Eurovision 2016 – Wrap Up!
Hello Dear Readers!
It has been about a month and a half since the Grand Final in Stockholm, yet, I have still been Eurovisioning every day since as best I can – I've become quite active on Twitter and Instagram (both @escobsession). Typically, I like to watch the full Contest a time or two more before making this wrap up. I particularly like to rewatch the Final. Unfortunately, both the official Eurovision website and the official YouTube still have this year's Contest blocked in the US (and, as I am told, Canada). Eventually, I was able to find a decent, fan uploaded version of the Contest on YouTube, but I shouldn't have to go through these lengths. The beauty of the Contest in the modern era is that it stretches globally. Yes, the US had its first ever live broadcast of ESC this year (on the cable network Logo, which is dedicated to broadcasting LGBTQ+ themed content, my thoughts on this in a later post this summer), why would the EBU not want to build upon this by continuing to allow access to the Contest to fans in North America beyond May? Logo does not have the Contest streaming online. This needs to be rectified. With all the fuss being made over Russia losing, people have all but ignored this issue — and the EBU is shooting itself in the foot in the very markets that into which it is trying to expand.
With that said, let's recap some of my thoughts from this year's Contest!
General Reactions
I already hit the historical markers in my initial post after the Final. So these are just some of my thoughts and opinions.
I was incredibly skeptical about the new voting system. However, I actually really like it (for the most part)! Yes, Ukraine won neither the juries nor the televote, but it did come second with both a feat that neither Australia nor Russia matched (Australia was fourth in the televote, Russia was sixth with the juries). Furthermore, it made the voting sequence that much more exciting. It went from a clear Australian victory to a nailbiter of a finish! Particularly in the arena where we could barely see the screens and the scores. We had no idea who won until Ukraine was announced as the winner. And, the most exciting move of the night, Poland's jump from last to eighth!
Truly, the best song won. Russia had an amazing stage show and Australia had a powerful performance, but neither You Are the Only One nor Sound of Silence matched 1944 in originality of composition nor in lyrical strength. As such, Ukraine emerged victorious.
Also, it's nice that the winning song was not entirely in English. While it mostly was, it's still nice to know that non-English can still do well. This was further reinforced by the success of France and Austria.
The show's production was great, but, once again, the Swede's gave us an overly crowded show. Love Love Peace Peace, the highlight of the infinite interval acts for many, would have been great as during the vote entertainment. The mockmentary Nerd Nation should have been a two-parter just for the semi-finals; if you didn't watch the first two parts, you would have been lost for the conclusion. I also would have brought the Eurovision by Numbers to the Final, since so many people were watching the Contest for the first time across the world. Lastly, I would have moved Måns to the opening act (scrap the parade of nations, or, at least, the fashion show element that made it drag out forever) and let Justin Timberlake stand alone as the Interval Act as the votes were being verified.
Lastly, while I agree with the winner, I am overall surprised and disappointed in most of the results otherwise. The Czech Republic, the United Kingdom, Spain, and Germany all deserved much better placings than they got. Likewise, Lithuania, Sweden, and Malta all overperformed and finished higher than they should have.
So, now that you know my general reactions, let's move on to the Annual Eurovision Obsession Awards!
For new readers, I hand out awards every year to noteworthy entries and their performers. A few things to keep in mind 1) this is my personal opinion, 2) I look at all the entries, not just the finalists, 3) this is all in good fun and sparks from my love of the Contest. One more note — all photos that appear are mine – I took those!
Best Lyrics Award
Winner: Serbia
"I thought that it was supposed to hurt me
I thought that it was love,
I put my hands up but I won't surrender
Don't need what doesn't serve me anymore
I lick my wounds
So that I can keep on fighting"
Throughout Goodbye (Shelter) we see a singer transform from abused partner to strong woman as she realizes that she deserves more than what she is getting from her relationship. This transition is beautifully mirrored in the composition as well as the performance.
Runner-Up: Ukraine
"When strangers are coming
They come to your house
They kill you all and say
We're not guilty, not guilty
Where is your mind? Humanity cries
You think you are gods but everyone dies
Don't swallow my soul
Our souls"
I have talked about this song many times on this blog, so I will keep it brief: powerful song with lyrics that highlight the parallels between the past and the present.
Honorable Mention: Croatia, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Germany
The "Huh?" Award
Given to the country the most questionable, lazy, or just plain nonsensical lyrics.
Winner: Ireland
"Just touch who you wanna, kiss who you gotta
Fight like we're winners, love like beginners
Dance like you mean it, sing like you feel it
Everything's better standing out in the sun"
Aside from advocating sexual assault (you should NEVER touch or kiss whoever you want without consent), the lyrics are otherwise a trite mess of cliché optimism and hollow saying.
Runner-Up: Moldova
"The sky is tumbling
It's coming down, coming down
The wildest fire
Is burning out, out
And when our fall torn us to pieces
All of our love turned into dust
We're the brightest falling stars"
Essentially, the main argument of the song is that the relationship is ending – so why not go out in a blaze of glory? This is not a healthy relationship goal. If things are over, just let them end. That is that.
Honorable Mention: Sweden, The Netherlands, Montenegro
Best Dressed Award
Winner: Albania
She almost looks like an award statue, doesn't she? Just an utterly gorgeous dress that fits her well. Too bad the majority of the act was against a gold background so you barely saw it (I took this photo during some of the brief blue moments).
Runner-Up: Australia
At first, I wasn't sure what to make of Dami Im's dress. But it's elegant and distinctive, much like Dami Im herself.
Honorable Mention: Estonia, The Netherlands, Slovenia, Israel
Most in Need of a Costume Change Award
So many awful outfits this year, sadly. This was probably the hardest category to choose a winner for.
Winner: Italy
Sparkly, brown overalls. Need I say more? Italy got my vote for the Barbara Dex Award this year.
Runner-Up: Azerbaijan
So…much…gold… Honestly, what the heck are they wearing? In the music video, Samra has on this really nice black gown. This glittery, gold catsuit is just…awful. And, to make matters worse, it doesn't even fit the tone or message of the song.
Honorable Mention: Croatia (Barbara Dex Award winner), Spain, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Hungary, Belarus, Lithuania
Best Staging Award
Winner: Russia
Come on, was there ever any doubt? This staging was incredible! The first time we saw him walk on the screen during the First Semi-Final dress rehearsal, we all gasped. And each time, it was equally as amazing. The staging was just stunning; so much so, it inspired hoards of angry fans to complain when Russia lost.
Runner-Up: Armenia
Talk about doing a lot with a little! Armenia had a solo performer by herself on stage and created a dazzling show that seamlessly incorporated pyrotechnics, slick camera angles, quick-cutting shots, and nifty image overlaying. Who needs an LED screen when you can work magic with cameras?
Honorable Mention: Belarus, Georgia, Belgium, Spain, The Netherlands, Iceland, Ukraine
Worst Staging Award
Winner: Estonia
Yeah, you have a sexy, Bond-esque song with a very attractive, young singer. This should have been a great stage show. Instead, we are left with this, seemingly casino-inspired act that makes Juri seem more creepy than alluring. Also, he was lost in the staging; he was this little man on this giant red stage.
Runner-Up: Moldova
I am starting to feel bad with just how critical I am being with Moldova's entry this year. Unfortunately, they took a poor song with a poor message, gave it to a singer who was a poor fit for the composition, and staged it with few visuals and a random astronaut. This is a dance number – why were there no dancers? This is a song literally called "Falling Stars" why were there no spark curtains or other pyrotechnics? Just…so many things done wrong this year, Moldova.
Honorable Mention: Slovenia, San Marino, France, Croatia
"This is DC Calling" Award: Given to the most American sounding entry. This in NO way counts as an endorsement for the US entering the Contest, an idea which I staunchly oppose.
Winner: Sweden
It feels like a hipster anthem, doesn't it? From Frans' look to his sarcastic tone – the song is just one big "screw you" to whoever he's singing to. This wins the DC Calling Award because so many young people today have this kind of attitude and I could totally imagine a random American high school student saying these words.
Runner-Up: Czech Republic
It is my understanding that, to most Europeans, Americans are a religious bunch who often work their faith into everything, including our pop music. I Stand is vague in who the target of the song is, but, at least to me, it is a song about the power of faith – ironic, since the Czech Republic has the highest percentage of atheists of any nation.
Honorable Mention: Azerbaijan, Denmark, Slovenia, Israel
Pond Leaper Award
While I think each song would find a niche here in the USA, I think this song would be the most popular
Winner: Italy
This is a passionate, yet innocent, love song that is just the perfect tempo for a first dance. If No Degree of Separation made its way across the Atlantic, it would quickly ascend the list of most popular wedding songs, without a doubt.
Runner-Up: The Netherlands
Douwe Bob has perfectly captured the contemporary, country sound that is ever-so-popular in the US. I think that Slow Down would be considered a welcome change to the "stadium country" that has swept the genre over the past decade. This would quickly climb the country, and pop, charts.
Honorable Mention: Australia, Finland, United Kingdom, Bulgaria
The "Spirit of ABBA" Award
Given to the most stereotypical and/or traditional ESC entry
Winner: Belgium
A happy dance tune? Check! Lyrics that make you feel good about yourself and the world? Check! Some cool choreography that you can try to mimic in your living room? Check! Belgium checked all the right boxes to carry the spirit of schlager that typifies the Eurovision genre.
Runner-Up: United Kingdom
A fun song about the uplifting power of friendship performed by a duo that looks like they are genuinely friends off-stage. A fun song that got the audience, both at home and in the arena, involved. That's definitely bringing the continent, and world, together!
Honorable Mention: Finland, Spain, Croatia
The "Shiri Maimon Travesty of the Year" Award
In 2005, a true work of art was entered into the ESC; Israel was represented by Shiri Maimon with the song Hasheket Shinish'Ar. Not only did this song not win, but the winning song that year was not even worthy to be performed on the same stage as the Israeli entry. For me, that was the biggest travesty in Eurovision history. Each year, I hand out this award to the biggest disappointment of the Contest.
Winner: United Kingdom getting 24th place
After years of dubious entries, songs that I liked, but left most of Europe cold, the BBC finally put real effort in finding the British entry. They used a public vote, got artists and songwriters that captured modern British pop music, and selected a song that was catchy, fun, contemporary, and even had two attractive boys – just for good measure. Joe & Jake (and their backing singers) gave outstanding performances for both the juries (Grand Final dress rehearsal) and the televoting public, yet still somehow finished third last. I am still miffed as to how this happened. I know Electro Velvet was devastated by their finish last year, I can only hope that Joe & Jake continue to perform together and eventually return and finish higher up the scoreboard.
Runner-Up: Romania's Disqualification
This is less about Romania not being able to participate (TVR should have to pay their debts, they have owned up to this fact), but the fashion in which it was done. These debts are years old. The EBU could have penalized them in December (when they paid their entry fee and the list of participants was finalized), in March (when the heads of delegations met and entries had to be formally submitted), or in May (after the Contest). But no, the EBU instead opted to discipline Romania in the most humiliating way possible. Waiting for the deadzone that is April to ensure maximum exposure of the event so that it could publicly shame Romania and TVR.
Honorable Mention: Iceland failing to qualify, Czech Republic getting 25th, Lithuania getting 9th
Final Thoughts
Well, another Contest is in the books. It was utterly amazing to be there in person, though, Standing Right sucked. And I am still bitter about how much I had to pay and how long I queued to have such a subpar – particularly since it was a great financial burden. Speaking of which, going to Eurovision this year contributed to what has been my worst time financially – though, it brought something to light for me.
By my age (28), my parents were married with two kids, my eldest sibling had been married for several years, my next oldest sibling had just gotten married, and my last sibling (also older) had just gotten engaged. And then there's me. Single. No kids. Just my education and Eurovision. Being there in Sweden, seeing the "Eurovision by Numbers" video, the "What's Eurovision?" opening act from the second semi-final, the "Peace Peace Love Love" interval act, and having Ukraine win – a song which I loved from the start and truly thought was the best entry – it all reminded me just how much I love Eurovision and the role it plays in uniting all kinds of people.
I always say that the combination pop music, geography, and competition is what drew me to Eurovision – and that's true – but what keeps me there is the genuine community that the Contest breeds. When else can one be connected to over 200 million other people worldwide? When else can one lose themselves in music that transcends boundaries, that is as much visual as it is auditory, and allows you to participate in the realized dreams of 42+ performing artists?
Is Eurovision perfect? No! Of course not (and I'll be going into its various shortcomings throughout the summer in a series of blog posts), but it is awesome. Eurovision is so much more than a song contest, it's a community – it's the people, the culture, the forums, the traditions, the opportunities, the dreams — the connections that it makes possible between all of these things and more. Eurovision connects countries, people groups, generations, allies & enemies, strangers & friends. Attending ESC, watching it, engaging with it – it allows me to be a part of that intricate web human connection.
I don't currently have a family of my own, but I hope to some day. And when I do, I know that Eurovision will be there – allowing me to share an integral part of myself with those I love and for them to join in my passion. Indeed, it will help us all "come together."

