COMICS: Adam Hughes vs. Womankind
Big news from the front lines!!! Hang on to your hats kids, this one is going to knock your socks, shoes, teeth and face right freaking off due to the life-altering message that I have to bring to you to-day!!! It's huge. Big. Pearl Harbour has been invaded, JFK has been assasinated and we've found life on Mars (and they've already sent AN INVASION FORCE!!!), but you won't give a hot-damn about any of those things after what I tell you!!!
Feminists are pissed at the comics industry.
In the immortal words of Martin Lawrence, "This shit just got real."
So, we've come across another example of an industry that is perhaps not as progressive as it should be, or even as it claims to be on some days. Women are objectified, brutalized and otherwise disrespected within fictional narratives in sequential graphic (and in this case, statue) form. Perhaps these predominantly male artists really do hate women. Perhaps they have an agenda to destroy the minds of our children (someone please think of the children), with all respect between the genders gradually dissolving until an all-out war of the genders consumes this planet (someone please think of the rainforest), ironically mirroring a comiclike dystopian storyline.
Artists Adam Hughes (the guy that made the statue in question) had some things to say on the subject:
"My idea was pretty simple, I thought – classic Mary Jane, from the days when Peter and MJ were boyfriend and girlfriend, and she's found his Spider-Man costume in the laundry basket... She's not [actually] doing his laundry, because I don't know anybody that does laundry in a basket on a table. Even if you don't have a washing machine, you'd do the laundry in the sink."
But what of the sexually suggestive pose, Adam?
"Well, Mary Jane isn't a superhero, so you can't really do anything with her that's not some version of her just standing there... That's pretty much all I was shooting for. Yeah, she's sexy, yeah, she's dressed like a sexy chick…but look at her history – that's how she's been portrayed for years, even when she's not doing chores. Mary Jane is a bit of a bimbo. She's been a supermodel and a dancer, an actress and a model…so I gave her a cute, sexy moment."
To be entirely honest, it's nothing that we haven't seen before. Frequenting local comic shops, I see things like this all the time, and don't think much of it. These statues aren't marketed towards kids, and they're certainly not marketed to reflect the sum perspective on real women from those in the comics industry. I don't personally know anyone that owns these sort of things, and I imagine that Hughes' reasoning makes perfect sense to those hardcore fans that collect
statuettes and the like because of an aesthetic preference (which I assume is tied to some kind of historical or nostalgic appreciation).
However, playing the Devil's Advocate, one could argue that a historical appreciation for a particular cartoon aesthetic amounts to the same as having blackface statues in your yard. Frank Miller is no-freaking-torious for using a film noir aesthetic in his comics, and I'm honestly never sure if this is because he thought those things were cool when he was a kid, or if he actually thinks all women are whores.
Hughes comments on the typical portrayal of women in comics:
"You draw what you like and I like beautiful women. It's weird because I did a poster of Heroines of the DC Universe for DC Comics a few years back and I was up there looking at proofs of the poster and this one woman who works there came up and said, 'Oh, my God! Look at that. No woman is built like that.' She was pointing at the way I drew Catwoman. 'No woman has a waist that small! Totally unreal.' This must have been a low blood sugar day for me. I didn't have my Wheaties, I don't know. I was just in a pissy mood and said, 'You know what, I don't look like Superman, but I don't go around bitching about it.' [laughter] And it's true."
Taking the human form to an extreme has been the hallmark of comics illustrations since the idea of the superhero originated (something that comic-based films have struggled with). This enhances the narrative because these characters can't possibly be real, and neither can most of the situations they encounter. There are exceptions to this, where a semi-realistic human form is used for characters encountering the difficulties of the real world. However, how many kids want to read about the real world?
(I seem to be coming back to the idea of children and comics perhaps a little much for this post, but be sure that I do have a larger point about that for a later entry.)
I believe that the majority of the mass-media-attention seeking "feminists" are not really seeing the real problem (and I never denied there was one). They criticise the human form as it's represented in comic books, but the real issue is in the narrative. The devil is in the details my friends, and I don't believe that anyone who talks about comics on Oprah or The View hasn't read a comic book since puberty, if that. (For those of you curious enough, there are certainly many female fans who are actually comic readers asking for a more progressive industry who have many good points to be made.)
For those of us who do frequent the local comic shops, maybe we are sick of the grisly fate that many a female companion has suffered. It has been the stuff of legend within the comics industry since Women In Refrigerators came around, and maybe enough is enough. If not because girls don't want to see it, then because at times it's simply not compelling storytelling. Why kill female characters? Hell, why kill any character? A big reason is that readers haven't responded well to characters that are, for lack of a better word, shite. Many characters of questionable quality tend to be women, unfortunately.
The real issue, I think, is not that the (primarily male) comic writers hate women, it's that they don't have a clue HOW to write compelling female characters. I'm not a woman, and I have no idea what their internal motivating factors would be in a fictional context. There are a scant few male writers who can write a female character as well as thier male ones, and I believe this to be the problem.
Joss Whedon is one of the few writers around today with a very progressive attitude and the actual ability to write Kitty Pryde such that girls (and guys) can identify an sympathize with her on the same level that young boys have felt about Spider-Man for the last forty-five years. He seems to get that to write a flawed female character, you do not necessarily need to paint her as "the victim" or the polar-opposite "woman warrior." After all, what kind of range would real people (in tights) have if this was all they were allowed to be? Brian Michael Bendis' run on Ultimate Spider-Man is of a similar situation, with absolutely compelling female characters supporting Peter Parker in a way that has never been done in the mainstream Marvel Universe.
In short, the problem is always less than what you've been told it is, but more than nothing. Maybe someday Stephanie Brown will get a memorial in the bat-cave too.
For some more discussion on this, check here. As always, let the comments be your battleground.

