amount of greens, grains, and good oils.
Kale in itself is difficult to eat raw. By massaging, or bruising the kale, you can start to break down some of the fibres and release the flavours. I love massaging kale, It is an uber-satisfying as a task, and the end product is tasty and can last in the fridge for a couple of days, making it an easy addition to a packed lunch.
The crispy farro in this recipe is a revelation. Farro is a whole grain – somewhere in between quinoa and barley. When eaten simply cooked in a traditional way – it is firm but chewy and makes an excellent risotto. I would recommend making a double batch of this crispy farro as it keeps for up to five days in a sealed container, and is nutty, crunchy and so flavourful it can kick any croutons ass.
Burrata is pure decadence. It looks like a delicate satchel of white mozzarella, and once you pierce the outer shell, out spills its delectable, soft creamy centre. Typically burrata is served on its own, with a few simple accompaniments so the flavour and texture is highlighted. I have included it in this salad as the texture is the polar opposite to the farro and bread, and when forked, creates its own creamy and decadent dressing.
Burrata, Bruised Kale and Bread Salad with Crispy Farro
Serves 4
4 cups (1,000 ml) of kale, leaves torn from stem into bite-sized pieces
1 tablespoon (15 ml) of good quality olive oil
1 teaspoon (5 ml) of lemon juice
2 cups (500 ml) of vegetable stock
1 cup (250 ml) of farro
1 cup (250 ml) of grapeseed oil
8 cloves of garlic – peeled
8 slices of baguette
½ cup (125 ml) of olive oil
1 ball of burrata
¼ (1.25 ml) teaspoon of chili flakes
salt and pepper to taste
Bruised kale
In a large bowl, combine the torn kale leaves, 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 teaspoon of lemon juice. Using your hands in a massaging motion, work the olive oil and lemon juice into the kale, for about 3-4 minutes. While doing this you will see the kale turn a deep, brilliant green. Cover the kale and place in the refrigerator until ready to use.
Roasted garlic bread
Preheat oven to 350F. In a small oven-proof dish combine the peeled garlic and ½ cup of olive oil. Roast in the oven until the garlic is tender, approximately 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow to cool, but leave the oven on.
Using 4 of the cloves of garlic, and about 2 tablespoons of the oil from the roasted garlic dish, mash into a paste and spread evenly on both sides of each slice of bread. Arrange the bread slices on a parchment-lined baking sheet and return to the oven. Cook for about 7 minutes, then flip the bread slices and cook for 7 additional minutes. Remove from the oven.
Crispy farro
In a medium saucepan, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. Add the farro and cook until the farro is tender but not mushy – about 25 minutes.
Remove the farro from the pot and drain. Allow to cool slightly.
In a heavy bottomed saucepan, add the grapeseed oil and warm to about 250F.
Working in batches, add the farro and fry until crisp – about 1 minute. Remove the farro from the oil with a fine slotted spoon and allow to drain on a paper towel.
Working in a lipped dish, carefully cut the burrata into 8 even wedges, ensuring you collect the soft centre, which will spill out.
To assemble the salad; divide the kale among 4 plates, top with 2-3 tablespoons of the crispy farro, 2 slices of bread, one clove of roasted garlic, 2 wedges of burrata, pinch of chili flakes and salt and pepper to taste.

