First, let's start with the bad news. On the Xbox 360 and PS3, the Tiger Woods PGA Tour series appears to have hit an impasse. In most respects, it's pretty difficult to tell this year's version from last year's effort, and while there are some major new game options and a few tweaks going on behind the scenes, this isn't anywhere near as convincing an update as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10, which itself wasn't as convincing an update as Tiger Woods PGA Tour 09.
It was with the 09 version that the series really found its feet on what we used to call the next-generation consoles, getting the analogue swing system and the game structure right, and producing golfers and landscapes that, well, kind-of looked like the real thing. Last year's model upped the atmosphere, changed the putting system improved the TV-style presentation and added a few new game modes to the mix, replacing the old Tiger Challenge with a historical Tournament Challenge, and throwing in the US Open.
So what do we get this year? Well, there's no need to hold onto your hats, because the principal changes aren't actually all that exciting. The big ones are the addition of The Ryder Cup to the play modes roster, a 24-player online team mode, the replacement of the Tournament Challenge mode with a Skills Challenge mode, a new True-Aim mode for a more realistic experience, five new courses, and a new Focus mechanic.
Of these, it's The Ryder Cup mode and the Focus mechanic that will be of most interest to the average player. The Ryder Cup gives you the Celtic Manor Twenty-Ten course being used in September's US vs. Europe extravaganza, and the chance to team up with Rory McIlroy, Colin Rose, Monty and the rest to thrash Tiger, Jim Furyk, Phil Mickelson and their Yankee cohorts. The course is great, and the gameplay - particularly the Foursomes where you take turns with a team-mate to play each shot - is very entertaining.
Focus, meanwhile, is a new gauge that limits how often you can use power boosts, accuracy boosts and putt previews to guarantee success. Using the perks runs down your focus gauge, while playing shots without them boosts it up again. This adds a new tactical dimension to the game; do you use a power boost now to get an advantage from the tee, or save Focus for accuracy boost and putt previews when you might desperately need them? It's up to you.
We're not so sure about True-Aim. It seems to have been designed for those weird souls who complain that Tiger Woods isn't enough like real golf, as it effectively removes all the targeting views that let you judge where the ball will land if hit well with a given club. Instead, True-Aim gives you a more straightforward third-person view that - with a "GPS-enabled" overhead view - is a closer approximation to what golfers have to work with in real life. In a way, it reminds us of the old-school PGA and Links games, and it means that, just as in real golf, you have to have some idea of clubs and distances to get anywhere. On the other hand, it also makes the game more difficult, less showy and - in our mind - less entertaining, which is probably why EA gives you the option to switch it off straight after the tutorial.
Don't get too excited about the Skills Challenge mode, either, as it's effectively the old Tiger Challenge mode, where various pro golfers challenge you to hit a tee shot harder than they can or complete 5 holes in fewer shots (or that sort of thing). It's worth playing because it's an accessible way of improving your golfer's experience and upping their RPG-style skills to give you an easier game, but it's hardly a revolution for the series.
And in general that's the problem with Tiger Woods 11 - it looks and feels too much like Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10. EA has made bold claims about graphical improvements, but these pretty much come down to some admittedly nice physics simulations for clothes and hair - making Rory McIlroy a vision of rippling trousers and flowing locks - rather than the more pervasive graphical enhancements that the series desperately needs. Why machines capable of running Assassin's Creed 2 and Crysis 2 can't produce photorealistic courses and golfers is anyone's guess, but it's getting a bit embarrassing for EA that the best-looking golf game on a console is still Sony's fabulous, cartoon-styled Everybody's Golf: World Tour.
In short, while Tiger Woods PGA Tour 11 is undoubtedly the best realistic golf game of the moment, it's not really one that players of Tiger Woods 10 or even Tiger Woods 09 should necessarily feel the need to rush out and buy. There is one caveat to this statement on the PS3 version, however; the addition of Move controls with a patch in September might turn this situation around completely and turn that version into the best golf game ever. Without having tried it, we'll just have to wait and see.
Now for the good news. The Wii version is fantastic. With last year's first MotionPlus-compatible instalment, EA finally produced a motion-controlled golf game that felt - as much as possible - like Golf. Now it's even better. A range of tweaks to the control system make the experience close to uncanny, and there's even a cool first-person view where you get a view of the club-head against the ball and can line-up your swing accordingly. It's as attractive a golf game as you're likely to see on the format, and - in terms of modes and features - it's pretty close to the "grown-up" console versions.
In fact, as a more casual, family-friendly game it outdoes them. Tiger Woods 10 already had disk golf and some different control modes to make the basic game more accessible, and now Tiger Woods throws in mini-golf, with four fantasy courses based around silly themes like racetracks, icy mountains and tropical islands. It's silly stuff, but great fun with the family, and pretty much ensures that Tiger Woods Wii has the "something for everyone" nut cracked.
If you have the choice, then, the Wii version is the Tiger to go for. It's SD, of course, but it doesn't look hugely worse than the Xbox 360 and PS3 versions, and, while serious real-life golfers will doubtless have their moans, we'd say that it's both the most authentic and the most entertaining version of the game. As we said, this might change when the PS3 Move patch arrives, but it's enough to boost the Wii version's score above the PS3 by a couple of points, and put it in award-winning territory.

A friend just turned me onto the photography of Horst Hamann yesterday, and I am completely enthralled with his Metropolis project. The images capture New York through a gritty and dark lens, which as a New Yorker I often see and feel when I am navigating the harsh streets of our city.