Recap of Initial Thoughts and Predictions
Hello Dear Readers!
So, there you have it, my initial thoughts on the 2016 Eurovision field of entries. After listening to the 43 songs, nearly non-stop, all week, I am still able to stand by my predictions. While there are a few songs I like better now than a week ago, such as Poland, Belgium, and Cyprus, but most stayed about the same.
So, Italy has finally released its ESC-version of No Degree of Separation. My opinion is unchanged. I still think that this song is boring.
As of right now, I predict that the following songs will be in the Top Ten (in alphabetical order):
Armenia – much like 2014, Armenia has sent us an outstanding, unique entry
Azerbaijan – a pop entry that recreates the formula that has brought AZR so much success these years
Bulgaria – is replacing the United Kingdom in my Top Ten prediction because it is catchy, it is unique without being inaccessible, and just fun
Czech Republic – powerful ballad that I think has a real solid chance to sneak up the leaderboard
France – fun, catchy, definitively French without being too French
Iceland – mysterious, gripping, and impactful – musically and visually
Malta – powerful pop tune sung by someone with ESC experience, a lot of potential for success
Norway – lovely dance tune and an eccentric love song
Serbia – powerful song about overcoming a bad relationship that will have the backing of most of the Balkans
Spain – most popular dance tune this year, uplifting, and will definitely get every viewer up and dancing
Sweden – host country bump plus a young, contemporary sound (though, I don't care for this song)
Russia – electric dance track, surely bound to outperform Russia's last attempt with this style (2011) by a country mile!
So, with that said, who do I think will contend for the title of ESC victor? Well, so far, my thoughts have not yet changed.
Iceland, Czech Republic, Russia, Serbia, and Spain.
Iceland is mysterious and has the benefit on being on Nordic soil. However, there is balance when it comes to dark songs; is it dark enough to captivate viewers without scaring them away?
Czech Republic is my vote for dark horse of the year; it's an utterly riveting song that is sung magnificently. Though, will it leave a big enough mark to win, especially if it is in the first half of the night at the Grand Final?
Russia is the bookies' favorite thus far and has quite the fan following. It's fun and invites the audience in. Will Russia's real life politics derail their chances at ESC? Will the song be able to woo the juries better than in 2011?
Serbia is another option for a dark horse. I know Croatia is supposed to be tops among the former Yugoslav countries, but I think Serbia has broader appeal when it comes to televotes. But, will the song come across authentic, as it is the least "Balkan" sounding entry from Serbia thus far?
Spain is probably the best dance entry this year and is the brightest (that is, uplifting) song, as well. But, will the staging be able to live up to the energy of the song without detracting from the music?
Ultimately, if I had to choose one song right now as the winner. I would choose…
Czech Republic!
I Stand is, in my opinion, the most complete song this year when taking into account the lyrics, the composition, and the performance. It catches your attention and has the benefit of being a powerful ballad amongst a sea of uptempo numbers. It will stand out, regardless of where it is in the running order, and will take the crown – being the first true ballad to win the Contest since 2011.

