Last post I tried to investigate the extent to which North Korean citizens had access to and engaged in online video gaming. My investigations were aimed at providing a baseline from which to compare a contemporary aspect of western cultures with the culture of the Democratic Republic North Korea (DRNK). The other aspects of media I had researched in this country left me quite confused, angry and empathetic with the population lock into a despotic regime. Confused because I could not rationalize how a culture so trapped by the irrational ideology of a small elite minority and an unbalanced family of puppet leaders, could exist in the detente of the 21st Century. Angry because I could not understand why the rest of the cultures of the world allowed this total media control to happen and empathetic because I could understand that they were missing out on a freedom western cultures simply take for granted.
People in Australia and other first, second and even third world cultures have the media freedom to use, produce and transmit information and digital products across the World Wide Web. http://www.internetlivestats.com/google-search-statistics/ states that the search engine Google receives a daily search volume of 3.5 billion. Although no accurate statistics were available, this level of freedom does not exist in the DRNK. If we watch the Denis Rodman documentary and examine the set-up of the Technology Centre there is one man with the Google home page on the screen but he is not searching he is acting the part of a media engaged citizen. If it is so important change the outside world perception of a media oppressed culture then an intelligent person would do it with an actual interaction rather than a farcical set up.
If autoethnographic research is about using the important discoveries in the researcher's life what I have discovered about the use of media in the Democratic Republic of North Korea has really had an impact on me. My studies into media and communication have broadened my knowledge and understanding of how media is used in many contexts and for many purposes. My enlightenment has shown me how powerful the use of media, specifically digital media, can be in improving the life of the user. In the 21st Century I feel that access to and freedom to engage with digital media is a new human right.

5 Beauty Products that Brings You the Joy of White Christmas
Just a month away from Christmas, and I'm missing the white winterland of Hokkaido already. I fervently wish I am back in Japan to catch some snowfall, or actually, just anywhere in the world that is blessed with white winter.

2 Sisters to create 300 new roles in Devon
The increase in workforce is designed to help expand its processing, cutting and packing operations for its retail customers.
The majority of the new roles will be production operatives and there are a smaller number in finance, animal welfare, engineering and quality assurance.
Just under half (140) of the roles will be converted from agency positions to permanent 2 Sisters employees, while recruitment manager Chris Adamson will hire the rest from the local area.
An increase in cutting and packing capacity and new thigh de-boning equipment has brought about the need to take on the extra staff, boosting the current headcount to more than 1,200 since January, with 160 new colleagues taken on. The 300 additional new roles will take the factory numbers up to 1,500.
'Invest at the right time'
Keith Packer, managing director of UK Poultry, said: "We have always said we will invest at the right time in the right location when it benefits our business and our customers. So I am delighted that we are creating these new opportunities at Willand.
"It is not about being bigger; it is actually about having a smaller, more focused footprint that has the capacity to carry out the whole operation. Willand and the greater Devon area is a perfect fit for us, because it gives us access to a strong growing base with excellent farms and a loyal workforce who deliver day in, day out."
Adamson added: "As you'd expect, we are working closely with local job centres and we're heavily on social media, but we also need to be creative in our talent pipeline searches. So this includes reaching out to back-to-work charities like Christians Against Poverty, PACE and army career centres.
'The right attitude and skillsets'
"There are tremendous opportunities at a large employer like 2 Sisters and those with the right attitude and skillsets can build a great career here, as we've seen many times in the past."
2 Sisters also aims to take up to 20 new apprentices in butchery. The new recruits would split their roles between Devon and a 2 Sisters red meat site in the south-west.
The business recently announced that it would be working more closely with the Food Standards Agency to share information.

You're absolutely right Ian. There is nothing worse than getting your macro photos up on the computer just to realise that the perfect shot is slightly off focus! Had my fair share of those in the past, but yours seems pretty spot on. Would love to see some macro stuff from you if you decide to do any…
Day 291 – Focus On Me
My 50mm has finally been delivered after being repaired. After taking a few check shots and thinking the focus might be a little bit off, I did a quick focus test.
The chart I used is available for download at Focus Test Chart along with giving you instructions on how to check your focus.
It looks as though I may have a very slight front focus at this distance, but my setup wasn't that great so I am ok with that until I do a few real world tests.
When up close, with a depth of field of about 3-4mm wide open at f1.4, I think it is pretty important to have confidence that your focus is spot on.

