There was a silence in the cavern after his name was said by the Dark Goddess. The power a thick and palatable thing in the air. It only lasted a moment before the singular sound of the drop was added too by the sound of a heavy footfall on the rocks.
Siobhan sat still and waited for the Hunt Master to come to her, she was contemplating all of the things that were going to be said to him, the fate of so very many depended on her exact wording. She had made him, yes, however she did not control him and she had designed it that way. Once the parameters of the Hunt were given, it would continue until the Hunt Master himself decided that it was over. He reported to Siobhan, worshiped her as the Goddess who created him, but in this, he was the absolute and ultimate source of power.
Raising her head from where she stared and casting a glance backward, the Hunt Master was revealed in the glory of what she had made him.
A giant, literal and metaphorical approached her. Cloaked in the blackness of shadow and cover, his head adorned with great antlers of a long-dead beast. He was on an eternal hunt that never ceased, never in the history of time and space would it stop. He approached Siobhan and bent his huge frame with uncanny grace, his knee touching the floor with virtually no sound as it did so. His head bowed low and his black hood and the very shadows themselves fell in front of a face she had never, and would never, see. No one can see when the Hunt is coming, it is the power in it, it is the source of the fear.
Siobhan turned fully, nodding to him, knowing he could see she greeting him as the equal he was in this respect.
"Hunt Master, I have called for you this day because there are beasts that disguise them as other things that need be captured." As she spoke the images of a woman, bones shattered and mangled, sitting and sipping water that brought her life, or at least as close to life as she could maintain. The Hunt Master began to rise, his target, in his mind, chosen. "Stay your movements, Lord, there is a twist to the knife blade of this hunt that you need know. The Hunt Master froze in his movements and Siobhan spoke lowly and quickly, his mind filling with the sights, sounds and smells of each and every member of the tribe that had done this to the girl.
"All of them. Each one in the tribe save her. No mercy, no respite. They will be hunted, culled, slaughtered and collected. Each of their skulls you will bring to me, polished and I will make a throne of them for that young Goddess who does not know who or what she is just yet to sit upon and join me and mine in the governance of the world. On the Darkness that Swallows and Destroys All Things, I bind you to this task until it is completed. Should you fail me, you are Oathbreaker and your power will be broken and your pain limitless.
Siobhan turned away from the Master then, his rise was slow as he made the magic within himself to do what must be done. The wash of it over her was like hot and scalding water, his rage was hers, his anger from her own. She only cocked her head slightly as she heard the sounds of the great steeds enter, the ethereal beasts that carried him to collect the hunted and terrorize those that had not yet been collected.
"Your will be done Great Goddess, so it is I swear." His voice was cracked, from the lack of use, the authority behind it, however, was unquestionable.
The Goddess felt the exit of the colossal amount of power as she was once again left alone, the singular drip of blood her only companion as her eyes sparked with fire and amethyst in pools of forever.

Light Pollution
Two-thirds of Americans cannot see the Milky Way from their backyards and nearly all live in places with measurable light pollution. Dark night skies, for the first time in history, are becoming an extinct phenomenon. Researchers predict that at the current rate of increasing light pollution, by 2025 no dark skies will remain in the continental United States. The two main culprits are light and air pollution.
Light, a natural and harmless part of our world normally, is out of place at night. Light pollution is defined as the illumination of the night sky caused by artificial light, a problem born with the invention of the light bulb only 125 years ago. Most light pollution, or sky glow, is completely unnecessary and is caused by bad lighting fixtures. Many lights installed in homes, businesses, street lights and billboards are too bright and aimed upwards or sideways. The light scatters through the atmosphere above and brightens the night sky, diminishing the view of it.
Air pollution also decreases night sky visibility, just like it does in the daytime. Air pollution particles increase the scattering of light in the atmosphere, increasing sky glow.
Great Basin National Park offers astronomy programs throughout the summer. Check out the calendar for a list of scheduled events.
More Than Just Aesthetics
National Park Service Night Sky Team
National Parks harbor some of the last remaining dark skies in the country. The National Park Service Night Sky Team was formed in response to the alarming increase of light pollution even in National Parks. The team documented light from distant cities affecting night skies over 200 miles away. The lights of Las Vegas, Nevada, for example, were visible from 8 different national parks.
The Night Sky Team visited Great Basin National Park in October 2004 and 2005 and tested the light levels to determine the darkness of the night skies. The results? Great Basin's night skies are among the darkest in the country, providing visitors a rare opportunity for stargazing!

The problem with Time
Many people have problem with time. When we think of stuff I would like to do, see, experience etc we end up with a sigh and consternation – there is not enough time. How could we possibly fit all those things in to this week or day. It just not possible.
We are all equal.
Looking at various successful people on the web, in the news etc. I couldn't stop thinking how do they do it. Where do they get the time? But the thing is we are equal, everyone of us has the same 24h a day, 168 hours a week. These amounts are fixed, you can't add anything to them can't subtract. There are no people with extra hours in their days. In order to make the most out of the time you need to learn how to play with time.
The Game
Have you ever heard of zero sum game? This is the game where winner takes all. If I win I take the prize if you win you take the prize. Simple as that. Now apply this concept to managing time. You can fill your time with 'x' amount of activities up to 24h mark. Once you reach that limit you need to trade. Want to add any new activity then you need to remove one of an equal size.
For example if you want to sleep until 9am you need to make sure you haven't scheduled anything for that time.
If your follow Merlin Mann's talks (page15) he refers to a similar concept by Joel Spolsky. The metaphor is a giant box which represents single day. You can fill this box with anything you want but once you reach the limit that's it. If you want to add anything else you need to first remove one thing and than add another.
Regardless of tricks you might use to play the time your end result will always be the same. Double-booking, multitasking are just old tricks that don't really work. You can get away with them for a while but eventually they will bite you.
Play by the rules
To make the most out of your time you need to accept the rules. And these rules are very simple it's actually just one rule.
To put one thing in your calendar you need to make sure your have still enough time or you need to take something out.
That's it, only one single choice. Whether that choice is spending time with family, working some extra hours, going for a run or whatever, it's still a choice. There may not be equal weight in each of the items. For different people the weights might be different but we all work from the same base of 24h.
That 24h is yours, you own it, so use it well.
Now knowing this would you change the way you interact with your time? Would you do differently?

