Ok, this is a confession. For some reason, it makes me SUPER uncomfortable to say it. But...
Maybe I didn't want to tell anyone because I don't feel qualified. Or perhaps it's because it makes me feel really vulnerable, but I've always promised to be real and raw. To be "an open book" to those around me.
And now, with the Lord's guidance...I am.
God has asked me to write this book for a long time now. And I've ignored Him. "Lord, I have six kids...I don't have time for that!" I would tell Him. I mean quite honestly, it's a ridiculous notion. I hardly have time to brush my teeth twice a day, let alone spend hundreds of hours writing on my computer.
I realize we have a unique story but truly, other than my husband and my sweet family, who would read it? Well, probably my best friend. That makes maybe 8 people.
As I continued to ignore and refuse God's leading to put together the book that will hopefully be one day in your hands, the Lord began to give me visions. Well, slight...almost there visions. It's like He'd hand me binoculars and tell me to look through them. Just as things were becoming clear, He'd snatch them away before really seeing what it was. Sigh.
More days, weeks, and months began to pass and I had this relentless and uncompromising feeling like something was missing. In the past, that feeling has resulted in {another} adopted child. But since we've only recently brought home a baby daughter and teenage son from Ethiopia, I doubted that's what it was this time.
So because I'm apparently a little dense {or perhaps just blonde}, I began to ask God what it is I was missing. What was He trying to tell me? "Lord, reveal it to me. Show me what it is You're trying to tell me."
Oh. The book. It's the book, I realized.
I finally knelt before our Father and surrendered myself to Him once again, remembering that which I've prayed many times through the years: I want Him to use me and His plans for my life are indeed so much bigger and better than mine ever are or ever could be.
So I have begun to write. Many naptimes have been spent at my laptop, praying that my little crazies actually sleep so I can get a few pages or simply a couple paragraphs written. Luckily for me, my husband Ben has been telling me to write a book as well {not so strangely, he began urging me about the same time God did}...so he sometimes tosses me the keys to my car and tells me to go to Starbucks for a few hours so I can work without the wonderful chaos that is now our life.
And now I'm excited. I've gone from thinking I'd better do this before God gets my attention by sending a big whale to swallow me up...or something equally as dramatic {see Jonah}. To praying what He wants me to write, what stories to include, and more importantly, how to help you come away from this book feeling encouraged and empowered in your own life.
I don't want this to be simply our family's story...I want rather, for you to understand that even if adoption won't likely be part of your personal story, there is so much to learn and grow in your relationship with Christ through these pages.
I'm about 25,000 words in {a little over 50 pages} and have so much more to go.
Would you pray for me? Pray that I know where to take this?
Do I attempt the traditional route and find a literary agent and try to get in with a publishing house? {ahem...know anyone? message me!}
...or do I publish it myself? I have no idea.
All I know is that the Lord has told me this is an issue of obedience, and because I know His plans are bigger than mine could ever be, obedient I will remain.

If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you are part of the baby boomer 50's generation. That means you're somewhere between your early and early 70's. Hard to believe, but we're not youngsters anymore! (We may be in our heads, but our bodies tell a different tale!) Now, what does this mean regarding life insurance?
Even though we are all baby boomers, the difference between what's available to you and its' cost is quite significant as we age. The difference from early 50's to mid to late 60's is significant. Additionally, many of us have health changes that impact the ability to purchase and the cost of life insurance. For most people term insurance is the best choice for larger death benefits at an affordable cost and so this information will focus on what is appropriate for the largest group of baby boomers today.
By now you realize that simply picking the lowest cost carrier for coverage may not be in your best interest. As you know, many factors come into play when you apply for life insurance. Talk to an independent life insurance agent and find out about the different types of policies to choose from. Find out which type will best meet your objectives.
An independent life insurance agent has access to many more carriers than you can find easily on the internet. Understanding the finer points of how your life insurance policy works will give you the peace of mind you and your family deserve. Call us today, we'll be happy to help. (800) 698-7033.

Dig In
Can everyone cook? That's a question I've been asked frequently since I published the first cookbook in my Everyone Can Cook series in 2003. More than 15 years later, with seven books in the series, my response to that query has remained the same: Yes, they can!
To me, it's not whether or not you can cook; it's whether or not you have the desire, the confidence and the inspiration to do so. If you have those traits, learning to cook, or improving the cooking skills you already have, can be a very tasty experience.
If you don't have those traits, I hope that my cookbooks and this website will help you develop them. But I'm also writing for those of you who already enjoy cooking, but are seeking a reliable source of straightforward but delicious recipes, great cooking tips and other practical culinary information.
Visit my routinley updated Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/chefericakis for links to recent newspaper columns, recipes and other exploits. You'll also find links to some of my past food columns below.

To view numerous other columns on all sorts of cooking related topics, go the Times Colonist's Cooking with Eric blog here cooking-with-eric
Saltimbocca gives chicken an Italian twist
When you eat saltimbocca, you soon discover why the cook who first made it determined that tender meat, prosciutto, sage and a wine-laced sauce did not need a whole bunch of other ingredients to enhance that combination's already superb flavour. Here's a link to my column about the dish and a recipe for it timescolonist.com
Miso soup makes a comforting dinner
I always keep a tub of miso in my refrigerator. I like to have it at the ready when I need a quick and easy Asian-style ingredient to richen the flavour of something such as a salad dressing, marinade, glaze or, of course, a soup. The latter is what I did in this column, where I created a main-course miso-flavoured with soup stocked with tofu, rice and vegetables timescolonist.com
Roasted squash gives tacos fall flair
I enjoy making and eating tacos, because you can fill them in all kinds of tasty ways, my favourite being seasonal fillings. In this column that meant filling tacos with roasted squash, red cabbage and a range of other tasty things. Here's a link to the article timescolonist.com

