I can not be more than Happier to send Mano to a new school for his start of K1 (Kindergarten 1,K1). His new eco-school with a new approach to education is just amazing. He is much happier now to go to school and becoming more social. The kids at the school are great and the teachers are very watchful. Even the parents are really happy and very communicative with other parents discussing how 'Great' it really is to have 'moved' them from previous schools to This One. Children can actually breathe here and possible can 'think' better too. There's 2 Teachers in every class! They even offer a free 1 week Trial. Only 2 days in and they Bought me pretty much!! Their school is bigger than Mano's previous school, so much space, so much Nature so much Green!
I can't be more than happy. All schools for children should be like this one there's so much to it than just a picture but Mano has a lot of friends now and he is completely satisfied and Happy in regards of his new eco-school and we hope that he will be even lovelier. Today he even said to me "No Thanks". He never said thanks or thank you or please unless I made him (ha ha). He usually doesn't discuss school at all (in the previous one) but now he does! They even have animals like goats and rabbits and birds and funny looking chickens running around (well the goats and the rabbits are in good captivity and only let out when necessary): the point is the kids are taught to love animals and be friendly to animals and to Nature itself. They have plants just growing absolutely EVERYWHERE and not some fake Grass. Ponds and water running are heard from a far to make the Environment feels more peaceful and Tranquil. Great for Learning.
I arrived to pick him up from school and he didn't even want to go home yet!!! That Never Happened Before. So today is only Mano's 4th Day and I will register him on Friday. Finally I can actually say: This is a Good School (not just some money oriented school), but a really good One. This is what I mean by Quality over Quantity.
Mano's mom, Dania.

Barry Allen was just 11 years old when his mother was killed in a bizarre and terrifying incident and his father was falsely convicted of the murder. With his life changed forever by the tragedy, Barry was taken in and raised by Detective Joe West, the father of Barry's best friend, Iris. Now, Barry has become a brilliant, driven and endearingly geeky CSI investigator, whose determination to uncover the truth about his mother's strange death leads him to follow up on every unexplained urban legend and scientific advancement that comes along. Barry's latest obsession is a cutting edge particle accelerator, created by visionary physicist Harrison Wells and his S.T.A.R. Labs team, who claim that this invention will bring about unimaginable advancements in power and medicine. However, something goes horribly wrong during the public unveiling, and when the devastating explosion causes a freak storm, many lives are lost and Barry is struck by lightning. After nine months in a coma, Barry awakens to find his life has changed once again – the accident has given him the power of super speed, granting him the ability to move through Central City like an unseen guardian angel.
First episode date: October 7, 2014
Networks: The CW, TV Puls
Directors: Glen Winter, David Nutter
Creators: Greg Berlanti, Geoff Johns, Andrew Kreisberg
Stars: Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker

Now a crime-scene investigator, his dedication to learn the truth about his mother's death drives him to follow up on every new scientific advancement and urban legend. When his latest obsession — a particle accelerator heralded as a world-changing invention — causes an explosion, it creates a freak storm and Barry is struck by lightning. He awakes from a coma nine months later with the power of superspeed. When he learns that others who have gained powers use them for evil, he dedicates himself to protecting the innocent, while still trying to solve the older mystery.

Halloween was so much fun…
Yes I am now one of those tw**s that takes a picture of themselves in the mirror!
Had a listening test today in Japanese. Those of you who are friends with me on Facebook (click here if you want to be) will have noticed already, heh! It went so very well but then I ran out of time! Damnations. I missed about 6 questions (out of 50?) but all of them that I did answer I think I got correct.
I find listening in Japanese so difficult. It's ok when it's written down and I can see what the vocab is, but when it is said (in super fast speed) I miss all of the important bits. Tomorrow I have Japanese conversation so I will get to practice some more!
I haven't done my portfolio work yet and Sensei's getting a bit miffed at me I think, so I better go and do that hey!
Wednesday Addams and Foreign Language Teaching
I'm going to a Halloween party tonight and I will be dressing up as my most favourite fictional person; Wednesday Addams
I was a little obsessed with her (and Christina Ricci) when I was younger and I pretty much own the same dress already (faux pas?)
So today's Japanese lesson went really well actually. I nailed the vocab test and then actually understood most of the new grammar notes (causative form?) It's getting a bit full on now so I must start living in the library again soon.
I've got half an hour to kill before my next lecture; Methodology of Foreign Language Teaching (yes, it is as boring as it sounds). It's not that difficult, but so so loooong. The lecturer is a crazy cat-lady/hippy/extrovert and she repeats everything at least twice, sometimes three times. It kills me. And it's 3 hours long. THREE HOURS GUYS. I stop concentrating after 20 minutes so you can imagine the joy I go through every Tuesday (I say every Tuesday but I've actually missed 4 lessons already… I just couldn't cope okay!)
Tomorrow if I'm not too hungover I'm going to spend the WHOLE day doing work! I've got my first Japanese listening test on Thursday and then on Friday the Japanese exchange students will be visiting our class so that we get a chance to speak to them 🙂 I always get a bit nervous when speaking to actual Japanese people (mainly because my Japanese is excruciatingly terrible) but I want to try my best to at least impress them a little!
I still haven't decided on a Japanese university but I think I'd like to go to Obirin… it may be a little far-fetched since they only allow 2 people in the year from our university, but a girl can dream right? I need info on Obirin please!
Other than that I hope everyone enjoys Halloween tomorrow. Halloween in Japan must be the funnest time of year.

