I am aware that there are UL listed under cabinet strips available, and that there is a listing for them. I have a great connection on getting flexible LED strips from a supplier that I've used a lot. The strips are 12V, but not UL listed. I've looked under Art 410, and I'm just not 100% that I'm interpreting the text correctly. So the question is, are 12V LED strip lights required to be UL listed to be installed legally according to the NEC?

Where is the grass greener?
Have you noticed your surroundings lately, is the grass, greener over here or is it greener over there or maybe by the tree on the other side of the road… or is there just no green grass left anywhere because you find yourself living in a desert that you have created around you.
There are people all around the globe who are looking for greener pastures in the hopes that they can create a better life for themselves without taking into consideration what is already in their backyard. The backyard being themselves, people tend to look for excuses for not being successful, they blame anyone and everyone, anything and everything for not having the success they are wanting, yet they are unwilling to accept they have to change how they react to situations, actually they need to learn to take action instead of always reacting to others peoples actions.
The best example I can give you is you ask a prospect to join your business opportunity before knowing what it is that they are expecting, assuming they want exactly the same thing you do, more money, more time and a better lifestyle overall, makes sense right that is what everyone wants... or is it?
What exactly does this mean it means as we grow up we are influence day and night by those around us, we are given a set of beliefs that has been passed down from one generation to the next yes it has a few changes here and there but overall what your grandparents believed is what your parents passed on to you, thus you still have it in your belief system.
Thus the common belief from the outside world who are not involved with the Network Marketing industry believes that we breed off the weak minded people within society, the ones who are gullible, who don't know better and have no chance against our fancy sales tactics and cult ways. Yes, this is how the outside world sees us and by not changing our beliefs and what we teach others doesn't help us improve the industry nor does it make it easier for our team members to sponsor new people.
The outside world believes that people within the industry are scam artists, crooks and villains and the main reason for it is you and me and those people who actually don't stop others from ruining the industry's image even more, the unaware new marketer that doesn't know better, we cannot blame they are just doing what the person that recruited them told them to do. The key word is "Recruit" here, because they are being taught to go out and recruit anyone and everyone before they get a chance to get off the ground this mentality is just wrong, stop trying to have your new team members become recruiters who are trying to get grandma, mom and pop, aunts, uncles, younger and older siblings to join them before they even know what products they are offering.
Start instilling a new belief system, that we have a better way as Eric Worre says, and show them the better way, become the sponsor you wish you would have had, teach your new people what and how to say it before you send them out, don't teach them the; if you talk to 1000 people you will be successful, that is just not true and the bad thing is you know it, you do know it right, admit it you know it isn't so, so why do you not tell them otherwise, yes it is a numbers game, but do we have to punish them just because no one bothered to sponsor us properly.
I am sure at some point you said, when I have a team I will change this I will sponsor people properly when I can I just need a few more people to join, well guess what you can change it right now and you don't even need a big team yet, actually it is better not having a big team because what you teach your team is what they will teach theirs. So join me in creating a better system with your team thus improving the image of yourself and the industry which makes all our lives easier.

The government seems determined to push through the HS2 high-speed rail line, no matter what.
This bizarre obsession with a grandiose scheme costing £50 billion, that will cause untold misery and inconvenience to thousands of people for the next fifteen years, is defended with extraordinary illogicality.
For instance, it is argued that it will solve problems of capacity on the existing network. How, exactly, will a new railway line built between London and Birmingham increase capacity on the lines to Swansea, Penzance or Norwich? Let alone on the lines where the worst capacity problems are experienced, the cattle-truck commuter services in the Southeast?
Will it not simply deliver more passengers onto trains departing from Birmingham to onward destinations, thus worsening capacity problems in the Midlands?
And how, exactly, will a line that stops at Birmingham create economic growth in the North of England – forgetting that the Southwest and Wales are also among the worst-performing, most underinvested parts of the country? Birmingham is not in the North, although I suspect few London-based politicians know that. But it is already the second wealthiest city, after London.
The aim is to extend the line to Manchester and Leeds sometime in the 2030s, but a lot can change by then. My bet is that the line won't get beyond Birmingham, the northerly legs will be cancelled owing to rising costs. Would it not make more sense, if Northern regeneration is the aim, to start the new line at Leeds and work southwards?
And is there not in any case an argument that says the line is just as, or even more more likely to deliver additional prosperity to the South as to the North? The money following the money, as it were? Unless, that is, the service is only one-way. But it is hard to see exactly what prosperity is being talked about, and how it will be delivered. The evidence of the worldwide development of railways in the Victorian period is that prosperity may blossom around the railhead, but it is bled from communities not served by the line.
Then there is a simple point to be made about priorities. There are already adequate rail services between the various destinations proposed for HS2. To disparage them as 'Victorian' is disingenuous: the routes may have been laid down in the C19th, but the lines, the rolling stock and the stations — the ticket prices — are modern and could, given a fraction of the cost of HS2, be made more so.
Thanks in part to the Beeching cuts, other parts of the country are not connected to the rail network at all. Should these not be served first, and the network upgraded, before the national profit for the next fifteen years is expended on this one project, massively greedy for money and land? Should we not be focussing on high-speed broadband as a deliverer of future prosperity, rather than on wasteful physical travel?
HS2 will doubtless end up as the 'first-class' business service and have little to do with transporting ordinary people. It's easy to envisage a ticket costing £200, great for MPs and business executives, local authority bigwigs and NHS managers rushing between conferences on taxpayer-funded expenses. The ordinary traveller living at either end, hoping to visit relatives or attend job interviews or go Christmas shopping or get to far-flung airports will be shunted onto the existing 'slow line', a third-class service for a third-class citizen; a line so starved of funds that non-paying passengers will be carried, clinging to the carriage roofs.
Has anyone supporting this incomprehensibly expensive project tried to imagine actually using the service? Apart, that is, from fantasising about the thrill of hurtling uncontrollably through a blurred green landscape at 250 miles an hour, to a place where you would probably rather not be going, hoping against hope that bored children will not have dumped a concrete block on the line during the night?
Have they, for instance, ever travelled on Eurostar's dismayingly grotty 'low-speed' Channel Tunnel service, HS1, for which you have to book months in advance?
The pricing is unpredictable, fluctuating wildly according to demand, and there is seldom a seat available when you need to travel. Booking on-line is a matter of guesswork: you tell the computer when you need to travel and where from, and to; it tells you to guess again. The return journey is equally an uncertain process, with a completely different price being charged and no guarantee of seat availability at the time of your choosing.
Will this then be the model for HS2? You can't just turn up and get on a Eurostar TGV train, you have to 'check-in' half-an-hour ahead of departure and be searched for contraband. It's the train that thinks it's an airline, only with the shabbiest decor and most uncomfortable seating imaginable. Like an airline, in fact.
Only, one that never gets off the ground.

