*Magpie* - Get Smitten Vintage Fabric Bundle for Autumn
As you no doubt already know, I am an avid hunter of vintage textiles. I love to combine mid century floral fabrics along with simple crochet into many of my designs and kits at Get Smitten and this Spring I decided to share some of my extensive stash of treasures in the form of fat quarters
The Get Smitten store on Etsy is currently boasting some of my more Autumnal coloured vintage fabric fat quarters, in warm shades of golden yellow, orange, fawn, chestnut and soft foresty greens - ideal for an array of creative projects to take you into the cooler months
I spent a few happy hours this afternoon outside photographing this bundle of 4 fat quarters that I pulled together as a discounted set (a saving of €2 on the individual prices per fat quarter). I love the textures in nature that lend themselves perfectly to the Autumn theme.. the old wooden bench against the stone wall, the rough twine against the prettiness of the fabric; subtle but still so beautiful
I'm starting to get to grips a little more with this camera now - it's a Sigma SD14 with a vintage Olympus lens - tentatively lent to me by JW who, in case you didn't know, is a pro photographer. He loves to scout for vintage camera goodies while I'm snuffling out the fabrics, crockery and books! We make a formidable team. But he is quite protective of his kit and I am rather enjoying using this particular set up!
Anyway, back to the fabric! I thought it would be fun to pull together a mini collection of vintage fabrics under the theme of a seasonal colour palette - I know that for some of my students, selecting a range of fabrics to use can be one of the most difficult / time consuming parts of any project and can often be the main factor holding them off from starting something new. I chose 4 fat quarters as this makes the total quantity of fabric one metre
This set would work perfectly in my Brit Brit Hooray Union Jack cushion or as bunting for an Autumnal celebration such as Thanksgiving, a harvest festival or even Halloween. You could make an apron, a bag, a sewing machine cover, place-mats, a table runner, mini gift bags; the possibilities are endless!
I created a group on Flickr recently so that my Get Smitten clients can showcase the items they have made with either the vintage fabric supplies or any of my patterns. I hope whomever buys this yummy set of fabrics shows us what they do with them... I'd love to see, wouldn't you?

p.s. this wasn't meant to be me shamelessly plugging my work but whilst I'm here I may as well also shout up the Get Smitten fan page on Facebook - I would LOVE to have you come over and 'Like' it so that we can chat! See you there! xx

Je crochet, tu crochet... nous crochetons?
I often find myself reaching for solace in a magazine on a rainy weekend - so this Saturday I treated myself to an issue of French yarn mag Phildar. (I told you I was obsessing over yarns!) I guess it was a combined lure of the bright colours on the cover and the fact that this issue boasted a whole bunch of crochet projects!
The magazine is a summer edition so I will be adapting the yarn choice to make them work for this fast approaching Autumn / Winter season. I have a ton of soft beige mohair to use up and so will ease myself back into the world of knit with this simple, flowing cardi
I reclaimed the yarn from a huge Alpaca jumper last winter, it is a lovely caramel colour and so I think I'll make it up into the lace effect waistcoat, below, which I'll be wearing over my new, knitted, navy sweater dress, nipped in at the waist with a giant, tan leather belt. I have a long train journey coming up next week and this will be the perfect travel project!
This is possibly the project that swung the purchase for me... I love the effect of waves in crochet, especially when using different textured yarn and have been wondering how to incorporate some deep blue, glittery yarn I came across last summer into a project. I'm thinking of teaming it with grey & silver... not yet decided on the accent colour as yet. It will involve a lengthy delve into the depths of my supplies!
So feeling all inspired and pleased with myself I sat making these decisions over a nice cup of tea in the dry warmth of my lounge... and then it hit me.
All the instructions are in French!
Now, a crochet pattern looks scary enough on first sight at the best of times, but throw in the added complication of a foreign language and there is sure to be some head scratching going on! Not to mention quite a bit of un-doing and re-doing... ooh la la!
But I'm up for this challenge; in fact I'm so totally ready for this challenge I can hardly wait until my train journey next week to begin. You see, I have been planning (and chickening-out) of running my crochet & sewing workshops as bilingual sessions for some time. My French is good, but teaching in French to the French has always seemed a bit too scary... I mean, teaching in your own language can be tricky enough when you need to find alternate ways of explaining something until that wondrous "a-ha" light-bulb moment arrives for the student.
So, now it's my turn to be the student again - seems like perfect timing what with all the kids returning to school this week! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I'm looking forward to enhancing my vocabulary, learning new terms of phrase and experiencing that joyful eureka moment of success! And most of all I'm excited to be pushing my comfort zone and finally having the confidence to take Get Smitten Creative Workshops to the next level!
Wish me luck!

p.s - 'crochet' means 'hook' in French, however, it is not a verb to be conjugated as implied in the blog title! You would actually say 'je fais du crochet' (I do crochet) as it is a pastime. Just sayin'!