Why is SoCal Tech Taking on the Famous Silicon Valley?
Some people thought that all of the innovative tech comes from Silicon Valley.
You have to know that it is not true, there is another place that have great innovative tech as well.
You have to know that SoCal is moving closer and closer to Silicon Valley. Over the past few years, it has been clear that the Bay Area has been dominating the tech scene. SoCal cities have been pushing through and have been making Silicon Valley worry about competition.
How in the world is SoCal tech making the great Silicon Valley worry about competition. You have to know more about the whole tech world and business world being fused together to create the economy these days.
People have to understand that there will be a lot of things you have to go through when you are looking for the best information in the area, it is not easy trying to look for the while obviously, the number of good best information are just too much too have a look at each one, the option to do tight now, because of today's era, research is always a good thing to do when you are looking for the most informative one.
You have to know that with technology constantly upgrading, an abundance of resources is being followed through.
There are a lot of schools that are on top of the food chain when it comes to teaching modern technology and these schools are all in Southern California. This means that a huge number of tech developers and engineers will be coming from Southern California.
An example is that the founder of certain tech innovations right now are coming from the schools in Southern California, Marc Benioff founder of salesforce, Sean Rad founder of Tinder and Aaron Levie, founder of Box all attended USC. You need to know that the founder of The Honest Company and Uber came from the same school, Travis Kalanik from UCLA, founder of Uber and Brian Lee, founder of The Honest Company also coming from UCLA in Southern California.
For those people who think that only those with talent will thrive in the tech community are all wrong. Without the funds to start off your company or your tech innovation, you will never be able proceed.
You need to know that the only way you can start with the business is to apply for a business loan in California. If you are lucky enough, you can have an angel investor. The network of funding in LA is slowly getting a stable footing in the business by the minute. Troy Carter, Ashton Kutcher, Paige Craig, and Mark Suster are all investors that have already set their sights on Los Angelos investing.
This is aim to help the people in SoCal with E-commerce.

The Luck Of The Irish At Whistler Resort
Sometimes, it's not just the luck of the Irish.
If you're coming from the UK or Ireland, there are some things to think about before heading off on your big adventure.
First off, you will need the essentials.
Decent ski gear is a must. Bring warm clothing. A hat and gloves, some waterproof shoes or
boots, a scarf and a good warm jacket. Of course you can always find
what you need in the many shops the Whistler Village has to offer.
Be sure to get good insurance coverage if you are planning on hitting the slopes. In the event of an accident, Mountain Rescue will take you to a Health Clinic and they charge an obligatory $570 fee for admission. Good insurance coverage should be taken seriously.
Although there are many places to rent ski equipment, you may want to consider buying ski gear. It's usually cheaper to buy skis or a snowboard from the rental shop if you are staying for more than two weeks. It can cost close to the same amount to rent equipment than it does to purchase your gear outright.
Subscribe to Whistler Woodrun Lodge news and remember to research your Whistler vacation before you leave home.

Do you hesitate to say Merry Christmas out of fear it may offend somebody? Do you consider yourself politically correct or incorrect?
A sheriff in Harris County Georgia posted a warning sign – "we are politically incorrect." "We say Merry Christmas, God bless America, in God we trust…we salute our troops and our flag – if this offends you – leave."
Would you want a sign like that in your town? Do you think political correctness is necessary or has it gone too far? Do you worry about offending people with simple greetings? How do we balance 1st amendment rights with political correctness?
To better understand some of this I invited Ari Cohn, attorney & author with FIRE (Foundation for Individual Rights in Education) onto the show to share some thoughts. Is this important? Or is this the way things have always been?
"Humans have always had a tendency to want to shut up people that disagree with them; we've spent the better part of our history trying to conquer that. It is a vitally important issue, particularly in our nation's colleges and universities, which are supposed to be the incubators for ideas and developing critical thinking skills and giving us the next generation of people who will lead this country. So to see all of these demands for censorship and attacks on free speech is certainly disheartening, although it is certainly nothing new."
I've read about micro-aggressions and trigger warnings… what are those and what do we do about them?
"Micro-aggressions are statements that are not made with any intent to be offensive but which are perceived as racially 'aggressive,' like asking someone where they're from if they appear to not be from the area… which maybe makes some kind of small assumption on the part of the speaker but is not made with any malintent. Trigger warnings were originally devised for purposes of PTSD in terms of people who had been in war, and later migrated to people who had been victims of sexual assault that may have flashbacks hearing or seeing a certain thing.
Now, it's migrated onto college campuses, asking for content warnings on anything that someone might consider offensive or unsettling or challenging or difficult, which is particularly distressing, given that college is the place to be exploring and confronting challenging ideas."
So how do we strike that balance of exercising our right to free speech and not being unneccessarily offensive? To hear the rest of the conversation with Ari, and your calls, click the link below.