hi jenson, good luck in brazil babe. fingers crossed for another podium . luv you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx : )
Hi Jenson,
Congratulations on being the 1st team mate at Mclaren to beat Hamilton, seems like your racing career's really developed into something amazing and some of your wins (especially Montreal this year) will be remembered as some of the best ever races. I hope that the triathlon training is going well and that you're managing to fit it in around F1.
I was wondering if you could please Tweet a birthday message to my girlfriend, Marlous3011, who will be 25 on the 30th of this month. Don't worry if you can't/don't read this or forget and a Tweet anywhere near the time should be okay.
I hope that I'm not asking to much, but I am a big fan and know that she would head-over-heels with joy to have you send her a message.
All the best JB, we can't wait until the 2012 season!
Go well in Brazil,enjoy the last of the current season. Looking forwrd to you renewing the battle again in 2012.
Hi Jenson,
Well done on a great season. Hoping to see you testing in Jerez in February. Visiting my family there at that time, and we would all like to meet you. Is there any opportunity for that? and do you have the dates yet. It would be a fantastic Christmas present , and I would be happy to give a children in need donation if we can see you in the pits in Jerez . Good luck in Brazil.
i have a dream! to come to the factory and you and others show me around. telling me stuff about f1. i am a big fan of f1. i like allot of f1 drivers. you are 1 of them. is there any way you can make my dream come treu??? i am a broke man and waiting for luck comming my way. have fun in brasil. greetings marco.
Jenson, Fanaastic! Incredible how you held off Webber and Massa with a severly hampered car. You've beaten Lewis over a season and that could mean more to me thatn anything else! they said you'd never win a race- you did it. They said you'd never win a championship- you did it. They said you'd never win ar McLaren- you did it. They said you'd never do Lewis over a season- you did it. They said you'd never win a second world championship- Bring on 2012!!! Love you mate, keep flying
well done on beating lewis in the team battle hope you get the second place you deserve in the championship take care love helen pearson from FROME SOMERSET XXXX
Jenson, I am a serial inventor who likes to think laterally and come up with many new ideas. I have provided some new ideas to F1 previously. I would like to help you become the next F1World Champion but need direct and confidential access to forward my new concepts which can make the car go faster, hold the road better at high and low speeds, improve fuel consumption rates, reduce drag (and increase when required!) etc. E mail me if you want that extra something!
Hi Jenson
Congratulations on your 3rd place finish on Sunday and for being the first team mate to ever beat Lewis, fantastic a well deserved victory. You drove a superb race, as always, showing just how skilled a driver you are by driving most of the race without KERS and still managing to fend off Webber and Massa, great job. Without the KERS issues I am sure you would have been up front battling it out with Lewis. Looking forward to going racing in Brazil in 2 weeks, although sad as it is the last race of the season.
Well done!!
Kay x
Hi Jenson,
Congratulations for your 3rd place.
I believe that without this problem of KERS, you would have been first or second.
You and Lewis and all the team have done a great job.
See you soon for the grand prix of Brazil and for your 2nd place in the Championship of the world

Brilliant drive in Japan again Jenson. 2012 should be your year, lets hope so and all the best. If you carry on as you are doing you won't need any luck.
Can you get an agreement with Lewis Hamilton that you are number one. We seem to see more of his mishaps on the television race program than we do of your smooth drive ti victory.
All the best of luck, but as I said, you won't ned it.
way to go jenson, I think you are in your prime now and to quote the words of a certain x factor judge "you put it down " good luck for the rest of the season and bring on 2012 XXXX
Excellent JB.Great victory nice to see you able to keep getting the better of Seb. Looking forward to Korea with interest,am ure you will excell again.
Best of Luck,
Hi Jenson
CONGRATULATIONS!! Fantastic race, awesome drive. Once again you showed that you really are the No. 1 driver, a real champion. Over the moon that you won at Japan, a very emotional race for you and team Button. Enjoy the celebrations and hopefully you can do it all again in Korea next weekend, can't wait.
Well done!
Well done JB, Epic Win !!

Hi Jenson
Fabulous race in Suzuka'11.
In my mind, you are now driving better than when you got your World Championship.
And most of all, I am delighted to watch you engage in conversation in the paddock or in the pit lane, always sympathetic, never in a bad mood.
Magnanimous, is the word.
Keep it up, mate, you got yourselves a new fan !!!
Hi JENSON
A new superb race. It was very fantastic to see you at the firt place. You are the real Champion. As you says, the 4 next races ll be very exciting
Congratulations to the team MCM, and to your father John, Jessica
Well done !
Bye and good luck for the next race
Well done Jenson a great and a belated birthday present for me
Once again a superb race. You are the real World champion, because you have achieved the most on the track in your driving skill. I say again, put Vettel under pressure and he struggles. Any driver with clear air in front of him and a good car can become a world champion, but it is only the better driver who can get through the pack and get to the front. Well done !
Wow ! What can i say ur the man ! Congrats 2 vettel but ur still my number 1 jenson u raced amazingly my champ x

Shore Sails rig tension
Anybody know how to tell what cut of sail I have? They are Shore sails I have no idea the age, I'm going to guess mid to late 90's. The gentleman I purchased the boat from wasn't much help with rigging the boat. I asked him how he had setup the cunningham, he asked me what's a cunningham. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Fri, 11/11/2011 - 16:55
I am going to take a wild
I am going to take a wild guess and say that it is probably a loose rig jib. I don't think the tight rig, snug rig, snoose rig, etc had come about yet. Look on North Sails One Design website or Google Flying Scot loose rig jib and you will find a tuning guide that will help you get the setup close.
Sat, 11/12/2011 - 22:38
Are they Shore sails or
Are they Shore sails or Schurr sails? Many Scots came with Schurr sails and they were mostly loose rig.
Is there a fleet in your area that you can ask?
Shore and Schurr also both have websites. You can call them.