Check out our posts from the last week at the links below.
We moved about 8 miles from Milly, Alabama to Tabernacle Holiness Church on Saturday. I knew there was no AT&T service but I figured our Verizon WiFi could not be much worse than Millry. I figured very wrong. We have one little bar of Verizon 3G that comes and go and mostly stays away.
This is our view out the front door.
We are going to be with Pastor Larry Daugherty and his folks both services today. Some of them were in tent revival with us in Millry and we are excited to be with them for the day.
I do not know if this will post and if it does I do not know if the pictures will post with it. I guess I will just have to "smash" the Publish button and see what happens.
I hope you have a great Sunday.

I love a good summer bucket list and yours is fabulous lady. I hope you are able to grow your own herbs, we tried and got two harvest out of them and then they went kaput.

A day trip sounds divine, I really want to try one, too. Wish Boston was a closer drive! ;)
I love your list--so much so that I might just steal it and make it my own! :) All of these are perfect to make your way through the Summer months!ReplyDelete
I've been thinking about doing one of these too! Yours is so classy and fabulous pics. I especially love the grow fresh herbs. Mint and oh basil with caprese salad-yummy!!! xoReplyDelete

I love being so close to so many states that day trips are totally possible here. A picnic in the park would be so nice, and you could use your fresh produce to create the picnic meal too!ReplyDelete

Yes to all of these! We planted some basil and mint on our windowsill last week and the mint has pretty much already taken over the other plants. Need to repot that and move it elsewhere. And picnics are my favorite! We did the same thing in Italy and I still daydream about it. Grab a bottle and a sandwich, it's the best.ReplyDelete

I tried growing mint a few years ago. Everything was going great, then one day, my plant was COVERED in teeny tiny green bugs. From far away it looked like it's normal planty self. Close up, a colony of green insects. I was so freaked out. I tossed it into the woods!ReplyDelete

What kinds of Study Queries In the event you Request Your own Potential customers?
Utilizing studies to find out exactly what your own marketplace desires is actually absolutely nothing brand new. Nevertheless, have you been applying this properly? In the following paragraphs I will talk about the actual kinds of study queries which provides you with the actual solutions you are searching for.
Take into account the final period a person completed the study on the internet. Had been a person truthful? We question regardless of whether should you had been requested exactly the same query inside a somewhat various method in case your solution might be exactly the same.
The thing is the way in which the query is actually phrased might have an immediate effect on the solution all of us provide.
Being an internet marketer you want to discover the facts regarding the clients purchasing routines as well as exactly what these people are searching for. Nevertheless, in the event that all of us request the incorrect query we are able to wind up following a incorrect route with no lengthier viewing the outcomes all of us expected.
Here are a few recommendations:
Do not Consist of Particular Good examples
Do not end up being particular together with your queries. Whenever you give a particular instance a person instantly pull focus on the actual instance you've provided. Many people may simply accompany the actual instance you've provided instead of supply their very own solution.
Therefore instead of provide recommendations regarding subjects they might be experiencing depart this open up. What this means is they need to believe with regard to on their own which means you may obtain the reality.
Do not Request Exactly what They need
Occasionally what we should would like isn't actually what we should actually need! Requesting your own potential customers exactly what they need through you are able to guide a person in the backyard route! You can wind up making a variety of items after which don't have any 1 get them!
Whenever you market info products individuals purchase these kinds of items once they are having issues to resolve.
Consequently you have to request queries associated with problems as well as issues they're dealing with. They are the actual subjects which will come with an psychological draw mounted on all of them.
Discover Objectives
Make use of your own study to find out exactly what objectives your own potential customers possess within particular period structures. Discovering things that truly issue for them and also the kinds of objectives these people arranged on their own provides you with advisable regarding exactly how inspired they're.
Additionally, you will have the ability to realize exactly where they're proceeding which allows you to supply assist to allow them to make that happen objective.
Referring to objectives instead of exactly what assist they require is actually an easy method to find out exactly what assist they'll be searching for.

Small business users of cloud storage look most to features and capabilities when selecting a cloud storage provider, according to a new survey by Clutch, a B2B research firm in Washington, DC.
Over one-third of small business IT decision makers (35%) said features and capabilities primarily influenced their purchasing decision. Less than 5% said that marketing tactics like free trials or online ratings and reviews primarily influenced their decision.
PSL's Director of Engineering, Sebastian Velez Ruiz, provided expert commentary on Clutch's data. This follows his recent in-depth interview on cloud strategy for Clutch.
The survey included responses from 300 IT decision makers at U.S. small businesses that use cloud storage and have 2-500 employees.
Velez said that small businesses' emphasis on features and capabilities indicates that they are seeking out new ways to take advantage of cloud storage, as opposed to just storing data.
"[The influence of features and capabilities] is important because it's evidence that businesses are looking at cloud storage not only to store their data but also to implement new services with it," explained Velez.
"Cloud adopters some years ago used the cloud only to provide increased availability to the information or as a backup mechanism when their data center failed. Now, cloud storage is beginning to focus on capabilities," continued Velez.
Velez also explained how businesses tend to take advantage of cloud storage in two stages. First, they use the cloud simply to increase their data reliability.

"Creating the required infrastructure on your end in order to provide a reliable service is usually expensive, time-wise and cost-wise," said Velez. "With the cloud, you can leverage affordable solutions, since you have vendors that offer you data centers around the world and data replication strategies with almost no development efforts on your end."
Next, though, they will begin to use the advanced capabilities for data analysis offered by the cloud.
"The second stage of cloud storage adoption is leveraging cloud services to increase the value of your data – for instance, massively processing your information through big data techniques or connecting with machine learning services from cloud vendors in order to get new insights from your data," said Velez.
Small businesses that don't move onto the second stage may not be taking advantage of all cloud storage has to offer for their business.