Is Dallas Headed for a Home Price Bubble?
Not at all!
The growth in home prices the past two years in the Dallas area is unprecedented. "Given the long stretch of strong reports, it is no surprise that people are asking if we're in a new home price bubble," said David Blitzer of Standard & Poors / Case-Shiller. "I would describe this as a rebound in home prices, not bubble and not a reason to be fearful." Dallas-area home prices are at a record high and about 15 percent ahead of where they were at the peak of the market before the recession, Case-Shiller says. Home prices are soaring thanks to strong economic growth in North Texas and a severe shortage of houses for sale, analysts say. Home prices are expected to rise at close to a 10 percent annual rate through the rest of this year and into 2016 in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Unlike in some markets where speculation drove home prices higher than many consumers can afford, the rise in values in North Texas is driven by economic growth. "This is not too surprising, given State Farm Insurance, Toyota, Liberty Mutual and all support firms that will follow them to North Texas," said Randall S. Guttery, real estate programs director at University of Texas at Dallas. "Demand simply exceeds supply. "To me, a bubble is an artificial price pressure on housing," he said. "I see nothing artificial about our market locally."

SwRI auto engineers say widespread use of self-driving cars a decade away
Self-driving cars are still a decade away from widespread use, perhaps longer, two automotive engineers from San Antonio's Southwest Research Institute said Thursday.
But when self-driving cars and trucks prove themselves as safe and efficient, use will rapidly become ubiquitous in the same way smart phones quickly replaced flip telephones, they said.
The comments from Ryan Lamm and Terry Alger came during a panel discussion before the four-day 2017 San Antonio Auto & Truck Show opened at the Convention Center downtown. More than 100,000 people are expected to attend the show that ends Sunday, inspecting more than 300 vehicles on display from about 70 area dealerships.
The Southwest Research Institute is helping develop technologies for self-driving vehicles for both the U.S. military and commercial carmakers, said Lamm, director of the applied sensing department of the institute's Intelligent Systems Division.
The U.S. military wants vehicles that can operate in harsh environments in platoons without human drivers who would be exposed to danger, Lamm said. The institute built an autonomous freightliner truck called "Big Red" with automated sensors, radar and vision systems, he told members of the Texas Auto Writers Association who are attending the auto show.
Research and development of regular self-driving cars and trucks will take years, said Lamm and Alger, director of spark-ignited engine research and development department at the institute's Powertrain Engineering Division.
They explained that there are five levels to get to fully autonomous vehicles. The car itself is level one. Level two is cruise control. Level three would begin automated driving, but drivers must be ready to take over whenever problems or emergency situations occur. Level four would allow self-driving all the time but only in limited areas, like parking lots. Level five is "brain off everywhere," allowing passengers to read, watch movies or even sleep, they said.
"As an industry, we are between levels two and three," Lamm said.
"When there is one automonous car, there is not much advantage. Other drivers could hit the automated car," Alger explained, adding, "It will be a decade before there are lots of autonomous cars, but then there will be a cascade where it happens quickly." He explained further that self-driving vehicles will be able to communicate with each other in networks pinpointing their destinations and where they will be at certain times to avoid collisions.
That would speed traffic and make vehicles more fuel efficient. "The CO2 (carbon dioxide) benefit could be insane," Alger said.
But self-driving research and development will take years to perfect because it now is taking a back seat to other research aimed at reaching a government fuel efficiency goal of an average of 54.5 miles per gallon of gasoline for each carmaker's fleet by 2025, Alger said.
Alger said costs would have to be affordable. "It will take the right hardware and the right price," he said.
Lamm said challenges for self-driving cars include being able to stop before reaching washed-out, flood-damaged roads and avoiding ducks and ducklings crossing a road. He displayed a photo of red stop sign that, with certain placement of white and black tape, could be misinterpreted by a self-driving car as a sign for a 100 mph speed limit.
"I don't think (autonomous cars) are coming as fast as we think it is coming," Lamm said.
The 49th annual San Antonio Auto and Truck Show hosted by the San Antonio Auto Dealers Association does not have any self-driving autos on display, but it does present the latest auto technologies, including electric cars and advanced integration with mobile telephones.
Ford's electric-car, the Fusion, includes a cellphone app that will allow electric-car owners to see when their car is fully charged at a public charging spot so they can move it, allowing other electric cars to charge there. The 2018 Ford F-150 offers a pre-collision assistance system using camera and radar systems that can apply brakes to prevent collisions.
The 2018 Nissan Pathfinder has a rear-door alert that chirps when drivers leave the car without removing items that had been placed in the back seat before the drive. The alert was developed by two Nissan engineers who also are mothers who were concerned about the deaths of children left alone in cars. The alert is being tested before being added to other Nissan models.
Other highlights of the auto show include new sport utility models being added by luxury carmakers Jaguar and Maserati. Dodge is unveiling a blue special-edition Ram 1500 pickup for 2017, which goes on sale this month. It is the Ram's final special edition planned by Ram.
Among the most expensive European luxury models — the Lotus, Bentley and Rolls Royce cars — a highlight is a special-order 2018 Aston Martin DB 11 that was made to celebrate British Queen Elizabeth's 50-year jubilee anniversary. The queen and Prince Philip are known as Aston Martin enthusiasts, and they gave son Prince Charles one for his 21st birthday in 1969. The price of the special-order, handmade 2018 Aston Martin is $262,878.
On Thursday, the Green Car Journal magazine editors named the winners of its 2018 awards for environmentally friendly models. The Green Car commercial vehicle award went to the Ford Police Responder Hybrid. The magazine's Green Truck award went to the Chevrolet Colorado. The 2018 Performance Green Car award went to Mazda's MX-5.
This article was updated to correct that the Chevrolet Colorado won this year's Green Truck award.