Death of the Desktop by Aza Raskin
Notes form Aza Raskin's presentation on Death of the Desktop.
Interface Concepts
- cognetics = ergonomics of the brain
- 7 +- 2 = amount of things we can keep in our brains
- habituation – never use a warning when you mean undo
- people will make mistakes despite any warnings, due to habit
- hick's and fitt's law
- hierarchical menus are evil
- information efficency
- there are quantitative measures of how good an interface is
- interface – what you do with a thing and how it responds
- to a user, the interface is the product
- keep simple things simple
- if you have trouble explaining your interface, your users will have trouble using it!
- compare: setting a digital watch (hellish) versus setting an analog watch (simple)
Other Simple Things That Aren't
- cell phones – why can't we take pics on a cell phone like we do with cameras
- rounded corners
- adding an entry to Google Calendar
The Problem: Applications
- applications are like isolated cities
- sepearte applications generate waste
- for example, think of how many different spell checkers your typical win xp pc has
- OLE and OpenDoc was an attempt at this problem, but don't really work
- start at the beginning
- what does an interface do?
- four things: create content, navigate content, select content, transform content
- when designing an interface, return to the building blocks
- example: why don't all applications auto save?
Content is Everything
- think of content and user first, and let the interface follow from that
- this is why the desktop is doomed – no work gets down in the desktop
What Does the Desktop Do?
- lets you get into a state where you can enter content
- lets you categorize content
- lets you navigate content
Language has untapped power
- Aza did his entire presentation with Explorer closed by using Enso, the product his company is working on
- looks similiar to Quicksilver, only with more power to integrate with the current app
- Spotlight/Google Desktop Search
- structured natural language is one possible way
- icons are faster then words only in very limited cases
- let search be search
- let 2d content be 2d
- why are large montiors more productive? because you can have everything open, and things don't get hidden
- let the user's structure be
Let the Desktop Die
- the toolkit straitjacket can hold us back
- if a toolkit is created to make it easy to recreate the desktop on the web, thats what you'll end up doing
- why would you want to try and emulate the desktop on the web?
- we have a unique opportunity at this point on the web – we must not return to the desktop
- Alex (from Dojo) admits toolkit designers have a difficult time bridging the gap to interaction design – he wants to work with experts in the field – where are they?
Solutions – Services
- mashups
- let you stand on shoulders of giants
- seperation of UI from backend
- services are for end users and developers
Solutions – Universal Access Interface
- bookmarks are not scalable
- url bar doesn't scale
- need a fast, semantic method
- example: ENSO
- design for the Big Picture
Take Home
- content is everything, given a good interface
- language is power
- services are good
- unifcation

Martyn and I went to the coast over the weekend to celebrate our "ten-iversary" because we have now been an official couple for ten years since May 1st/Beltane! Here's the only picture I have from our first date on Tybee Island Beach in Savannah one decade ago:
What a weirdo…and what was with that shirt, anyway?!
Our "ten-iversary" trip to the coast was only one night away but it was still so nice to have some real time off from everything and recharge our mental batteries. Plus we got to stay at the Sou'wester, a lodge/campground on Long Beach that has restored vintage RVs for rent…and it was sooo cool! But anyway, before we left for our trip I finished up a drawing that I had had made for an art swap event that a friend of mine had invited me to on Saturday night. The event ended up being cancelled but at least I ended up with a nice pencil study of Lucia, the albino faun character that I made at the Toby Froud rod puppet workshop (see my previous posts.) I think I might even use this as a portfolio piece when I go to the SCBWI Spring Conference at the end of this month.
I used two shades of deep red pencil and a white pencil on rose toned paper. I was going for the look of a classic Leonardo da Vinci pencil study but something about it makes me think of a vintage beauty add instead. Either way, I ended up really liking this one and it has inspired me to perhaps make some similar work in the future.
So ever since we got back from our mini vacation on Monday night it's been back to business. I'm supposed to meet with Jenny at Vine Gogh on Thursday night to learn a new painting so I figured I would get some of my ideas for future classes together to discuss with her while I'm at it. I've heard that the new studio in Tigard may even be open for business by the middle of this month so it's about time I get crackin' on this stuff! Last night I worked on my idea for what could be our first watercolor class, or at least that I am aware of. I flipped through all of the reference photos I took on Easter Sunday of the Witches Castle in Forest Park and landed on these three favorites:
I combined what I liked about the first and second picture and came up with this:
The painting is a little large–well about 11″ x 15″, which is a little big for your classic watercolor nature study but the same size as the illustrations I did for my children's book because I just used the same paper. I'm not sure what size we're most likely to use at Vine Gogh for the watercolor classes so I just stuck with what I had already. This painting took me around three hours from start to finish…which is WAY too long! The classes that I teach can last up to three hours, but I want to eventually come up with a painting that I know so well that I could paint it in just one hour if I had to. This first time around just took me a while because I was essentially teaching it to myself; remembering each step to the best of my ability and deciding on the best order to paint each layer when I have to someday teach it to somebody else. I also took a few progress pictures while I was working on it to help me figure out a nice sane step-by-step for next time.
And here is the final painting once again:
So yeah, I've still got to work on simplifying the whole thing into a few easy and defined steps but I've got a feeling that it will probably just come naturally to me when I paint this a second time. In analyzing my own work and trying to expedite the process, I expect a natural abstraction/simplification is bound to occur…well here's to hoping!
I might later try doing another painting based on my third photo of the Witches Castle, the one that was taken from this alternate angle:
I personally love that picture, especially with the little pink flower bud in the extreme foreground, but I wonder if it might be a little too complicated for a beginning painter. If I decide that it is I guess I could still use it as reference for my own work in the future. We shall see.
In addition to all of this I've got a few more ideas for watercolor painting classes AND some ideas for polymer clay sculpture classes. I'm gonna be working through all of them in the nearish future, so just be sure to stay tuned as always!

Late Post Today, But Jump on the Blanket the Earth Train:
Let's keep the momentum going here for the Rude Pundit's idea for bringing warmth to the Occupy Wall Streeters all over the U.S., if not the world.
The deal again: On Friday, November 25, a group meets at a designated location in each city where there's an OWS encampment. We bring blankets, socks, hand warmers, and more. They can be bought or secondhand. The donation will then become a show of support from those of us not camped out, a way of saying, "You keep going. We need you."
Let's organize more on the Twitter and Facebook machines.
More info soon. And feel free to make suggestions about this effort.
Back later with more ignoble rudeness.