Mobile Home Removal and Disposal in Poteau, OK
Where do you need Mobile Home Demolition?
America's #1 Source for Local Demolition Experts
Mobile Home
According to national averages, it generally costs roughly $3.50 per square foot to remove a mobile home. So, a 20 ft. x 40 ft. mobile home would cost around $2,800 to remove. The exact price of your mobile home will depend on a number of factors, including the size of your mobile home, where it's located, how much is inside the home, the type of roof on the mobile home, etc. If you are willing and able, you could save some money on demolition or deconstruction by doing some of the more minor, superficial work yourself. There's often a lot of recycled metal inside a mobile home, which could be worth a decent chunk of change. This could help save you money on your mobile home removal.

We have often said that Lexus has promised not to make boring cars. Whether it is succeeding is a matter for debate, but what it has struggled to do is produce really exciting cars.
We are not talking here about sedans or SUVs, but a design that gets the heart racing and when you look at it you go "wow".
Lexus got the formula right with the LF-A supercar, a sought-after model that had the performance credentials to match. We haven't driven one, but a British bloke who gets upset when you serve the wrong food and likes to go grand touring is apparently a huge fan.
The RC was a good attempt but lacked a wow factor, as well as any semblance of performance (except for the RC-F which never came to SA) but then along came this, the LC.
Wow. In Twitter style I could park that exclamation there and leave you to look at the pictures, but as a writer I feel obliged to write on.
At the model's international launch in 2016, LC chief engineer Koji Sato told us the aim was to "create a car that captures the heart and challenges the soul". It does that. The design is dramatic, with elegant curves interspersed with acute angles. It looks like a concept car that has escaped a motor show and bribed a scientist to make clones before the suits could put it back in a warehouse.
It blends old-school tourer looks, such as long bonnet and small glass area, with modern touches, like the massive Lexus grille, big wheels pushed to each corner and narrow lights. It is a great looking package.
While I am singing its praises, I have to talk about that V8 and the noise it makes. Lexus and Toyota might be the kings of hybrids, but the LC500 is about raw power in an age when some feel it should be left in the history books. There is no electrification and no turbos. Instead it is a pure, normally aspirated V8 generating 351kW and 540Nm. For the record, there is a hybrid version overseas. We drove it at the launch and, honestly, it can stay overseas.
Fortunately, we get only the V8 and aside from the power it has a soundtrack that can rival the Italians. That sound emanates from deep within the car's soul and reverberates around you as you push down on the accelerator. It is superb.
The interior is all about hand craftsmanship, but while it is great and sporty, it is far from a design classic. It is possible to have various coloured trim elements which make the interior look cool, but in basic black it all looks a little dated already. There are some superb design lines and the quality is great, but it doesn't set any benchmarks.
This brings us to the drive and here you have to appreciate exactly what the LC500 is up against. The company says that it is a rival for the outgoing BMW 650i and the Mercedes S500 coupe. Both are more luxury grand tourers. But Lexus also says the LC takes on the Jaguar F-Type and Porsche 911, both of which are true sports cars.
What the LC does really well is be the best of both worlds of urban and rural driving. In town, it has that Lexus level of comfort about it, but it falls slightly short of the BMW and Merc as far as relaxation and comfort go. However, it definitely stands out from both of them in the style stakes.
Take to the open road and it handles brilliantly. The 10-speed gearbox is a bit of a liar though, with it really only being a four-speed auto with a bunch of fake gears thrown in. Leave it in one of the sport modes and let it do its own thing and the balance of performance and grip is astonishing. It can fly over a mid-corner bump and happily let you hit the gas with barely any sign of a flinch as you surge on. Turn off the audio system and revel in the sound of the V8 and do something very few do these days — enjoy the drive.
So the LC500 is a real looker, a stunner actually. It has a fabulous V8, it handles well and you could probably drive it for days.
So you should buy one, right? Sadly, no. You will notice that I haven't come back to the Jag and the 911 and that is because the LC500 is not a sports car.
That would be ok if it were just a tourer, but both the F-Type and the 911 are sports cars that are also good at touring. They might not have the head-turning ability of the LC and you will see 10 of each of them in the same day, whereas you will be lucky to see one LC in the same year,
But they run rings around the Lexus when it comes to the driving experience and for that reason, we have to hang the LC500 on the wall and look at it admiringly.

Laurie Baker-the architect
Laurence Wilfred Baker (Laurie Baker), the famous English born architect designed the Centre's buildings . Mr Baker was responsible for pioneering low cost building technology in Kerala and owing to this innovation, the Centre economised considerably in construction costs. Consequently, for every rupee spent on buildings the Centre was able to spend Rs 5 on books. The result, one of the finest Economics Libraries in India as a whole. CDS was one of the largest public buildings designed by Mr Baker and his contribution could be seen not just in the buildings, but even in the choice of trees in the garden.
Sadly Mr Baker passed away on Sunday, the 1st of April, 2007. The beautiful campus of CDS bears eloquent testimony to his great architectural skills.
More specific details on Mr Baker's life and his numerous contributions can be found here.

