Dao de Noize – Leaving cherry trees only with leaves
Dao de Noize (Artem Pismenetskii) is Ukraine's premiere ambient/noise artist. He has collaborated with many of the most prolific and well-known noise artists in the world, including Raven, K.K. Null, and Merzbow. He has released work on Ciel Bleu et Petits Oiseaux, Etch Wear, Heart Shaped Box Prod., 4iB Records, and Tongue & Groove Records.
Magnetic Foragers – Test One
London-based duo Magnetic Foragers create brooding experimental compositions of noise and abstract visuals. Layers of sonic and visual textures are punctuated by melody, rhythm and representational images, in immersive improvised performances, short films and video art pieces from sound and video artists James Allard and Tom Brown.
James Allard has been composing music, creating experimental soundscapes and making noise since 2003. His audio and visual work generally explores questions arising from the influence of places and surroundings upon the individual. He also produces music as Absent Asch.
Tom Brown is heavily influenced and inspired by music, he has created live visuals for contemporary and classical musicians and composers. Since leaving video art production company The Gray Circle, Tom has created video installations and live performances including contributions to multidisciplinary shows with composing/directing duo Efthymiou and band The Cabinet of Living Cinema.
Jean-Baptiste Amann – Watching the Moon
Written by Jean-Baptiste Amann, Produced by Lionel Riff in Paris, France 2015.
frst hwiin chrch of mscln – Voice of the Sunrise
The frst hwiin chrch of mscln was founded by the Left Reverend William. He does a lot of drugs and then scrapes metallic objects together. He records those sounds, erases them, and then uses mp3 clips from the internet and digestive sounds to score musick. Voice of the Sunrise is a non-example of this. It is a slightly enhanced version of a performance of gong playing (26″ Zildjian) at a Yoga class.
Neuroharp – E(2)
Neuroharp is a brainwave controlled stringed instrument designed, built and performed by Jamie Gillett. It uses EEG technology to capture neural impulses, transforming them into controls for a stringed sound structure. This is then played alongside other instruments as the basis of varied improvisations.
Programming: Christopher Hill of Build Brighton; Live performance: Anthony Saggers and Jacob Brant.
Greg – Chappaqua – Introspective
Active in Italy between mid-70s and early 80s, GREG represented a daring attempt to overthrow conventional musical canons by researching dream-like and surreal atmospheres through absolute improvisation. This was usual practice in jazz, but at the time not yet as common in rock oriented ensembles. The band used to appear without notice at cultural or political events, building its "Live Inventions on the Spot and off the Mood" in order to create the utmost of surprise. Some of their musical visions were recently resurrected from old tapes and associated with film titles suggested from memories of the band, accomplishing an experimental process opposite to what is usually carried out when it comes to matching music with pictures.
The title of this track was chosen while listening to it many years after the original recording, as it evoked images from that movie. Chappaqua is an experimental 1966 cult film written and directed by Conrad Rooks. The film is based on Rooks' experiences with drug addiction and won the Silver Lion (special jury prize) at the international Film Festival of Venice in 1966 (worth watching if you have a chance as it includes cameo appearances by William S. Burroughs, Swami Satchidananda, Allen Ginsberg, Moondog, Ornette Coleman, The Fugs, and Ravi Shankar).
GREG came from the initials of members
Guido Zurlino = Guitar
Roberto Garnerone = Guitar
Elvio Garnerone = Drums
Gigi Sgargi = Bass
Headloc feat. Jerry Philips – Passage to Hell
Current form: Human
Location: Earth
St. John of Austin – Transcendence Drive
St. John says, "This song was made in the great, vast time of my life known as 4 am… Under the influence of post-rock and a lot of red bull."
Mutiny – Southerner
Mutiny is an Austin, Texas based producer and DJ who wishes to push jungle to the forefront of the Central Texas culture. Southerner was designed as a DJ tool. Some samples stolen from a famous interpretation of a Philip K Dick novel.
Mark Streets – 011
"The most certain test by which we judge whether a country is really free is the amount of security enjoyed by minorities." -John Acton, 1877.

Hot Spot Removal
Data Center Hot Spot Removal
Existing Data Center facilities whether they are enterprise, colocation or cloud based that are of an older generation or only designed for low density operation will all have experienced Hot Spots that the IT engineers or facilities management just cannot solve by getting more and more air to a particular rack or racks, without starving another area or unbalancing the delicate air-flow regulation that has taken hours to settle.
This might be exaggerated by unmanaged cable laying beneath the raised floor, or introduction of other facilities such as chilled water or duct work designed to solve the very issue that it has only exacerbated.
What is the solution to Data Center Hot Spot removal? - rip out the existing perimeter cooling, try dragging air in front outside the room by introducing more duct work, more perimeter cooling with larger fans which only increase air velocity, noise and is only really a sticking plaster?
Place Coolers On The Rear Of The Cabinet With The Most Serious Issues!
The Solution
Why place water on the back of my cabinets, that's madness, I don't have enough chilled water flow to spare the water cooled rear doors!
This Data Center Hot Spot Removal solution solves both the introduction of an Leak Prevention System (LPS) with Rear Door Cooling, placed on the worst offending cabinets will allow you to use the chilled water that has already gone through the perimeter CRAC units. At this point I understand the confusion of using the warmer return water to help cool the facility but it's fact. The LPS and Rear Doors can use the warmer water, from the CRAC, therefore not stealing any additional flow from the chiller system but helping cool the room.
The Rear Door and LPS system work on a sensible cooling basis only and therefore will not suffer from condensation. It will cool the worst offenders, help air flow and solve your hot spot issues.
The Leak Prevention System also gives peace of mind that no leaks will damage or stop your Data Center and therefore remove any risk that your business might perceive from placing chilled water next to your IT equipment. It can be applied to a live system with little or no impact to running operation and is completely safe.
We can now also offer a Rear Door with a DX solution if chilled water isn't available!
Call QCooling on 1-866-307-7333 today and let us help you solve your Data Center Hot Spot problems!

This week, our conference event director, Merrill Oakes had the opportunity to speak live on the North Fulton Business Radio show! As the conference event director, Merrill, was very excited to have this opportunity to tell local listeners about Urban Escape Games and inform them of our newest addition to the company, our conference Escape Game. Our conference Escape Game allows us to bring our Escape Game experience to large conferences or corporate offices, instead of them coming to our facility. We are the only Escape Game company in the country that is able to bring escape games to conferences and host very large groups; we recently hosted a group of 1,400 people!
During Merrill's time on the air he was asked different questions about Urban Escape Games like where the idea came from to start an Escape Games company and about the different themed Escape Games we offer. He then explained our four different themed game rooms which are our FBI Mafia Investigation, Jewel Heist, CDC Lockdown and the Magicians Room. Merrill is also on the design team at Urban Escape Games so he talked a little bit about his background in IT and how he has been able to use that to design the different technology throughout the games. At one point during the interview he was asked if most people that play ours games escape, and the answer is that not everyone escapes our room, because we have a 37% escape rate, but like Merrill said in during the show, "100% of people have a good time and that's what matters most." Teams are always telling us how much fun they had and how Urban Escape Games is the best corporate team building activity they have ever done.