Every pistol will vary slightly in appearance because each case hardened frame and set of mammoth ivory grips is unique. For years, firearms customers have loved Turnbull Finishes. Because of the relationship between Mark Stone of Nighthawk and Doug Turnbull, and the respect both men have for the product each company produces, they have created a partnership that has resulted in the finest 1911 pistols on the market.

1 Year at BCUK: Spotlight on Jen Radcliffe
This past year at BCUK HQ has been a busy one; working with new clients, achieving new records, raising money for our partner charities, building candidate relationships, and increasing our staff headcount.
One of our new BCUK family members has just hit her 1st birthday with the team, and we wanted to celebrate by putting a little spotlight on the one and only Jennifer Radcliffe.
So, Jen - what attracted you to BCUK in the first place?
I've known Debbie and Tamsin for a number of years and had always heard good things about the culture at BCUK. This was a big draw for me. The other things that attracted me were office location, work/life balance and great staff retention rates.
What's been the biggest highlight of the past year?
The last 12 months have been fantastic with various different high points. I think the best thing for me has been working with clients again that I have known for a long time and helping them to find the right candidates to add to their organisations.
What's been the biggest challenge?
Supply/Demand to growth areas such as Compliance. It's an area in our market that has grown dramatically in the last 18 months and ensuring that we meet clients demand with the right quality of candidate has sometimes been tough.
What does your day look like?
• Wake up around 6.30am usually by my son, George who is an early bird!
• We get ready, have breakfast and then head off to school usually with music of George's choice blasting - The Greatest Showman soundtrack is the current favourite!
• Depending on what's in my diary, I am usually either out meeting with clients and candidates all day or working on vacancies in the office
• End of the working day is usually 5pm and I collect George from afterschool club
• Evening consists of tea, homework, bath, book and bed for George and if I'm not asleep by then I usually watch an hour of TV to wind down!
What's the biggest difference between working for BCUK vs other businesses you've worked for?
The staff structure is very different - In a lot of places I have worked previously in order to progress you have to follow a people management route. At BCUK you are encouraged to become an expert in your market and are incentivised to achieve progression through your focused specialism. You are treated completely as an adult, and it's fair to say in that this job is very much you get out what you put in. Everyone here wants to be successful and put the effort in to achieve this – which is a great motivator when you need support from your colleagues on a tough day.
Also the little perks are just great, from Christmas hampers, early finishes, quarterly trips and the annual trip abroad - the directors really do look after staff.
Age 10: what did you want to do when you grew up?
I actually wanted to be an Archaeologist when I was younger as I had mad obsession with Ancient Egypt!
What would be your Plan B if you weren't recruiting now?
If I could be anything else it would definitely be something to do with event planning or music – maybe run my own music festival!
Who inspires you?
Probably my son George – he's obviously the reason I work hard but I just love his natural confidence and his fearlessness! He makes me brave.
If you were to give your teenage self advice for the future, what would it be?
Worry Less, Do More!
Last question… what 3 guests (living or dead) would you invite to your ideal dinner party and why?
• Idris Elba (obviously for his conversation J )
• Stephen Fry (definitely just for his conversation)
• Liam Gallagher (To discuss the greatest band of all time and hopefully get him to sing)
Thanks Jen! Looking forward to seeing what the next year brings you and Team BCUK!
If you work in Social Housing and are looking for a move in your career, speak to Jen in time for a move in the new year. Please get in touch on 01695 556 800 or firstname.lastname@example.com
If you're a recruiter looking for a new challenge, speak to our Operations Manager George Lucking on 0151 230 1690 or firstname.lastname@example.com

7 Simple Ways to Enhance Philanthropic Efforts
The old adage of "It's better to give than to receive" reigns true after all. Whether donating money or time, giving back is important – and not just for the recipients. Research shows that 52 percent of volunteers do it because they like helping others and doing something useful, while 38 percent said the work makes them feel good. Giving brings joys to both sides of the equation, but charitable initiatives could have a greater impact on your organization, as giving promotes cooperation and connection.
An Attitude of Servitude: 5 Ways to Improve Customer Service
An attitude of servitude is hard to come by these days. Not because there are meaner people in the world today than there were yesterday; no, it's because you and I let it happen. Can you believe this interaction? The story goes: I called in an order at a local restaurant. I wanted to know how much would feed 20 people (a reasonable question). The waiter's response "Ma'am I don't know, once you figure it out call us back." So I hung up and called back with my order, (true story). Unfortunately, many of us have gotten so used to poor customer service that now we just expect it.
Top 10 Office Annoyances
As with anywhere you're bound to spend the majority of your time, there are going to be irritations and annoyances that just really drive you "up the cubicle wall." Here are just a few you may be able to relate to.
3 Ways to Increase Staff Morale at Your Restaurant
Anyone who has worked in the restaurant industry knows it is not always a picnic. I speak from experience! At the age of 14, I had to get a job and start paying all of my bills, minus room and board (thankfully, the bills were few because $5.25 an hour only goes so far). Surprisingly enough, running up and down a food line adding more lettuce and pickles was not as fun as it sounds. To succeed in such an industry takes many things, but one you simply cannot leave behind is enthusiasm.
Don't Worry, Be Positive
A simple smile, an act of gratitude and supporting others all go a long way in the workplace. In fact, these attributes help to build an atmosphere of positivity. The human mind is the most powerful tool in the world; within this device lives an arena of positive and negative thoughts battling for control of your psyche. Each mindset is contagious, so which would you rather have ruling your office? My bet is on positivity, because with it, your team has more potential to accomplish its goals, develop resiliency and improve psychological prosperity.