Today, the man who murdered three prostituted women in Bradford has pleaded guilty.
And again on the news, is the line that those women would be safer in legalised indoors prostitution. Again my heart sinks.
Prostitution can never be made safe enough – only by abolition.
Being a prostitute, whatever the location, whatever label place is on you – is to put in the position that being murdered is considered a hazard.
There are many dangerous jobs – firemen, miners, police – but must are killed by accident, not murdered on a regular basis.
Prostituted women and girls are murdered so often that most of their deaths go unreported.
Prostituted women and girls are murdered so often that most cop shows and crimes films have for plot device the nameless dead whore.
Prostituted women and girls are murdered so often that computer games make a joke out of killing the whore.
Prostituted women and girls are murdered so often that most forget they were ever human anyhow. They are just numbers.
That is what we want to make safer – maybe lessen the killings, but continue to ignore the everyday torture.
The concept that prostitution can be made safer if located indoors is a sickening thought.
It either comes from complete detachment or wanting to keep prostituted women and girls contained and controllable. It not about the reality of indoors prostitution.
Let think about a teenage girl outside the sex trade.
Say she is going slightly off the rails. She is drinking and trying out drugs, she is staying all night. She is sleeping with many men, usually not knowing their names or remembering their face. Some of those men are beating her, some are sexually abusing her.
She said she is happy and knows what she is doing.
But looking from the outside, those who love see she not eating well, she has terrible mood swings or may not give a shit about anything.
Would you take her word and let her carry doing as she wants – or would intervene, even shut in her room.
I know with girls outside the sex trade, there would be concern and even action.
But if the same behaviour is inside the sex trade – suddenly it is of little or no concern, it just seen as normal way for prostitutes to be.
Well, most of the indoors prostitution is the scenario of having to fuck strangers – strangers who owned you, and therefore have the right to do anything they want to your body and mind.
Where can there be safety in that.
No prostitution can be made safe when the foundations of all prostitution is the total ownership of the whore.
It not the location – whether on the street, in a car, in a flat, in a hotel room, behind a club – it is the men that creates the hate and violence.
It does not matter what label men put on the prostitute – street-worker, escort, lap-dancer, girlfriend-material, brothel worker – all will be bashed up, all will be sexually tortured and all can be murdered.
After all, the sex trade has built it business on hushing up all the violence. This is done by making out all the violence is just entertainment and fantasy.
That it cannot be real violence for the prostitute enjoy it – look she is smiling, look she keeps coming back for more – and no woman would be a prostitute unless she loved it.
That it cannot be real violence, for the sex trade does not allow sadistic johns in – it will throw them out or have a bad johns list.
That if there is violence, it only because it must be on the street or deregulated indoors prostitution – for the sex trade knows how to take care of it own business.
Now if you believe that, you would believe anything.
The sex trade thrives on getting sadistic johns, especially rich ones who used indoors prostitution mainly.
The sex trade is providing goods that these men can rape, can mentally abuse, can torture and may kill – without any prying eyes, without inconvenience of morals, with as time as they can afford, with the knowledge that the prostitute has no rights.
That is the reality of indoors prostitution. Tell me how you make that safer.
With that power-trip going on – all the so-called safety mechanisms are there just for show.
What's the point of cameras, alarm bells and bodyguard, if it is decided that forced sex and bashing can re-branded as rough sex or s/m. When the profiteer is providing gang-rape and violent sex as extras.
What's the point of condoms when as sadistic john refuses to put it on. When the prostitute can only earn a liveable amount of money if she does unsafe sex. When the vast majority of sadistic sex is not penetrating the vagina.
What's the point of regular health checks when it the johns that bring in STDs.
All this so-called safety measures are for profiteers, for johns and for the gullible who want to keep the status quo, so don't question too deeply.
It is never about the prostituted women and girls.

Free agent guard Derrick Rose is reportedly interested in re-signing with the New York Knicks, even if that means taking less money.
Rose, 28, is "healthy and working out" after undergoing knee surgery in April.
Derrick Rose's agent, BJ Armstrong, told me that Rose wants to re-sign with the Knicks: https://t.co/EmHsV5KXjA pic.twitter.com/lhXWxjnJZr
— Yaron Weitzman (@YaronWeitzman) June 15, 2017
Via Yaron Weitzman for Bleacher Report:
"Derrick loves New York and wants to be there," Rose's agent, B.J. Armstrong, told Bleacher Report recently. "We've expressed that to them and been very consistent about it. Whether it happens is on them; all we can do is be clear."
Armstrong said Rose, who underwent surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his left knee in April, is healthy and working out. He also insinuated that Rose would be willing to take a pay cut (he made $21.3 million last year).
"In the end, we want to explore everything—if you're going to compete, you clearly need a number of [top] players, so let's figure that out," Armstrong said. "We want the best team possible. That's it. All the other stuff, if the team wins, everyone wins."

Carnivals trigger something in us, don't they? Even if you're prone to motion sickness and realize that $5 for 3 darts to throw at some balloons is a little pricey, when the carnival comes to town, the kid inside of you screams LET'S GO!! I NEED FUNNEL CAKE AND AN OVERSIZED STUFFED ANIMAL LIKE RIGHT NOW!! Are we right?! That was certainly the case for us and our friends, Julie and Miller. These two are the kind of people who are game for anything. They're fun-loving, laid back, hilarious and very easy to talk to – the kind of people we love being around and the perfect double-date duo for an evening at the carnival followed by late night chips and queso at our favorite local cheap Mexican restaurant where we laughed until our faces hurt.
Jamie competed with Julie for a few years in the Miss Alabama system, and she remembers sitting in Julie's dorm room during competition week and watching Julie read love letters from Miller. The girls would try to get her to read them aloud, and she'd mostly always blush and refuse, except when Miller wrote something profound and adorable, then she'd share a little. Miller may deny it, but he is QUITE the romantic!
This romance came out while we were shooting at the carnival. Through most of the session, Julie and Miller were in their own world; laughing and playing, picking on each other and enjoying one another's company. They would steal kisses in between shots, and we would have to remind them to "save some for the camera, you guys!!" We could see the reactions of people at the carnival. They watched Julie and Miller be Julie and Miller, and they couldn't help but smile as they passed by us. Their love is so joyful, and that kind of joy is contagious.
Our friends will celebrate two years of marriage in July, and we're so excited for them. They really are a match made in Heaven. They understand one another and know that, in order to love together, you have to laugh together. Underneath their playfulness, it's obvious these two are so devoted to one another and to their marriage, and we know that they will see many more anniversaries together.
If year #2 calls for a carnival, what's next year, guys? Disney World sounds pretty good to us. We'll start planning.

