Sparta is a small unincorporated community in Chickasaw County, Mississippi, in the northeastern area of the state.
A fictionalized Sparta was featured in the 1967 film In the Heat of the Night and the television series in the 1980s and '90s. This fictional version of Sparta differs geographically from the real Sparta in several ways. The fictional version was shown as being across the river from Arkansas and adjacent to Interstate 20, but the real Sparta is nowhere near any interstate highway or state boundary. (The real I-20 also crosses the Mississippi at Vicksburg from Louisiana, not Arkansas; the only sizeable Mississippi city near Arkansas, Greenville, has a bridge but no interstate, though future I-69 will run nearby.) The film was actually made in Sparta, Illinois, while most seasons of the television series were filmed in Covington, Georgia, east of Atlanta (and near the real I-20).
Most of the first season of the TV Series as well as the intro sequence with the Chief sitting at the railroad crossing was filmed in Hammond, Louisiana. Some of the features of this town that can be recognized are:
To see some of the features of Hammond that were included in this seasons, use Google Maps and enter "W Thomas and South Cate St Hammond LA". Most of the scenes are in a 4 block radius from that intersection.

I've always been a bit apprehensive of cooking red meat. I like it a certain way, and because it can be rather expensive, I'd rather not give myself the chance to mess it up. Steaks, lamb and duck have been off-limits in my kitchen – until yesterday.
I was given the opportunity by the people at EatWelshLamb to try my hand at preparing a dish of my choice. While they encouraged me to be creative using a whole load of ingredients they sent me, I preferred to keep it simple by trying one of the many many recipes on the East Welsh Lamb website.
This easy recipe for a Moroccan-style tagine takes about an hour and a half to cook, with a good 20 minutes of prep time. I took a couple liberties with it by adding tomatoes and dried apricots to the mix, but you certainly don't have to.
The result was an absolutely gorgeous dish of very tender and rich slow-cooked lamb with savoury spices, a hint of sweetness and enough spice to tantalise your taste buds. I served mine over couscous.
The Welsh lamb was delicious, obviously high quality, and something I would cook again. It's definitely helped me not be so scared of cooking red meat. Now if someone would just teach me how to do a decent pork belly…
- 450g (1lb) lean Welsh lamb cubes
- 1 onion, cut into wedges
- 15ml (1tbsp) ground cumin
- 2.5ml (½tsp) ground cinnamon
- 2.5ml (½tsp) ground ginger
- 400g (approx) can chickpeas, drained
- 300ml (½pt) lamb stock
- 150ml (¼pt) orange and mango juice
- 1 tin peeled tomatoes
- Chopped dried apricots
- 1 tsp harissa paste (or more if you like a kick)
- 1 lemon, zest removed
- Seasoning
- 30ml (2tbsp) fresh mint, roughly chopped
- 225g (8oz) couscous
- Zest and juice 1 lemon
- 30ml (2tbsp) fresh mint, roughly chopped
Temperature: Gas Mark 3, 170°C, 325°F
Place lean lamb cubes, onion, cumin, cinnamon, ginger, chick peas, stock, juice, tomatoes, apricots and zest into a large casserole dish. Cover and cook for 1-1½ hours until the meat is tender.
Remove lid and sprinkle on the couscous, lemon and seasoning.
Replace lid and return to oven for about 20 minutes until liquid has absorbed (add a little more stock if a little too dry).
Serve the tagine sprinkled with mint.

And even with so many new games out there, as far as my gaming experience is concerned, none could ever match RO's pace, excitement, immersive culture, and uhm addiction factor.
Muntik nang masira ang buhay ko dahil sa pRO na ito hehe.
I can't remember the last time I played it, but I remember first playing it sometime July 2002, in an internet cafe near KFC Katipunan.
My very first set of RO characters were named Longshots, Quickstryke, and Ironhands. ^^
I've written fanfics based on this game, as well as doodled some fanpics of my characters.
All great memories for such a simple game.
Today, March 31, 2015, the pRO management said their last goodbye, and finally closed down the servers.
Paalam, pRO.

Man's charges may be upgraded after abused baby dies
On Wednesday morning, prosecutors will meet to determine if a Louisville father will face murder charges after his infant son died at Kosair Children's Hospital.
Police say Juan Lopez Rosales hit his 2-month-old son Isaac's head against a bathtub, fracturing his skull.
Doctors declared the child brain dead weeks ago, but his mother fought to keep him alive.
On Tuesday, a judge ruled the child could be removed from life support, and police confirm Isaac passed away Tuesday night.
The mother's attorney says the family is devastated but accepts the court's decision.
"Well, I'm not going to say it's the wrong decision. The court had an interpretation as to what the law is and they get to decide that fact," said Leslie Bates, the mother's attorney.
Right now, Lopez is charged with criminal abuse.

Canada…Exploring America's Hat
Niagara Falls Day 1
If there is one thing you need to know about Niagara Falls, it is that they are not known for their food. Most of the places around the falls are chain restaurants. The same that I can get at home (minus Tim Hortons). However, I have a knack for finding a good restaurant and located a pizzeria in the middle of all the chains. Hello Antica's Pizzeria!
Excuse my super tired look. I ran a marathon, walked for hours after that, was still dehydrated, sunburnt and then ate beer and pizza so I was wiped out. I had a really hard time keeping my eyes open if you can't tell.
After falling in love with sponge candy in Buffalo and then eating it all. I was very happy to find Sponge Toffee in Canada!!!!
It was chewier and crunchier than I thought it would be but it was still really good (just don't tell my dentist). If I had to pick between sponge toffee and sponge candy, I would easily go with sponge candy. Even though I perked up a bit for candy, I was still beat so I ended up calling it an early night. Sorry no crazy partying in Canada.
Niagara Falls Day 2
I was wayyyy too excited to find good parking in the morning. It was also 9am and no one else was probably even close to awake. I like to get an early start and wanted to beat all the tourists to the falls.
My excitement faded when I got to the falls and saw this.
It was so foggy that you could not see anything. Niagara Falls Falls, you have failed me
It was pretty early in the morning so I decided to waste some time at the casino hoping for the fog to lift. Gambling is not my thing but I lost $10 on slot machines and called it quits. I have a feeling I will never have a gambling problem.
With the mecca of fast food chains around us we settled for Anticas…again. I swear it was even better the second time.
Day 2 in Niagara and we ordered the exact same pizza and sat in the exact same seats. Except this time I wasn't tired, I was really bored though so we took a whole lot of pictures while we waited.
Checked the falls one last time and was still too foggy to see anything so we headed back to the USA.
It took about 5 mins to get into Canada. To get out of Canada was another story. It took FOREVER!!!!
Ok ok it didn't take forever, it took about 20 mins. I have to admit I was a little afraid they were going to search my trunk and find my super smelly shoes. Or the large amounts of candy that we were sneaking into the U.S. Luckily, they didn't search us and let us back into the U.S. but it was probably a close call.
Fun Fact: I know 3.5 national anthems, American, Canadian, Croatian and parts of the Austrialian.
Do you know the Canadian Anthem or any other anthems?