Biloxi, MS – The gunman accused of murdering Biloxi Police Officer Robert McKeithen in an ambush attack outside the city's police department giggled and belched during his preliminary hearing in Harrison County on Tuesday.
Darian Atkinson, 19, is facing a capital murder charge for the May 5 assassination of veteran Officer McKeithen, WDAM reported.
During the hearing, Gulfport Detective Samuel Jewell took the stand to explain how the incident unfolded as Atkinson laughed, shook his head, and smiled, according to the Sun Herald.
Det. Jewell said that the accused gunman walked eight miles from his mother's residence to the Lopez Quave Public Safety Center that night with the sole intent of murdering a police officer.
He arrived at the station at approximately 10 p.m. with a huge smile on his face, and sat down in the lobby near two women who were each holding small children, WDAM reported.
The women wanted to file a report about a domestic violence incident, and were told that an officer would arrive at the station shortly to take their complaint, Det. Jewell explained.
The women opted to wait outside, and Atkinson followed behind them moments later, security footage showed.
Within five minutes, Officer McKeithen pulled into the parking lot in his patrol car and began speaking with the women outside the building.
At one point, the veteran officer asked Atkinson if he was somehow involved in the incident they were reporting, but the suspect shrugged him off.
"Leave me alone. I don't have nothing to do with it," he responded, according to Det. Jewell.
He then wandered across the parking lot and loitered near a tree.
But a short while later, he walked back towards the officer and the women, drew a .40-caliber Glock from his pocket, and opened fire on Officer McKeithen from behind, the Sun Herald reported.
Officer McKeithen, a 24-year veteran-of-the-force who planned to retire at the end of the year, never had the opportunity to react, the detective said.
Within seconds, Atkinson had discharged nine rounds, striking the officer repeatedly from just feet away, WDAM reported.
One bullet grazed his head, several struck his body, and at least three impacted his ballistic vest, according to the Sun Herald.
Officer McKeithen died of blood loss at Merit Health hospital a short while later.
The women and their children fled through the parking lot and into the police station, where they alerted other officers about what had transpired outside, WDAM reported.
The entire ambush was captured by the department's surveillance cameras.
Meanwhile, Atkinson took off from the scene on foot and headed back to his mother's home, ditching the murder weapon and a magazine in a drainage ditch along the way, the Sun Herald reported.
Investigators later discovered that the weapon was purchased by one of Atkinson's brothers in March, according to WDAM.
Sometime between 3 a.m. and 4 a.m. on May 6, prior to Atkinson being identified as the alleged shooter, his mother called Biloxi police to report that he was causing a disturbance at her home, the Sun Herald reported.
But when officers arrived, Atkinson's brother, Davian Atkinson, told them that he would make sure his brother had a ride to stay elsewhere.
Atkinson had also changed clothes and was eight miles away from the scene of the attack, so investigators did not initially recognize him as being the suspect seen in the surveillance footage.
Approximately five hours later, investigators returned to the woman's home after receiving a tip that Atkinson was the person seen in photographs disseminated by the department.
Atkinson's mother said she had also seen the photographs, and that she believed her son was the gunman who killed Officer McKeithen.
Investigators soon discovered that Davian and another brother, 20-year-old Wanya Toquest Atkinson, were both involved in helping Atkinson in his attempt to avoid arrest.
They have been charged with accessory after the fact to capital murder, along with 18-year-old Andre Sullivan, 21-year-old Joshua Kovach, and 20-year-old Dalentez Brice, the Sun Herald reported.
According to investigators, the five co-defendants all aided Atkinson in his attempt to escape, either by giving him rides, clothes, or access to a cell phone.
At approximately 6:30 p.m. on May 6, an off-duty Biloxi police officer spotted Atkinson in Wiggins, and contacted local law enforcement, WDAM reported.
The suspect was taken into custody without further incident, but refused to provide officers with his name.
Atkinson was positively identified as the accused gunman after Wiggins police provided Biloxi investigators with his photograph.
While the suspect was waiting for Biloxi police to come pick him up from Wiggins, he told the officers that they should "respect the shooter," according to WDAM.
The accused cop-killer laughed and smiled as he was being escorted into the BPD upon his return to Biloxi, WPMI reported.
"Oh, the police are mad at me," the smirking suspect told reporters on his way into the building, according to the Sun Herald. "Murder."
Biloxi police have also confirmed that Darian was suspended from Biloxi High School for three days in 2018, after he allegedly told a fellow student that he was contemplating "shooting up" the school, WMPI reported.
During his hearing on Tuesday, Atkinson belched as his attorney questioned Det. Jewell, according to the Sun Herald.
Judge Gaston Hewes Jr. determined that there was enough probable cause to send the accused gunman's case to a grand jury, and ordered that he be held in jail until the grand jury decides whether or not to indict him, WDAM reported.
Atkinson's co-defendants were all due to appear in court for preliminary hearings on Wednesday.