March: I'll poach Caroline's manager as he's the only person in the entire country who can do this job. April: Think I'll make a few people redundant. May: Nigel who? It's good to see Lizzie moving on in the only way she knows how: by being a complete bee-atch. Next bit of core-shaking: See Roy, below.
Roy – When Caroline lent Roy to the Grieving Widow to help her out, she forgot what Lizzie's like. Before you could say, 'that's a bit of a rum do,' Lizzie had enticed Roy away by dint of a humungous salary made up of a newly-redundant falconry expert's wages. Plus a fancy new car and the confidence that every time he wipes his arse she'll tell him what a fantastic job he's doing. I'm certainly not the only person to notice that Lizzie and Roy are very much enjoying spending some quality time with each other. Next bit of core-shaking: I can't shy away from this, though the very thought gives me the willies. Clearly Roy and Lizzie are going to have an ill-fated dalliance among the famous Lower Loxley rose-bushes, a low-rent Mellors/Lady Chatterley de nos jours. This will have knock-on effects on everyone, especially me. God, imagine the dialogue.
- Roy: Ohhh, Elizabeth.
- Lizzie: Ohhh, Roy.
- Roy: Oi never realised you was such a goer Elizabeth.
- Lizzie: I never realised a fellow of the lower orders could have such a massive, er, CV.
Ok, if this starts I'm switching to Ambridge Extra for the duration.

Maritiman is a maritime experience centre located on Packhuskajen quay close to the Opera House. It consists of nineteen moored ships joined by walkways.
I hadn't planned to visit the Maritman, it was en route on my walk from the Gothenburg City Museum to Gotheborgsutkiken (aka the Lipstick). I'm not that interested in ships, but once I checked that the SEK 120 admission fee was waived by having a Gothenburg City Card, I decided to take a look.
The lightship Fladen, reminded me of the North Carr lightship, which is moored in Dundee in eastern Scotland. The Fladen was built in Stockholm in 1915.
HMS Smaland, which left active naval service in 1979, is the largest preserved destroyer in Scandinavia.
I found it eerie to be up close and personal with the Smaland's massive firing power.
There are some good views towards the Opera House and the Lipstick from the front of Smaland.
The Paddam sightseeing boat tours pass the Maritiman.
There are another two naval vessels, HMS Hugin and HMS Kalmarsund moored at behind Smaland, which are not accessible.
The cargo ship Fryken was built in Denmark in 1938. It sailed between harbours in Lake Vanern (the largest lake in Sweden), Gothenburg (via the Gota Canal) and the east coast of Britain.
There was some light rain during my visit to Maritiman. I was really glad that I decided to play it safe by putting my camera phone back into my handbag and using both hands to hold on the side of ladders and walkway ropes, as it did get a bit slippery.
There are several Sea Laboratory stations featuring experiments and puzzles located around the Maritiman. Some kids were having great fun learning about hydrodynamics and surface tension.
You should check the opening times at the Maritiman before visiting. Hours vary, and t's closed from October to Easter, except for the local Autumn holiday, which is usually the first week in November.

some fo the do get natural exposure because they are part of an existing program.
Some others though are hidden in the site and get very little traffic and sales potential.
The sales for these e-books is right now with the vital membership.
What can be done next?
- Create a new autoreseponder + automatic blog posting for it?
- Create a set of videos to promote it?
- Offer it for free in exchange of for instance a youtube subscription?
- Offer it as a stand alone product rather than with the vital membership?
- Simply create new e-books and keep posting them the way I did?
- New fire targets which have nothing to do with that line of action?
- Something else?
When the vital membership is reinforced for all products, creating new e-books flows and makes sense.
Now, when offering some channels for free, this contradicts the vital membership build up.
The fire to create new e-books partially drops down because the target (vital memberships sign ups) is no longer top priority.
Something else is above that target which is the ashramic vibes I talked earlier about in other posts.
So, what's the direction?
I need an answer on that one!

Almost overnight, his once wide range of tastes became very narrow. He cut off most food with the exception of foods with sharp, pungent tastes (extra sharp Cheddar and Parmesan cheese, natural peanut butter, and ketchup) and crunchy textures (bell peppers, cucumbers, carrots, grapes, romaine lettuce hearts). We thought he was experiencing the "picky eater" stage and would soon outgrow it and become the grazing omnivore once more.
Montessori Education for Children With Sensory Processing DisorderTwelve years later, I am surprised to say that not much has changed. Another thing happened about this time. I started noticing when we went to the park, he always begged to go on the swing, but then immediately wanted off. As he grew older, he preferred swinging by lying on his tummy; he never wanted to sit upright. He became fearful of unknown staircases and escalators, refusing to go on them unless he was held. Learning to roller skate and ride a bike were difficult, too. As much as he wanted to be like the other children, he just couldn't do it. He complained about being 'tired' and wanting to be carried on short outings. Again, I wasn't worried – I stayed true to the philosophy of Montessori and followed my child. After all, he knew better than I what his needs were and there were so many other, more important issues.
It wasn't until the summer of fourth grade when an acquaintance started telling me about her work as an occupational therapist did I begin to question what was shaping my son's world. She asked if I had ever had heard of Sensory Integration Dysfunction (now referred to as Sensory Processing Disorder). I had to admit that I had not. She gave me a copy of Carol Kranowitz's book, The Out of Sync Child. What I read described my child to a "T".
Children who React Differently
As Montessori teachers and parents, we have the opportunity to interact with many different children. Each child is unique, with their own individual personalities and 'quirks'. However, some seem a bit more 'quirky' than others. There is the child who:
- refuses to wear socks no matter what weather because they make her feel 'trapped'
- covers his ears as if in pain at the slightest noise (vacuum, telephone, airplane overhead)
- wears her clothes inside out because the seams are so rough and irritating to her skin
- must lay his head down all the time
- is 'too tired' to walk by himself
- can't stand to be held, hugged, or touched, or conversely, needs to be held and touched all the time
- must always have something to chew on, even after outgrowing the "oral" stage of development
- gets carsick 5 minutes after leaving the house
- is repulsed by rough/sticky/wet/soft clammy sensations
- gags on food of different textures/temperatures/tastes
- has a sense of smell that is far more developed than anyone else around
- doesn't realize he's been hurt or is bleeding
- spins for hours without ever getting dizzy
- is extremely sensitive to light and prefers playing in semi-dark to dark rooms.