The US Marshals Service, responsible for protecting federal judicial officials, flew in about a dozen deputies from the mainland to provide Watson with 24-hour protection.
Barely hours before Trump's travel ban was due to go into effect on March 15, justice Watson blocked the federal government from enforcing its ban on new visas for people from six mostly Muslim countries and its suspension of the nation's refugee program.
The US president was irked calling Watson's ruling an example of "unprecedented judicial overreach" and said his administration would appeal it.

Coi, Manresa chefs write new cookbooks
Two highly influential chefs pen cookbooks in the same season, and the food community takes note.
"Manresa" is David Kinch's debut book, and "Coi" is Daniel Patterson's second; he co-wrote "Aroma" in 2004. But, as suggested by their titles - they're named after their four-star Bay Area restaurants - these are as personal as either chef is likely to get on the page.
With their improvisational, ethereal styles, it's almost as if Kinch and Patterson consented to write down recipes in order to tell their stories.
Jotting down how many grams of squid ink or vegetable stock is used in his Earth and Sea dish allows Patterson to write about his days living on the western edge of San Francisco, what he calls "end of the continent," discovering the area's native plants. Kinch painstakingly details a 5-component recipe for pork belly with green tomato verjuice in order to wax poetic on Manresa's sense of place.
But in doing so, they've created books that appeal to two vastly different readers - the ambitious chefs who might actually take these tomes into the kitchen, and the everyday food enthusiasts who are finally able to catch a glimpse of these chefs' worlds, if only on paper.
Patterson writes he might not be the best-trained cook from a technical standpoint, but that he's "really good at seasoning food." And that's not just about adding salt, he writes, but about managing acidity and using bitterness to create balance.
This has always been reflected in his menu at Coi, where he relies not on butter, cream or other fats to fix flavors, but rather on properly seasoning the ingredients he so scrupulously sources, and often cultivates.
Take his carrots roasted in coffee beans, for example, which only use a handful of ingredients but are, as The Chronicle Food & Wine staff found upon testing, one of the most interesting dishes we've tried.
Roasting the carrots on a bed of dark coffee beans gives the dish a bitter edge against the sweetness of the vegetable, and a broth of mandarin and carrot juice lends that much-needed acid. It's representative of the type of recipes in the book.
Of course, the term "recipes" should be used loosely. These are stories of how each dish was created, what inspired them, and what he was thinking, or doing, when each dish came to be.
He describes methods for working through the recipe in a narrative fashion alongside short but detailed essays. And for the most part, the recipes are out of reach for the average cook - due, in no small part, to the ingredients he uses, like bull kelp, angelica root and lichen.
The real draw, however - aside from the beautiful photos - is that Patterson has written the book himself, which is rare for a restaurant chef. His illustrative, bookish style makes for a fun and interesting read, at times inspiring and instructive, and only sometimes a bit preachy.
This is the first American book from Phaidon, a British publisher known for comprehensive international volumes. It makes perfect sense that Patterson - with his wide-reaching influence on modern American cuisine - would be the pioneer.
Taking an armchair trip to a restaurant via its cookbook is what most food-obsessed people do when they can't eat there in person. But in the case of "Manresa," there's an element of frustration. After paging through the book, a reader might long to live among the fields and farms of the pastoral Santa Cruz Mountains, so much is it a love letter to the region's surrounding landscape and climate .
In the early pages, Kinch discusses his relationship with Cynthia Sandberg and her Love Apple Farms, which supplies Manresa's ingredients and paved the way for the restaurant to blossom into what it is today. Before Love Apple, Manresa was "just another restaurant trying to be a part of California cuisine."
Anyone who has eaten at the restaurant lately knows it's now at the forefront. And given its off-the-beaten-path location, the book is the first chance for many to see what Kinch has been doing all these years.
Kinch advises the reader to use the recipes as inspiration rather than instructive guides. For a Manresa classic, for example - the Arpege farm egg - we adapted the dish to suit a home cook. While Kinch serves his version in hollowed-out egg shells, ours is done in demitasse cups that are much easier to work with.
With recipes laid out in a methodical, step-by-step format, it's fun to watch as Kinch pushes the boundaries on flavors - think chamomile curd with clams, beans and mushrooms; or tomatillo panna cotta.
We do get the occasional straightforward dish, like his signature sea salt and vanilla caramels or shrimp with salted butter and apple brandy. But for the most part, this book is meant for the coffee table rather than the kitchen counter. Either way, we're sold.
"Coi," by Daniel Patterson (Phaidon; 304 pages; $49.95).
"Manresa," by David Kinch, with Christine Muhlke (Ten Speed Press; 327 pages; $50).
Arpege Farm Egg
Serves 8
Adapted from "Manresa," by David Kinch with Christine Muhlke (Ten Speed Press; 328 pages; $50). At the restaurant, Kinch cooks and serves this dish inside a hollow egg shell. For home cooks, we've adapted it to serve in a demitasse cup. Using the freshest eggs you can find is essential. Kinch also uses aged maple syrup. If you can't find that, any pure maple syrup is fine.
- 7 tablespoons cold heavy (whipping) cream
- 1 teaspoon sherry vinegar
- -- Scant 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt + more as needed
- 8 farm-fresh eggs
- -- Fleur de sel, for garnish
- -- Ground ginger, for garnish
- 1 tablespoon thinly sliced chives
- -- Maple syrup, for garnish (may be flavored with bourbon or vanilla)
Instructions: Combine the cream, sherry vinegar and salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk until the cream begins to thicken. Adjust the seasoning by adding a pinch of salt, if necessary. Whisk until the cream forms soft peaks. If you have a pastry bag, spoon the cream into it and tie the top of the bag. If not, set the cream aside until ready to use. If not using the cream immediately, store in the refrigerator.
Select a pot that will fit 8 demitasse (espresso) cups. Pour in about 1 1/2 inches of water. Bring the water to 176°, or a gentle simmer; adjust the heat to maintain this temperature.
Separate the egg yolks from the whites; reserve the whites for another use.
Put each yolk into the bottom of a demitasse cup. Season with a pinch each of fleur de sel and ginger. Scatter with chives, dividing the chives among the cups.
Place the cups into the simmering water. Simmer about 2 minutes, until the yolks are stable at the perimeter and a little bit looser at the center. You can let it go a little longer if you want the yolks cooked more.
Remove the cups from the water and dry the outsides. Pipe or spoon the sherry cream over each yolk, dividing the cream equally between the cups. Drizzle 5 or 6 drops of the maple syrup in a circle on top of the cream.
Serve immediately with a demitasse spoon, instructing diners to dig all the way to the bottom to eat the egg.

