text: The World Cup widows enjoying themselves The nail-biting game was the last thing on their mind, as they banded together dressed in black in protest against their husbands who had ditched them for the love of the game. "Who needs men and football," says Florence Wanjiku. "We are having a lot more fun here, just us girls. No stress, no hassles, no head aches. We're calling ourselves black widows and are enjoying our month-long freedom from our men." It was a wild night, complete with male strippers and dancing girls to make the evening more memorable. No men were allowed anywhere near the festivities – except for the strippers of course.Kenya is not the only country with its share of World Cup widows. What game?Women in the Netherlands have set up an anti-football website while ladies in the UK are making trips to a hotel in the Lake District, where the f-word (football) has been banned. The hotel has been made a football-free zone. Sports supplements have been removed from newspapers, and television sports coverage has been replaced with re-runs of romantic films, such as Pretty Woman.Africa's World Cup widows are making sure they enjoy their time away from their hubbies. Local television stations are standing true to their word and offering women all you can watch football-free movies.Nation Television (NTV) in Kenya has launched what it calls NTV Women's World Cup, with the catch phrase, "leave your football at the door." …..and when Nairobi's football widows are not glued to the screen on Friday, they were on the dance floor strutting their stuff. "It's like a drought has hit Nairobi. Where have all the men gone to? They are no longer in the clubs or restaurants," said Cecilia Nakusoba. "If you want to find your man, go to the local bar and when you do good luck getting his attention. So we have been forced to do our own thing, and we are having fun doing it." The widows' party was just down the road from a local pub where the guys were watching the France v Brazil game. Those who knew about the all ladies affair were not bothered by it. In fact, they were glad it kept their women busy. "Parties like that mean I can sneak off with the lads and watch a good game without feeling guilty about it," said Mike Okinywa downing a pint. "Besides, it's an all chicks party – we have nothing to worry about." The only thing on his mind that night was Brazil winning. Little did he know he would lose the bet he'd made with his buddies an hour later. And while Mike and other Brazil supporters mourned the early departure of Brazil from the World Cup, Nairobi's black widows were having the time of their lives – no stress, no hassles, no headaches and most importantly no men. With one more week to go before the World Cup finale Nairobi's black widows have a host of activities lined up to keep them entertained until football fever is over and their husbands remember notice they exist again.

I'm playing with my new Treo 650 – and discovered that it takes video. So of course, what do I do when I discover that? Immediately play with it… here's the result of my experiment.
Ok – very silly test video, I know. Nonetheless:
- I can capture video on the go
- It's poor quality video, so probably not useful for "professional" consumption
- Great if I want to share an idea, capture a quick interview, or capture an event
- Hmm… show management a particularly successful library event?
Reading all these, I can see a way to sum it up – cheap video is capable of capturing the moment – it will capture the relevant info, so you can use it later as supplementary material (for whatever you're doing).
Update: Gee, Dave… it helps to actually include the link to the video…

The first Summer University is behind
And so it is….the first Summer University Project of AEGEE-Yerevan is already behind with many different emotions, nice memories and future plans.
The idea of establishment of AEGEE-Yerevan came from the Summer University Project in 2010, and at that time already there was a plan to organize one in Yerevan.
The real preparation stage started from January 2011 with periodic project team meetings and ideas.
The aim of the Summer University was to bring young people from Armenia and Europe closer, do discuss cultural differences and explore each others' culture.
The participants came out to be from many different European countries such as the Netherlands, Greece, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Slovaki, Austria, Italy and Finland.
Yerevan was very active with many festivals going on at the period of our Summer University. We were having Golden Apricot International Film Festival in frames of which many concerts and cultural events were organized and the participants had the opportunity to attend some of them.
The first day after the arrival started with AEGEE presentation, city tour and character party.
During the next days the participants had tours to some of the beautiful places of Armenia-Lake Sevan, they saw the only preserved pagan temple Garni and Geghard Monastery. The tours followed also by Etchmiajin-the religious center of Armenia as well as Zvartnots.
One of the important events in frames of the project was the Armenian National evening with typical Armenian food, music and dances.
The next one was the European Cultural Evening which was an open event at the Youth Foundation of Armenia hall. Each participant made a presentation of their country, presented national food and drinks.
Our participants learnt to dance Armenian national dances, eat traditional Armenian Salad :D, and try to remember and pronounce some Armenian words…But this is not the case for Attila Minisán, a great duduk player from Hungary…Few more days in Armenia and he would already speak Armenian 🙂
Our friend, Sebastiano Perale from AEGEE-Venezia says, "AEGEE-Yerevan has organized a very good Summer University. But considering the fact that AEGEE-Yerevan was born yesterday, I think they have organized an excellent Summer University!! The programme was
full but not tiring, the places were interesting and diverse, the lodging was perfect and the organizers were very helpful and always at our disposal. They never let anybody get lost in town, anytime a group split in two parts, in both parts there was at least one organizer.
The fun part was a little missing, but it was so hot that we chilled out enjoying Armenian food and beer. At the moment, I am really missing Armenia and all organizers and participants there!!"
The most and extreme part of the SU was the 2 days trip to Tatev-one of the most amazing places in Armenia where is located the worlds' longest ropeway.
On the way to Tatev we visited the Areni Wine Factory and Noravank Monastery. It was already late evening when we arrived to Tatev and quickly set the tents where we were going to spend all the night.
The multicultural night was very interesting with fire and guitar, nice songs and games. But after the heavy rain everyone ran to the tents and got wet in the morning 😀 hopefully nobody caught cold after this crazy experience!
During the Summer university we did the most different and the first Eastern Partnership team meeting in the bus from Yerevan to Tatev in the 40C temperature, which was very productive.
The last day as always was not the best one because of saying bye but with the big hope to see each other soon somewhere in Europe.
And sure the our doors are always open for the visits of all AEGEE people!
Looking forward to our next Summer University with even more crazy programme.
So again we would like to thank our supporters, the Youth Foundation of Armenia, Competitiveness Foundation of Armenia, Astarak Kat Company, Hayastan All-Armenia Fund, Tour Info Magazine and Sima Tours Travel Agency.