Smitten with September
It's September right? Good; this means that I can officially start getting excited about knitwear and yarns. Not that I'm not excited about them for the rest of the year you understand, it's just that once September kicks in I am likely to have a few more people to share this passion with! Hurrah!
I adore September - the crisp blue skies, the low but warm sun, the smell of Autumn approaching, the textures in nature and most of all the fact that you can snuggle into a cardi or drape yourself in a scarf whilst still wearing shorts!
So what's on the cards at Get Smitten then? I hear you cry. Well, the Get Hooked! learn to crochet workshops will commence, followed by a short series of workshops in which we will make some small items... I'm currently working on the designs right now and have selected the perfect tweedy yarn for one of them already!
Local boutiques will take stock of my latest range of hand crocheted beanies - there's plenty of sparkle, texture and floppiness to be seen this year
There will be online tutorials for crochet projects - hopefully with video! (gulp!)
I will be harvesting yarn from pre-loved garments, brocantes and charity shops to use in my work
And for personal happiness I will be adding the finishing rounds to my utterly gorgeous crochet blanket, trying my hand at crocheting socks (not sure why but feel I ought to give it a go!) and dusting off the knitting needles to make myself a cashmere cardigan from a vintage pattern
Nothing too ambitious there then!
Naturally, I'll keep you in the loop (crochet pun intended!) with my yarn adventures and hopefully inspire you to have a go yourself. It's easier than you think! You'll love it, I promise

Radroaches are creatures that appear in Fallout Shelter.
Great American cockroaches, colloquially called radroaches or simply giant cockroaches, are giant versions of the pre-War species Periplaneta americana that have increased in size due to prolonged exposure to the radioactive fallout of the Great War.[1]
Radroaches are technically the weakest enemies in the game, and will be encountered when sending vault dwellers out to explore the wastes, and during incidents, in which they will commonly infest rooms that have failed a rush order. During the beginning of the game, radroaches can be taken down by vault dwellers that are not even equipped; however, as more and more vault dwellers are introduced to the vault, and especially should they be allowed to infest a vault to great numbers, they will become stronger and stronger, to the point where heavily equipped vault dwellers will be needed just to take down a small group of them.

As the season turns, the feeling of death slowly envelops us. What begins with a beauty of change slowly dawns with the realization that winter is indeed coming. And though each winter season is different, like every life, death comes marching along just the same.
The concept of Death (capital "D") was a theme that has obsessed composers, artists, writers and the general public from the dawning of the time. Early cave drawings depict not only scenes of life, but also an afterlife of fantastical underworlds (and overworlds). Many of the earliest known burial sites show that humans were indeed expecting something, as weapons and other power items were packed in the grave to accompany the journey to the afterlife.
That Death is an eternal theme throughout our human history is no wonder. Who among us has not pondered it at one time or another? A nagging reminder for most, it becomes an obsession for others. Cultural norms develop and concentrate on making this transition in a healthy way. In many cultures, death receives a personification; as an entity, spectre or god.
European culture had been obsessed with such a personification since at least the Middle Ages—long before both Schubert and Mahler considered the concept. Death as a personification, and also as unavoidable reality, is expressed musically in many of their works. The focus even affects the chosen keys of a piece of music. For the string quartet known as "Death and the Maiden Franz Schubert chose to write in D minor, a key that is often used for expressions of death, moonlight and shadows.
Gustav Mahler became fascinated not only with the thematic elements, but also with the written score of Schubert's 14th String Quartet, known as "Death and the Maiden," planning to bring the piece to the concert stage in a new realization for string orchestra. Mahler never completed his edits of Schubert's score, however, and only the second movement saw a performance in his lifetime. Long after his death, Mahler's daughter rediscovered the score which was later edited and finally performed in its entirety in 1984.
Schubert's 14th string quartet takes it's subtitle from a song of the same name written in 1817. The text reflects both the terror and comfort of death—both the event and the personification. For the quartet, Schubert chose to use only the portion of the song that accompanies "Death" in the song. Although it only appears as the basis for a set of variations in the 2nd movement, Schubert continues the mood of the entire song throughout the quartet—the dichotomy of Death providing both terror and comfort, and the accompanying contrast of light and dark, resulting in what many consider to be an early tone poem.
Here's the short text from Schubert's song (text by Matthias Claudius) (from Wikipedia)
|Original German
|English Translation
|Das Mädchen:
Vorüber! Ach, vorüber!
Geh, wilder Knochenmann!
Ich bin noch jung! Geh, lieber,
Und rühre mich nicht an.
Und rühre mich nicht an.
Der Tod:
Gib deine Hand, du schön und zart Gebild!
Bin Freund, und komme nicht, zu strafen.
Sei gutes Muts! ich bin nicht wild,
Sollst sanft in meinen Armen schlafen!
|The Maiden:
Pass me by! Oh, pass me by!
Go, fierce man of bones!
I am still young! Go, rather,
And do not touch me.
And do not touch me.
Give me your hand, you beautiful and tender form!
I am a friend, and come not to punish.
Be of good cheer! I am not fierce,
Softly shall you sleep in my arms!
Luckily, those in the Salt Lake City area can hear Sinfonia Salt Lake perform the Mahler transcription of Schubert's "Death and the Maiden, Monday, October 10 at 7:30 p.m. at the Salt Lake Masonic Temple Auditorium. Details and tickets here: www.sinfoniasaltlake.com
Just how powerful is the music you will hear Monday night? Apparently, very powerful indeed. At the state funeral of Norwegian statesman and polar explorer Fridtjof Nansen Schubert's music replaced the normal eulogies. Rather than speeches reviewing Nansen's great contributions the audience sat quietly and reflected as Schubert's Death and the Maiden was performed.
"We all have a Land of Beyond to seek in our life—what more can we ask? Our part is to find the trail that leads to it. A long trail, a hard trail, maybe; but the call comes to us, and we have to go. Rooted deep in the nature of every one of us is the spirit of adventure, the call of the wild—vibrating under all our actions, making life deeper and higher and nobler" ~ Fridtjof Nansen (Norwegian Polar Explorer and Statesman)