Carrots Roasted in Coffee Beans
Serves 4
Adapted from "Coi," by Daniel Patterson (Phaidon; 304 pages, $49.95). We've made the dish family style, served with the broth on the side to pour over the vegetables. We assume Patterson presses his juice fresh for this dish. If you don't have a juicer, it's fine to mix bottled carrot juice with freshly squeezed mandarin or orange juice.
- Roasted carrots
- 12 ounces carrots, mixed colors
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- -- Kosher salt, to taste
- 6 ounces dark roast decaffeinated coffee beans
- Pickled carrots
- 2 1/2 ounces young carrots, sliced thin
- 2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- -- Kosher salt, to taste
- Carrot-mandarin broth
- 1/2 cup carrot juice
- 1/2 cup mandarin or orange juice
- -- Rice wine vinegar, to taste
- -- Kosher salt, to taste
- -- Picked mint, for garnish
- -- Olive oil, for serving
Instructions: Preheat the oven to 350°. Clean the carrots well, but leave the skin on. Cut into even-sized pieces. Toss with the olive oil and season with salt.
Spread the coffee beans in the bottom of a covered baking dish. Scatter the carrots over the beans, and place the cover on top. Bake until very tender, about 45 minutes - 1 1/2 hours, depending on the size and thickness of the carrots. If they are not already cut into bite-size pieces, do so after removing them from the oven.
Meanwhile, mix the sliced young carrots with the rice wine vinegar and salt to taste. Let sit until ready to use, tossing occasionally.
Combine the carrot juice and mandarin or orange juice. Add rice wine vinegar and salt to taste. You want the juice to be mostly sweet with a gentle but persistent acidity. Add more carrot or mandarin juice, if needed, to round out the flavor. Heat until just warm and check seasoning again.
Serve the warm roasted carrots in bowls, topped with the pickled carrots and sprigs of mint. Serve the broth alongside, with olive oil for drizzling.
Per serving: 124 calories, 1 g protein, 15 g carbohydrates, 7 g fat (1 g saturated), 0 mg cholesterol, 52 mg sodium, 3 g fiber.

"The most groundbreaking TV series ever"
-Rolling Stone
Arriving December 5, Blu-ray and DVD Releases to Include
18-Part Series and a Wealth of Exclusive Special Features
"The stars turn and a time presents itself…"
HOLLYWOOD, Calif. (November 13, 2017) – Hailed as "brilliant...an uncompromising work of art" (Entertainment Weekly), TWIN PEAKS: A LIMITED EVENT SERIES will arrive December 5 as multi-disc Blu-ray and DVD collections from Showtime Networks, CBS Home Entertainment and Paramount Home Media Distribution. Both collections include all eighteen (18) parts of the acclaimed SHOWTIME limited event series directed entirely by four-time Oscar® nominee David Lynch, plus over six (6) hours of special features which take fans behind the red curtain for an up-close, exclusive look at the making of "the best show on TV" (Vulture). Over eighty (80) minutes of additional behind-the-scenes content will be available exclusively on the Blu-ray release.
Appearing on both the Blu-ray and DVD collections, IMPRESSIONS: A Journey Behind the Scenes of Twin Peaks is a series of ten (10), approximately thirty (30) minute films directed by longtime Lynch documentarian and friend Jason S.
(Interview Project), who was given unparalleled access to document the making of the series. Each of these ten (10) films capture the triumphs and tribulations of a master director and true artist at work. The collections also include Phenomenon, a three-part featurette in which series cast and crew join artists, musicians and creative personalities to reflect on the enduring legacy of Twin Peaks; the Twin Peaks panel at San Diego Comic-Con® 2017, moderated by Damon Lindelof (The Leftovers, Lost) and featuring Lynch's on-camera introduction; series promos produced by Lynch for SHOWTIME, as well as one for in-cinema play; a grouping of all eighteen (18) different Rancho Rosa (the series' production company) logos from the top of each part; and a behind-the-scenes photo gallery. Lastly, through seamless branching, both Part 1 and 2, and 3 and 4 of the series are included individually, as well as in combined feature-length presentations, as they were originally shown on Showtime in the U.S.
For fans who want the definitive version of TWIN PEAKS: A LIMITED EVENT SERIES, the Blu-ray, featuring deluxe packaging, will contain three additional behind-the-scenes films. The independent filmmaker, photographer and Twin Peaks' Ben Horne - Richard Beymer - directed two compelling featurettes, Behind the Red Curtain and I Had Bad Milk in Dehradun, that follow Lynch and company as they shoot in the Red Room. In A Very Lovely Dream: One Week in Twin Peaks, filmmaker Charles DeLauzirika, who has produced and directed numerous featurettes for previous Twin Peaks home entertainment products, documents a week on the set when the cast returned to Snoqualmie and North Bend locations from the original series 25 years later.
Starring Golden Globe® winner Kyle MacLachlan (Blue Velvet, Dune), the SHOWTIME 18-part series picks up 25 years after the inhabitants of a quaint northwestern town were stunned by the shocking murder of their homecoming queen Laura Palmer.
TWIN PEAKS is written and executive produced by series creators Mark Frost and David Lynch, and is executive produced by Sabrina S. Sutherland.

Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
A lovesick man who writes greeting cards for a living reflects on the year and a half that he spent with a charming young woman named Summer who doesn't believe in "true love."
I avoided this film for 7 years, afraid it would wreck me, or mirror far too closely my own love life> I was not wrong.The film caught me off guard for a number of reasons, mainly that it's a dark drama rather than a typical 'boy-loses-girl' rom-com. I sensed the script felt too real to be fiction: after some research I uncovered that the writer had actually lived through such an unrequited fling. I lost it when[cnt]
It got the praise it deserved upon its release, but looking back, it should've been hailed as an instant classic. Because that's exactly what this is— an American classic. The writers craft a beautiful, deeply thoughtful, and— despite what Webb's inventive imagery might indicate— grounded look at how people (mostly men) fantasize about love and relationships. It's also one of the best scripts you'll ever read.
takdir dan belahan jiwa,cinta sejati. Dan semua dongeng masa kecil itu omong kosong,pada dasarnya tak ada yang namanya keajaiban. Tak ada yg namanya takdir. Tak ada yang ditakdirkan....itu pas pertengahan film point yng gw tangkep,tapi pas akhir2 cerita muncul lagi pertanyaan dikepala gw..di endingnya itu lo,Apakah itu kebetulan atau takdir? Sulit untuk dijawab dan merupakan misteri...eh,ini spoiler apa bukan ya??
Not that good, I found it full of clichés and sometimes a little fake. Forgiving her easily cause she was being herself and she promised him nothing doesn't make a lot of sense, they made things sound so black and white. The soundtrack was a little annoying but the film structure was good and entertaining.
So much dislike for this film! I guess not a lot of people have/had broken hearts. Or, for that matter, been in a lot of relationships. I completely connect with it. It's the Annie Hall for the Facebook generation.
Though it's not without its cloying moments of indie quirkiness, it surprises with real insightful emotional authenticity and narrative inventiveness. Basically 'Annie Hall' re-packaged for the hipster generation, but it works due to the strong cast and smart writing.
Narratively speaking, 500 Days of Summer is as successfully experimental as Annie Hall and Groundhog's Day. Additionally, the mock-independent is as smartly, innovatively rich as the classic romantic features it references; only its resolution is tainted by mainstream over-development. See this film for its psychological subtlety, playfully underrated performances, and its charming and chastising realism.
"waaa waaa he listens to the smiths, he's so cool! waaa waaa he's karaoke-ing to the pixies, he's so cultured! waaa waaa this movie is so indie!" I suppose the filmmaker's intention was to pull out that kind of reaction from the audience.

"Ever since I've known Betty (and that goes back decades), she's always had a knack for creativity and an eye for composition. Once she and her camera became inseparable, I was privileged to see the consistent high quality of the nature photographs she was taking. From her breathtaking subdued light photo of a black panther with his eyes practically glowing, to the perfectly timed shot of a bald eagle in flight just as the bird and Betty locked eyes, to her dramatic photo of a swan gracefully gliding above a reedy marsh in the late afternoon light, I realized that she had found her true passion and calling. Just check out her amazing Arctic tundra pictures of a polar bear named Bob and you'll see what I mean!"

Lockdowns and extra penalties are simply to discourage the ST (speaking meta gamer of course ) and you said you did not want to disadvantage attackers too much. The percentage of destruction can be adjusted a bit I suppose. A way of speeding the action could be to link identical ships and saying that you remove the percentage to be destroyed. So if the bugs attacked with 150 identical CLs (I know they didn't )and the percentage was 30%, just remove 45 units. Or roll 150 times.
One thing about the original system is that it was easy to work out. Any replacement hopefully will be the same.
Yes, that's very much my intent here ... simplicity. The original ST model was fairly simple. I want to be at least as simple, if not more so.
I'd like to remove the pairing-up part of the process. It takes time, and it creates a presumption that all IP destruction is always occurring in pairs, which it would not. My intention is to have a single 1d10 die roll per individual ship, though with the same '3' or less on 1d10 indicating the ship was destroyed. And even if a single ship is destroyed, it will be presumed to be lost in transit due to unknown causes, rather than forcing the loss of a second ship.
And even if one wants to merely wipe out 30% of the ships in the ST, they should take 30% of each group of exactly similar ships, by hull type, by ship class, even down to by crew grade. I must say though, that it might take almost as long to do it this way than it might be to just make the die rolls, since determining all the various differences and applying the loss rate without die rolls might be a lengthier process than people realize, if the ST wave is a mish-mash of various hull types, ship classes, and crew grades.
I do have a question. Are WP capacities and ST survival determination worked out per impulse or per turn?
Per impulse.
Though I don't recall reading in the 2 ISW4 novels where any ST's were carried out in multiple impulses over a turn or more. They were always just big wave. Oh, at 2nd Centauri, there were 2 Bug ST waves ... one to start the battle, and a final one, but they were many turns apart, with a lot of battle and a lot of ships making normal "serial" transits in between.

The deadline for completing the Smiths Gore GWCT Shoot Benchmarking survey is fast approaching with Friday 24th April the last chance for you to submit your return.
This FREE and confidential survey is the only one of its kind and allows shoot owners to evaluate their performance and compare it to similar shoots.
Click here to complete the survey online >
Why should you take part in the survey?
David Steel, Head of Sporting at Smiths Gore:
"Our benchmarking can help in-hand, syndicated and let shoots of all sizes. Last season's results gave shoots a clear indication of areas for improvement and refinement, including gamekeeper salaries and benefits, fixed costs, return rates, costs per bird released and prices charged per bird shot.
"Since 2009, hundreds of shoots have benefitted from taking part, and we hope that many more shoots will participate this season. Their personalised report includes benchmarks only available to participants."
Roger Draycott, Head of Advisory Services at the Game & Wildlife Conservation Trust:
"Shoots take part in the survey for a number of reasons. Private shoots want to check that their costs are under control and shoots that let days out want to check how their charges compare with others. The survey provides useful information on how shoots sell days, the pricing model they use, and once costs are taken away from income, how their bottom line compares with others.
"It is important the sector can demonstrate that there is good environmental care in place on shoots so we have included questions on habitat management and wild birds, to provide a better understanding of the conservation work shoots are doing on the ground."
All participants will also be invited to an exclusive seminar, site visit and BBQ at the GWCT's Allerton Project farm on 3 September 2015, hosted by expert GWCT and Smiths Gore staff.

Beauty | Elf Studio Blush
There aren't many beauty lovers out there who haven't heard of the Elf Studio line, it has some gorgeous beauty bargains for but a fraction of the price. My most recent purchase during one of their half-off sales included these two beauties talked about in my Elf Cosmetics Haul, the Elf Studio Blush in Twinkle Pink [left] and Candid Coral [right].
The packaging is blatantly inspired Nars, it's matte black and even comes with it's own mirror - it's surprisingly fetching for a beauty product costing just £3.95 and you do get a fair amount of product for your money.
Twinkle Pink is said to be a rather good dupe for Nars Orgasm in colour but it's minute gold flecks fit more with the texture of Nars' Super Orgasm. It's a really pretty romantic blush for the summer that has an illuminating effect - meaning you can skip the highlighter - so is not one for those who prefer a more matte finish. It my opinion, it reminds me a lot of a toned down Sleek Rose Gold Blush, which makes it a lot more blendable and wearable for those of us with pale skin.
Can I sum up my love for this blush in just a paragraph? Compared to Twinkle Pink, Candid Coral looks rather unflattering and dark sat in the pan. It lacks to golden flecks and instead opts for more subtle golden dust that leaves a subtle sheen but I much prefer it for a more mature finish and since purchasing a couple of months ago it has become my new go-to blush and I have featured it in a lot of FOTDs.
I cannot recommend these blushes enough and for the price you can't really can't complain, I can't wait to expand my collection and already have my eye on the - constantly sold out - Peachy Keen, Pink Passion and Mellow Mauve.

