Performed by Dr. Rootman at his Toronto centre, Custom LASIK is laser eye surgery at its most refined. Every eye has its imperfections. Custom LASIK utilizes new Wavefront™ technology that creates a topographical map of your eye before surgery. After examining this map, Dr. Rootman is able to fine-tune your treatment for the unique corrections you need to achieve crystal clear vision. The precision of custom LASIK allows for the most accurate vision correction possible.
Blade-free LASIK with Intralase-« laser technology is the first "all laser" LASIK procedure. Traditional LASIK utilizes both a finely-focused laser and a metal blade to accomplish vision correction. The blade, or microkeratome, used to be the only means of creating a flap in the cornea. At his Toronto centre, Dr. Rootman performs laser eye surgery using blade free IntraLase-« LASIK for the safest vision correction.
Because not everyone is an ideal candidate for LASIK, our Toronto centre offers several vision correction alternatives that provide correction of virtually the same quality as LASIK. Photo Refractive Keratectomy (PRK), implantable contact lenses (ICLs), IEK, and DSEK are other methods used by Dr. Rootman and his corneal specialist associates for restoring vision. At Yonge Eglinton Laser Eye + Cosmetic Centre in Toronto, Dr. Rootman can perform any of these laser eye surgery alternatives to give you crisper, clearer vision.

Toronto ward boundaries 1834-1908
Toronto's ward system -- basically, the way the city is split up for local government purposes -- has changed many times over the years. Today, there are 44 wards in the city. In 1834, there were only five, as well as "liberties" outside the settled part of the city.
It is important to understand the basic layout of wards if you plan to make the most effective use of old census returns, directories and other source material. That is not as easy as it sounds, because it is hard to find maps that show all of the possible permutations of the ward boundaries.
The maps on this site show the 12 basic ward layouts that were used during the first 74 years of the city's existence. They were compiled based on the information included in more than a dozen Toronto histories and old reference books. Not surprisingly, at times the sources didn't agree -- and in those cases, the maps reflect the most likely choice.
Corrections and comments would be appreciated!

Q: LayoutInflater doesnt work Im building like an chat app, so I want to add elements (user picture and message) on the go to my current view. The problem is in the showMessage function, nothings happens but no error too.
Here's my code:
ChatActivity -> showMessage:
RelativeLayout rly = new RelativeLayout(ChatActivity.this);
rly.setLayoutParams(new LayoutParams(LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT,LayoutParams.WRAP_CONTENT));
LayoutInflater inflater = getLayoutInflater();
View viewToAppend = inflater.inflate(R.layout.messages,null);
rly.addView(viewToAppend);

messages XML:

<ImageView
    android:id="@+id/imageView1"
    android:layout_width="40dp"
    android:layout_height="40dp"
    android:layout_alignParentLeft="true"
    android:layout_alignParentTop="true"
    android:src="@drawable/fede" />

 <TextView
     android:id="@+id/textView1"
     android:layout_width="wrap_content"
     android:layout_height="wrap_content"
     android:layout_centerVertical="true"
     android:layout_marginLeft="10dp"
     android:layout_toRightOf="@+id/imageView1"
     android:text="messagetext" />

</RelativeLayout>

UPDATE
Adding setContentView(rly); works, but replace all the content with the "xml loaded", i want to append it, not replace all.

A: You may be try like codes. such as
 LayoutInflater inflater = (LayoutInflater) this
        .getSystemService(Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE);

May be work successfully. Best of luck!

A: if you want to add a layout to the inflater you can just use the inflate method with the layout id as the parameter.

    View v = ((LayoutInflater) context.getSystemService( Context.LAYOUT_INFLATER_SERVICE )).inflate(R.layout.info_window_adapter_layout, null);

Where context the the reference to the activity context

A: You create a new RelativeLayout and add the messages view to it, but you never attach the RelativeLayout to the content view. Assign your main layout an id (such as 'main_layout') in your layout xml, then add this:
RelativeLayout mainLayout = (RelativeLayout) findViewById(R.id.main_layout);
mainLayout.addView(rly);

This beautiful giant screen film is about one of the rarest animals on Earth – the fabled all-white Spirit Bear. These remarkable creatures live in the lush temperate rainforests of British Columbia on Canada's West Coast, where they hold almost mythic status among the region's indigenous people. Shot exclusively for the giant screen, GREAT BEAR RAINFOREST will offer a remarkable journey into one of the planet's most spectacular wildernesses – a land of wolves, grizzly bears, humpback whales, sea lions, sea otters and others – as it explores the secret world of the Spirit Bear. Filmmakers Ian McAllister and Jeff Turner and executive producer Kyle Washington and Byron Horner of Spirit Bear Entertainment are partnering with MacGillivray Freeman Films on this cinematic journey.