What it Means to Be A Man
Category: Men's Therapy Group, Mental Health
Regardless of what school of parenting one is set to follow, a parent in today's society will encounter the same hurdles as those in previous generations, which implies that they are also at risk for the same sort of pitfalls. Even so, in an increasingly digital society marked by packed schedules, constant striving for perfection and an overabundance of "straight talk," there is some toxic and/or macho type of phrases that parents should avoid, particularly when speaking to their boys. In doing so, perhaps we can redefine what it means to be a man.
In a recent article by Fatherly, Jeremy Brown says that in an effort to raise strong boys, parents have inadvertently created damaged men. Is this based on a tendency to apply age-old stereotypes when raising boys? Have parents fallen victim to the rigid expectations and beliefs about what a boy can be or should be? Could it be that a very specific template has been created that will, in the end, cause today's boys to rebel against the natural parts of themselves?
With a mentality towards winning (at all costs), many parents believe that they are encouraging their boys to be strong leaders and driven young men. They might say something like, "You must win!" or "You need to win." Without question, this teaches boys to seek value in a prize, not an actual experience. The result is narrow-minded men with a skewed understanding of value and success. Continuously focused on outcomes, boys find it difficult to be present and find joy in life's moments. Moreover, when a male's identity and worth is tied to a "prize," he is more likely to experience emotional instability in both his personal and professional life.
Lead clinician Dr. Kate Balestrieri at Triune Therapy Group adds the following phrases as those to avoid:
- "Don't be a pussy/girl/little bitch." At the very least, this phrase produces a sort of shame about one's feelings and perpetuates a boy's need to one-up around women as they age and mature. What's more is that it eradicates a boy's natural proclivity towards expressing his feelings, as well as the ability to nurture and to be nurtured. Ultimately, boys will become paralyzed in their emotions out of a need to appear "tough" in order to be socially accepted and desired. Finally, repeated phrases such as these reinforce sexist attitudes.
- "Don't let her…" This generates the idea that boys are in control (or should be) of women, have to usurp them at all times and are weak if they compromise.
- "Dolls are for girls." While females spend considerable amounts of time exploring their natural ability to care and nurture, it is often implied (rather directly) that boys should not. Ultimately, if not allowed to engage in their instinctive capabilities as caregivers, boys experience an emotional distance between themselves and family. This produces long-term effects and "blind spots" in their parenting, which leaves the next generation hungry for emotional connection. In another sense, if a boy feels alienated emotionally, he is more likely to act out or check out, and may engage in infidelity and/or abuse of some kind.
Finally, Geoffrey Redick provides another twist on manliness and places more emphasis on learning to be kind in The True Rite Of Manhood, published in March 2018. "If you are a "manly" man," he says, "you live with existential dread that all of your abilities will leave you—strength, speed and power. None of it lasts. Eventually, you will stop winning." Redick suggests that it's best to forget the expectations created by society in its definition of manliness in order to remember greater, more sustainable truths. Perhaps this begins with the right words.

But in the art of Nicolás de Jésus, the skeletons can be powerful metaphors for the living. The skeletons dance and celebrate, taking on the qualities of living people. They act out the human comedy, or, at times they partake in the human tragedy and satirize human behavior. His meanings can be critical and provocative. He is concerned with the lives of Mexicans on both sides of the border.

Maicidio refers to the death of corn, a gift
from Mexico, through modification
One print that really strikes me is Maicidio, suggesting death to corn, one of Mexico's great gifts to the world. The United States has now changed the nature of corn, overproducing it and turning it into cattle feed or high fructose corn syrup, things it was never meant to be. Its by-products become additives in almost all processed food. With American corn now is 85% genetically modified, it's no wonder the skeletons attack and pull it apart. Let us remember this fact next Tuesday, when Californians go to the polls and vote on Proposition 37 which will require labeling for genetically-modified food (GMOs). As our industrialized US agricultural system is dominating and killing corn, people in the US become increasingly disconnected to land.
|En El Tran recalls when the artist lived in Chicago.
In many ways his prints follow in the tradition of socially and politically active artists from Mexico in first half of the twentieth century: Diego Rivera, Jose Clemente Orozco and David Alfaro Siqueiros. A full-blooded Nahua Indian from a small village in the state of Guerrero, Mexico, he is an advocate for the rights of indigenous peoples. Themes of struggle meet the themes of celebration in his work. Though he is critical of much in society, he is above all a humanist who recognizes our foibles but understands our humanity.

I've been interested in food photography for about 6 years – pretty much ever since I became a nutritionist. It started with cell phone pictures and then I bought my first and only DSLR camera. For years I just watched others or grabbed my camera and started fiddling with any and all settings – I didn't take any formal lessons or instruction. I would take hundreds of the same photograph, all on different settings. Then, I would see which one I liked and I would try to remember what happened. I hated most of them, but when I found one that I loved – it felt so good! 1 out of 300 is still 1 usable picture! Now how's THAT for a positive spin 😉
Sounds like a lot of other things in life right? Sometimes we quietly try things out on our own and we think – huh, that was fun. Let's keep learning that!
Last year I finally took an actual course (my first!) and learned about aperture – it's basically how much light comes through the lens based on shutter speed – but my brain likes to think of it more like how much blur will be in a photo. Basically, do I want the entire picture to be in focus or do I want some blur around the edges and background?
When I was in the class I remember the instructor asking "So how long has everyone had their camera?" Some said a few weeks, a few months – and then they got to me – "uhhh…a few years" I said. "And you're taking Level 1?" he said kind of judging me – I just nodded, feeling a bit embarrassed.
Seriously, how often do we judge people? Too much. Does it matter what age we are when we learn something? Or that we take an introductory course to something we've owned for years? I think what matters is that we do it, and that we try. And that we enjoy things and have fun.
I wouldn't say that I'm a photography expert, or that I am a photographer, but I definitely have an interest. You can often find me cooking and spontaneously running to grab my camera, and then continuing to cook with it draped around my neck and dangling on the side of my hip. Most of the time, my pictures are completely unplanned. Sometimes my food gets cold because after I serve myself, my eyes see something and I want to try to capture it. Now, keep in mind that half the time my food looks like absolute shit because I'm not a food stylist, and the other half the time I don't photograph it properly – but hey, it's about trying and enjoying it right? One day I'll compile all of the photos where my food looks like shit (like actual poop) and I'll call it "Looks like shit, but tastes real damn good" 😉
That's the thing – when you like doing something, does it even matter if it's done perfectly? Nope! Because you enjoy the process, it's not necessarily all about the outcome. When you get intrinsic pleasure from something, it doesn't matter much what other people think because you're doing it for you.
I also remember a time when someone saw a picture I took – I was pretty proud of it because the lighting was awesome and it was so crisp and sharp – and she said something like "where's all the pizzazz – you know, the dripping sauce, the napkin nearby, the crumbs on the plate and all the colour – this is just the meal and nothing else". I just laughed! I said "thank you – that's all I wanted to capture – I'm just happy the damn picture is in focus!" 🙂
It's all perspective. What you think "isn't that good" could be another person's huge milestone. Everyone is working on something at some point. It's not always perfect, or complete.
With my photos, all that I care about is that I capture the actual food so I have something that's bright, mostly in focus and good enough to put on my website so I can share my recipes – and occasionally I may throw in a fun stripped towel on the side or a dribble of lemon zest if I'm feeling bold and confident and have something lying around 😉
I think learning about photography has taught me that you can't judge people where they're at, sometimes people just do things for fun and not to be experts, and that you can learn anything, at anytime, no matter how long you've owned something or how long it takes to learn or how long you've been meaning to learn it. What matters is that you try and that you enjoy it.
When I first started taking pictures of food, I had 1 great shot out of maybe 300. Now, I only throw away about half of them – progress! Next step – is patiently trying out all of that "pizzazz" – a little dribble of that, a little wood cutting board here, a little zest there. I'm learning – slowly and steadily.
What's one step you can take to trying something today? You don't need to master it today, or tomorrow, or maybe never – but trying can actually be pretty fun too 🙂
Picture courtesy of the amazing photographer Felicity Murphy! I had such a fun day with her as she took pictures of me taking pictures of my food. I have to say, when I saw the shots of me with my camera in the kitchen, I thought – "Yup, that feels like me!". I'll continue to pick up my camera whenever I get a hit of inspiration, and I'll keep trying. For now – it's just a hobby that brings me pleasure and that's a-okay with me 🙂
Blast from the past – a few oldies from the archives that in the past were progress in various ways. I still treasure them, even though they aren't "the best" 🙂