Nudity, nudity, nudity. There's more of it coming your way starting on Saturday, when an art project called "I'll Raise You One…" opens at Art in General, at 79 Walker Street in Tribeca. The project, which is the creation of artist Zefrey Throwell (who will participate himself) involves seven men and women playing strip poker. Prepare for a certain contingent of folks to get angry, because the art, and nudity, will be visible from the street, with poker games running seven and a half hours a day for a week, reports DNAinfo.
Throwell sees strip poker as a metaphor for the economy, with clothing symbolizing money. While skill can help, the people who show up with the least clothing are in the worst shape, and no one can control the luck of the draw.
"Wealth is unequally distributed — yet we're all expected to play by the same rules," Throwell said. "It's a political and economic criticism."
Art in General describes the work as a "continuous strip poker game performed in the public realm. At the end of each round, when the participants typically exit and private affairs begin, playing members will get dressed and begin again, creating a nonsensical repetitive pattern that continues round after round," establishing "a world of absurdity and purposelessness, letting the casual onlooker join in a guilt-free voyeurism, while teasing out a different outlook on our personal interactions and day to day routines."
Earlier this year Throwell was behind a project in which people stripped on Wall Street.
"I'll Raise You One" runs from 10:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily until November 19. Plan your Tribeca visits wisely.

I've been a bit obsessed with Pupusas lately. [Pupusas is pronounced poo-poo-sas (the "a" sounds like it does in the word "call")]
It all started about a little over a month or so ago, when I saw them mentioned on one of my favorite Web sites, Serious Eats.
Intrigued, I did a little research on pupusas and looked at some pictures. I was completely baffled in that I'd never heard of them before. I thought I was well-versed on Latin American foods.
As soon as I got a chance (a week or so later), I made a trek to Waltham, MA where there is a little, informal restaurant called Guanachapi's. Their menu is a mix of Guatemalan, Salvadoran (that's El Salvador), and Mexican foods. By the way, Guanachapi is a slang term for someone who is of both Guatemalan and El Salvadoran heritage.
I ordered two types of pupusas: a cheese pupusa and a bean one. The cheese pupusa was okay. It probably would have been better if I had dipped it in the sauce they gave me, but I was in the car and wanted to try my pupusa while it was hot. The cheese was a bland, white cheese. I'm not sure of the type, but I don't think it was queso fresco because it did melt. It had a wee bit of some sort of chile pepper in it, but not enough for me. Here's a picture of that very pupusa from Guanachapi's:
Perhaps you notice that opening on the top where the white cheese is visible with a tiny bit of a green something.
The bean pupusa was much more flavorful. Not only did it have beans (of brown or pink persuasion), but it also had cheese. This pupusa was heavenly, though there was no way to make it attractive when I took this photo in the car:
Now that I had eaten a real pupusa, I was ready to try making them at home. My recipe here is my own. I actually had some experience with the dough part because it is the same dough that is used to make sopes (a Mexican dish). In fact, a pupusa is very similar to a sope (pronounced soap-ay) when it comes to ingredients. I'll have to do a post on sopes some day.
I would have liked to have used a Mexican cheese for my pupusas, but I was unable to go to the bodega. It's a little far from here. So I decided to try some medium asiago that I saw at the grocery store. Looking back at that decision, I think I'd go for a fresh asiago next time because it is less sharp in taste. Other options for cheese in this dish would be monterrey jack, farmer's cheese, or mozarella. Since I significantly flavor the beans in my recipe, any of these milder cheeses would be appropriate. Other than that, I was quite impressed with my pupusa experiment. I will recommend my recipe to you!
For my pupusas today, I used about 2 tablespoons of Xochitl asado sauce (sold in supermarkets and Trader Joe's). If I had a different tomatillo-based sauce, I may have used less of it. The Xochitl was pretty watery and had less flavor than tomatillo salsa. So I'm going to say to use the amount of tomatillo salsa that makes you happy.
Black Bean and Cheese Pupusas
For the Masa (Dough)
1 cup masa harina (Maseca or MasaRica)
1 cup water
1/2 tsp. salt
For the Filling
1 (15 oz) can of black beans, drained and rinsed
1-2 Tbs. tomatillo salsa
1/3 cup chopped sweet onion
vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
1/3 cup mild white cheese (monterrey jack, fresh asiago,farmer's cheese, or mozarella)
Begin by making the filling.
Sautee the onion in oil with salt and pepper.
Add the drained and rinsed beans.
Add the tomatillo salsa. You will have something that looks like this.
Put the bean mixture into a food processor or mash by hand. You will have a mash that resembles this:
Add the cheese. This is my filling once I added the cheese:
Start making the dough.
Mix the masa harina, salt, and water in a deep bowl with your hands. It will seem way too watery at first, but as you continue to mix, the water will be absorbed. You want the consistency of the dough to be soft, moist, and workable. Think of a fresh canister of play dough. It will be a little less rubbery than that.
Take a handful of the dough and make a ball between your palms. Mold the ball into the shape of a little bowl as it is in this picture:
This particular ball of dough was the perfect consistency. Your dough is too dry if the edges crack.
Put some bean and cheese filling into that little bowl, leaving enough room at the top so that you can bring the edges up and have the filling completely contained inside the dough.
Begin passing the dough from hand to hand, flattening it a little with each pass from left to right:
If you see the edges begin to crack, as mine did, moisten your hand with just a little bit of watter and pat the dough more to moisten it just slightly. When your dough is the right consistency, it will look like this once it is filled and properly patted into a pancake shape:
When all your pupusa patties are ready, heat a heavy, wide-bottomed or flat skillet until hot. Brush the pupusas with oil and cook them on each side 4-5 minutes until they turn golden-brown. The outside should be firm.
Here was my first good pupusa (I had to throw away my first batch due to quality control).
Look at that little bit of bean and cheese mash beginning to ooze out of the pupusa! Yum!
This particular pupusa had more oil than the other two. If you look at the picture below, this pupusa is the one on the left. It's more browned than the others because of that extra oil.
I cracked the next one open so you can see what it looks like:
Enjoy your pupusas while they are still hot.