Spot gold jumped over 2 percent Monday in Comex futures trading. A big up day and a breakout above the important mark of $1,350. Yes, sure, Ukraine had something to do with it. But the real reason behind gold's 2014 rally is another.
Over time, the gold price correlates with the total amount of Federal debt and other debt metrics in society. And since the Treasury got the license to issue debt again Feb. 12 with the clean debt-ceiling bill, gold has been off to the races, rising 5 percent.
Savvy market participants already started bidding up the price at the turn of the year in anticipation. Gold is up 10 percent since Jan. 1, outperforming most other asset classes.
How about the national debt? It actually went down by $92 billion at the beginning of the year until the Senate passed the debt-ceiling bill. In the three short weeks since then, it's up $168 billion. What's more, because the debt ceiling is suspended, the Treasury has until March 2015 to issue as much debt as it likes.
Why does this drive the gold price? Because in today's society debt is money, even more so than the Federal Reserve Notes printed by the Fed. More money means higher asset prices and that includes gold.
The Treasury can print money (debt) much faster than the Fed; the recent $168 billion in three weeks puts even the $85 billion per month of initial quantitative easing to shame.
Also, new debt issued by the Treasury directly increases the total supply of credit money, whereas QE only increases reserves banks hold at the Fed unless the Fed directly monetizes new issuance.
Should banks choose to use these reserves, they could increase total credit money supply, but private lending never took off during the recovery.
Yes, Federal debt rose by 5.5 percent in 2013, a rather slow pace compared to the last decade, when Federal debt nearly tripled. It is also slow compared to the 18 percent annualized pace since Feb. 12.
Sure, there are periods when the correlation breaks down, like in 2008 or in 2013, but it has worked rather well since the beginning of 2000, the start of the great expansion of Federal debt.
There is another reason why gold reacts to the issuance of new Federal debt. The gold price is a reflection of faith in the dollar. If the dollar goes down, gold goes up.
The dollar is ultimately backed by the Fed's balance sheet. The Fed's balance sheet is made up mostly of Treasury securities.
If there is a continuing supply of new securities but no new tax money to pay back the debt, these securities will fall in value. Hence, the balance sheet of the Fed becomes worth less and so will the dollar.

I got hundreds to thousands of photos through my life. A lot of which would match up to stories here on Cowabunga Corner, but for one reason or another they are not chosen. This does not mean that these photos are not worth sharing and do not hold stories of their own. I would like to keep sharing what I can here on the site, so whenever I can I will share a photo and a story to go along with the photo. If it's a part of events that has been shared here, we will link back to the stories of the events themselves as well. Hope everyone enjoys. Today's photo is from Fishing in 2008.
My mom has always been a family person. So we were visiting some of our family that lives up in Holly, Michigan. They had a lake house and we go up and visit them from time to time. I knew them most of my life. Sadly, both of them are gone but their children who are full grown with kids of their own still remain a part of our life.
I do not normally fish, it's one of those thing that I don't even think about doing. Though while there, it was brought up that we could do some fishing. While I did catch this one, I ended up letting the little one back go free. Just had to show my dad that I did catch a fish.
Do you go fishing? What's the biggest fish you ever caught? Please share thoughts, comments and questions below!

The hotel is located just two blocks from the beach which was super duper awesome for me and the price was very reasonable hence the reason I completed my vacation in this hotel and stayed for one week. The rooms are very well equipped with all the basic stuff and installations, very clean as well with TV, fridge and air condition that was working until I left. The meals were very tasty and the restaurant staff served the meals with so much love and smiles. Juan who is the owner of this place is quite helpful and mostly available. There is nothing fancy about the hotel but you will get almost everything you need throughout your stay here, I did. The place has got efficient security and the entire staff I met during my stay here were all amazing. The dining area is just at the verandah overlooking the garden and I just enjoyed the whole local culture vibe going on here. If you want internet access which is available, I suggest you stay in one of the first six rooms that are close to the lobby. The rooms are very clean, spacious and comfortable. The bathrooms in the rooms are clean and spacious as well. If you are looking for a good place that has got charm and nothing too fancy, here is the place for you. I am definitely coming back here when next I visit; I had an awesome holiday here. It is a tidy, safe and nice hotel to stay.

There is no part of your daily-wear that exudes your personal taste better than watches. Even the makers of Mad Men - hired Derek Dire to perfect their timepieces on the show.
From Don Draper's iconic Seamster Deville to Pete's Hamilton Sputnik, Dire helped perfect the portrayal of each character through the finest attention to detail. There are several similar instances in Hollywood, where period dramas were perfected with the touch of an indispensable timepiece.
Watches were never machines that could just tell time. Since the conception of the first watch, it has always signified a person's stature in society, his economic status and it represented his unique taste.
Watches are like an exclusive sneak peek into a person's deeper desires and fantasies. A watch can tell the world who you think you are and who you really are. So, while picking a watch, you cannot simply pick a "run of the mill" design because some actor wore it in a blockbuster or a fashion magazine featured it on their cover.
With phones and smartwatches doing everything from connecting you to people, to telling time, wristwatches must have taken a backseat in your priority list. However, this is also, why it has become a lot easier to make a statement by choosing the right design and style.
How to find the right face?
i. What is your personality like?
A schoolteacher will have a very different personality and choice from an army veteran. And that's exactly what your choice of a wristwatch is all about. First, you need to figure out what kind of a personality you have. If you are outgoing and playful, the designs will be lighter, less serious and will exude a sense of jovial liveliness.
If you are serious and complex, you should possibly go for something heavy. Something a Don Draper would wear in the later days of Mad Men.
ii. Faces speak oodles
You need to watch the face. They are the focus area of any watch and the color, texture; outer rim finishing, crystal covering will help people understand you better. Choosing the perfect watch face cannot be done on fluke. You need to think about the "complications", the chronograph and hour indexes before choosing a model.
Today, most people like sleeker Dress Watches that usually steer clear of chronographs and other "complications". They are thin, circular or rectangular and have very simple hour indexes. Field watches are preferred by many who want something sturdy.
This statement watch was designed during the WWI for officers who had to time their attacks and planning their next strike. They were meant to function and look good while withstanding the rigors of battle.
iii. Strapping it on
The strap is as important as the dial. The material of the strap can tell about your taste in art, your social standing and your economic contribution to the society.
Watch veterans usually go for a pure leather strap, the kind seen in classic Omega watches. The newer generation is showing a tendency to go back to the leather basics once again.
iv. Colors of perfection
If you are a teenager looking for a fix, we won't stop you from picking the fuchsia watch from the lot. But if you are out on some serious business, you should choose a stainless steel, with a face in white, black, deep grey or deep blue.
The deeper colors of the dial make the contrast between the dial and the indexes sharper. This also makes telling time much easier. The sober colors also reflect a stable personality who is capable of handling multiple responsibilities.
White is a staple in almost all watch-enthusiasts watch-drobe. These are classic and they give a neat, vintage appeal. For example, the Braun Classic is a 38 mm, time-only watch with the best minimalistic features possible.
It sports a stark white dial marked with numbers. The face has an hour hand, minute hand and a second hand. This is the most functional watch the world has seen in a while and it undoubtedly takes us back to the basics.
v. Which brands to go for
If you want your watch to be an investment and not an exuberant buy, you should trust an Omega or a Rolex to keep you company. These watches are exuberantly priced because the use the best materials for each piece.
Rolex uses gold, silver and even sapphire to cover the watch face. If you don't want to spend as much, a Shinola or a Filson are good alternatives. These companies make wonderful mid-century, modern watches that go very well with regular office wear.
If you are into high fashion, you will probably want to check out the designs from Audemars Piguet, Ball Watch Co, Baume & Mercier and Blancpain for their 2016 releases. They sport futuristic designs with tech-compatible features.
In reality, brands that have been around for long are quite expensive. However, owning a masterpiece from a world-renowned time-house is a pleasure not every person has been privy too. It is both an expression of personal taste and a smart investment.
One of the other factors you must consider while buying a watch is its dial size. It should not be too big for the wrist. If you are petite, you should go for a more circular, think design that suits your wrist. If your dial is, too large it ends up looking garish. The rule of the thumb is – if your wrist is 6-7 inches in circumference, your watch should have a diameter of 38 mm. if your wrist is larger than 7 inches, you can easily choose a bigger dial that stands between 44-46 mm in diameter.
The best way to pick a watch is to find a piece you like and to try it on.Watches are statement makers and if you want yours to convey the right message, there is no better way to do it than by real, physical trial. You should not buy a watch online just because it's new, trendy or cheap unless you have most definitely tried it on before.