ESC 2016 Reviews: First Semi-Final, Part Two
Hello Dear Readers!
The second half of our First Semi-Final. Nine songs and lots to say. Missed yesterday's? Check out the reviews for the first half here.
First Semi-Final, Second Half
*There are three basic ways for a song to be chosen. Internal Selection which is when the broadcaster within a country chooses both the performing artist and the song completely on their own without help from a professional jury or the public. Televised Selection which is the exact opposite, both the performing artist and the song are selected through a competition (or set of competitions) in which some combination of professional jurists and the public vote on the winners. There are also Mixed Selections, in which either the performing artist or the song is selected internally and the other is selected through a televised process. The only example of that this year is Malta, which had a televised selection, but opted to change the song through an internal selection process after Ira Losco won.
So, who do I think will qualify from this semi-final? What are my favorite songs?
Predicted Qualifiers
My Top 10
Austria | Estonia |
Armenia |
Armenia |
Azerbaijan |
Czech Republic |
Croatia | Iceland |
Czech Republic | Malta |
Estonia | Azerbaijan |
Iceland | Russia |
Malta |
Finland |
The Netherlands |
Cyprus |
Russia | Austria |
More importantly, who do I think, from the First Semi-Final, will be competing for the crown?
Well, overall, I think that this is the stronger of the two semi-finals. With that said, I think that three songs have the ability to seriously contend for the victors trophy.
Iceland – It might finally be Iceland's year. The Nordic countries tend to do well when in Sweden, and since Denmark, Norway, and Finland all have weaker entries, Iceland could take advantage of the situation and challenge for the crown. This is a fully complete song. It is performed well by an attractive artist with some name recognition (since she competed in 2012), the composition is moving, and the lyrics are perfectly balanced between being understandable without being too simple.
Russia – A strong pop tune delivered by a cute guy. If this was Sweden or Azerbaijan, I would say that it would be the outright favorite to win. However, Russia still has an uphill climb due to its policies (domestic and foreign) that are…less than ideal. While Russia did manage second place last year, the field of entries is stronger this year. It will take a truly slick performance to stand a chance of capturing the victory.
Czech Republic – A beautiful ballad that is powerfully sung. It stands out in a field of uptempo pop songs and dance tunes. While just getting to Saturday night will be a win in itself for the Czech Republic, this song has everything it takes to go the distance. Watch for this to make a big move on the scoreboard at the Grand Final!
In addition to these three songs, I think that Azerbaijan and Malta will find themselves back in the Top Ten come Saturday night.
**Of course, these are my initial predictions without doing any research into fan sites, internet comments, or betting odds. Stay tuned for future posts (including Saturday's) with more nuanced predictions and, of course, the 2016 edition of Contender or Pretender.