Exploring Psychology Careers Essay Sample
Everyone who decides to enroll in college must, at some point, think about what area they want to major in. There are many things that students consider when choosing a major. Some make their decision based on what they think can make them the most money once they begin their lives in the work force. However, many students believe that if you choose a major that interests you and challenges you then you can use those skills that can help you in any career. (R. Landrum & S. Davis, 2014) Let's face it. Employers know that when they hire someone straight out of college they are not immediately going to know everything there is to know about their position they were hired for. That is what on-the-job training is for. However, employers do expect college graduates, despite what their major was, to be excellent communicators, be well-rounded, and have the ability to be trained and have the ability to learn new things. Psychology is a degree program that produces those well-rounded, well-educated people.
Psychologically literate people have an expansive vocabulary, are able to use scientific thinking, be creative when solving problems by looking at all angles, have integrity, act ethically, and are insightful about others' behavior and their own. (R. Landrum et al, 2014) Therefore, although obtaining a Bachelor's degree in Psychology is not a professional degree and one cannot be a Psychologist with a Bachelor's, one gains a myriad of skills that are very marketable no matter the profession one is choosing after graduation. McGovern, Furumoto, Halpern, Kimble, and McKeachie (1991) made this point clear when they stated that "a liberal arts education in general, and the study of psychology in particular, is a preparation for lifelong learning, thinking, and action; it emphasizes specialized and general knowledge and skills."
Although there are numerous areas of specialization in the field of psychology, for the purpose of this paper, I will only expand on two- Clinical and Forensic Psychology. According to the American Psychological Association (APA) website "Psychologists who provide clinical or counseling services assess and treat mental, emotional and behavioral disorders. They integrate the science of psychology and the treatment of complex human problems with the intention of promoting change." ("Pursuing A Career In Clinical Or Counseling Psychology", 2014).) In the simplest terms, "the study of individuals, by observation or experimentation, with the intention of promoting change." (Compas, Bruce, & Gotlib, 2002) Clinical psychologist careers vary in industries such as research, integrated health care, teaching, public policy and professional practice. Some clinical psychologists work exclusively on specific mental, emotional, and behavioral issues. Relationship conflict and conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder and addiction are a few examples of areas of specialization for a clinical psychologist.
According to the APA website (2014), in order to become a clinical psychologist the journey begins with a bachelor's degree in psychology. Next the student must obtain a graduate degree. Each graduate program determines its own entrance requirements. Some doctoral programs require their applicants to have a master's degree in psychology. Other people enter doctoral programs with only a bachelor's degree. Most doctoral degrees take five to seven years to complete. You must also pass a comprehensive exam and write and defend a dissertation. If you want to become a psychologist in clinical psychology you will also have to complete a one-year internship. A clinical psychologist's salary varies depending on the work setting, experience, and location of work. "In May 2011, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the median annual salary of clinical psychologists was $67,800." ("Pursuing A Career In Clinical Or Counseling Psychology", 2014).
According to "Forensic And Public Service Psychology Serves Communities" (2014), "The skills and expertise of forensic psychologists are in high demand. Forensic psychologists work in numerous job settings including private practices, government, military, academia, prisons and psychiatric facilities." Forensic psychologists work in a wide range of settings. They may testify in court in a personal injury suit about how someone's life was affected by the injuries they sustained. They may also assist veterans in their transition to life after war. Forensic psychologists might work on cases involving child abuse or be the one that determines the defendant's sanity. They are qualified to say whether or not a suspect knows right from wrong. According to "A Career In Forensic And Public Service Psychology" (2014), "Psychologists in this field may work in prisons, rehabilitation centers, police departments, courthouses, law firms, schools, government agencies or private practices. They are needed to determine whether a suspected criminal has a mental illness, for example, and are called upon to treat incarcerated individuals with substance abuse and addiction issues."
Individuals interested in taking the forensic and public service psychology career route should follow an educational path that is focused on psychology, criminology, and forensics. Students can earn a bachelor's degree in psychology with a focus on criminology or criminal justice. They can also earn a bachelor's degree in criminal justice or criminology with a focus on psychology. A doctoral degree in clinical or counseling psychology is usually required to become a forensic and public service psychologist. According to "What You Can Earn" (2014), "As of October 2013, most forensic and public service psychologists made between $33,891 and $121,931 annually, but tenure reigns; those who stay in the field for a while can earn between $200,000 and $400,000."
While salaries can range greatly depending on the sector of employment, most entry-level positions for those with a doctoral degree start between $60,000 and $70,000 annually. Salaries for those with a bachelor's or master's degree generally start around $35,000 or $40,000 a year. In conclusion, there are many choices to consider when choosing a major. Psychology is an excellent choice because it provides the building blocks for a well-rounded, well-educated person that is able to think critically, learn quickly, and think independently. Employers are looking for people with these attributes more so than a specific degree. There are also many specialized areas within psychology- clinical and forensic being the two I discussed. Both have the opportunity to help people and their communities greatly.

