In the midst of all the Fall Festival goodies of pumpkins, caramel apples and kettle corn we can't nor should we forget the glorious COOKIE! The reason for National Cookie Month is to help you learn, enjoy and enhance your cookie knowledge… and you thought a cookie is a cookie.
Since it is National Cookie Month, I decided to take a small office poll of coworkers' favorite cookie…well no one agreed one the same cookie. I guess we will just enjoy a variety of cookies from date cookies to peanut butter with the closes agreeing point being chocolate chips for this month!
Chocolate chips is the number one addition to in cookies- Americans love the Toll House or Chocolate Chip cookie- soft, crunchy, warm or frozen- we have an obsession! The next cookie contender is the Oreo!
Travel down a grocery aisle, walk through the mall or on a chilly day take a deep whiff of the neighborhood and someone is bound to be shopping, baking or buying cookies! Those golden little cakes are just right for fingers to grasp, the perfect diameter for dunking in a glass! Yes, a glass of ice cold milk! It is really hard to enjoy a cookie (your favorite) and not grab for a glass and reach in the fridge! Whether you are a dunker or a dipper; a sipper or a guzzler, milk is the perfect companion for cookies. Go ahead… get your favorite cookie, grab a glass of milk and enjoy a great snack while you are providing your body with a powerhouse of nutrition. Cookie month is 31 days long… that would be 31 reasons to enjoy an extra glass of milk daily!

In 2003, Peter started Mobile Subscriber Experiences (MSX) Inc to create the next generation user interfaces for Feature Phones.
This was 5 years before the smartphone revolution (iPhone & Android), when flip phones were the popular form factor, based on proprietary real-time operating systems (RTOS) using entry-level ARM-7 processors. However the industry wanted to provide consumers flexible user experiences with the ability to download custom services using designer tools. Hence creating the MSX Platform.
Initially MSX created complete custom phone designs, like an MVNO phone for Motorola and a prototype phone for Portalplayer. At the time, Portalplayer was the main chipset vendor for Apple.
As the phone hardware evolved, MSX focussed on the software platform which enabled OEMs & Operators to quickly change user experience over the air (OTA). MSX provided next generation experiences for Verizon, Sprint and at&t.
Here are some examples of user experiences that were created using the MSX Platform: xPhone Prototype and Gaxoo feature phone MVNO
MSX was acquired by Cellmania in 2008, which was acquired a year later by RIM Blackberry

Robin Williams on President Bush: "He's not a nice man"
Leah Garchik quotes Robin Williams on President Bush in today's SF Chronicle: "He's not a nice man. He knows what he's doing, and he's surrounded by other men who know what they are doing. Wake up. Look at the newspaper and read."
Robin Williams is a funny man and an intelligent man. You can't do the kind of comedy he does without being extremely bright. A sense of humor itself seems to be a form of intelligence. But his notion that President Bush is doing wrong and knows that he's doing wrong is completely wrongheaded. It seems clear to me that Bush thinks he's doing the right thing in Iraq, and ditto for his domestic policies. This may seem astonishing to San Francisco progressives, but surely it's true. What do they imagine his "real" motives are? I've had this same discussion with some of my progressive friends, and they too insist that the President is not only wrong, but he must know he's wrong. Progressives who agree with Williams on this are simply out of touch with reality. There is human activity in the world that is simply evil, but my observation is that, however misguided, almost everyone is sincere. If you can't concede that your political opponents are sincere in their beliefs and actions, you are essentially dehumanizing them: they are simply Evil and no longer part of a civil dialogue. Just as important, you tend to then indulge in a self-righteousness that corrodes your own political sensibilities. Something like this psychological process seems to underly a lot of political and religious fanaticism. Progressives need to understand that they aren't immune to this sort of thing.

Warner Bros/Hasbro Teaming Up For New Dungeons & Dragons Movie
Warner Bros/Hasbro Teaming Up For New Dungeons & Dragons Movie
Warner Bros and Hasbro are rolling the dice and taking a chance on a new Dungeons & Dragons film.
Up until recently, Hollywood has had a pretty terrible habit of taking things that geeks love and transforming them into cinematic abominations so terrible they're hardly recognizable. Case in point, the 2000 film adaptation of Dungeons & Dragons. Filled to the brim with terrible effects and even worse acting, it was panned by filmgoers, critics and D&D fans alike. And as if that wasn't bad enough, it would be followed by a pair of sequels that, by many accounts, were even more wretched than the first.
If you think that'd be enough to teach the film industry to leave Dungeons & Dragons alone, you'd be wrong. In a joint announcement earlier today Hasbro's Allspark Pictures, in cooperation with Warner Bros Pictures and Sweetpea Entertainment, confirmed that they intend to move forward with plans to make a new feature film based off of the beloved role-playing game. Speaking about the movie, Warner Bros' Greg Silverman expressed excitement over the possibilities a new D&D movie series cold offer. "This is far and away the most well-known brand in fantasy, which is the genre that drives the most passionate film followings," he said. "D&D has endless creative possibilities, giving our filmmakers immense opportunities to delight and thrill both fans and moviegoers new to the property."
Dungeons & Dragons' owners at Hasbro expressed similar enthusiasm for the new movie. "This is such an enormous opportunity to bring the rich fantasy setting of the Forgotten Realms to life and, together with the creative powerhouse of Warner Bros use movies to tell the stories that have enchanted passionate D&D fans for decades," said Stephen Davis, Habsro's Executive Vide President and Chief Content Officer. "D&D is the role-playing game that started it all and now we have the opportunity to ignite a franchise for its legions of avid fans in a way never done before."
All of this comes, of course, following the resolution of a long running dispute between Dungeons & Dragon's owners at Hasbro and Sweetpea Entertainment over the franchise's film rights. Back in 2013, Warner Bros acquired Sweetpea hoping to take advantage of its possession of the film rights to produce a new D&D movie. Hasbro, alleging that Sweetpea had let those rights expire, moved to stop the film's production. Today's announcement signals the end of Hasbro's lawsuit following negotiations that we can only assume ended in a fashion that was agreeable to all of the involved parties.
No release date has been announced for the new movie, but Warner Bros has confirmed that it has a finished script penned by screenwriter David Leslie Johnson and will also overseen by producer Roy Lee (How to Train Your Dragon along with executives from Hasbro. Here's hoping the end product doesn't make us want to gouge our eyes out.