Playlist of the Week: Eurovision for Balladeers!
Happy New Year, Dear Readers!
May this year bring you much love to light your lives, much hope to embolden your spirits, and laughter to brighten your days (and nights)!
This week, we turn our gaze to the most notorious of ESC genres: ballads! Historically, "ballads" were stories that were sung. People who sung these stories were called "troubadours" (much like the title of Dutch winner from 1969). Over time, the term "ballad" became more associated with the musical style than the lyrical content, particularly since most were stories love.
The music style is typified, generally, by a slow pace, a lack of musical complexity, and usually only one (or two) primary vocalist. Since the beginning, this has been the dominant musical genre of ESC entries, to the chagrin of some (who prefer more uptempo songs), but to the joy of many! This week, for the final Playlist of the Week, the focus is on ballads.
Once again, twenty songs from the Televoting Era (post 1998) of the Eurovision Song Contest. I curated this list to provide an array of ballads, some are the traditional story style, most are slow, heartfelt love songs. All are ballads. Enjoy!

Toyota and Microsoft will announce details of their partnership for its "revolutionary in-car experience" Entune which will include voice activated search using Bing through the driver's mobile phone's data plan.
"Entune is a revolutionary in-car experience that keeps you and your Toyota connected. It's never been easier. Just download the Entune mobile app to applicable phones, and you can access a variety of in-car applications from your phone. You can control the applications by using the touch screen or voice commands (Bing only at launch). Entune will be available as an option on select models this year," the Toyota site explained.
While various internet connected devices have been in cars for some years now, this new platform integrates with the driver's phone plan and can access a number of new features (all of which have yet to be detailed). Open Table is one service included that will allow commuting people to make dinner reservations – though apparently you have to be in park to use this one.
How long will be be before someone uses location based searches to find accommodations for road travelers? It would be handy to put in price and rating parameters to find hotels and motels off the exits you are heading to, when you need somewhere to pull in and sleep. Both Google and Bing Maps could be used for some of this. Then Local Search would take on a new meaning and possibly replace the billboards seen on the side of the road. Maybe some clever programmers could create feeds that the cars can capture from broadcast points, offers for any given night based on vacancies etc would be another creative way to take advantage of such search technology.
Mobile devices would become truly mobile with moving search results based on cars' locations.
"Toyota is using a system that relies on the driver's smartphone for many of its functions. The company is hoping this will overcome a long-standing problem with automotive technology: since it is difficult to upgrade hardware built into cars, drivers often end up with obsolete technology after just a few years.
Toyota said users will register their car and phone on a company website and then download the applications to their phones. It is designed to work with "virtually every" phone where an online data plan is available, such as Android-based phones, iPhones and BlackBerrys," said Greg Thome, a spokesman for Toyota, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Fisher FP303 Index
Fisher FP303 Pictures
Fisher FP303 Video
When Fisher�s chief aeronautical engineer accepted the task of building a light plane that was inexpensive, yet a joy to fly, the results were simply amazing.
With its open cockpit and compact form, the FP-303 is wind-in-your-face flying that will take your breath away. The 303�s controls acknowledge your commands quickly and accurately.
Geodetic wood construction ensures the aircraft is solid without feeling heavy, reliable without being burdensome, affordable without sacrificing safety and performance. To build a plane this simple took some pretty complicated engineering. The engineering staff created a computer program to assist in designing and analyzing the geodeditc structures so that the 303 would meet utility category load standards for certified light aircraft.
Using the program as a guide, they simplified the overall air-frame design and replaced many expensive parts with structurally sound but less costly materials.

At once surreal and vivid, intense and intelligent--and impossible to ignore both aurally and visually--the Ohio octet's Universal debut, XX (Double X), delivers a left-of-center fervor, as evidenced in such songs as XX's creepily compelling debut single, 'Solitaire Unraveling'. And the time is certainly ripe for the masked marauders of Mushroomhead to unleash their highly musical, totally unusual, fully compelling onslaught on the public. Inked to Universal in late 2001, Mushroomhead's XX was previously released independently, the updated Universal version remixed by Toby Wright (Alice In Chains) with three additional tracks added. And with the completion of the Dean Karr-produced video (Marilyn Manson) for 'Solitaire Unraveling' the always-impassioned, sometimes spooky soundscape that is Mushroomhead has reached an apex. Since 1993, when the Cleveland-bred octet formed as a side project, no other band was wearing masks and jumpsuits and purveying ultra-melodic, ultra-dramatic music as influenced by Faith No More and Mr. Bungle as it was by hardcore, metal and even techno. In XX, Mushroomhead's years of hard work and hard music have come to a fearsome fruition.