i would agree that they are
i would agree that they are probably loose rig and you could use the North sails tuning guide as a starting point.randy blough FS#1954

In Adobe AIR 1.0 and 1.5, there were different options to "open" the data of a Flex DataGrid in Excel. For example, you could leverage the AIR native drag-and-drop support to drag rows from the DataGrid to an open Excel spreadsheet. You could also drag rows to the desktop (or anywhere on the file system) as an .xls file. These two approaches are demonstrated in my Salesbuilder sample application. Another approach was to use a server roundtrip to download the generated .xls file from the server and force Excel to open with the data.
There was however no immediate way to implement a straight (client-side only) "Open in Excel" feature (aka click a button to open your DataGrid data in Excel). With AIR 2.0 and the new File.openWithDefaultApplication() method this becomes extremely easy to implement. In the sample below, I provide an example of this new feature. The sample also supports the drag-and-drop approach from the AIR application to Excel and from the AIR application to the desktop (or anywhere else on the file system). This sample uses the as3xls library to create the Excel spreadsheet. View Source is enabled.

The SPL-IZER is an adjustable 3 band 24db per octave FIR (Finite Impulse Response) frequency splitter that allows the three bands to be isolated and routed to aux or instrument tracks for separate processing.
All the metering you will ever need. A collection of six individual powerful audio analysis tools designed to fulfill a number of familiar analysis tasks with professionalism, style and finesse.
Don't get confused - this is not multi-band compression. Dynam-izer is an entirely different beast. Why always apply the same compression to all audio levels? Compress the louder levels with a quick attack; expand the lower levels with a slow release and leave the mid level sounds alone. Try it with a traditional compressor you won't get far. Dynam-izer lets you break your audio levels up into "zones" so you can control them exactly how you want. No one size fits all compression here.
The Detailer is a stereo mastering tool or final mix plug-in for the master fader. It represents a new method of increasing the perception of detail while still allowing increased loudness in the final mix. It is a combination of three band limiter and dynamic widening psycho acoustic processing. Roger Nichols has fine tuned the process to produce the most effective results with the least amount of adjustments.
We all know that unplanned digital distortion is bad news. Use Finis to control your audio levels and prevent distortion from rearing its ugly head. And when you need to give your audio more edge, Finis helps you maximize your audio's loudness. Even at extreme settings, Finis can control levels without audible distortion. Whether you just need to catch an occasional over or to increase the average level of your audio, Finis offers a flexible solution.
The Finis 3 Band Limiter Loudness Maximizer is a Peak-Limiter and Bit-Depth Re-Quantizer, which is a so called ôDitheringö. The Finis 3 uses multi-band dynamics processing, limiting the total of the multiple bands or each band separately to a certain Threshold factor. This allows the Finis 3 to reach maximal loudness of any given sonic repertoire. The band split is implemented using FIR (Finite Impulse Response) linear phase crossovers so that no phase distortion is introduced by the crossovers.
Frequal-izer builds a complex FIR (Finite Impulse Response) filter to your specifications. See the results of your EQ with the built-in spectrum analyzer. Frequal-izer will not color your audio with the introduction of non-linear phase shift.
Why work within the confines of an EQ configuration of someone else's choosing? Uniquel-izer lets you determine your ideal EQ. If you ever need more bands or filters, they're just a click away. No need to swap out for another EQ or use another insert slot. Uniquel-izer lets you be the boss.
Uniquel-izer LE uses the same advanced algorithms as its big brother Uniquel-izer, but with a fixed number of 7 filters. Settings saved with LE can be loaded into its big brother Uniquel-izer.
FIREQ is a 1/6th octave stereo finite impulse response (FIR) mastering equalizer with linear phase characteristics.
FIREQ LE is a 1/3rd octave stereo finite impulse response (FIR) mastering equalizer with linear phase characteristics.
D1 is a flexible and intuitive compressor that uses the concept of Compression Zones with individually configurable attack, release, and ratio. With D1's Zone, you specify exactly how ranges of your audio's levels are compressed. There's no one-size-fits-all compression here. Produce complex, but subtle changes in your audio or completely alter the sound. D1 can help you bring out nuances you didn't even realize were present
D4 is a "Dynamics Processing Tool" that breaks up audio into "processing zones" so you can control different levels as needed. Each zone has separate attack, release, and gain settings. Unlike ordinary compressors it can be a compressor, expander, compander, leveler, de-esser, ducker, dynamic restorer, limiter and everything in between.(VST3 version included)

In the sleepy hours of mid-morning, the window is misted and covered with drops of rain. The sky, a dull gray, waits beyond, looking quite tired itself. Tree branches sway slightly, bending to the mildly present wind. The view does not encourage the will to venture outside. Still, one cannot stay indoors indefinitely. Everyone's individual world consists of all that is within the boundaries they make. For some, that can be one single building, or one single room. Most of us, however, need a wider variety to our world. Although the absence of the sun in the day steals away the desire to exit a warm bed, what is a little rain in the face of connection to the world at large?
One thought on "Another Life #10"
True words, very well written.