Accidents will happen. That's what hubby says.
We were driving around yesterday morning doing some garage sale hopping. We took Jasmine with us. After the 2nd stop, we were looking for our next turn when I looked at Jasmine in the back seat. There was a bright yellow spot on the fleece bottom of her doggie car seat sling. Uh oh. It was very fresh–I looked underneath the sling and there was a puddle. The fabric hadn't even had time to absorb the liquid.
Oy. We pulled the car over so I could sop up the mess with the paper napkins we had on hand. I was mad. She did a stealth pee right there. No warning, no whining or notice. She had just gone not two hours before. She has never soiled the car before. We went back home, deposited the sling into the washer, cleaned and deodorized the car seat (thank goodness for leather), and went back out–Jasmine stayed home.
I guess she's not a fan of garage sales.

What is Micro-centrifuge?
They are same as the Centrifuge, the only thing is that they carry lesser amount of fluid to test-maximum 2 ml or lesser than that. The liquid samples inserted in the tube spin at a very high speed.
So, what does a micro-centrifuge do?
The main reason they are used is to centrifuge nucleic acid and protein. When we say nucleic acid and protein, it means DNA and RNA. These tests are run in molecule laboratory. Amongst other clinical laboratory it is used excessively in molecule biology section. The samples tested here are very small in quantity, but the big research depends on these quantity only. These tests are performed using Eppendorf tubes. These tubes are specifically made for molecular labs only. These tubes are used in PCR laboratories as well.
Understanding Functions
The tubes inserted in the equipment are small in size. They are built up of plastic, and they are supposed to discard after one use. They are cylindrical in shape. The tubes have different sizes as per the fluid quantity. They come in 0.5 ml, 1.5 ml, 0.2 ml and 2 ml size. The most common tube size is 1.5ml. Disinfection of the tube is possible, but due to small size they are difficult to clean, but inexpensive. So it is better to purchase new one.
The maximum speed of this equipment is 13000 to 15000 RPM (round per minute). The equipment has a button that allows you to set the speed. Alike, centrifuge equipment the balancing of tubes is important-technically it is called sample loading balancing. By balancing we also mean that the quantity we are inserting in one tube should be similar in remaining tubes. Which means if one tube has 1.5 ml fluid, other tubes must consist around same quantity. Sometimes it is seen that the laboratory person has only one sample to test. In that case he can insert water or oil of the same density of the sample in other tubes and run the test.
There are two types of rotor;
- Fixed Angle Rotor
- Swinging Bucket Rotor
The rotor lids come in two types, one is plastic which is helpful in avoiding corrosions and are transparent. Second is built up of steel which is easy to use and much safer. Both have their own advantages, however, metal rotor lids are recommended.
Safety Measures

A deep breath before the Valley of Knowledge
Dear friends,
After the engaged discussion an energetic group of friends from Bolivia, Bulgaria, Chile, Canada, Turkmenistan, and the U.S.A. held during Maya Wong's reflections on Arts Education and its Ability to Empower and Uplift the Human Spirit, we will take a short non-commercial break and resume our prayerful fireside gatherings on August 31st, 2015 when we will come together to immerse ourselves into the Valley of Knowledge:
"In the ocean he findeth a drop, in a drop he beholdeth the secrets of the sea.
Split the atom's heart, and lo! Within it thou wilt find a sun."
~ Bahá'u'lláh, The Seven Valleys and The Four Valleys
Fireside Discussion on "The Valley of Knowledge"
Have you wondered what path our soul traverses and what nurtures it? What makes your heart tender? Prayer, spiritual conversation, meaningful discussion, music, fellowship, tea poured in peace, refreshments shared with smile? Whatever the answer might be, reflecting on uplifting themes, sharing songs, prayers and inspiration with friends gets us all closer to the Creator and recharges us for the days ahead.
We invite you and your loves ones on Monday, August 31, 2015 to an Interfaith Fireside Discussion in Arlington, VA on the theme "The Valley of Knowledge".
We will start at 6:30 pm with light refreshments and continue with a fireside discussion on "The Valley of Knowledge", as described in Bahá'u'lláh' book "The Seven Valleys and The Four Valleys" — a mystical account of the odyssey of the human soul.
Along with the discussion, we will uplift and refresh our souls with inspiring songs and we'll conclude with tea and sweets.
We'll also say prayers for anyone in need, so if you can't join us and would like to request prayers please contact me.
Please let me know if you plan on coming so I can plan the refreshments and send you the directions! Until then, enjoy a musical rendition of "The Valley of Knowledge" by Mona Nourozi, a musician from New Zealand.
Make a great day!
"Let your vision be world-embracing, rather than confined to your own self."
(From the Writings of Bahá'u'lláh)

Basic // OOTD
Before the weather dropped...
Weekend morning errands call for a casual and comfy look! Something easy when you sleep in on a weekend. Loved how comfortable I felt in this look and how warm I was thanks to my favourite wool coat. Since It was early, I threw on my big black shades. These pull the look together and hide my dark circles. Boyfriend jeans to keep me moving easy and a plain black tee, my go-to basic look!