Justia Idaho Supreme Court Opinion Summaries
Articles Posted in Juvenile Law
Idaho v. Shanahan
Christopher Shanahan appealed a district court decision denying his motion to correct an allegedly illegal sentence imposed in 1997. In the Fall of 1995, Shanahan and two friends devised a scheme to rob a convenience store in Grant, Idaho, and use the money to travel to Las Vegas, Nevada. Once there, they planned to join a gang and lead a life of crime. Shanahan argued his indeterminate life sentence, with the first thirty-five years fixed, for the murder he committed as a juvenile in 1995 was equivalent to a life sentence without the possibility of parole. Therefore, he argued that under Miller v. Alabama, 567 U.S. 460 (2012) and persuasive precedent from other states, he was entitled to a new sentencing where his youth and its attendant characteristics could be properly considered. Otherwise, he argued, his sentence violated the Eighth and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S. Constitution. The district court denied the motion on the basis that Miller was inapplicable to Shanahan's sentence and, even if it applied, the sentencing court heard testimony regarding his age and mental health prior to sentencing him. Finding no reversible error, the Idaho Supreme Court affirmed Shanahan's conviction. View "Idaho v. Shanahan" on Justia Law
Idaho v. Jane Doe (Juvenile)
Relying on Idaho Criminal Rule 47, Jane Doe filed a motion to modify disposition requesting that the juvenile court place her back on probation after sentence had been imposed, and modify its previous computation of credit for time served. The juvenile court held that Doe's motion was actually a motion to reduce sentence under Idaho Criminal Rule 35 (a rule which has not been incorporated into the Idaho Juvenile Rules) and concluded that it did not have jurisdiction to consider Doe's motion. Doe appealed the juvenile court's decision to the district court. The district court affirmed the decision, holding that Rule 47 did not grant jurisdiction to reduce the sentence, but that jurisdiction existed under Idaho Code sections 20-505 and 20-507. The district court held that whether the sentence should be modified was a discretionary call and that the juvenile court did not abuse its discretion in declining to place Doe back on probation or incorrectly calculate Doe's credit for time served. The Idaho Supreme Court agreed with the district court's decision to affirm the magistrate court's denial of Doe's motion to modify disposition, but took the opportunity to explain there was no jurisdiction for the juvenile court to modify the juvenile's sentence once it had been imposed and the time for appeal had run. View "Idaho v. Jane Doe (Juvenile)" on Justia Law
Idaho v. Juarez
The State appealed the magistrate court's dismissal of the State's motion for contempt brought against Luis Juarez for failing to make payments ordered in a juvenile proceeding. In 2002, Juarez admitted to committing an offense that would have been a misdemeanor if he had been an adult. Much time passed and the court entered several orders directing Juarez to pay fees and restitution in varying sums. Eventually, on October 6, 2005, the magistrate court entered its Amended Financial Judgment and Order directing Juarez to pay restitution. Juarez failed to pay, and would fail to appear twice, resulting in bench warrants for his arrest being issued both times. By the second time Juarez came before the magistrate judge, he was over 26-years old, and outside of the juvenile court's jurisdiction. The court reasoned that now that Juarez had been brought in for an adult felony charge, it could no longer hear the contempt proceedings for failing to pay restitution. The district court reasoned that contempt was not available to compel payment of a restitution obligation arising from a proceeding under the JCA because the magistrate court's jurisdiction was conveyed by operation of Idaho Code section 20-505 and withdrawn by operation of Idaho Code section 20-507. The Supreme Court reversed the district court, concluding: (1) the magistrate court had jurisdiction over a charge of misdemeanor contempt under Idaho Code section 18-1801 (and if the offender was under eighteen years of age at the time of the criminal contempt, and the juvenile court exercises its discretion to treat the offense under the JCA, then Idaho Code section 20-507 would operate to terminate the juvenile court's jurisdiction as the proceedings would arise out of the JCA); (2) based on the State's own affidavit, the alleged crime was committed more than four years before these proceedings were commenced; (3) although this action was processed as a criminal case, no complaint was ever filed; (4) despite the lack of a complaint and without a finding of probable cause, the magistrate court issued warrants which resulted in Juarez's arrest; (5) the court's written "Statement of Rights and Explanation of Procedures for Contempt of Court" erroneously advised Juarez that the State bore the burden of proving the contempt "by a preponderance of the evidence;" (6) the court erroneously advised Juarez of the potential penalties upon conviction for misdemeanor contempt (18-1801 did not prescribe the penalty for misdemeanor contempt); (7) the magistrate court did not appear to recognize that Juarez had a right to a jury trial for misdemeanor contempt; and (8) Juarez appeared before the court without counsel, and Juarez discussed his case with the prosecutor without a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to the assistance of counsel. The Supreme Court reversed the district court's decision affirming the magistrate court's order dismissing the State's motions for contempt. The case was remanded for further proceedings.

Idaho v. Garcia
Andrew Garcia admitted to committing an offense that would have been a misdemeanor if he were an adult. He was ordered to pay court costs of $20.00. After Garcia admitted to committing another offense and a probation violation, he was ordered to pay court costs, probation fees, and community service fees. On May 10, 2010, Garcia admitted to committing another offense and was once again ordered to pay court costs and probation supervision fees. After he failed to make those payments, the State filed a motion for contempt. The magistrate court dismissed the motion, concluding that it did not have jurisdiction because Garcia was then over twenty-one and juvenile court jurisdiction was terminated by operation of Idaho Code section 20-507. The State appealed and the district court affirmed the magistrate court's order. The State appealed the decision of the district court. After review, the Supreme Court concluded the trial court possessed the inherent power to adjudicate Garcia's alleged contempt, and incorrectly dismissed the State's motion for contempt for lack of jurisdiction. The district court was reversed and the case remanded for further proceedings. View "Idaho v. Garcia" on Justia Law
Idaho v. John Doe (2012-10)
The State appealed the district court's decision to affirm the magistrate court's holding that it did not have jurisdiction over John (2012-10) Doe because he was twenty-one years of age when the State filed its petition in juvenile court. Upon review, the Supreme Court reversed the decision of the district court. View "Idaho v. John Doe (2012-10)" on Justia Law
Idaho v. Doe (2012-09)
In 2009, the State filed a petition against John Doe, charging that he was within the purview of Idaho's Juvenile Corrections Act (JCA) for delivery of a schedule III controlled substance, hydrocodone. The State and Doe's counsel reached an agreement whereby Doe admitted to the charge and, in exchange, the State waived proceedings to bring Doe into adult court. At the conclusion of Doe's sentencing hearing, the magistrate judge memorialized his ruling in a "decree" that was issued that same day. The decree stated, "It is hereby Ordered, Adjudged and Decreed that [Doe] is within the purview of the [JCA] and shall be placed on Formal Probation supervision not to exceed 2 years." In the first year of Doe's probation, he had two probation review hearings, both of which demonstrated good behavior. At Doe's one-year probation review hearing, Doe's counsel argued that the magistrate should convert his formal probation to an informal adjustment. Doe's counsel could not cite any authority for converting the sentence, but believed that the court had broad authority to do so based on the interests of justice. The State objected and argued that the court did not have authority to convert the formal probation to an informal adjustment. Ultimately, the magistrate court stated that it had the authority to convert the sentence and entered a "supplemental decree nunc pro tunc to date of original order," granting Doe an informal adjustment and dismissing the case. The magistrate then issued an Order Supplementing Decree that provided "Formal Probation converted to Informal Adjustment, nunc pro tunc 05/05/09." The State filed an appeal to the district court. The district court affirmed the magistrate court's order. The State timely appealed to the Supreme Court. Because it was improper for the magistrate to convert Doe's sentence, any subsequent dismissal or termination of the improperly substituted informal adjustment could not be upheld. The Supreme Court reversed the district court's order and remanded the case for reinstatement of the 2009 decree. View "Idaho v. Doe (2012-09)" on Justia Law