*rolls Will save*
*critical failure*
I'm genuinely looking forward to this.
Haven't two former contributors to this site covered the movies in this franchise that already exist?
Oh please say they're getting Jeremy Irons back! Oh please oh please oh please say he's coming back!
This is being made, and for some reason I can't think about anything other then wanting them to just make a Transformers, G.I. Joe and Battleship crossover movie.
Unless it has Jeremy Irons and Bruce Paine, I don't see the point of it.
Note that the guy who directed the horrorfying abomination that was the 2000 film is one of the producers. Hopefully only in a "shut the fuck up and sit in a fucking corner" kind of way, due to him owning the rights for a while, but still.
This will almost surely suck.
Personally, I am hoping for a live action remake of the old animated t.v series.
Hey, it's a step up.
If anything good came of that movie, it was the IP being turned over to SyFy who made a surprisingly good third movie.
I think it means to say "could offer," not "cold offer."
Fortunately, I rolled a 20.
And the prior movies gave me a situational bonus.
I mean, I'll wait and see what it looks like and how it is received, maybe even watch it if it sounds like it's not a horrific abomination.
Unless the big bad is a horrific abomination.
There was a third one? How did I miss this?
Hey guys look a D&D themed rollercoaster, we should ride that one!
Maybe the movie will focus on the episode where the kids met a Nazi pilot, who eventually helps them save the day.
Just watched this; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwXH1c--BzQ
It explains a lot about the original movie.
Your'e not wrong there. Yeah it was low budget, the acting wasn't great and most of the creatures looked as if the person who designed them had never opened a Monster Manual. However, it did kinda have the feel of a game of D&D, the quest, the party, the loot. Plus the party in the film did what my chaotic evil character did on a number of occasions (much to the chagrin of our DM) and murder an entire village basically for shits and giggles.
With superhero movies ruling the box office and Peter Jackson showing how good fantasy films can be (The Lord of the Rings, mostly--The Hobbit was tolerable) I can see someone producing a good D&D movie.
How to Train Your Dragon is a surprisingly good movie. I just watched HtTYD 2 with my nephew and was surprised that the sequel was good, too. So even if the producer for HtTYD was responsible for that horrible 2000 D&D movie he's clearly matured as a creator.
He couldn't have gotten much worse, after all. ^_^
The HTTYD producer is not the director of the 2000 D&D film; this appears to have multiple producers.
Like many SyFy Channel movies, they get shown once and then never again, unless it was amazingly popular.
I think it has potential. From what I've heard, it's not a D&D movie, it's a Forgotten Realms movie, which means there is actually a decent world they can build off. You know WotC has been looking for a way to get Drizzt to the screen for a long time now, and an adaptation of the Crystal Shard books could be really good (if the internet doesn't go nuts about a group of baby-sacrificing spider-worshippers with painted black skin... that could be a problem).
I wonder how long it'll be before Good Bad puts that up here. Also, any tabletop gamers will get a kick out of this review/mockery of the movie, complete with a critique that shows how how the whole movie is an allegory for the shift from 3.5 to 4e.
What was the name? Is there any like DVD release at all?
Part of the problem is I stopped paying attention to SyFy when they started phasing out the shows I cared about. It's not a boycott or a protest, but nothing was grabbing me back. Once Stargate, Eureka, and Warehouse 13 were all gone, there was...nothing. I mean, maybe there were good shows, but nothing that really caught my eye.
Dungeons and Dragons 3: The Book of Vile Darkness
There is a DVD and BluRay release as well. I've seen it pretty cheap at conventions.
This is all well and good, but I'm more hoping they make the long-awaited sequel to Krull.
Fun fact: the makers of Krull had tried to license the name Dungeons & Dragons for their movie but failed, obviously.

The Spectra have found Thundera and plan to harvest it's Thundrillium. G-Force must team up with the Thundercats before the planet is killed, reduced to wasteland, and before the fracture in space closes stranding G-Force on Thundera forever.
This crossover is pretty feasible. I could see the Spectra finding Thundera, harvest their resources, and enslave the populace as it does so many other worlds. I would have thought the mutants would have been too fearful of Mumm-ra to risk doing what they did, but oh well.
I'm not surprised I feel like I'm reading some sort of doujin. Being a crossover of Battle of the Planets and Thundercats, it's hard not too, despite it coming from a respected publisher. It still puts me off a bit and makes me hard to take it seriously.
Still, it was a good crossover and story and I'm glad it was a one-off. I wouldn't have invested in this, otherwise.

If you're ever filming a friend hit a jump for the first time, and he overshoots the jump by 30 feet, mid-nosedive, headed for an immediate ambulance ride, TEAM ROBOT has a friendly reminder for you:
Hold that phone or camera steady and keep filming. Please. You might feel pangs of guilt and a sense of responsibility, but in this moment you have a higher calling than even your sacred bond of friendship: millions of people the world over want to see a complete clip of your friend eating shit, and you owe them that. I want to see your friend eating shit. Later you'll want to see your friend eating shit. Provided he doesn't die on impact*, your friend will definitely want to see an uninterrupted, unshaky video of him eating shit. Don't blow it.
It's tough, but you have a duty here. You need to put on your big boy pants, hold the camera steady, and stand firm like the stoic, emotionless documentarian we need you to be.
*or on the ambulance ride, or from complications in the hospital, or after a multiyear coma like Steven Seagal in Hard to Kill, or any other sort of crash-related death that would prevent him from watching a cell phone video of them eating shit before going up to the Jerry Hall of Fame in the sky.

Did you know that dogs can get sun burned? Canine sun burns can be just as painful and damaging as sun burns experienced by us humans. So, does your dog need natural sunscreen and sun protection? A simple homemade sun protection program offers the best protection against sunburn.
Dogs that are most at risk for sun burn are…
- Dogs with short hair
- Dog with little or no hair
- Dogs that spend a lot of time in or on the water (in boats)
But even a dog with a thick coat of fur can end-up with a sun-burned nose.
A dog's ears, nose and underside are most at-risk for sunburn.
Your dog's diet and genetics can also effect susceptibility to sun burn. Just like people, some dogs are more sensitive to the damaging effects of the sun's UVA rays. A poor diet can also have a negative impact on a dog's natural defense to resist sunburn.
Most commercial made-for-pet sunscreens contain a variety of health-damaging toxic and carcinogenic ingredients. Some of these ingredients also block the skin's ability to absorb UVB rays. Your dog needs to absorb the UVB to keep his/her vitamin D levels up. For more information regarding ingredients to avoid in commercial sun protection products go here.
So what's the best plan of action to protect your dog from the damaging effects of the sun's UVA rays?
The best all-around protection is a holistic approach that works on the inside and the outside by supporting the body's natural mechanisms for sun protection…
1.0 Diet – Enable The Body's Natural Sun Screen
Support your dog's natural ability to withstand the sun by adding some lycopene rich foods to his / her daily diet. Lycopene is a very powerful phytonutrient and antioxidant that occurs naturally in fruits and vegetables. Lycopene, a member of the carotenoid family is a red pigment that gives some fruits and vegetables their red colour. In addition to acting as the skins natural sunscreen, lycopene is important in disease prevention as it helps reduce the risk of cancer, cardiovascular disease and macular degeneration.
After ingestion lycopene enters the lymphatic system, then moves on to organs such as the adrenal glands, colon and liver. The skin only absorbs a small part of the ingested lycopene. The bioavailability of dietary lycopene is increased when the lycopene-containing food is ingested with a good-source fat such as organic…
- Coconut oil
- Other organic healthy plant-based oils:
- Or a fish oil made from 100% deep-sea wild-caught fish, for example:
Make sure you follow the advice provided here when adding fruits and vegetables to your dog's diet. Keep in mind that a dog's species appropriate diet is 56% to 60% protein, 25% to 30% fat and 11% to 14% appropriate carbohydrates – including appropriate fruits and vegetables.
The following are safe, dog-friendly fruits and veggies that are high in lycopene…
- Apricots (pit removed)
- Asparagus
- Carrots
- Cabbage – specifically purple cabbage, not green cabbage
- Grapefruit (the flesh of the grapefruit only)
- Goji Berries (wolf berries)
- Guavas (pit removed)
- Tomatoes (bioavailable lycopene in tomatoes is increased when the tomatoes are cooked)
- Mango (pit removed)
- Papaya (seeds removed)
- Parsley
- Peppers – sweet, red
- Rose hips
- Watermelon (seedless)
If you want to maximize the lycopene add one of the healthy fats (noted above) or combine with a serving (teaspoon to tablespoon) of finely ground organic almonds, peanuts, sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds.
2.0 Topical Protection
2.1 All-Natural Simple, Safe Oils
Option One, use natural oils that offer protection targeted to screen out most of the sun's harmful UVA rays for relatively reasonable periods of time (not all day exposure) without the serious side effects of many commercial sunscreens. Natural oils also nourish the skin while allowing UVB rays through – thereby supporting the production of vitamin D. And one more advantage – unlike the commercial chemical-based sunscreens, if your dog licks his / her skin or fur the natural oils are health promoting.
Carrot Seed Oil
This oil has a very high rating for sun protection – said to be between "30" and "38" SPF. Carrot seed oil is also packed with vitamins and antioxidants including carotene and vitamin A. This oil is of particular therapeutic value for dogs with skin issues. The only caution – carrot seed oil can have an orange tinge – for dogs with white or light fur and skin temporary color transfer may be experienced while the oil is present.
Red Raspberry Oil
Red raspberry oil has an excellent SPF rating – estimated at 30 to 50 SPF. This oil is also rich in vitamin E making it a good choice for dogs that are prone to skin issues. Vitamin E is also a natural preservative – this oil is naturally resistant to rancidity. Red raspberry oil also has excellent anti-inflammatory properties due to its high content of vitamin A and alpha linolenic acid.
Wheat Germ Oil
Wheat germ oil is lower on the SPF range but is still a good alternative also offering excellent levels for vitamin E making it a great choice for dogs already suffering from dry skin, irritated or inflamed skin.
2.2 Essential Oil Sunscreen
Option Two, you can make your own essential oil sunscreen – some essential oils have excellent sun-blocking properties and are also natural anti-inflammatories.
To make your own essential oil sunscreen you will need an organic carrier oil and a high quality therapeutic grade organic essential oil.
You can choose either:
- Lavender Essential Oil, or
- Roman Chamomile Essential Oil
For a carrier oil you can choose one of the following oils (preferably organic):
- Coconut oil
- Jojoba oil
- Sesame Oil
- Wheat Germ Oil
- Add 5 to 10 drops of essential oil for every ounce of carrier oil
- Thoroughly mix the carrier oil with the essential oil
- Apply sparingly
- Avoid getting the mixture in your dog's eyes
2.3 Cautions
- Don't use essential oil sun-screen on puppies that are younger than 8 weeks of age.
- Do not use aromatherapy or perfume essential oils as they are produced by distillation with solvents that are toxic to dog