Gratitude is a wonderful thing.
Sure, maybe I'm choosing to post this in the spirit of Thanksgiving, but it's something that's constantly on my brain, even if I sometimes forget to show it. I'd like to take the opportunity to outwardly give some thanks. Whether we realize or not, the ability to give gratitude is a gift not only to others, but to oneself.
As many of you know, I was able to leave my profession in health care management where I spent almost five years of my time. I loved it. I developed many meaningful relationships with ER physicians, nursing staff, administration, and other support staff. I learned how to do a lot of new things that would set me up for success for many years to come.
But it wasn't my calling. And this isn't a humblebrag, so stay with me here.
Being a health care provider is a calling. Being a nurse or a police officer is a calling. Military, social work, and charity work is a calling. If you're mainly in it for the money, burnout will happen very quickly. Although I enjoyed my previous job very much, I burned out because it wasn't what I was meant to do, and for me, it stopped being inspiring. Now don't get me wrong, if I had to stay there I would have, but the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of both my father and my wife as a business owner came banging at my front door. I, always being the one who plays it safe, said no to the opportunity many times. Until my wife had the compassion to verbally slap some sense into me by putting things into perspective.
The gratitude that I'm trying to circle back to is when my wife and I discussed, over a period of months, the decision for me to pursue this business full-time. Not as a side job, but as my primary job. And for the first time in my life, in February of 2015, I was in a place where I could do it. Where WE could do it. Because there was no better time.
Being a business owner brings many feelings. Elation, the joy of being your own boss, and flexible work hours are a plus. But with that comes some moments of self-doubt and uneasiness. Thankfully, the heavy feelings are few and far between. Especially when you have super-cool clients that will allow you to Photoshop the Flying Spaghetti Monster into their corporate sessions as a joke.
And then, of course, there are the times when you have to admit that you have no idea what you're doing (which is my least favorite thing for my pride, but my most favorite thing for my success). During those moments, you can either refer potential clients to other photographers or decide to learn a new skill. If there's a niche that I don't choose to work in, such as pet photography, then I will happily refer to other talented local photographers, knowing that they will fully take care of the clients I send them. If there's something that's holding me back, such as lack of knowledge of how to properly light a client using off-camera flash during a wedding, then my only choice should be a no-brainer: learn it or drown.
My point is this: I'm grateful for all I learned in 2015, and all who have taught me. I've aquired a lot of new skills (and a lot of new gear) that have helped me obtain the photos I want, and my business has expanded because of it.
So to start this off... I'm thankful for Ryan Gonzales and his workshops which, possibly unbeknownst to him, have inspired me to learn more and do better when it comes to studio portraits.
I'm grateful that, this year, I was able to afford a 14-hour download of an AMAZING video that teaches just about all of the ins-and-outs of modern wedding photography. One of the things I took away from that was to bring off-camera lighting to ALL of my sessions, not just weddings. It's the thing that's made my family and senior sessions pop, and I don't know how I ever worked without it.
I'm incredibly grateful for my wife, who not only supports my work and actively promotes it, but is okay with me getting all of our lovely new toys! For Father's Day this year, she was kind enough to grace me with my first macro lens (which was a beginner macro, but was excellent for the cost, making it easier to upgrade to a more heavy-duty one soon thereafter). A macro lens is kind of like a microscope that can get SUPER close to the subject, allowing me to take photos of wedding rings, flowers, and other tiny objects with lots of detail. That lens comes with me to every single wedding and engagement photo session.
Two people that I've been continually thankful for, since I first met them, are my wedding photographer Misty and her husband Nelio. Their work continues to inspire me to do better, to light better, and to pose better. For them, I'm thankful for the inspiration to always pursue the perfect "drama shot," as we call it. It's the broad, sweeping image, usually of the subjects being lit in a very punchy way. When we talk about a bride and groom being "drama" in a photo, trust us, that's a very good thing.
And finally, this year, as always, my heart and gratitude go to every single client we've had the opportunity to serve. 2015 brought new clients as well as old friends, and with that came new opportunities to learn and try different things. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the client base that we've built one family at a time. We love creating personal connections because we want every client to understand that we value them as individuals, and that not every photo session is created equal. Our clients are absolutely unique, and we always hope to capture them as they want to see themselves.
From my family to yours, we absolutely and sincerely wish you a Happy Thanksgiving. Of all of the emotions we carry with us in every day life, I can say without doubt or reservation that gratitude is what will make our time on this planet much more bright and colorful. In lighting a candle for another person, one brightens one's own way.