MY STORY Stories From Our Members
The Birth of a Vocation
by Cyndia
November 16, 2016
As far as I can remember, I've always been interested in Science. So, in a certain way, I've always loved Space. But, at first, it wasn't my favourite subject. I was more interested in pyramids, dinosaurs, human evolution, etc. Then, for my 6th birthday, my mother bought me a book about Space. That book introduced me with the Solar System, the Big Bang, black holes and galaxies. I was so fascinated by all that stuff, I could spent hours alone with that book, trying to understand the universe. During the following years, my love for Space became bigger and stronger, ... more »
Mineralogy of other worlds
by Dr John Metcalf-Johansen
November 16, 2016
I'm very interested in the mineralogy and astrobiology of other worlds, especially those in our own Solar System. This is why I became a mineralogist in the first place. I'm very happy for The Planetary Report and news about space exploration. And would've enjoyed being a scientist at NASA, but alas I live in Denmark!
... more »A Love of Space through Science Fiction and Science Fact
by David Lee Summers
November 16, 2016
My love of space started by watching the original Star Trek television series. I was captivated by the idea that there were whole worlds beyond the Earth to learn about and explore.
When I was ten years old, the Viking Landers went to Mars and suddenly, I saw pictures of a real planet. It looked so much like the Southern California desert where I was from that it couldn't help but be real, but so lifeless, it couldn't help but be alien. It was almost certainly then that I decided space exploration had to be part of my life.

text: Keystone is a small unincorporated community, located 3 miles south of Coupeville. The Washington State Ferry leaves from Keystone Harbor across the Admiralty inlet to deliver ferry travelers to the Olympic Peninsula via Port Townsend. The name Keystone was created by Island County government as a promotional logo for the Alaskan-Yukon-Pacific Exposition, an event similar to the world's fair, held in Seattle in 1909. The idea was to capitalize on sea traffic that could only enter Puget Sound via the Strait of Juan de Fuca, which goes right past Whidbey. The full logo read, "Whidbey Island, the Keystone of the Northwest."

I'm curious about my long term options to get more eyebrows? (Photo)
I'm 23 years old at some point in the last four years I've noticed my brows became very uneven I'm curious about my long term options to get more symmetric brows
Doctor Answers 3
Thanks for posting a photo.Do not worry as these days there are many options for eyebrows.Cosmetical as surgical.The best will be to consult with a board certified plastic surgeon.He/she will offer you the best treatment.Good luck
You'll want to see a plastic surgeon for a complete examination of the brow and nerves coordinating movements of the brow. There are cosmetic options, including Botox, as well as surgical options.
I think by the term uneven you are talking about the level of one eyebrow to the other. See a plastic surgeon about this.

Assignment Satisfaction Key
Web access to enlisted assignment information is the key to electronically influencing your career
You can update assignment preferences and related information through a newly developed web application. The "Assignment Satisfaction Key" or "ASK" Internet tool provides the capability to post assignment preference information directly to the Total Army Personnel Database. U.S Army Human Resources Command (HRC) Enlisted Personnel Management Directorate (EPMD) assignment managers will use this information when considering you for assignments.
Under the old "Dream Sheet" days, you could choose from 230 CONUS locations and 280 OCONUS locations, but had little chance of being assigned to any of the locations. "ASK" requires you to select two CONUS locations from a Divisional Installation Listing and one CONUS location form a more expanded listing. You may select three of four OCONUS locations.
By providing you with realistic location options, our goal is to match Army readiness requirements with your preferences. You are contributing to the overall decision process and your vote counts. While U.S Army Human Resources Command (HRC) must still fill unique assignments, the majority of assignment locations will be available for you to select. Those who decline to submit preferences will be assigned according to the needs of the Army.

The Internet and the Plant Engineer
When did the words internet and web first enter your workplace vocabulary? Not too many years ago, these terms were the exception, if they were heard at all. Today, they are an integral part of almost every life.
When did the words internet and web first enter your workplace vocabulary? Not too many years ago, these terms were the exception, if they were heard at all. Today, they are an integral part of almost every life. E-mail, e-commerce, web-based software, among other technological advances pervade -- or invade -- the activities of each day. Almost every organization, company, and brand is now described with ".com" after it. Without a doubt, the internet is changing everything.
Plant engineers are increasingly turning to the internet as a key source of information about products, services, and industry trends. And vendors are responding by broadening their efforts to reach plant engineers and creating interactive sites to attract electronic readership. Are you among the engineering professionals who are using the internet? Is the web a help? Or is it a hindrance? What attracts you to a web site? What sites provide you with the information you need?
Plant Engineering magazine wants to know. We are interested in learning more about how the internet is affecting its readers. We want to find out how you use the web. We'd like to hear how often you "surf the 'net," what you look for, and how your daily tasks have been simplified -- or complicated -- by the internet. Our goal is both to determine patterns of use and to compile a collection of resources that will be of use to the plant engineering function overall.
Please take a few minutes to visit our special web site: www.plantengineering.com/survey sometime during this month and complete the "Internet and the plant engineer" questionnaire you'll find there. Your responses will be tabulated and interpreted, your comments reviewed, and the results published in an upcoming issue of Plant Engineering .
We encourage you to take time to share your opinions, and we thank you for participating in this exclusive report.

Annual Salary Survey
Before the calendar turned, 2016 already had the makings of a pivotal year for manufacturing, and for the world.
There were the big events for the year, including the United States as Partner Country at Hannover Messe in April and the 2016 International Manufacturing Technology Show in Chicago in September. There's also the matter of the U.S. presidential elections in November, which promise to shape policy in manufacturing for years to come.
But the year started with global economic turmoil, as a slowdown in Chinese manufacturing triggered a worldwide stock hiccup that sent values plummeting. The continued plunge in world oil prices has resulted in a slowdown in exploration and, by extension, the manufacture of exploration equipment.