Brain Tumor Diagnosis – All You Need To Know
You can't detect a brain tumor by checking a list of symptoms. Yeah, there are certain symptoms but most often they are caused by anything else than brain tumors. The most common symptoms are headaches but there are a hundred things out there that could cause those symptoms including stress or alcohol or bad food or almost anything.
Also if you woke up in the kitchen and forgot why you were there it does not mean you have a brain tumor. If this was the case almost anyone would have a brain tumor. It is the same for nausea and vomiting. They can be caused by lots and lots of things.
The changes in hearing, speech and vision are scarier but it's nothing that could tell you for sure you have a brain tumor. To know if you have a tumor you need a physical exam and many tests. Other symptoms associated with brain tumor are muscle twitching or jerking, problems walking and balancing, tingling in the arm or leg.
To get a proper diagnosis your neurologist in aventura florida will examine your coordination, vision, alertness, muscle strength, hearing, and reflexes. Your doctor will examine your eyes too looking for damage to the nerves that connect your eyes to the brain. It could be because of a by a tumor causing a swelling that presses on the nerve.
Many times an MRI scan is necessary. The MRI is a big machine that takes pictures of your brain. Sometimes they use a special dye injected into your blood to show differences in the brain tissue.
And the MRI is not the only big machine you'll have to go through. A CT scan might be necessary too. Simply put it's an X-ray machine that also takes pictures of your brain. And contrast material could also be injected in your veins. Usually when they ask for a second MRI scan or for more scans of your brain it's a sign something's wrong. There's something bad inside your brain. The angiogram is pretty similar to the other two procedures described before. I mean it also involves a dye injected into your veins and an X-ray scan, sort of.
Spinal tap is another test necessary to diagnose a possible brain tumor. This means the doctors will remove a small sample of cerebrospinal fluid. It a scary procedure thought it is performed with local anesthesia. The doctor will be using a long needle to remove liquid from your spinal cord. It takes about 30 minutes. And it's not funny at all as you'll have to lie flat for a few hours after the procedure is finished to avoid headaches.
Anyway the only way to tell for sure if you have a brain tumor or not is biopsy. The biopsy means a surgeon will drill a hole in your head and insert a needle in your brain and sample brain tissue or cells. Then they will analyze the sampled tissue under the microscope to check for any abnormal cells. Many times MRI or CT is used to guide the needle.
Hopefully you won't have to deal with that. But if you have to deal with that and you are diagnosed with brain tumor you'll need specialist assistance from a neurologist for better understanding of your problem and for better treatment.

What: ActionONE silent auction and slideshow, featuring Blake Jorgenson, Bruce Rowles, Crispin Cannon and Kurtis Croy.
Where: Garfinkels
When: Dec. 5 at 8 p.m.
Tickets: $10
The majority of the worlds scientists believe the earths climate is changing, that global weather systems are no longer completely natural, and that human factors like greenhouse gas production are part of the reason some regions are experiencing global warming.
But if people are one of the causes of global warming, can the same people work together to reverse the trend?
According to Marie Fortin of HillTrip and Ian Bruce of the Alpine Club of Canada, the answer to that question is "yes". And who better to start with than the people who live, work and play in the mountains.
"Im just in love with the mountains, and thats what HillTrip and this fundraiser is all about," said Fortin, HillTrip founder and the organizer of the ActionONE slideshow and silent auction this Sunday. The proceeds from the event will go to support the Melting Mountains campaign by the David Suzuki Foundation and the Alpine Club of Canada (ACC), as well as future HillTrip projects. The highlight of the night will be a series of slideshows by some of the top photographers from the area: Blake Jorgenson, Bruce Rowles, Crispin Cannon and Kurtis Croy, will be putting on slideshows.
In addition to the slideshows, representatives from the Melting Mountains campaign will be on hand with a display and a short presentation. They will be back to make a full presentation, including new data collected by Environment Canada and others, in February.
The name ActionONE comes from Fortins own desire to take action, as well as to encourage people to take some action. "Theres been a lot of talk and a lot of education, which is good but I want to be able to take action, too. Most of the people who worked with me on this think the same way, they love the mountains, they love the snow, and want to do something," said Fortin.
The name also stems from the fact that this is Fortins and HillTrips first project. Managing HillTrip has become her third job, but Fortin hopes to make it her career. One side of it will always be non-profit, raising money for climate change education and events, and the other side will work with resorts, hotels, touring companies, the snowsports industry and other mountain-related companies to help them develop their own plans to reduce emissions.
"The business model is changing, especially in communities like Whistler. There will always be the economic side, but companies are starting to look at issues like sustainability as well, which means the triple bottom line social and environmental bottom lines as well as economic," said Fortin.

We have spoken a lot about balancing the body's pH as a method of controlling the symptoms of rosacea and managing the skin's response to rosacea triggers. There are many ways this can be achieved. Our body acts in many ways as a complex system of checks and balances and when operating at its optimum levels, controlling rosacea symptoms is a very easy task. Our body naturally neutralizes acids through a system of controlled buffers or processes. The body expels some acids through the basic process of breathing. As we exhale, we release carbon dioxide from the lungs, the carbon dioxide is a by-product of the body filtering and processing the oxygen we breathe. The carbon dioxide is acidic and through exhaling we release or remove these acids from the body. Some acids from the foods and beverages we consume are excreted through the kidneys and colon. As we perspire we expel acids through our sweat.
As long as we never take in more than our body can comfortably expel, this process works perfectly to control and maintain an optimum balance within the body. The balance can be disrupted when we consume more acids than the body can easily expel or when the body in under stress from illness, lack of sleep, or hormonal issues. It is at these times that we experience an increase in our reaction to rosacea triggers and find that our symptoms of facial redness, skin dryness, irritation pimple sand papules tend to flare.
The body maintains natural hormonal levels to aid in balancing the alkaline/acidic balance. One of these hormones; cortisol peaks in the early morning as its levels are replenished through adequate sleep and rest. This is why we often notice that our rosacea symptoms are less prominent in the morning and seem to worsen as the day progresses. When our sleep patterns are disrupted, the cortisol levels are also disrupted causing the pattern of balance to be affected. Once the pattern is disrupted the body can get into a pattern of imbalance that can cause the skin to over react to our rosacea triggers creating a more sever flare in symptoms.
You may wish to visit our Rosacea Cause and Cure page to learn more methods of achieving and controlling the pH balance to better manage your rosacea symptoms.