Kaspersky Total Security for Business delivers the most complete platform of protection and management offered in the industry today. Total Security for Business secures everylayer of your network and includes powerful configuration tools to ensure your users are productive and free from the threat of malware regardless of device or location.
Kaspersky has built powerful enterprise-class features into progressive tiers of our off erings, but we've made the technology uncomplicated and simple enough for any sized business.
From one "single pane of glass", the administrator can view and manage the entire security scene — virtual machines, physical and mobile devices alike
Kaspersky Lab developed our console, security modules and tools in-house rather than acquiring them from other companies. This means the same programmers working from the same codebase have developed technologies that talk together and work together. The result is stability, integrated policies, useful reporting and intuitive tools.
All tools are from one vendor, delivered in one installation — so you don't have to go through a new budgeting and justifi cation process to bring your security risks in line with your business objectives.
Combined signature-based, proactive and cloud-assisted detection results in real-time protection. A safe browser and antispam increase the security.
BYOD initiative? Corporate data and applications are isolated in encrypted containers which are transparent to the user. This data can be wiped separately.
Preconfi gure and deploy applications centrally using SMS, email and PC.
SIM-Watch, Remote Lock, Wipe and Find all prevent unauthorized access to corporate data if a mobile device is lost or stolen.
Monitors applications installed on a mobile device according to the pre-defined group policies. Includes a "Mandatory Application" group.
Industry-proven traditional signature-based, proactive and cloud based methods for detecting malware threats
The Kaspersky Security Network (KSN) provides a response to suspected threats, much faster than traditional methods of protection. KSN's response time to a malware threat can be as little as 0.02 seconds!
Advanced in-depth scanning for vulnerabilities combined with the automated distribution of patches.
Central deployment of software to client machines, even to branch offices.
With Network Admission Control (NAC), you can create a network 'guest' policy. Guest devices (including mobile devices) are automatically recognized and sent to a corporate portal where the correct identifi cation password enables them to use the resources you've approved.
Easy creation, storage and deployment of system images from a central location. Perfect for a migration to Microsoft® Windows® 8.
Hardware and software inventory reports help keep control over software license obligations. So you can save on costs by centrally provisioning software rights.
Protects mail on the latest versions of major mail and collaboration platforms: Microsoft® Exchange, IBM®, Lotus®
Domino® and Linux®-based mail servers.
Ensures secure Internet access across the organization by automatically removing malicious and potentially hostile programs in HTTP(S) / FTP / SMTP and POP3 traffic.
Using Kaspersky's cloud-based technology, updates are pushed immediately — reducing spam's ability to become an epidemic. Suspected emails are held and re-checked, which increases the capture rate — and reduces false positives.
Kaspersky defends your SharePoint® servers against malware, while content and fi le fi ltering capabilities help prevent the storage of inappropriate content.
Enables IT administrators to set policies that allow, block or regulate applications (or application categories.
Allows users to set, schedule and enforce data policies with removable storage and other peripheral device controls —
connected to USB or any other bus type.
Means that endpoint-based surfing controls follow the user — whether on the corporate network or roaming.
Real-time file reputations delivered by the Kaspersky Security Network ensure your approved applications are malware free and help maximize user productivity.
Choose from full-disk or fi le level, backed by Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) with 256 bit encryption to secure critical business information in the event of device theft or loss.
Increases your security through policies that enforce the encryption of data on removable devices.
Means users can easily create encrypted and self-extracting packages to ensure data is protected when sharing via removable devices, email, network or web.
Kaspersky's encryption solution is seamless and invisible to users, and has no adverse impact on productivity. No impact on application settings or updates, either.

Mack Avenue Grille
For 25 years, the Mack Avenue Diner was an east side staple. Now, under new owners, it's been handsomely renovated and has an emphasis on fresh ingredients. It's still a diner, of course, with such diner staples as egg dishes, pancakes, waffles and more – served anytime – but it also offers appealing salads, sandwiches, pita wraps and dinner items, also served anytime. There's a bit of a Greek spin under proprietors Louie and Dino Ropotos, including desserts from Astoria Bakery in Greektown.

Hi babes! How are you doing? We had such a great morning today, we started with a pilates workout, near the beach in Uluwatu. We are big fans of such energizing workouts and since yoga is sometimes a bit too spiritual for us, pilates is the best solution. You feel so stretched and full of energy! We have to do some work today, but totally don't mind. We should definitely join such lessons more often 🙂 We have one more look from this cute little café on Gili, where we have been last week. It's from Wolf & Whistle, a brand you must have seen on us many times before. We really love them for their colorful prints, just perfect for the Summer. Now it's time for a late lunch with laptops and answering emails. Have a great afternoon! ❤