Altered Clipboard
Hi there! Hope you are having a great day! I am here to share just a fun little tutorial! You can do this project in less than an hour and it is super cute!
I found this cute burlap clipboard at Michael's its made by Tim Holtz and comes with lots of fun embellishments BUT they weren't really my style so I went ahead and made it my own!
I started with the blank burlap clipboard and used this awesome Heidi Swapp stencil with white spray ink!
I also painted the actual clip a metallic black, added some hot pink around the edges and a bit here and there. I used my black stamp pad to add some black around the edge of the clipboard!
I added an inked up flower, some feathers and gems and voila done! I love how it turned out! Well I hope you enjoyed my little project have a great day and happy arting friends!

As Mother's Day approaches, a yellow caution light goes off in my brain. My 62nd birthday is coming soon.
My birthday is about two weeks after Mother's Day, much to the dismay of my kids, Marci and Diane (they think they need to come up with two cards and two gifts--NOT), but I tend to use this time of the year to evaluate my aging process.
I look in the mirror and don't see my younger self any longer, and aging is no picnic. We tend to focus on our faces, but let me tell you something: there are so many other signs.
Living in South Florida, I see a great many women who have decided to go the route of plastic surgery. Lots of overdone faces. Don't get me wrong--there are good facelifts and injectable jobs. But the biggest giveaway is how the faces don't seem to go along with the hands attached to the same body.
So this week, my hands are getting the care they deserve, and maybe this will be the start of something good.
In the past, I have not been kind to them. I think of the more than quarter of a million times I've washed them with none of the kindness I've given my face.
So this is what I've decided to do for my long-neglected hands as a Mother's Day and birthday gift to myself.
- When I wash them the numerous times a day that I do, it will be with tepid water and a gentle hand soap, like Nature's Gate Liquid Soap. No dish washing detergent allowed.
- Follow up with a quality hand cream. Marci recommended Caswell-Massey Hand Cream to me.
- Use the wonderful paraffin bath I bought myself a few years ago after I fell into a manhole. (No, seriously, I fell into a manhole. You can ask Marci the story).
- Use a protein treatment on my nails, like Essie Protein Base Coat.
- Cream my hands before bed (get your minds out of the gutter--sorry, Marce) and put on a pair of white bamboo gloves.
My first week being diligent about my hands went well. No major changes in their appearance that I can see except for the blue manicure I gave myself, which is not very well done. (Marci gets those "skills" from me.)
I do feel better about paying more attention to them, though, and I'll try to keep it up as time allows.
Do you take care of your hands as diligently as your face? What do you use? (Marci's grossed out by the paraffin treatment.)

I did go to that Sarakids get together yesterday. But I did not even meet the owner of Sarakids.
Think I'm bluffing ya? Here's the evidence:
Anyway I was really really late. It did not help that I was the one who is driving since there was a little bit 'problem' with husband. Sarakids is located at TTDI Jaya and me being forever hopeless with maps and directions just was really lost. Me and Husayn went out of the house around 3. It is supposed to be sort of pot luck and I promised Mommy Lyna I will bring something and guess what I did finally bring?
A mouth watering, got to have it, yummier than the yummiest mummy (ok saya merepek apa ni.haha) presenting yours truly, made with the tenderest hand (my hand lah tu! hihi) - TRIFLE!
But......nobody at the gathering managed to taste or even look at this trifle. You see, I was actually lost for one hour around Shah Alam that I nearly gave up and nearly go straight to the Federal Highway to go home. If not thinking that I have to pass Mommy Lyna's and FoxyFarah's prizes for the Malaysian Supermummy Amazing Blogger Award I would have gone straight home.
I finally reached the place at 4.30 and to think the gathering started around 2 something! Met Mommy Sofia at the parking lot and really, comel sangat Sofia tu! So there I was dragging Husayn along while holding the trifle in one hand. But of course then, Husayn has to scream and cry because he has this 'thing' with mingling around with strangers. I managed to meet up with Mommy Lyna and Foxy Farah and both of them were really nice though Husayn was literally screaming in their ears. I also managed to meet a few other's mommies.
But then as the screaming started to get to unbearable I guess I just have to go. I did not even manage to drink or eat anything at the gathering *sob*sob* And worst of all, since everything has been kacau bilau with Husayn's screaming, did not even manage to take any pics with the mommies, did not even manage to take part in the ramai-ramai photo session and I also had to take the trifle back with me. Haha. Now I really feel buruk siku! I would like to apologise since I had to leave in a rush and I did not even get to open the bekas trifle. Ish.
Anyway look at the above face. He stopped crying as soon as he enter the car!
We ended up at Taman Tasik Kelana Jaya where he was grinning happily playing at the park.
Memang nak kena Husayn ni..ish!

Kripke, Saul Aaron Books on Amazon |
Rules | Wright: Rule sequences/Kripke: In Wittgenstein "skeptical paradox": negates any possibility of rules and meanings containing real limitations. At the end remains the attempt to keep afloat with the Charybdis. --- Wright I 264 McDowellVsKripke: Error, the destruction of the Scylla (Platonism, divine standpoint) is to be understood as the logical core of the dispute over rules. In reality, the destruction is merely a logical sentence. McDowell: Wittgenstein's concern was to show that both horns are based on an inflated conception of fact and objectivity. --- Wright I 264 ff Kripke's Wittgenstein/Wright: "Skeptical Paradox": Step 1: Debate on any apparent assertion, e.g. that I formally meant addition when I said "+" in the past. Then I have defended this against a skeptic. Now one should conclude that, even if I lost this fight, no conclusion about the reality of meanings, rules, and so on would be foreseeable. So the epistemology of assertions about meaning would be no more understandable under the pressure of skepticism than the epistemology of the past or of the material world or the minds of others are still. But that would be a mistake! E.g. In attempting to justify that I meant addition with "+" in the past, I am granted complete reproduction of all aspects of my mental life. All relevant facts would have to show in my behavior and my mental life, and therefore be graspable by me. Now if I lose anyway, it becomes apparent that there are no such facts. Wright: In the argument, no over-objectification of the nature appears as a premise! The only assumption: that facts about my previous meanings must have appeared in my behavior. --- Wright I 264 ff WrightVsKripke: But that is vulnerable: However, it is not a mistake of sublimation of the rules (raise to a higher level). If anything is unprotected against the skeptical paradox, then a humanized Platonism is no less so than the over-objectified version. Quietism/Kripke's Wittgenstein/Wright: Is definitely obliged to quietism: because realism (that there are no facts regarding any rules) must be inflated to a comprehensive irrealism. An irrealism of the meaning must therefore trigger an irrealism of the truth. Global Minimalism/WrightVs: that's deceptive simplicity! Properly considered, the result of the irrealism based on Kripke's skeptical paradox is that the discourse on rules is minimally capable of being true, at most. --- Wright I 264 ff. Kripke's Wittgenstein: no behavior allows conclusions on internal rules (in the past) about addition, therefore these are also no rules about meaning, not even in the present, therefore also not on truth as well! |