Wow. This season has not gong as I predicted. Not at all.
I expected the Bulls to be a very good team in terms of their record. They are not and will be lucky to end the season at .500.
I expected them to play with levels of passion, effort and intensity that would rival or beat any other team in the league. Every night. I'm not sure I've seen them play at that level in a single game, not to mention each game.
I expected young players whose numbers went up every year of their professional careers – Kirk Hinrich, Luol Deng, Ben Gordon, Andres Nocioni – to continue to improve. Hinrich and Gordon have been inexplicably bad and Deng and Nocioni have seen slight drop offs in their level of play.
I expected the sophomores on the team – Tyrus Thomas and Thabo Sefolosha – to show some improvement over last season after reading about each having strong summers while competing in different environments. Thabo has disappeared and Tyrus is, at best, looking exactly the same as last season.
I expected Ben Wallace's abilities to continue to slowly decline, but to still be worthy of starting every night and continue to help the team, significantly. Instead Wallace has been possibly one of the worst players on the team while getting far more minutes than anyone with his production in the league. The heartbreaker about Wallace is that nobody would have expected the scrappy, effort-player from Detroit to turn apathetic and lazy once another team paid him big money. Sure, he's getting older. Nevertheless, his play has reeked of indifference and lethargy.
I expected one of the better outside shooting teams in the league to continue to be able to shoot. Somehow they forgot.
I expected a team that was either first or second in the league in defensive field goal percentage over the past three seasons to continue to play great defense. It just hasn't happened.
So, in the words of John Paxson, obviously I'm very disappointed.
Was Scott Skiles responsible for all of these problems? No. He was responsible for some of them. So what can the Bulls do to get better? You can't fire the players. – – Though I demand they threaten to pull a Tim Thomas/J.R. Smith on Ben Wallace unless he starts playing better immediately. They need to tell him, regardless of $16 million a year and 4 PREVIOUS Defensive Player of the Year Awards, they will send him home if he doesn't work his ass off. – – You can't trade any of them for fair value right now since not a one is playing up to his abilities. You'd get nothing valuable in return. Paxson wants to keep his job so he pulls a classic GM panic move and fires the coach. It was a panic move pulled by many before him. Let's call it the Kevin McHale. I'm sure there are more historic examples, but McHale has clearly become an expert.
One more thing I didn't expect was Skiles getting fired before the all-star break. I believed, right up until the announcement was made, that Skiles had earned more trust from Paxson and Reinsdorf than would warrant a coach being fired this early in the season. I'm not saying that he didn't deserve to be fired or that it was unfair, just that it surprised me.
In my opinion, the question is how does this move make the team better? Yes they were playing terribly and something had to change. But who is going to come in and coach them to better play right now? I hopefully will get one more thing I don't expect, but I don't expect Jim Boylan to make them better immediately or at any point this season. The team is really stressing that Boylan is his own man and not Skiles Jr. That may be true, but he's also not much of a change no matter how you look at it. Paxson has said repeatedly he wasn't going to go outside for a coach this season. I say what's the point of firing the coach if you're not? You're going to get the same play you're already getting and it's a sign you've given up on the season. The only thing Pax could have been thinking with this move is that it would spark the players and he'd get that high level of effort back. Obviously based on the blow out in San Antonio, that hasn't happened.
Today the team announced the big change that is going to turn things around. Chris Duhon is going to start while Ben Gordon is going back the 6th man role. Everything will be different now! I can't begin to tell you how disappointed I was to see that Ben Wallace wasn't the one to move to the bench. Duhon for Gordon? Been there, done that. It's not that it's a bad move; in fact I would have done that too. It just shouldn't have been the only move. Nocioni, Gray or Noah in the starting lineup for Wallace would have helped. Look, the team is already dysfunctional and not playing well together. Moving Wallace to the bench would piss him off and cause further disturbance. However, he's also a very proud man and would either give his all from that point forward or give up and go home. Either way the Bulls get better immediately.
The bottom line is that I think changing coaches in the middle of the season probably wasn't a good idea, especially if they weren't going to bring in an outsider to do the job. Changing coaches after only 25 games definitely was a bad idea because, in my opinion, it equates to giving up on the season. I would have let Skiles coach out the season not because he deserved it or because of some deep faith in his abilities, but because the current situation is no better and is in fact probably worse.
If Paxson felt completely secure in his job I don't think he would have fired Skiles this early. ESPN's Mark Stein writes that we should now focus the bull's eye on John Paxson. I know I will. And it won't be because he's drafted or signed the wrong guys. When he signed Wallace everyone around the NBA knew he overpaid but almost all still thought it was a good idea. I wanted to draft Brandon Roy with the number two pick, I really did. However, I wasn't too disappointed with getting Tyrus Thomas and I didn't read, hear or see that many others disappointed with it. Paxson really did try to get Garnett and passing on Kobe was probably a good thing given the circumstances. I think he offered Gordon and Deng fair money at the time given their performances and the time left on their contracts. His moves haven't always worked out, but most of them looked smart at the time, knowing then what we did.
Paxson has two major flaws on his record that I will continue to hold against him and that, in my opinion, he has to make up for soon in order to warrant keeping his job. First, though he always says he's not going to loose a player for nothing, he lost Tyson Chandler for nothing. He traded Chandler for J.R. Smith and P.J. Brown. The Bulls promptly cut/bought out Smith. Smith wouldn't have fit well on the team, but that's losing half of a player for nothing. They were left with a valuable trading chip however in Brown's large, expiring contract. Brown was a veteran leader, sure, but he wasn't worth not trading. When Paxson failed to package Brown's contract and some other player or players for more help for the team he failed miserably. Brown essentially retired at the end of the season and the Bulls have nothing to show for Tyson. Many people say Chandler never would have flourished under Skiles as he is now, but I guarantee he'd be bringing more to the table than any other big man currently on the roster.
Paxson's second blemish was his selfish firing of Skiles. As stated above, I believe this move was made solely for Paxson, not for winning or for the good of the team. If Pax can somehow pull the Bulls out of their current state, all will be forgiven. If not, these two moves SHOULD have him following Skiles out the door. Right now, sadly, this looks like the most interesting Bulls story to follow.

School buses in Alabama may soon install outside electronic cameras to keep an eye on for traffic violators.
A brand-new state law that worked July 1st provides school districts the choice of installing electronic cameras. The objective is to find drivers who blow past stop sign arms on school buses.
I've had them run it practically every day, stated Mayor Charles Webster. He is the Mayor of Clay and a special requirements school bus driver for Jefferson County. In some cases individuals just do not pay attention.
Webster is an advocate of Jefferson County school district installing electronic cameras.
On certain events I've blown a horn at a kid because I've seen an automobile coming past me in the rear-view mirror, stated Webster. I've had one kid come close to getting hit because of that.
Webster has actually been driving a school bus for 3 years. He said one location in specific, Chalkville School Road, sees a great deal of traffic lawbreakers. There have been a lot of, in truth that they had to employ the Jefferson County Sheriff.
They in fact had three automobiles sit there for about two weeks, he said. And they most likely composed 2 or three tickets every day for people running a stop sign on a bus. It's a problem all around the county and the state probably.
Its long time been a state law that motorists need to pick up a school bus. But this new law empowers school districts to look for violators as well. The revenue produced from those tickets will be split among the school system, the county or municipality, the state s Department of Education and the Alabama Law Enforcement Agency.
The goal would be to stop individuals from running the stop indication on the buses because eventually a kid is getting struck, said Webster. If it saved one life it would deserve it.
The Jefferson County and Hoover City School districts are considering installing the outside cams according to spokesmen.
The Shelby County school district already set up outside video cameras on a few of their buses in 2013. According to transportation organizer Rick Vines, just some of their buses have the electronic cameras, but all new buses are bought with exterior stop arm video cameras. He said they have actually likewise retrofitted a few of their older buses with the cameras.
A spokesperson with Birmingham City School District stated it is still prematurely for them to discuss whether they will be thinking about the cameras.