(Warning: This is going to be more of a rant than a cohesive essay, but hopefully I can get it to flow good enough.)
This morning I woke to see a huge rumor that Henry Cavill was out as DC's Superman and that in his place Warner Brothers was eyeballing Michael B. Jordan to take his place. I resisted the urge to enter the extremely heated argument going around online about it, and retreated instead to the relative safety of my blog.
Where do I even begin? I'm sure there is some alternate reality in the DC Universe where Superman is African American. I don't follow those comics enough to know one way or the other. However, in every single reality I know of Clark Kent (or his various foreign personas) is a white male who doubles as the Man of Steel. Cavill has been highly praised for his role in the franchise, and anticipation has been high for his return in potential future DCEU movies.
Political correctness has no place when it comes to casting classic characters. Hollywood and the media seems to be hell bent on diversifying every aspect of entertainment that they possibly can, to the point where they care more about political agendas nowadays than they do creativity and originality. Why on Earth would they want to replace Henry Cavill with a black actor like Jordan? Do they not remember what happened the last time he played the role of an iconic, traditionally-Caucasian character? Mind you, there was plenty more wrong with the latest Fantastic Four than just a black Human Torch, but still. That was one of the fiercest criticisms the movie had, and the film was the worst superhero movie in modern times on so many levels. Does Hollywood not have the brains to learn from its mistakes?
There is an international image of what Superman is and what he looks like, an image that has remained untouched for nearly a hundred years. Michael B. Jordan is just about the furthest away from the character that you can get without making him as large as Fat Albert. Especially if his character is a replacement to Cavill's exact same character in the films? How can you even begin to explain that drastic change?
A lot of hardcore liberals will cry out and say that I'm being "racist" because I have issues with a black man playing Superman. I beg to differ. Even the thought of casting Michael B. Jordan as Superman is racism in Hollywood and Warner Brothers' part. Why change an iconic character like that? Politics. Catering to one sect of people over another. Racial favoritism, that's what that is. Superman needs to stay white. I guarantee you there would be an outrage if Black Panther ever got rebooted with a white actor in the role. This is no different. If they want diversity, make the cast diverse. But don't change a character that doesn't need to be changed. That will NOT bode well. At all.

When I look at that what I would call the Perl library at the moment,
the CPAN, I see a whole bunch of modules (more than 14.000 when I
remember my last count), some of them are OO, some are not and we got
several different efforts running at the moment to make the situation,
which is not bad but strange, better.
Thinking about CPAN related projects that is what comes to my mind:
– The Phalanx Project
– The Core Modules
The problem of all this is that we miss a real structure, something I
will call the Perl Standard Library (PSL) from now on.
See, we got all this beautiful modules which all more or less work
with some version of Perl, some OS and some architecture. That is
nice, as most of them work for me, on a Linux i386 box. Other
platforms are hard to tell, e.g. Windows and compiling something can
be really hard.
The Phalanx project choose 100 modules, as I understand it to make it
more or less the testing platform for Ponie, and try to improve them
to be better modules(TM). CPANPLUS is an effort to make the management
of the installed modules easier. CPANTS and testers.cpan.org make it
more easy for the module developers to see their modules tested on
hardware and version they don't have. The Core Modules (and the bad
dual life modules) make Perl pumpkining harder (I guess so) and
improve the basic functionality that Perl has. The Problem is that
some useful modules are not Core (and maybe some useless modules
are in core :-)). The next thing that is important in connection with
module management is my OS vendor, or my Distribution as it is called
in the Linux world. They bring a couple of modules, some CPAN original
and just build for my version of the OS, or some changed ones, because
a Dead Camel did not move and they needed the lib (as Curses.pm was a
long time, at least SuSE, RedHat and Debian had their own patches
because it didn't compile with 5.8.0). This all ends up in a big
BLOB. I can't really tell by heart which modules are installed on my
system, I'm not sure about every version number and can't promise that
something I wrote works on every system. I don't have nothing to
depend on when writing software, I don't have no Library. In my
opinion a language is only as strong as it's library, but the problem
with the library of my favorite language (guess what) is that it's
library is maintained by over 1000 people and it has nothing you can
rely on.
What I want to say is that we should take a bunch of modules (as the
Phalanx Project does), put the together, make it stable at mark it the
PSL for 5.8.1. I don't have a list of modules I want to see in there,
but I think it would be an advantage for Perl if we would take the
material we got, take the material others contribute (like the modules
which the distro vendors choose) and make something up we could depend
on in eternity (or at least for the time Perl exists). When we have
bundled it we could make another effort do restructure it, as I don't
believe that the CPAN structure would fit all the time. Then we can
improve documentation and make everything more homogeneous. One of the
other problems with the CPAN is that there is no document I can think
of that says how to do what with which module. There are many books
out there that recommend many modules, but there is no single "Using
CPAN" book out there that covers all of CPAN.
To make myself clear again, what I would like would be a PSL project,
that provides a big, stable and maybe pure OO library for Perl,
version dependent, with easy to access documentation and that has
obvious responsibilies.
This is just an idea, maybe I have to restructure some parts and think
over others.
Another thing that came to my life lately was that another thing I'm
missing at the moment is easier to install modules. I installed
ID3Lib.pm today just to recognize that it didn't compile because I had
no ID3Lib installed. This is rather obvious but often it's hard to
tell which libraries a Perl module depends on. Maybe this is something
for the META files. The thing that I really didn't like was that the
lib was just a line away (on my Debian) it's just 'apt-get install
libid3'. I'd like to have something like CPANPLUS::Distro::Backend
that would manage such thing for me. It's not very realistic to get
something like that for every system, but if you can say the developer
install lib foo it's more than just a missing include file. Would be
some kind of community effort, but maybe it is possible.
Enough revolutionary ideas for today 🙂