Chapter 6 Digital System Design 242-208 Digital Systems and Logic Designs
Content Programmable Logic Devices (PLDs) PLD programming Combinational PLDs Sequential PLDs Field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) Systematic Design ASM methods and charts Controller and data processor designs References
PLD: Why we need ? Design is more economical to implement using a few Large chips than many small chips. Design and fabrication time for VLSI chips are extremely long PLD can be mage in large volume and PROGRAMMED to implement large numbers of different low-volume designs
What is PLD ? An IC that contains large numbers of gates, flip-flops, etc. that can be configured by the user to perform different functions Two PLD types which are : SPLD (Simple PLD) CPLSs (Complex PLD)
PLD programming methods: Antifuse technology Two metal layers sandwich a layer of non-conductive, amorphous silicon. When voltage is applied to this middle layer, the amorphous silicon is turned into polysilicon, which is conductive. After
PLD programming methods: Floating gate Used in EPROM device !! High voltage applied to the Drain, electrons jump to gate 1 Current cannot passed since no channel for carrier charge. Potential energy is still high !! UV light strikes electrons, causes more enough energy for electrons to j ump back to the channel, The transistor starts conducting !!
PLD programming methods: SRAM
Combinational PLD:PROM Programmable Read Only Memory (PROM) : A memory device that stores data at specific locations that can be addressed through a set of address pins. Another view : a large array of AND gates followed by a large array of OR gates
Combinational PLD:PLA Programmable Logic Array (PAL) : Both arrays of logic AND and OR are programmable
Combinational PLD:PAL Programmable Array Logic (PAL) consists of a programmable array of AND gates that connect to a fixed array of OR gates The PAL structure allows any SOP expression with a defined number of variables to be implemented
Combinational PLD:GAL A PAL that can be reprogrammed.
Sequential PLD: Consists of combinational PLDs with a set of FFs. See the diagram of IC PAL16R8.
Sequential PLD: Implement three-bit Gray code counter using PAL16R8
Complex PLD Programmable PLD blocks Programmable interconnects Electrically erasable links
Field Programmable Gate Array Why we need FPGA ? Large complex functions(millions gates) Customised design Expensive to design (in small quantities) Hard to design and long design cycles Not reprogrammable High risks Limited complexity Thousands of gates Cheap and easy to design Reprogrammable
Field Programmable Gate Array Why we need FPGA ? Inexpensive Easy and rapid design Prototyping Reprogrammable
Field Programmable Gate Array Simple programmable Logic blocks Massive of programmable interconnects FPGA architecture
FPGA CLB Look up table FF, registers, clock storage elements MUX CLB FPGA architecture
FPGA CLB with Look Up Table LUT contains memory cells to implement logic function Each cell holds '0' or '1' Programmed with outputs of truth table Inputs select content of one of the cells as output
What is in a LUT ? 4 input – 16 outputs LUT requires 16 storage elements with 16 latches.
FPGA CLB Larger logic functions built by connecting many CLBs together
Programmable routing Connections routing signals between CLBs Determined by SRAM cells
Programmable routing
Switch matrix
FPGA : I/O Blocks
Systematic Design For circuit design: small circuit : gate-level design (truth tables, K maps, etc) large circuit : block-level design (ICs) Larger digital systems need more abstract and systematic design techniques. Systematic design methodology : Top-down approach Partitioning Developing overall architecture Detailing hardware.
Systematic Design : Top-down approach Starting from original problem and gradually refine it towards solution. Steps for a top-down design procedure: Specify the problem clearly (at global/top level without unnecessary details). Break the problem into smaller sub-problems. Repeat the process until sub-problems are small enough to be solved directly.
Systematic Design : Top-down approach Relevant to goal-directed approach State goal, then find sub-goals to solve main goal. Repeat until sub-goals are directly solvable.
Systematic Design : Partitioning A digital system consists of two components A control algorithm (Controller) An architecture (Data processor) Control unit (Controller) Data Processor (Architecture) Commands Input data External command Status condition Output data
ASM Algorithmic State Machine (ASM) Chart is a high-level flowchart-like notation to specify the hardware algorithms in digital systems to obtain "control" and "data processor" units. Major differences from flowcharts are: only three box types:- 1) state box (similar to operation box), 2) decision box 3) conditional box contains exact (or precise) timing information while flowcharts impose a relative timing order for the operations.
Components of ASM chart State box Rectangular shape One entry point and one exit point Used to specify one or more operations which could be simultaneously completed in one clock cycle. one or more operations state binary code
Components of ASM chart Decision box Diamond in shape One entry point but multiple exit points Used to specify a number of alternative paths that can be followed. deciding factors
Components of ASM chart Conditional box Rectangle with rounded corners Always follows a decision box and contains one or more conditional operations that are only invoked when the path containing the conditional box is selected by the decision box. conditional operations
Example of using ASM chart Initial state S A 0 F 0 A A + 1 A2A2 E 0E 1 A3A3 F 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 T2T2 T1T1 T0T0 Init S=0 if S equal 1 { A = 0 F = 0 } increase A if A2 equal 1 { E =1 if A3 equal 1 { F = 1 }
Register operation Registers present in the data processor for storing and processing data. Flip-flops (1-bit registers) and memories (set of registers) are also considered as registers. The register operations are specified in either the state and/or conditional boxes, and are written in the form: destination register function(other registers)
Timing in ASM charts Initial state S A 0 F 0 A A + 1 A2A2 E 0E 1 A3A3 F 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 T2T2 T1T1 T0T0 Precise timing is implicitly presented in ASM charts. Each state box, together with its immediately following decision and conditional boxes, occurs within one clock cycle. A group of boxes which occur within a single clock cycle is called an ASM block.
Timing in ASM charts Operations of ASM can be illustrated through a timing diagram. Two factors which must be considered are operations in an ASM block occur at the same time in one clock cycle decision boxes are dependent on the status of the previous clock cycle (that is, they do not depend on operations of current block)
Timing in ASM charts A = A 4 A 3 A 2 A 1 Initial state S A 0 F 0 A A + 1 A2A2 E 0E 1 A3A3 F 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 T2T2 T1T1 T0T0 Operations A0F0A0F0 A A+1 E 0 A A+1 E 0 A A+1 E 1 A A+1 E 1 A A+1 E 0 A A+1 E 0 A A+1 E 1 F1F1 Operations
Digital system synthesis From ASM chart, we can synthesize Controller logic (via State Table/Diagram) Architecture/Data Processor Design of controller is determined from the decision boxes and the required state transitions. Design requirements of data processor can be obtained from the operations specified with the state and conditional boxes.
Controller synthesis procedure Step 1: Identify all states and assign suitable codes. Step 2: Draw state diagram. Step 3: Formulate state table using State from state boxes Inputs from decision boxes Outputs from operations of state/conditional boxes. Step 4: Obtain state/output equations and draw circuit.
Controller synthesis Initial state S A 0 F 0 A A + 1 A2A2 E 0E 1 A3A3 F 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 T2T2 T1T1 T0T0 T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 Assign codes to states: T 0 = 00 T 1 = 01 T 2 = 11 Inputs from conditions in decision boxes. Outputs = present state of controller.
Controller synthesis Decoder + D flip-flops -suitable for moderately large controllers. - procedure: use decoder to obtain individual states; from the state table, obtain the next- state functions by inspection. The flip-flop input functions can be obtained directly from the state table by inspection. This is because for the D flip-flops, the next state = flip-flop D input. Decoder is then used to provide signals to represent different states.
Controller synthesis D Q D Q 2x4 decoder T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 unused G1G1 G0G0 ? ? clock Given the state table: The inputs of the D flip-flops for G 1 and G 0 are DG 1 = T 1.A 2.A 3 DG 0 = T 0.S + T 1
Controller synthesis D Q D Q 2x4 decoder T0T0 T1T1 T2T2 unused G1G1 G0G0 clock A2A2 A3A3 S
Data processor synthesis Architecture is more difficult to design than controller. Nevertheless, it can be deduced from the ASM chart. In particular, the operations from the ASM chart determine: What registers to use How they can be connected What operations to support How these operations are activated. Guidelines: always use high-level units simplest architecture possible.
Data processor synthesis Initial state S A 0 F 0 A A + 1 A2A2 E 0E 1 A3A3 F 1 0 0 0 1 1 1 T2T2 T1T1 T0T0 Various operations are: Counter incremented (A A + 1) when state = T 1. Counter cleared (A 0) when state = T 0 and S = 1. E is set (E 1) when state = T 1 and A 2 = 1. E is cleared (E 0) when state = T 1 and A 2 = 0. F is set (F 1) when state = T 2. Deduce: One 4-bit register A (e.g.: 4-bit synchronous counter with clear/increment). Two flip-flops needed for E and F (e.g.: JK flip-flops).
Data processor synthesis Controller K J Q K J Q Clk 4-bit syn. counter A A2A2 A1A1 A2A2 A3A3 A3A3 A4A4 start S E F clock CP count clear T2T2 T1T1 T0T0