Jana Hunter Speaks Out, Rex Brown Sells Out and Stevie Ray Vaughan Gets Bronzed.
When St. Vincent and the teens of Dancewave did their thing on The Tonight Show last week, they probably had no idea the kind firestorm they'd set off locally.
To recap: Following the broadcast, Dallas Observer music editor Jeff Gage drew the ire of Gawker for his allegedly sexist analysis of said performance. Later, Texas Monthly got ahold of the story, offering up its own, markedly more thoughtful ruminations on the fallacies of the historically male-dominated music and music criticism industries.
It's a much-needed discussion that's been taking place in smaller circles for several years now, and one that's rightly becoming an issue more on the forefront. And while it's a North Texas transplant that's spawned the current round of discourse, another North Texas ex-pat finds herself at the opposite end of the spectrum: Lower Dens mastermind Jana Hunter turned in a piece for Cosmopolitan late last week, which we consider to be the most thoughtful and poignant perspective on the issue we've read to date.
An excerpt from Hunter's column: "And that is the thing that gets me, at least lately. That you have to talk yourself into believing that misogyny exists, even when the evidence is stacked up, even when you're banging your head into the wall over and over and over. Our insistence on valuing some humans above others is such an inscrutable quandary. Every day, all humans are judged and all humans are judging, but why do some get the benefit of the doubt? Why do we choose to rate people against each other based on such an arbitrary designation as gender when it's obvious this brings us nothing but grief? I don't want to believe the world is that way, and I don't want to believe I am subject to something so arbitrary, so false. It isn't that I feel sorry for myself; it's that I don't want to be disappointed in the world around me."
The piece is an absolute must-read for anyone that listens to, discusses, writes about or otherwise considers themselves a part of the music community. We couldn't recommend it more highly.
Another, perhaps slightly more unexpected, local musician advocating for women's rights issues of late is ex-Pantera drummer Vinny Paul Abbott, whose Hellyeah outfit's new video for 2014 single, "Hush," is one that urges the victims of domestic violence to speak out. Released in conjunction with violence-prevention initiative A Call to Men, the issue is one with which the band's frontman told Billboard he's had personal experience.
Meanwhile, Abbott's onetime bandmate, Pantera bassist Rex Brown, is currently auctioning off a bunch of his stuff. Items up for grabs include a smattering of his basses and other stage-used gear, plus clothes he's worn on album covers or on stage and other rare band merch/memorabilia.
Closer to home, one of Carter Albrecht's old guitars is currently being auctioned as well. Donated by Albrecht's family, the circa-2000 Telecaster was used while Albrecht working on his solo record Jesus is Alive…and Living in London. Proceeds raised from the sale will benefit the second-annual Open Carry Guitar Rally, which will return to the Continental Avenue Bridge Park on Sunday, May 3. Unlike last year's inaugural gathering, organizers say they plan on doing it big this year, with live bands, permits, security guards, bathrooms and the like.
Not far from that bridge, the Belmont Hotel folks recently announced the lineup to this year's Barefoot at the Belmont series. Highlights from the intimate summer series — which kicks off on May 7 with Knox Hamilton and Daniel Markham — include Israel Nash, Bobby Patterson, Leon Bridges and Rhett Miller. Tickets for the first performance go on sale next Wednesday, April 22. And, if we've learned anything from previous years, it's that passes to this thing go exceptionally quickly. So get on that.
Sticking out in the Cliff, the Dallas Morning News reports that steps are being taken to put a Stevie Ray Vaughan memorial statue in Oak Cliff's Kiest Park. While Austin's had its own SRV statue for some 20 years now, the city in which he was born, raised and buried in still does not. In order to make it happen, Kirby Warnock, the former Buddy Magazine editor that's been pushing the project, will need to raise "$68,000 — $28,000 of which will go toward the project. The remaining $40,000 will be set aside for 20 years' worth of maintenance," according to the Morning News.
Moving on: Observer freelancer Jaime-Paul Falcon attempted a bit of humor this week with a (takedown?) piece on mainstream festival booking practices for Deadspin, all centered around his experiences working for 35 Denton. The thing that really stands out to us? That the festival was working with a $300,000 budget.
Meanwhile, Blank-Men bassist Sam Swanson passed along word that the Devo-mining local synth-punk outfit is readying a new live EP, recorded during a recent Rubber Gloves show.
"[We] are currently in the process of mixing and choosing which songs will be the final five to six tracks to make the cut," Swanson says. "I can say right now that the final choices will be a mixture of new songs and live renditions of selections from our last EP, FACT or FICTION?.
Check out "Radio Silence" from that last release below.
Also prepping a new record is Dallas folk duo The O's, which will host a pre-order and album-awareness party for its new Honeycomb LP at Lakewood Landing on Sunday, April 19.
Elsewhere, the John Dufilho-led Cantina recently released a new Chuck & George-directed video for its "Bulletproof" song, which you can check out below.
Our finished music video for "bulletproof" by the band CANTINAPosted by Chuck & George on Thursday, August 7, 2014
Finally, here are some quick hits to end this week's music news and notes: Vexed UK will play its final show this Saturday at Rubber Gloves; The Local Ticket is now available as a convenient Spotify playlist; and high-end local hi-fi dealer Audio Concepts announced a rare sale that'll go down this Record Store Day weekend.