Summary: As cyber security grows, Virtual Assistants help protect consumers
Top companies in the security software industry are leveraging Virtual Assistants to help protect users from various scams, while diverting thousands of customers away from the call center.
The wide spread adoption of mobile, social, and E-commerce has businesses and consumers more worried than ever about cybersecurity and privacy. Major security breaches have caused distrust (Sony, Target, JP Morgan Chase), and Internet scams remain an easy way to steal account data and personal information (IRS impostors, social media scams, email viruses). Every year, cyber-attacks are increasing in volume, financial loss, and sophistication. Gartner sees an upward trend, estimating that the "global cybersecurity market will grow from $67 billion in 2013 to $93 billion in 2017" (TechCrunch).

Summary: Report: Intelligent Virtual Assistant Market (By Technology - Text-to-Speech, Speech Recognition; By End User)
Intelligent virtual assistant acts as the primary interface between digital data and customers. This software agent performs tasks based on the input provided and by accessing the information online on various sources. Intelligent virtual assistant technology incorporates the combination of a user interface, mobile device and mobile application. The ability to organize and maintain information is one of the key characteristic of intelligent virtual assistant. At present, most websites place burden on end users to find answers to their queries. If end users are not able to find relevant information, they usually abandon the search and contact live customer service representatives. Companies need cost effective ways to effectively and efficiently respond to customer needs. Hence, most companies are turning to interactive online channels such as intelligent virtual assistants and web chats.
Key factors driving the global intelligent virtual assistant market include increasing adoption in large enterprises in order to replace traditional methods of customer engagement and innovation in the field of speech recognition technology in smartphones. Further, small and medium enterprises are anticipated to embrace intelligent virtual assistants since the cost of these software is anticipated to reduce on account of increasing competition. Moreover, with rising popularity of speech recognition applications in smartphones, the intelligent virtual assistant market is expected to witness significantly high growth in the near future. Furthermore, expanding applications of intelligent virtual assistants across end-use sectors such as healthcare, e-commerce and banking offer potential opportunities for growth in near future.

I simply love your blog! What a great spot for inspiration!
I am your newest follower! :-)
I just started up a new blog called Color Issue all about color inspiration...come on over and follow me!
I love all three but the last one gets my vote as it has my favourite dining table and chairs.
i'd go with the wooden table. it makes everything looks rustic and charming. and food always looks good against wood.ReplyDelete
I am loving table two...and table three. Do I have to pick? Great styling. xoReplyDelete
It is a tough choice but I go for the first table top because I love the yellow hue of the chairs.
Have a lovely day, Will!
Greetings from Paris!
Love the rugs. I really want a rug for my living room to make an impact, this has just provided further inspiration!ReplyDelete
I do like that yellow charis - they're fantastic, so energetic!ReplyDelete
i love those bright yellow chairs in the first kitchen curation; the structure remind me a bit of my own dining set, curved backs, but the color is incredible. yellow happens to match my living area perfectly, so, naturally, i am now lusting.
Thats so hard! I love the yellow chairs in table1 but no2 has to be top!x
I really love table number two. The wood looks gorgeous.
Great blog :-)
I love table no.2! Love the light fixture and the contrast between the blues and reds are fantastic. Totally right up my alley! I also like the yellow chairs in table no.1!
Oh yes! It looks like they are copying your "style"! All very lovely. And I must say that there are many similarities between design in Stockholm in and London. Same with fashion. Friendly, simple, edgy modern!
Hugs to you Mr. Bright.
I love the blue and orange!
All around a more cosy look for the fall.
I love the blue and orange combination! Love your blog! Great content.ReplyDelete
Number two, also. I'll probably have a similar look in my new house in a few months. I already have the table, a bit more rustic done with reclaimed wood and for now, I want the same chairs. I really like what's on tabletop and the rug they used.ReplyDelete
You will make me fall in love with colours some day ;)ReplyDelete
Oh jeez, I would kill for that set of yellow thonet bentwoods...dream chairs!ReplyDelete
Love Love Love
went passed yesterday and indeed it looks truly scrumy
I need to go here! Like the round table! Love how the blue wall sets off those blue opaque apples!!
Rachie xo
Love the yellow chairs, but that hanging lamp of the second table is to die for! Plus the deep blue wall color really sets it off perfectly!ReplyDelete
i have been a follower of your blog ever since i read about it in a home and lifestyle magazine here in singapore. every post is a festivity of color and design.
i particularly like the freshness of the yellow chairs here. i am still to put together a proper dining table for my place and i have earmarked this in my favorite posts by you!
Thank you for leaving a comment - each one makes my day!
Note: only a member of this blog may post a comment.

Who Is The 'Donald Trump Of The Philippines'?
Outspoken and outlandish Philippine mayor Rodrigo Duterte just won the presidential election. So who is he and why is he so controversial?
Rodrigo Duterte, the incoming president of the Philippines, is infamous for his controversial rhetoric and has frequently been compared to U.S. presidential candidate Donald Trump.
So who is Rodrigo Duterte?
As Jules Suzdaltsev explains in today's Seeker Daily dispatch, Duterte -- like Trump -- is a deeply polarizing public figure. On May 9, Duterte won the presidential election with an estimated 39% of the vote. His two main opponents came in at roughly 23 percent and 21 percent, respectively.
The election numbers reflect the country's ambivalence toward their new leader. Like Trump, Duterte is a populist political figure known for outrageous public statements.
Most worrying, according to his detractors, is Duterte's alarming zero-tolerance policies against criminals. As mayor of Davao City, where he served for 22 years, Duterte was known to patrol the streets himself on a Harley Davidson, brandishing a .38 caliber handgun.
The mayor openly tolerated and even encouraged extrajudicial death squads who targeted alleged criminals. He's asserted publicly that those caught committing crimes are legitimate targets for assassination. He even pledged to kill thousands of criminals himself, if elected. Duterte's hard-line stance on crime has earned him the nickname The Punisher.
Why Donald Trump's Ego Will Always Come First
Crime rates in Davao City plummeted under his watch, but human rights advocates have roundly criticized his methods. His supporters, however, contend that the Philippines justice system is incapable of dealing with the nation's crime epidemic.
Duterte's controversial remarks aren't just limited to criminals. During a visit by Pope Francis, Duterte called the Pope a "son of a whore." During a campaign event, Duterte joked – if that's the term – about raping a murdered Australian female missionary. He later apologized for both remarks.
His misogynistic statements have women's rights advocates worried, in particular. The 71-year- old lawyer is a self-described womanizer and has said he couldn't live without Viagra.
On the other hand, Duterte has supported initiatives upholding women's civil rights and, also like Trump, is relatively progressive on social issues. For instance, he openly supports LGBT rights.
The success of Duterte and Trump suggests that -- even paired with dubious policy platforms -- aggressive rhetoric pays political dividends in election season.