Ocean Float Rooms
Easy entrance
A large, side opening door offers a far more inviting entrance & ease of use compared to the top hatch type lid common to float tanks. It also gives easier access for the able and the less able. Conveniently positioned internal grab handles offer greater safety, comfort and sense of security.
Mood lighting
The float room's inviting interior is lit by twin underwater LED lights in a rich, vibrant blue. The lighting gently fades in and out at the touch of the interior air switch enhancing the beauty and peace of the floatation environment. Mood and colour changing lighting is also available in the ceiling, washing across the roof and highlighting the Float room's height.
Ocean Float rooms also custom-build lighting systems and have supplied many luxury spas.
Lifetime Heater
Our remarkable, low heat heating system is the most advanced, most reliable float tank heating system in the world.
Clients cannot sense whether it is on or off.
The heater operates at or near skin temperature, releasing a subtle, gentle heat into the water when needed. This results in an incredibly stable water temperature encouraging a much deeper, more peaceful float. Even during longer floats there is no overall heat loss as the heater instantly responds to the smallest temperature change.
Uniquely, the heater completely eliminates electro-magnetic radiation (EMF) from the float environment with our customers reporting greatly improved floatation experiences as a result.
The heater requires zero maintenance, will save on heating costs and energy and is designed to outlive the Float room.
"One touch" float sessions
A "one touch" digital control unit provides fully automated and completely adaptable float sessions that take care of every detail and customer preference. Music is gently introduced at the beginning and end of each float session and the filtration and sterilisation system automatically run for the optimal cleaning time after the float.
4 popular float session lengths are included as standard, but music and float time can be instantly adjusted to suit individual preferences.
The panel's digital display and LED's provide real-time information on the progress and status of the session.
Surround Sound
Music & voice in the Ocean Float room is experienced in crystal clear surround sound using six (6) transducer speakers positioned above and below the floating client.
Transducers provide a far superior quality of music and voice compared to "under water" speakers as they are designed to combine with the natural acoustic capabilities of the float room shell turning the interior float environment into a "sea of sound".
Deep Clean Filtration
A very high powered magnetic drive filtration pump filters the entire float solution 4 times between sessions while the customer is showering and changing. Every customer can step into an Ocean Float room safe in the knowledge that the water is clean and completely sterile. Most systems do not maintain that level of cleanliness so effortlessly. The filtration is high capacity reducing the maintenance frequency. Sterilisation is automatic and removes the chore of hand dosing and the need for staff to continuously handle chemicals.
Heat & sound insulation
Up to 100 mm (4") of the most efficient thermal and sound insulating materials are used in the Float room construction. This is sandwiched between all interior and exterior surfaces of the Float room creating a warm, stable and extremely quiet float environment significantly reducing operational costs.
This is enhanced by the positioning of the entry door on the side of the Float room (rather than the top hatch entry of a tank) ensuring maximum retention of the warm, interior, Float room air as people enter and leave.
Other Standard Features include:
- Call button system
- Bespoke amplifier
- Electrically protected main control panel
- Internal grab handles for safety and support
- Thermal, pool cover for overnight water insulation
- Fully ventilated, condensation and drip free interior
- CE Certification
- Comprehensive manufacturer's warranty
- Marketing information pack including templates
- Clear and detailed maintenance manual
- Complete chemical and testing kit

Finding bug is a process of confirming the many things you believe are true, until you find the one, which is not true.
Below are some of the things, which developers believe they are true
When the function is called, it receives its parameters correctly.
At a certain line or function in your source file, a certain variable has a certain value.
In a given if-then-else statement, the "else" part is the one that is executed.
Divide and Conquer
The simple technique for debugging is monitoring, write printf statements in the source code at which you know the data is good and where it becomes corrupted.
As we do not know where the data is good and bad, usually ad hoc addition of lots of printf statements are added to track the control flow and data values during the execution of code. After adding printf statements, run the program and keep adding printf statements until you isolate the area in the program that contains the wrong data. Then concentrate on why and how this data gets modified.
In this way, you can start zeroing in on the section of code that contains the error.
Debug Macros
The preprocessor conditional compilation directives can be used as switch to include or not to include the debug messages.
For example:
#ifdef DEBUG
printf("sum %d\n", sum);
The program can be compiled with DEBUG undefined for normal use;
you can define it when debugging is needed as follows
#define DEBUG
The following program prints the debug messages
#define DEBUG
int main()
char *iter = (char*) malloc (100);
strcpy(iter, "This is a simple program");
int sum;
for (int i=0; i <100; i++) {
#ifdef DEBUG
printf("char is %c and sum is %d\n", *iter, sum);
sum = sum + *iter;
return 0;
You shall redirect the output to a file what would normally go to the screen. For example:
$test >tmp.out
runs the program test with debugging and sends the output to the file tmp.out.
You can use your text editor's search capabilities to look for the information you want to find.
For large programs which has millions of code, the above mechanism will dump many millions of debug messages which makes the bug finding process difficult. We can use multiple debug level to tackle this issue. Based on the code size of the software, you shall define many debugging levels. Lower debugging levels produce less messages and higher the level, more messages it produces. When debugging an issue, start with lower level and then if you cannot figure out the cause, move to the next level and so on.
The following set of macros defines three debugging levels, DLEVEL3, DLEVEL2 and DLEVEL1.
#ifdef DLEVEL3
#define DLEVEL2
#ifdef DLEVEL2
#define DLEVEL1
If you software constitutes many modules, then module specific debug messages can be enabled to see only messages related to that module.
Run Time Tracing
The above techniques require source code access to identify the problem. Run time tracing allows the debugger to identify the problem on executable. This technique shall also be used to understand the code flow of the program. There are tools which traces all system calls or library routines.
strace utility provides the capability to trace the execution of an application from the perspective of system calls. Along with the system call routine, it also displays their arguments, return value, etc
Linux permits to access 4 GB virtual address space for a process and that 4 GB virtual space is divided into two parts such as user space ( 3 GB) and kernel space (1 GB). When we run any application program along with library , they allocates memory from user space . Here in the following example printf is a library function and internally uses a standard library libc.so. The function printf writes data "Hello" into monitor , but how it happens.
void main()
Operating system uses system call to copy the data from user space to kernel space and write into device file which is associated with a device ( example stdout for monitor) . The driver known as modules works in kernel space which reads the data from a device file and write into the port .
To list out the system call maintained by o/s there is a development tool called strace .Ittrace the system calls and signals . It intercepts and records the system calls made by a running process. strace can print a record of each system call, its arguments, and its return value. strace is a system call tracer, i.e. a debugging tool which prints out a trace of all the system calls .
$strace ./singo
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY) = 3
fstat64(3, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=111023, …}) = 0
mmap2(NULL, 111023, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 3, 0) = 0xb7f91000
close(3) = 0
open("/lib/libc.so.6", O_RDONLY) = 3
read(3, "\177ELF\1\1\1\3\3\1\360\3247004″…, 512) = 512
write(1, "Hello", 5Hello) = 5
Each line starts with a system call name, is followed by its arguments in the parenthesis & then has return value at the end of the line. The important system call made in the above output are open,close,read,write. The last line write(1, "Hello", 5Hello) = 5 line corresponding to the system call that cause Hello to be printed on the screen. The first argument -1 is the file descriptor of the file i.e. stdout to write to. So it writes the message on the terminal instead of writing in some other file on disk. The second argument tells the data is a string & third argument display the total number of character in the string.
$ strace -c ./singo
Hello% time seconds usecs/call calls errors syscall
—— ———– ———– ——— ——— —————-
nan 0.000000 0 1 read