NaNo 2012 Update 2
I have been…not as good this week.
In fact, I'd feel downright ashamed of myself if it weren't for the gradual realization that maybe NaNo- as in the daily practice of NaNo- isn't such a great thing for me. It's not the overall word count I'm struggling with- it's the effort of writing every single day whether I feel like it or not. That's not really how my brain works, especially not when there's a question of work. But, here's the breakdown on this week's walk of shame.
(and that's completely personal shame- in no way am I pronouncing shame on you 'if you didn't do better'. I set an expectation for myself and failed to live up to it)
7 November Full day of work but came home and did some writing in the evening. This is kind of a strange book for me, the first one I've known so deeply, so entirely, that I'm forgetting to give things a foundation. There are two characters who are supposed to be particularly antagonistic to each other, and later on I remember to say that they're appalled by the thought of agreeing buuuut…forgot to lay all the groundwork earlier for why. I foresee a great deal of editing in my future.
Word count for the day: 3879
8 November Day off! Some chores and errands to do, including a run across town (why do some companies make it so frickin hard to pay a bill?!) but overall, pretty happy with the day's haul. Got out of the house for most of it, which seems to be the way I get more work done. Some fun chapters- fighting, pissing off a parental unit, and introducing a character I absolutely love and shamelessly dragging into the rewrite far earlier than he appeared in the original. Because you know? Some characters you just need more of.
Work count for the day: 7610
9 November Full day of work. Well, mostly full. I left a couple of hours early because there's a galloping crud going around the staff. Tis the season, and in all honesty, I'd rather get it now and be done with it then get it any time between Black Friday and the end of January. Can we tell I work retail. Got some writing done but was just really feeling cruddy, so I mostly just curled up in the chair with the cat and some cocoa, a bunch of comfort foods, and watched the ultimate pretty that is Planet Earth
Word count for the day: 1763
10 November Worked a half day, still miserably sick. Hurt to swallow, which made staying hydrated rather difficult, brain not particularly wanting to work. More Planet Earth, more cuddling with the cat, but once the soup started taking effect, the brain started working a little more easily.
Word count for the day: 5066
11 November Day off, but still sick, so most of the day passed in the armchair with the rest of Planet Earth. Got a little bit done, came up against a dilemma with how to handle a specific scene, and I've learned I do not write well out of order. The writing I was planning to do later in the evening got derailed by the loan of all the Bond films, on the understanding that I have to watch all of them, in order, because I'm allowed to go see Skyfall. And may I just say, OH MY GOD these movies are hurting my brain. There's so much in me that protests, and I'm not even through the Sean Connery set. Between the constant cringing and the massacre of unsuspecting brain cells, it's incredibly difficult to write through these movies. But, you know, some writing got done in the afternoon.
Word count for the day: 3292
12 November Full day at work, feeling a little better but still cruddy. Tried to write, managed maybe five hundred words- so few I didn't even bother to write down the number so I wouldn't know just how ashamed I needed to be. So, feeling rather too self-indulgent, I curled up with a book. Doing projects back to back, I haven't just sat down and read in a month and a half, so giving a whole evening over to just reading was GLORIOUS. Of course, it helped that the book was frickin AMAZING OH MY GOD PUNCH YOU RIGHT IN THE FEELS GORGEOUS (Laini Taylor's Days of Blood and Starlight, if anyone's curious, review will be coming up next month when I've had some time to process, stop drooling, and maybe if I'm lucky speak about it coherently). Should feel guilty but oh, it was just that good.
Word count for the day: mreh
13 November This was the day I'd actually planned not to write. Having the one day break last week seemed to do wonders for me, and I'd thought about rescinding it, given Monday's performance, and then looked at what I needed to do in the apartment before company came over, including dishes, cleaning the bathroom, putting things away, and just generally tidying up. And, feeling a bit more cruddy than the day before, I decided to go with it. And by 'it', I mean rewarding myself after each block of housework with an episode of Castle.
Word count for the day: zero.
So, overall, not a fantastic week. Total word count for NaNo: 44, 599, not counting the couple hundred from Monday's travesty. Near the goal, yes, but just…not the performance I wanted to put in. Would love to say this coming week will be better, but I'm still sick. Tonight's not looking promising- came home from work, took out the trash, and now my brother is here for Pizza and Bad Movie Night. (More Bond, if anyone's curious- Thunderball)
Those of you doing NaNo, how are you doing? Check in below!
Until next time~

UTW-Who are you?
UTW-What is your passion?
UTW-What's your biggest accomplishment to date?
UTW-Perseverance is key in proving to yourself AND any detractors out there. We tell em' "You thought wrong" what else would you like to say to any doubters right now?
UTW-Thanks for everything, where can people find your work and get in contact with you?
Justin "Prince" Picones-Justin "Prince" Picones. A young up and coming barber who caters to an upper echelon clientele. Providing services to celebrities such as Drake, Cory Gunz, T-minus, Bucky from Down With Webster, Tinie Tempah, Brandon Bass, JRDN, Corey Shapiro, and local rising musicians A-GAME, Luu Breeze, Lokz, just to name a few. Born, raised and based out of Toronto, Ontario, I am aiming to be not only one of the top barbers in Toronto, but to be the go-to barber for out of town celebrities, athletes, etc. Barbering isn't only about hair, it's also about building relationships. Being the barber that I am, clients come to me imitating a small "getaway" from from their every day life. Studying each and every person that sits in my chair I was able to understand different behaviours. Aside from a great haircut, what men also appreciate is a friend who listens, comprehends, and responds. Barbers are, in most cases, the most trusted people when it comes to confiding, gossip, discussions, and goals. A barbershop is a place of discussion, and GOALS was usually the main topic; this I could relate to. Which brings me to my greatest accomplishments today. Being able to run a business on my own, and being a single father of two are the top two accomplishments; all at the same time. This here is a prime example that anything is at arms reach. With all the distractions, disbelievers, and haters, it is possible for anyone to achieve their goals as long as they put their minds to it, and act. Make sure you follow me on Twitter (www.twitter.com/princecutskings) and check out my website www.princecutskings.com. All the information needed in regards to location and how to contact me is all there. Thank you for your time and hope to see you in my chair soon. Cheers

text: In the interest of documenting what the Motronic does under various conditions, I've added a plot of fuel injection time and spark advance logged during the WOT runs I made to produce the torque curve posted above. (Below the advance/injection plot I've added a summary of the GS-911 data log for anyone interested in what's being collected. A typical test run has several thousand lines of data that gets imported to an excel spreadsheet. The first two columns of time and RPM are used to calculate acceleration, and from that torque and HP.) The conditions for the WOT runs were: shift the bike into fourth gear; running along at 1500 RPM; and then open the throttle fully until about 7000 RPM. Looking at the plots below a couple things stand out. On the injection time plot you can see the Motronic fire off 7 mS shots of fuel right away to get the acceleration going—very rich, and keep in mind that each injector fires twice per combustion cycle. Then from 2200 to 4000 RPM, still WOT, the pulses drop to about 5.8 mS—still rich but a little less. From 4000 RPM to 5500 the injection time lengthens to 7.5 mS which is nearly on continuously at 7000 RPM. Between 5500 and 7000 RPM the engine is putting out 70 - 94 HP so the Motronic is keeping the mixture very rich. AFR on my bike is in the low to mid 12s for these WOT runs; by comparison the stock setting is in the 13s. Looking at the Spark Advance plot, under the Wide Open Throttle conditions of this series of measurements, the Motronic is conservative with Spark Advance, holding it at 20 degrees or less until 5500 RPM. By comparison, under partial throttle cruising conditions the Spark Advance gets as high as 43 degrees.