Regular readers may recall a few months back, when I wrote a joint suggesting that moving First Mother-In-Law Marian Robinson into the White House was a dummy move – it would be media fodder, cause for distraction and she would have her folks up in there playing cards and the like. Beyond the usual suspects calling me a "misogynist" (the preferred insult from people unable to make a coherent counter-point), professional alarmist and attorney at law Gina McCauley thought it was appropriate to conflate my social commentary into, you know… sexual assualt. She was just one of many people that took me to task for even suggesting that in-laws are a cause for conflict or distraction, as if any woman would move thier mother-in-law in without resistance.
One hundred days on and Mrs. Robinson routinely invites friends over, sits in at presidential functions and does up DC nightlife so much that on at least one occasion, the Obamas have been forced to hire a sitter. She's all up in the Kennedy Center, in the presidential VIP, holding court. Her social life has become a media distraction of its own and no doubt a source of consternation for President Obama. Just like Eddie's girl she likes to party all the time. You know Homeboy is like, if the whole reason we have your mama in our house is to watch the kids, why is she up in the VIP, when she needs to be putting the kids to B-E-D? Mark my words: Barack is going to have to regulate that situation. STAT.
FYI, this is all coming to pass just as I predicted. I have a knack for being right about this kind of thing.

No locked elements
we have just lost a very large amount of data, since the locks have been disabled. How to reactivate them? How to recover my data?
The transition to 9.2.1 raises many concerns.
Glpi used with fusion and ocs of course.
I'm sorry but no one can tell me how to turn lock on and why it's unlocked. Thank you. Am I the only one to have this problem?
There are posts that have locks enabled and no others are the biggest part!
thanks, during the migration to 9.2.1, I reactivated the locks, they were disabled! But at first it's useless since I still have the message on some computers that have lost a lot of data on the so-called locked fields.
Why glpi tells me:
You do not use locks - View configuration to enable them
Should we go to base and force lock to YES but in which table?
after :
I am completely blocked. I just made a base update to reset the locks (complex) and content in status and type and 15 minutes after the status is overwritten .......... Message you do not use locks ..

You can't use Fusion Iventory AND OCS inventory NG simultaneously because these two plugins do the same think.
I think the problem come from this.
CentOS 6.5 - CentOS 7.x
PHP 5.6 - PHP 7.x - MySQL 5.6 - MariaDB 10.2 + APC + oOPcache
GLPI from 0.72 to dev version

Hello, these are not the same computers that have these configurations. Old computers have the ocs agent and the new fusion. I do not see why this would be in conflict? Thank you
Maybe yllen means the plugin on glpi server. If i understand it correct you can't use ocs and fusion on the same glpi server.
You can mark this threat as [resolved] in subject of your threat. (This is only available edit of the first post.) It is good for users who help others to quickly see which post is still open.
This is blocking. Stopping for ocs test. If you change the status field merge it changes again! Of course the field is locked and in the fusion lock table it is locked too! What to do ? it's the only field that is problematic .. note that has nothing to do if I unlock the status field merge the lock! Thanks

hello, I need the file that is updated by the agent and that reset the status field while the field is locked! This is blocking for us because we lose all the information of the computers (more than 4000)