From the above output, it is evident that write system call is used 1time. This is initiated by printf() statement on stdout file descriptor.
One another important option of strace is -tt, it causes strace to print out the time at which each call finished.
ltrace can be used to monitor user library calls. Most of the option present in strace is also present in ltrace. For the complete set of options run `man ltrace`.
Interactive Debugging
Interactive debuggers give you the ability to stop the program at any point, examine and change variables, and continue the program to identify the code which changes the behavior and makes the program buggy. The GNU Debugger (also known as gdb) is an interactive debugging tool which allows you to see what is going on inside the running program while it executes.
Linux provides lot of information and tools to investigate the running process (your executable). It stores information about each of the process running in the system at /proc file system.
This directory has lot of subdirectories each denoting the process ID of the running process in the system.

Find out the process ID of you program using the ps command, lets say your executable name is csqlserver, then
$ps -ef |grep csqlserver
csql 5218 3115 0 13:35 pts/1 00:00:00 csqlserver
csql 5370 3526 0 13:42 pts/3 00:00:00 grep csqlserver
For the above output, pid is 5218.
Under this directory (/proc/5218) you will find lots of useful information which helps in debugging your application
Some of the important ones are
cmdline – contains the command line options with the executable name with which you started the process
environ – contains the environment variables like PATH, HOME,etc this process uses
maps – contains the memory map of the process(similar to output of pmap command)
fd – directory which contains all the file descriptors(you will see minimum 0,1 and 2 file descriptors which refers to stdin, stdout, stderr respectively)
cwd – link to current working directory
status – process status
Linux Tools
ps , pmap, top, vmstat tools displays information about running process in the system which helps developers to identify issues such as CPU consumption, high disk I/O, high memory usage by the programs.

I'm still counting.
4 months of love today.
46 days until I see him again.
Probably not going to let him go back to England. Even if I have to chain him to my house.
I want to live here.
And I could paint, and draw, and write, and not be bothered by anyone. We would have each other, and wouldn't need anything else. Fill our cottage with art and music and words. I'd have a step-through bike with a basket, and go and get fresh vegetables in the morning. We wouldn't have a TV, because there is so much to see and create. Lazy mornings with an endless teapot and books and blankets. Someone please, send me there.
[no idea where this picture is from, sorry to whoever I should credit.]
The presence of scaffolding is disappointing.
la la la la
This is not how it looks. Jamie had a hole in his pants, and I was inspecting it.
I have decided that moving to England is really my only option. I am going to apply for my registration to work as a physio in the UK later this year, and I will most likely be there by mid 2011.
I feel so, so relieved to have made a decision. I choose love.
Send me over.
Would you drop everything to move 10,000 miles for love?
I don't know what's stopping me. I'm not sure I'm brave enough.
A retort so ridiculous I couldn't respond.
I recently commented on this blog.
"Over the past forty years successive governments have betrayed the indigenous white working class population of this country, our manufacturing base is practically non-existent, we have had every one of our home based industries sold from under our feet to foreign conglomerates which have in turn meant our manufacturing base is non-existent, the time when a 16-year-old could leave school and find a decent apprenticeship is long gone, everything today is short term contract based work, no job today has security which means one cannot look to the future and plan.
The majority of unskilled work now goes to foreign immigrants and this is causing great antagonism and anger, we are constantly being told by New Labour that foreign immigrants only do the work our supposedly lazy Indigenous workforce refuse to do, this is utter rubbish, the foreign workforce has driven down the wages of our workforce to the stage it is unable to survive on the wages that the greedy employers pay the migrants, If this continues and immigration is not HALTED then we will see civil war in this country.
We must protect our indigenous white workforce before others get employment, we must also give our white indigenous population first pick when it comes to social housing, schooling, and all medical services(NHS).
In some parts of our country we have over 150 different languages spoken in some areas, this causes great hardship on local services, schooling for our children suffers as the numbers of children expected to be taught increases/class numbers.
The other serious problem in our country today is the problem of the Islamization of our country and the hatred from Muslims of our country, our government has closed its eyes to this problem for too long and we are having to pay the price, the politicians have tried to socially engineer our society to be an ethnically diverse country, this experiment has been a complete failure and is destroying the indigenous populations culture and way of life, people need to sit up and look at what is going on around them…………"
My response-
I am Australian, and I will soon be one of those terrifying immigrants you speak of, to move over to be with my boyfriend. (Who in fact, is in the "Debate" part of your blogroll.)
I will be working for the NHS as a physiotherapist for children with disabilities, an area that is always lacking in skill and staffing.
Should they keep me out? Or is it ok, because I am white?
His response- (If you could call it that)
It makes no diffrence to me what colour you are as I have previously stated on this blog, (NOTE, he specifically refers to his "white workforce" in his blog) I am talking about numbers and cultures.
Islam does not fit in with the western culture just as the wests does not fit in with Islam, they are totally seperate ideologies and cannot live side by side.
As for you coming over here and working for the NHS i think it is wrong, we have plenty of qualified people here already but they wish to leave their country of birth because they see their country having no future, they do not wish to bring their children up in a country that will not defend itself or protect it's own heritage/culture or people.(I'm fairly sure this sentence comes to the general conclusion that "all the qualified people have left England, and there are no children here now, hence you contributing to our public health system is wrong"- WTF?)
And finally, yes they should keep you out, why? because we don't need anymore here like your boyfriend……
I didn't actually even know how to respond to that, it was that ridiculous.
How can people like this exist, and actually have supporters? Am I the only one that is actually shocked by the ignorance and stupidity of this guy? PLEASE comment to this post, I need to regain faith in humankind.
There are only 90 days left, until I see Jamie again. I've never been one to count down to things, but this time it's different.
Jamie lives in Leicester, England. I live in Victoria, Australia. It's possibly THE longest distance relationship two people could have. The last time we saw each other was the 3rd of January. He's coming to Australia on the 15th of June. I have never been so excited about an event that is so far in the future.
Jamieeeeee come here nowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww

22 August 2017
Following, Chevron Australia's abandoned court challenge over disputed taxes and penalties arising from an intra-group loan, Zara Ritchie, Global Lead, Transfer Pricing, at BDO said:
"This settlement will no doubt give the ATO greater confidence and resolve to go after what it perceives to be aggressive financing arrangements.
"In practice it won't matter whether the Federal Court decision sets a legal precedent or not. This approach is already happening under current ATO reviews.
"Messaging from the ATO supports the view that they believe there are many aggressive arrangements in place and often with low tax jurisdictions on the other side or hybrid arrangements.
"Corporates are nervous about this aggressive stance and of course the reputational risk of poor publicity. Australia's 'stick' approach to change behaviour and restructure arrangements (eg MAAL) is likely to have the same impact in financing arrangements."

Last week I got to meet up with Jennifer…the mastermind behind Tiny Oranges blog. It's a blog dedicated to Orange County moms and their little ones. I can't remember exactly how I found Jennifer's blog. It's one of those rabbit trail things…you know you sit down to look up movie times and the next thing you know you've found the latest and greatest new site!
I emailed Jennifer, we hit it off and ended up meeting for coffee. Or tea in Jennifer's case. 🙂 Starbucks was kind enough to coordinate their cup cozies with my whole theme for the day.
As a mom and entrepeneur I wanted to ask Jennifer how she started her blog, how she comes up with WHAT to blog about and basically how she got to be so dang talented! Turns out she was inspired by The Wedding Chicks…a blog I also frequent! She thought there should be something equally as cool for moms. Specifically moms in Orange County. And even though starting a blog was unfamiliar territory, she wrapped her experience in the dot com industry, her years as an event coordinator and of course her experience as a new mom into Tiny Oranges.
The blog has great tips, giveaways and fun things to do in Orange County. I love how easy it is to navigate and she has something new just about every day! Next week, I'll be doing a spot on her blog about practical things you can do to improve your pictures.
Because Jennifer has her finger on the pulse of all that is new and cool for moms, I wanted her to share with us what she couldn't live without and what's she's dying to have! Soooo, her must have is this shopping cart cover and she can't wait to get her hands on a new UPPA Vista Baby Stroller. Go check it out…it looks awesome! And make sure you frequent her blog for tons more eye candy!
She was kind enough to pose for a photo, so you can put a face to all the fun stuff that's coming out of Tiny Oranges. Oh and if you're in the know about a cool new place for kids or the product that all your friends are buying, send her an email. She loves to include contributions from local moms!
Last but not least! I promised to share info about the Spring Mini-Sessions that are coming up at Rascals to Rebels. Here's the 411. The Huntington Beach Store is now taking sign ups for March 13 and 14 from noon to 2pm. The store is hosting complimentary 15 minute mini-sessions and prints can be purchased a la carte. You need to go by the store to sign up, so go quick…last time it filled up in 2 days!

Welcome to Scranton is back as a Kindle Best Seller…in a very narrow category.
It was right behind Ann Patchett's Truth and Beauty and ahead of Thicker Than Blood:Friendships of Womyn by Maureen Jones-Ryan.
It reached #22 in the following category:
- #22 in Kindle Store > Books > Nonfiction > Advice & How-to > Health, Mind & Body > Relationships > General
Again, I'm amused as the novella is fiction. It's definitely not a How-to book on anything except perhaps how not to have a relationship. But I'll take what I can get.