We never learn exactly what ails Frownland's protagonist: a sweaty, rambling mess named Keith who constantly rubs his face and trips over verbal potholes. (For the sake of actor Dore Mann, let's hope this extreme psychological condition is merely a Streep-like exercise.) Keith sleeps next to his oven in cramped Brooklyn squalor; he's a terrible door-to-door salesman and when his fed-up roommate calls him a "burbling troll," you may find a trickle of honesty has suddenly escaped from the film's vise. But there also comes a point when Keith becomes more sympathetic than anyone else on screen—a big step forward for a character who's this hard to stand.
Frownland, written, directed and edited in grimy 16mm by the tenacious Ronald Bronstein, has been shoehorned into the manufactured "mumblecore" moment; it certainly features a lot of mumbling. But unlike Andrew Bujalski's scenier Mutual Appreciation, Bronstein's movie is decidedly uncool, more like an outer-borough Gummo. For all of Keith's excruciating splutters and snot-laden breakdowns, he occupies the center of an extreme version of New York life: the anxiety of paying rent and utilities, dealing with petty bosses, finding true companionship. You wish the amateurish shooting was less pronounced, but Frownland has real issues on its squirming brain.

"The Land I and II"
Each Painting 16"x16"x2" Oil on Cradled Panel
by Ruth Andre
While in Jackson, Wyoming my husband and I had an opportunity to tour a beautiful contemporary home. We both loved the design of both the exterior and interior of the house. Approaching this lovely home was softened by lush fescue grasses and natural metal fencing. The house was a relaxed mixture of textures and color. A handwoven textile and colorful paintings adorned the walls. The furniture colors and cabinetry were subdued but represented the surrounding landscape giving a feeling of sun and shadow. The home tour was a true highlight of our trip that we totally enjoyed. The two paintings above have been in progress for a few days and as they submerged from their painted form the colors of a day in Jackson came forward. It has been, "A Painting Day".

What's trending in 2015
Interior and Exterior doors are going taller , wider , and more contempary . Therma Tru has been displaying 8-foot entry doors with an expanded glass selection that includes modern leaded glass and textured glass inserts with moldings and bold color options . Glass door walls that fold back for access to outdoor spaces . The strap hinges accent the modern style & enhance curb appeal .
Today , we will talk about the differences between solid core wood doors & steel doors .
Solid core wood doors are made of a thin exterior wood grain layer that encloses larger layers or plies of wood . The middle of the door contains polyurethane insulation . The main downfall with solid core doors is the deterioration of the outer veneer of wood. If you fail to seal & refinish periodically , the door won't last long . Furthermore , the number of times you can stain & refinish the door is limited due to the thin outer layer .
Steel doors are used more than any other type of exterior door in residential construction applications . The price is reasonable & the metal skin is far more durable than wood . Steel doors must be finished with paint instead of a stain . You need to ask your salesperson the thickness of metal. The higher the number , the thinner the steel . Some home stores will sell a 24 gauge residential door , however don't make this mistake. You'll need a 22 gauge door at a minimum .
One other piece of information you should know is that a high end priced name like Pella doesn't equate to a higher quality & better made door . Check with the retailer to see if the company builds everything in house . Some door companies have their doors & frames manufactured somewhere else. Then they install there own glass & hardware packages so they can use their name on the product .
Therma Tru , Jeldwen , Stanley , & Reliabuit are durable & of high quality .

Rachel Weisz, The Final Mummy Movie....Why didn't she do it? I was quite disappointed that she wasn't in the last Mummy movie, I can understand being tired of it but doing one final one for the fans would of been nice....even Brendan did it. Maybe there were too many projects at the time?
Rachel Weisz, Oz The Great and Powerful
It said.. Rachel Weisz wanted way more money than the producers were offering...Wow I just lost some respect for her. I can understand wanting a raise after doing two movies, but not budging at all for the fans and not meeting somewhere in the middle is ridiculous to me. I can't stand when people become so selfish like that where they won't meet half way.
Finally, I totally understood why Rachel Weisz didn't do it at the time. But years later, with the franchise done, it kind of pisses me off. If it really was a negotiation issue, shame on the producers.