RTI offers a wide range of standard and full custom test press solutions for PCB, hybrid module, and device level testing. A test press is comprised of two fundamental parts. First is a universal test press base fixture which provides the mechanical compression force during test. Second is an interface module that provides electrical connections to the device under test and routes the signals to a connector or measurement system of choice.
These solutions can be designed in single site or multi site test configuration. RTI fixtures also offer tray based configurations to facilitate rapid device loading/unloading for improved ease of handling and where high unit per hour throughput is required
RTI's test presses can be manually or pneumatically controlled. External electrical or control interface signals can have access through the front or rear of the fixtures. RTI also provides standard interface docking to match many popular manufacturing test floor requirements.
Ergonomics is a key design goal for all RTI Test Solutions. Ease of use and operator safety are critical. Fixtures are reviewed to ensure all hi-voltage areas are out of reach/touch by operators. Visual access is assured with most lids and isolation areas viewed thru clear acrylic.

This will not replace the super expensive SLS AMG.
As there are rumors it will compete with the Porsche 911 both in size and price.
And it does have regular doors and a rear hatch.
(And, I see a glass roof in the 3rd pic.)
I am hoping to get exterior shots very soon...

The Radio Buzz. The top talk radio stories of the day.
Hank Williams Jr. put in a "time out" of sorts by ESPN.
"Hank Williams' is a bit of a bad boy - that's his image."
Political and Image Consultant Maurice Bonamigo speaking with Tony Cruise at WHAS in Louisville.
ESPN pulled Hank's song "Are You Ready For Some Football" from the broadcast of Monday Night Football as a result of comments made by Williams on Monday morning's "Fox and Friends" on Fox News Channel.
During the interview, Williams spoke about a golf game in June involving Obama and House Speaker John Boehner against Vice President Biden and Ohio Governor Kasich, initially calling it "one of the biggest political mistakes ever."
To emphasize his opinion, Williams went on saying, "Come on. That'd be like (Adolf) Hitler playing golf with (Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu."
"What he said, he did not call Obama or did not compare Obama with Hitler. So let's clarify that. He used an analogy of Boehner and Obama as an analogy of Hitler and Netanyahu."
So there's going to have to be some major damage control here in order to maintain his image right? What does Hank need to do?
"What Hank Williams needs to do instead of going on Facebook and issuing some ridiculous stupid apology - which I don't buy because that's a cop out - he needs to come on national television, radio, whatever you want to call it - and say look - yeah - you know - I said something - maybe I shouldn't have said it - I'm sorry I said it, you know it was a mistake - I didn't call Obama or Boehner Hitler - whatever - I'm sorry - let's move on. Over and done with. You gotta do that."
Buzzing right along --
Drunk on Facebook?
A new study suggests that a student's Facebook page may actually show whether he or she is at risk for alcohol dependence or abuse.
"It basically picked a bunch of profiles - 300 profiles - and had a little over 200 of them fill out the big survey that tells us that somebody may be at risk for alcohol dependence called the audit test."
A simple ten question multiple choice test.
What did it show?
"People on this survey who filled out the audit - who showed that they might be at risk for alcohol dependence - were also the same ones who posted high risk material on their Facebook."
Researchers concluded that those students - as Dr. O'Keefe mentions - who posted pictures or messages about getting drunk or even passing out were more likely to be at risk than those students who may have just mentioned drinking on their pages.
I'm Jessica Curtis, and that's your Talk Radio Buzz from Fox News Radio.

I often recommend that my patients eat more salmon and they often ask me for new ways to cook it. So here is one of my most requested recipes, popular because it is easy to prepare and full of fresh flavors. If you don't have tangerines, substitute other citrus fruit like oranges, mandarins or clementines.
In the winter, wild salmon isn't available fresh and frozen fish can turn out dry. I have two strategies to ensure that the finished dish is moist and tender: I use a grill pan to minimize contact with the hot surface and residual heat to finish cooking the salmon through.
If you have enough tangerines, make extra sauce and turn what is leftover into a citrus vinaigrette: whisk in white wine vinegar (or other vinegar) and extra virgin olive oil to taste and toss with your favorite salad greens.
-1 cup fresh squeezed juice from 2 to 3 tangerines
-1 tsp freshly grated ginger
-Sea salt to taste
-Ground peppercorn
-Extra virgin olive oil
-1 pound wild salmon fillets or steaks at room temperature, cut into individual (4 oz) portions
Add the tangerine juice, grated ginger, and a small pinch of ground peppercorn to a small saucepan. Warm the mixture over medium heat until it comes to a boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer until reduced to approximately 1/3 cup, about 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Season with sea salt to taste.
While the sauce reduces, preheat the grill pan over medium heat until hot. Brush the salmon with olive oil and season it with sea salt and ground peppercorn. Place the fish, seasoned-side down, on the grill pan. Brush the other side with olive oil and season with sea salt and peppercorn.
Cook until brown grill marks appear, about 5 minutes. Turn the fish over. Cook for one more minute, then turn off the heat. Cover and allow the fish to finish cooking with residual heat, about 5 more minutes (depending on the thickness of the salmon) until flaky and just cooked through. Do not overcook.
Serve the salmon immediately with the sauce.