Dansk Designs (also known as Dansk International Designs starting in 1974) was an American distributor and retailer of cookware, tableware, and other home accessories based in Mount Kisco, New York. As of 2011, the brand is called Dansk and is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lenox Corporation with headquarters located in Bristol, Pennsylvania.
On a trip to Europe in 1954, Americans Martha and Ted Nierenberg went in search of a product to manufacture and produce for a U.S. audience. During a visit to the Museum of Arts and Crafts--Kunsthandwaerkmuseet (today the Danish Museum of Art & Design -- Kunstindustrimuseet) in Copenhagen, they saw a unique set of cutlery on display that combined teak and stainless steel, created by artist-designer Jens Quistgaard. The Nierenbergs tracked down Quistgaard and spoke with him in an effort to convince him to manufacture the cutlery. At first, Quistgaard insisted that the pieces could only be forged by hand, one piece at a time, but Nierenberg was able to convince him they could be mass-produced, leading to Dansk Designs' first product, Fjord flatware, which has been one of the brand's enduring bestsellers.
The Nierenbergs established Dansk that year in the garage of their Great Neck, New York home, with Quistgaard as its founding designer. By the end of 1954, Ted Nierenberg attracted orders for several hundred units from stores all around the United States, and the business took off from there.By 1958, Nierenberg and Quistgaard had expanded Dansk's wares to include teak magazine racks and stools, stoneware casseroles, salt and pepper grinders, and flatware with split cane handles. The New York Times credited Dansk with "creating a stir" with "some of the most popular accessories found in American homes."By 1982, Quistgaard had created more than 2,000 different designs for Dansk of dinnerware, glassware and items for the home.
Dansk relocated its headquarters to Mount Kisco, New York in the 1960s.
Dansk was purchased in June 1985 by Dansk Acquisition Corp. in a deal initiated by Goldman Sachs.
Dansk was acquired in 1991 by the Brown-Forman Corporation and incorporated together under its Lenox subsidiary.[6] On March 16, 2009, a group of investors led by Clarion Capital Partners LLC purchased the assets of Lenox - including Dansk - and renamed the company Lenox Corporation.

Probe launched into D.C. subway crash
The worst accident in 33-year history of Metrorail, Washington's subway system, is under investigation by authorities trying to determine why a train plowed into the rear of another, killing at least nine people and injuring scores of others.
Witness: Train crash sounded like an explosion
Witnesses describe the chaos that ensued after immediately after one Metro train in Washington, DC slammed into another. With at least 6 killed, local officials are calling it the deadliest accident in the system's history.

Staying home from school to learn
Home schooling is a growing force in the United States, where families opt out of the public education system in favour of parent-supervised study.
The country's growing evangelical Christian communities are largely behind the growth, seeking to teach their children Biblical creationism instead of the scientific theory of evolution.
But home schooling by politically progressive families is also on the rise.
Burkina aims for world heritage recognition
Burkina Faso dreams of having the stone ruins of Loropeni added to UNESCO's World Heritage list -- a distinction that would recognise the cultural value of the site and provide funding to help preserve it.
Whale watching in Norway
To protect the whales that travel through the Arctic Circle, animal rights groups believe that they need to be better known.
They've organized low-key, environmentally sensitive travel to allow tourists to discover the endangered animals in their natural habitat, off islands in the north of Norway.

The Flare International Festival of New Theatre returns to Manchester from 4 to 8 July 2017 with performances at Home, The Lowry, The Royal Exchange, Contact, The Martin Harris Centre and 70 Oxford St (the old Cornerhouse building).
The last, FLARE15, was one of my highlights of 2015. Performance reviews are here and here.
I talk to Artistic Director Neil Mackenzie about what makes this festival unique.
What are you particularly looking for in FLARE17?
There's a very clear sense of something quite unusual and really quite 'out there' that resonates in lots of beautiful ways and gets you thinking. That just asks questions and opens up new thoughts about what a theatre experience is in a really positive way. There's an experience of being in front of something that you may not understand and which you haven't seen the like of before, which is really exciting.
So in terms of FLARE17, the Manchester theatre scene has moved on significantly since 2015, what are you doing this time to make it distinctive?
We are fundamentally about emerging artists. As artists emerge they move on from us. So, some of our previous artists have now been picked up by other festivals and won't be appearing at FLARE any more. That's kind of the way it's intended to be, so we have to keep finding the new work. Because we look at work that is very fresh, that is very new to us, we can simply say this piece, regardless of how the piece sits within the broader context of the artist's work or whether they will continue to make work of this quality, this piece is a really strong piece. It is the work itself more than the reputation of the artists, because they fundamentally don't have reputations.
What makes a great performance?
That sense of what it means to be in a theatre, I guess. Quite often a really strong piece of work will feel like a really simple thing, but within it is the world, all human experience, and you find it strange, you find it funny, a bit sad, you find it beautiful, find it desperately poignant and you find it ultimately resolving in some way. There is a level at which you can sense that an artist knows what it means for an audience to be in front of what they have decided to put there. And have carefully worked that experience, in whatever way. They know the questions it's asking, how to play out the duration, how long to make it, and the balance between stimulation against thinking time.
A lot of the best theatre plays with the idea of the tiny and the huge.
If there's a characteristic of FLARE work, maybe that's one of them. A lot of it is clarity, a lot of it is simplicity, but within that a huge amount of complexity.
In terms of really good emerging artists what are the key themes they're working with?
I am conscious of the amount of work that bears a relationship to dance. And it's partly because there's quite a big scene in Holland and Belgium. There are important courses (mime schools, art schools with performance courses, dance courses) producing really fascinating work, and it's easy for us to access that. A lot of this comes in without very much text and some relationship to body based or dance choreographic ideas. I don't know if it's a 2017 phenomenon but it's worked well for us as emerging artists.
Why did you start FLARE?
We proposed the Manchester International Student Theatre Festival (MIST) to run alongside MIF07, because that suddenly seemed like an exciting offer for the city. I think what was really rewarding about MIST was that we opened it up internationally, and some of the work that came was just extraordinary. To look at it as student work with an English conception of what student work would be was just mind blowing because it was on such a scale and level of sophistication; we all got excited by that. Then 2011 was the first Flare International Festival of New Theatre, which we reconceived to focus on emerging artists; one particular strand is FUTURE FLARES which continues the student thread but which we've also opened up to work in progress from established artists. FLARE runs every two years.
There is a strong international element to FLARE.
We keep wondering about the international nature of what we do and in 2017 more than ever I'm wondering about the implications of us being international and working with artists from a wide geographical spread, and the political implications of that. For example, I think it felt very out of the blue and quite shocking the situation we had last time with the Georgians being refused visas to perform. So we are going to have to take on some of these, we'll have to play the political game.
How well does international work transfer?
Fundamentally FLARE17 is all about finding innovative theatre experiences for people who are going to come and see the work, who are probably from the Manchester region. So the work has to feel innovative theatre for here; but some work doesn't have those qualities. That's a difficult position we have to take sometimes, and a position I'm interrogating more and more now. For example there is a temptation to take work from places like Syria, but it must be interesting enough, and maintain its relevance here. Countries like Iran have a rich, well supported, well organised state structure that supports culture that some other countries wouldn't have. And of course social politics are different in every country and the further we go from here the stranger they can seem to us. A lot of gender politics, where people see themselves as radical artists, is desperately conservative to us. We have to look at it through our perspective not theirs because this is the perspective from which our audience are looking at it.
And from a personal perspective?
In a sense I think I've always just been incredibly excited by finding new work and getting people excited about it. I love sharing my enthusiasm for it.Follow @quietmandave