With Grails 3 now available, we have started to migrate some of our Grails 2 plugins. Here is a quick guide to share your experience on how to distribute a Grails 3 Plugin. Feedback is welcome!
To migrate your plugins and apps, follow the detailed explanation from Grails 3 docs: http://grails.github.io/grails-doc/3.1.x/guide/upgrading.html
You might also check this Grails 2 plugin that automatically performs a partial migration: https://github.com/domurtag/migrate-2-grails3
To distribute your plugins, the recommended way is to use Bintray, a package hosting and download center infrastructure for automated software distribution. It's free for open source!
On the Bintray side
- signup/signin to https://bintray.com (one-click signin with GitHub or Twitter),
- if required, create an organization (if you want to collaborate on a shared repository),
- create a new maven repository called plugins on your account (or the created organization),
- edit your Bintray profile to get your personal API Key,
- add BINTRAY_USER and BINTRAY_KEY to your env variables (on OS X, add it to your .bash_profile or .bash_rc)
export BINTRAY_USER=benorama
export BINTRAY_KEY=xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
On the Grails side (Grails 3.1 and beyond)
- run grails create-plugin my-plugin,
- from Grails 3.1.x, there is new Gradle plugins available to simplify publishing of plugins and profiles. It should be in your build.gradle when you create a new plugin.
apply plugin: "org.grails.grails-plugin"
apply plugin: "org.grails.grails-plugin-publish"
- edit build.gradle to customize default configuration as you wish , for example:
grailsPublish {
user = 'user' // Not required if you defined BINTRAY_USER var
key = 'key' // Not required if you defined BINTRAY_KEY var
userOrg = 'mycompany' // Optional
repo = 'myrepo' // Optional, default to 'plugins'
githubSlug = 'foo/bar'
license {
name = 'Apache-2.0'
title = "My Plugin Title"
desc = "My Plugin Description"
developers = [johndoe:"John Doe"]
On the Grails side (Grails 3.0.x)
- for Grail 3.0.x, the Bintray Gradle plugin is configured in your build.gradle from https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grails/grails-profile-repository/master/profiles/plugin/templates/grailsCentralPublishing.gradle and https://raw.githubusercontent.com/grails/grails-profile-repository/master/profiles/plugin/templates/bintrayPublishing.gradle
- edit build.gradle to customize default configuration as you wish , for example:
// Replace benorama by your github user/organization name
// Note: right now, only plugins with 'org.grails.plugins' group are listed by 'grails list-plugins' commandversion "0.1"
group "org.grails.plugins" // Or your own user/organizationbintray {
pkg {
userOrg = '' // If you want to publish to an organization
name = "$project.name"
issueTrackerUrl = "https://github.com/benorama/grails-$project.name/issues"
vcsUrl = "https://github.com/benorama/grails-$project.name"
version {
attributes = ['grails-plugin': "$project.group:$project.name"]
name = project.version
To publish your Grails 3 plugin
- now, simply run gradle bintrayUpload from your project root.
Et voila !
Your first Grails 3 plugin is published and available to everyone.
Note: if you want to add your plugin to the official plugins repository, go to https://bintray.com/grails/plugins, click on Include my package button and wait for Grails team validation.
To use your Grails 3 plugin
Add your plugins repo and plugin dependency to your Grails 3 app in its build.gradle :
// Replace benorama by your user/organization name
repositories {
maven { url "http://dl.bintray.com/benorama/plugins" }
dependencies {
compile "org.grails.plugins:my-plugin:0.1"
Bobby Warner has created a nice FAQ blog post about Publishing Grails 3 Plugins.
Note: we're hiring! Are you kick-ass fullstack or front-end dev that want to work on Angular 2, Java or Groovy? You must contact me to join our dream team in Paris!

Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee and Trump transition team member Devin Nunes (R-CA) spoke at a fundraiser for Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA) last week and admitted there is a coordinated plan to impeach Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein. Rosenstein oversees the Russia investigation.
Rachel Maddow exclusively obtained audio from the private fundraiser closed to press. A member of a progressive group paid to attend the event and gave it to her.
Nunes also explains he sees House Republicans as the last hope to protect GOP interests if Attorney General Jeff Sessions does not un-recuse himself and Special Counsel Robert Mueller finds the president broke the law.
Asked about the the impeachment plans, Nunes told a questioner that "it's a bit complicated" because "we only have so many months left."
"So if we actually vote to impeach, OK, what that does is that triggers the Senate then has to take it up," he said on the recording. "Well, and you have to decide what you want right now because the Senate only has so much time."
He continued: "Do you want them to drop everything and not confirm the Supreme Court justice, the new Supreme Court justice?"
"The Senate would have to drop everything they're doing ... and start with impeachment on Rosenstein. And then take the risk of not getting Kavanaugh confirmed," Nunes said. "So it's not a matter that any of us like Rosenstein. It's a matter of, it's a matter of timing."
Nunes also said that "if Sessions won't unrecuse and Mueller won't clear the president, we're the only ones. Which is really the danger," according to the audio.
"I mean we have to keep all these seats. We have to keep the majority. If we do not keep the majority, all of this goes away," he added, apparently referring to keeping Republican control of the House in the 2018 midterm elections.

At this stage the future of Java EE looks brighter than it has for quite a while as Oracle, working with Red Hat, IBM, other vendors and the wider community to move the specifications, TCKs and overall innovation to an open source foundation. I think in general most people in the Java community see this as positive but there are a few naysayers, even more of them in other non-JVM areas. The common thread throughout is along the lines of "who cares these days?" or "it's far quicker and easier to accomplish the same things with framework X or language Y, anyway." I'm not going to try to address all of the concerns which have been raised because many of the comments I've seen have clearly been subjective and bordering on click bait. However, I'm writing this piece to reiterate some things I've said over the years and which remain just as relevant today, in my opinion
I want to start though by saying that in all of this I am trying to remain objective. Of course in my current role I and Red Hat have a vested interest in Java EE but if you've known me long enough over the years you'll know that I'm also a scientist and as such I base my opinions on observations and facts born out by those observations. If a fact or piece of data goes against a theory then I don't ignore it, I review and likely update or replace the theory to match the facts. I've changed my opinion on many things throughout my career and I'm sure I will do so again.
OK so back to Java EE. Does this move to open source help the wider community? Is Java EE still relevant or has it had its day like so many technologies before it? I'm not going to link to other things I've written on Java EE and its future over the years as they're easily searchable through your favourite engine. But in short, many people forget that Java EE represents an evolution of essential middleware capabilities which many mission critical applications require. It's had a lot of bad press since its inception, some of it accurate and some of it less so. I think one of its big failings is that, like my favourite topic of transactions, it has been used and misused in environments where it wasn't really appropriate. No stack or framework is going to be applicable to every problem space and of course developers are going to get frustrated if they try it and find it wanting and failing as a result.