Title: Degenerates Ink
Also known as:
Year: 2010
Genre: Independent / Exploitation
Language: English
Runtime: 63 min
Director: Jim Stramel
Writer: Jim Stramel
IMDb: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1956470/
A gang of low-life tattooists drive around in their van, killing bad customers in order to take their money.
Our thoughts:
I should start this review by saying that I am totally for the use of "tattsploitation" with a movie like this. In fact, tattoos should get more room in horror movies to begin with, it's certainly something that people are interested in. There should be a movie that makes people scared of tattooists like some movies have made people scared of dentists and doctors. "Degenerates Ink" is definitely not the movie for that - it's not a horror movie in that sense. It's not slow-brewing or subtle enough for that, instead it's just quick to the kill and then moving on.
The story literally ends after this sentence: tattooists drive around in a van and they kill people. That's the story. It's all there is to it, really! Sure, we get some details about how they hate TV tattooists (which I thought was pretty funny - but of course a film like this had to bring that up, wouldn't have worked any other way) and all that, but it's nothing that becomes an important part of the movie. The movie starts with some customers, it slowly moves towards them killing people, and then it literally ends. The ending is entertaining in a silly way, though. I mean, it's fucking ridiculous and it just doesn't fit or make sense, but that's why I sort of enjoyed it. It was absurdly retarded!
One thing that made this movie less interesting than it could've been was that the characters didn't seem very scary, and the kills were tame. The needle should've been used a lot more as a murder weapon - maybe even go to the extreme of torturing the victims with it. Too many people were killed with hits or whatever, and it just didn't satisfy. It should've focused on getting one person in a small space, with one tattooist, and have him attack people's fears when it comes to tattooing. Maybe just sticking the needle too deep, or shoving it into places you don't want it (under the nails!). "Degenerates Ink" focused more on being a trashy, more straight forward slasher where they just kill the victims however they can at that moment, and then move on to next victim.
With the story being as compact as it was in this movie, and the runtime being an hour, there's not much I can tell you about the movie. Can you blame a movie like this for not having a good plot? I don't know. It's obviously grown out of the 70's exploitation genre and it has a short runtime so we never get time to be bored by it. But did I like it? I didn't really. I mean, to some extent, yeah, it wasn't boring and that very, very vital. I should say that I was much more interested in the trailer they included for "The Thrillbillys". That looked like hella fun in all its scratchy grit. "Degenerates Ink" is bound to get some love out of some selected people, it's not terrible, but overall I think the filmmakers should move on to another movie and put some focus on getting it to have a good, working plot. They say it's "a movie about tattooin' and killin' - and tattooin'", and I guess that's true.

How did summer go by so quickly? It seems like 5 minutes ago that all my teenage clients were ecstatic because June had finally arrived. It was only going to be a few more days and a few more projects, and then they were home free. Now school has either already started, or will be within a few days depending on which district you're in.
Let's make this year a great year for your teen! Here are some things I've observed other teenagers doing that help them sincerely enjoy their school experience.
1. Get involved at the school. Teenagers who play a sport for their school, are in ASB, actively partake in a school club, go to the football games, attend school dances, join the yearbook staff, write for the newspaper, or some other extracurricular activity that is part of their school like it much better. This has been true every single time I've worked with a client who is involved at school. The ones who don't really feel like they contribute somehow are just passing time.
2. Take classes at the appropriate level. There are a great number of you who push your teenagers to take honors or AP classes whenever possible. The homework load and pressure in these classes is immense. Know your child well enough to see which subjects they really enjoy, and which ones they hate. Push where they have natural interests and talents, and back-off where they don't. It is much better for your teenager to enjoy being a student than hate school and constantly feel overwhelmed. Even if this means your son or daughter won't get into as good of a college as they otherwise might have, they are more likely to have a healthy overall balance in their life; this is good practice for an enjoyable life, which seems more important than the most prestigious university.
3. Manage the screen time. Teens really want their privacy, and these days a huge part of that is having their own electronic devices. They generally believe you as a parent have no right to look at their devices or set limits on when and how they're used. After working with more teens than I can count, I would say it seems about 90% of them mismanage technology. They use it too often, and it uninhibits their social interactions. Technology can help complete homework faster, but is often a distraction for your teenager. They are texting while they do their math, reading a website about their favorite band while studying, or just falling down the rabbit-hole of internet searches and Youtube videos. It really makes completing homework assignments take forever. It also allows them to say things to people they would never say in person. Teenagers who are limited by their parents on how often, and what they can do with their devices are actually happier (even if they argue about it).
I strongly encourage you to try these three things with your adolescent as they return to school this Fall. Getting involved at school, taking classes that are a fit for their interests and abilities, and managing screen time are all simple changes to make that can really help the quality of the school-year.
Helping teens grow and families improve connection,
Lauren Goodman, MS, MFT

It's not as if fighting for justice, truth, and peace was ever practical in a star-spangled swimsuit [armored or not]. But it appears that one of my favorite icons is getting a makeover courtesy of the brains behind Babylon 5. I always did appreciate the complexity he wove into that series, but that doesn't make me particularly enthusiastic about how he'll treat Wonder Woman. Initial reports are that the Amazons and their homeland are getting the axe [again], and that seems like cutting off the mythology at the knees.
F'goshsakes — the kink was supposed to be bondage [for character-building purposes], not mutilation. <sigh> O tempore, o mores! [Alas, I can't say that in Themiscyran…]
Geeky Admission: Given that the architecture of Themiscyra was always on the classical Greek model, part of the fun was imagining if they'd have the missing documents of Aristotle and the Sophists hiding somewhere in their library…
And of course, this discussion wouldn't be complete without some link love to GayProf's essay on this subject.

exim taking forever to start
I ran into troubles with exim4 on debian taking forever to start. Strace'ing it revealed it was trying to look itself up using DNS, ignoring what was in /etc/hosts and /etc/nsswitch.conf. I was testing a box before I hooked to a network that had a DNS server running. Commenting out everything in /etc/resolv.conf took care of things. What if I only wanted exim4 for local delivery, which I did? BTW, it also makes logging in with ssh a lot faster as sshd is doing reverse lookups.