And so, probably tomorrow I shouldn't be allowed to touch my sewing machine. According to one list, I was a dismal failure today. But according to my own personal assessment of happiness, today was a total success! Because, I made THIS pillow, and dinner, and a to-die-for chocolate cake. Apparently, I was in the mood to make things today. Things that were somewhat unnecessary, but at the same time completely essential. Know what I mean?!
I saw this quilt on Flickr probably over the summer, and I've been thinking of it ever since. I'm not a "real" quilter. Everything I do with quilting I've figured out on my own. But, I have big dreams, and big ideas that someday I too could make art out of quilts. In the mean time, you have to start somewhere. I've been wanting to try to figure out how to make these little houses for a while. A quick google search led me to two very valuable basic tutorials (see side bar here), and from there, the rest is pillow history!
What's on the back you ask?? Thank you for asking, probably my favorite Alexander Henry fabric of all of 2009. When I saw it, the whole bolt was sitting in front of me, and since I didn't have a clue what I would do with it, I bought only one yard to come home and think about further purchases. By the time I went back to get more, IT WAS GONE (and surely that is part of why I love it so much, because it became impossible to find)! I've been waiting to use it somewhere, and think I found the perfect place...
And a zipper of course, because who can resist the "how to put a zipper in a pillow" tutorial?! It's the most genius tutorial you might ever stumble across.
I have only one pillow left before I have replaced every single decorative pillow that I moved to Korea with. The only problem now is, how can I top this one, or my most current, little row of house love?!
So anyway, maybe that's a big deal to make about a simple throw pillow (but seriously I could probably say more), the day before today, Darin suggested that I not be allowed to buy any more fabric until the sewing/laundry room was presentable again. Before I got too offended at his comment, I did some serious introspection and saw, he had a point.
To prove my love to him (or was it so that I could buy more fabric?), here's what I've managed so far (oh yeah, and I wasn't working alone, thanks Darin!!):
Darin taught me that in order to do it correctly, EVERYTHING had to be removed. Honestly without him I simply wouldn't have had it in me to do it so thoroughly. But because of him, it's done thoroughly and it is making all the difference. I feel like I can breath again! So really, the pillow is like a celebratory pillow, right?!
And finally, I leave you with one birthday outfit almost done. The shirt is stumping me. I don't think I like it how it is. So I'm appealing to you my blogging, sewing, or otherwise friends, do you think it's working, or should it be changed? I was wondering if the cupcake holder should be a solid color? Maybe out of felt? Seriously, does anyone have any thoughts?
(The skirt is my version of the patch work skirt from the spring/summer "Stitch" magazine. It's the second time I've made it, and I have to say it's a great pattern, but only if you have a serger. Each and every seam on the back side is serged! That's a lot of serging. )
So that's what's been keeping me busy for the past three days.

What happened
Air Force has defeated three Top 25 teams in its basketball history, and two of them are San Diego State. The Falcons beat a ranked SDSU team at Clune Arena for the second straight year, 70-67 to improve to 14-6 overall and 5-2 in the Mountain West. The No. 22 Aztecs fell to 16-5, 4-3.
How it happened
The Falcons used torrid first-half shooting behind the arc (8 of 18) and equally tepid SDSU shooting (0 of 9) to lead 35-30 at intermission, then 59-47 with 9:52 to go. But the Aztecs fought back and were tied with 1:44 left before the Falcons made their free throws down the stretch. Down three with 14.5 seconds left, the Aztecs got two looks at a 3. Both, by Jamaal Franklin (25 points) and James Rahon (14 points), missed.
Key player
Michael Lyons showed why he is second in the Mountain West in scoring, finishing with 20 points on 7-of-12 shooting to go with five rebounds and four assists. That included a desperation, contested, off-balance 3-pointer as the shot clock was expiring, and a three-point play on an improbable left-handed layup in traffic.
Key play
With the Aztecs down 68-67 inside 30 seconds to go and the shot clock running down, Air Force sophomore forward Kamryn Williams appeared to travel at least once and maybe twice. Instead, JJ O'Brien was whistled for a foul and Williams went to the line. He made both free throws with 14.5 seconds left for a 70-67 advantage that held up.
Key stat
Air Force goes 12 of 30 (40 percent) behind the arc, but the most impressive part was this: Seven different players made them. It makes it hard to guard a team when everyone can shoot it from deep like that.
Walking wounded
Xavier Thames' back had shown signs of improvement all week, and then suddenly he got to Clune Arena on Saturday morning and it was stiff again. He didn't suit up after playing in the past two games and having a full week off. Chase Tapley suited up and started, but he wore a brace on his right wrist that seemed to bother him and he merely had it taped for the second half. Tapley couldn't shoot (1 of 7, two points) and he didn't score until 1:44 to go, but he compensated with passing, finishing with six assists.
Unselfish play
It's rare you see this, but the two teams combined to have 22 assists on their first 22 combined baskets. It wasn't until the final minutes of the first half that we actually had a basket that wasn't assisted.
In the zone
Air Force coach Dave Pilipovich stuck with a 1-2-2 zone for most of the game, going to man sporadically in the final 10 minutes. That helps explain SDSU's high assist and rebounding numbers: 19 assists on 25 made baskets and 15 offensive rebounds (and a 16-6 advantage in points in the paint).
Next up
The Aztecs get the easiest week of the season, at least on paper, with a pair of home games: Wednesday against Boise State and Saturday against Fresno State, which are a combined 3-10 in Mountain West play. Then comes the toughest week: road games at Colorado State and UNLV.

LONG : Rovers hold no fear in cup test
SHARLSTON Rovers head coach Gordy Long says his side hold no fear ahead of Saturdays Carnegie Challenge Cup third round tie at Doncaster (kick-off 3pm).
Pennine League Rovers will be the underdogs going into the clash with the Co-operative Division 1 side but Long is confident in his sides ability to cause a cup upset against Tony Millers men.
We think theyll be as nervous as well be, he said. Ive had a chat with Mike Emmett [who left Sharlston to join the Dons last year] and hes not looking forward to playing us. He knows how good we can be.
Were really looking forward to it, well be giving it our best shot. Weve got nothing to lose and if we go out there and play well then theres nothing more I can ask of the players.
Long has confirmed Brian Sutton will be back in the squad after missing last weekends defeat at Drighlington, while Tom Wandless (dead leg) and Scott Glassell (elbow) are both expected to be fit after sustaining knocks.
Dons coach Tony Millersays he is fully aware of the threat posed by Sharlston Rovers and in particular their former professional Craig Miles. Miles is an ex-Doncaster and Dewsbury player and is one of a number of links between the two clubs.
I went to watch them at the weekend, and I know theyve been consistently one of the best amateur teams for the last four or five years, Miller said. Theyve got a big pack, Craig Miles can be a real handful on his day, and Ive coached a couple of the other guys as well.
Im expecting them to come with a lot of enthusiasm and take the game to us. It wont be an easy game and we need to play smart, because they have consistently proved that they are a good side. Well be treating them with respect.
Miller will check on injuries to Dean Colton (groin), Paul Cooke (Achilles) and Keiran Hyde (groin) before finalising his line-up. Dons hooker Mike Emmett had a spell with Sharlston in recent years, before rejoining the professional game.
Sharlston assistant coach Jon Waddle and Miles were also both members of the Dewsbury side beaten by the amateur club in this round of the Cup in 2004. They know what its like to be a professional player and get beaten by amateurs, and Im sure they want to give that feeling to Doncaster, club secretary Jamie Hobbs said. The main thing is it that it will be great for our lads to play at a stadium like the Keepmoat. But we are sure we can compete and were planning on doing that, not just having a day out.
Rovers have put on a third supporters coach for the trip to the Keepmoat Stadium. Theyll leave Weeland Road at 12.45pm and tickets, priced £6 for adults and free for children accompanying an adult, are available from the clubhouse or by contacting a committee member.
Match tickets are priced at £10 for adults, £5 concessions, £2 children (aged between 5-16) and free for under-5s. They can be bought in advance by contacting the Keepmoat Stadium ticket office on 01302 762576 or by buying on the day from the ticket office located on the South Stand. Tickets wont be sold on the turnstiles. Entry is via the east stand turnstiles 6-10 opening at 2pm.