The Digital Economy Bill introduced at Westminster this morning will give industry regulator Ofcom greater responsibility to encourage investment in telecoms infrastructure.
The move is to accelerate the development of superfast broadband. The regulator will also be required to make a formal assessment of the UK's communications infrastructure every two years.
The Bill also aims to enable the development of next generation mobile broadband services by allowing for the charging of periodic payments on auctioned spectrum licences and allowing Ofcom to levy monetary penalties for failure to meet certain licence conditions.
The Bill puts into place many of the recommendations set out in the Digital Britain report, published in June, such as those made by independent spectrum broker Kip Meek regarding the re-allocation of spectrum and subsequent caps following an auction.
Lord Mandelson said: "On current definitions our digital economy accounts for nearly £1 in every £10 that the whole British economy produces each year – so our creative and digital industries are key to Britain's future economic success. This Bill will give them the framework to develop competitively and make the UK a global creative leader.
"Creating the right conditions for investment in our communications infrastructure will bring benefits for households and businesses in all parts of the country."
Other measures in the Digital Economy Bill include greater protection against online copyright infringements by obliging internet service providers to take action against infringers, greater support for regional and local television news from Ofcom, updating the regulatory framework to prepare for the digital switchover for radio by 2015, and making age ratings compulsory on video games, among other items.
Excerpts from the Bill:
"A competitive digital communications infrastructure: to strengthen and modernise the country's communications infrastructure by enhancing Ofcom's duties in relation to investment in infrastructure and content, providing Ofcom with additional powers to support the modernisation of the mobile network spectrum and making changes to the radio licensing regime to support the move to digital radio;
"To strengthen the country's communications infrastructure, equipping the UK to compete and lead in the digital global economy.
"The Digital Britain White Paper set out that the centrality of our communications infrastructure to our economy and society has grown since the Communications Act 2003 was drawn up. The Government therefore proposes that Ofcom's duties should be modernised to ensure that Britain has a first class and resilient infrastructure.
"Firstly, the ability to introduce innovative new services frequently depends on investment in communications infrastructure. The Government therefore recognises that there is a potential tension between a short term regulatory goal of reducing prices, and a longer term regulatory goal of promoting efficient investment and the resulting innovation. This is a particular concern at a point in time when, for example, we expect that major new investments will be required to support the next generation of fixed and mobile broadband services.
"The Communications Act 2003 sets out what Ofcom must and can do and how they should do it. Ofcom's principal duty requires them, when carrying out their functions to further the interests of citizens in relation to communications matters and to further the interests of consumers in relevant markets, where appropriate, by promoting competition.
"The Government's Bill proposal is to require Ofcom when performing their principal duty to have particular regard in all cases to the need to promote appropriate levels of investment in communications infrastructure and public service media content. Ofcom are to have regard to the need for investment to be efficient wherever possible. It is intended that this change will enhance the regulatory environment for future investment in communications networks and the incentives for network operators to invest.
"Secondly, the Government recognises the increasing importance of monitoring the national communications infrastructure, and the need for both Government and Ofcom to take a broad view of the UK's needs and any ways in which those needs may not be being met. The Bill provides a new duty on Ofcom to report to Government every two years, giving an assessment of the UK's communications infrastructure and to alert the Government to any significant developments affecting the communications infrastructure.
"To deliver progress towards next generation mobile networks and greater coverage to the benefit of consumers and business, the Government will be implementing the recommendations of the Independent Spectrum Broker. Those proposals require legislation to allow for the application of periodic payments, such as Administered Incentive Pricing, to spectrum that has previously been auctioned.
"In addition, Ofcom's existing powers to revoke or prosecute for a breach of a licence condition are seen as disproportionate or not sufficiently flexible in some circumstances. Monetary penalties can be a more flexible, proportionate and immediate enforcement tool. The Bill therefore provides Ofcom with the power to impose monetary penalties for a breach of certain wireless telegraphy licence conditions."