For theatre professionals and anyone with a keen interest in puppetry this is part of a special series of talks at NTU with some of the industry's most prominent and well-regarded artists and creators.
Puppetry has always been a part of cultural wellbeing. Its rich use of the fine and dramatic arts has created fantastic possibilities for professionals working in disability arts and healthcare. The craft of puppetry is particularly effective in facilitating communication and increased participation in fields such as autism, dementia care and mental health.

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a government program in which every citizen receives a set amount of money on a monthly basis. The goals of a basic income program are to eliminate poverty.
How Would Universal Basic Income Work?
UBI would guarantee that every citizen above 18+ would receive at least $1,200 a month for life while those under 18 years of age would receive a minimum of $500 until they have reached the age of 18 to receive the full amount of $1,200. But how would we pay for this? There is a majority of big tech companies making profit off of our data but keeping it from the general public. If we get a tiny slice of every Google Search, Facebook ad, Yahoo Search and Display Ads, Microsoft Server Revenues, Amazon's Retail & Web Services, Apple Services, Robot Truck Mile, Alphabet Search & Web Browsing, etc. The majority of these companies are profiting off our data. A simple Google search or single click gives Google up to $50 per click, per keyword or phrase. When you use Google to search for anything, like local weather, local restaurants, best place in town, etc. You're given a list of search results that is generated by Google's algorithm. With all of this, we can easily afford a UBI for every American Citizen.
This will not leave the country broke, we are one of the richest countries in the world and by putting money into our hands, it will eventually move its way across the country as people spend it.
What Does This Mean For Welfare Programs?
Anyone who is currently on welfare program such as: SSDI and SSI would have a choice of staying on their welfare program or getting a Universal Basic Income. A majority of people would choose to take UBI over their SSDI or SSI even if they are making more than $1,200 a month, because UBI has no preconditions. With this being said, UBI will not replace any programs. It is simply a choice, like any other program.
Where Did The Idea Of A Universal Basic Income Come From?
You may have heard UBI from a former presidential candidate Andrew Yang. But this was not Yang's idea, it is not my idea, this is the people's idea. The American Citizens of this country. This was also Martin Luther King's idea. He called it "A Guaranteed Income" This is exactly what Martin was fighting for leading up to his final week of assassination. His dream was that the government to eradicate poverty by providing every american a guaranteed, middle-class income. We can make this dream a reality by carrying out what Martin Luther King was fighting for. With your help, we can provide a Universal Basic Income for all Americans.
Giving every citizen 18+ of $1,200 a month while those under the age of 18 a minimum of $500 a month.
Encourage big tech companies in getting involved with paying for a Universal Basic Income.