- Yin is feminine, dark, circular and temporal.
- Yang is masculine, light, linear and spatial.
- Space (linear) and Equivalent Space (rotational)
- Time (linear) and Equivalent Time (rotational)
Equivalent space would be "equivalent yang", but equivalent is yin, so equivalent space ends up yin-yang.
Equivalent time would be "equivalent yin", making it "yang-yin."
So that would give me:
- Space: yang
- Time: yin
- Equivalent space: yin-yang
- Equivalent time: yin-yin
Is this too confusing? (It is more generally descriptive of the function, if you understand the symbols behind it. But English is not a gendered language, so the concepts of yin and yang tend to be a bit of a mystery to native English speakers to begin with.)

Everybody desires to have a car of their own. The necessity of having a car is not a lesser known fact. These days cars play a vital role in everyone's life. On average, every household in Australia has 1.9 cars in their residence, which is quite a figure. According to US publisher Ward's in 2010, there were 1.015 billion motor vehicles used worldwide and obviously, since then the number would have increased only. Cars are widely used as they are convenient for one's daily use and it has become imperative to have at least one car in every household. There are so many people who would like to have a personal car in order to fulfill their daily requirement like going to offices, dropping their children at school, buying stuff from the market etc. However, not everyone can afford a brand new car and sometimes even if you can afford it you can look for inexpensive second-hand cars.
Buying a second-hand car is not a bad option at all. It all depends on your financial budget and requirements. These days so many people buy second-hand car or vehicle for their own use. But while buying a used vehicle you must be very careful about a few things otherwise it can put you at risk and you may end up regretting your decision. It can even put you in legal troubles and you might end up jostling the previous car owner and trust me it will be of no use. Sometimes you may even end up in losing your car, even worst.
All these situations are quite hideous and undoubtedly you might be feeling quite overwhelmed by reading it. But you do not need to worry if you live in Australia. You can always rely on REVS Check to know the details of the vehicle purchased, history of the vehicle as well as details and history of the owner. Ignoring a REVS Check can definitely put you in a lot of trouble so by no means ignore getting a REVS Check before buying a used vehicle in Australia.
REVS Checks and PPSR reports are essential aspects before buying a second-hand vehicle in Australia. They are also called VIN checks. But, many people are still not aware of it and some of them just ignore it. So, let us have a look at the steps that are important before buying a vehicle in Australia and how ignoring it can cost you a lot of trouble, time and sale.
What is REVS Check?
REVS Check is an obsolete check that people in Australia used to do while buying a previously owned car or vehicle. It was free of cost check that allowed the buyers to check if there were any financial impediments attached to the second hand purchased vehicle.
Since the past few years, PPSR reports have replaced REVS Check as these reports offer detailed information and documentation that focuses on the vehicle's history.
Meaning of REVS Check
REVS stands for Register of Encumbered Vehicles. It is a database that is specifically controlled by the government to check the history of the vehicle and if there is any financial encumbrance attached to the vehicle. These reports give you details about the payments, registration, loans or outstanding charges of the vehicle if any.
In 2012, PPSR reports replaced REVS Check, a PPSR report tells you about the detail of the vehicle like registration and every detailed information rather than just the encumbrance factor.
What is a PPSR report?
PPSR is the abbreviation for Personal Property Securities Register. It is administered by the Australian Financial Security Authority (AFSA) on the internet where you can easily find information about the secured vehicle. These reports are comprehensive reports about the history of the vehicle and can help you in picking the right vehicle of your choice. These reports offer details like:
- Financial encumbrances.
- Engine number related to the VIN number, color, and model type.
- Write-off associated with the vehicle.
- Maintenance and repair history.
- Involvement in an accident and information on any damage.
- Whether the vehicle has been stolen in the past.
- Odometer inconsistency.
Why are these checks and report important before buying a previously owned vehicle?
A PPSR report allows you to make an important decision before buying a vehicle on the basis of a comprehensive report, this helps you in choosing the right vehicle of your choice. If a vehicle has a bad history and financial encumbrance attached to it you might want to avoid buying such a vehicle as it can cost you a lot of time and money.
At the same time, you wouldn't want to buy a vehicle that is stolen or has some kind of bad history or is risky to drive. A PPSR report gives you valuable information about the vehicle even when the dealer is unwilling to give it to you. The data and information in a PPSR report can tell you if the vehicle is stolen and even if it was not reported. You can also cross check the chassis and engine numbers of the vehicle with the report to ensure originality and genuineness of the vehicle.
Why is it imperative to get REVS Check or PPSR Report to avoid any kind of limitations?
Getting a REVS Check offers the purchaser a number of benefits like:
- Gets you information about the debts and pending payments of the vehicle.
- It is just not restricted to cars and trucks.
- Very Easy to perform.
- Prevents you from buying a vehicle that is not good enough for you.
- Inexpensive as everybody can afford it.

Can someone write a simple explanation of CFI?
I tried reading the spec and still don't understand it.
I first want to understand the beginning.
It starts with a / followed by a number - what does this number means?
The first number is followed by a / and another number what is the meaning of the second number?
I find the spec. very hard to understand, I still did not understand these first numbers.
After I understand them I will continue and try to understand the rest.
Can someone write a simple explanation of CFI?
The easiest way to think of a CFI is as a path through the content in an EPUB to a specific location. You start walking from the package file and each number refers to an element or inter-element text/whitespace (odd numbers are inter-element content and even numbers elements).
That's why you'll see CFIs starting with /6, as "6" refers to the third child element in the package document, which is always the <spine>. For example, you have this epubcfi at the top of the spec:
After the /6 you obviously find another even /# which points to an <itemref> (4 here indicates the second <itemref>). The exclamation point after the number means to resolve this itemref to its content document as that's where the next /# in the CFI will pick up. The ID in brackets, allows for self-correction if the EPUB is later changed (e.g., if another content document were added to the spine before the one referenced, the CFI would be broken without an ID to compare against).
The next /4 means to go to the second child of this new content document we're now in. Assuming here it's an XHTML content document, the first child is the  and the second is the .
The referencing just continues in this way until you reach a final element or text offset within it (the :10 at the end means 10 characters into the text content). Also have a look at this earlier thread on CFI referencing some more info.
CFIs can also point to location in media, pixel locations in images, etc. They're very flexible, and give much greater granularity than simple ID referencing. They also allow a reading system to point into any location regardless of how the content author tagged and ID'd the content.
They're also more powerful than the simple outline I've given here. There are other features like side bias and temporal offsets that you'd also need to know about, but typically they are for machines to create, not humans.
Hope that helps.
Thank you that clears some of the mess.
From what you say, the first element is always 6?
In the second number most of the examples I've seen it is 4 but I have seen some examples with an odd number.
Why is it defined this way that I always put the same number (6) as the first number and why do I have to multiply by 2?
The second number in your example (10) is not multiplied, so how do I know which number is multiplied and which is not?
Right, but the /7 references in section 2.3 are a typo that has been logged in the issue tracker, so ignore those.
There's no multiplying of numbers, so although that might be a shorthand for getting the right element reference number it's not actually what is going on. As I mentioned above, interelement text/whitespace and elements are sequentially ordered.
Consider this spine:
<spine><itemref id="tocref" idref="toc"/><itemref id="chap01ref" idref="c01"/></spine>
It contains two elements and three instances of interelement whitespace (collapsed in this case). The numeric referencing into this element therefore works like this:
/1 /2 /3 /4 /5 <spine> <itemref/> <itemref/> </spine>
There's simply no point in referencing the odd-numbered inter-element positions in the spine, as you need to reference an itemref. And note that this numbering would be the same even if the itemref tags weren't empty. You don't walk the descendants of child elements when building these reference points, as the content within an element represents another step down into the content (i.e., another step in your CFI path).
As noted above, the "10" refers to a character offset, which is why it is preceded by a colon not a slash (i.e., it means ten characters in from the text content position found at /3).
You'll need to read the path resolution section (3.1) of the specification to understand the meanings of the special characters in the CFIs, and what the numbers/characters that follow them mean. Once you grasp the path resolution using the /# notation, it does get much easier.
Thank you, your explanation really cleared it.
Reading the spec again after reading your explanation makes it clearer.
I think I will write an article about it so that other people can also understand.
It still seems strange
In the example:
epubcfi(/6/4[chap01ref]!/4[body01]/10[para05]/3:10) the number 3 is not even although section 3.1.1 in the spec. says:
Each element is assigned an even positive index: the first element is given index 2, the second element index 4, etc.
Each element is an even number, and inter-element content is odd. The inter-element content is typically text, but may just be whitespace, as between element in the spine.
Have a look at the example in s. 3.1.10 which is where these CFIs are coming from. When you drill down into the CFI, ultimately the /10[para05] points to this paragraph:

xxxyyy0123456789

The /3 can now be seen to point to the second instance of text, which is the start of the string '0123..' (remembering not to count what is inside the em tags). Assuming the first position is '0', If you go ten characters into this string, you reach the point immediately after the '9'.
And to be complete, if you want to get to 'yyy', your CFI would instead be:
Since the  tag is the first child element in the paragraph, it is referenced as /2. And as it contains no child elements, there is only one instance of text content, which you reach at /1.
The only time you would end with an even number followed by a character offset is when referencing into the alt attribute of an image, as noted in section 3.1.4:
A character offset terminating step may be present only following a
/Nstep. For XHTML Content Documents,
Nwould be an even number when referencing the
alttext of an
imgelement, and
Nwould be odd when referencing text in a text node.

I first noticed it while going door to door in my fourth and last campaign for House District 37 in 2012. Because the district was very competitive, every two years I always had to ring thousands of Republican and unaffiliated doorbells between April and election day in early November.
Under the best of circumstances, campaigning in this fashion is always time intensive. If I got to 100 houses during an 8 hour Saturday, I was doing well. Fewer on weekdays after work, even if I stayed out 'til is was nearly dark on the long summer days.
But after having done so much of it, it wasn't hard for me to sense that it was taking longer to go from house to house than it had during previous campaigns. True, it was never a short walk between houses because cutting across lawns was, according to my mentor and master campaigner, David Balmer, strictly verboten: "It's ok for the mailman. But you don't want to let your constituents see a politician walking across their manicured, suburban grass."
So, I would take the sidewalk to the drive way, up the drive to where the walk forked off to the front porch, up (usually) a few stairs, and ring the bell. Then wait to see if someone answered. If they did, especially on Saturdays, they might want to talk for several minutes. And then reverse the process to the next house. Again, under ideal circumstances, slow going.
But try as I might, I couldn't walk as fast as I had in prior campaigns. It felt like there was stickum on the bottom of my shoes. And, just as weird, was the fact that I wasn't comfortable walking down even a few stairs unless there was a handrail.
"What was going on? I was an expert alpine skier, wasn't I? I could ride my mountain bike on rugged single track trails. I'd backpacked all over the state on rocky, rutted trails. Heck, in my youth I had been a technical rock climber. And now a few stairs were making me nervous?"
It hit me again with equal force when the session got underway the following winter. Legislators interact with lobbyists routinely; I was no different. Many of them are very professional looking women who work the marble hallways of the Capital all day (and sometimes late into the night) in stiletto heels; it looks brutally uncomfortable. But, try as I might, I couldn't keep pace with these women as we walked the 75 paces from the House chamber to my office.
A woman several inches shorter than I. In high heels. And I couldn't walk as fast as they did. What's going on? Frustration is scarcely adequate to describe my feelings.
I began talking to my doctors.
Maybe the titanium hip that had been put in several years before was going bad. The orthopedic surgeon who did the implant x-rayed it and tested my blood for some sort of titanium poisoning.
The same result when I talked to my GP at an annual physical.
I see a psychiatrist about once a quarter for my bipolar condition. I complained to him. "Can my medication be making me walk like this and not feel secure going down stairs?"
He did a simple battery of physical tests, like balancing on one foot and walking a straight line down the hallway in his office while he watched.
Again, according to him, nothing. (After we later learned what was really going on, he repeatedly offered a "mea culpa" for his oversight. He's a brain doctor after all.)
But after complaining a few more times in subsequent visits, he finally decided I needed to see a neurologist and gave me a referral.
It took a while to get in, but the appointed day finally arrived: my wife and I sat in the waiting room.
It didn't strike me as odd until later, but the doctor didn't have his nurse escort us to an exam room for the usual preliminaries. Instead, he personally met us in the waiting room and watched me get out of my chair and walk across the room.
I'm convinced he knew what I had even before I got across the room. Of course, some tests had to be run to confirm his impression: brain imaging followed by a spinal tap. (Take it from me, you haven't lived until you have had an evening to think about a spinal tap before it's done the following morning.)
But sure enough, the initial diagnosis was right: normal pressure hydrocephalus (NPH). Sometimes referred to as the "wet, whacky and wobbly" syndrome because of the most common symptoms. I'll simply say that I had the first and the third. And add that I hope to be able to avoid the second.
The usual treatment was what was prescribed for me: another hole in my head to implant a shunt to drain excess fluid from my skull to my abdominal cavity where it is reabsorbed.
Has the shunt been a miracle cure? Not hardly. In fact, I have sometimes been resentful when I read stories of others in my situation that do seem to experience full recoveries.
But there is no doubt that the shunt has slowed the progression of the condition.
Thankfully, the wet has definitely improved.
Am I whacky? I suppose some might say so. But I contend that I'm still cogent. At least I hope so. And hope to continue so for a good while beyond what is my 66th year.
Unfortunately, I'm still wobbly, especially going down stairs; I religiously cling to the hand rail when one is available. But I work out regularly and vigorously, including twice a week with a trainer. He hounds me mercilessly on my posture, virtual posture Nazi. And how could this possibly do anything but help?
NPH has made me more observant of the old people around me (I grow old…I grow old…I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled.). The stooped posture. The shuffling, wide gait. The caution at the curb.
It took the doctors years to figure out what was wrong with me. And I am certainly not alone. The Hydrocephalus Association estimates that of the 700,000 American with NPH, less than 20% receive an appropriate diagnosis. NPH is commonly misdiagnosed as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease. Or simple aging. But the facts are that it is one of the few causes of dementia that can be treated.
The penultimate take away? If you, or a loved one, is wet, whacky, and wobbly, don't rest until you get answers that make all the pieces of the puzzle fit.
And the last take away? This getting old stuff isn't for sissies.