After much research, Suzie Boss shares what makes excellent project-based teaching and gives a sneak peek into her book by the same name.
Project Pals has a useful classroom collaborative platform that lets you create and manage projects for your students. Right now, my students are creating and managing a project as they are creating a podcast to record powerful stories from the recent storms in our area.
Project Pals connects with Google Classroom but also lets me see detail on which students are contributing and participating. I also love the task board which is a Trello-like Kanban board that let students create, assign, and complete tasks. I will be featuring this tool on my blog and newsletter this week- go to projectpals.com and sign up today.

Today was another so-so day, starting with me sleeping in until 8:30. By the time I had breakfast at 9:30. For most of the day, I had to deal with some earlier discomfort with some Stomach and Dizziness issues. However, thanks to the medication I had taken as a precaution around 6:00 AM I was able to enjoy some Toast and Tea. Not being very active I also started to encounter lower back pain. Because of these ailments, I rested for the whole afternoon and evening.
After breakfast, we decided to go to the Marsh Creek Reservoir. Vicky, our ex-neighbor, suggested this location for a number of reasons, such as low traffic. However, again no Mount Diablo was visible. I, therefore, went to plan B, taking PICTURES of things around the Marsh Creek Reservoir.
Getting back home I rested for the rest of the day to help to reduce my head, shoulder and lower back pressure/pain. At the same time, I processed and uploaded to Flickr today's photos and finished posting them. I also continue to process my Photography Blog postings, there are only a few days before I am aligned with the postings of the Living with Cancer Blog.
In summary, today was a so-so day, thanks to some minor health issues for most of the day, but they were the only minor.

What Designers See Vs. What Everyone Else Sees
What Designers See Vs. What Everyone Else Sees
Let's face it. Once you become a designer the world starts looking a little different. What used to look OK suddenly makes your eyes burn, and tools you had no idea about become the most amusing parts of your day. Where others see chocolate, you see packaging... where others see Comic Sans you see fire. Life did really change, didn't it? We're right there with you, and here are 12 situations you'll probably relate to:

All true, that last one though! That gave me a chuckle :)
Thom Bouman
Simon Stratford
Personally I think it's a popular misconception that designers have the innate ability to see things different while other non-designers don't.
Errol Stewart
Designers DO see what others don't, but it's the meta that others wouldn't give a shit about anyway if pointed out to them.
Mohamed Shaikh
hhhh Yes it's true
Ivan Coronel
Helena Vieites
unpaid hahahaha, try to let your bills unpaid :D
Jason Heglund
Love this. Especially the one about Photoshop quitting... and the one with the restaurant menu!
Tina Knoedler
Me: What color is your logo?
Client: Blue.
Me: Is it a spot color? Do you have a Pantone number?
Client: (as if stating the obvious) Uh... it's just blue.
sandy konigmacher
Am I the only one that doesn't use a mac?
Randy Jacob
Another misconception: Designers love Apple. As an ENFP w/ ADHD and OCD who for obvious reasons LOVES minimal design, I cannot stand the lack of customization iPhones have. I have no interest in iOS 9. Android all the way.
Randy Jacob
Also, that Comic Sans / Papyrus combo made my Monday THAT much worse. Thank you for that. A holes . ( ^-^)
Jon Martin
Yes, designers DO see things differently from non-designers! All my non-designer friends read words... I see fonts, kerning, letter spacing, word spacing... especially bad examples made by wanna be designers! UGH!
Luis Cassis
I opened my email, and my Monday gift was there - marketing guy emails me saying he loves my work but I should use a "redder red" to an already beautiful bright red headline...really? I almost started chewing tin foil, then I saw this article and made me laugh.. life is good again :)
Web Donut
So true!
Robert Castleberry
I'm completely lost on the restaurant menu / fire exit connection...
Luis Cassis
Robert - Restaurant (Comic Sans) + Menu (Papyrus) = run for your life!
Shaun Wegscheid
Took me a moment too Robert; I got stuck on the not quite perfectly tilted plate with everything ligned up on horizontals and verticals... then saw the comic sans, then saw the papyrus... ya, double gross.
Kenza Graphics
So true... I've got all the symptoms of a graphic designer. Love it!
Marta Docampo
I don't see much of that, does that mean I am not a graphic designer?
Funny hehe
Rakumakoe Hilton
Photoshop quit unexpectedly!!! too funny and brutally true
Jenn Coyle Palandro
Bahaha these are all so true. Funny post.
Su Hall
LOL! GREAT! I, too, love the PS/cars crashing. That's funny! They all are! I know people see things differently, but, I'm not sure what it is, right or left-brain dominance, whatever. I once saw a series of paintings at a street fair/art festival. Every painting was of some sail boat or another, but, they were all in fog! That can't happen! If you have wind for your sails, there is not any fog. It can't settle in with wind blowing. I noticed that because it is 'impossible', I suppose, and have learned to be 'realistic' with stuff I do, like shading and such.
Great READ!
Ray of Light
This is good. The Restauraunt one really hit the spot
Jackie Leavitt
Lovin' this post! And the Comic Sans one? I just experienced that one, to wit: "Can we use Comic Sans? I always liked that font" Cue the fire exit stage right please!!!
Shuvo Khan
ha ha ha awesome man
The last one, hahaha!!
Angie Drach
LMAO! Love this! Really brightened my day!