Santa House, 1954
For a number of years in the early 1950s, the Middleborough Retail Merchants' Association sponsored a Santa Claus who had an established "office" in one of the Center Street storefronts and "visiting hours" during which children could pay him a call with their list of wishes for the coming year. Each year, Santa's arrival was announced in the local Gazette and he arrived courtesy of the Middleborough Fire Department upon one of their engines, sirens blaring and lights flashing.
Speaking directly to the community's children in 1953 regarding the arrival of Santa Claus that year, the Gazette reported: "The Middleboro retail Merchants Association is very pleased to announce that a committee quite some time ago contacted the North Pole, and made arrangements to have St. Nick come to Middleboro …. We are very fortunate, children, to have Santa coming to Middleboro because he is extremely rushed at this time of year, and it is being done with the kind cooperation and needed assistance of many local people." Santa arrived that year by means of Ladder No. 1 to a workshop decorated by Middleborough High School art students.
The popularity of this community Santa (and the lack of an available vacant store front the following year) prompted the proposal for a separate headquarters for the gentleman from the North Pole which ultimately led to the creation of the Santa House in 1954.
Under the direction of Alton Kramer, the Merchants Association in conjunction with the shop class of Middleborough High School constructed a small house on the grounds of the Middleborough Post Office at Center and Union Streets. "The proper artistic scenes for Santa's stay here shortly after Thanksgiving for a two week period [were] arranged by students of Miss Sylvia Matheson's art classes."
To add to the festive atmosphere in the downtown district, colored overhead lights and decorations were strung across Center Street as a joint project between the merchants and the schools.
Santa arrived at his new home on Friday, December 10, 1954, and his appearance was described in the pages of the Gazette. "Santa Claus arrived here Friday afternoon at 3.30. Heralded by a police car with siren wailing, the old gentleman was seated in a chair atop Engine 1. He was dressed in the traditional red outfit trimmed with ermine. His luxuriant white beard hung down to his belt as he waved to the crowds of children dashing along the sidewalks trying to keep pace with the fire engine. The engine came down South Main street and turned up Center. It stopped in front of the Post Office lawn, where Santa's holiday home had been completed several hours before his arrival. He jumped down very spryly for a chubby old timer, and waded through a mob of screaming children." The initial line of children wishing to visit extended down Center Street "for some distance."
The 1954 event proved enormously popular and was repeated for a number of years afterward, with the Santa House being set up on the first Sunday in December by members of the Merchants Association. Although the 1955 season curiously was to have featured Santa arriving at the Santa House by helicopter, these plans "were cancelled on orders from Washington" which no doubt wisely objected to a helicopter landing on its post office grounds. Instead Santa arrived in the local traditional manner of a fire engine, the delight of the children no less diminished by the absence of the helicopter.
Typically, hours at the Santa House throughout the era were set for Friday and Saturday afternoons as well as evenings for children to visit. Though the Santa House was a popular holiday tradition, it quickly lapsed. In 1971, Clint Clark eulogized that "the Santa Claus quarters, we remembered, was little more than a flimsy structure. But the path led to 'Santa' and that made it as magical and grand as a dream castle to the hundred of youngsters who came to confide their Christmas hopes."
Better yet to remember the Santa House from its earliest days, from a time when Center Street was packed wall-to-wall (or store-to-store) with retailers, when residents would come to shop, to dine and simply to meet one another. The account from December, 1954, recalls an era when downtown Middleborough remained the heart of the community at Christmastime.
"Most of the lights strung across the streets by high school students had already been turned on. The trees along the sidewalk opposite Santa's home were also lighted. Store windows were gay with holiday trimming and crowds of shoppers moved along the sidewalks. From one store a loudspeaker had been rigged and Christmas carols as old as time boomed out at the traffic-filled street.
"Overhead it was gray and a cold drizzle came down on the people, but no one seemed to mind or notice very much.
"The Christmas season had arrived in Middleboro."
Merry Christmas.
Santa, J. C. Leyendecker.

The question is answered, right answer was accepted
License Authorization Wizard doesn't appear when I start it. Running as an administrator didn't not work also. I couldn't launch the wizard and authorize my product.
Answer by BettinaW (57602) | Oct 06, 2016 at 07:57 AM
The current content of your lservrc file is the trial code only which is used up for 14 days already. Please delete this code from the file. Instead I created your license code manually for your locking code
and your authorization code: this authorization code is also an interval code for Modeler 18 GradPack valid for 365 days
your new license code is posted on my private reply of today.
Put this code into lservrc by deleting the other one and save the file on the same location with the same name, no file extension, save it only as LSERVRC, otherwise it will not work.
Also, the license code must be on one line in the file, no line breaks in between.
after that start Modeler 18 and let us know if it works now
regards, Bettina