Web Development
Project Assessment
As mentioned in the pricing section above, the first step in the development process is to assess the scope of the project by defining and prioritizing all of the project requirements. Here is some useful information regarding this process:
- if you are worried about the confidentiality of your project, we have non-disclosure/confidentiality agreements prepared in several languages.
- if you already have a formal requirements document prepared, then please send a copy to use for evaluation.
- for small projects, please use our online price offer form.
- for larger projects or if you prefer to meet in person please contact us directly by email or phone.
- if you are not in Budapest, Skype or chat meetings are suggested. Please contact us by email or phone to arrange a date and time.
ExpatTech Web Development
Building websites and web applications is our principle business focus here at ExpatTech. Each member of the ExpatTech development team has at least 10 years of experience and this plus means that your project will always be tasked to capable hands. Your project will always be handled in-house; we never farm out your As a company, we have provided web development solutions to clients in Budapest, Hungary, Europe and the United States since 2006.
Our company creates all of its solutions for the LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) platform. We do NOT currently support or endorse any Microsoft solutions like ASP or .NET. We do not use bloated open source solutions like Joomla (we will, however, help you migrate away from Joomla if you are currently stuck with it). We also will never talk about "Web 2.0" or any of the antiquated approaches it describes. What we do support and endorse is integrating business and consumer websites with other websites and web apps to further online functionality.
For all but the simplest of web projects, we use a variety of technologies in our solutions. This blended approach to web development includes technologies like (x)HTML 5, CSS 3, PHP, AJAX, Flash, Java, Javascript, Red5, jQuery, and MySQL.
Of course, with all of our solutions, we implement the lightest client-side load as possible by using the latest valid CSS 3 and HTML 5 techniques. When using extra presentation layers, we always make sure to use best-practices like "unobtrusive Javascript" to ensure accessibility and compliance.
All of our websites are SEO friendly. We ensure that all site content can be indexed properly by spiders and bots. We also provide control over URL's, title tags, and metadata within our custom content management system.
Compatibility & Usability
One challenge for web developers is making websites functional and look good in all the various browsers and on monitors of all various resolutions. We approach the browser cross-compatibility issue by using progressive enhancement. This technique basically says that it is easier to build a website to work for older browsers (like the dreaded IE 6) and then to enhance it with functionality that is only understood by modern browsers. Many development companies build a completely cohesive modern website first and then struggle to make it work in older browsers. We've found that this approach is not very efficient.
To tackle the problem of varying screen resolutions, we always work closely with the client during design time to select the right combination of fixed, fluid, and elastic page components. You can read more about these types of website sizing techniques on our web-design page.
Web Development Categories
Small/Medium Websites: Small to medium size business or personal websites can usually be completed in a few weeks. They always include a content management system and usually some additional services from our list of ancillary services. These type of websites usually range from 100 000Ft to 800 000Ft.
Large Websites: Large websites are usually completed in several months. Unlike small websites, they are usually built to run on several servers with full load balancing. They also usually require multi-media development and integration with other websites and applications. These types of websites usually range from 1 000 000Ft to 20 000 000Ft
Web Applications and Games: Whether a business application, a Facebook application, or a Flash game, web apps are built to perform tasks or provide entertainment over the internet. These types of projects can range greatly in their pricing, but most apps can be completed for 600 000Ft to 1 800 000Ft in a few weeks.
Desktop App / Web App Combo: Many times a project involves a combination of desktop and web development. Creating fully integrated cross-platform solution is just another example of the type of solutions we provide. Pricing on these types of custom jobs requires the full assessment process.
Ancillary Services
Our company also provides the full range of supporting services to accompany your web development project. These ancillary services include:
Logo & Branding Services
Our graphic artists can help you define the perfect look for your new company
Web Design
We'll use all of your functional & aesthetic requirements design a website which is usable and compliant with all of the latest web standards.
Animation, Video & Music Production
Whether you need some custom artwork, Flash animation, video production, or even music tracks for your project. ExpatTech has the artists, equipment, and studio to produce to fulfill your project's multimedia requirements.
Marketing Services
ExpatTech also provides online marketing services. We can help you develop email and newletter campaigns by integrating your site with Mailchimp.com. We can also help you use Google Analytics, Google Adwords, or any of the ad-networks like Doubleclick.com. Additionally, we can connect yoru site with social networking sites like Facebook and Twitter. Whatever your marketing requirements maybe be, ExpatTech can find a solution that fits your time and budget.
Search Engine Optimization
Search Engine Optimization (SEO) is a process and not an instant cure. Successful SEO starts with creating a website that is built to maximize the effectiveness of its content on search engines. After developing a properly constructed website, SEO becomes a matter of analyzing the competition, continually creating valuable content, and continually building inbound links. ExpatTech can help with the fundamentals and educate your company to become self-reliant.
Web Hosting
ExpatTech contains rack-space in data centers in Hungary and in the United States. We can provide hosting and mirror space on both sides of the globe.
Hardware Procurement
Should your website require its own equipment we can procure and configure any combination of server equipment.

Chris Brown Proves He's Still The Chris Brown-iest By Hissing At Adrienne Bailon On Instagram
I don't know if I should prep you all by issuing an EXTREME DOUCHEBAG ALERT for this story, or just assume you already did that on your own when you saw Chris Brown's face up there, but either way – extreme douchebag alert.
According to TMZ, society's impacted wisdom tooth Chris Brown got all kinds of ragey after hearing that Adrienne Bailon was talking shit about his girlfriend Karrueche Tran yesterday on The Real. I guess the topic was assholes and the dum-dums who love them, because Adrienne shot out that the reason someone like Karrueche stays with someone like Chris despite the fact that he's as pleasant as an infected toenail, is because she and her friends love the fame and all the perks that come with hanging around Chris Brown (if you can think of any, feel free to email me).
Once Chris found out someone was throwing shade at his lady, he took to Instagram to post a picture of Adrienne (which he later deleted) calling her a "trout mouth ass bitch", as well as accusing her of keeping her legs open to married men and humping on a Kardashian (Rob) for fame. He also came for Adrienne's The Real co-host Tamar Braxton, calling her a "Muppet face ass" and "the ugly sister". Ooooh, RUDE DOT COM!
But even after he deleted the picture, he wasn't done mouth-barfing hot shit. He then posted a video of himself to Instagram hissing that everybody is entitled to their opinion, that sometimes you're the bug and sometimes you're the windshield, and "what you drink don't make me piss", whatever the fuck that even means. Us Weekly says Karrueche then added to the drama by Instagramming a picture of herself and commenting: "Unlike most of you… I could care less about the opinions of others.. Drama doesn't amuse me – so yes @tamarbraxton I do have a voice, just not like yours.. However my bf I can't speak for.. We all know he has no chill." No, don't worry Karrueche – nobody has forgotten that your aggressive face-punching asshole boyfriend has "no chill."
This fight is beyond.com. Trout mouth ass bitch? Muppet face ass??? As in, Tamar's ass looks like the face of a Muppet? That doesn't even make sense. Chris Brown, get your life! No, seriously, you're too old for this shit.