IMDB has got to be one of the best online entertainment resources out there right now. Covering everything from movies and TV to video games, the Internet Movie Data Base is a great way to find out who is starring in what, some interesting trivial knowledge, a few images of the show and even memorable lines. Until the iPhone was released, IMDB resided only online. You could always reach it through a browser, but it was never created for a mobile device.
Until now.
The IMDB App is fast, easy to use and free; those are the basic pillars of any great app in my mind. Functioning in almost identical fashion to the site, the IMDB app puts a lot of effort in making it easy to find what you are looking for. The main focus is the Search function, but they also do a great job in filtering and re-categorizing your query.
The IMDB app comes in handy in more ways than you might think – especially in settling ridiculous bets made in the pub, or in the off chance you meet someone in the entertainment industry that you just can't put a name to.

Introduction: Stencilling on Cookies - Rose Valentine Cookie
Stencilling on cookies is such a quick and easy way of adding a pretty design, and if you're worried about piping letters or monograms on cookies, this would be a perfect solution! And if you can do this on walls or on paper, you'll be able to do it on cookies as well!
Step 1: Things You'll Need
To make these, you'll need:
Sugar Cookie Recipe here: http://sweetopia.net/2009/12/sugar-cookie-recipe/
Royal Icing Recipe here. http://sweetopia.net/2012/01/royal-icing-recipe-free-illustrated-recipe/
Heart Cookie Cutters
Piping Tips (#1, #4)
Piping Bags
Food Gel Colourings (pink, red, brown)
Rose Stencil (You can find many different kinds of rose stencils online, for example, Golda's Kitchen, or visit your local hardware or art store for stencils as well).
Leaf Cutter Set
Offset Spatula
For a tutorial on how to make gumpaste or fondant leaves, click here. http://sweetopia.net/2009/08/how-to-make-gum-paste-leaves/ (These are just a little smaller and have a different line pattern in the leaf. Please see list above for leaf cutter set).
Step 2: Flood the Cookie Base
Flood your heart cookies with pink royal icing. Let them dry overnight.
Step 3: Thicken Icing for Stencilling
Make your red stencilling icing a little bit thicker than flood icing by adding some icing sugar. When you drag a knife through the surface of the icing, it will basically still hold it's shape.
Step 4: Add Icing to Stencil
Place your stencil on the base of dry royal icing. Try to hold the stencil still and pipe your icing onto the rose using a #4 piping tip (other sizes are fine too). You could also just put a little bit of icing on the rose with a palette knife or spatula. Cover only the rose with the red icing.
Step 5: Scrape Icing Off
Using an offset palette knife, lightly scrape the icing off the stencil.
Step 6: Lift Stencil
Lift the stencil away from the cookie. For best results, every 2-3 applications, clean the stencil with warm water and dry thoroughly.
Step 7: Pipe Dots Around Cookie Perimeter
Pipe alternating coloured dots around the perimeter of the heart with a #1 piping tip. If your dots have pointed tips on them, push them down with a toothpick or a damp paintbrush.
Step 8: Add the Stem
Once the rose is dry, place the stencil back on the cookie, and add the brown icing for the stem. Using an offset spatula, lightly scrape the icing off the stencil.
Step 9: Add Leaves
Add two dots of brown icing for the leaves. For a tutorial on how to make gumpaste or fondant leaves, please see Sweetopia.net. (These are just a little smaller and have a different line pattern in the leaf). Add the leaves and press in place with a toothpick.
Step 10:
If you'd like to add a little more detail, pipe lines on the edges of the rose shape with a #1 piping tip.
Step 11: Enjoy!
Let your cookies dry and enjoy!

So far things have been a little slow on the publishing front of Hermit Studio right now as the main focus is being put into the games and photography projects scheduled (as our first major publishing project will an an annual anthology). This week however Niamh Brown, a member of Hermit Studio, received a gift of a collection of comments handwritten in ink in a leather bound book from the good people at bhuman.co.uk This was for donating her story to them for their anthology of stories of courage for people in hard times. Niamh has been seriously writing for over a decade now and although she has written online for five years this will be her first time in print once the book is released and donated to those in need.

Countdown to E3 2011 : Bioshock Infinite
There aren't many games that my wife Christy of The Fandom Menace will stand to watch me play, however my first trip to Rapture in BioShock caused her, and then roommate Britt, to actually watch the tragic tale unfold before their eyes. The adventure of a lone man trying to find a way out of a aquatic dystopian society forced to adapt by injecting himself with Gene altering drugs then finding a hidden link between himself and the city called Rapture, played on themes of freedom and fate, power and corruption, genius and madness. Bioshock sucks you in immediately and doesn't let go until the end. With solid FPS gameplay its no wonder Bioshock is one of my favorite in this generation of video games.
However Bioshock 2 was a shallow attempt to recapture the mystery of its predecessor. The makers of the game attempted to expand the story but was that really the right choice? For this guy that answer is no. After my first trip to the city of Rapture I felt that there was nothing left to say about the place. I was so bored by the middle of Bioshock 2 I flipped on easy mode just to see if it gets any better towards the end, and I'm sad to report that it just gets confusing and irritating. BioShock 2 was handled by different people trying to make a quick buck off a game that received critical praise. So why should I be excited about the new BioShock Infinite well just take a look at this…
This looks like the game that I wanted out of Bioshock 2. The story opens in circa 1918 in a floating city called Colombia; a city created by the United States and was lost to the skies. The main character a Pinkerton by the name Booker DeWitt is hired to find a reality bending child named Elizabeth in this isolationist society that is in the middle of a civil war. DeWitt has his work cut out for him because this Wonderland is about as twisted as any Lewis Carrol poem. It appears that both factions of this war want Elizabeth to stay put, to make matters worse Elizabeth's bodyguard/keeper the mechanical Songbird (featured at the end of the video) will stop at nothing to re-capture Elizabeth at all cost.
I'm Curious to see how some of the gameplay mechanics will actually work. I wonder how turning a gun around on its user is going to work. Do you control Elizabeth's power or is it only during certain points in the game. Since this game is a prequel does splicing still work like it did in the other 2 games. If you haven't already noticed its a very scripted demo and not true gameplay, but the video does represent what the designers want to accomplish. I have high hopes for this game and can't wait to see what Bioshock Infinite brings to E3.