More and more car manufacturers are taking their first tentative steps into the world of fully electric or plug-in cars, so we thought we would create a handy guide to let them know what helps when it comes to selling these cars.
Understandable Range Figures
Arguably one of the two most important aspects of a plug in vehicle. The first question anyone goes to is: 'How far can I travel?' But unfortunately, the answer gets complicated very quickly.
Sure, you can start talking about different driving styles, drag coefficients and how external factors will always have an influence but by this point many people will have switched off.
Official range statistics are just as bad. While the NDEC cycle produces widely optimistic range estimates the more reasonable EPA cycles can also mislead. There are two fundamental issues, as far as we can see at Transport Evolved.
A Single Figure
All of the range estimation cycles produce a single figure. This is then boldly promoted by the manufacturer as 'The Range'. It is completely understandable that a potential buyer will see this and assume that the car can reach that figure in all circumstances. This is essentially the EV verson of the 'miles per gallon' problem that many car makers are dealing with.
The Mystery Behind the Cycles
What do the cycles test? How many people can answer that? Not many, we would guess. What is involved? How much weight is loaded in to the car? Can it simulate regen or coasting?
Without knowing the parameters of the test cycle we can't use its results with any certainty. For example:
On the Mark Test Cycle One the 2011 Nissan Leaf can go 98 miles. Great. But what we are not telling you is that the car is being driven by our lightest friend (who hasn't eaten for two days) with no passengers or luggage. She is coasting instead of breaking and is travelling mostly downhill on a warm day.
On the Mark Test Cycle Two the very same car only gets 35 miles. It's being driven by the portly Mark Chatterley himself, fully loaded with camera and video equipment, four friends after a heavy Sunday lunch and we are heading up one of the 20% hills that are around his house… in the rain.
Test cycle figures are meaningless without knowing what the test cycle is doing.
Alternating Current
Which standard do you go with? This question is fairly easy if you are making a car for the US market. Go for Type 1 – also know as 'J1772'. This is used everywhere. Out and about cars will be able to pull up to around 7kW of power from public posts.
In Europe we have a different AC standard called Type 2 – aka 'Mennekes'. This allows us to make use of the three-phase power that is pretty much everywhere. But, alas, this hasn't stopped cars being released with a Type 1 connector on them, forcing owners to drag around adapter cables to be able to plug in to public charging.
So that seems fairly simple. US = Type 1. EU = Type 2.
Direct Current
The most deployed standard at the moment is CHAdeMO. So maybe it is sensible to go with this? But this isn't the agreed standard in either the US or the EU where the Combo Standard (CCS) has been agreed – this is essentially a Type 1 or 2 plug with two extra pins glued on.
The choice here, it seems, is go with what is readily available or what is agreed. At Transport Evolved we'd suggest that the best route to go down would depend on how much you are willing to support the charging infrastructure. If you don't want to get your hands dirty in that way, go with CHAdeMO. If you want to help build a network, go for CCS.
We're purposely avoiding the Tesla SuperCharger standard here as there hasn't been any suggestions of Tesla licensing the technology out. Although, in the EU where they use a modified Type 2 connector this could pretty much give Tesla the de facto standard.
Normality (Looks)
Do you want your car to look like a 'normal' car so as not to put off potential buyers who just want to get from A to B with as little energy as possible? Or do you want your car to make a statement? The issue with the former is that some people might want to stand out; conversely the issue with the latter is that you are making each and every buyer make the same statement as you.
This may be one of the hardest decisions for a manufacturer when designing their first plug-in car.
Let's go back to the EV1. Not the most conventional looking car – in fact, one word that we like to use to describe it, even now, is futuristic. It screams, 'I am different.' And depending on who you talk to, that either worked too well, or not at all. Take a guess which side of that we at Transport Evolved are on.
In more modern cars, the Mitsubishi i(MiEV) isn't exactly conventional looking and it doesn't really have the sales to back it up as a mainstream electric car – although it does have a loyal driver-base. The Nissan Leaf is a little 'bug-eyed' but still maintains a reasonable sales record.
In the higher end of the market, the Model S is a very 'normal' looking car and is selling well; but the Fisker Karma – conventional-looking as it was – never sold in particularly high numbers.
These is no real 'right' answer to this question – and we are sure that manufacturers have access to far more information about their potential customers than we do. We would suggest that any manufacturer looks long and hard at what they want to do with their plug-in car. If it is for the customer – rather than just for, say, California law – then look into what the customer expects. Many brands can take a look-at-me car, some can't.
Price has to come in to it. How much money are people willing to spend? How much are they willing to spend on your car? Two subtly different questions.
Tesla has shown that there are a lot of people willing to spend a lot of money on a high-end car but is this a model that all makers should be following? No.
We often hear that the main cost of a plug-in car is the battery – our suggestion would be to make this count. Make the battery as big as the cost of the car will allow. Even to the point of pushing what could be 'standard' features into the 'optional extra'. At the moment, in the EV world, range is king.
One feature that many plug-in drivers would love is the option to choose the size of their battery pack. Believe it or not, and some manufacturers refuse to believe this, some drivers of electric cars want to be able to drive more than 70 miles without recharging.
It could be argued that the move towards pluggable cars takes cars towards a more 'technology sales' model rather than the traditional 'car sales' model. Tesla is showing that people like this approach: Buying online, having a base model they can 'spec up' and – dare we say it – upgrade.
Dealer Knowledge
This is the elephant in the room when it comes to plug-in cars. Manufacturers' own sales people just don't 'get' the cars. Asking 'petrol head' sales people to sell an electric car is like asking a vegan to sell prime cut steak. It just doesn't work. You can teach them all the buzz words, facts and figures, but they will always see these cars as different.
From our own experience at Transport Evolved, and from what we gather from some of our readers, these cars could be sold so much better. Getting the sales people to a point where they know more than the potential buyers would be a good start.
Transport Evolved thinks that if a manufacturer were to concentrate and think about these five areas their potential EV would stand a good chance of being a very good seller. What do you think?