Photographed from the beach at the Madinat Jumeirah. The Burj al Arab -- Tower of the Arabs -- rises above the Arabian Sea, and was built to look like a sail. The right side of the hotel is made from Kevlar, the bullet-proof material. Look at the crowd on the beach.

I just held the camera out with one hand and pressed the shutter. My foot really hurt on this whole trip, but if we didn't take the trip ("bought" with British Airways miles) by December 1, we were told we'd lose it. So I took golf carts everywhere, or sat by the pool. Easy, peasy in Dubai.

Marjorie having breakfast. We were surrounded by plants from Hawaii (or from tropical islands) like the naupaka. The poor things were struggling: I suspect the humidity is too low in Dubai, or it's too hot -- or both.

This colourful cocktail lounge actually sticks out from near the top of the Burj al Arab hotel. So we were actually hundreds of feet above the Arabian Sea.

Moon phase on 27 September 2092 Saturday is Waning Crescent, 25 days old Moon is in Leo.Share this page: twitter facebook linkedin
Waning Crescent is the lunar phase on . Seen from Earth, illuminated fraction of the Moon surface is 17% and getting smaller. The 25 days old Moon is in ♌ Leo.
Sunday Sun
Monday Mon
Tuesday Tue
Wednesday Wed
Thursday Thu
Friday Fri
Saturday Sat
Previous main lunar phase is the Last Quarter before 3 days on 23 September 2092 at 19:05.
Moon rises after midnight to early morning and sets in the afternoon. It is visible in the early morning low to the east.
Moon is passing about ∠17° of ♌ Leo tropical zodiac sector.
Lunar disc appears visually 5.1% narrower than solar disc. Moon and Sun apparent angular diameters are ∠1820" and ∠1915".
Next Full Moon is the Hunter Moon of October 2092 after 17 days on 15 October 2092 at 10:25.
There is low ocean tide on this date. Sun and Moon gravitational forces are not aligned, but meet at big angle, so their combined tidal force is weak.
The Moon is 25 days old. Earth's natural satellite is moving from the second to the final part of current synodic month. This is lunation 1146 of Meeus index or 2099 from Brown series.
Length of current 1146 lunation is 29 days, 11 hours and 1 minute. It is 48 minutes longer than next lunation 1147 length.
Length of current synodic month is 1 hour and 43 minutes shorter than the mean length of synodic month, but it is still 4 hours and 26 minutes longer, compared to 21st century shortest.
This lunation true anomaly is ∠282.2°. At the beginning of next synodic month true anomaly will be ∠312.2°. The length of upcoming synodic months will keep decreasing since the true anomaly gets closer to the value of New Moon at point of perigee (∠0° or ∠360°).
4 days after point of apogee on 22 September 2092 at 14:18 in ♊ Gemini. The lunar orbit is getting closer, while the Moon is moving inward the Earth. It will keep this direction for the next 6 days, until it get to the point of next perigee on 4 October 2092 at 11:15 in ♏ Scorpio.
Moon is 393 775 km (244 680 mi) away from Earth on this date. Moon moves closer next 6 days until perigee, when Earth-Moon distance will reach 365 907 km (227 364 mi).
Moon is in ascending node in ♌ Leo at 04:29 on this date, it crosses the ecliptic from South to North. Moon will follow the northern part of its orbit for the next 12 days to meet descending node on 9 October 2092 at 23:54 in ♒ Aquarius.
At 04:29 on this date the Moon is completing its previous draconic month and is entering the new one.
2 days after previous North standstill on 24 September 2092 at 12:04 in ♋ Cancer, when Moon has reached northern declination of ∠20.251°. Next 10 days the lunar orbit moves southward to face South declination of ∠-20.361° in the next southern standstill on 7 October 2092 at 16:31 in ♑ Capricorn.
After 3 days on 1 October 2092 at 09:15 in ♎ Libra, the Moon will be in New Moon geocentric conjunction with the Sun and this alignment forms next Sun-Moon-Earth syzygy.

In 1982... Brown was wrongfully convicted of a murder and sentenced to life in prison. In 2001, he was released based on DNA results...
Lucas County Prosecutor Julia Bates refuses to exonerate Brown and yet will not retry him. His case now rests in limbo...On Friday, March 16th at 8:00 AM there will be a rally for Danny Brown at Third Space, 137 North Michigan Street, Toledo, Ohio. At 9:00 AM demonstrators will march several blocks to the Lucas County Courthouse and encircle the courthouse. On Saturday, March 17th at 3:00 PM there will be a fundraising party to help Danny Brown publish his memoirs. The fundraiser will continue until 5:00 PM and will include light refreshments along with a question and answer session with Danny Brown. The organizers suggest a minimum donation of $5, but if you can give more than a fin they won't turn it down. There's more information below the fold.
History Mike has written about Danny Brown's plight several times, and his articles are worth reading. Here are a few links:
A Victim Of Justice: Danny Brown's Fight To Regain His Name (9/26/2005)
Danny Brown: Justice Denied, Again (3/26/2006)
Julia Bates: What About Danny Brown? (4/6/2007)
On Julia Bates, Danny Brown, and Justice (4/20/2009)
The long and short of this is that Danny Brown was wrongfully accused, railroaded and finally released from prison when DNA testing excluded a key piece of evidence used to convict him. Danny wrongfully spent 19 years in prison and now, years later, the Lucas County prosecutor Julia Bates refuses to either re-file charges and bring the case to trial or drop the entire business and exonerate Danny. Bates continues to maintain that Danny is a person of interest in an ongoing investigation - which very likely hasn't been touched in years. This means that Danny cannot be financially compensated for the years the State stole from him.
I'm not particularly civic minded. I'm of the live and let live philosophy, and truly believe that everyone has their own problems and are better off left alone. I make an exception for the abuse of law abiding citizens who are abused by the government.
I think this is a worthy cause, and I encourage everyone to show up and march for a few hours.