I got some really cool stuff, even though I majorly overspent ;) Here's my 'loot':
It doesn't look much, but I spent over £50!
Village Flower Stall
They only had two of these left, and they were discontinuing it so I was really lucky to get this! It's very cute and got lots of detail so I really recommend it if you can get hold of one!
JP Trellis & Ivy set
I got two of these sets; one was in the 'Bargain Bucket' because it was missing the flowers, but I got it anyway because I wanted the extra ivy. It really looks great on my Willow (Beechwood) Hall & Extension. (Note: the photo only shows part of the set, I will put a photo of the full set with the ivy and baskets on Willow Hall soon)
JP Dresses
I bought these for the Dress Shop I'm decorating. They are both really good quality and will fill some of the spare hangers in the shop. (Note: the sets also included shoes and an accessory e.g. a bag or hat)
Dappledawn Fawn Rabbits
If you've been reading my blog since the beginning, you'll know the Dappledawn's are my absolute all time favourite family. Sadly, three out of the four family members have been chewed up by the 'hounds of Sylvania' (my two lovely dogs who have an unfortunate taste for small, chewy Sylvanians). Mine were originally the vintage ones, and I couldn't find any decent condition replacements on eBay so I decided to replace them with the newer Flair ones. My favourite figure, Tilly Dappledawn, has really faded over time. Here's a comparison between them: (Tomy on the left, Flair on the right)
The shape and size of the two figures are exactly the same, but the wear on the older Tilly is quite obvious. The newer figure is softer, fluffier, and a lot darker. It's amazing how much she's faded, and I hadn't even noticed! I will be renaming the new Tilly, and the new family will shortly be moving into Willow Hall permanently. The vintage Tilly will stay with me and come with me everywhere as usual :)
Sleepy Time Bed
I didn't really need another bed, but the covers on this were so sweet, and my mum really wanted me to get it, so I just had to buy it :) (The covers need ironing)
JP Kitchen Cookery Set
I love the 'old-fashioned' feel of this set, it fits in perfectly with my village. It's got lots of little pieces and details.
Thistlethorn Mouse Baby
I have the 80's Tomy parents, and when I saw little Barry Thistlethorn, I knew that Chester and Willow would love a little baby! He's the 90's Flair release, but he fits in fine :) Isn't he so cute?
All in all, very pleased with my purchases :)

Atelier Firis Coming to North America in Spring 2017
More alchemy goodness.
Atelier Firis is the latest entry in the popular Atelier JRPG series, and Gust and Koei Tecmo have just announced that the game will be coming to North America this year. This entry takes place after the events of Atelier Sophie, and will expand a little more on the narrative introduced there.
'Atelier Firis: The Alchemist and the Mysterious Journey takes the long-running franchise to greater heights with a brand new option to choose which narrative path to follow. After passing the exam, players are able to follow three different paths that focus on the three key aspects of the Atelier series – Alchemy, Combat and Character relationships. Choice plays a major role in the events that can be experienced throughout the game, with the ability to switch between the three paths at any point during this grand adventure.'
The game doesn't have a set release date just yet, but it will be made available on the PS4 and the PS Vita. We'll keep you updated as more info comes our way.

House of Waters' music is both complex and easy to enjoy, a musical exploration that invites listeners to open themselves to new sounds. One of those sounds is that of Max's instrument, the hammered dulcimer, a percussion/stringed instrument that takes years of study and spans dozens of cultures around the globe. Most often associated with traditional American and Irish folk music, Max has taken the instrument in entirely new directions. "I've been playing it since I was 7," says Max. "And my folks reminded me I first fell in love with it when I was 2: I saw it performed at an exhibit opening, walked up to it, sat underneath and just listened to it for hours."
Moto had a similar experience with the 6-stringed bass and it has defined his life ever since. His study of Western Classical music, Japanese traditional music and the African inspired musical sensibilities of South America, coupled with his undeniable virtuosity, adds a breath-taking element to the group's total sound. Luke studied with the legendary Hamza El Din, while Max studied with traditional musicians in Senegal and continues to learn from Pandit Shivkumar Sharma, India's master of the santoor (an ancestor of the hammered dulcimer.) "That experience," says Max, "opened me up to a whole separate world of traditions and philosophical thought." Joining forces has given each artist an opportunity to stretch their chosen instruments, to take risks to expand both the music and themselves. In the process, audiences cannot help but be thrilled by the enormity of their sound.
The album House of Waters marks the band's first record for GroundUP, the artist-friendly label started by Snarky Puppy's Michael League. "There was a lot of mutual respect and interest there," says Max. "I think we bring something unique to their roster." He laughs. "Not a lot of dulcimer trios out there."

Nordic Spirit Symposium
Vikings in America and First Contact

I was somewhat worried about the flooding last Saturday, because I was travelling by rail, after a worrying wait at Bristol, I eventually got to Bath, only an hour later than expected.
However getting back home was quite an ordeal, I had been directed to change at Westbury, but for some reason my train (20:30 to Exeter) wasn't listed on the departure screen, although trains before and after were listed. I asked the customer service guy, and he told me to just catch the next train to Exeter. I went to the correct platform, checked the platform's information screen and got on the train. Despite these precautions I ended up travelling towards London and only discovered I was going the wrong way when I was nearly at Reading. I asked the guard what to do, I was directed to the Station Supervisor's Office at Reading (which wasn't labelled as such, took ages to find it) to find out how to get home. Because it was getting quite late, the only train heading in the right direction was a train to Bristol, so I took that train (23:00) and arrived in Bristol at 00:30. There were no further trains leaving Bristol that night, and I assumed no buses either, so I went to the nearest hotel to get a room for the night.
I woke up fairly late (for me at least) had breakfast and explained the situation to the woman at the ticket office, and so didn't have to buy another ticket to get home, however I must have just missed a train to Exeter, because I had to wait another hour before the train arrived. I took a taxi home from the station and got home about noon.
On a more postive note, the Christmas meals with both my Asperger support group and the Devon Wildlife Trust (who I've been doing volunteer work for) were both very enjoyable.