Let us make the font size bigger (Zooming)
Make a way to make the font size in the application bigger.
The zoom feature has released to the public ring. Using CRTL + or CTRL – zoom in and out on a Windows PC.
I need to correct the information I provided last month about MAC. It appears the MAC version is still in testing and hasn't yet gone out to the public. It is "In Testing" but will be coming to the public soon!
The item tracking this specific update can be found at: https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/admin/v3/suggestions/16933183/activity
There now is a UI element that tells you your current zoom level and a Setting within the UI to preset your zoom preference.
Since the zoom feature could very well cover the vast majority of user needs, based on the majority of comments and feedback, I will flag this item as Partially Done.
Thank you for all the feedback and support!

Mayank commented
Doesn't seem to work with the latest update. I hope this does not require Num +/- keys.
Garry commented
Is this the same in Mac? Shortcut for this isn't working for me.
Harrison Hudson commented
Ditto. This doesn't seem to work for any of us either.
More agreeing with everyone. Ctrl +/- is just how you zoom in/out in the browser of course that works there.... ctrl +/- seems to do nothing in the desktop app. We need to be able to adjust the font in the desktop app! we have several team members who can't use the app because they can't read the font on a hi-res laptop display. Please add the feature and don't mark this as completed.
Alan Smith commented
Similarly - doesn't seem to work for me at this point.
Jaki Diamond commented
Doesn't work on my desktop app. I did the updates and still not working. It is very frustrating for those of us with eyesight issues to not be able to adjust the font to any size needed. Only in creating a message do you get s/m/l.
Zsolt Levente Janosi commented
When is this going to be available ? (OsX app)
Gabby Molinolo commented
Can barely see font at high resolution. Why not Zoom like in all other products?
Tamir Orbach commented
This makes the entire app unusable on a resolution higher than 1080P. I literally can't use this. Please fix.
Tam H commented
agreed !
Nathan Yang commented
There should also be code/monospace fonts and serif fonts so that we can differentiate between normal text, code text, quote text, etc.
Adding my agreement on this.
Andrey commented
Desktop app does not seem to support scaling as 120% does not really make any difference. Slack has no such issue. Perfectly support Ctrl+ to make font bigger and also adhere to windows scaling %.
Good suggestion. I find the font on the desktop app to be too small!
Adding in another agree. It's nice, I suppose, that I can change my font size, but that's a little onerous - you can only do it per message, not overall. And there's nothing I can do to increase the font size of the people chatting with me.
Zoom bigger fonts
John M commented
Tool is unusable with the tiny font. Please increase it or give us the option to.
Ben commented
Agreed. This is Accessibility 101.
Peter Tran commented
Slack allows us to see 21 lines of history vs. 9 for Teams. Allowing font configuration should help with this.
TStanwood commented
Need to use the web version because the desktop app font is too small. You need someone on the team who's over the age of 45 to sign off on all apps released from Microsoft because we don't see like people in their 20 and 30s. That said, thanks for the Dark interface option.

This Is Why I'm Not A Hotel Receptionist
When you're a boy in your mid-teens in the home counties of England in the early to mid eighties, things like this are the punch in the face you need if you don't want your life to be something that begins at 5.30pm on a Friday every week.
In time, although my interests and tastes in photography have travelled across a lot of ocean, Bailey's work and story have remained as the Greenwich meridian of my photographic core and even now, when I look at his work all these years after first finding it, I feel that I am back in my home port.

Terrific read. Thank you for the link.
"Try not to be the kind of man that lights up a room by leaving it"
Thanks chris, i almost spat hot tea all over my laptop! great stuff man.
"things like this are the punch in the face you need if you don't want your life to be something that begins at 5.30pm on a Friday every week."
That describes my life before I moved from graphic design to photography. My life began at 5:00pm on Friday and promptly ended at 8am Monday. Now I actually enjoy what I do. (Although I still have clients that drive me insane sometimes.)
This was a great article.

Saturday Walk Marlow Circular
Length: 13.4 miles/21.6km 4 out of 10
The morning is an easy walk along the Thames Path, followed by a hilly afternoon through woods back to Marlow. There are shortcuts that end in Henley.
Trains: Take the 09.57 Didcot train from Paddington (Ealing Broadway 1005), changing at Maidenhead 1034 to get the 1038 Marlow train from platform 5B. Return trains are hourly at xx06
Lunch: Lunch is at Flower Pot in Aston, with its large garden and food all day 9.9km (6.2 miles) into the walk
Tea: Various options with a pub by the station: The Marlow Donkey

N=13 on a w=hot-muggy day which made the 12 miles, that most opted for, an arduous affair. Herds of detectorists and white deer were spotted in the fields leading to the Flowerpot. Still some flowers and butterflies too. Service in the Flowerpot seemed efficient given how busy it was, I didn't hear many whimpers of discontent. In the afternoon, Homefield Wood was teeming with wildflowers and butterflies (for the lepidopterally minded, big orange ones and little blue ones). Then back to the Marlow Donkey where some of us indulged in a half pint or so of selected beverages.

6 did the full mile Marlow Circular, 5 walking the regular 13.4 mile main walk, 1 doing the alternative ending so 14.8 miles.

As the representative of the lepidoterally-minded, I felt it my duty to visit Homefield Wood and check out your report. The big orange butterflies are silver-washed fritillaries: lovely to find another place where they flourish, so thanks. The blue ones were Common Blues, for once living up to their name. That so many flowers have defied the drought is a wonder.