During a conversation once that needed further discussion a friend said, "Call me at 6:38 p.m. tonight and we'll talk more about it." My brain blew up. 6:38? What if I call you at 6:37 or 6:39? Will you not accept my call? But I thought it was just this one person being OCD ad nauseum until I overheard a co-worker the other day say that she had to call someone at 8:17 p.m. Is this a trend? Just so you know, I operate in 'ishes,' as in, "I'll call you about five-ish." Five-ish means anywhere between 4:45 and 5:15. Five-ish is also when you can grab a clue card at any participating shop on Broad and turn it back in for a chance to win prizes. If you follow the newest latest trends, make that 5:16 p.m. so that I can get a head start.

From the moment he slid in the 2005 NFL Draft, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has seemingly been searching for respect.
Now that he's found it, he seems unsure what to do with it.
From the gigantic contract to the general consensus that he's the best quarterback in the league, the world has caught up, to the extent that teammates view him as an icon as opposed to the guy who hands them the ball.
"My first impression was more of a fan's reaction," rookie running back Eddie Lacy told Jarrett Bell of USA Today. "I'm in the huddle with him, and I'm thinking, 'This is Aaron Rodgers.'"
The man himself seems uncomfortable with that degree of adulation.
"That gives you a good perspective on how things can change," Rodgers said. "Getting called 'sir' by some of these young guys is kind of silly, too. I'm not even 30 yet. Let's relax on the 'sir' part, OK?
"But I appreciate the respect."
From afar, that quest for the approval of others seems ingrained in Rodgers' personality. But now that he's won all the awards and earned all the money, he has to find new things to shoot for, even if he's inventing them.
"I love it when people are not talking about us," Rodgers said. "It's good for us. We're a small-market team with a blue-collar, community attitude. We enjoy it when people are talking about other teams and we can skate under the radar."
While it's hard to find the people who are underestimating Rodgers and the Packers, it seems to work for him, so perhaps it's best to let him own it.
Just don't call him sir.

This YouTuber's Prank On Friend Ends Up Being Disgustingly Homophobic
3 October 2016, 15:03 | Updated: 6 November 2017, 09:37
This shouldn't be on YouTube.
We've seen and reported on some of the most shocking 'pranks' here on the Internet; from YouTubers being jailed for a fake robbery to a vlogger putting chilli sauce on his girlfriend's tampon. But now the latest dose of YouTube "banter" comes in the form of vlogger, No Biggie, taking it upon himself to upload another video in the YouTube pranking saga.
No Biggie, real name Yerv, is known for using song lyrics to prank his friends in front of his almost 400,000 subscribers. Usually, this is just harmless pranking fun, but the YouTuber took it one step too far when he uploaded the video "Pranking my GAY FRIEND with The Chainsmokers "Closer" Lyrics!!! [GONE HORRIBLY WRONG]" almost a month ago.
In the video that has been criticised by many online, Yerv attempted to fool his gay friend, who also happens to be a YouTuber, by texting him The Chainsmokers 'Closer' lyrics. Whilst hitting on him, Yerv also ended up using the opportunity to poke fun at not only him, but the rest of the LGBT community.
The video began by Yerv stating that the YouTuber he was pranking had an ego that went "through the roof" and that he fell into the "second type of gay dude" category who are "sassy" and "always trying to hit on you." If that wasn't offensive enough, he then went on to the text prank where he had saved his friends name as "Gay Guy With No Chill".
@YouTube How this isn't against YouTube rules is beyond me. Don't call him your friend. He isn't.— Zachary (@jaredfabaIecki) October 2, 2016
As the 'prankster' continued to hit on the fellow YouTuber, who obviously flirted back, Yerv seemed to be upset by the nature of his messages and even pretended to vomit at them whilst on camera.
This sickening act of homophobia has seen over one million views since it was uploaded on 28th August and the comments are thankfully full of people calling out the No Biggie channel for being so inappropriate.
Make sure to let us know what you think about the family's shocking daily vlog announcement in the comments and in the meantime, check out the latest video over on our YouTube channel.

That's about three times the required number and that's after only a week or so of collecting signatures.
So far Denish doesn't have any competition in the Democratic primary. Sen. Michael Sanchez's effort (apparently just a single post on his Facebook page last May) fizzled, as did Val Kilmer's. (Kilmer by the way was supposed to have appeared at the film incentive panel at the Council of State Governments West meeting yesterday. But he cancelled.)
Looks like Denish's only worry is the general election. Several Republicans (Allen Weh, Susana Martinez, Janice Arnold-Jones and Doug Turner) are competing for the right to run against her.
So far I haven't seen any GOP press releases blasting "The Richardson/Denish Administration" for the Saul Meyer revelations. But I bet they're coming.
UPDATE: A couple of folks from the Denish camp contacted me to let me know I'd added an extra zero to the number of petition signatures. (Wish someone would do that on my paycheck.) It's been corrected. I still stand by my bold prediction that she gets on the ballot.