Consuelo Floris dined on Wed, 27 Dec 2017
Really nice location, beautiful restaurant. Service slow, our waiter was doing section, runner and bartender, so he didn't put so much attention in the maintenance of the table, not only us even the table next to us, left with empty glasses and plates for ages. I guess not enough staff. Food was good, specially the onion soup, the range valley strip loin too dry. I Suggest to roster more staff and to put a little bit more effort.
Anonymous dined on Fri, 15 Dec 2017
Service and parking was great. We came as we saw it had one multiple food awards and had very high expectations. While service was up to it, the food was disappointing, we thought. We shared the below plates between 2. 1. hiramasa yellow tail kingfish sashimi, pea puree, compressed cucumber, apple snow - $24 - this was very nice 2. memories of mums french onion soup - $18 - again, lovely 3. hapuku cooked in chicken fat, butter braised turnip, walnut cream, jus gras - $28 - nice again, but not WOW worthy for us 4. (can't remember full name) but some sort of lamb - $? - this was where it went downhill for us, it was extremely salty which in retrospect we should had talked to our waitress about but we were worried it would had been rude to complain. This was the dish we enjoyed the least and wouldn't get again. 5. 150g rangers valley beef strip loin, horseradish emulsion, barbecued kipfler potatoes, soured onions -$ 42 - While the steak was divine, we found the seasoning on the veges too heavy and again quite salty. 6. flavours of lemon lime and bitters, lemonade marshmallow, bitters meringue, frozen lime cream, lemon myrtle sorbet - $14 - this was our favourite dish, we almost got a second one. and this one really redeemed the previous faults. In summary, bit disappointed from our originally very high expectations. Dessert comes superbly recommended.
Alex dined on Fri, 20 Oct 2017
The food was presented beautifully but unfortunately our mains were luke warm and the duck was a strange texture, they assured me it was cooked when I questioned it but I would have liked it cooked more so it wasn't gelatinous.

Intel's well-known, society-changing chips aren't the only source of impressive memories at this company.
Chip king Intel is like most high-tech firms: too busy setting a rapid pace developing products to reflect much on its past. But in 1980, only a dozen years into the company's existence, longtime employee Jean Jones urged company executives to preserve Intel's history.
What began as a volunteer project has grown into a 10,000-square-foot multimedia museum, which reopened Friday in a new location at corporate headquarters. Housed in the Robert Noyce Building, named in honor of the Intel co-founder who died in 1990, the museum features many hands-on exhibits, a classroom, historical photos, and some 45,000 computer chips.
Jones, who was secretary to Intel cofounder Gordon Moore, scrounged the first museum artifacts from fellow employees and her own garage stash of souvenirs. The first museum opened in 1983 for the company's 15th anniversary, but it has grown through the years, and the new museum is much more extensive.
The most striking aspect of the exhibits is their dramatic illustration of how the industry has evolved in 31 years.
For example, Intel started producing chips from two-inch silicon wafers, then grew them to eight-inch wafers, which were long in use. Today, the plants are converting to 12-inch wafers. A sample of each is on display.
In 1968, Intel's revenues were $2,672; today, they top $26.3 billion. Intel's offices have grown from 25,000 square feet to a total of 27.9 miles worldwide. The number of employees has grown from 100 in 1968 to 64,500 today.
Proliferating Bunnies
Also showcased is the evolution of the head-to-toe protective gear worn by workers in fabrication plants. Also known as bunny suits, the Gore-Tex suits were popularized in 1997 by Intel advertisements featuring "dancing bunny people" in glittering lame' versions of the outfit.
The predecessor to the bunny suit was a thigh-length blue cotton smock that workers could personalize with embroidery. Peace signs and marijuana leaves were popular appliques, Jones recalls.
The current, white design is modeled by "Gort," a mannequin who has appeared in Intel's museum for several years. It takes 47 steps to get properly suited for clean-room work today, including two layers of gloves.
So what's with the "bunny" moniker?
Early versions of the suits were nylon, and looked more "bunnyesque," says Becky Raisch, the museum's visitor services manager who started working in an Intel fabrication plant 22 years ago.
"As the story goes, somebody saw a bunch of suited workers standing together and said, 'You look like a bunch of bunny rabbits,' and it stuck," Raisch says. "Now, they look more like space suits, but we still call them bunny suits."
Students who tour the Intel Museum can take home an Intel bunny doll. (And big kids can buy their bunny people dolls in the obligatory gift shop).
Hands-on History
The hands-on exhibits are clearly designed for kids. An exhibit explaining binary code invites you to push giant buttons and punch out the sequence that will spell your name in binary. You'll find explanations of how chip manufacturers convert sand into silicon, which is then made into wafers and then chips. The PC Gallery and Internet Gallery offer workstations with games, DVD movies, and quizzes.
The museum was always a part-time vocation for Jones, who retired in 1996 and now volunteers there.
Over the years, Jones has become acquainted with many pioneers of Silicon Valley and the industry. "I have so many longstanding friendships [from Intel]," she says.
Computer museums are becoming more common, as the microcomputer industry enters its fourth decade. Digital Equipment Corporation contributed much of its corporate museum to the Computer Museum in Boston. Intel has donated artifacts to the Tech Museum of Innovation in San Jose. Microsoft also maintains corporate history exhibits on its campus.
Intel has become a historic site, acknowledges Andy Grove, cofounder and chairman. He says the company moved the Intel sign further into the parking lot, because "we were afraid people were going to get run over posing for pictures in the street."
Grove, along with Moore and other Intel founding staff, led some of the first guided tours at the new museum's opening. Admission is free, and the facility is open from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. weekdays, except holidays.