Answer by nauvillain (269) | Sep 08, 2016 at 09:52 AM
Did you install it as an administrator?
Answer by BettinaW (57602) | Sep 13, 2016 at 08:43 AM
Please provide more information on which IBM SPSS product and version you like to install and license?
We only know so far you like to install on Windows 10 64 bit, but which product and version? What is the exact name of the installer file you use for installation.
Answer by ahmetb (3) | Sep 15, 2016 at 02:36 PM
The product I want to install is "SPSS Modeler Premium Academic and Faculty/Author 18.0". The name of the installer file is "spss_mod_clt_64b_18.0_win_ml.zip" and I have a 20-digits license key. I have extracted the files in a folder and installed the product running the file "setup.exe". Thanks
Answer by BettinaW (57602) | Sep 16, 2016 at 02:48 AM
@ahmetb Thanks for the reply. Yes, this is the correct file name: spss_mod_clt_64b_18.0_win_ml.zip
After extracting the complete content of the zip file to a folder on your hardrive of the Windows 10 64 bit machnine, it is essential to right click on 'setup.exe' file on the folder with the extracted content and then to select 'run as administrator'.
Can you confirm that you have started the installtion of modeler 18 this way? If not you need to uninstall and then re-install by right click on setup.exe, 'run as administrator', otherwise the software may not be instaled properly. this is also mentioned in the installtion documents.
If you have installed this way but the License Authorization Wizard (LAW) still cannot be started try this: a) Make sure your computer is connected to the internet.
Open Windows Explorer and go to installation path of Modeler 18, typically installed to C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Modeler\18.0
Open the BIN folder
Locate a file called law.exe
Right click on law.exe and select 'run as administrator'. The Wizard should open if you have administrative permission on this Windows 10 and you can use your 20 digit authorization code to license the software.
IF the LAW still does not open use b)
b) Make sure your computer is connected to the internet. Open a command prompt as administrator change directory CD to installation path of Modeler 18 bin folder e.g. cd C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Modeler\18.0\bin when on this folder on cammnd prompt type licsenseactivator followed by a blank and the 20 digit authorization code, press enter and wait for the message displayed on command prompt
licenseactivator <
please let us now what you get regards Bettina
Answer by ahmetb (3) | Oct 04, 2016 at 05:36 AM
I have tried everything written above. Running as an administrator the law.exe or using the cmd didnt't work. I also coudn't run LAW after installing SPSS Modeler on a different computer. I can install SPSS Modeler properly, but when I want to start LAW, nothing happens. By the way with an e-mail address I can start the trial. The problem is LAW.
Answer by BettinaW (57602) | Oct 04, 2016 at 06:36 AM
What do you mean by 'it does not work'?
When LAW does not start I asked you to use licenseactivator:
-Make sure your computer is connected to the internet.
Open a command prompt as administrator change directory CD to installation path of Modeler 18 bin folder
e.g. cd C:\Program Files\IBM\SPSS\Modeler\18.0\bin
When on this folder on command prompt type
licenseactivator followed by a blank and the 20 digit authorization code, press enter and wait for the message displayed on command prompt
licenseactivator followedbyyour20digitauthorizationcode
What is the error message when you use the above on command prompt? Please send a screenshot.
Answer by ahmetb (3) | Oct 05, 2016 at 08:22 AM
There is no error message after pressing enter and running "licenseactivator code". But after that when I start SPSS Modeler, the activation message box coming again. LAW is asking me for administrator permission to run, when I click yes, nothing happens. The only way using SPSS Modeler is starting trial. Otherwise activation/authorization window keeps coming.

My Favorite Video Games and Tabletop Games of 2017
Video Games
Dead Cells
From my Steam Summer Sale write up on this one:
"Dead Cells is an Early Access title, but one that overcomes the stigma that label can sometimes bring. Like a side-scrolling Dark Souls, Dead Cells drops your nameless protagonist in the middle of an island dungeon with no knowledge of how they got there. As you run, jump, and kill enemies, you collect the two currencies of the game: gold and cells. Gold helps you purchase items in the shops and unlock treasure doors during play. The cells are spent at the end of each stage to upgrade and unlock new weapons and abilities. When you die you start over with your primary weapons, but everything you unlock carries over from playthroughs, able to be discovered and purchased. Addictive, smooth gameplay."