Our solution can offer connectivity for distances of up to 10km, much further than you'd get with Wi-Fi or 3G/4G/5G services.
Fully scalable at pace
From one user to several thousand, Whitespace solutions can start as big or as small as needed, and scale very quickly when required.
Line-of-sight not required
Trees? Hills? Buildings? No problem, Whitespace solutions can handle all of these.
For Local Authorities and Government
Many fast or high speed broadband suppliers overpromise and under-deliver, and frequently only get to 90% service coverage. Whitespace can cover that last 10%, without digging up roads, or using costly satellite services.
Do you live in a broadband not-spot? Are you struggling to get the service your community needs? We can deliver high-speed, affordable internet services to even the most rural areas.

One of my longest time dreams and still is one but is currently on the back-burner is to do the following. Make and publish a video game i went to school for game design. Get my own place and get a car I have been saving up for both of these. However the big step with that now is getting my driver's license. Start dating again this is probably the hardest one to even consider right now. However my next goal/dream of losing some weight will probably help with my confidence. I also want to start saving for retirement which is going to require some research. Also of course i plan to play more video games!

Paul McCartney – Kisses on The Bottom (Review)
Review by Jack Foley
EVERY once in a while an established artist gets to pay tribute to the songs that inspired them and it's often an interesting listen. Paul McCartney's Kisses On The Bottom is exactly that – as well as an album of constant surprises.
With the help of Grammy Award-winning producer Tommy LiPuma and Diana Krall and her band – as well as guest appearances from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder – McCartney takes fans on a deeply personal journey through classic American compositions that, in some cases, he first heard his father perform on piano at home.
Billed as authentic and daring a musical statement that he could make, this is, by his own admission, an album that McCartney has been thinking about making for more than 20 years – and probably the last thing his fans are expecting.
"In the end it was 'look, if I don't do it now, I'll never do it'," he says, before adding: ""It was important for me to keep away from the more obvious song choices so, many of the classic standards will be unfamiliar to some people. I hope they are in for a pleasant surprise."
The standards in question hark back to the era when Fred Astaire transfixed film fans with his dancing, and writers like Harold Arlen and Cole Porter were in their prime. They're songs that are bathed in a classic romanticism and a cinematic memory that, while surprising, also bear a certain familiarity.
Highlights include It's Only A Paper Moon, which has an extremely playful quality as well as some delightful whistling from McCartney (likewise, on My Very Good Friend The Milkman); Glory of Love, which oozes old school romance, and Ac-Cent-Tchu-Ate The Positive, which McCartney delivers in a style that Frank Sinatra and the Rat Pack would have been proud of (or even latter day Harry Connick Jr and Jamie Cullum!).
But the real treats, arguably, for McCartney's legion of fans are the two original compositions that seek to emulate the style of the classics complete with additional help from Eric Clapton and Stevie Wonder.
Clapton's subtle but typically brilliant acoustic backing to My Valentine is a genuine treat and a classic meeting of two legends, while Wonder's harmonica adds a grand finale to the album on Only Our Hearts that retains the classic sensibility. They're great, if under-stated, cameos that embellish proceedings.
Elsewhere, Bye Bye Blackbird is gracefully delivered in genuine crooner style… McCartney's softer vocals set against subtle cymbal percussion and a strong piano and string arrangement for a classy jazz vibe.
And Get Yourself Another Fool making the most of some bluesy guitar backing that comes straight out of old slow hand's delivery.
The Inch Worm, meanwhile, demonstrates McCartney's desire to please himself if no one else with a standard that can only have come from his childhood inspirations. In doing so, however, he brings back memories of past tracks such as The Frog Song… so perhaps not that much of a surprise. And no matter how odd the selection, it's beautifully delivered complete with more strings and a great guitar solo.
All in all, this collection of standards taken from the Great American Songbook is an unexpected but welcome treat from an artist who sounds forever young even as he approaches his 70th year. Fans who may initially have questioned the idea behind the LP will no doubt be singing its praises very soon.
Download picks: It's Only A Paper Moon, Glory of Love, My Valentine, Bye Bye Blackbird, The Inch Worm, My Very Good Friend The Milkman, Get Yourself Another View