Parental Involvement in Twenty-First Century Schools and the Implications of the Changing Family Structure: Recommendations for Leaders

The purpose of this mixed-methods study is to identify major factors that directly
affect parental involvement in 21st century schools. This study examined several
elements of parental involvement. It calculated the idea of the changing family
context and parental involvement, technology and parental involvement, the impact
of Cultural Capital and parental involvement, the impact of the Academic Parent
Teacher Teams program and parental involvement, and parents' demographics
and parental involvement. Data gathered to inform the research were derived from
parent surveys and teachers and administrators interviews. The research
examined the relationship between the parental involvement and parents'
perception of the school's accessibility, parents' perception of school's
communication, parents' perception of the school's climate, parent's perception
of their role in student's learning, teachers' perceptions of the role of technology,
parents' perceptions of the usefulness of the Academic Parent Teacher Teams
(APTT) Program, teachers' perceptions of the usefulness of the APTT Program,
Cultural Capital, and parents' demographics: level of education, occupation,
socioeconomic level, parental structure, ethnicity, and marital status parental. The
benefits of the research are to inform educators how to structure programs that will
directly assist parents on how to help their children more effectively at home, to
reeducate parents on how to unpack standards, and measure the successfulness
of a program that helped to bridge the gap between family and school. The surveys
and interviews were administered at the elementary school located in Atlanta.
The researcher focused this work on studies examining the associations
between family, home and school because these associations began emerging as
efforts to assess the efficacy of governmental programs and other interventions. In
the late 1990s, scholarly attention turned to "community control of schools,
especially in the education of low-income children, special education students, and
English language learners" (McKenna & Millen, 2013, p. 14). These researchers
sought to recommend strategies that would promote parent, family, and community
involvement. These areas and these children were considered as the ones that
could benefit the most from parental involvement. The results from these studies
seek to add more clarity on how educators today can enlighten schools on how to
bridge the family and school gap in the 21st century.

I must say that I am a little late to jump on the bandwagon and review this much hyped rich colour lipstick + smoothing primer from Clinique. I love the wide range of shades they have to offer and instinctively I had my eye on their red shade but had to hold back; got too many reds already. So, I finally settled for the shade Sweet pop which is beautiful/gorgeous pink mauve(y) subtle shade great for every day wear.
As it goes my lips don't do justice to this shade; yes its true blame it on my lip pigmentation. This shade looks fabulous in swatches but how much ever I try it on my lips it just doesn't feel right. Don't get me wrong I love these lip pops and they have tons of different shades to choose from; but I think this shade would flatter fair skinned women and the ones who do not have pigmented lips. Ok, enough of me ranting about the shade and let's get to how amazing this Pop Lip colour is.
First impression; love the packaging, shade picking is much easier with this sort of packaging. The lipstick bullet is quite sturdy giving a smooth and easy application on the lips. The built in primer moisturises and nourishes the lips, so no lip balm needed; and the lipstick adds that much needed colour. It can be applied sheer and is buildable as per personal preference. Oh! And it can also be used as a stain which I prefer doing looks subtle and not overdone.
I think I will purchase the red shade in this; what can I say one can seldom go wrong with red. Priced at INR 1,600/3.9g this double duty lip product is quite handy and a must in the handbag.

These girls love each other! :)
Abbott helped Jack get some toilet paper.
Abbott, being silly.
We tried to see some cousins while we were in town so we went to Laura's softball game and then to dinner with Gib & family. Jenna seemed to like Jacey ok and Jack & Abbott had fun playing soccer with her and Chase. It was great to visit with them.
This photo was totally un-posed. I just said, "Jack, look at Mommy" and he put his arm around Abbott. I also wish he'd let me fix his hair "crazy" like this. I think he looks so cute!
Jacey really enjoyed snuggling with Gib & Angie & rooting for Laura's softball team. They lost the game we were at, but ended up winning the championship!
Laura & her boyfriend met us for dinner and I made her take a picture. She doesn't like it when I do that, but that's too bad! :)
Kelly introduced me to GiGi's cupcakes. It's mostly icing with some cake but they are sooo good (but not as good as Kelly's). Jack & Abbott got a strawberry cupcake. Mine was called Miss Princess (of course!) and Kelly's was Texas Star (or something like that).
Abbott enjoyed his cupcake.
They needed to work off some of the sugar so they rode each other's bikes.
And blew some bubbles.
And were just insanely cute together.
Jacey enjoyed her time outside, too. She just relaxed in the shade.
Jacey attended her first baseball game & it was a win for the Nashville Sounds! She also slept through the fireworks show at the end of the game.
We all had a good time at the game!
The boys got a little silly toward the end. It was getting pretty late.
Abbott is still excited about the game & fireworks, though!
Suddenly, we had more babies in the house. This was a fun game for them for a long time. They would take turns laying in the carseat and having the other cover them up. As simple as this game was, it sure did make them laugh. Janet also had a tent set up that Abbott plays in. At one point they were playing in it and laughing uncontrollably. At one point I heard Jack say, "Abbott, we can't stop laughing!"

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Shingu' tag.
To quote Wikipedia, "There is no evidence on any link between the modern romantic connotations of modern Saint Valentine's Day and the rites of the ancient Roman festival, despite many claims by many authors."
Translation: Marketing people made up bullshit and tarnish the fucking name of one or more early Christian martyrs named Saint Valentine just to make money. I am not a Christian yet I find that to be very offensive and insulting.
Valentine day is just a marketing tool that was forcefully pushed down your throat and encouraged consumerism which programs you to splash big money on this shallow, meaningless day. You shouldn't conform with this bullshit and let greedy corporate earn your hard earned money by jacking up their price during this "Special Day".
So if your girlfriend asks you for a Valentine celebration, fuck her and dump her (figuratively and literally) because she is stupid. Otherwise, educate her so to make sure your future offspring won't become a dumbass. There is no reason you should follow something made up by someone and let them control your life.
Anyway, take your anniversary and make that your Valentine Day instead, that will be more meaningful.
Shingu is a weird show; go watch the first 3 episodes then drop it because you find it to be slow and nothing happen for long stretch of time. I wrote this because this is supposed to be an anime blog so I must force some anime shit out of my ass.

Once I wanted to hide some ribbon options for a given permission set. Basically, in SharePoint 2010 the rich text content area allows to insert web part directly on it. I wanted to security trim so, only the users that has Contributor permission level or higher would be able to perform the web part insert.
While figuring out how to do this, I came across an option that, to create a new custom control to perform the show hide ribbon options.
1) Create a custom control (inheriting from System.Web.UI.Control)
2) Override the OnPreRender method
3) Retrieve the ribbon from the current viewing page.