Greek authorities detained four terrorism suspects on Saturday, including a man believed to be the ringleader of a Belgian jihadi cell as part of an increase in European counterterrorism efforts.
The four suspects were arrested separately in Athens, an unnamed Greek police official told the Associated Press. Among them was a man who matched the description of Abdelhamid Abaaoud, who Belgian authorities believe was behind the jihadist cell dismantled in Belgium on Thursday.

Probably each of us resolves the question of how to save electricity? What about reducing consumption from 75W to 10W? Now with that can help top energy saving LED bulb E27 Nanoleaf Bloom 6000K, which fully replaces the traditional 75W bulb.
The manufacturer guarantees lasting LED bulbs to 30,000 hours. At an average of 3 hours per day will be lit by daylight for 27 years!
Perhaps you know that if you want to dim the brightness of a light bulb, you must be connected to a special dimmer switch. These are not additional costs.
LED bulb E27 Nanoleaf Bloom offers a special feature that solves it without expensive dimmers. Dimmed, it can cvakacím ordinary switch. Just put the bulb into the socket E27 and the rest are already covered by its electronics. After turning gradually accrues about 5 seconds at maximum power. Click, switch to shut down-turn, during this time, set the desired lighting level.
Until further off lights set brightness. An interesting feature is the night light mode. Selecting a fast trojcvaknutím - on-off-switch on when approaching bulbs. Subsequently, her performance drops to 0.3W negligible and the lighting is dim.
Specifications can be changed without notice. Images are for illustrative purposes only. Retail Price (MSRP) means the manufacturer's/supplier's suggested retail price.

The Strange Birth of Neoliberalism
The paper interprets the neoliberalism' of Friedman, Hayek (and others), as a partly successful doctrinal reformulation of 'historical liberalism' that certain material realities had by the mid-20th century proved solvent of. It argues that in the post-War period it was the doctrinal reformulations of political and individual freedom associated with neoliberalism that re-established the potency of ideas of 'free market and 'limited government'.