David Tredinnick MP has visited ADAPT in Hinckley to learn of the charity's work in supporting families with premature babies in the local area.
A totally self-funded organisation, ADAPT was set up by parents for parents and they try to help wherever they can, including offering support and advice whilst babies are being cared for in the Neonatal Unit. The charity's support doesn't stop when babies leave hospital, however, with a number of ADAPT groups called the In-B-Tweenies run in the community.
David Tredinnick said, "It was a pleasure to visit ADAPT, which is an excellent charity set up to support families during a particularly traumatic time, to learn more about their work throughout the area.
"ADAPT is also campaigning on number of issues related to its work, including the need to monitor premature children in school. A recent study by the University of Warwick has found children born prior to 34 weeks have poorer reading and math skills compared to those born at full term yet it is reported that 8-out-of-10 teachers treat premature pupils just like any other.
"This is just one of the issues I intend to pursue in order to assist this excellent charity with its vitally important work for local parents and premature children."

Layout Board
19 comments:
You know, D, this really brings up an issue that I had a talk about on set not long ago – really, about locations.
I remember a time when the locations dept and production manager worked for the production. Nowadays, it seems like locations are working for the locations, and not for us. They seem to be more concerned with saving their ass and telling the crew what they can and can't do (their chance to be all high and mighty) than with what will actually get the day done quicker and more efficiently. Lately, I've been hearing a lot more of "no, you can't do that because the homeowner/location won't let us" rather than "yeah, let me just double check with the location and try to make that happen." Maybe it's laziness, maybe it's the aforementioned need to feel like they are in charge of something, I don't know. But it's been pissing me off the last few years that locations have seemed to be more on the side of the location rather than the production.
Also, perhaps to a lesser extent, and it really depends on the individual (some UPMs are great), is the case with production managers and coordinators. Depending on who you work with, everything seems like a hassle, especially on lower-budget stuff. Getting gear, returning, buying expendables, when to get what and how. I've come across more than once where the PM, for one reason or another, made a whole day (or a whole shoot) a lot more difficult because he was afraid of pissing off the rental house (or, god forbid, spending an extra buck) rather than making the job get done faster, and easier for us crew.
OK, I'll stop ranting now. Sorry.

As a Location Manager, I'll acknowledge that you're probably experiencing "the pendulum swinging a little too far". While there is an appropriate time for a location manager to say "no", there is never an appropriate time for that to be his only response. He should always be trying to accommodate both the production and the property owner. And he should know enough about the rest of the crew's jobs to have the balls to suggest alternatives, (which will admittedly, sometimes, be stupid, but that's no excuse not to try).
A few years ago, we were shooting in a place that had drop-ceilings and about a dozen 4-bulb fluorescent fixtures. The production designer wanted all the fixtures unwired and removed so the ceiling would only show un-interrupted white panels. This was going to add a ridiculous amount of time and money in electrician costs and the location wasn't wild about the whole idea either. (Note: The D.P. wasn't 100% sure, but he doubted he'd ever pick up any ceiling in the frame, but the conversation went on for 20 minutes anyway.) Eventually, I asked, since the fixtures were just sitting on the ceiling's framing, if we couldn't just shove them to the side and fill in the gaps with ceiling panels. A sort of "Duh" moment made its round of the Tech Scout and that was what we ended up doing.
(I think one of my favorite jobs ever was in a mansion scheduled for demolition. When one of the grips asked if he could nail a pigeon to the wall, I suggested he use a 10 lb. sledge.)
Re: the layout board.
In NY, for some reason, the materials come out of the Locations Dept. budget, but the labor comes from Set Dec. (per I.A. rules). Unfortunately, a lot of the newer set dressers show up out of the non-union world and don't know the rules. At the beginning of every movie these days, I have to get the leadman to explain to the swing gang that, yes, it is their job. (On my last show, I was really impressed by the A.D. who scheduled the big dolly shot for first up so the dressers could get the layout board put down on their prep day instead of holding up the shoot.) And, here too, a Location Manager should know enough and have big enough balls to tell a location, "Those wheels won't cause any damage. We'll refinish it if it does." It doesn't cost a thing to promise things you know you won't need to deliver.

rant on:
In my town, it seems that it's location costs come first, "Look" come second, and ease of use come third.
I spent this week in a house in a upscale neighborhood (read: can't get the trucks close enough) that could no more than four people, never mind the forty this "little low budget" shoot had. "Don't scratch the walls!!" was heard at every turn as we muscled a Pee Wee up and down stairwells that most football players would have issues.
What we saw of this house was a bathroom - no windows (2nd floor) and a bed with a wall behind it (basement). That's it for two days.
We spent more time moving furniture around rooms just to give us space to put vidiot village. Did I mention that this show it too cheap to rental a honeywagon or star rooms, so Hair/Make Up needed a cleared out room, and so did Wardrobe. Thank god the one toilet didn't back up.
This house should NOT have been offered up as an option. The location manager only did so because - he got a deal... If there's any damages, insurance will cover it and it won't come out of his budget.
Greenboard / layout board has gone the way of the doddo here in Toronto, it's been replaced by runners / matts and corogated paper for walls (4' rolls). And it's all "prepped" by a seperate company (installed and removed), so all that's required on the day is a location PA to shuffle matts out of shot and replace them when done. Oh, also, everything they use on stairs is dangerous, so that product has to be removed to carry dollies up and down stairs.
Why? I keep asking... in 25 years and the various generations of Locations people can't seem to get it through their heads nor come up with an answer for me... Ofcourse there are exceptions, but most of these LMs are just rushing to get to PM jobs so they can say "NO" to more people and look like an even bigger headed star to the producers.
Oh, yeah, don't forget to be nice to them as they bone you, as in the next year or so they'll be the ones signing your deal memo.
rant off
- Unknown said...
Thanks Nathan for a LM's perspective. I sometimes wonder,DW, who's side they're on also.
Azurgrip, great points as usual.
Next to layout board, I should have put big thick rugs you'll barely see as a pet peeve. But the production designers love em. My favorite story was a couple of years ago we were scouting a set that had ben built for a movie we were about to start. In it, the art dept had put down a HUGE springy rug, maybe 20x20 and plopped a 500 lb desk on top. I consulted with my DP and Key about the fact that dance floor would be a nightmare in there. The set dressers weren't happy that they had to remove the rug and desk they spent all morning putting in.
- Azurgrip said...
The rug with the two couches, huge glass coffee table and the planter with the six foot tree is always first to go.
On most series I've done, we invariably divide most carpets into thirds (or whatever works with the pattern) and carve it up to allow us to remove as little as possible.

Here's my favorite thing about layout board. The one and only thing that clean dolly wheels leave a mark on.....is......LAYOUT BOARD!!! And no matter how much you tell the sight rep that that is the case, they panic when they see the black marks on the layout board and subsequently it becomes your arch-nemesis for the next 12-14 hours.
One of life's cruel injustices....
if you can it is always a good idea to do a discreet test of turning your wheels 360 to see if you leave that distinct donut shaped mark for the locations guys to deal with after you have long since gone.
bottom line don't be left holding the bag if there are any floor issues .keep everyone informed along the way.
If only you had a name. I was pulling cues on an ancient dimmer board for live shows when I was nine, was a summer apprentice (ten weeks, 50 hours a week) in a theatrical set shop when I was 14, and was working on no / low budget stuff when I was 18 while in college. If this business is in your blood, you start early.
Thank God I missed layout board. Budgets here have always been too small, and the liability laws cap damage awards anyway. The courts here see it this way: if you invite 40+ people into your home / office in exchange for money, there will be lot of damage, which you can then pay for. Did you HAVE to agree to let them shoot in your house?