Some more beautiful music to share with y'all today.
Tender Heart Songs is a CD collection of original lullabies written, arranged and sung by my good friend Kira Callahan. I picked up several copies back in the fall, one for myself and a few for friends with little ones at home. And I can tell you these songs are so beautiful and relaxing, you don't have to be a small child to appreciate them.
I just saw that the website for the CD is up and running, and includes song clips, as well as info on the CD's genesis and how to purchase it. Check it out: http://tenderheartsongs.com/Home.shtml
Wow. So lots of artsy fartsy past-times this past Friday/weekend, some of which I described in my post on Saturday – namely, the set painting drama at Alumnae Theatre.
Saturday afternoon, I got to read with prospective actors at the callback auditions for an upcoming New Ideas Festival play: Summer's End (by Francine Dick, directed by NIF co-founder and my pal Kerri MacDonald). Being an audition reader – for me, anyway – is all the fun of an audition and none of the pressure. Kerri had us doing various bits of the play as lawyers, children and even in stage whispers. Big, big fun – and I'll be following this play throughout the rehearsal process and posting on the Alumnae Theatre Company blog: www.alumnaetheatre.wordpress.com
Saturday night was I Furiosi's concert My Big, Fat Baroque Wedding with my friends Martha and Fiona – as always, a lovely time. This is an amazing, eclectic and edgy group of musicians – and far from playing period music all serious-like, they have a blast with concert themes/titles, costumes and big goofy fun. And the all-ages audience really digs that. In fact, some of the audience came dressed for a wedding. Check them out: www.ifuriosi.com
On Sunday, I was back at Alumnae Theatre for the producers lunch for the After Magritte/The Real Inspector Hound cast and crew. This also gave me a chance to check out the re-painted floor, which due to the lack of a glaze coat this time, was showing some wear from ladders, furniture and actor traffic. Sigh! We're going to need ongoing touch-ups, especially if it gets left unglazed. Marysia is back in today – and the two of us may be in tomorrow night, working around final rehearsals/tech to finish the last of the painting (which was put even further behind schedule by the bizarre glaze outcome on Friday night). This all reminds me of a quote about working in the theatre from the movie Shakespeare in Love:
"Allow me to explain about the theatre business. The natural condition is one of insurmountable obstacles on the road to imminent disaster."
"So what do we do?"
"Nothing. Strangely enough, it all turns out well."
"I don't know. It's a mystery."
And, of course, I had to watch the Golden Globes – in spite of, or perhaps because of, allegations of payola and backroom deals during the nomination process. Always fun to see nominees being genuinely chuffed about being in the presence of celebs. My favourite speech of the evening has to be Paul Giamatti's (won for Best Actor in a Drama for Barney's Version); The Globe and Mail's piece today has some fine excerpts: http://www.theglobeandmail.com/news/arts/awards/golden-globes/giamatti-salutes-great-nation-of-canada-as-he-wins-globe/article1872396/ I also loved how Giamatti repeatedly expressed delighted disbelief over receiving the award from presenter Hallie Berry. And after host Ricky Gervais' joke about the HFPA President, I'm pretty sure he'll get his wish and not be invited back.
Thoughts go out to the families of actress Susannah York (who I adored in Tom Jones, A Man for All Seasons and Jane Eyre, just to name a few) and playwright Romulus Linney (father of actress Laura Linney, another of my favourites, who won a Golden Globe for The Big C last night), who both died on Saturday.
Till next time…
For those of you in theatre, film or t.v., you'll know that a lot of the drama happens backstage or off-camera.
The set designer and production team for Alumnae's two one-act Stoppard shows – not to mention some of us on the painting crew – got a good dose of drama this morning when set designer Marysia Bucholc returned to the set to discover that something had gone horribly wrong with the glaze on the floor.
Basically, it dried very unevenly – and in some cases, left a milky white film all over the place. So she's in the process of re-doing the floor. Unfortunately, those of us who helped last night (including my friend Lies – and we were there till a bit after 11 p.m.) are unable to help out today – but when I called Marysia (after receiving an emergency phone call from producer Lynne Patterson), she had already re-done the base coat, had folks on the way and would be okay.
So now we may have to go back to do some odds and ends on Wednesday night, as we've lost time today on re-painting and re-lining the floor.
Off to help my friend, director Kerri MacDonald, with her New Ideas audition this afternoon – then meeting two friends for I Furiosi's concert tonight. They're an amazing, edgy baroque ensemble – check out their website: www.ifuriosi.com
Great weekend all!
Hey all. From time to time, I'll be copying posts from my other blog writing gig: Alumnae Theatre Company's blog. Check it out sometime: www.alumnaetheatre.wordpress.com
Here's today's post:
Bloggergal is going to need her Wheaties over the next few days, chickens.
I'll be meeting up with Magritte/Hound set designer Marysia Bucholc and painting crew to paint the set tomorrow. And, due to scheduling issues – with the build, rehearsals and a film shoot rental – we'll be doing most of the set painting tomorrow night (just one week before opening!). Never a dull moment, let me tell ya.
Saturday, I'll be acting as audition reader, along with Dinah Watts, for a New Ideas play: Summer's End (by Francine Dick, directed by NIF co-founder Kerri MacDonald).
Also, I've been in touch with NIF Producers Pat McCarthy and Brenda Darling, as well as Marketing Director Tina McCulloch, about a new idea for NIF rehearsal blog coverage. My plan has yet to be confirmed with a couple of other folks involved, so more on that later.
And, during all of this, I've been in contact with Ed Rosing – who is designing set #3 for the season (our final show Guineapigging) – about the possibility of helping him with painting that set.
Who was it who said I need a clone?
Anyway. To be continued. Back with my recent Alumnae adventures on Monday…
Continuing to ponder and create a list of goals for this new year (I'm big on lists). Setting up this blog was one of them. Yay me!
A lot of the stuff on my list I like to think of as "life housekeeping" and includes both literal and creative tasks. Reupholstering that 1950s love seat. Buying a pair of roller skates. Learning the Chorus speeches in Henry V (I bought the Oxford edition of the play, since it's much easier to cart around than my Riverside Complete Works of Shakespeare or the Folio Complete Works). Like that.
Also designing tattoo #12. Have been doing so for some time, actually. It's a variation on the Faerie Cats (Celtic) design – but it's not quite right yet. You gotta be pretty circumspect about something that's going to be etched on your body forever. In any event, it'll be an even dozen then. No idea if it will be the last, though. Maybe. Maybe yes.
A question came up from a reader the other day, so I thought I'd post my response – in case anyone else was wondering the same thing.
Q: When I mention products, etc., am I doing product placement or promotion?
A: No. Whenever I mention a product, service, organization, person, etc. in this blog it's because I've had some experience with it/them, like it/them and want to share it/them. And that's all. I am not promoting anything or anyone per se in this blog – although I will personally recommend or shout out stuff and folks I like. It's all just personal preference. Good question, though – since this is the age of the web and all.