Solo 2 Vaporizer by Arizer$239.99
Pax 3 Vaporizer by PAX$249.99
Product Description
Inventor Markus Storz began developing vaporizers in 1996 and immediately began to file his own patents for proprietary technology. Storz started with the Volcano Vaporizer, a desktop that has gone on to become what many claim is the best vaporizer ever made. Jürgen Bickel, one of the first customers to purchase a Volcano, soon partnered with Storz to form the company as it is known today in 2002. In 2005, these innovators expanded their German operation to America where they continue the brand's fine tradition. The company continues to file its own patents and expand vaporizer technology as they look for ways to improve.
Plenty Vaporizers are engineered with the same care and precision that is a defining element of the Volcano. While priced economically, the Plenty does not skimp on power and features. It is formed primarily of a Hot Air Generator and Vaporization Unit, both featuring the brand's patented designs. Unlike the Volcano, the Plenty does not require pumps or balloons for operation. The result is that it is much quieter and more convenient.
This vaporizer is very compact. It weighs just 1.5 lbs. and measures 7.9" by 6.1" by 2.4 inches. This level of portability has made the unit a favorite of those who have an active lifestyle and like to travel with their vaporizer. A key component of the Plenty is its double helix which facilitates efficient, even heating. This is what accounts for the vast volume of vapor it produces. As vapor rises from the filling chamber it passes through a stainless steel cooling coil to guarantee that your vape is never too hot on the mouth.
Being able to precisely control and monitor temperature is an important consideration for many vapers. The Plenty can vaporize at temperatures between 266°F and 395°F. There is an analog thermometer on the front of the vaporizer which will provide an accurate reading, and the independent temperature control makes adjustments effortless. Everything about this unit is geared toward simplicity of operation. It is user-friendly and can be operated effectively right out of the box by those with limited vaping experience.
Plenty Vaporizer replacement parts may be required from time to time, and GotVape.com has many to choose from. All of the replacement parts offered are OEM and produced in the same manner as the original parts. The brand only uses materials that are food-safe and odor free to promote the utmost in quality. The brand backs all of the product characteristics of the Plenty and its replacement parts with a 3-year guarantee.
If you already own the ever-popular Volcano Vaporizer, you already know how stellar these vaporizers perform. Now, you can experience the same German precision and performance in a handheld unit that consistently receives the highest ratings and reviews from vapers all over the world. To date, more than 100,000 vaporizers from this company have been sold worldwide, and that number continues to grow every year.
While you are shopping GotVape.com for either the Plenty or the Volcano, be sure to check out all of the accessories and products we offer for vaping dry herbs, essential oils, or concentrates. We also have premium tanks, mods, and other traditional vaporizers as well as one of the largest selections of designer e-liquids.

Deadlifts has become my favorite of compound exercises. It's an exercise which full power is required. The more weight I get to add, the more power I must give. The more freeing it becomes. It's just that first rep that momentarily turns me against it. I set up the bar and weights and will look at it knowing the task I have ahead of me. For a moment it seems tedious and fatiguing. I realize the energy I'm about expend on the exercise and on the consequent sets. I take a moment…. A deep breath…. I know what's about to happen and how I will feel as I get to my second set and after completing my deadlifts. I want to push it off for a few moments longer, but that feeling of mind and physical power and freedom, I want it… I must take that first step, start the first rep. Pushing it off even momentarily will only delay this magnificent state of mind that comes after. No time to waste, get in the right position, the correct starting form. I lift that first rep and all consciousness of delay disappears. 2,3,4,15 reps, my first warm up set is done… Now I just want to do more reps. It's all about that first step, jumping in before the notion of the massive task ahead can sink in and cause me to back away. I know how much I want it…. Any delay is simply me losing control and pushing of the inevitable, giving in to the difficulty of the task. The difficulty of the task will try put me off, but I am stronger than it and all it requires is that first step. Take it, take that first step and all is well.

Wow, A Truly Unbelievable Response!
Thank you to the overwhelming response, support and acknowledgement I received on the Throwback Thursday post. It really helps to have the support of others on such journeys. My hope is that at least one person was inspired by it. Life is a constant lesson, learning experience and inspiration not only for ourselves, but for and from those around us as well. Embarking on an unknown journey can take one to unknown destinations. Stay strong on your journey an remember that enjoying the journey is in fact enjoying life.
Key Modifications, Adjustments, and Substitutions
It's important to modify, adjust, or even substitute exercises to fit one's ability, injuries, focus, and goals. Sometimes, It's even worth modifying a movement in order to simply get the best out of an exercise. For example, if you can do a full set of regular pushups, but you can do even more when doing knee pushups, it's worth doing some regular pushups then continuing on to do as many as you can with your knees on the ground. This way, you can get more reps in, and achieve more than with doing less of the complete movement.
In my case, I have had a week of adjusting and substituting my exercises. I recently took a week break (my first real break in over a year) due to a shoulder injury. Recovering from a shoulder injury can take a lot longer than a week, taking away your ability to do most upper body workouts. But personally, I find it difficult to stay away from the gym and upper body exercising for too long. So as my shoulder recovers, I've been adjusting my barbell grips (from my goal preferred wide to narrow) and substituting some exercises (either changing to low weight and high reps or using a barbell instead of dumbells) to keep the movement and pressure on the shoulder to the absolute minimum. This enables me to continue working out while recovering steadily from my injury.
Still it must be done with caution to absolutely ensure the injury isn't worsened and continues to recover. I find that testing an exercise and the weight before jumping into a full set allows you to asses the injury comfort/discomfort and danger levels.
Consistency, Hard Work and Mental Strength
Today, I shared the bench press with someone I don't remember ever seeing at the gym before. He asked me how I was able to lift as much as I was lifting (which wasn't actually too much…I won't lie…it did kind of make me feel good though), and stated that he could only lift a third of the amount. I explained to him that its the effect of three elements: consistency, hard work, and mental strength. I am consistent with my exercises, workout routine, and diet. I don't mess about much during my workout. I work hard and push myself to the limit on every exercise. When I feel I can lift more weight, I add more weight. Often, our mind tells and convinces us that we have reached our maximum. Sometimes, I mentally convince myself that I can't raise my workout intensity or the weight, but I will try it anyway and see how it goes. If I can, I do. If I can't, I don't. Many times it is true, but at times, personally, I know and feel that I can do more. So I simply try it. Don't worry, mental strength will grow with time. Mental strength is necessary for the consistency and hard work, but at the same time, consistency and hard work cause growth in mental strength. It's like a big circle….well, for me anyway.
Would you agree? Have you ever felt the same way when it came to raising your workout's intensity?