One of the lingering withdrawal symptoms patients often suffer from in rehab is intense neck and back pain. These aches can range from mild to extreme pain and have a large impact on a patient's success in addiction rehab. At Changes Wellness & Recovery Center, we want our patients focused on getting better and turning their lives around – not on their lingering pain.
To combat this issue, our expert staff of experienced chiropractors help ease our patients' pains. This is a standard and vital part of our treatment and recovery programs and helps patients stay focused on recovering.
Chiropractic care has not only been linked to the reduction of chronic pain, but also to improved sleep, flexibility, posture and mood.

More info here.
From This is It/Now. Roxana Azar, David Brandon Geeting, 2015
Kate Palmer Albers on digital image circulation, experiential modes of viewing and This is It/Now project (curated by Max Marshall and myself) on Circulation Exchange:
I've been interested in the creative possibilities of disappearing photos for a few years now, particularly in relation to how we assign value. Disappearing photographs force the issue: there's no way to value them except as experiential. So last summer I was happy to hear about an exhibition that took place entirely on the app built around a default mode of image disappearance, Snapchat. Aptly titled This Is It/Now, the exhibition ran for 6 weeks, featured one artist per week, and was organized by the collaborative duo Max Marshall and Paul Paper. Per the restrictions of the app, the artists posted images (accumulations of still images or videos) that were viewable by followers of the This Is It/Now account for 24 hours.
Smoke Screen is now part of Kaleid editions 2016 collection.
Blog Re-Blog. Jure Kastelic and Thomas Humery, August 2014, Signal Gallery, NYC
I will be giving a talk about my own curatorial practice and few notes on the current state of curating the digital (photographic) image on 22nd April at symposium 'Image and Photography in the Post-Digital Era' of Riga Photography Biennial.
Huffington Post named 'Smoke Screen' one of 10 favorite books at 2016 LA Art Book Fair. Their take:
What happens when an image file becomes corrupted or obsolete? In most cases all one is left with is a file name, metadata. Paul Paper's new book emulates the conditions of the digital screen and mediated experience, by separating the image from its text, or "metadata," the keywords relating to the image. This smartly designed, monochromatic book frustrates easy consumption of the image while calling attention to the digital image's constituent parts.
Moments from joint book launch with Anu Vahtra at Contemporary Art Museum Estonia.
Many thanks to Lugemik and Tallinn Photomonth for making this happen!
Lugemik and Tallinn Photomonth present:
Book launch in 4 acts: "Smoke Screen" by Paul Paper (LT) and "Untitled" by Anu Vahtra (EE), accompanied by a conversation between the artists.
Saturday, 17 October, 19.30
Contemporary Art Museum of Estonia (EKKM)
Smoke Screen will be launched at New York Art Book Fair.
I'll be signing copies on Friday, 18th September, 4pm at Lodret Vandret booth (B03 in The Dome). Come up to say hi!
This Is It/Now – Snapchat photography exhibition starts today!
Contributed an essay to Technological Exaptation – a project by French artist Maxime Guyon exploring the relationship between photography, technology, and commodity.
Foam Photography Museum in collaboration with Galerie De Schans present the fourth edition of De Fotokopie. At the exhibition visitors have the opportunity to buy a photocopy of an original print.
Participating artists: Moyra Davey & Jason Simon, Batia Suter, Awoiska vd Molen, Jason Fulford, Broomberg & Chanarin, Paul Paper, Mariken Wessels, Daisuke Yokota, Onorato & Krebs, Joachim Brohm, Heidi Specker, Alexander Rosenkranz, Alec Soth, Nigel Shafran, Ron Jude, Thomas Mailaender, Lukas Wassmann.
You'll find "Contemporary Photography" at Lodret Vandret table at Offprint London
Contemporary Photography is in the collections of Clark Art Institute, Joan Flasch Collection (SAIC), and MoMA Library.
I am presenting the process of making a new book "Smoke Screen" and theoretical inspiration behind the project.
Come by:
18th December, 18.00
CAC Reading room
I talked with Deep Splash about recent curatorial projects and inspiration behind them:
Paul Paper speaks about his fascination with the internet communities from his teenage years when he lived in a block house in Vilnius. He explains the ideas behind "Sraunus" and his collaboration with Max Marshall "Blog Reblog". The film acts partly as an interview and partly as a remediation of both projects.
Taking part at this year's London Art Book Fair together with Kaleid Editions.
Opening times: Friday 26, 11am – 9pm
Saturday 27 and Sunday 28 September, 11am – 6pm.
Brave Enough (For the Haunted Mansion), 2008
I did a lengthy interview with Belarusian magazine Znyata. English version available here.

So, I tried a type of fast yesterday. I won't go into the specifics of what I did exactly. It was a work of my own creation, more of an experiment of you will.
Why I was at work I noticed a great change. Things that would normally be overwhelming just weren't. They where annoying. I maybe even got angry but it wasn't all consuming. I felt connected but not drowned by the world. I was even in the city which I hate. However it was like being there completely went over my head.
Has anyone else ever had this experience during a fast?
Cuz I gotta say it felt good! Like addiction worthy good.