That's great news, Paul. Looking forward to the new release. So, you're going to install the missing Apple script library then? I'm wondering whether that broken OSX installer might be causing other problems too.
Yes, I was wondering as well if I should enable the manage & organize options again after SongKong has done its job. It should merely go back to managing the files then. And if I need SongKong again I always can disable the options while your app is processing the music library. Or simply create a watch folder and only add new music files once they've been properly tagged by SongKong. Gotta think about what's the best approach.
Last question: Selecting all music files and clicking on Get Info brings up a summary of all files. Will it tell me whether files are missing? Under what tab?

Hello, I am Miss Young. I received the following email. It is a socalled
"Advance Fee Fraud" letter, where I am promised millions for
my assistance. These stories are all lies, and if I respond, sooner
or later I will be asked to pay a fee. If I pay, another fee will quickly
come up, and it will continue that way until I give up or run out of
money. I will never see the millions, because they never existed.
If you received a similar email, you should go to the homepage to read more about 419 fraud.

All arrangement to bring out the consignment from Iraq have being concluded with a United Nations diplomat. I need someone who can receive it since I can not receive it directly due to my status.
I am offering you 20% of the total sum for your assistance and the 80% will be transferred to my account whcih I will instruct you in my next email to you on how it will be transferred to my account.

If you are interested I will furnish you with more details. But the whole process is simple and we must keep a low profile at all times. The best mode of communication to me is through email.
I look forward to your reply and co-operation, and I thank you in advance as I anticipate your co-operation waiting for your urgent response.
Thanks for your understanding.
Best Regard,

The program for the Camden Garden Club's August meeting was a field trip to witness a garden transformation in Union,Maine. Sherry Cobb, a past president of the club, showed Before Pictures of the century-old cape and its total lack of landscaping (30 feet of gravel between the house and the road).
After seven years of creating soil (local sheep and horses figure in prominently here), multiplying plants (visiting lots of annual plant sales, dividing clumps, starting perennials and annuals from seed), and endless digging, now the place is wrapped in flower gardens.
A much-weathered line of compost bins showed where a vegetable garden must have been. After repeated tilling, removing tenacious perennial weeds, and more manure to break up the clay, now the garden produces lovely everything: corn, tomatoes, and all the usual peas, beans and squash, plus potatoes, pumpkins, asparagus, rhubarb, raspberries, high-bush blueberries, and strawberries. The sunflowers are to cut for in the house, and for the birds.
The house had to change, too. It looks at almost 180 degrees of sky, perched on a ridge with pastures and woods below, and on clear days, a view of Mt. Washington and the Presidential Range in New Hampshire. But much of it had a rubble foundation that had not withstood the northwest winds, so all but the original cape had to come down. The Cobbs recruited Camden architect Chris Glass to design an updated extension that would replicate the old farmhouse as much as possible, while adding amenities like a porch and a deck and a lot more living space inside. The old barn was saved in the nick of time with new supports below and roofing boards above, and will probably see another hundred years.
Of course, people comment on how much work all that must have been. That's one way of looking at it, Sherry says. Mostly, it's been a joy.

Every second Sunday of May, its mother's day.
Wait, wait, i got a joke.
Wait, wait, i got a joke.
"Knock Knock"
"Who's there?"
"Mom who?"
"Your mother la, open the door."
Get it, get it? I know it's lame but the point is its Mother's day!
Mother, ahh, the word itself is beautiful.
She carried us in her womb for 9 months, brought us into this world, made us the centre of her world, and brought us up till today. She has taught us a billion of stuff, but here are a few important things she taught us.
Mother, ahh, the word itself is beautiful.
She carried us in her womb for 9 months, brought us into this world, made us the centre of her world, and brought us up till today. She has taught us a billion of stuff, but here are a few important things she taught us.
1. Survive.
"Don't sit too close to the TV, or you will lose your eyesight". I'm sure all of us have heard this at some point in time in our lives. She had taught us a few survival tips to survive this cray-cray world. She taught us to be nice at all times. She taught us to deal with our sibling and people around us amicably. She comforted us when a family member has passed on and helped us to overcome depression. She taught us that life is about moving on from pain and dusting off that guy that dumped you. She taught us that a messy room is a big no-no because you won't be able to study or eat, or it's simply unpleasant to the eye and who knows what might be living under that pile of trash, a snake or something?
2. Eat healthy.
Remember when your mum force-feeds your vegetables? And tells you to empty your plate because "people in Africa are starving and don't have anything to eat? But then, occasionally she makes us our favourite biryani or char kuey teow. Then as we grew, she even gave us a few tips to make simple good meals when in desperation kicks in so that our meals wouldn't always be at the mamaks. Well, when I think back about it, before I came to MMU, my mum taught me a few dishes which actually came in handy.
P.S. don't forget to eat your fruits and drink lots of water, hot weather la,ah boy and ah girl!
3. Study.
Exams like UPSR, PMR, SPM remind me of when my mum would lovingly wake me up, haha, just kidding, I mean to push me into the bathroom, pour freezing cold water on my face so that I would wake up and study for my exam. However, she would make me a glass of milo or coffee and constantly check on me so that I don't doze off into Lala land. From ABC to 123 to whatever scripted in the chemistry textbook, mothers have been an important figure in helping us ace our examinations. It is either her motivation or her constant yammering on how near the exams are. She has been there with us, for us.
4. Meaning of true love
She is the one who taught us the true meaning of love. Maybe it was the way she treated our father, the way she treated the rest of our family but admit it, Mother's are the best example when it comes to showing love.
I remember when I found out I was adopted and that didn't change a thing because from when she chose me as one of her daughters and care for all my needs and giving me a family, she provided me with all the love and care a child needs. She went out of her might to do whatever I required, be it education, medical necessities or something as simple as just being there as a loving mother. Though we may not share the same blood but she taught me, true love. Tell me who else could do that?
Be grateful for having your mother. She loves you a lot. Send her a card, a handmade card. I will kill y'all if you just send her a WhatsApp message. Come on, she deserves something better for all that she has done. Happy Mother's Day.