I was recently introduced to the books of tidying expert/guru Marie Kondo (KonMari), and as soon as I read the brief excerpts on her website, I knew I needed these books in my life ASAP. Being somewhat of a dejunking/organization nerd myself, the joy I felt inside of me as I looked over her website was almost overwhelming. I wanted to laugh and cry at the same time. I knew I had just found something wonderfully life-changing. The basic idea of the KonMari method is to only keep possessions which bring you joy, and to surround yourself with them. Doing so dramatically and positively affects all areas of your life, as your possessions and surroundings will then help you to live the life you truly desire.
I began by reading The Life Changing Magic of Tidying Up, and ate it up like a piece of chocolate cake (you guys, I loooove chocolate cake). I read it straight through in one afternoon/evening, and during small breaks I talked my husband's ear off about the different concepts.
The next day I started the follow-up book, Spark Joy: An Illustrated Master Class on the Art of Organizing and Tidying Up, and I read it over the course of three days instead of one (I do have a life, you know). This book offers more details and presents illustrated examples of folding clothes and other storage techniques.
Finally, the graphic novel The Life Changing Manga of Tidying Up: A Magical Story showed up at my door and it was a cute and quick read that gave me many giggles (I love to giggle). For those who don't like to read (especially non-fiction), this graphic novel of a fictional girl who employs Marie Kondo to help her tidy her home is a fun and easy way to learn the KonMari method.
Although I've only just begun the KonMari tidying process, I have already experienced positive changes in my life by simply adjusting my mindset regarding the way I relate to my possessions. Her method of folding clothes has also revolutionized the way I relate with my clothes. I am so excited about this entire experience and can't wait to finally get my house (life!) in order after all these years.
Of course, I MUST blog about this. I plan to blog about my entire tidying process using the KonMari method (I've already learned so much!) because I can't keep my mouth shut about the things that I love, and I also hope to inspire others. I really do believe this is life-changing, as the title of Kondo's first book asserts.
Soooo, my next several posts are going to be all about this "Spark Joy Journey". I hope that by reading my forthcoming blog posts, you too will learn what sparks joy in your own life and experience a more fulfilling and happier way to live.

Woodworking in America – Midwest was in its opening day when a fine-looking gentleman woodworker stops by The Acanthus Workshops booth – of which I had commandeered a small portion (Thanks, Chuck Bender) – and picks up one of my brass-head mallets. Immediately Mr. Frank Klausz looks at me and says he is taking a mallet to use during his classes. My reply, "Have fun."
The idea that Frank used a mallet is great. The fact that he, as he handed the mallet back yesterday after his classes, told me it was a "Very nice mallet", was awesome. The fact that I am now sold out of the first run my mallets is sad. But fear not. I have a second run in the works and should have them in a couple weeks.
If you are looking to add a great mallet to your woodworking tools, this is the mallet and this is the time. Beginning on Tuesday – election day, so please get out and vote – I will adjust mallet pricing to reflect the deal that many woodworkers took advantage of at one of the two Woodworking in America shows. For the balance of November, you can pick up a mallet (handle and insert included) for $160. That's a savings of $25. And your mallet will be delivered during the first week of December, if not earlier. What a great gift to give or receive. Click here to see products in my online store, including the brass-head mallets.
By the way, if you placed an order for a mallet in the last couple weeks, you will also get the price reduction.

text: Got these two recently. S/L from Goldsboro Books of The Three Body Problem and The Dark Forest by Cixin Liu. Just realized that they have a different translator for the first two books of the trilogy. (The third should be out next year some time). I will probably read these back to back so I am wondering if the different translators will flow together.

This lovely lady Lana, was in a pound in Cambridgeshire on the PTS (put to sleep) list when we were asked to help, to which we said of course and she arrived in our kennels on Christmas Eve. The lady who transported Lana said she was a very friendly girl and gave lots of kisses and was very affectionate.
Lana is believed to be about 6. Lana is now safely in foster where she has fitted in so well and having lots of fun enjoying being a happy dog again.
Lana has now been adopted by her foster family.