Anthony d'Ackerley raps smartly on the door with his stick.
Andrew d'Ackerley's Mrs Ethel opens; Tibby must be busy. She recognises the newcomer and curtsies. "Your Lordship. His Lordship is in."
Anthony d'Ackerley inquires of Mrs Ethel, whom he's known since his boyhood days growing up in Chronowatsit Street, how she is, while he deposits his stick and gloves at the door.
Andrew d'Ackerley looks up from his book. "Goodness. Do come in, Anthony."
Anthony d'Ackerley says, "Good evening, Andrew", and sits down on the sofa opposite you. He waits as Mrs Ethel leaves.
Andrew d'Ackerley steeples his fingers and looks the younger man over. "How are you doing?"
Anthony d'Ackerley looks tired, as he tends to look these days, and more than a little stressed. "As well as can be expected, I'm afraid."
You gently say: Ah.
Anthony d'Ackerley folds his hands in his lap. "The second part is somewhat easier than the first." He glances at you. "The children and their governess left for Skund day before yesterday; the other servants went ahead two weeks ago. I myself depart tomorrow."
Andrew d'Ackerley nods lightly. "I shall come visit when you are settled in."
Anthony d'Ackerley leans back in the sofa and crosses one leg over the other. He looks mildly surprised, and looks at it. "I have never quite met a sofa that has wanted to swallow me before." He nods as well. "That would be pleasant. It will give me an opportunity to show you the changes I've made, and for you to look over the changes I propose to make."
You softly say: Quite so. I do have a proposal of my own as well, although it will be up to Mr Morecombe to make it happen.
Anthony d'Ackerley asks: Oh?
Andrew d'Ackerley explains with a trace of delicacy, "You are aware of our father's… indiscretions, I am sure. I have been considering our… Not quite legitimate siblings. Perhaps to offer them recognition after a fashion as well as a proper last name."
Anthony d'Ackerley smiles. "It would be quite proper. I fear that our father behaved abominably in that regard."
Anthony d'Ackerley doesn't say that he thinks the man behaved abominably in other regards as well.
You say: Quite. I was thinking of instating them by the name of Briarwyld. Children of the estate, rather than that one man.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: Quite. I think it would be admirable.
You ask Anthony d'Ackerley: Perhaps with a small sum for past grievances, enough to support a decent education..?
You softly say: Unless Mr Morecombe is keeping something from me, we can certainly afford it.
Anthony d'Ackerley says to you: Why not just make a settlement? Education, trade, marriage. It could be useful in any way they see fit.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: Oh, we can more than afford it.
You say: Quite so. I'll have Mr Morecombe work out the details. I simply wanted your approval as well. After all, this will somewhat formalize the fact that we have half a dozen bastard brothers and sisters.
Anthony d'Ackerley says to you: The forests to the west and southwest were thinned, and the estate has made a fat profit from timber over the past few years.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: I would rather acknowledge their presence than deny it, as our father did.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: It is more honourable, somehow.
You quietly say: He did not so much deny them as simply ignore them. We argued about it on occasion. He called me a reckless sap.
Anthony d'Ackerley thoughtfully says: Then I wonder what that makes him.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: Made him, rather. It's odd to think of the squire being gone.
You drily say: A healthy good old boy of breeding.
You say: Or a horny old goat, depending upon whom one asked.
Anthony d'Ackerley says to you: You missed the funeral. We had to go closed casket. He simply drank himself to death.
You quietly say: I do feel a small bit of empathy for him. Imagine being married to a woman who will cheerfully try to kill off your children to favour her favourite.
Anthony d'Ackerley quietly says: But mother wasn't always like that. She said he made her that way, and I can believe it.
You say: I think, brother, that they made each other.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: Can we agree that – yes.
Andrew d'Ackerley shakes his head. "It is… somewhat a relief, to have mother exposed. I feel that perhaps now we can move forward and perhaps set a somewhat better example for the future."
Anthony d'Ackerley drily says: I shall need a new identity now that I am no longer to be the upstart little brother.
You matter-of-factly say: I find you quite a bit more tolerable with your eyes open.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: And I find you a little more palatable now that you no longer actively detest my presence in the world.
You softly say: You think for yourself now.
Anthony d'Ackerley says to you: You never gave me a chance.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: So you were left with your illusions about me.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: And I did try, with you, for many years.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: That you must acknowledge.
You quietly say: I am going to… respectfully disagree. You were mother's puppet for many years. Perhaps it is best to put it behind us.
Anthony d'Ackerley asks: Puppet? I believe puppets actively participate in their masters' manipulations do they not?
Anthony d'Ackerley says: I never did.
You say: I believe the idea is that they perform the play unwittingly and unknowingly, directed by another.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: Quite, but in my case, my only crime was to exist.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: Mother did want me to do this or that, but I always refused.
You say: A crime of which we are both horribly guilty.
Anthony d'Ackerley says: I was interested in the estate only, and in my family, of course.
You quietly say: And I, in outliving mother, out of spite.
Anthony d'Ackerley chuckles as tea is brought in and set down. "I quite look forward to the quiet life in Skund. The library there is extensive now; I had it refurbished and added to. It is splendid."
You dejectedly say: I suppose that means that the duties of calling upon the Rusts falls to me now. You cruel man.
Anthony d'Ackerley helps himself to a cup of tea. "Why, I think you will do splendidly."
You say: I -detest- Ronnie Rust.
Anthony d'Ackerley smugly says: I know.
You say to Anthony d'Ackerley: When you are settled in, I believe that my wife would like to visit the estate. You must let me know when it is… convenient. I imagine you wish or a bit of quiet time.
Anthony d'Ackerley says to you: My dear Andrew, we will have nothing but quiet time. Please, you and my sister-in-law are welcome to visit whenever it is convenient for you.
You quietly say: Take some time to mourn in quiet, Anthony. I made the mistake of not doing so when Dameer died. It lead me to places that I should not have gone to.
You say to Anthony d'Ackerley: Time helps.
Anthony d'Ackerley quietly says: I shall – have to take your word for that.
Andrew d'Ackerley nods. "I know. I didn't believe it either."
Anthony d'Ackerley says: I don't believe it. Nor do I believe it is possible to move on, although you have shown it is possible.
You softly say: It took time. And I went through another wife and copious amounts of alcohol to do so. Allow yourself to grieve, Anthony.
Anthony d'Ackerley nods as he finishes his tea. He doesn't put his cup down. "I do not think I want to go down that route. But yes, you're right. I have not yet grieved for Alexis."
You quietly say: I finally found the time while we were sailing. Lots of hours on the deck just looking into the skies and… letting go.
Anthony d'Ackerley considers a career sailing around the Disc, raising his children on board a ship, and dismisses it regretfully. It would hardly be ideal. "I shall have quiet in Skund."
Andrew d'Ackerley nods lightly. "I wish I could offer better advice. Regrettably, I have never been good at coping with strong emotion."
Anthony d'Ackerley drily asks: Who is?