Jimmy started out as Uncle Red, but has progressed into 'Squatch' among our nieces and nephews which is short for Uncle Sasquatch. Fitting, no?
Snapshots from the Farm
Sometimes having friends in low places speaks to the character of company kept. Other times it's literal in that those friends live in a handmade cabin in the valley of the Spoon River on an off grid farm mere miles from where I grew up. Tim and his family are full time homesteaders who raise and forage for the food they consume and organically farm half of their full 30+ acres. They've mentored Jimmyredhed and I as we work to establish our aspiring urban homestead and have become dear friends in the process.
We retreated to the countryside over Memorial Day weekend to breathe in, let go, and just be. Jimmy's parents as well as mine joined us for our time at the farm. We worked to grind wheat for our pancakes, shook cream into butter, and Tim taught Jimmyredhed the process of taking beautiful, organic, free range chickens from farm to table. When the brilliant country sky dipped below the trees and the fire died down we retreated to the hayloft at day's end.
I'm still processing our time at our friends' farm and the experience of watching a chicken going from a living breathing animal to respectfully killed, skillfully cleaned, and tastefully prepared over the fire. I'll share more on this experience soon.

#675: Ready Player One / Top 5 Movie Homages / FS Madness Final
Is there a four-hour cut of READY PLAYER ONE? Adam and guest host Tasha Robinson (TheVerge.com, The Next Picture Show) have no idea, but it would help explain some of the narrative shortcuts in Spielberg's visually impressive adaptation of the Ernest Cline bestseller. The good news about the story's leap to the big screen is an improvement on the fun, but slight source material and some electrifying moments of nostalgia-fueled fun. Adam and Tasha also go on an Easter Egg hunt of sorts, with their Top 5 Movie Homages (that is, movies referencing other movies), including a movie-length Tarantino homage that gobsmacks Adam when Tasha points it out. All that, plus the championship round of Filmspotting Madness.

Life expectancy now exceeds 80 years in most EU countries reveals "Health at a Glance: Europe 2016", a European Commission/OECD joint report, published on 23 November 2016. However, this record-high life expectancy is not always matched by healthy life years. Around 50 million people in the EU suffer from several chronic diseases, and more than half a million people of working age die from them every year, representing an annual cost of some 115 billion EUR for EU economies. The report is a first step in the Commission's "State of Health in the EU" cycle, which aims to support Member States in their efforts towards better knowledge and stronger evidence-based policy making. This video summarises the main findings of the report and explains the next steps in the "State of Health in the EU" cycle.

Billennium obtained the EU funding
As part of the competition supporting enterprise investments in research and innovation, Billennium received 100 points for its application and a grant in the amount of PLN 1,967,781.25.
The purpose of the EU program is to support the knowledge-based economy. Funding is provided for a project whose purpose is to develop a video-verification technology based on biometric analysis. From the business side, funding will allow for the implementation of products from the Paperless family, such as Paperless Trust and a new product: Virtual Branch.
Paperless Trust is a platform of trusted services. Its main components include remote confirmation of identity through videoconference, generation and storage of signature certificates and a cloud remote signature.
Virtual Branch is a tool that connects a customer and the company, excluding individual service points. Banks, insurance companies and the medical care industry may be the target recipients of the product. The product allows, among others, for video conferencing with a consultant having selected competences, including using a mobile application and co-browsing (which is sharing a web browser with editing option).
The products are distinguished by the possibility of signing contracts and other documents directly in the tool, which is possible thanks to the video verification functionality that gives temporary electronic identity.
"In the face of global digital transformation, we want to use new technologies to create services that will bring new value and quality to our customers. Video solution based products provide many opportunities to improve communication within the company and in the customer service process. These are also products that contribute to the reduction of paper consumption and even its total elimination in line with the idea of sustainable development and environmental impact control." – says Piotr Aftewicz, Product Member at Billennium