Today's cybersecurity landscape has distributed teams, analysts working remotely, and ever-evolving threats. In such a scenario, it is critical for security tools to have versioning control. The ability to revert to an older version of a response playbook provides a necessary fail safe; complete source and personnel tracking improves transparency and team coordination; finally, having robust version logs also helps with due diligence requirements.
Being cognizant of how important versioning is, Demisto v3.0 is now fully versioning and rollback capable. Let's take a quick look at the new versioning control feature in Demisto's roster.
Playbook Versioning
When you're working on a playbook, there are two methods of saving it. You can save it normally (with the save icon button) and have it overwrite the previous version automatically. Or you can save the playbook as a version by clicking the 'Save Version' button: quite preferable when you want other team-members to see the playbook's evolution trail as well as if you want a safety net in case there are any mishaps with later playbook versions.
The snapshot below shows how to save a playbook version:
You can view a log of a particular playbook's versions along with explanatory comments as shown in the snapshot below:
If you want a higher-level view of how all playbooks have changed with time, it is possible to view the version history of all playbooks as shown below:
An important thing to note – both for a particular playbook and across all playbooks – is the wide range of information the respective logs display. As the screenshot below shows, you can view the playbook name and attached comments, the playbook version's status (modify, delete, and so on), the date and time stamp, and the user details of whoever changed that playbook version. You can also restore the playbook to any previously modified version and restore a deleted playbook from this window.
You can almost think of this as multiple save files for your favorite video game, each save file denoting the level you reached, difficulty level, and other salient details. If you get stuck on a particular run-through, just load another file!
Other Versioning Capabilities
Apart from playbooks, versioning capabilities have also been built-in for automation scripts and custom third-party integrations in Demisto v3.0. The feature works and looks exactly the same as it does for playbooks, allowing you to save versions, view version details, and restore previous versions if required.
Here's a snapshot of how you can view the version history for an automation script:
A few other versioning functionalities to consider:
- Markdown is supported while writing version comments. This allows you to write and format rich text, tables, headers, images, and links into your version history.
- Whenever you get a Demisto content update, you can restore this content to a previous version from the version history dialog box.
We hope you found this breakdown of Demisto v3.0's versioning capabilities helpful. If you're interested to know more, we invite you to view the video walk-through on our YouTube channel. If you are a Demisto customer, you can also visit the release notes on the Demisto Support portal.
If you are new to Demisto and interested in exploring the platform further, we invite you to sign-up for the Demisto Community Edition. All Demisto v3.0 features are available with full functionality in the Community Edition.

In today's economy, every dealer is looking to get more out of their advertising dollars. Leveraging your media money for lower rates and increased added value is just the beginning. Here is a simple tip that will help you sell five to ten more cars next month, and every month, through your current media partners without increasing your advertising budget. It is called Relationship Marketing and, properly executed, will deliver incremental sales immediately.
Dealers spend tens of thousands of dollars, if not more, each and every month with local media in exchange for ad time or space. While this is an efficient way to reach the masses, most dealers fail to capitalize on the relationship they have developed with the local media outlet and their employees, other clients and vendors.
Many radio, TV, and newspaper groups have anywhere from 25 to 75 local employees including receptionists, admin staff, technicians, and accountants. These employees don't get many of the perks that are associated with being in the media like free lunches, concert tickets, and trips; these are usually reserved for the DJ's, account reps, and clients. Yet, all these employees have one thing in common: they drive cars and want a good deal on their next purchase.
Take time to show you care
If you are a regular advertiser with a local media outlet, take the time to get to know their management team personally. Find out what community activities they are involved in and what employee perks they offer their staff. Explore how you can help their business outside of just buying air time or space from them and suggest that your dealership can offer their employees a VIP service and exclusive offers on their next car purchase. Ask about their other regular advertisers and how they can help you network with those companies. You will be surprised how many doors and key relationships they can help you develop in the community. The media will see you in a very different light when you approach them this way and will be more than happy to make key introductions directly to their staff as well as their other local advertisers and vendors.

From Latin America to Asia: 7 countries can host Russian military bases
The authorities of countries around the world from Southeast Asia to South America hinted that they were not against the location of the sea and land military bases of Russia in their territory. Some of them suggested using Russia their entire flight infrastructure.
First is Libya. General Haftar himself, who now controls most of the country, wants to locate the Russian base of the Russian Federation in Benghazi; this is the second largest city after Tripoli, with a huge port. Haftar is negotiating with Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu. The base will allow to control the southern flank of the NATO bloc, as well as the base will be located in the country with the largest oil and gas reserves in North Africa.
Sudan can become a second African country with Russian military bases, it is also a maritime port Sudan. The base will allow to control the trade routes to Europe by sea.
Egypt is also ready to assist Russia. Head of State Abdul-Fattah Khalil Al-Sisi promised that all the country's infrastructures can be used by any Russian military aircraft.
A South American country located in the very north of the continent, Venezuela also agrees to host military bases. In any case, this is the opinion contained in the author's article of the portal "inforuss". Recall that our experts noted that the Constitution of Venezuela prohibits the deployment of foreign military bases in the country. However, if martial law is introduced, then you can close your eyes to this "rule".
Russian military bases may be even closer to the United States; they may be located in Central America, in Nicaragua. The country's president, Daniel Ortega, remembers how in 1986 Soviet soldiers were able to prevent a pro-American revolution. Therefore, he is ready at any time to place the base of the Russian Federation.
In Southeast Asia, Russia may take up positions in Myanmar. Now Russian specialists and military advisers are working here.
Even the Seychelles expressed their readiness to host military bases. The ships of the Russian Federation and so regularly go to the port of Victoria, in addition, in 1981, the Soviet ships did not let the South African soldiers make a coup d'état here.