After many years, I had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich recently. As I took the first bite, several memories flooded my mind – my first taste of peanut butter as a child in India; eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches during my stay in America; and the guava jelly my mother used to make in India's heartland, where I grew up.
The most remarkable is the memory of guava jelly. Guava is essentially a tropical fruit; so, I didn't see any in the United States, although, it does grow in semi-tropical America, like California and Florida. I grew up eating guava, for we had a huge guava tree in our backyard. I grew up in Bhilai, which was then a part of the state of Madhya Pradesh. The tree was more than a tree – it was a prime presence in our garden, almost a human friend as we climbed the tree, picked fruit, or swung from its branches like monkeys. The fruit was so delicious I have never tasted that variety anywhere else since then. It had few seeds, even the ripe ones; the shape was round, and the flesh flavorful. We would eat even the half-ripe ones with salt – the taste was sweet and mildly tart. What other fruit could beat it in vitamin C content?
My mother packed all the goodness of the guava in her jelly. I was too young – I hadn't developed the strong interest in food that I have today. But, I remember the distinctive taste of the jelly, a dark brownish red stored in glass jars.
As I recently ate the peanut butter and jelly sandwich, made with store-bought guava jelly, I asked my mother how she made the jelly. (She no longer makes the jelly, for she is 72 and a city-dweller far from our small-town garden we once owned.)
She first diced ripe guava and boiled it in water until soft. Then, she pressed the guava juice and pulp through a cloth or strainer. Next, she added sugar and lime juice, and reduced the juice until the jelly formed.
Back in the present, as I ate the sandwich made with store-bought Druk (Bhutanese brand) guava jelly, I imagined it was the jelly from my boyhood. I recalled the great guava tree in our backyard.
Dear reader, do you have such a memory?

My humble contribution to World Pinhole Day 2017. This shot was made on a 5″x7″ paper negative on April 30th 2017.
Wandering through my usual analog groups on the web, some time ago I saw a post about a "modern" Canon film camera and I remembered to have it. It's the Canon Eos 3000n, purchased in 2005, already in a digital era and used very little (just a couple of rolls with Russian fisheye, as you can see in this post). So I went to rummage through my boxes moving house and I … exhumed it. To make it work I had to buy two new (and expensive) CR123A batteries. The camera, however, quickly got to work fine, like it was just out of the store. The 3000n was an economic model, built with abundant plastic use, but with many useful features and more, thanks to Eos mount, I can use my Canon lenses I owned for professional use in digital. As the first film I chose to test again the Foma Retropan 320 after the unsuccessful first test souped in FX39. This time I planned to use the Ilford ILFOTEC DD-X and I have to say that the results were quite interesting ….
Yes, dear friends, it's been a year since I published the first post of this blog! And it's thanks to you that followed and helped it grow, that this experience has become day by day more enjoyable and exciting. It's nice to know to be able to contribute, albeit in small part, to the preservation and indeed, to the spread of Analogue Photography. Getting readers from all over the world, and still rising, is a very satisfying element: a sign that I'm working well, in the right direction and with credibility. A small bunch of words and opinions, but many images that speak for themselves, so that readers can always evaluate the results and decide if and how these can be useful for him. A film / developer pair? An old camera? A lens you heard about? Here, maybe, on this blog you can find something of interest to you, written and photographed by an enthusiast, just like you, and exactly in the conditions of use that anyone can experience in his real life. Thank you, once again, my friends, to support me following this blog! I will do my best to always live up to your trust.
A beautiful spring day, a friend who invites you to accompany him on a short trip to the beautiful Todi (one of the many jewels of Umbria) and the constant desire to photograph: what to ask more? And in fact, I immediately accepted the invitation and loaded my Leica M2 with a Tri-x, setting the Voigtlander VC-Meter @ box speed. As you know, in the past I had some problems with this film, when rated @ 400 Iso, but this time, I had on my side the ILFOTEC DD-X and I was sure that the outcome would have been much better.
Finally, I got a Leica M …. namely, a M2. But also to use a legendary camera, you need the right lenses. So I had to find some… just to start and got a 35mm Voigtlander Color Skopar f /2.5 (Leica M mount) and are waiting for a Leitz Elmar 90 mm f/4 with Ltm mount (M39). But in the meantime, a friend of mine lent me a "Collapsible" Leitz Summitar 5 cm f/2 Ltm mount too, a bit ruined … just to test it. While waiting for a Ltm to Leica M Mount adapter ring, I decided to test first this one, both in digital (with a Fujifilm X-T10) that on film by mounting it on my Canon 7 rangefinder.

Keeping skyscrapers visible
Now this is ingenious. The same kind of technology that makes invisibility cloaks work, sort of, can protect buildings in earthquakes:
The new theoretical cloak comprises a number of large, concentric rings made of plastic fixed to the Earth's surface. The stiffness and elasticity of the rings must be precisely controlled to ensure that any surface waves pass smoothly into the material, rather than reflecting or scattering at the material's surface.
When waves travel through the cloak they are compressed into tiny fluctuations in pressure and density that travel along the fastest path available. By tuning the cloak's properties, that path can be made to be an arc that directs surface waves away from an area inside the cloak. When the waves exit the cloak, they return to their previous, larger size.
The same way our prototype cloaking devices divert light away from the object to be cloaked. I am impressed.Comments are off for this post

Mister Doe sent this one to me, and it's one of the better examples of "in certain circumstances": the narrator is totally unable to see anyone with green eyes. Unfortunately, this included his mother, who died when he was ten.

"You are not alone"
Been having horrible nightmares this week, mostly I'm running away from people who want to hurt or kill me (usually men I don't been know).
Eventually I dreamt of /him/. He wasn't chasing me, instead he was complaining loudly about how horrible I treated him…
I woke up crying and mad (I think the first shred of fleeting anger towards my rapist). I should be the one complaining loudly! But I can't! Here I am, suffering from anxiety and stress-induced chronic pain every fucking day, and he prob doesn't even know he raped me.
How sick is that?
When can I scream? When can I find my lost voice? Just telling an additional three people about the rape feels very scary.
I don't want to burden people with such heavy emotions and vulgar images, but I honestly don't even know who wants to help me.
I'm reaching out to old friends, nostalgia and love soothes the anxiety. I find comfort with people I feel safe around, but maybe that's too selfish of me? I mean, everyone has their own life, their own stress, their own problems- I begin to feel selfish for dumping my heaviest problems on them too.
I know rape is not an easy thing to talk about. There isn't much a person can say or do to make either of us feel better about it; after all, nothing changes the past. But I've begun to realize when I surround myself with people who can make me laugh and forget about the pain, I finally feel free. I guess that means I can only feel peace when I'm not alone.
It's sad.
Monday is the start of therapy. I'm not sure where this journey will lead or how long the healing process will take me, but I am committed to facing these fears and facing myself.