Means test UBI across Utah to those in need and struggling, and see how it affects their day by day lives.
Make sure that our data is included. No more earning profit off our data unless we get something out of it.
Adults 18+ $1,200 and 17- $500
I propose that every adult gets $1,200 while those under 18 gets $500. This will improve and trickle up economy. Our Families, our Communities, our people up. We can make UBI a reality! If we keep on fighting for every citizen of this country, we can actually make this happen. Ask yourself "What would I do with $1,200 a month?" Those who have children will get more if adding together. This will not only end poverty, but will give people hope, achieving their dream, accomplishing their goals, putting food on the table during this time of need, homeless people will no longer have to try to find money to sleep somewhere. They would have a home they can be proud of calling home. This is the future and ultimately the way forward.
Encouraging Big Tech Companies
While this may seem like a long shot. But companies or ultimately anyone who is a millionaire gets tax-breaks, literally paying $0 in taxes. You know what Jeff Bezos Co-Founder & CEO of Amazon had mentioned in a interview? He said that Amazon had paid nothing, literally nothing in taxes because it was the law. Can you believe that one of the biggest, richest company in the world paid less in taxes than you? Someone who is trying to work hard on a minimum wage supporting your children and paying taxes compared to a trillion dollar company paying nothing in taxes? This needs to change, and I will promise you this: We will make sure they pay their fair share of taxes, more than any of us and if not well they will give us profit they are making off of our data.
Means Testing Universal Basic Income
I will personally be giving families in need and struggling by means test UBI of $1,200 per adult and $500 per children who is struggling. This does not mean that this means test of a Universal Basic Income will be provided to all citizens, this means that who is struggling the most will be contacted by the campaign to means test UBI for their family for a total of 6 months. After 6 months, we will then interview them and see how over the past 6 months has a Basic Income affected their lives and what has changed in their day by day lives with this means test UBI.
Our Data Included
We have the right to the data we share. What do I mean by Giant Tech Companies making profit off of our data? Mat Travizano once said "Well ultimately, these companies used to influence your behavior. Ad targeting practices. One innocuous Google search becomes an onslaught of ads stalking you around the internet, to treacherous fake news and fake accounts impacting elections. All aspects of your user experience are reduced to mechanical algorithms focused on "engagement," with little-to-no regard for the larger consequences and long-term impact. You are left to suffer the ramifications, while they are allowed to profit." Anything and everything you do on the internet is being shared and sold to companies. But have you got your data check in the mailbox or in your bank account? The answer is "No". Billions are surfing the web every single day without knowing that they are actually sharing their data. This needs to stop! If they can profit off of us, why can we not get a Basic Income from this? Let's stand together and fight for what is ours.