Do you believe that
there are ghosts in building 3
Why do you stop,
keep going
Why did you turn the lights on?
It ruins the vibe
Did you really see it?
What? You are the one who started it
Where are you?
What a shitty playing!
Don't you think you're wasting my time
by keep me watching you all here?
Listen while I'm talking to you
What is wrong with you guys?
You don't focus at rehearsal
And perform like shit at the competition
Never complain that it's hot
because I feel hot too
You hear me?
Who taught you to perform just you did?
Let me tell you this
When I see you all,
I can't help
thinking of the previous champion crew
They were all good
No need to pressure them
no pressure, right?
Ridiculous, I'd stab you with the stick
The secret is,
don't stop practising
if you are still not good
I'm tired, you know?
You are terrible
Yet you don't focus
Hey Top, what are you watching?
I'm learning English
He's watching it again?
Why teacher so pretty?
He's watching it again?
- Ohm
You are too soft on them
You better scold them sometimes!
Hey, Song
Remember the girl I told you about?
Which one? You told me a hundred of them
This one, that my friend went after,
and she left her man
So I go after her
She's so easy, you should try
I want to see you beaten up
by her man, Pete
I'll be the first audience
And I'll get my camera ready
Everyone loves me
Hey, look over there
Two years ago,
someone fell off the building there
By the look of it, it's not human
And they said...
the student fell and died
because one of the ghosts in the school
Kill her...
No, I don't think so
Do you want to be sure?
have you finished talking?
If not, you better go to the rehearsal room
clean up the instruments while talking
And don't sleep until they are all shiny
What the hell?
Ohm, how could we win
without good rehearsal?
So much alike
So very much
You really don't have to come
It's OK,
I'm the band leader
I have to help everyone
What Song means is that your staying,
makes us feel uncomfortable
Pete, you are too straight
Let's continue the ghost story
from the evening
They said whoever that
tells stories about ghosts before others
So, Top you should tell first
So you will see the ghost first
I have waited a long time
Well, well
Go ahead
It's the story about the old building
There is this student called Yak
He was bullied and got locked up
in the old building
He tried to find the way out
until he accidentally fell off the stairs,
broke his neck and died
They said anyone that gets in there at night
will hear...
From the hallway
there will be the sound of his metal limbs
get closer
and closer
And if he can find us,
he will drag us to the stairs,
where he died
I'll tell you the scariest thing for me
It's about a ghost
in the old music room
There was a girl
who often stayed late for practising flute
what time is late?
Some go to bed early, so 10 PM is late
Some people go to bed late,
so 10 PM is early
Tell that to your mother, OK?
Alright, let me tell this story
It's about
this pretty girl,
a former member of the marching band
Her name is Pawadee
Rumour has it
She was killed
while practising flute in late night
Her body was hidden behind the mirror
in the corner of the room
It's said that
if we are in the old music room at night

BRUSSELS (Sputnik) — NATO considers cyberdefense one of its top priorities as it faced about 500 cyberattacks a month in 2016, which constitutes a 60-percent increase compared to 2015, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg said Wednesday.
"Last year, NATO experienced an average of 500 cyberincidents per month, which required our experts to respond, an increase of 60 percent over 2015," Stoltenberg told reporters after a NATO ministerial meeting.
On January 19, Stoltenberg expressed a similar concern in an interview with Die Welt newspaper.
The NATO chief reportedly said that most of the attacks were sponsored by the governments rather than private individuals.

One of the benefits of participating in community theater is the people you meet. And almost every time, the people I meet surprise me with not only their incredible talents on stage, but the kind of people they are off stage.
When I first met Treion I couldn't quite understand what people were calling him. It took a while but I finally understood his name was Treion. As these things go, there's downtimes during rehearsals when we can chat and get to know the other cast members. Treion and I talked and I found out he's originally from South Africa and works for a company where I once worked, though it's been almost 20 years since I worked there.
It wasn't until tonight that I learned my friend is an author--a real, live published author. You can access his website: HERE. He wrote Reality Parenting: As NOT Seen on TV, and Dad Rules: A Simple Manual for a Complex Job. He's also co-written several other books. I learned also he was a university student body president, university mascot, professional dancer and motivational speaker.
I know a lot of people who can't understand giving up so much time to do a show and spend all that time doing something and not getting paid to do it. For me, there's a lot of reasons to do a show and meeting people like Treion helps make it all worth it.

Americans are changing their relationship with Facebook
Just over half of Facebook users ages 18 and older (54%) say they have adjusted their privacy settings in the past 12 months, according to a new Pew Research Center survey. Around four-in-ten (42%) say they have taken a break from checking the platform for a period of several weeks or more, while around a quarter (26%) say they have deleted the Facebook app from their cellphone. All told, some 74% of Facebook users say they have taken at least one of these three actions in the past year.
The findings come from a survey of U.S. adults conducted May 29-June 11, following revelations that the former consulting firm Cambridge Analytica had collected data on tens of millions of Facebook users without their knowledge.