The special issues of the journals LIDIL (2015) and LEND (2016), edited by Filippo Fonio and Monica Masperi (Université Grenoble Alpes), give a welcome contribution to the field of foreign language learning through drama and the arts. These two volumes are the result of a common research project, carried out by the co-editors since 2012, within the organisation in Grenoble of the conference Les pratiques théâtrales dans l'apprentissage des langues: institutionnalisation et enjeux de formation au niveau européen. As the co-editors assert in both introductions, the main aim of the research project was to put together various experiences and reflections, originating from different academic contexts and countries, in order to answer to the following crucial questions concerning foreign language teaching and learning through drama- and arts-based approaches (LIDIL 6-7, LEND 9):
a) What role can the performing arts and drama-based activities play in secondary school and academic courses?
b) In what forms may they be introduced and taught?
c) How can such practices be integrated into courses and curricula for foreign language students?
d) What connection can be established between these practices and CEFR's action-oriented approach?
e) How can we overcome the suspicion often raised in certain institutional contexts of these didactic methods? And by what means would it be possible to manage recurrent problems in their application, such as lack of resources, logistical constraints, pupil numbers, reconfiguration of teacher-learner relationship, confusion about assessment, risk of marginalisation of the aesthetic and literary text in learning supports?
In responding to those questions, particular attention has been paid to reports of experiences from French-speaking contexts (France of course, but also Quebec that is very well represented). Nevertheless, we can also find essays from other countries (Italy, Colombia), languages and cultures (German, Arabic, English). The target of the cases proposed to the reader is broad and spans from primary to secondary school courses up to academic curricula.
The first issue (LEND) is divided into two sections: the first contains articles that focus on certain theoretical issues, while the second is principally devoted to reports of practical experiences in the field.
The reflection on the role of such approaches in educational institutions is developed, first of all, in terms of texts chosen by the teachers. This is what the author Rollinat-Levasseur does in her contribution on the FLE dramatic repertories around the world in both scholarly and academic circles. As the author highlights, the choice of a text for its staging within a theatre-oriented situation is not only a linguistic matter, but it tells us something about the representation of the target language that the teachers have and transmit to their students. Moreover, other variables, such as the audience's expected reactions and participation, also have to be taken into account.
In both sections a great emphasis is given by most authors to the role of the assessment in L2 courses, which integrate the performing arts or drama activities. This topic often goes hand in hand with the need to adapt and revise the scale of CEFR descriptors to such pedagogical approaches. In this respect, questions often arise concerning what type of competencies should be assessed and how assessment could take the CEFR grid into account. On the basis of Jouvet's works and the classical rhetorical notion of delivery, Fabienne Dumontet proposes, for example, to rethink the assessment criteria in the light of the concept of mediation. As a competence involved at different levels – interlinguistic, transmodal – in both drama-based activities and the CEFR approach, mediation would well represent a common ground for redescribing categories, such as proficiency or other language skills. From a complementary perspective, Berdal-Masuy and Renard tend, instead, to reform the CEFR descriptors taking into account the importance of body as an effective communication tool in the target language. An updated CEFR grid is thus proposed that shows how assessment can be "embodied" when learners are holistically considered as "beings".
This redefinition of CEFR descriptors obviously implies a comparison between learners and actors, on a theoretical level. Ollivier develops this reflection at the beginning of the issue by tending towards Bakhtin's concept of dialogism, Benveniste's theory of énonciation and Stanislavski's and Strasberg's definitions of actor. More specifically, he builds a didactical model in which the insertion of theatre-tasks enables to combine linguistic, communicative and cultural objectives, as well as to rethink on the role of learners, on the basis of a concept of the teaching-learning process as a co-construction. Seeking for new parameters in this matter can also mean to directly involve students in their own assessment, which is what Cocton points out regarding the FLE classes with a drama-based approach. If in such courses the traditional assessment often proves to be inadequate, a solution – the author suggests – could be to involve learners and encourage a reflective approach to emerge in them. Such contributions show to what extent a serious work on CEFR descriptors is needed in order to place drama- and arts-based foreign language learning within a more stable institutional framework. In this sense, assessment problems are crucial and can't be avoided beforehand.
This issue brings us to another important focus of this volume, i.e. the role and place of drama- and arts-based approaches in the academic context or secondary school. A stunning example of how these practices may find an institutional recognition is given by Gray, whose contribution is focused on the use of drama in the Masters programme for students preparing for the CAPES (one of the examinations that are compulsory to become a teacher in France). In particular, Gray convincingly demonstrates that an adapted use of certain drama-techniques in oral expression classes can successfully address some of the requirements for the CAPES oral exams, such as awareness of oral communication, appropriate use of the voice and other extra-linguistic factors. Always with reference to the role that drama and arts may have in teachers' training is the contribution by Dubois and Tremblay, which describes an inventory of the situation of the French teaching through drama in Canadian classrooms.
The second issue (LIDIL) is structured into two parts (contributi and esperienze) and collects 11 articles revolving around various applications of drama and the performing practices. Assessment issues are also central in this second volume and are tackled by different points of view and strategies in many of the contributions (Hinglais and Pouyé; Potapushka-Delfosse; Duchêne), with a particular emphasis on concepts like learners' awareness and the self-assessment process.
This volume is also based on the distinction between drama and theatre approaches. In the drama category an example can be given by the article by Hinglais and Pouyé, who discuss about the benefits of using artistic mediation in the specific context of the Municipal Courses of the City of Paris, with a significant intercultural outcome. Another example can be given by the essay by Capron-Capuozzo, who tells about her experience in a pilot project for students of a professional high-school in Valle d'Aosta, where the application of drama techniques was aimed at representing the experience of difference and strangeness in the context of a debate on immigration and on the development of transversal skills, such as empathy and creativity. Always with reference to the drama approach, the contribution by Privas-Breauté should also be highlighted as it clearly demonstrates how drama-based activities can be successfully introduced and applied also in apparently distant sectors, such as professionalising courses for students in English Business Management: an important step forward in an unexplored territory that shows how the performing arts certainly have an high potential also beyond their 'traditional' application in arts or literature courses.
Other contributions, instead, tend more towards a theatre-oriented approach (Duchêne) or propose an accurate combination of both approaches (Foisil). Among these, of particular interest is the paper by Nanni and Al-Addous concerning a theatre workshop on the learning of Arabic, which was staged at the School of Translation and Interpreting of Forlì. Community theatre experiences like this one clearly show that staging an L2 or bilingual production (in this case, Arabic and Italian), in fact, goes beyond mere linguistic objectives and may represent an extraordinary means to explore history and cultural themes of the target language.
Finally, a special mention should be given to two other main interests of this second volume: first, the attention paid to body and holistic or embodied learning, as is the case of Tummillo's paper, which is focused on the role of gesture in foreign language learning, not only by a semiotic point of view, but also as an instrument to help memorisation among students. Or the contribution by Potapushkina-Delfosse, which explores the place that the body can have in teaching English for theatre in elementary school courses. Second, the importance that many teachers attribute to multimedia translation or multimediality in their experiences. Terzuoli shows, for example, how certain drama-techniques, such as improvisation or sketches, can be very helpful to 'translate' and make literary texts in the target language more approachable to students. De Serres's contribution proposes, instead, to use games as pedagogical tool and analyses the experience of creating the board game Coup de théâtre to help students to learn French idiomatic expressions. Furthermore, drama and transmodalisation are also at the core of the contribution by Amireault, Silva Ochoa, Lacelle and Trottet concerning the concept and realisation of a didactical platform for the dramatisation of Quebec's folk tales (TCLQ) in the French foreign or second language class.
The two volumes certainly represent a major contribution to the field of drama- and arts-based practices in foreign language learning for the variety of approaches and perspectives faced. They fill the bibliographical gap that concerns the French-speaking context and, at the same time, offer reports of contributions and experiences that are perfectly transposable also to other languages and contexts. Moreover, this double work has the great merit to develop a serious reflection concerning the assessment criteria and redefinition of CEFR's descriptors, which is unprecedented, to the best of my knowledge. In this respect, I believe these special issues constitute not only a first important step for a better integration of drama, theatre and the performing arts within scholarly or academic courses, but also a great chance for renewing the debate concerning assessment beyond the boundaries of foreign language, literature or theatre courses.