2016 American Coach American Revolution 42W Review
American Coach American Revolution 42W
Despite there being only four floorplans to choose from, deciding on one is tough because every floorplan has something unique to offer. Weve decided on the 42W because its designed for large groups and hectic lifestyles. It has a gross vehicle weight rating of 44,600 lbs, front gross axle weight rating of 14,600 lbs, tag gross axle weight rating of 10,000 lbs, rear gross axle weight rating of 20,000 lbs, and gross combined weight rating of 59,600 lbs. For measurements, the American Revolution 42W has an overall length of 4211.5, overall height (with A/C) of 1211, overall width of 102, interior height of 84, and interior width of 96. For liquids, the 42W has fresh water holding tank capacity of 100 gallons, grey water capacity of 60 gallons, and black water capacity of 40 gallons.
American Revolutions beauty starts with the details you cannot see its aluminum construction and Liberty chassis. Huck bolts, the most reliable aerospace-grade fasteners on the market, hold it all together. The easy-access chassis service center is conveniently located and easily accessible through one single service panel. American Revolutions signature E-coated chassis bridge has passed a 1,000-hour salt-spray test. Premium Sachs shocks increase driving safety and comfort, while fuel-side fuel fills decrease the need for pit stops. The power generation slide allows you to open the lower fiberglass front fascia at the push of a button. This provides easy access to front chassis components and Cummins Onan 10.0 kW quiet diesel generator. A large pass-thru storage compartment offers near basement-size storage without compromising chassis strength.

On the outside, the American Revolution looks like a work of art. Its buffed, ChromaSystem body paint will have passers-by begging you to let them in. Below the entry door is a brushed stainless kick plate and inside the utility compartment is a convenience light. The full-width rear rock guard comes with a stainless logo panel, and the power luggage door locks come with a remote key fob. Luggage compartments contain electrical outlets and power door locks. If you want to maximize your time outdoors, youll be excited about the exterior sidewall LED HDTV.
Whoever thinks you shouldnt judge a book by its cover hasnt been inside the American Revolution. As beautiful on the inside as it is on the outside, this luxury RV will make your family members proud and your friends jealous. When the sun rises, you can open the curtains on your windows, which have hardwood and fabric window treatments. When the sun sets, you can turn on the 12V LED ceiling and task lights. Coffered ceilings have crown molding, and the polished porcelain-tile floor is heated. All the premium hardwood cabinetry throughout the space is face-framed, and its interior is lined with Ozite. The 30 deep slide-out expand the already spacious interior.

American Coach designed the 42W to maximize comfort, especially for the driver. Features include a low profile dual-dash monitor design and power seats with six settings. The GPS navigation system and Sony rear-view and side-view cameras will keep you safe and on track during long road trips. Both the driver and passenger get a reading light, along with privacy blinds and shades. To help keep you awake and your passengers entertained, the dash is equipped with an Xite touch screen radio with GPS and Sirius satellite.
The living room is the heart of your coach, designed to take in the beautiful outdoor scenery. Featuring large windows and adjustable lighting, you can decide how you want to set the mood. If you need a break from driving, you can kick back on one of two Villa ultraleather sofas and watch your favourite movie on the 48 Sony LED television, which comes with a Sony Blu-ray home entertainment system with Wi-Fi. If you want to impress your family, steal a recipe from the cooking channel, and prepare dinner in the residential kitchen. Equipped with a dishwasher, microwave, 3-burner induction top, refrigerator and icemaker, theres no limit on what you can cook. When breakfast is ready, you can serve it at the dining table while watching the sunrise from the large window.

Your family members wont have to wait in line for the bathroom because there are two: one only has a toilet and sink inside, while the other also has a shower and wardrobe. The residential-style fixtures and decorative shower enclosure will make you feel like youre in a fancy spa, awaiting the best treatment of your life. The fiberglass shower comes with a molded seat and shelf, and a residential hand-held showerhead. The Tecma Silence Plus 2-button porcelain toilets have vacuum flush and operate quietly.
The American Revolution bedroom is your personal oasis. The cedar-lined wardrobes and beautiful privacy shades create a sense of luxury, while the dimmer-switched lighting allows you to set the mood. The exclusive Serenity Series king-size mattress, equipped with memory foam, will make you fall asleep the second you lie down. The bed also has an adjustable His and Her section, and can give you a head and foot massage. The bed has a hardwood-framed headboard with a padded fabric accent, and under-bed storage. If thats not enough, the 42W bedroom is also equipped with a Sony 32 LED HDTV and Sony DVD Player.