Confession time: I play D&D. I actively play Dungeons and Dragons, the iconic fantasy role-playing game created by Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson and first published in 1974. Depending on who you talk to, people who play this game are nerds, outcasts, rejects, and sometimes Satan-worshippers or witches (or something, I don't know). Some of that is probably true.
What is this D&D, you ask? Well, here's the official line from Hasbro-owned Wizards of the Coast.
Since the people of the Web love lists, here are five reasons I want my children to play D&D…
1. Dungeons and Dragons is about imagination. It is sitting at a table, with some books, paper and pencil (or their electronic equivalent, PDFs and spreadsheets), and using the power of your mind to throw yourself into a fantasy world. Everything that your characters do is something you decided for them to do. This is no video game designer laying out choices for you. In my 20-plus years of gaming, our characters have started wars, ended wars, rescued people, killed monsters, started towns, started criminal organizations, thrown parades, stopped parades, bought bars, built temples, in addition to countless other things.
2. Dungeons and Dragons is structure. No creative endeavor, be it art, music, writing or performance, can exist without a framework of rules and boundaries. Our English language is built on 26 letters and our music 12 notes. It is the creative person's mission to build something in the context of that structure that is worthwhile and maybe even entertaining.
3. Dungeons and Dragons is social. You can't play this game alone. It requires at least two people, and typically four to eight. Interacting with other people, especially face-to-face, is important. It just is.
4. Dungeons and Dragons is performance. In a game, you are always performing for other people. You're very much an actor playing a character. And just like a performer, sometimes you fall flat on your face. No one laughs, or doesn't find what you do believable. Any performing artist will tell you that, though this hurts, it's made them better people.
5. Dungeons and Dragons is problem-solving. The dungeon master (DM), the individual who runs the game, is responsible for challenging the players. The DM must sit down and come up with problems that the players may or may not solve. Players find the problems and try to solve them. I don't know what part of the brain this helps, but I'm sure it's important for cognitive development. Or something.
If you can think of more great reasons children should play D&D, share it in the comments!

Technical Report: UTEP-CS-17-80
While in the ideal world, everyone should have the same chance to succeed in a given profession, in reality, often the probability of success is different for people of different gender and/or ethnicity. For example, in the US, the probability of a female undergraduate student in computer science to get a PhD is lower than a similar probability for a male student. At first glance, it may seem that in such a situation, if we try to maximize our gain and we have a limited amount of resources, it is reasonable to concentrate on students with the higher probability of success -- i.e., on males, and only moral considerations prevent us from pursuing this seemingly economically optimal discriminatory strategy. In this paper, we show that this first impression is wrong: the discriminatory strategy is not only morally wrong, it is also not optimal -- and the morally preferable inclusive strategy is actually also economically better.

I realize that JamPants hasn't written or said anything worth while in over 8 months! People who actually read this are probably saying 'how can they just waste time and not do anything for 8 months?' The answer to that is very simple, R&R Pictures, we completely disowned JamPants and made a new company R&R Pictures (also on You-tube) which also came to no success. Why the change in pages and overall look on our homepage you may ask? JamPants is making a COMEBACK! JamPants is back with new shows and an actual will to survive. Kyle and I have, ever since quitting JamPants and making R&R Pictures, wanted to devote our time to our favorite creation 0.07 but unfortunately we let that die with JamPants. Kyle and i were so happy over 0.07 we decided to keep R&R Pictures but give JamPants another go and bought back the company with change from our couches and pieces of string. A full line of episodes have been written and produced for 0.07 and will be intended to find their way onto the internet. Also, I (Dylan) have a Lord of the Rings spoof in the works with a couple of friends. But first 0.07 will be donning the red flag of success and will be scheduled for two seasons, each containing 5 episodes. And if they work out a third and fourth season and some merchandise! LONG LIVE JAMPANTS (For the time-being that is...)

Iomega 1TB eGo USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive Review
- Extremely fast over USB 3.0, still speedy over USB 2.0
- Plug-and-Play simplicity
- 1TB model includes "Power Grip Band"
- Notebooks without USB 3.0 require an adapter for USB 3.0 speed
- 1TB model thicker than lower capacities
- Glossy exterior prone to fingerprint smudges and scratches
Earlier this year Iomega became the first PC storage company to announce that it would convert all its external USB hard drives to the new USB 3.0 standard. The Iomega eGo series of external hard drives has been known for colorful casings and a range of storage capacities, but now Iomega wants to take the lead in performance as well. We took a closer look at the newest 1TB eGo USB 3.0 Portable Hard Drive ($159) to find out if having a 1TB portable drive is worth the hefty price.
For better or worse almost every PC or Mac user eventually ends up buying an external hard drive. Eventually the internal hard drive or SSD that came with your laptop will fill up with software, family photos, music, email attachments, video downloads, and games. USB hard drives have satisfied our need to store precious data, but the old USB 2.0 port is painfully slow compared to the hard drive inside your notebook. This year we've seen notebooks with USB 3.0 and several companies now offer USB 3.0 ExpressCard adapters so we can add USB 3.0 to older laptops. At last, we can add external hard drives to our laptops that are virtually as fast as our internal hard drives.
Build and Design
In terms of the basic external shape and dimensions the new 1TB Iomega eGo Portable Hard drive is roughly the same length and width as the 500GB model we previously reviewed, but the enclosure is almost twice as thick in order to accommodate the physically larger hard disk drive. Other than the beefier exterior and a modest increase in weight, this eGo is virtually identical to last year's model.
- Dimensions (LxWxH): 5.15″ x 3.67″ x 1.02″
- Weight: 0.9 lbs
- USB 3.0 "SuperSpeed" cable, Length: 12″
Although the size and weight are a bit much for a portable hard drive, most consumers are probably willing to overlook that since you're getting 1TB of storage and USB 3.0 transfer speeds. Now that Iomega's entire line of USB hard drives is moving to USB 3.0 all the aluminum enclosures come in your choice of Ruby Red, Midnight Blue, Charcoal Gray, or Black. All of the various colors should keep their shine for several years thanks to the glossy automotive-quality paint job used by Iomega. In addition, the latest generation of eGo hard drives now include the Power Grip Band: a color-coordinated rubber band that provides extra protection in case you accidentally drop the hard drive.
The glossy, automotive-quality paint job looks very attractive, but you can scratch the finish by dropping car keys into you laptop bag next to the eGo drive. The exterior of the drive is extremely Spartan with only the mini-USB SuperSpeed port and an activity light located on one side of the drive. The LED activity light stays constantly lit when the drive is plugged in and idle, then it flashes on and off when the drive is active.
Iomega included a "Y" cable for connecting the eGo Portable Hard Drive to older notebooks or budget netbooks that might require two USB 2.0 connections in order to power an external hard drive. That said, all of the notebooks and netbooks we used during the testing period were able to supply enough power via a single USB connection.
For those of our readers who aren't familiar with USB 3.0 devices, the new eGo USB 3.0 drives and cables are completely backward compatible, so you can still use this portable hard drive with an older USB 2.0 computer … at USB 2.0 speed.