Welcome to the first edition of what may or may not be a series of "observations" from a political observer. Whether there are follow ups depends on interest - both yours and mine, so let me know your point of view.
I have my opinions, which those who read my articles and comments on Gather know I tend to state with great verbosity. But mostly I observe. Sometimes this comes in handy, as for example when my observations allowed me to predict the election exactly to the electoral vote (including the first in a lifetime split-off of one Nebraska electoral vote). What I hope to do is offer some observations of the psyche behind political trends and actions (or non-actions). The goal is to better understand how we think politically so that we can together think of how to resolve some of this country's most pressing issues.
I should begin by saying that I wasn't always a political observer. Like most people I have a life (yes, it is true, despite appearances to the contrary). As such there is only so much time for political discourse, much of which is unproductive as people stand on either side of the fence and lob verbal ideologies at each other like grenades. As some so vehemently ascribe, it often doesn't matter much who gets elected, as the wheels of government creak along the same ineffectual path, incrementally inching toward the next reelection cycle.
This election, however, was very different, in large part because of 9/11 and the political gamesmanship that occurred in the aftermath. Virtually everyone in this country was behind the Bush Administration following that fateful day. I was no exception. I wore my flag pin, I placed a US flag in my office window, I supported the routing of bin Laden and the Taliban from Afghanistan. I knew people who died that September day and I understood, as did we all, that action was necessary.
Without going into detail, the period of unanimity began to fade as everyone returned to somewhat normal day-to-day life, though that normality was not the same pre-9/11 normal by any measure. Moreso however, the universality of support was affected most by the actions of the Administration. Since the exact actions could take several pages and would no doubt stimulate significant debate in their own right, I'll suffice to say here that I felt the need for a different way of thinking.
Those who have read me know that I supported Barack Obama for President, but this was not the case from the outset of the campaign. I fully understand that there are legitimate reasons for others to choose another candidate. But contrary to those who say all Obama supporters are "Obamatons" or have some sort of groupie mentality or messiah complex, I began by closely observing all of the candidates, both Republican and Democrat. On the Republican side I felt early on that Romney was the most capable because of his strong business and managerial background and a proven executive track record. Unfortunately the "winner-take-all" nature of the Republican primaries and a bias from the right against his religion nixed his chances. Huckabee seemed like someone who thought deeply and communicated well, but he was unable to convince me that he could govern a diverse nation. Giuliani simply ran an incompetent campaign. I had been a supporter of John McCain back in 2000 and was happy to see him rise to the top, but I was discouraged by the fact that he felt the need to discard his principles in order to get the nomination. Others on the Republican side were simply not broad enough thinkers.
On the Democratic side I assumed, like everyone, that Hillary Clinton would get the nomination. She had name recognition, had shown she was a capable and competent Senator, was an experienced politician in her own right, and perhaps most importantly had access to the Clinton rolodex of donors. All of which should have made her a shoo-in. Unfortunately, she, like John McCain, seemed to lose grasp of the reality that this was to be a "change" election (which we all knew as far back as 2005) and ran on experience. She actually could have been both change and experience and did try that at one point, but frankly ran such a poor campaign from the outset that it, if anything, confirmed she was not the right person for the Presidency at this time. In any case, when I first started observing the Democrats I initially favored Joe Biden. Joe, like me, tends to verbosity and the occasional verbal flub. However, and perhaps presciently, after seeing a few debates I concluded that Biden was better suited to be Vice-President than President. Richardson had by far the most impressive resume but I felt he was not a particularly good communicator nor an expansive enough thinker - both skills I felt were critical for the incoming President. Obama certainly gave a good speech, as we all saw at the 2004 convention, but it was during the debates that I started to see both the expansiveness and inclusiveness of his thinking, as well as his confidence in making decisions. I later came to appreciate his management skills in putting together one of the best run campaigns many of us have seen in our lifetimes. In the end, it was his abilty to think that convinced me he was right for this time and place in history. Those who followed my writings will see that I didn't take sides on any candidate until I made my decision to support Obama. I preferred to observe first, and advocate later.
It is my observations that I hope to communicate with this blog. My intent is not to be partisan, but rather to explore the thinking from different perspectives.

H. Angus Macleod is President of the Thin Film Center Inc. in Tucson, Arizona, and Professor Emeritus of Optical Sciences at the University of Arizona.
The book by Angus Macleod is the fourth edition of the famous textbook written by a world-renowned authority in the field of optical coating. This new edition retains most of the descriptions of older design techniques but also includes a substantial amount of new material. … The book is an excellent treatise of thin film coatings, explaining how to produce all sorts of different filters selected according to the function they are required to play. … The book is an indispensable text for every filter manufacturer and user and is an excellent guide for students.
—Mario Bertolotti, Contemporary Physics, April 2012
Praise for the Third Edition:
… essential reading for all those involved in the design, manufacture, and application of optical coatings. … a valuable addition to many bookshelves.
—Materials World, September 2001
… continues to be a very practical guide.
—ASLIB Book Guide
The third edition is no less rich and includes expanded references and information on many advances in design and technology since the second edition was published in 1986 … a must-have addition to the library of any optical thin-film theorist or practitioner. It provides extensive methods to use in achieving desired optical performance for a broad range of coating types and extensive references for one to use in delving deeper into these topics.
—Dale E. Morton, Denton Vacuum, LLC, SVC News
It is obvious from the details of his career that Angus knows more about optical coatings, both in terms of design and of fabrication, than most of us put together. It is therefore quite expected that I feel free to state that, in my opinion, this book is a necessity, rather on par with having the use of a coating facility, a good coating program, and a fast computer, for anybody in the field of thin-film optical coatings and filters. Therefore, if you are new in this field, your first priority should be to make sure that you have the undivided use of a copy of this book. … All in all, the book is a good statement of the state of the art of thin-film deposition theory and practice at the turn of the millennium.
—Roger M. Wood, Elsevier

Some happy news on the data quality front (yes I'm harping on that quite a bit these days...). We just completed the new Data Watch and Repair solution using the entire OWB technology stack. One of the things we phased when looking at our MDM products was that we need more emphasis on quality of the data. How do we empower the data steward to take charge of data quality.
So we combined forces and worked on something called data watch and repair for master data management. It is a solution using the some exising technology from OWB (the data quality option for data profiling, data rules, data corrections and data auditors) and a new piece, a connector for the MDM products (for CDH, UCM and PIM). The latter is now officially available for OWB (it is part of OWB 22.214.171.124).
Now what makes this so interesting (in my humble opinion)? DWR - don't you love those acronyms! - allows you to leverage the technology we had in house with pre-defined data rules and pre-defined data corrections. This makes your time to market a lot shorter and your data a lot better. The solution follows our best practices and uses the generated corrections to write back data for the master data applications reducing the need to hand code any routines. The DWR solution also ensures you concentrate your effort on profiling and on data rules. These data rules now drive the entire implementation of data quality enabling the previously mentioned generated data corrections.
You will see more and more information appearing. For a first quick glance at DWR take a look at this paper. You will get an idea of best practices around a data quality solution and how DWR first within that picture.