We're a hawk on the issues.
Trump Taps Oklahoma Attorney General to Lead EPA
By: Eric Carriere
President-elect Donald Trump announced this week that he plans to nominate Scott Pruitt as the head of the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
The Hill reports:
If confirmed by the Senate to oversee the 15,000-employee agency, Pruitt would take the lead on dismantling the EPA regulations that Trump targeted throughout his campaign as job killers that restrict economic growth.
Reuters first reported the news Tuesday.
Pruitt has been a legal opponent of President Obama over nearly every major regulation and executive action, not only on environmental issues but also ObamaCare, immigration and bathroom use by transgender people.
Pruitt has led litigation against Obama's landmark climate rule for power plants, as well as water regulations and standards for ground-level ozone pollution, haze, methane and more.
As EPA head, Pruitt would help carry out Trump's campaign promises to repeal Obama's entire executive climate change agenda, including the Clean Power Plan, which the president-elect said he will target in his first 100 days in office.
Democrats and enviromentalists are already gearing up to fight his nomination.
"We're certainly going to draw a line in the sand," said Sen. Brian Schatz (D-Hawaii), a member of the Environment and Public Works (EPW) Committee.
"This is the worst-case scenario when it comes to clean air and clean water, to nominate a climate denier to the agency charged with protecting our natural resources."
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), an EPW member, said he will "vigorously" oppose Pruitt, and Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.) said "there will be a fight" over his nomination.
"I think he has a record and it will scrutinized, and there will be opposition there as a result."
Top Trump aide Kellyanne Conway told reporters Wednesday that the transition team is used to criticism.
"We're very accustomed to the naysayers and the critics," she said, according to pool reports. "Attorney General Pruitt has great qualifications and a good record as AG of Oklahoma, and there were a number of qualified candidates for that particular position that the president-elect interviewed. We look forward to the confirmation hearings."
Trump wants to repeal the Clean Water Rule, roll back rules on fossil fuel production, review all existing regulations for potential repeal, put a moratorium on nearly all new regulations and require that two rules be repealed for every new rule put in place.
The Clean Power Plan is the centerpiece of Obama's climate push, ordering a 32 percent cut in the energy sector's carbon dioxide emissions by 2030.
Trump sees the plan as part of a "war on coal" by Obama.
"We're going to get those miners back to work," Trump said at a campaign rally.
Pruitt has taken a lead role among Republican attorneys general challenging the plan and has argued it would shut down numerous coal-fired power plants in Oklahoma and raise electricity prices.
"This is an effort that I think is extraordinary in cost, extraordinary in scope, and I think extraordinary as it relates to the intrusion into the sovereignty of the states," Pruitt said in September about the regulation.
He charged that the rule "coerces" states to reorganize their electricity systems and "commandeers" state resources to do that, in violation of the Constitution.
"It's an invasion … of the state regulatory domain, and it's something that is unique and breathtaking as it relates to the kind of rulemaking the EPA has engaged in historically," he said.
Pruitt and his fellow GOP attorneys general succeeded in convincing the Supreme Court to put an unprecedented pause on the rule earlier this year.
Pruitt has also been a key figure in fighting the Clean Water Rule, also known as Waters of the United States, which asserts federal jurisdiction over small waterways like wetlands and streams.
"This regulation usurps the state's authority over its land and water use, and triggers numerous and costly obligations under the [Clean Water] Act for the state and its citizens," he wrote last year in a court filing.
States and companies challenging the water rule also succeeded in convincing a federal court to block its implementation while it is litigated.
The president-elect has also said he's strongly committed to protecting clean air and water and stopping drinking water contamination crises like in Flint, Mich., situations Trump calls "real environmental challenges."
Pruitt's opinion on climate change aligns with that of Trump, who repeatedly has dismissed global warming as a hoax, in conflict with the overwhelming scientific consensus that human activity through greenhouse gas emissions is the primary cause of changes in the climate.
He co-authored a piece in the Tulsa World in May that said the debate over climate "is far from settled" and that "scientists continue to disagree about the degree and extent of global warming and its connection to the actions of mankind."
"Reasonable minds can disagree about the science behind global warming, and disagree they do," he said in a March statement with another conservative attorney general.
Trump's choice of a climate change skeptic for the EPA comes despite reports that his daughter Ivanka wants to take on fighting climate change as one of her priorities as first daughter.
Trump and his daughter also met earlier this week with former vice president and climate advocate Al Gore, a meeting Gore described as "very productive" and "extremely interesting."
Pruitt has been Oklahoma's attorney general since 2011. He's a close ally of Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.), the outgoing chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee and the chamber's most outspoken climate change skeptic.
Pruitt previously served eight years in Oklahoma's Senate, where he was elected to GOP leadership. He's been a private lawyer, an owner of a minor league baseball team and ran for the U.S. House of Representatives unsuccessfully in 2002.
He has a solidly pro-fossil fuel record.
Pruitt was implicated in a December 2014 New York Times investigation, which found that he sent a letter to the EPA complaining about the agency's measurements of pollution that was secretly written by an oil and natural gas company, part of a "secretive alliance" between Republican attorneys general and energy companies.
Pruitt has received more than $300,000 in campaign contributions from fossil fuel interests, according to the National Institute on State Money in Politics.