Mercer Island Center for the Arts (MICA) kicked off 2018 with new leadership, new strategies and a study session with Mercer Island city leaders on Feb. 6, according to a press release.
MICA board and staff have been working hard reviewing the strategy to create an arts center and determine what is needed for future success. In mid-2017, the MICA Board of Directors appointed a Task Force to find solutions to issues that plagued the project. After careful examination, a study of neighboring art centers, and discussions with dozens of stakeholders, the Task Force came to a consensus on a path forward.
One of the key recommendations was to expand the board by adding new leadership and an Emeritus Board, extending our outreach, diversity and new ideas. A majority of founding board members have moved to the Emeritus Board and to date, MICA has added five new board members: Elliot Newman, Michelle Peyree, James Rudolf, Xixi Shakes and Iantha Sidell to join continuing members, Adam Goldblatt, John Gordon Hill, Virl Hill, Bruce Lorig, Prady Misra and Genevieve Morton. John Gordon Hill, the visionary of the MICA project, passed the baton to new board chairs Morton and Misra.
Along with the expanded board, new leadership includes Paul Shoemaker as Executive Director. Shoemaker, a 22-year Islander and a recognized expert in the nonprofit sector, first came onboard with MICA as a member of the Task Force.
"Being a part of the MICA team is a very exciting challenge and represents a real opportunity for me to give back to MI in a way I haven't been able to before," Shoemaker said.
On Tuesday, MICA took part in a study session with the Mercer Island City Council. MICA presented information to the council regarding the current status of the project, goals for 2018, and discussed next steps on how to move forward with the city. A few of these goals include a broader community engagement process that builds on past work, a stronger relationship with the city of Mercer Island, and an openness to explore alternative sites and locations for MICA in collaboration with the city and the community.
For more, see www.mercerislandarts.org, visit the MICA staff at 7710 SE 29th St., call 206-715-7671 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Las Vegas is Fabulous but Reno is Ravishing
|Morrill Hall University of Nevada
Reno learned a long time ago that it could not compete with the craziness of the Las Vegas Strip and its showgirl like resorts. But what it could do is focus on the arts, its perfect location to the ski resorts of Lake Tahoe and its rich history to fill in the gap. Situated right on the Truckee River the little city is a must see when you visit Nevada. Its located about 6.5 hours driving time from Las Vegas or roughly 1.5 hours by flight. I prefer the drive myself since it takes you through some of the hidden historical gems that Nevada has to offer. And since I am a major history fanatic the drive is perfect. Not to mention very therapeutic.
The drive can be daunting for many since it is long and for some can be quite arduous if you don't like the scenic vistas of the desert. The long expanses of the desert is what brings many to Nevada. Tourists from places like Japan and other heavily populated areas are in awe of how much empty land is out there. Huge arid tracks that make you wonder how people on wagons could survive it. Though I was in the comfort of my little air-conditioned MINI I know all too well that if my car broke down I would need water to survive before I could get some help. So I packed plenty of water and goodies to keep me satiated if things turned ugly.
No one argues the fact that Nevada is a place of extremes. The summers are super hot and the winters can get super cold. It has little arable land and water is most definitely a luxury. Heck Nevada should have not even been a state as soon as it was when it was created back in 1864. Even at the turn of the 20th Century eastern US newspapers questioned whether Nevada should even be a state with a paltry population barely able to sustain territorial status! But nonetheless the state survived and today its thriving thanks to a population that likes it's Libertarian nature of low taxes, individualism and entrepreneurship.
|Alien Center in Wells
As you continue north you hit Wells (formerly Lathrop Wells) and their new Area 51 Alien Center and brothel (my guess would be that the brothel experience would be out of this world!). Past Wells you will eventually hit the small mining town of Beatty home to the world famous Sourdough Saloon and the Beatty Museum and Historical Society. Beatty is also the gateway to Death Valley National Park, the Rhyolite Ghost Town and the Goldwell Open Air Museum.
Continuing along the route you will pass through one of Nevada's historical gems. The town of Goldfield. At one time the town was the largest in the state with a healthy population of 20,000 people drawn there in the unending quest for gold. In 1982 the town was listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. Many of its old stone buildings still survive and some are still used today such as the court house. The Goldfield Hotel is considered one the most haunted places in America.
Once you leave Goldfield the next town is Tonopah home to the Tonopah Historic Mining Park and the Central Nevada Museum. The historic Mizpah Hotel and its perfectly preserved turn of the century architecture and decor is a must see when driving through town.
Upon exiting Tonopah, this stretch of road will take you through some of the most stark country in Nevada. With the exception of a few tiny villages such as Mina and Luning there is not much else out there except a few abandoned buildings along the route. So make sure to fuel up in Tonopah for the stretch to Hawthorn.
|Reno River Walk
Truckee River
Immediately after you exit Hawthorn you will hit Walker Lake. One of the few large lakes located in Nevada. The drive along the Western boundary of the lake will take you right up against the rocky cliffs between Mount Grant and Bald Mountain. The road rides tight so you definitely want to reduce your speed. In either case the blue waters of the lake are a nice respite from the brown sands of the desert.
Once you pass Walker Lake you are on the last long stretch before you get to Reno. You have two choices in this case. You can continue through to Fallon to hit the 50 which connects you to Interstate 80 at Fernley and then on to Reno or you can take the alternative 95 through Yerington which hits Fernley also. I would suggest that latter since it will save you about 30 minutes on the trail. Though Fallon is a nice little town the traffic tends to slow you down especially since you have to drive right through it to get to Fernley. Fallon is considered the Oasis of Nevada or Nevada's Breadbasket. It has a cool mix of farms, plenty of shops and quite a little art scene. But the coolest thing about the town is that its also home to the Fallon Naval Air Station or Navy Fighter Weapons School aka TOPGUN. Yep TOPGUN is located in Nevada...
Now that we have hit Interstate 80 the drive is swift. I would say within 30 minutes you will hit the Reno Sparks metropolitan area. Get off on Virginia Street and head South which lands you in the middle of Downtown. The rest is up to you where you wanna go. Since Reno has a pretty compact Downtown everything is within walking distance.
|Reno@ Night
It may not be Las Vegas with all the What Happens Here Hype, but if you are looking for that perfect little weekend getaway with all the amenities of Vegas without all the tourists, traffic and trix Reno Nevada is the place to go. Enjoy!

WeChat has assured that it does not store the chat history of its users after a top Chinese businessman was quoted in the media saying that the Tencent-owned messaging service was monitoring people's accounts, Reuters reported.
"[Message history] is only stored in users' mobiles, computers and other terminals," WeChat said in a post on its platform.
Geely Holdings chairman Li Shufu said that Tencent chair Ma Huateng "must be watching all our WeChats every day," the report stated.
While WeChat has said that Shufu's comment us "pure misunderstanding", the platform is required to censor public posts that the Communist Party regards as illegal.
The Cyberspace Administration in China announced in August that it was investigating the country's top social media sites for failing to ban content which is violent, obscene, or deemed offensive.
In September, China implemented a new rule making chat group administrators and companies accountable for breaches of content rules.
It then handed down maximum penalties to tech firms including Tencent, Baidu, and Weibo for failing to properly censor online content, and asked them to increase content auditing measures.