Online dating has become a popular way of meeting someone and starting a relationship. It offers the ability to meet people online after viewing information about them on a dating website. Online dating does not offer immediate face-t- face dynamics and cues, and therefore it is important to follow some rules in order to ensure that your online dating experience is a positive one.
Fill out the profile and answer questions honestly. If you portray yourself accurately, you are more likely to meet a compatible match. Do not lie about things like career, age, appearance or marital status.
Be honest and realistic about the type of person you would like to meet. If certain beliefs or interests are important to you, make note of those in your profile. Be optimistic and positive. Let your personality be reflected in your posting.
Include photographs. The photos should be up to date and accurately reflect you and your personality. Don't post a photo of yourself taken more than nine months ago. Unless you ar a glamour girl, don't post only photos of yourself in full makeup and evening gowns. If you hate outdoor sports, don't include a photo of yourself on skis.
Be patient while looking for matches. People join online dating services every day. If your perfect match is not on the site on day one, he may be there on day two or three. Initiate communication with multiple people. They are posting on the site because they want to meet someone. Give it a chance.
Remember that you are dealing with people and not just a photograph or words on the screen. Be respectful and upfront. If you are not interested in someone, let them know. Do not just disappear if you feel the person is not a good match for you. Be polite. Do not use profanity or start arguments.
Do not become an online date only. Once a rapport has been established and an interest formed, make plans to meet in person.
Use common sense and be safe. The virtual world can be a haven for dishonest people. Get to know your match online prior to making plans to meet in person. Talk on the phone. Provide your cell phone number and not your home number. When you make plans for the first date, let friends know where you are going. Meet in a public place. Provide your own transportation.
Most importantly, have fun. Online dating is a great opportunity to meet compatible people and hopefully start a meaningful relationship.

Love this post, Autumn is my favorite . And as a knitter I want to take all the fall colors and make a fabulous yarn out of them. Love ths book cant wait for the next one!ReplyDelete
Isn't that color wheel of natural colors scrumptious, Shelley? Thanks for you kind words.ReplyDelete
Scrumptious, indeed. So much yarn, so little time!ReplyDelete
You're right, Opal. Between settling into my new life in Blue Plum, learning the ropes (threads?) of running the Weaver's Cat, and learning to live with a ghost, when will I have time to knit? Although, really, knitting should be part of my work day, don't you think? Hey, thanks for stopping by, Opal. You've solved a problem for me!ReplyDelete
Love autumn... and I don't mind muted colors... my favorites are taupe and sage green!ReplyDelete
Nice, Victoria! Granny loved all shades of blue, but especially all shades of indigo.ReplyDelete