Today I will not be posting a Sneak Peak but will be honouring the passing of my grandmother Cecilia (Moore) Dunse. Born in 1910, Manawaki, Quebec. She lived a full life marrying my Grandfather Earl Dunse and celebrated many happy married years until his death in 1993. She raised two out of four children during the Second World War, and later another daughter and son, 4 children in all. She will be sadly missed by 13 grandchildren, 7 great-grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren.
She now joins my grandfather, cousin Gail, my sister Karen and cousin Vaughan.
We will be celebrating her life today with a small wake and funeral, followed by a service in the chapel.
The following are some pictures that I had which I would love to share with you.

New Delhi, Apr 9 (PTI) Five hotel bars in the Aerocity area near the IGI Airport which were shutdown after a Supreme Court order banning sale of liquor within 500 metres of highways, will reopen soon as a Delhi government committee has found they are beyond the distance limit.
A four-member committee of the Delhi Excise Department has recommended restoring their licences after it found that these hotel bars fall beyond 500 metres of the national highway.
The committee was formed last week to look into grievances of some restaurants and bar-owners whose shops had to shut after the Supreme Court order.
Some bar-owners claimed their establishments were beyond the 500-metre limit set by the apex court. They had also made a representation before the Excise Commissioner.
Sources said the committee has submitted its interim report wherein it recommends restoration of licences of the five hotel bars.
The committee will submit final report in some time as it is yet to verify the claims of some of the affected hotel and restaurants bars.
"The Committee again measured distance of the affected bars from highway and it was found that they are located beyond 500 metres from the national highway," an official said, adding they will reopen in next few days.
The official, however, did not reveal the names of the hotel bars that will soon be able to serve liquor. Sources, however, said these are four-star and five-star hotels.
Over 100 liquor vends, restaurant and hotel bars located within 500 metres of national and state highways had been shut down in the city following the court order.
Last month, the Supreme Court banned sale of liquor within 500 metres of state and national highways including in bars, pubs and restaurants. PTI BUN TIR

Elaine Paige and Nigel Havers nominated for panto awards
Nigel Havers, Elaine Paige and Danny Mac are nominated for this year's Great British Pantomime Awards.
The awards, now in their second year, celebrate pantomimes across the UK.
Paige is nominated for best female baddie, for her turn in Dick Whittington at the London Palladium. The category also includes Vikki Stone, for the Lyric Hammersmith's Jack and the Beanstalk, and Zoe Birkett, who is up for Snow White at the Darlington Hippodrome.
Havers is also nominated for Dick Whittington at the Palladium, in the supporting male category, while the Palladium's production itself is nominated for pantomime of the year.
Danny Mac is up for the leading male award, for the Birmingham Hippodrome's Cinderella, opposite others including Charlie Stemp, also in Dick Whittington at the Palladium.
Awards co-founder Sam Munday-Webb said: "We knew that it was never going to be an easy job to see and judge such a vast array of productions in such a short amount of time. Since we launched in 2016, we have been very lucky to have the industry behind us supporting the awards. They are being seen as something incredibly positive and filling a gap in our industry."
In total, there are 20 prizes, which will be presented on April 15 at the New Wimbledon Theatre, at a ceremony hosted by Christopher Biggins.

NAVTEX is an international automated direct-printing service for promulgation of navigational and meteorological warnings and other urgent information to ships. It is one of the two principle methods used for broadcasting maritime safety information in accordance with the provisions of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, 1974, as amended. It has been developed to provide a low-cost, simple and automated means of receiving maritime safety information and Search and Rescue alerts on board ships at sea and in coastal waters. The information transmitted may be relevant to all sizes and types of vessel and the selective message-rejection feature ensures that every mariner can receive safety information broadcasts which are relevant to their voyage.
This manual is intended, primarily, for use by maritime Administrations and others concerned with the preparation and broadcasting of maritime safety information. It will also be of interest to seafarers, shipowners and others who need to receive such information in order to safely go about their business at sea.