The search for our wedding rings started as early as June. Like my usual SOP and probably like most brides, I always go for my first loves. Hence when I came across MokumeGaneya I just couldn't stop daydreaming about it until we could get to meet with their jeweller. Their rings are just so pretty!! I can't stop gushing about it.
Mind you, it's only the mokume gane rings of Mokumeganeya that I love because I find the mokume gane make of other jewellers a tad scary. The jeweller in Mokumeganeya said that this is because of the silver component of the ring which is the main reason for the "black streak" on the ring. Even from before, I don't want silver wedding rings and having known this new piece of info from the jeweller, I told him I don't want silver in our wedding ring.
Oh yes, you couldn't go as customized as you could get with Mokume gane rings. With this kind of ring, couples can choose what metals they'd like to have their rings be composed of. These metals are then melded together and pounded into one sheet about 8 inches length, cut into two (one for the guy, the other for the lady – this fact is quite romantic don't you think?) and then made into a ring. Since it originally is a sheet of alloy, naturally there is an obvious line on your ring where the two ends met.
This was the main reason why I decided not to go for mokume gane. I would like our ring to be a seamless and continuous one, endless, without beginning and end.
One other reason though was that our rings would cost around 550,000yen. Gulp. Because I didn't want the silver component (silver is usually the base material) in our rings, the jeweller said the other alternative for base material is white gold. To achieve the colors, pink, green and yellow gold will then be tossed in. Platinum is added on the inlay of our rings and diamonds added to my ring. Hence, 550k yen.
I was floored with the amount. Although I know Hubbie thinks it's expensive, he gave me the choice whether to go for the ring or not because he knew how I wanted mokume gane for our wedding ring.
Boy was it difficult! I know that we have major expenses our way, what with the wedding and starting our new home hence splurging is impractical. I asked myself if I can wear that expensive a ring knowing there are other important things to attend to. Of course the answer was NO. And mainly, there was this breakline that I don't want to see in our wedding ring.
Problem was that I didn't see a ring that I fell for. We looked at Mikimoto, Michel Klein, 4C (I don't know how to add the degree sign haha) shops but no "it" factor for me. I browsed Tiffany website but I wasn't enamored with it. Probably because it seems I am just considering Tiffany because of its name/brand and not because of its designs. So I decided to visit the Tiffany store in Minato Mirai.
But I got intercepted in the way by Lazare Diamond in Motomachi. And there, I fell for our wedding rings. They beckoed towards me and sparkled before me way more brilliantly than Mikimoto did. This is it.
Originally though, I opted for the leaf design of the diamond inlay. But I decided against it because it looked like the shape of a wound. The Virtue wedding band was another choice but I didn't like the grooves. Ultimately I decided to go for a continuous Pt1000 platinum ring wherein diamonds were simply yet seamlessly inserted that it almost looked as if it was molded together with the platinum band. Of course Hubbie opted for my ring's partner, a Pt1000 platinum ring without the diamonds. We both agree that diamonds are for women haha.
I don't think I was able to get a good picture of our rings to give it some justice but for now, this'll do. Rings, please wait for Dino Lara okay? Then, you'll have the pictures you deserve.
By the way, since we already had our civil wedding and our church wedding is still months away, we exchanged our rings on Christmas Eve in the old Christ the King Cathedral Church in my hometown in Tagum were I had fond memories of my childhood. Our little private ceremony was so sweet and special that I wouldn't do our "exchange rings" any other way.

Tim and Dawn's DIY Outdoor Living Space
When Tim and Dawn bought their Rosemont home in April, they decided they wanted to wait until they settled in before making any changes to the inside of their house. But there was one thing they wanted to change immediately — the outside. The house had been a rental for the past 10 years and not much attention had been given to the curb appeal. They wanted their corner lot to look as nice as the other houses on their street and add outdoor living space for their family of five.
Here's what the house looked like when they bought it (from Google Earth street view).
The entire lot had a chain link fence and the yard was full of overgrown and partially dead bushes and trees.
Their plan was to rip out the fence and shrubs, re-landscape and create an outdoor living area in the backyard with a deck, paver patio and fire pit. Originally, they wanted to hire out the work, but when the quote from the contractor came back well over their budget, Tim declared, "I'll just do it myself!"
Since they've moved in, Tim has ripped out the chain link fence and all the shrubs. The yard already looks much better.
The next step will be a little more complicated. Here's the plan:
1) Build a 8×10 foot deck off the side addition.
2) Move the air conditioners to the opposite side of the house to make way for a paver pathway and patio from the deck to the backyard.
3) Add a retaining wall and regrade the soil for a paved seating area and fire pit behind the garage.
4) Convert the 2-car garage into a clubhouse of sorts. It already has electricity and Tim wants to add running water.
They will also re-sod the ground, add trees and shrubs and install a decorative fence on the side of the property.
Tim's already applied for a permit to add the deck on the side and he and Dawn have picked out the pavers for the walkway and patio. Tim admits he's never done this type of work before, but he's hoping his years growing up on a farm have prepared him well for the challenge and manual labor. Another challenge is the fact that Tim and Dawn both have full-time jobs (Dawn's the owner of Bellies and Babies in Del Ray) and three active young kids, so their free time to complete the project is limited. We'll be back to show their progress!

How to implement methods accepting Variable Argument Lists in Java?
Java doesn't have a built-in feature to handle variable argument lists to a method call, the way we have in C/C++. But, there are several alternative ways of achieving this in Java using simple programming constructs. Let's try to discuss these alternative ways:-
Method Overloading - it directly comes to our mind whenever we start thinking about a method which has the same name and different argument list (based on order, type, and number). We can obviously overload the method to have it accepting variable argument lists, but as it's quite evident that this approach will have two serious problems:-
- Knowledge of various argument combinations at desgn time - unless we are aware of what all combinations of method calls we may encounter during run time how can we overload the method. So, we can't really achieve a generic variable argument lists call to the method following this approach.
- Duplication of code - evidently most part of the code (except that which deals with the new arguments of the particular overloaded version) may be duplicate. This won't really cause any performance problem as the particular overloaded method will be bind at compile time itself, but it may certainly increase the size of the .class file of the particular class.
Using Object array - as we know that every class in Java either directly or indirectly extends the cosmic superclass named Object and hence an Object array (Object[]) as the parameter type of a method will enable the method to accept variable argument lists by accepting an Object[] of corresponding length. For primitive type arguments, we'll require to wrap them in their corresponding wrapper classes before adding to the Object array and un-wrapping them back inside the method. This approach is almost a complete equivalent of variable argument lists feature of C/C++, but the only problem with this approach is that in this case any changes made inside the method will actually change the original data as well (as is the case with any method using object references).
Using Collection framework - with the introduction of Collection framework in Java, we now have a better approach of handling a situation requiring a variable argument list to a method call. The reason is very simple that we can handle the problem of modifying the original object (which was the case with Object[] as discussed above) by first obtaining an unmodifiable collection object containing the variable argument lists before passing it as the method parameter. This will ensure that any changes made within the method on the passed collection object will cause an exception to be raised. Example: most commonly we use a List to handle such a situation. Once we are done with adding all the arguments to the List object then we simply retrieve a reference of the unmodifiable list by calling Collections.unmodifiableList(List originalList) and we pass this unmodifiable List object reference to the method.
Note: if we want to keep a modifiable reference of the List as well then we need to capture the return value of the method Collections.unmodifiableList(List) in a separate List reference otherwise if we assign that to the original reference then we won't have any reference to change the List either in the calling method OR in the called method. Be sure of what you want before deciding.
List originalVAList = new ArrayList();
//... obviously we can add any Object, not just a String
list.add("Argument #1");
list.add("Argument #2");
list.add("Argument #n");
//... retrieving unmodifiable List
List unmodifiableVAList = Collections.unmodifiableList(originalVAList);
//... call the method with the unmodifiable List reference
Another advantage of using Collection framework instead of Object[] is that we don't need to bother about the trivial stuff like looping through the entire array to print, fetch the size, etc. as the Collection framework is rich enough to support all those features with very less coding and the implementation is supposedly either better or at least as good as what most of us can think of. So, using Collection framework to handle such a scenario is always advisable unless of course you have a very strong reason to do it otherwise.