I've got a roll of 120 Portra 160 in my Mamiya Universal to finish, then I'll maybe take out the 1937 Zeiss Ikon Nettar with the other roll of Portra 160 I have or I might use up some of that Ilford ISO 3200 or 2300 to see what that looks like.
This might kick start my black and white processing(!).
On a separate note, I saw the video from the FPP guys of Mike Rasso about town with a Crown Graphic. I'm thinking of hunting one down to maybe try 4×5 large format.
I know that sounds a bit crazy because I doubt there's anywhere in Edinburgh that will still process large format (that'll cost less than the Million Dollar Man's eyeball) or I'm going to have to home develop and need one of those big square developing tanks … or use 'The Taco Method'.
The Taco Method means you place one or more sheet(s) of 4×5 film into a standard developing tank curved into the shape of a taco shell with the help of a loose elastic band emulsion side in.
I'm sure price will be the buffer between me actually buying a Crown Graphic unless I win the lottery. If I ever win the lottery, not even a big win … eek! too many .. cameras … not enough time!

P Guesthouse has easily the best views in Sangkhlaburi, no question. A deceptively sprawling complex, with restaurant terrace and its biggest and most expensive rooms at the top and a pathway through its grassy little gardens right down to a wooden jetty on the lake itself, the place has a somewhat Flinstones-like feel to it, but appears to have eschewed the so overtly 'wild west' image for which it has garnered a reputation (even if the walls of its restaurant are still lined with cowboy hats, tribal masks and replica guns, and even if most the male staff do look like cowboys of one form or another).
The air-conditioned rooms are large and spacious, and the bathrooms massive, even if both lack any real charm once you're inside. The whole place is immaculate, though, while service is friendly but unobtrusive, with staff at times seeming to outnumber guests! A whole range of services is available, from bike and motorbike rental (by the hour or whole day; 70B per day for a bike, 200B for a motorbike) to full tours and day trips including elephant trekking and bamboo rafting (they also hire out kayaks). Internet access is available by the hour from two terminals in the restaurant, and there is free wi-fi – though both are prone to being temporarily knocked out by the odd storm.
Food is not the best in town, but there is a wide range of good Thai and international fare on offer nonetheless, and it's all reasonably priced – also try the spicy Burmese curries. The cute selection of locally-produced jewellery at reception is also worth a look.
It's the views, though, that really steal the show for P Guesthouse. Whether from your balcony at the top of the site, or from a seat on the stone terrace in front of the restaurant – easily the most Bedrock-inspired part of the whole place – just about every Sangkhlaburi sight is within view: the lake directly in front, the golden stupor of the famous Wat Wang Wiwekaram temple on the opposite bank to your left, the Mon village to the right, and the rickety old wooden bridge straddling the water.
For sunbathing, for swimming in the lake, for adventure sports, for massages (the staff will even bring in a couple of lovely Burmese ladies for an hour or two's treatment on the grass, if you ask) or simply for eating, drinking and staring out at nothing, P Guesthouse has it all. Even when it's apparently full with guests, it can feel as if you have the whole place to yourself. It is a top spot for relaxation and, if that is what you're after, you won't do better than this.