We have carefully chosen our curriculum, The Gospel Project for Kids, because we believe what we teach our kids is vital to their spiritual growth. The Gospel Project is a chronological Bible study that takes kids from Genesis through Revelation over the course of 3 years. Every lesson points to Christ and the story of redemption, helping kids understand God's love and His plan to save His people from the start.
Classroom Breakdown
- 0-2 years (Nursery)—Babies are provided a safe and loving environment with trained volunteers.
- 2-3 years—Toddlers are cared for by trained volunteers, introduced to basic Bible lessons and concepts, and given lots of creative play time.
- 4-5 years—Preschoolers are taught Bible lessons and concepts from trained volunteers, and are introduced to basic Bible memorization and truths about God and His word. They do lots of fun crafts and games that reinforce these lessons and concepts.
- K-1st grade—Through worship, Bible lessons, and fun activities, these young children begin to build an understanding of God's love for them, and His desire to be in a relationship with them. The trained volunteers in this classroom know how to engage the kids with creative activities, while challenging them with truths about God and His word.
- 2nd-5th grade—This oldest group of kids spends time each Sunday worshiping Jesus and hearing challenging lessons from Scripture. The lessons are gospel-focused, and the kids are encouraged to develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. Through crafts, games and activities, the kids learn theological truths and how to memorize God's word.
Safety Policies and Procedures:
The safety of our kids is of utmost importance to us. Kids are checked into our system, and unique ID tags are provided to parents. Children are well-supervised, and we only release kids to parents/guardians with proper ID tags. Each volunteer has completed a background check, submitted an application and met with the Kids Ministry Director for an interview. Our volunteers are regularly reminded of our safety procedures. A full Policy Manual can be made available upon request.

And of course Mums can make use of the facilities while they wait as well.


text: The past weekend was very low key just wanted to laze around to be honest. It was great to watch to few late nights World Cup Football matches live with Jishu. Saturday went to usual vegetable market at HAL. After a quick and early lunch we went to southern part of Bangalore to drop Jishu back home. It started to drizzle at first and very soon it was pouring by the time we reached BTM layout. The traffic started to move in snail pace and meanwhile Aaarush dozed off while seating in his car seat. So from BTM we went to checkout Oyster Bath Concepts at Jaynagar showroom. Luckily the rain stopped and we left Aarush for 5-10 minutes while sleeping as car was parked right infront of the showroom. From there wanted to go to Commercial Street as rain almost stopped. But on the way it again regained its power and was splashing water all over. So we decided to keep our feet dry and head towards home. It was a long detour to reach home to be honest and only person benefited was Aarush as he completed his afternoon nap. So at the end instead of going directly to home we went to Sambit's place and had a good time there.

"When Kerry told me she was having her wedding at her families Big Rock Fun Park in Taupo I knew it was going to be a special day. When I arrived at the park I didn't know what to photograph first, the Heirloom had styled everything so pretty! But what was probably the greatest of all was how super kind Mark and Kerry were. Two of the most genuine, loving and caring people who made my second shooter and me feel so welcome throughout the day. It was one of my favorite weekends of the summer, as I am sure it was theirs!"
What was your inspiration or theme for the day? I was born in the UK emigrating to NZ when I was 10. It was really important to me to incorporate some of my heritage into the day. We endeavoured to recreate an English fete theme and I think we pulled this off, it certainly was a relaxed atmosphere and the look was exactly how I envisaged.
What were your Save & Splurge items?
What music did you play for those special moments?
Did you stick to your budget?
In hindsight, is there anything that you would have done differently?
What advice would you give to future brides to be?

By Chris Douce
The issue of programmer performance has always interested me ever since reading Weinbergs the Psychology of Programming and stumbling across an old paper by Bill Curtis published in an IEEE journal back in 1981 entitled Substantiating Programmer Variability.
Software superheroes attracted me since being a 'competent' programmer, I felt that potentially I could learn some 'programming pearls' (or perls?) from programmers who the author considers to be 'cosmic'.
Software superheroes paints and an intriguing picture of the actions and individuals behind the conception of a number of fantastic software inventions, focusing significantly on the design and creation of programming languages. Software superheroes fills the gaps that Fire in the Valley and a number of other modern histories of computing fail to cover.
Lohr traces the well-known route from wires, to assembly language from binary numbers, bootstrapping the book with an illuminating description of the development of Fortran. Fortran is naturally followed with a discussion of Cobol, where a number of my long held historical misconceptions were clarified. Other languages include the development of the 'latin' of computer languages, Algol and its descendants, Pascal and C, leading gradually towards innovations in C++ and Java.
Due to my own sense of aesthetics I felt the inclusion of BASIC and Visual Basic a little surprising, but I was to be persuaded. I learnt a little too: before BASIC made its force felt, a small number of related languages were developed, one was called DOPE, entitled Dartmouth Oversimplified Programming Experiment. Lohr continued with a brief, well worn discussion as to how Microsoft began, followed with a description of how Visual Basic became the popular programming tool that it is today.
Leading into more modern times, approximately ten years ago, Java was introduced to the reader. Java could be considered a language with no sharp edges, aimed at 'average' programmers, where simple rules can 'free' the programmer to focus on problems. This relates to the earlier development of Cobol, where the use of verbs rather than symbols sparked intense debate.
The design and evolution of programming languages is one of the central themes of the book, but is not the main one. The development, use and acceptance of operating systems is also described, notably IBM's famous OS/360 and Unix. Different development philosophies behind these two systems are compared and contrasted. The first being developed by teams of programmers, the second being developed by only two key talented programmers. Both intended to serve different ends.
On top of operating systems, lie applications. The origins of the Word wordprocessor and Lotus spreadsheets are provided along with, interestingly, SQL. Databases are perceived by so many as to be the unfashionable underbelly of software and incredibly easy to forget about. The inclusion of such an important software artifact, and one that has to be programmed, is admirable.
Tantalisingly, Lohr writes that '[Charles] Simonyi [of Microsoft] is working on a technology that he hopes will free the human intelligence', who wishes to liberate abstractions from closed programming languages. It has been said that cosmic programmers can outperform average programmers at rates of ten to one, a fantasic figure considering many other forms of human endeavour.
There is a commonality between these superheroes: an interest in invention, patience and wanting to know how things work. Designers of fantastic software, it is hypothesised, are motivated by pragmatism and the need to solve real-world problems, hence the creation of the tools of Fortran, Stroustrup's C++ and, more recently, Java.
The final chapter concludes with a discussion regarding open-source software, with an outline as to what the open-source moment is, a brief description of the development of the Apache web-server and an introduction into some of the movement's most famous characters.
I feel that there is something missing from this book. I agree with Lohr's selection of superheroes and I very much doubt that I could have chosen better. I feel that there are many more superheroes out there, unfamous work-a-day superheroes who do not receive glamour, credit or acclaim. superheroes who keep organisations working and products shipping. I feel the inclusion of the chapter on open source software is a firm nod in this direction.
From my own interest in what makes programmers tick and trying to understand what I do everyday, working in a 'curious blend of art, science and engineering', Software superheroes hits the spot. Perhaps Lohr could write another book about other unseen digital superheroes who remain hidden from us all.
I will not reveal the final sentence, but I must say, I do agree with Knuth. There is something musical about programming!