It's the first day of heavy rains in Mumbai. The rains are my favourite weather to write in. I love keying to the sound of the crashing rains.
Thankfully though the skies held clear Saturday when I conducted the Bengali Oshiwara Finely Chopped Mumbai Food Walk. I guess Mumbai rains are more fun when you are indoors than outdoors!
Few things excite me as much as talking about Bengali food and culture. I love it when I can tell people more about about my origins and help them to understand us better. That there is a lot more to Bengal and Bengalis than louts like Tapas Pal. Hopefully last Saturday we achieved a bit of that.
The setting for our walk was Oshiwara, a suburb which has a concentration of Bengali restaurants. Well 'concentration' as in two restaurants, Calcutta Cub and Bhojohori Manna, within shouting distance of each other and now a sweet shop, Kamdhenu, has opened there too. Within driving distance is also Hangla and Oh Calcutta near Infinity Mall making it quite the Bengali hotspot. I have also heard on twitter and through Facebook mails that Gangaur in JVPD, certainly not in walking distance though, now offers Kolkata phuchkas. There was once a time when we used to head to Tardeo's Oh Calcutta for Bengali food. Now it's Oshiwara and Bhojohori Manna. Of course there is Bong Bong at Bandra too so we are not as marooned as before over here.
Our group on Saturday was a mixed one as always. We had American and British expats in Mumbai wanting to explore more of the city they live in. Indian expats in New York visiting home. Out of towners from other parts of India. Former Calcuttans who were missing home food.
Our first stop was Kamdhenu near Sammy Sosa on the Oshiwara Link road. Kamdhenu is the Mumbai outpost of the South Kolkata sweet chain based in Bagha Jatin in Kolkata. It' is still pretty new here. The stock of Bengali sweets is currently very limited compared to Sweet Bengal. We had kheer kodom, lyangcha and some lovely roshogolla as we chatted about the role of sweets and sweet shops in Kolkata and how they act as pit stops for people on the go and how tucking into the sweetshop for breakfast is quite the thing to do back home. They made us some make-shift jhal muri at Kamdhenu. The sting of mustard oil was there but no chanachoor, cucumbers or coconuts slices. Still one got a feel of how jhal muri is spicy and different from bhel puri.
Our next stop was Calcutta Club. Calcutta Club was the first of the Bengali restaurants to set up shop in Oshiwara. It is owned by an ex Bengali corporate who is married to a Gujarati lady. You get some pretty good home styled Bengali food here and the tiny restaurant was getting pretty packed that Saturday afternoon. We got ourselves a couple of tables. In my sights was the biryani which they make really well in Calcutta Club. We spoke about the origins of biryani and how it is the Indianised version of the Persian pulao. We spoke of how biryani was introduced to Kolkata when Nawab Wajid Ali Shah was exiled to Calcutta from Lucknow which is also when the potato made an appearance in biryani. I was so happy to see folks in the folks warm up to the subtlety of the biryani here.
Our last stop was Bhojohori Manna where, as K says, they treat me like a son in law. Siddhartha Bose from Calcutta had made all the arrangements. Lahiri babu marshalled his troops and ensured that our group was served seamlessly. Priyanka was there to play hostess and to join me in taking us through the menu.
And what an epic lunch it was. Crisp luchi, plump begun bhaja, sweet chholar dal, bitter shukto, somnambulant alu posto, a new introduction of the divine mocha chingri bhapa, shorshe ilish which was flavoursome but didn't sting, spicy luscious kosha mangsho that combined beautifully with mishti pulao, notun gurer payesh which reminded me of my granny, shondesh and then paan.
Yes, they say that Bengali food walk is the one with the most amount of food and the least amount of walking…that's as authentic as it gets.
In case you are wondering what's for dinner tonight, it's ilish bhaja and khichudi which is the Bengali thing to eat when it rains

Straight from KubeCon and Cloud Native Con 2018, here are some of the most exciting announcements from Microsoft, Cloud 66, Bitnami, and others.
Join the DZone community and get the full member experience.Join For Free
Sifting through the flurry of companies announcing new, or improved Kubernetes hosting support were a few more interesting announcements. Here's what I found.
Bitnami to Improve Support for Serverless and Kubeapps
Bitnami has always specialized in making complex applications simple to install and use, and their Kubernetes offering added support for running Serverless applications under Kubernetes using the Kubeless framework. Version 1.0 of Kubeless adds GoLang and Java runtime support, plus a series of new ways to trigger functions, including Kafka.
Bitnami also launched version 1.0 of Kubeapps, their own method for deploying applications to Kubernetes, and deploying discrete applications has always been Bitnami's strong point, so this is a compelling offering.
Buoyant Launches Commercial Linkerd and Conduit
If you've ever needed to connect multiple containers or cloud infrastructure across data centers and regions, you probably considered a service mesh such as Linkerd. So many companies now rely on Linkerd that its creators, Buoyant, released official commercial support to offer these clients the kind of service they need. Alongside this announcement, they also launched a new tool, Conduit, a lightweight service mesh specifically for Kubernetes.
Cloud 66 Introduces The Complete Container Delivery Pipeline
Cloud 66 announced additions to their container delivery pipeline, Skycap. Copper helps developers validate their Kubernetes configuration files, making continuous container builds more stable and reliable.
Iguazio Real-time Serverless Framework
Adding to the small but growing list of serverless framework options, Iguazio announced an Enterprise level, cloud-hosted version of their Nuclio framework optimized for real-time and data-driven applications.
Oracle Cloud adds Serverless Framework
In a constant push to grow their cloud presence, among other enhancements, Oracle added to the serverless landscape with their fn project. It's container-based, can run on-premises or in the cloud, and supports every programming language, a claim I would love to investigate.
JFrog Introduces the Only Enterprise-Grade Go Repository
While the Go community has made attempts at package management options before with tools like dep, godep and govendor. The venerable JFrog artifactory has added support for enterprises looking to manage their dependencies across projects, leveraging the vgo packaging manager proposal.
The Cloud Native Foundation (CNCF) Grows and Matures
With over 4,000 attendees at KubeConf and now 200 members, the CNCF announced a new Certified Kubernetes Application Developer (CKAD) program and a new training program for partners involved in delivering training programs.
Google Cloud Adds Improvements for Security and Monitoring
As one of the first Kubernetes hosts, Google's container offering, GKE adds a couple of new features. Stackdriver for Kubernetes helps developers and ops monitor what is happening in the multiple layers of many modern Kubernetes-based applications, including logs, metrics, and inter-infrastructure events. As a perfect companion, the Cloud Security Command Center centralizes security alerts across GKE clusters to watch out for important issues from one location.