Well, back in February, had a little event called Gathering in the Desert, which was a huge success, had a few new out of state folks, as well as some old friends return from out of state. Good mix of us locals and other than the campaign scoring, everything went off without a hitch. We will be doing GitD again next year and it seems the theme will be Normandy!
I painted up a bunch of terrain as well as figures for this years event and got my German DAK force up to snuff and feel really good about getting that done.
Oh been painting a lot of Gates of Antares armies for my local store for demos, just finished up the Algoryans and will be working on the Freeborn next. If your wondering about GoAT, its a new sci fi game from Warlord which the base mechanic is the Bolt Action system, but with a whole lot of other rules. My buddy Mike is really digging the game and I am interested in it, but have not been wowed by anything that has come out. I am still waiting for a cool army to get behind. Right now I have a Concord force, but they are just okay, they do not wow me. Don't get me wrong, it is a good game with lots of detail, just not excited about the figures like another game I picked up.
So what's the other game, well it is Infinity! I picked up the two player set at the end of last year. A few months ago I picked up the rules and started reading them. Rob also picked up a force for the game and we are going to slowly learn the game in baby steps. We had a very basic game a few weekends ago, to get some of the core rules down. It went very well and I am now eyeing more models to add to the Nomads.
Now the Infinity models & terrain have me super excited about the game, much more than Gates. I will be picking up a few 4Ground buildings to build out a nice 4'x4' table. That's one thing that Infinity needs, lots of terrain.
This another game I am waiting for, Marvels Universe Miniature game from Knight Models. I have always wanted to do some Super Hero games, and with this game I can play the X-men. I am waiting for my local store to get the stuff in, which hopefully is this week. It also means that I will be running a few games of this at Phoenix Comic Con in June for our local shop. So I am pretty excited about this game as well.
Lastly, been on a nostalgic trip of late and been thinking about Blood Bowl. With GW announcing that the Specialist games are coming back & that Forge World showed new sculpts of BB figures. I have the itch to bust out and play Blood Bowl again. I have even been thinking of organizing a one day fun event for it. I have always wanted to do a BB event, I have been following events like Zlurpee bowl http://www.zlurpeebowl.com/wordpress_z/wordpress/ and other events. Maybe its time for me to do something about that, we shall see.
Anyway there you go, just a few things I am working on..