Wick, that's the way it should be. People love to have shows shoot in their house and take the money that comes with it, but then bitch about all the equipment it takes to do it. I really have to bite my tongue when site reps start up with me about something.
PS- by the way, sometimes I forget to sign in and comments get left under my wife's account. "Rebecca" is me.
Sometimes I think we have it really good here in India. Locations would never dream of telling us we cant wheel a dolly into a location. Unless we were filming in an operating theatre, that would never fly.
If youve been paid, accept what comes with that high rental.
P.S. D, by now everyone knows you are rebecca sometimes :)
Rubber mats are the way to go now on location. Very rarely use board nowadays. And remember the floors are not just protected against dolly wheels but from all other equipement brought into the location. Somebody mentioned about clean wheels are ok on an unprotected floor, let me ask you do you constantly check your wheels to see if they are clean?
- D said...
uhhh, yeah because I'm a professional.

Oh, is that so. The dolly grip said no layout board was needed on a marble floor. He said he never had a problem. A couple hours later some tool fell off the dolly leaving a nice big hole in the floor. I hope the grip offered to pay to repair the floor.
Another time another dolly grip said he didn't need layout board under the dolly. What happened? The dolly dropped a pool of oil on the expensive wood floor while the house rep watched. Nice going, know it all.
At another house the crew just destroyed the house. They needed to do a re-shoot in the house on this major film. The homeowner said, "Forget it."
At another house, the dolly driver said the dolly would not hurt the priceless soft wood floor. He had hard wheels on. You can see where the dolly went. The tracks are still in the 110-year-old floor.
I could go on and on about all the damages, but typing skill is kind of rusty.

Irst of all Steve, welcome. Your comments are appreciated. I have a couple of points though: Point number one- I can't help it if you work with Dumbasses. They are scattered through the business like leaves on a Fall day.
Point Two- I'm an old timer too. I've rolled dollies on any floor you can imagine after first assessing that I had the correct ones on and that they were clean. Never left a mark. not one. Ever. The only damage i ever did was when a sideboard slipped out of my hand and left a big dent in a floor, through the layout board. which brings me to point three- Things happen. If you want to shoot in a sensitive location, then at least be aware that sweaty guys carrying thousands of pounds of equipment are going to be in the house. Things are going to happen. It takes a lot of crap to make a movie and most of it is heavy, leaky, and often pointy.We don't show the locations, you do. If you don't understand the logistics and Murphy's Law then you're a moron. My last point- It's Dolly GRIP. Not Dolly DRIVER. If you haven't learned the terminology used for the last 80 years then I seriously doubt your set experience.
D. Another Old Timer.
I am a Location Manager with over 15 years experience in the business. Here are some horror stories: dolly leaks oil on custom carpet in an attorney's office: 25K to replace. Tool dropped down marble stairs, hitting/chipping every 4th one: 7K to repair. Light stands (w/ missing rubber feet - assured by the gaffer that all feet are in place): gouged brand new wood floor. Guess what? New floor. I've had to replace the lid of a grand piano, not cheap btw. Spreaders anchored against ornemental plaster: disaster. This stuff happens all the time, and is usually the result of crew members not exerting reasonable care, i.e. rushing - caused by pressure from their dept head. And it seems that nobody really cares because the LM/the company will have to deal with it. I don't have a problem with the cost of the repairs - we are contractually obligated to restore the property. I do have a problem about the attitude of some crew members who claim to be "professionals," but treat other people's property as a rental. It ruins the reputation of the industry, and that is the real danger long-term.

Thank you Anonymous for your comments. I agree with you about the way some people treat locations. Unfortunately we all get painted with the same brush when someone behaves badly. Your comments are appreciated.

Our New Season Will Be Announced Shortly
Our New Building
Cumbernauld Theatre is delighted to be working in partnership with North Lanarkshire Council on an innovative shared campus: alongside the new Cumbernauld Academy will be a new Arts Centre for Cumbernauld and beyond.
The new Arts Centre will include a theatre, cinema and bistro with superb facilities for drama, dance, music and film which will enable us to present a wider range of performances, bringing great experiences for audiences and world-class facilities for classes, workshops and community participation.
Funded by Creative Scotland and North Lanarkshire Council, Cumbernauld Theatre already has a national and international reputation.
Our new Arts Centre will allow us to build on our innovative, high quality arts provision:
= Our own highly praised Christmas productions and award winning co-productions
= Visiting artists, touring theatre and music events
= Creative Learning programmes enjoyed by thousands of people each year
Cumbernauld Theatre is much loved by its audiences and participants. It was founded in the early 1960's by a group of committed community members; and the building was subsequently extended in the 1970's with the addition of a larger theatre space.
However, the building has remained largely unchanged in the intervening 42 years and is now nearing the end of its useful life as it struggles to keep up with the changing expectations of audiences, participants and visiting artists. The significant investment required simply to maintain the current aging building has led directly to the need to build a new Arts Centre in North Lanarkshire.

China's government has bowed down to public pressure and abandoned an unpopular industrial waste pipeline project, just hours after a street protest against it, which turned violent.
China's coastal city of Qidong saw a thousands-strong march of angry protesters clash with police and rampage in a city government building. They were opposing an industrial construction project, which they fear would poison region's water supply.
Saturday morning's demonstration is the latest in a series of environmental protests sparked by plans to construct a pipeline from a paper mill located some 110 kilometer from the city, which would carry industrial waste into the sea.
The protest involved more than 1,000 activists, according to Reuters estimates. AFP cites the eco-protesters themselves, who claimed they were numbered in the tens of thousands. The demonstrators clashed with police forces trying to maintain order, injuring at least several of the officers. They also overthrew several cars in their way.
A group of demonstrators broke into the Qidong government building and ransacked it. The angry mob smashed computers, damaged furniture and threw out documents from the windows. They also reportedly looted items of value, including bottles of liquor and cartons of cigarettes – which Chinese officials often receive as bribes.
The rioting comes just a day after city government announced it would put on hold the project for further environment impact research. The Japanese owner of the paper plant earlier assured that it does not pose any danger.
But many Qidong residents are convinced otherwise. They fear the pipeline would cause poisoning of local groundwater and fishing resources. The announced suspension of the project and warnings from the local government that the gathering would be breaking the law did not deter the demonstrators.
The Qidong pipeline conflict is the latest case of Chinese people strongly opposing industrial development plans over environmental issues. This month authorities decided to scrap a US$1.6 billion project for a copper plant in Shifang province, which local residents were protesting against.

(from the forthcoming 7th Sea: Second Edition Game Master chapter)
People always ask me how I feel about hearing GMs change the rules of games I've published. I always say the same thing: "Great! I'd love to see what they came up with." That answer tends to confuse people, so then I often have to explain that I see RPGs as a kind of oral tradition. You can go to different cities, sit down at different game tables and play different versions of 7th Sea. To me, that's exciting. And it was hard for me to explain why… until recently.
A few months ago, I read an article online called "How I helped to pull the rope that tolled the bell for OD&D." (You can read it here.)
The article stunned me. In summation, the author—a kindly gentleman named Tim Kask—talks about the earliest days of Dungeons & Dragons, and how the rulebook wasn't a rulebook at all, but a list of example rulings. The difference, he argued, was that rulings gave the Dungeon Master freedom to improvise creatively while rules limited the DM's ability to run the game. He lamented that later editions went to the side of rules vs rulings and the game has suffered ever since.
Like I said, the article stunned me. (I could talk about it for hours, really. And have.) And it also got me thinking about how I run my own table. Many times, if I can't think of a specific rule, I make something up on the spot. A quick ruling that's fair, but also fast. I make the promise, "After the game, I'll look up the rule," and I do and try to keep it in my head for the next time. But, generally, if I can't think of a rule, I ask for a quick roll of the dice. If the player has an Advantage that would benefit him, I let him use it. Sometimes, I even ignore an existing rule and create a new one that better fits the circumstance.
That's how I want you to look at these rules. These are the rulings we've come up with, that we've found fair and useful. Sometimes, they'll get in the way and a quick roll of the dice may be a better solution. Sometimes, the rules we've given you will fit like a glove and add to the fun.
The end result of all this navel-gazing is a simple piece of advice. When it comes time to run the game, you don't need to have all 300 pages memorized. Just stick to the basics:
- You Create a Scene.
- Players Create Raises.
- Players use Raises to change the Scene.
That's really all you need. Those are the only rules. All the rest is rulings. Suggestions we found useful. You may not find them useful. You may ditch one in a moment of forgetfulness or panic or dramatic necessity.
That's okay. Nobody's sending the 7th Sea Rules Enforcement Force to your door to make sure you get everything right.
Improvise. Have fun. And remember: it's a storytelling game. And these are your friends. More importantly, this is your game. You bought it. You can change whatever you want in it, including the rules. Sometimes, especially the rules.