Today I spent the whole day with the airbrush! Luxury!
I set myself a bit of a challenge with this image inspired by a Warhammer 40000 Space Marine.
He has been executed in black using the latest waterbased colours from the Airbrush Academy – The Airbrush Series. This is a new range of colours sold direct by the man himself, Mick Neill. They work straight from the bottle, and for added control, the range includes its own thinner. I can recommend them.
OK, product plug over. I spent the weekend making masks and shields to define the hard edges, so that I could concentrate on getting the paint on – and this is the result. It's on a 20″ x 16″ canvas board.
What do you think?

One of the beauty of Open Source is the ability to hack into the codes and modifies it to suit our needs. One of the most popular Open Source project currently is OpenOffice.org. We are all waiting for their upcoming 2.4.0 release which should bring quite significant improvements over 2.3.1 (the current stable version). Meanwhile, the developer is busy working with the next major version of OpenOffice.org 3.0.
One of the most anticipated components of OpenOffice.org on every major release is the splash screen. Before OpenOffice.org 2.0 comes out, OOo team held a contest to pick the default splash screen which will be included in 2.x series and Brendan Whelan won the contest.
Andrew Z wrote on his blog about how to customize the OOo splash screen. If you don't like it, you can disable it or even remove it. Or, if you prefer to use other images, then you can replace the default splash screen with your own images.
With April Joke is coming, i think you can use this splash screen from KDE-Look project to fool your friends
Note: If you are using the default option, the progress bar will not be in the correct position. I tried to modify the sofficerc file and edit this line : ProgressPosition=10,213. Now the progress bar fits on the correct place (below the text).

Guernsey based JTC announces management shuffle
JTC, the Guernsey based provider of institutional client and private client services, has appointed Adam Moorshead as managing director, to take on cross jurisdictional responsibilities as the company seeks to grow its range of services.
Moorshead (pictured) will also sit on the global management board of JTC's Institutional Client Services division, joined the company in 2015 after it acquired Kleinwort Benson's fund administration business.
Before becoming head of Fund Administration at Kleinwort Benson he held positions at Man Investments, Credit Suisse and Rothschild Asset Management in London.
Moorshead's appointment means that former Guernsey managing director Paul Duquemain will continue in a role as group director, with specific focus on business development for the Institutional Client Services division across the JTC group. He will continue to hold directorships on client boards, and manage client relationships at a senior level.
Stuart Pinnington, group head of Institutional Client Services at JTC, said: "We're delighted to have Adam join the senior team following a period of extensive growth and investment. With his funds and management experience, our Guernsey office is in a very strong position to ensure clients continue to receive a first class multi-jurisdictional service. In addition Paul's move to a role that focuses on business development and key client relationships across the Group is of key importance to the Institutional Client Services division and aligns very well with his particular skills and experience."

Having mauled the Caribbean island of St. Martin overnight, where this morning the French government said that the four "most solid" buildings have been destroyed, Hurricane Irma – now at 185mps for a record 33 straight hours – has just passed north of Puerto Rico, buffeting the US island territory's capital, San Juan, with heavy downpours and strong winds that scattered tree limbs across roadways, but not before "totally demolishing" the island of Barbuda, with 90% of all dwellings leveled, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said.

Browne said that Irma has unleashed "absolute devastation" on the island making Barbuda, home to some 1,800 people, "basically uninhabitable" with preliminary damage estimated at some $150 million.

"This rebuilding initiative will take years," Browne told local television after a visit to the island, where he confirmed at least one person had died due to the storm. A second storm-related fatality, that of a surfer, was reported on Barbados and the French government said at least two people were killed in Caribbean island territories of St. Martin and Saint Barthelemy.
Irma, with top sustained winds of 185 miles per hour (300 km per hour), was on track to reach Florida on Saturday or Sunday, becoming the second major hurricane to hit the U.S. mainland in as many weeks.
While Irma's intensity could fluctuate, and its precise course remained uncertain, the storm was expected to remain at least a Category 4 before arriving in Florida.
Irma is not alone, and as reported earlier, two other hurricanes formed on Wednesday. While Katia, in the Gulf of Mexico, poses no threat to the U.S. Hurricane Jose in the open Atlantic, about 1,000 miles (1,610 km) east of the Caribbean's Lesser Antilles islands, could also eventually threaten the U.S. mainland, a third hurricane landfall on the U.S. in under a month.
According to Reuters, Florida emergency management officials, chastened by Harvey's devastation, began evacuations days in advance of Irma's arrival, ordering all tourists to leave the Florida Keys, a resort archipelago off the state's southern tip, starting Wednesday morning. Evacuation of residents from the Keys was to begin Wednesday evening.
Ed Rappaport, acting National Hurricane Center director, interviewed on Miami television station WFOR-TV, called Irma a "once-in-a-generation storm," adding that for Florida, "It's the big one for us."
Chuck Watson, disaster modeler with Enki Research, said in a note that "Irma is the kind of storm where you get thousands of lives lost. This is not going to be the big slow-motion flood like Harvey – this is a real, honest-to-God hurricane."
Late on Wednesday, the eye of Irma passed just north of Puerto Rico.