'Real World' cast member dies in Kenosha
A cast member of "2010 Real World New Orleans" died in Kenosha on Thursday morning.
Kenosha police said Ryan Knight, 28, was found unconscious and not breathing at a friend's home in the 7900 block of 22nd Avenue.
Police said Knight was out with friends Wednesday night. A witness told police that he saw Knight sleeping on the floor between 7:30-8 a.m. At about 10:08 a.m., it was discovered he was not breathing.
An autopsy was done Friday morning, and the doctor who performed it did not find "any anatomical cause of death." The official cause of death will be pending toxicology, police said.
Police said they are looking into the cause of death as being medical or accidental.
Knight was also a participant on "The Challenge."
"We are saddened to hear the news of the passing of Ryan Knight. Our thoughts and condolences are with his family and friends at this difficult time," said MTV press representative Rayna Schwartz.
Knight was known in the Kenosha area as a former hockey player.
The Kenosha Police Department personally extended its condolences to the Knight family in their news release, saying his father was "a great friend and co-worker for many years."
Knight's father retired from the Kenosha Police Department last year.

Possibly the hottest teen movie of the year, Twilight is an adaptation of Stephanie Meyer's novel of the same name about the forbidden love between a human and a vampire.
With more than 25 million copies sold worldwide, the long-awaited screen version enjoyed sky-high advance ticket sales.
Perhaps what has thrilled fans most is the cast. Kristin Stewart (Panic Room, Into the Wild) plays the ordinary and withdrawn heroine, Isabella "Bella" Swan. Robert Pattinson, the good-looking Quidditch star from the Harry Potter series, is the mysteriously vegetarian vampire Edward Cullen.
The cute couple is surrounded by a crowd of vivid supporting characters. Whether it be the vampire Cullen clan or the other students in school, each character appears to have been pulled straight from Meyer's pages. The casting team deserves a standing ovation.
The production team are as promising as the dazzling cast. This dark romance is directed by Catherine Hardwicke, who made the acclaimed teen movie Thirteen. She proved her talent for capturing the sensitive struggles and relationship troubles teens face - the same conflicts that provide the magic in the book.
Many Twilighters breathed a sigh of relief when Melissa Rosenberg was announced the screenwriter. One of the masterminds behind the teenage drama The O.C. and dance flick Step Up, Rosenberg was an ideal candidate for the post. Knowing the importance of the story to fans, Rosenberg said she felt a lot of pressure to remain true to the original.
The film has so much potential to beat High School Musical 3 to the "best teenage movie" throne, but it doesn't quite live up to expectations.
Some fans may find Stewart's Bella a little blank, as she keeps her face expressionless, seldom showing the character's carefree spirit. But this is perhaps to be expected - after all, the only way readers know of her livelier side is from Bella's own narration.
Pattinson settles into his role well, but unfortunately, viewers will be distracted by the white floury makeup randomly caked on his face, making the handsome star look hideous.
The action scenes are too tame for today's adrenaline-addicted kids, and too much time is spent dealing with plot development, rather than letting the raw emotion shine through. On the plus side, the soundtrack is exceptionally well-chosen.
If you're expecting the thrills, chills and spills the book delivers, you'll be disappointed. Go along for a fun vampire movie, and just enjoy the ride.
We have 20 pairs of tickets to give away. Send your phone number and mailing address to [email protected] by Tuesday, 5pm.

Chartbeat Goes Down, Content Creators Panic!
Pay attention to content consumers' "engaged time," notice when content is popular on social media and concentrate on referral channel performance, Chartbeat advises before then telling content marketers what to do with that information.
Content marketing is a big deal right now, with all the marketers responding to a Contently survey in December 2014 telling researchers they plan to spend on it this year.
That's why there was some mock panic on Thursday evening from content creators when New York-based real-time content analytics provider Chartbeat's dashboards weren't working for at least eight minutes.
I felt a great disturbance in the internets, as if millions of voices cried out. Chartbeat is down.
— Danny Sullivan (@dannysullivan) March 12, 2015
However, that respite allowed a content creator from Target Marketing to find tips from Chartbeat on how to optimize their traffic:
1. 'Find an Article With a High Average "Engaged Time" and Low Internal Traffic, Then Relocate It on Your Site.' In other words, make it more high-profile because consumers aren't seeing this content that clearly compels high engagement. [Editor's note: In Google Analytics, it's "average time on page." Marketers can re-order that metric from highest to lowest by simply clicking on the column, then finding articles like this one, "How Hilton Honors Its Loyal Customers," which saw only 30 pageviews during the 30 days ending on Wednesday, but nearly 42 minutes spent reading it.]
2. 'Find a Popular Social Article and Cross-promote It Across Other Social Networks.' Social consumers probably have more than one social media account and will probably engage with the content across them, Chartbeat reasons. Look up the visitors coming from social for a piece of content and see which network sent them, they say. [Editor's note: The same method works in Google Analytics.]
3. 'Optimize Your Referral Channels to "Complete the Rainbow." ' Do link efforts bring more traffic for a specific article? Reallocate accordingly. Same goes for social, search and direct efforts.

Funding in Psychology Training?
ShineAlight posted a topic in IHOG: International House of GradsHi all. My first post here, but a regular reader who finds the discussions helpful. I was U.S. born and educated up to 7th grade level. From that point, I was foreign-educated (including secondary school, B.A. and Pg.Dip.) up to M.Sc. level. Now looking to return to U.S. to settle down. My area is psychology, looking to specialise in Clinical Psychology. In my country, the Clinical doctorates are sponsored by the health care system and all candidates are contracted for the 3 year duration of their studies, receiving a stipend for their services. That is the only way I can afford to continue studies. My question: Is there something similar on offer in the U.S. universities for the Clinical doctorate? Thank you.