Poo talk
I have too many ideas and can't settle on a few things for the bubster's school fair craft stall. Now I'm making felt food. It's been great fun actually. I'm really liking this. I see the potential.
The other day, I asked the bubster what he thought of my tomato slice. He said:
"That one looks like a 'tutcumber' (cucumber), that one looks like poo on a tutcumber and that one looks like a toe MA toe.......with poo on it." Then he presents me with his cheeky, dimpled grin:
"Gee, by golly, that 'don't sound too good there, big fella'." Hmmm.
Or does it?? It's hard to know coming from the 3 year old male mind. Poo does feature heavily in many a conversation. Whether you want it to or not.
Yesterday, he kept asking daddy if daddy knew why he (the bubster) was 'walking funny'. No idea. He stubbed his toe badly the night before, could that be it? No. "Do your legs ache??" No. "Are you sore somewhere?" NO. "Are you still feeling sick?" NO! "How can we help you? We are just trying to help." NO!!
Lots of pouting and shrugging and sighing and plain old sour face-ing. He attempts to eat breakfast. Begrudgingly. Grumble grumble.
Then, "But Daddy! Why am I 'walting' funny!!!" Exasperation rears up. "Bubba, I don't know why you are walking funny. I'm wondering if it's your toe. Can daddy have a look?" NO!!
Stumped. Pondering. What is he on about......
Silence. Then daddy asks, "Do you need to go poo?" Silence. A meek.... "yes", is uttered.
He takes daddy by the hand and hobbles off. Oh so that is it. He needed to go poo. Geez, I should have gotten that one. Huh. God, where's my mummy brain today?
Then I hear daddy say, "Ohh......well, just sit up here, I'll get them off for you." Ah. So there is more to this cryptic message than that he simply needed to use the toilet. There had been a small accident. I should have guessed that from the conspicuous cowboy walk.
He has had a touch of a tummy bug at the beginning of the week so it fits. I wish he could have just said what he needed, though. It seems like it was a much more painful process for him to make us guess than it would have been to just tell us.
I'm reminded once again that he's at an age where he still thinks we know what he is thinking - that we are super human and can read minds. How much easier it would be if we could!
Edited to add: my text format has gone bonkers - can't get it to do what I want. So if this text looks huge, it's bloggers fault!

Fantastic pasta & vegies Karin...!!! I see a little Etsy shop in your future.
The Bubster's school is so fortunate to have parents like you to create gorgeous things for their fair...wish I were able to come along & join in the fun.
Don't think you are quite out of the "Poo" woods yet...gotta love three year olds. Give him a smooch for me...good to know all's okay in the walking department again.

Yes, poo talk. We've finally made a rule that poo talk has to happen in the bathroom. So you will frequently find 3 or so boys telling poo jokes in the bathroom. At least I don't have to hear it at dinner.
I love love the "accidental cowboy" walk. They look like they've just finished a 3 day ride.
FUN felt food. Although I don't see any poo on the tomato? ;) I'll get Toby and Jes to look.

The food is amazing Karin! Who knew felt could look so appetizing?
Tracy is right. It seems that boys are much more obsessed with poo than girls - and somehow the word seems appropriate in every conversation for quite a while...sigh...But they grow up so fast, and later on you actually miss the poo - in some ways. ;)

You'll have to let us Canberrans know when and where the school fair is. If the other mums are as creative as you, it could be dangerous!
Thanks for the well wishes.

"Sorry" de Justin Bieber este în Just Dance 2017, Just Dance Now (doar alternativa), și Just Dance.
Appearance of the Dancer
Extreme Version
The background is very colorful, having color-changing pebbles and black sticks float. The lines are separated by being a separate layer from the rest of the background. Grey shades hit the pebbles, turning them white. Afterwards, crudely drawn spirals and stars panel around, different layers changing different colors with red patches scattered around them. Rainbow panels frantically shake in once place, being separated into panels over a white backdrop. Inside the rainbow, a saxophone player can be seen.
Extreme Version
The background is the same one used in the Classic routine. However, the background is now black instead of white and some of the elements have been placed and move differently.
Gold Moves
There are 3 Gold Moves in the Classic routine, all of which are the same.
All Gold Moves: Perform a "dab" move by raising your left arm to your face, your right arm outwards and your right leg upwards.
Extreme Version
There a 3 Gold Moves in the Extreme Version routine.
Gold Move 1: Bend down and put your hands on your knees. (Similar to Disturbia)
Gold Move 2: Quickly point at yourself and then throw your arms down.
Gold Move 3: Quickly spread your arms out.
Appearances in Mashups
Sorry appears in the following Mashup:
- Cheap Thrills (Sunglasses)
- This is the third song by Justin Bieber in the main series, after Beauty And A Beat and #thatPOWER. It is followed by Let Me Love You. However, this is the first song where he performs as a solo artist.
- However this is his fifth song in the entire franchise after One Time, and Love Me in Just Dance Kids, and Just Dance Kids 2 respectively.
- The coach's silhouette and background were used to tease the game via social media.
- In the preview, some pictograms appear earlier than they should.
- In the chorus, the dancer does a well-known move from pop culture called "The Dab". All of the Gold Moves in the routine require you to do this move. This happened in the alt version of Chiwawa too.
- Sorry was used in the demo for Just Dance 2017. However this song got replaced by Watch Me (Whip/Nae Nae) in December 21, 2016.[5]
- Sorry is the second song to be used in a demo, after Blame (for Just Dance 2016).
- In the preview, one of the pictograms was wrongly placed, but it was corrected in the final game.
- The background for the Extreme Version of the track uses the inverted color scheme of the Classic routine's background.
- The dancer in the Extreme version has a black and white outline that is in full opacity. However, in the square, the dancer is missing her white outline.
- The Extreme version has a Behind-the-Scenes version of the square that was found in the Just Dance Unlimited servers.
- In a leaked 30 seconds preview of the Extreme version, the coach's ankle turns black in certain parts of the routine.[6] This glitch was fixed in the final release of the game.
- In the demo, the lyrics are red but in the final release the lyrics are yellow.
- The jacket of this dancer can be seen in the music video for Je sais pas danser.
- The Classic routine for Sorry is one of the choreographies selected for the digital qualifications of Just Dance 2016 World Cup.[7]
- The Extreme Version instead, has been selected for the digital qualifications of the 2018 World Cup.[8]
- As of January 31, 2017, Sorry does not appear in the list of songs released in Just Dance through the link http://api.justdancenow.com/v1/songs/published, although it was actually released the day before.
- The Alternate for Sorry was released on April 27, 2017 on Format:G2, along with those for What Is Love and Cheap Thrills, and they could be regularly earned for 150 coins (although Alternates usually require a VIP pass to be played). All of these routines were removed after a few hours.
- However, they were removed later in the same day (April 27).
- They were added back on May 18, 2017.
- However, they were removed later in the same day (April 27).
- In a tutorial picture for the 7th-Gen version of the game, the Classic background is projected behind the coach from Wherever I Go.