"The winds that we are experiencing right now are like nothing we have experienced before," Puerto Rico Governor Ricardo Rossello told CNN. "We expect a lot of damage, perhaps not as much as was seen in Barbuda."
At least half of Puerto Rico's homes and businesses lost electricity by nightfall, according to a Twitter message posted by an island utility executive. According to the Miami Herald, Puerto Rico residents could be left without power for four to six months after Hurricane Irma grazes the island.
"There are going to be blackouts. Areas that will spend three, four months without electricity," Ricardo Ramos, executive director of Puerto Rico's energy agency, said, according to the Spanish-language news agency EFE.
On its current path the core of Irma, which the Miami-based center said marked the strongest hurricane ever recorded in the Atlantic Ocean, was expected to scrape the northern coast of the Dominican Republic on Thursday. It was on a track that would put it near the Turks and Caicos and southeastern Bahamas by Thursday evening.
Trump, whose waterfront Mar-a-Lago estate in Palm Beach, Florida, could take a direct hit from the storm, has already approved emergency declarations for Florida, Puerto Rico and the U.S. Virgin Islands, mobilizing federal disaster relief efforts. He spoke with governors of all three by telephone on Wednesday, the White House said.
Florida Governor Rick Scott said Irma could be more devastating than Hurricane Andrew, a Category 5 storm that struck the state in 1992 and still ranks as one of the costliest ever in the United States.
Residents in most coastal communities of densely populated Miami-Dade County were ordered to move to higher ground beginning at 9 a.m. ET (1300 GMT) on Thursday, Mayor Carlos Gimenez announced on Wednesday. The evacuation orders will affect more than 100,000 residents, the Miami Herald reported. Miami-Dade has a population of 2.7 million.

Scott told a news conference in the Keys that 7,000 National Guard troops would report for duty on Friday, ahead of the storm's expected arrival. Statewide emergency declarations were issued in both North and South Carolina, and Georgia Governor Nathan Deal declared an emergency for six coastal counties in anticipation of Irma's arrival.

Family Visit
We had most of the family out for a visit last week, their annual fall trip to North Dakota is becoming a well loved tradition. In addition to the usual cast of characters, this trip included a new group member, our new nephew Jacob.

Aw, Jacob is adorable! And what a head of hair, wow, what a cutie.
It's really nice that Puppy likes little children, not all dogs do. Even my little ankle-biter Shih Tzu's aren't all that fond of kids, but that's also in part due to the fact they don't enjoy being towed around by their tails or ears. It ain't easy bein' a little dog.
And that watermelon from your previous post, wow, that looked good from here, who cares if there's seeds, I bet it was delicious.

wow, sounds great, must be nice to be invited to those things instead of most of your family just doing it with out telling you.

Let's sail away together, Summer!

It is soooooo hot! Summer has landed! Time to keep those jackets in a box and bring out all the shorts and tank tops. I love summer as much as I love the rainy season. During summer I get to wear those tank tops and shorts the way they are supposed to be worn without feeling cold. No layers to hide 'em!
It's time to hit the beach or the pool, whichever you choose. Another thing that I love about summer is that I get to ride boats going fabulous beaches where you can just slow down, think about nothing and relax underneath the sun or walk around the shoreline with just the moon and stars as your guide. An advantage of living in a tropical country, you can never run out of beaches to go to! So, since, I've been itching to leave and take a break, I thought I'd welcome summer with a navy-inspired outfit.
I can't take my mind of the road trip, the wind, the sea, the sand and all that jazz. I can't wait!!! Vacations are sort of an escape. More than the family vacation, I'm thinking of trying to travel alone this summer. I've never done that…Maybe, this year is the year to do it.
Just pack-up and go!

I am sorry for the long absence, I had ugly allergies and well, I've been doing a lot of things lately. Anyway, recent events made me realize things and really, really made me feel so happy!
It's really those little things that make my heart flutter. This blog was created with no intention of anything. Friends just pushed me to show the outfits that I create or wear. I am no high-fashion-girl nor am I an expert at fashion. There are still a lot of things that I haven't worn or even know. I just wear things as they come to my imagination. This blog's first year anniversary is about to come! I cannot believe it. And I thank those who read it and wait for an entry.
Another new addition to my wardrobe is this skirt, given to me by a good friend as a gift.
Anywho, back to my musings. Fashion is all about influence and your own creativity. Although greatly influenced by the environment you walk on, the people you go out with and what's available out there, your fashion is YOU and no one else's.
For me, fashion is something personal and it reveals something about the person wearing it. So, when people compliment or as ask about the clothes that I wear, it really, really makes my heart flutter.
It feels good that people appreciate what I wear and moreover, I am overwhelmed by those that approach me telling me about references towards this blog and well, by the number of people that visit it. It's not much but still, thank you so much.
In Filipino, the term is, "nakakataba ng puso". I don't really know the exact English translation of that. Sometimes, translating something loses its core meaning.
I look forward to my first year! Hope you do too!
Wow! What a mushy post!