If I Cut Off My Arm, I Will 3D Print A New One
September 1st, 2016 · 48 mins 41 secs
About this Episode
Mike Moceri, Founder & CEO of Manulith / MakerOS
Mike was a student when he watched a timelapse video of a printer making a bust of Beethoven and he was floored. Since that moment he knew he wanted to be in that industry and today we talk about the waves he has been making with his company Manulith and their product MakerOS.
Early on, mike realized when building out a software system to help run manulith that it would benefit other 3d printing companies as well as companies that focus on design, fabrication or companies doing other kinds of custom work for their clients. Before MakerOS, makers would have to manage a host of different tools, some very expensive and still not get the same result as what they are achieving today.

Massive flames engulfed a commercial building in Hollywood Tuesday morning that was home to a Payless ShoeSource and several other businesses.
The two-story brick building caught fire at about 7:09 a.m. near the corner of Santa Monica Boulevard and Western Avenue (map), according to Katherine Main of the Los Angeles Fire Department.
Black smoke coming from the structure was visible from at least 15 miles away, KTLA's Mark Kono reported as Sky5 was headed to the scene.
Massive flames were burning through the roof of the building and a nearby power pole appeared to have caught fire, aerial video from Sky5 showed.
Firefighters initially attacked the blaze from the perimeter of the building, dousing the flames from the ground and atop ladders.
As the firefight went on, white smoke began to rise from the building at about 8 a.m., aerial video from Sky5 showed.
Crews then began to battle the fire from inside, but went into defensive mode and evacuated the building after about 20 minutes, LAFD Deputy Chief Joseph Castro said at a news conference.
One of the concerns for firefighters was the possibility of the pre-1933 building collapsing, Castro said.
Firefighters continued to battle the flames from outside the building.
About 150 firefighters were dispatched to the blaze, which was knocked down after 1 hour and 39 minutes, Main said.
The fire apparently began in an electrical room and spread to the rest of the building, Main said.
The flames had burned close to a cellphone tower located on the roof of the building, video showed.
"The satellites, if they get damaged in any way, shape or form present a potential radiation hazard," Battalion Chief Steve Ruda said.
A hazardous materials team came out later and put up monitors to ensure there was no leakage of hazardous radiation, Ruda said.
The building housed a Payless ShoeSource store and a restaurant, but it was unclear if the businesses were open when the fire started, Main said.
Signage from a gold and silver exchange shop and a cellular service store was also posted on the outside of the building, aerial video from Sky5 showed.
Santa Monica Boulevard was closed near Western Avenue while firefighters worked to put out the blaze.
The eastbound lanes of Santa Monica Boulevard near Western were expected to remain closed, possibly for up to 24 hours, while crews clean up and investigators work to determine the cause of the blaze.
No injuries were reported in the fire.

Well, it did take long for an official app, but better late than never, as Wikipedia has finally got its new Android application to the market. It's the official Wikipedia app for Android, so users can get access to more than 20 million articles in 280 languages on their Android smartphones. The free encyclopaedia, arguably, is one of the most comprehensive and widely used reference work humans have ever compiled and it coming to Android will only make information and knowledge more accessible.
Here are a few of the features of the Wikipedia application:
- Save article to read later or offline
- Search articles nearby
- Share articles using Android "Share" function
- Read article in a different language
- Full screen search
The application does seem quite nifty from the screenshots itself. Wikipedia for Android can be downloaded from here.

RPI Prof Wins Innovation Award
The work of Mohammed J. Zaki, a Rensselaer professor of computer science, will enable us to see links and patterns we did not know existed. In recognition of the importance of his work, Zaki has been selected for the 2010 HP Labs Innovation Research Program.
Zaki searches for so-called "graph" patterns – patterns represented by links between points – on an unprecedented level, designing algorithms and systems that connect data through multiple layers and links.
"The ability to connect all the dots from the disparate data sources is extremely important to gain critical insights into complex social, business, or scientific phenomena of interest," said Zaki.
Early systems for gathering and analyzing data were built on a "transactional" basis, looking at one transaction at a time within a particular category (such as an e-mail to a friend among e-mail records, or a flight to a particular destination among flight records, or an urgent visit to a hospital among hospital admissions records) independent of links that exist between those different transactions. With the preponderance of data, the need for a new model has grown.
"If you think of the data of the world today, everything is related to everything else," Zaki said. "Existing statistical frameworks have to be extended to reflect the new interconnectedness of this world."
For example, Zaki said, researchers may have studied the structural properties of social or other interaction networks, but have largely ignored the content of individual nodes and entities.
"Other people have primarily looked at the topology of the networks; my goal is to simultaneously add the content," Zaki said.
According to HP, the prestigious Innovation Research Program is designed to provide colleges, universities, and research institutes around the world with opportunities to conduct breakthrough collaborative research with HP.
HP reviewed more than 375 proposals from 202 universities across 36 countries. Rensselaer is one of only 52 universities in the world to receive a 2010 Innovation Research award. The HP Labs Innovation Research Program is designed to encourage open collaboration between HP and the academic community on mutually beneficial, high-impact research. This year's proposals were solicited on a range of topics within the eight broad research themes at HP Labs: analytics, cloud, content transformation, digital commercial print, immersive interaction, information management, intelligent infrastructure, and sustainability.
"Our goal with the HP Labs Innovation Research Program is to inspire the brightest minds from around the world to conduct high-impact scientific research, addressing the most important challenges and opportunities facing society in the next decade," said Prith Banerjee, senior vice president of research at HP and director of HP Labs. "Rensselaer has demonstrated outstanding achievement and we look forward to collaborating with it in this dynamic area of research."
The award will allow Zaki, working with HP labs, to tackle two specific problems: graph pattern mining and graph indexing.
Pattern mining allows data miners to establish whether a links exists between two or more things.
"We're looking for hidden patterns: Are entities connected? Are they connected in a particular configuration?" Zaki said.
Pattern mining enables advances in a broad variety of applications like the development of the semantic web, proteins-protein interactions, social networks, and pattern discovery.
Graph indexing refers to systems that can store complex graph and network data.
"Once you have enhanced interlinked data sets, how do you store them? It's a way of physically storing data on a system on the back end for rapid search and mining," Zaki said.

BUBEN&ZORWEG is, of course, always delighted to discuss customer preferences that are not covered by the BESPOKE LINE.

In these circumstances we discuss the details intensively with the customer so we can verify feasibility and provide a quote. To this end we need a little more time – time that we have already invested in the BESPOKE LINE and that enables our customers to take possession of their very own customised masterpiece without any additional expenditure of time of effort.