Blizzard and winter storm warnings have been issued for much of Nebraska as a strong winter storm pushes through the state.
Heavy snow and strong winds have caused blizzard conditions throughout Nebraska, sparing only the far western and southeastern portions of the state.
A winter weather advisory has been issued for those parts of the state not bracing for blizzard conditions.
The National Weather Service forecasts snow and blowing snow causing blizzard conditions for much of the state today. Temperatures will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s. Snow should end this evening, giving way to clearing skies and warmer temperatures the remainder of the week.
Snow accumulations cold vary widely in Nebraska, anywhere from 8 to 18 inches in the direct path of the blizzard. Strong, northwesterly winds could cause white-out conditions, making travel extremely hazardous.
Road conditions are expected to worsen as the day goes on. This morning, highways in the western two-thirds of the state were reported completed covered by snow with the remainder of the roads wet from freezing drizzle ahead of the snow.
Many Nebraska schools cancelled classes. Other activities have also been cancelled as the state hunkers down for the day.
The Nebraska State Patrol issued a hazardous driving conditions warning through Monday.
NSP encourages citizens to follow local snow emergency plans. If possible, avoid travel.
Stay up-to-date on travel conditions through Nebraska 511. The system is available at all times via phone by dialing 511, online here, or Nebraska 511's smartphone app.
Troopers will be on the road to assist any drivers who need help.
The NSP Highway Helpline is available 24 hours. Drivers can reach NSP by dialing *55 from any cell phone. Call 911 for any emergency.
NSP issues the following reminders for motorists traveling in extreme weather conditions:
- Always wear your seat belt and never drive faster than conditions allow.
- Blowing and drifting snow can reduce visibility. Travel only when absolutely necessary.
- If you must travel, use well-traveled routes and give yourself plenty of time to reach your destination. Let others know where you are going, your route, and when you will arrive.
- If you do become stranded while traveling, stay in your vehicle until help arrives. Wind chill and freezing temperatures can be life threatening.
- If your vehicle becomes stuck, run your motor sparingly and keep a window cracked to prevent buildup of carbon monoxide.
- Carry a red flag or bandana in your car and attach it to the outside to signal for help.
- Keep a winter weather survival kit in your vehicle as you travel.

Blog Something
I can't think of anything
It doesn't matter, doesn't have to be much. Just say what you are doing.
Oh well, the croutons left to go to their home yesterday. That's sad but we did have a great time for the last 4 weeks.
I could show that picture of Katy with just a thong on ...
... and a life-jacket.
Or I could write about the annual count down of the top 100 that happens every Australia Day (January 26th) although we will celebrate it on the 28th because that is a Monday.
I think this will be No 1...
It reminds me of China, because I had it on my iPod and would run through the streets playing it. There were also times when I would walk around with my iPod, like through the airport terminal when waiting for a plane. Not speaking the language had the advantage of being able to detach from all around me and just look whilst taking in music. I would pretend everyone was pleasant and all was good with the world.
As far as running, I am in my hibernating bear phase and teaching the scales new numbers to explore past where I would like to be. My 3K time is close to 12 minutes instead of 11 and my long runs need another hour from the 2 I am doing each Saturday. I wonder if her bum is cold on that marble?
Do you think Katy would like bathroom scales for her 40th?
She wants a light box.
I am happy for her to have one, just don't want it to be my present.

Witness life and death through the people locked in time by the ash. Pompei gives a complete and clear picture of every day and social roman life. Vesuvius is an active volcano in a dormant state and is situated on the mountain range of MONTE SOMMA. Known for its famous eruption in 79 DC that destroyed the cities of Pompei and Ercolano. It is also known for having at the base, one of the most famous and advanced observatories for volcanoes (requested by king Ferdinando II of the two Sicilie). Always the center of attention due to the constant re-building located at the base of the volcano. Sorrento is one of the more enchanting cities on the Sorrentina peninsula and a highly sought after tourist stop since the days of the grand tour.

Where Can I watch Zefirelli of the Opera For Free? Now a days there are many sites available for free to watch Zefirelli of the Opera online. Now a days we prefer to watch Zefirelli of the Opera online because for offline first we have to download and then watch it, but for online we can see right now.
Two opera-company promoters persuade a singing farm-girl, Judy Stevens, to pose as an opera singer. This arouses the ire of an easily-aroused opera singer who threatens to expose Judy as a fraud. So, Judy sings the opera in swing-time and yodels the high notes of the arias, all to rousing ovations and the opera company is saved from bankruptcy.
Les Vëpres siciliennes, a five-act opera on a libretto by Auguste Scribe and Charles Duveyrier with music by Giuseppe Verdi, was first staged at the Paris Opàra on 13th June 1855. The subject of the opera was nothing other than an adaptation of a libretto that Scribe had written some years before, Le Duc d'Albe. At first the opera was greeted with great success, even Hector Berlioz, usually far
Opera Heartbeats is a narrative video art - short about up-and-coming Latvian opera singer's emotions before, on and after the stage. The main goal of the crew was to inspect opera as classical art from different point of view. To achieve that we have managed to interact a personality of a young and talented opera artist, vivid personality with dynamic editing style and electronic music which is
In this Italian adult version of Gaston Leroux's immortal novel 'The Phantom of the Opera'an opera house in Venice goes in flames during an opera performance, "killing" a handsome violinist. Years later, a worldwide famed opera singer travels to Venice to sing "La Traviatta" in the very same theater. After seeing an old photograph of the violinist who died, she has strange, erotic dreams of him
An almost daily following of the last stages in the building of the new Opera House in Tel-Aviv, paralleled with the preparations for the premiere of "Boris Godunov", the opera which inaugurated the house. It's a year of tension, racing against tight schedule, public scandals and a sweeping opera production.
A mysterious ghost of the opera has fallen in love with the high spirited soprano singer of the opera house, Christine. She seems to be interested in "The Angel of Music", while at the same time she is in love with Raoul, the Vicomte De Chagny. The ghost will do anything to keep Christine's love for her, whether it's, sabotaging the opera house, or killing man. Begins when an opera ghost terror
An opera troupe in a small town decides to perform Mozart's Don Giovanni. The view behind the scenes uncovers the world of opera without the glitter. A tale of love and disappointment, about music and passionate love-making and about people that live their lives in spite of the opera.
Based on Schiller's play of the same name, Don Carlos was written for the Paris Opàra in 1865-66 in the tradition of a French grand opera. Repeatedly revised and performed in Italian as Don Carlo, the opera is seen here in the version that Verdi prepared for Modena in 1886. In many respects, this is Verdi's most ambitious and most forward-looking work.
Grandma Opera is an original opera Directed by: Kenneth Hughes and Composed by Mark Hart (Crowded House, Supertramp, Ringo Starr) and Sung by soprano diva Suzan Hanson. It is based on an interview with a 94 year old Grandmother that is integrated into the piece. The modern opera with adorations of Grandmothers is just a reminder of where we all come from and will all go to.