A new study reveals that air pollution emitted from countries near the equator has a bigger impact on the formation of global ozone.
The Arctic is rapidly changing. Scientists found that sea salt could be contributing to local air pollutants in the Arctic.
Scientists to determine the cause and potential implication of the recent change in the quasi-biennial oscillation.
The infamous "hole in the ozone layer" may be on its way to recovery. Climate scientists have detected "the first fingerprints of healing" in the depleted ozone region over Antarctica.
The Bakken Formation, emitting about 250,000 tons of ethane every year, was revealed to be the top cause of the rise in global ethane levels.
Earth's ozone is in good shape, according to scientists, thanks to the Montreal Protocol, which has helped us avoid severe ozone depletion.
We all remember the terrible earthquake and tsunami that left the Pacific coast of Tōhoku in ruins. Nearly 16,000 people tragically died that day, with an additional 2,500 people never found. Now new research has revealed that people and infrastructure weren't the only things to be harmed that day. Because such a stunning number of buildings were destroyed during the disaster, experts now believe that tons of harmful gases were released into the atmosphere, tearing a worrying hole in the ozone layer above Japan.
As if we didn't have enough to worry about with a depleting ozone and buildup of greenhouse gases, now a recent study shows that there is a new ozone-eating gas on the rise.
There's a big hole in our ozone right over the Antarctic right now, and it's slightly bigger than last year. However, according to NASA data, this hole is still significantly smaller than it was a decade ago and is likely going to keep shrinking.
The Sun, new research shows, impacts the polar ozone as well and potentially leads to changes in regional, not global, climate.
Finally, the world can rejoice over some good news about the environment. The Earth's protective ozone layer, which shields us from harmful ultraviolet rays, is showing signs of recovery, according to a new United Nations (UN) report released Wednesday.
Researchers claim they have discovered a surprising amount of harmful ozone in the supposedly "fresh" air of the Colorado mountains, showing just how far urban pollutants can travel.
A compound that was banned worldwide decades ago is still present in the Earth's atmosphere and depleting our ozone, according to new NASA research.
Scientists are taking to the skies to measure air pollution along Colorado's northern Front Range as a way to help identify the sources and levels of harmful ozone, researchers said Tuesday.
A team of US and German researchers has measured the highest level of ultraviolet radiation ever recorded on Earth's surface - in the Bolivian Andes - and their study indicates that depleting ozone may be what caused such harmful radiation levels.

There was a joke for a while that the worlds best-known and 250-year-old Encyclopedia Britannica did not have an entry for Wikipedia, the 17-year-old crowdsourced competitor.
The book publishing company was invested in selling actual hard copies of its books and then selling the updated versions as often as possible.
Parents might view the hefty investment as necessary for their kids as getting them into a good school. It certainly allowed them to defer to a book when a question arose that they too did not have an answer for.
It was not just Wikipedia that gave Britannica reason to worry, though, the problem started almost a decade earlier.
It was the World Wide Web's ideal to make all knowledge public, easily accessible and free that would get the company to reconsider their centuries-old business model.
Getting people to pay for online content is a tough ask even now. Back in the 90s it was near impossible. Encyclopedia Britannica built on their educational value and sought to create products that could be bundled as part of other products like the Windows operating system and produced packages for educational facilities to subscribe to in the same way their libraries would stock the printed version.
The last printed versions rolled off the presses in 2010. It is only an online product now although you will still find many volumes for sale at auction or even online. The printed version topped out with 40 000 entries. The online version has 120 000.
Wikipedia may have almost 6 million English entries but ranks its best and most comprehensive pieces to be a similar number to that of Britannica.
A recent development has seen a partnership with YouTube to address false content posted to the site by adding links to Britannica articles to provide a balance to claims made in the videos.
Wikipedia has been a stunning success. Other crowdsourced reference collections for subjects like programming (Stackoverflow) and DIY (Wikihow) have done well too. Typically though, the ideal for credible information has been challenged by the ease of creating biased content that is more likely to be clicked and become popular by appealing to what we want to believe rather than question what we know.
By using a paid model that amounts to about a R1000 a year to access correctly researched and regularly updated content by an editorial team of over 4000 a better option than a free but possibly suspect source of information.
You might not think Lego ever had much trouble shifting billions of little plastic bricks. For the world most valuable toy maker those bricks have indeed kept them on top of the world.
It did not start that way though, a struggling but quality-conscious carpenter saw a machine that made plastic extrusions, little blocks, while the company thought it was just a simple demo, to Lego it became a revolution.
In the 80s though Lego began to diversity as its patents that had kept competitors at bay were due to expire within the decade. In the 90s the advent of computer games reduced their reliance on the brick in favour of more digital options even more and they actually made the blocks bigger to make building the projects quicker. The research was suggesting that kids wanted instant gratification and had shorter attention spans.
In 2000, with sales slipping, the business was feeling the full force of a disruptive wave of challenges to its original plastic brick making model of 1947.
The low point came in 2004 with turnover dipping to the point that debt threatened to mark the end of the company altogether.
Then some things happened that possibly through desperation or keen insight saved them.
An adviser, Martin Lindstrom, challenged the big data view that the company had been using. An interview with a 12-year-old Lego-loving skater provided the news that the possession that most filled him with pride was a worn pair of tekkies. Not just any tekkies, these had the wear of a skater, something that would take many months to create. Rather than having little attention, a Lego lover might be someone willing to spend a lot longer to create something great than a bit of time on something average.
Lego discovered the insight to be real, they made the bricks smaller again, in fact, they added even smaller items with projects with detailed construction plans. These new models would take a lot of time and effort to build. It worked.
It was also helpful that they have partnered to create a movie using superhero Lego characters around the same time.
Cutting back on the non-core products like clothing and refocussing on the iconic block saw sales return and allowing a once small privately owned toy maker from Billund (population 6000) to become the world largest.
The story ends there, for now, but like computer games in 90s, the next decade may see it challenged again with 3D printing becoming the go-to construction kit of the future. Don't be surprised though that the little block that causes barefoot parents to shriek in the night may one day not be sold but made in your own Lego creation studio. A child's imagination will be free to then create anything.

Don't get me wrong, its not complete and utter crap by any means, but it does not live up to the expectation, and certainly not the price. By mid-day it's either above my eye or below, leaving me looking slightly worse for wear - and then removing it in the bath/shower is a mission all on it's own!
Nothing, I mean nothing removes this stuff (and i didn't get the waterproof one!) I have resorted to using really strong astringents (I refuse to tell as it going against everything I preach on my blog, but seriously can't be doing the Black Swan look...)
It's a pity, because i feel quite fancy with such gorgeous packaging, however I don't think i will be buying this again, or any YSL mascara for that matter. Back onto my old faithful Estee Lauder after this one is done.