We have a planet that holds billions of people, yet a large number of those people only speak one language – their own – and would find it difficult to communicate with others who don't speak their language.
We're seeing more people travelling around the World, whether it's a short trip to a neighbouring Country, or a World cruise, the World is being explored and experienced first-hand so is it time we all learned a second language?
Esperanto is a constructed language, meaning it isn't a natural language that has evolved over time in the same way English or French has, but was created for the purpose of giving the World a way to communicate that wouldn't require having to learn a language that is, or perceived by a group to be, associated with a particular Nation or political system.
If every person on Earth could speak their own language as well as a common international language, then perhaps we could resolve many issues and possibly even avoid many of the conflicts that seem to be caused by lack of knowledge and understanding about other cultures.

Something I have noticed that many student bloggers do, and I am very much including myself in this, is to write short and snappy articles outlining how you solve 'x' problem; '10 Tips for X' etc etc.
Now, I'm certainly not about to advocate the doing away with such content. It's quick and easy to read, digest, and from personal experience I know that it can often be quite helpful – before starting university I read a lot of 'Top Tips for Freshers' guides and they helped me feel a little less nervous.
However, today I want to address something which can't be solved in a round 400 words, something which I wish people had said to me before I started uni.
And that is that university is hard. Like, really hard sometimes.
Perhaps you think this shouldn't come as a surprise, we all know that universities are places of academic rigor (or at least they should be) and so we can't expect it to be plain sailing all the time. However, the problem is that we are sold an image of university which is something like this:
[Picture] "A sunny field under a blue sky, groups of students laughing and carefree – more often than not, not looking at the books which lie open in middle of their circle of friends."
Or perhaps:
[Picture again if you will] "A serious looking student sitting in a well-lit library. They are clearly working hard but their face is a picture of health – no bags under the eyes here".
And sometimes university is like this. Often it is fun and you are surrounded by your friends for much of the time, and studying a subject you love is fulfilling.
Sometimes it is stressful and can feel like you're knocking your head against a wall. Sometimes despite your hard work you don't do as well as you wanted to in a class. Sometimes things going on at home or in your social life can take over and distract you from your goals.
I'm writing this because this is what happened to me last year. There were things going on at home, one of my parents was very ill, I was making poor decisions when trying to balance my social life and studies – all of which was compounded by the fact that I had high academic expectations of myself and felt that others did too.
This is not to say that I didn't have any good times second year. I had some really amazing experiences and memories I will treasure for a life time, but I was also stressed and unhappy for a lot of it. Being home for the summer has allowed me to take a step back, catch my breath and reflect on what went on.
I can see now that a lot of the time I was making myself stressed… because I was stressed? Whenever anything became difficult or didn't turn out as I hoped, I turned it into a reason that I wasn't good enough, that I wasn't a good student, rather than just seeing it as a natural setback that happens to everyone.
Talking to other people I have heard lots of similar stories. We all imagine that everyone else is finding things easier than us. That we are somehow uniquely deficient when it comes to the things that we want to be good at.
So, in summary, there is no easy answer to this. I'm still working it out for myself. But I think it's good for students to know that it's ok for things to not always be ok. Sometimes uni will be difficult and you will be stressed, but everyone else is feeling the same.
University is hard sometimes, but also, sometimes it's bloomin' amazing – and at the end of the day I wouldn't give it up for the world.
(Here's a really great video by the vlogger, Lucy Moon, addressing similar issues)

I fully admit that I'm a Star Wars geek, and not only have a cardboard cut-out of C-3PO and R2-D2, but an autographed picture of Chewbacca in my office. I've always wanted a life-size R2-D2 of my own, and I think I've found the perfect one.
This particular R2-D2 is a mini fridge that was offered up as a prize back in 2002 at 7-11 stores in Japan. As such, only a run of 1000 were made available. Somehow ToyEast has gotten their hands on one, and is selling it off for $1,070. If you've got a grand burning a hole in your pocket, then by all means jump on this one, as it likely won't last.

5 Cool Things You Can Do On A Road Trip To Cameron Highlands
Believe it or not, some of us actually love driving. Okay, sure, getting stuck in a KL jam is no fun, but cruising on a scenic road, taking in the curves on a winding trunk road, discovering small towns, and randomly stopping by the roadside every time we see snacks? LOVE!
View this post on Instagram
After the busy streets of Kuala Lumpur, we were longing for a place somewhere in the mountains, to feel the fresh, cool air. So, we packed our bags and took a trip to Cameron Highlands. Peaceful, green, a bit cold, with tea plantations and strawberries, it turned out to be exactly what we needed. ::: Do you enjoy an escape to the mountains? . . . #mountainviews #teaplantations #cameronhighlands #beautifulmalaysia #visitmalaysia #loveasia #travelescape #travelstribe #adreaminasuitcase #travelandexplore #fulltimetravel #followmyjourney #darlingplaces #prettywanderings #creatorswillcreate #romaniangirls #expatwoman #goseeplaces
We are into this stuff, people, coz you know what they say: "It's not about the destination; it's about the journey". So the next time you think about going for a quick getaway, try this route #TeamCLEO took recently. It was a three-day, two-night trip from KL to Cameron Highlands and back via Bentong, Raub and a little place barely anyone's heard of called Sungai Koyan.

Janda Baik pit stop
View this post on Instagram
– Aaand I'm on a mini holiday again! ? Hanging out at this gorgeous, recently-opened cafe that is managed by my boo bear! So proud of you babe! ❤ @jiengalacticpresident . . . #potd // #danigoesonholiday #miniholiday #weekendtrip // #cafe #jungle #nature // #enderongcafe #enderongresorttanarimba #enderongresort // #jandabaik #kualalumpur #kl #malaysia
Whether you're heading further out for a longer road trip and want an early pit stop, or just want a day out of the city, this place is a great option. Enderong Resort is a retreat located 600m above sea level in the hills of Janda Baik within the Tanarimba gated community. You can choose to stay here (you can either rent the whole bungalow or just get a room) or stop by for lunch or dinner at the Enderong Cafe.
What we like about it is that it's nestled deep in the countryside with rolling green hills wherever you look, but so easy to get to! You can even book a guide for treks in the forest around the area. Definitely worth a pit stop!
ROUTE: Take Route E8 on the Karak Highway from KL, exit at Genting Sempah, and continue to Enderong Resort, Tanarimba.