Atlantis Opening Party - 21/11/2008
Anyone who is anyone was in Dubai last night for the £15 million opening party of the Atlantis hotel, which was £1 billion in the making. After walking the red carpet in a delicately flowered gown, Kylie Minogue took to the stage at the VVVIP event and entertained the crowd in a succession of Jean Paul Gaultier couture outfits. As one million fireworks erupted overhead, Agyness Deyn wore shimmering sequins and a Lulu Guinness clutch, Mischa Barton took Matthew Williamson as her date and Charlize Theron stunned in a red carpet-sweeping Grecian gown.

Every now and then you come across a model builder who's work is inspiring and innovative. I nominate Paul Washburn as being just such a person. Paul is a skilled modeler who scratch builds nearly everything he needs. I would like to share with you his accomplishments.
When you look at the photo above it is could be an HO or O scale layout since the Southern Pacific locomotives have been imported in these scales. What if you could not buy locomotives in your scale. If you are Paul you just build it. Most of us, myself included, will sit around a complain about the fact that you can't buy something. The way to get what you want is to build it. It may require investing time to learn a new modeling technique but it will yield what you want.
So if you want a SP T-28 like the one on the right, you could roll your own. It is not impossible to do. In fact you don't have to build it in brass you could use plastic with some metal detail castings.
In Paul's case he has invested the time to teach himself how to build steam locomotives with only a few basic machine tools. Metal fabrication is nearly a lost art in our hobby. Seeing work like this makes me want to go out a burn my fingers on brass fabrication.
Here is an under-construction shot of the T-28 boiler. Paul's sheet metal work is better than the Korean factories. The domes and headlight are likely from spare parts from an imported model.
Here is an example of Paul Washburn's versatility as a builder. He built three SP general service gondolas from styrene. What is amazing is the he is very fast in his work. Jimmy Booth had told me that Paul has done pattern work for P-B-L in a few days which would have taken another modeler weeks to complete.
Paul's story is not complete without showing you his layout. He has managed to scratchbuild a whole roster of steam locomotives, structures and rolling stock but also a complete layout.
The layout is housed in a Tuff Shed style building roughly 14′ by 20′ It was installed on a concrete pad, insulated and a HVAC system. Paul's home is in the desert so basement or garage layout room are not typically an option. Once inside the building you will not know that it might have been intended to be a garage or tool shed.
Paul has made good use of all the space afforded by the building while still have a railroad accessible for operation.
The scenery reflects desert southwest. All of the track and switches were handlayed.
I want to thank Paul Washburn for sharing his photos and work. He is a very talented builder who is also a very nice guy. I finally met him at the past O Scale West in May 2017.
If you haven't figured it out yet, Paul models in S scale. It is part of the reason so much is built from scratch. My point is that it is possible to build what you want. It won't happen overnight but persistence will yield what you desire.
Thanks for stopping by,

If you are looking to spread a little extra cheer this holiday season, try adding a little humor to your Christmas card. Your friends and family will receive a variety of cards this year, so sending funny Christmas cards will stand out and are certain to leave a lasting impression. Here are a few ideas that will definitely amuse your recipients:
Choose a card with a comical design. Most card companies offer a selection of funny cards that are able to get a joke across just by looking at the cover. These designs can range from a picture of dog reluctantly wearing reindeer antlers to a comic strip scene of Santa falling down the chimney.
Create your own design. Take a funny family photo or dress your pets up like Santa and upload the image to your card. This is a great way to personalize your card and allows you to showcase your own brand of humor.
Write a funny message inside. There are a number of funny holiday poems and sayings that you can find online to use in your card. You can also come up with your own humorous greeting, but it is a good idea to run it by someone else before including it in the card. You want to be sure that it is funny and not tasteless before you send it out.