Missouri vs. Auburn: Score, Grades and Analysis from SEC Championship 2013December 8, 2013
Auburn didn't need any miracles this time around—just a historic rushing performance that tore up the Southeastern Conference record books.
Gus Malzahn's vaunted offense rushed for an SEC Championship Game record 545 yards and overcame a four-touchdown day from James Franklin, as Auburn defeated Missouri, 59-42, to capture its second conference title in four seasons.
As noted by Jon Solomon of The Birmingham News, Malzahn became just the third coach in SEC history to capture the conference in his first year:
The scene at the Georgia Dome was unlike any in SEC Championship Game history. The two sides broke the game's total scoring record in the third quarter, marched up and down the field against flummoxed defenses that did not come close to resembling the juggernauts on that side of the ball that the SEC has made its name on for years.
There were eight lead changes and more than 1,100 total yards, but it was Auburn's ground game that ruled the day.
Pounding the ball into an overmatched Missouri front seven, Auburn needed only 11 passes to score a dominant offensive performance. Malzahn's play-calling rarely deviated from a few basic calls, but still managed to dominate a Missouri defense that came into the weekend ranked No. 14 against the run.
In particular, running back Tre Mason entered the Heisman conversation with a record-setting day of his own. Mason rushed for a championship game record 304 yards and four touchdowns, carrying the ball a career-high 46 times on his way to the game's Most Valuable Player Award.
The junior back's final touchdown, a 13-yard scamper following a failed Missouri fourth-down conversion, capped off a dominant fourth quarter from Auburn. Ahead only 45-42 going into the final 15 minutes, Auburn worked its way down the field on an eight-play drive capped off by Mason to go ahead by 10 with 11:09 remaining.
Then the Auburn defense, which had been torched for the first three quarters, got two key stops at a time when Missouri's defense was in desperate need of some rest.
While the final quarter belonged to Auburn, the first three frames were as exciting as any game in the entire 2013 season. The two sides traded scoring drives for the entire first half, with neither Auburn nor Missouri able to score without the other driving back down the field.
Auburn quarterback Nick Marshall scored two first-quarter touchdowns. Marshall's nine-yard rush with 4:09 remaining in the first gave Auburn a 14-10 lead, but he allowed Missouri back into the game with a fumble returned for a touchdown to start the second
Not that Franklin and Co. needed all that much help. When Auburn wasn't giving Missouri a shortened field, Franklin was finding holes in the secondary. He connected with Dorial Green-Beckham from 28 yards out in the first quarter and 55 yards out with 18 seconds remaining in the first half, as Missouri went into the halftime break down 28-27.
Franklin struggled at points with accuracy and had trouble when Auburn brought pressure, but finished with 303 passing yards and three touchdowns. His 10-yard touchdown pass to Marcus Murphy with 5:35 left in the third quarter gave Missouri a 34-31 lead—the last time the No. 5 team in the country would lead in the game.
Auburn went right back up the field in six plays, with Corey Grant scoring for two yards out to put his side up for good.
The victory caps a storybook season for Malzahn and his team. Taking over a program that went 3-9 in 2012, including an 0-8 mark in the SEC, Auburn was looked at as being two or three years away from national contention. Instead, the orange and blue side of Alabama will patiently await the result of the Big Ten and ACC Championship Games. Should either Ohio State or Florida State lose, Auburn will slide into the national championship game.
And, after such a brilliant performance Saturday night, there will be some who clamor for Auburn to do so anyway.
Player Grades
Tre Mason (RB, Auburn): A
In a time where it seems like top contenders are treating the Heisman like the plague, Mason may have played himself into an invite to New York City. The Auburn running back was brilliant in the Tigers' two biggest games of the season, pounding Alabama for 164 yards last week and setting the SEC record on Saturday.
Read-option styles tend to inflate running back statistics, but you could tell watching Mason run that he'd excel in almost any system. He broke multiple runs to the outside that were originally designed inside the tackle, flashing impressive vision and patience to find holes and break long gains.
Missouri's defense, of course, helped matters by seemingly guessing rather than watching the ball and taking poor tackling angles. That said, you can't poke holes in Mason's performance. He was the most spectacular player on the field all night long
Nick Marshall (QB, Auburn): B-
The Tigers have zero interest in passing the ball. Gus Malzahn makes no bones about that fact in his play-calling. Marshall only throws when the down and distance requires it or when defenses load the box to the point it forces the team's hand.
So it was more than a little concerning to see Marshall failing to perform his two overarching tasks—protecting the ball and running the read-option—in the first half. Marshall fumbled three times, two of which went Missouri's way and one of which went for a touchdown. Against another team, those turnovers could have single-handedly caused Auburn to lose.
Luckily, Missouri's defense cratered on most other possessions and Marshall responded by not letting the mistakes get to him. The junior quarterback looked solid when forced to pass, ran the ball well when he wasn't handing it off to Mason, and by the fourth quarter was at the helm of an offense that was steamrolling its opponent.
James Franklin (QB, Missouri): B
If you learned one thing on Saturday, it's that watching Franklin isn't always pretty. Auburn defensive backs, who won't be having much fun in the film room, dropped multiple would-be Franklin interceptions in addition to the one they picked off.
Franklin, who had not completed less than 60 percent of his passes in a game all season, was at times wildly inaccurate. Passes sailed over receivers' heads, and oftentimes even the ones in a teammate's vicinity necessitated body contortion to pull in.
And yet, looking at Franklin's overall stats, you come away with what looks like an elite performance. The breakdowns in Auburn's coverage left massive yards-after-catch opportunities for Missouri, and wideouts like Green-Beckham responded by breaking huge gains.
Couple that with Franklin's prowess on the ground, and it's hard to quibble too much—even if the process was pretty ugly at times.
Dorial Green-Beckham (WR, Missouri): A
Even if you take away the first quarter Green-Beckham touchdown that should have been called back because replays showed that he bobbled the ball, the kid had a night to remember. At 6'6" and 225 pounds, Green-Beckham is a matchup nightmare for every team in the country. For an Auburn squad that was struggling just to stick in its basic coverages, covering the sophomore wideout proved to be an impossibility.
What's even more impressive is that Green-Beckham produced his big day while dealing with a shoulder injury. He went down in the first quarter with what was described as a shoulder strain, per ESPN SEC, but toughed it out after a quick trip back to the locker room.
A highly touted recruit coming out of high school, Green-Beckham is well on his way to living up to his prodigious hype. His two touchdowns on Saturday give him 12 for the season, and could set up for a huge junior campaign.
Even in the loss, Green-Beckham jumped off the screen.
What's Next?
Both teams will find out where they'll be playing on Sunday. Auburn are now favorites for a berth in the BCS National Championship after Ohio State's loss. Missouri's fate will be up to the whims of the pollsters. It's possible that they could unseat Alabama and move into the No. 4 spot, but if not, they'll be barred from the BCS bowl picture.

RUSSELL WANGERSKY: The winter nights
For it is February, and the idea of winter is often tiring now. The dirty banks of snow are coughing up their gutful of detritus, and cold mornings on the way to work seem like one more trial to be endured. But…
Sometimes, you work your way into the bare branches of the alder brush, the snow hard and crunching and up to your knees, and you make your choice between staying in cover with the deep-drifted snow or making fast progress across open barrens that are at least wind-swept clear. That choice, of course, is between the tiring slog of the drifts, or the knife-cut of that snow-clearing wind across your face.
The air is sharp and dry in a way it isn't in summer, the sky bright, and there are berries left on some of the exposed bushes, berries that are dried hard like shrunken Christmas ornaments left on the tips of the branchlets. Sometimes, they're broken up, broken open recently, seeds and leathery skins scattered about, and if you look hard enough, you can see the fading tracks of the birds that have picked the berries apart. Sometimes, it's the repeated footprint semaphore of field mice or voles, or the Morse of rabbits, dot-dot, dash-dash.
Enough life around to let you know that, for some creatures, there's nothing unusual about the constant cold.
With the leaves off the trees and shrubbed alders, you can see the shape of the land better, can see the dips and folds and hollows, until you finally reach a spot where you know there has to be standing water: dowsing with nothing more than your eyes. It's practice that slows you down, that makes your feet do more than simply step confidently ahead — your stride changes as you set your feet down more gently, testing the ground, trying to feel the give of it to decide if ground has become marsh, has become shallows, has become pond.
And then you're on the flat plane of it. Once fully on the ice, the very flatness of it gives the pond away, even under the snow. You don't need to see it to know it.
You've kept track of the bitter cold nights and the days that swing between freeze and thaw, and can anticipate the ice's thickness. The sun is bright white on everything, and the snow only serves to accentuate that.
Sometimes, it's the repeated footprint semaphore of field mice or voles, or the Morse of rabbits, dot-dot, dash-dash.
You're dressed warmly enough to kneel on the ice, warmly enough to stretch out flat and brush the snow away from the clear surface of the pond there in front of your face.
Pressure cracks shoot through it, some wide, white and opaque, others so thin and new that they are like a break in crystal. It is the fine new ones that catch the sunlight and break it into brilliant and waved rainbows, crazed blues and reds and violets.
In all sizes, entrained air bubbles hang, caught in frozen fixative, and there seems no reasonable explanation of physics for why a vertical line of bubbles can be so many different sizes, or why there are bunches here, while there it is only clear ice reaching down into the dark.
Later on, after you're back and warmed up in a wood-stoved cabin, filled full with dinner, the cold driven back out of your fingers and toes, you might go outside and stare up at the clear night sky.
And realizing, jarringly, how much the bright stars and dark sky, the purpled stretch of the Milky Way and the vague drawings of constellations, look like the ice-stopped pattern of bubbles and cracks from the recent afternoon, fixed under ice.