My Yuletide Theme

Since this is what I wore to one of my most memorable Christmas Parties of this year (and since, I've been wanting a Greek inspired outfit for the longest time), I decided to post this as my Yuletide outfit. Or as Ancient Greece would have it, the Winter Solstice.
I've always loved Christmas, from the parties, reunions – awkward ones and the happy ones, gift-shopping, gift-giving and all that, oh-so-yummy food. This year's Christmas seem to have more depth than the past Christmases that I've had, or am I just maturing? Or was it the roller-coaster ride year that is, 2009?
I must say, there were a lot of changes and trials this year and I am thankful for those who helped me and for surviving all of them. Needless to say, for what it's worth, I am still thankful for everything. I know for a fact that I learned a lot.
Oh! This is one of the effects of the year ending. I get to recount everything that went good and bad the past year. So that when the new year comes, I am able to set new goals for myself.
To more great finds, great clothes, great eras, great themes, great shoes, to the year that has passed us and to a whole, new, roller-coaster 2010, CHEERS!
I now bid all of you a Great Yuletide Season and a Wonderful New Year! Thank you all and see you all next year! 😀

Last weekend was a whirlwind! Wore this last Saturday. My day started with a meeting then work (bought stuff at the mall), then had a date with Johnny Depp *insert drool here* and then ended the night with an all-out videoke night and a good talk with a very good friend.
I have posted this already more than 2 months ago. But well, it such a pretty dress that it deserves a 2nd post and an all new look.
Gosh, I don't know where to start!
For one, i think my morning meeting went fairly good. I just hope I get a call back.
The afternoon was much more fun! Elyoo and I watched Public Enemies *insert drool here, again*. Story wasn't much but all the Johnny Depp *drool once more* made up for it! WATCH IT WATCH IT WATCH IT!. I now want a 30's inspired ensemble.
The videoke night was sooo much fun as well! I love the songs! hahahaha! From Bohemian Rhapsody and What's Up. Hahahahahaha! Really enjoyed this day! 🙂
As for this dress, it really is one of my favorite dresses! I just love how adding a couple of things or two would change the entire look. Can I safely say 50's inspired? Not really sure on the era of this one. I think tights were more of an 80's trend. Hmm.. what do you think? Thoughts? Anyone?
That was my saturday fun and really good. I think it's all good now. Yep. It's all good now.

Lately, I find myself going back to specific eras for fashion themes. When I open my closet, pieces like this dress would stand out because it looks like it came from a specific era.
Or I would find plain, modern dresses and be able to twist it into something more retro. This is me being costume-y again. Haha. I really think I wear clothes like a costume. Haha.
Hmmm.. I really think I'm into headbands lately. But I haven't made the debut of wearing a headband here at the office. Haha. Maybe, if I have more time in the morning.
Hmm… I wish I can find something for a 1920's look! Haha.
Glamorous, Glamorous, Glamorous.
I really like the glammed-up fashion statements of all the eras that have come and gone.

Forgive the pics, I took this in a different time of the day. And I was hurrying the editing (I fell asleep hehe. I am actually a little giddy while writing this down).
When I was told by my officemates, that I looked Roman-ish when I wore this, I thought, moods do influence the way I dress, I didn't realize that sometimes, I do wear stuff in a theme– like a costume of some sort.
I do love costume parties! Oh, do I miss those days! I'd totally dress up in a specific theme or character. "Themed Dressing", I guess, is part of my nature. Could it be the theatre background?
I do love costumes, conceptualizing them, looking for them, re-creating them. I guess when my emotions or mood are just to vague (or when I'm just pretty bored with my life, hehe), I do dress up in a "costume" and live in it for a day.
It IS fun! Clothes or rather our own fashion style/statement do influence how one walks, talks, and feels. Themed or Costume-y, I think we should just be able to determine, if it's just inspired by a specific era or character OR when you're already looking like a kid going to a Hallooween Ball?
The things we discover. hehe. Hmm… I wonder if I have stuff that can be Greek-inspired…

I was feeling a little blue the past few days which sucked all the energy and creativity out of me, ergo, I wasn't at all productive. When I told myself to snap out of it, I decided to wear something cute and fun.
Also, since Matts mentioned it to me, here it is, I am now smiling. haha. I also had a little fun when I took the photos. 🙂
*It's going to be a…*
We all have our ways in creating our wardrobe for the day. Usually, for me, the shoes make the outfit but more than this, mood plays a big role. We usually hear people say that their outfit depends on their mood at that moment. I think it's a two-way street, you can actually help change your mood (especially when it's leaning on the negative side) when you wear bright or fun outfits. It did help me! Hehe.

I found out on Friday that a former co-worker was just diagnosed with breast cancer. Luckily she caught it right away and the prognosis sounds promising. I still wanted to make a pretty pink card to let her know that I am thinking of her and support her personal decisions 100%.
Don't ya love this pretty bra die-namics die? So fun to work with. I ran my Sweet Tooth cardstock through my machine in an embossing folder. Two different embossing folders were used and are linked below.
Thanks so much for stopping by,