The Rise Of Emotional Clickbait
We are living in a time of peak online "overshare", so what does this mean for our digital footprints?
It's been quite a week for calling people out for their past online mistakes. Of course every single one of us has said things (and probably overshared) online in the past, perhaps not realising we were doing it, how many people had seen it or how long it's been floating around the Internet for. In a study from dating app Badoo, 24% of people confessed they accepted "friend requests" from people they don't really know and allow these people to see all their posts, and 47% believe they should be more guarded with what they say online. I wonder how many of us actually check our privacy settings across all of our different platforms and logins regularly. Or go back and do a bit of a digital spring clean.
"We have new "evidence" to play with and lots of it. It's never been easier to search someone's past."
Our digital footprints from the past have often come back to haunt us in light-hearted ways and marketed as being a fun thing to look back on. For example, Timehop. The logo for this digital 'time travel' app is a friendly little dragon cartoon that helps you see all the stuff you did a year ago, two years ago, three years ago… and I like it because it reminds me of my different haircuts and holiday poses over the years. Facebook Memories reminds me daily of the cringe slang language I used to use (I normally shake my head to myself: "I said what?") But for very famous YouTubers, the Internet hasn't been too kind this week. If you've read Jon Ronson's bestseller You've Been Publicly Shamed, this online mob mentality won't necessary shock you or surprise you too much. Zoella's old tweets have been dragged up from back in 2010 for which she has apologised for, and Jack Maynard has allegedly left the I Am A Celebrity Jungle because of offensive online slurs resurfacing from years ago. Lena Dunham's old tweets get circulated almost daily to reinforce someone's opinion of her. We have new "evidence" to play with and lots of it. It's never been easier to search someone's past, and I'm sure most of us could trawl through our own online history and find something slightly questionable, or a "funny" joke that wouldn't go down very well now. In the early days of Twitter, we were high on the freedom of having 140 characters to catapult into the ether with no real consequences. We weren't thinking of this idea of a digital footprint, or digital legacy, or something we'd have to defend publicly.
In the very early days of Facebook it was even normal to write an essay of your feelings and mundane plans on someone's public Facebook Wall, because Facebook hadn't rolled out direct messages yet. I cringe when Timehop reminds me of the chunky paragraphs I used to write on my friend's Facebook Walls about gossip that should have been private and so-and-so breaking up with me. It's also an annoying realisation that it would take too long to go back and delete everything.
"Right now, it's kind of weirdly normal to sell your life online."
But now it seems we are at peak overshare but this time we are older and wiser, and we are becoming more aware of how do it, filter it and even make money from it. Right now, it's kind of weirdly normal to sell your life online. Is it even yours anymore? The rise of emotional clickbait appears rife on social media. "Emotional clickbait" is a piece of content about an emotional subject with the aim to be widely shared and clicked. Honesty sells, and our life events have turned into mini marketing strategies."Likes" on an "I said yes!" engagement post. Retweets on getting a new puppy. A pregnancy bump on Instagram. The list goes on.
"Honesty sells, and our life events have turned into mini marketing strategies."
It feels rewarding getting validation for your life choices from a crowd. Perhaps the dopamine rush is to the blame for people now using their own harmless tactics or tricks to getting people to read their content all the time, to get more likes, video views or clicks. Maybe that's a long emotional Instagram caption. Maybe it's a eye-catching headline on your blog. We are all our own mini media houses now. Each social media user has a growing audience, whether that's millions around the world looking at your #ootds or school mates following your life milestones, and we want people to click on our stuff. Everyday people with a few thousand followers can label themselves a "public figure" on Instagram as a job title. Every day we see constant "shock factor" in the headlines on YouTube videos and blogs, a way to increase traffic and views. I Nearly Drove My Car Off A Cliff!!! When really the creator simply went on a scenic road-trip. It means it's less about connection, and more about the social media shares. If we are not careful, it's the emotional individual equivalent of the Daily Mail side-bar of shame, accept this time we are doing it to ourselves. We are our own invasive paparazzi.
"It's the emotional individual equivalent of the Daily Mail side-bar of shame, accept this time we are doing it to ourselves. We are our own invasive paparazzi."
Where's the line between sharing your life openly and honestly, versus wrapping your life up into clickbait headlines? Are we in danger of turning into our own shameless version of The Sun?
Every time I scan through Bloglovin' or YouTube's homepage there are videos with titles like "Why I'm Quitting My Job" or "A Difficult Week" or "What You Need To Know About Panic Attacks" and thank god that sharing your truth has become something totally normal. It's better than the fake smiles through gritted teeth. I love reading about other people's lives because the whole purpose is to make other people feel less alone. By looking inside the hearts and minds of others we learn a whole load more about ourselves in the process. I love honesty. I love reading graphic memoirs (I even wrote one) and agony aunt columns. Reading open and honest articles about love, life and death has made dark moments light again. But I can't help but think we are going too far in some cases and how it might cost us our sanity if we continue to mine our personal lives as 'content'.
"It might cost us our sanity if we continue to mine our personal lives as 'content'."
More research from Badoo stats that 62% have shared good news (e.g. a pregnancy or engagement) online and 39% of Americans have shared bad news (e.g. a death or divorce) on a social network. It's clear we love to share our lives, it's human nature but I think it matters how we do it, and why we do it.
When I interviewed Ryan O'Connell, for my podcast Ctrl Alt Delete, a writer who used to write very personal stories for Thought Catalog with quite clickbait headlines about his own life, it was interesting hearing about his personal evolution with how he shares. He used to write things like "Things I Can't Believe I Ever Put In Mouth" and "I Got My You-Know-What Waxed". We spoke about the danger of mining your own personal life for clicks. He told me how much more private he is now. In his book I'm Special and Other Stores We Tell Ourselves he says:
"The more fruitful your virtual life is, the more your real-life gets neglected."
I clicked on YouTube earlier today because for some reason it was on my homepage. The video thumbnail was of a girl in tears and the video title was 'My Boyfriend Died'. I didn't click on it because I immediately felt intrusive. It currently has over 3.5 million views. The first line of the YouTube description is "WATCH IN HD!" Then a description about the video, then a reminder to her viewers to "Follow me on Instagram for more frequent updates." The viewers and commenters had picked up on the fact that she has monetised the video – it has pre-roll brand advertisements, which felt jarring considering the sensitive and emotional topic. So many things about this made me question the way it's possible to share and exploit our own lives for clicks and money. Are we now comfortable with this as the norm? Am I allowed to feel weird about this?
There's also a question to be asked about whether we want to watch other people's lives in gory detail? The fact that such clickbait emotional content gets more clicks perhaps tells us just as much about the way we consume things online, as it does about the creators of the content.
I just hope that over time, as we continue to learn more about ourselves and own online etiquette, we feel in control of what we share. That we don't end up feeling empty, burn-out and sold-out in the long run. Ideally, in the future, we will each look back at our own digital footprint and it won't make us feel icky. Ideally, we will still have some of our selves left to share.

I'm so happy that you've written this essay, Emma. Reading it gave me comfort that I'm not alone in this whole being bothered by the oversharing trend at the moment online.
I've lived most of my life in the digital age and it always makes me so happy to read about honest stories of people and their experiences. Those wholesome and moving stories of single mothers conquering their everyday lives with their adorable children, the teens who take refuge on the Interwebs to be heard… They consistently inspire me.
But at the same time, I feel bothered at the idea that some people will use moving stories like these in such a, for a lack of better term, commercial way. I do hope we'll be able to learn more about online etiquette and strike up a conversation about this 🙂 Thank you so much for writing this and sharing your thoughts, Emma!
Yikes, I'm honestly shocked at the girl who's put 'Watch in HD' on that video! What a weird thing to do?
This world scares me.