I've never really been a jeans-and-tshirt girl. Well, unless you count between the ages of 14 and 17 when you had to wrestle me away from my black jeans and My Chemical Romance tshirts. I've always been into dresses and skirts, to the point where I once took a jeans-for-a-week challenge on my blog to see if I could do it, and even then I cheated and only managed it for five days. I think some of it comes down to personal preference of style, and some of it comes down to shape. As a classic pear shape, I feel much more comfortable in skirts and dresses than I do in jeans.
But over the last few years I've found myself wearing jeans more and more. This might not necessarily have been that clear on my blog (these kinds of outfits aren't exactly inspiring!) but I've definitely noticed myself reaching for jeans much more on a lazy morning before work.
The problem that I've had - and the funny thing is, it's actually the exact same problem I said I had in that jeans challenge post from over four years ago - is that I don't have a lot of tops. I have a lot of blouses, but they're not always the right style or length for with jeans. As a result, I end up wearing tshirts which are usually music or TV show related (I got two Parks and Recreation tshirts for my birthday) and leave me feeling a bit slobby.
But a few weeks ago when Clarity Travel Management got in touch about their recent rebrand (they used to be Co-operative Travel Management), I saw a great opportunity to push out of my comfort (read: dress buying) zone. They offered to send me £50 of High Street vouchers to help with my own rebrand. I knew straight away I wanted a pretty top and a big statement necklace to wear with my jeans, and straight away spotted this absolute beauty in Oasis. I think it's absolutely gorgeous and it's exactly the kind of pretty, wear-anywhere top that I wanted. The necklace I got from River Island, and after I bought it I decided to push myself further with jeans-wearing and picked up four plain, stretchy tshirts in Primark to wear it with. Even though the tshirts are really plain, the addition of this huge, chunky statement necklace really completely the outfit (even if it does weigh my neck down a bit!).
As I'm sure is no surprise after my last post, I've been a bit burned out this week. On Sunday I went to Chorlton Runners for their Sunday run, and two miles into a 5 mile loop I tripped and fell completely flat on my face. I don't think I've ever moved so fast jumping up and pretending I was alright! I cut up my hands quite badly, scraped up my elbow and straight away could feel bruises coming up on my legs. I didn't know anybody and I was utterly mortified! The problem was, two miles in, it would take me almost as long to walk back as it would to keep running. The rest of the group gently suggested that running would help the blood flow and distract me a bit from the pain so I took a deep breath and ran the three more miles. I was feeling pretty shaken and upset and just felt overwhelmingly sad. Not at myself and not because I was in a lot of pain, cause I really wasn't, it was just upsetting, really! One of the lovely ladies gave me a lift back home even though it was completely out of her way when she saw me heading for the bus covered in dust and blood, and as I was heading to the flat I called Phil who ran me a hot bath and looked after me. The incident just left me pretty shaken though, and it hit me hard on Monday. I didn't feel like spending the day explaining what had happened so I decided to work from home, and even though I did my makeup and did my hair, I spent the day in sweatpants which isn't like me at all. I didn't want to go to choir, which was another worrying sign. I convinced myself I was under the weather and I was "coming down with something" (in inverted commas because I swear I say it at least once a fortnight) and made excuse after excuse for why I left so lousy. When Phil came home I burst into tears on him. I felt demotivated (which is quite a big thing for me as I consider myself a pretty motivated person!), plagued with self-doubt and just lazy and useless. I forced myself to cook us some dinner instead of reheating leftovers from the freezer, and doing something creative and productive definitely helped. We had an early night and by Tuesday morning I was out running tempo runs and feeling completely fine. There's just been so much going on lately I was well overdue for a burn out.
This week hasn't exactly been quiet either. On Tuesday I went to visit my friend Judy from choir who is in hospital. She's become one of my closest friends at choir - despite our 43 year ago gap! - but she's been very poorly lately and it really isn't looking good for her. Phil and I went to see her last week but on Tuesday I went on my own to honestly say goodbye really. It was horrible and sad and upsetting, but she knew I was there and I know she appreciated that and I suppose that's all you can do. Yesterday mine and Phil's friend Rosie came for dinner and we had a really "grown up" lovely evening. We shared a bottle of wine, I made us a spinach and feta pie and a greek salad and she even brought me flowers. It was just lovely.
One thing that has gone me through this week has been enjoying my lunch breaks. I recently joined the beautiful central library, and got a bit overexcited and reserved four books in one go, so I've been going down to the library on my lunch breaks and reading for a while. It's been amazing. I think the library is the place I've spent most of my time this week after work and my flat!
Well, it's nearly bank holiday! I cannot wait for this weekend. I am so ready for a break. Phil and I are going to the Lake District for four days in a few weeks and it cannot come fast enough.

Glastonbury 'quite a long way' off from confirming 2021 return
Live4ever 16 December, 2020
The Pyramid Stage during Glastonbury 2019 (Richard Bowes for Live4ever)
The cancellation of Glastonbury 2020 was arguably the biggest casualty of the summer festival season.
Emily Eavis has admitted being able to officially rubber-stamp Glastonbury's return next year is still 'quite a long way' off.
Whilst comments from Eavis during the weekend the event should have taken place this year – when she said they are 'rolling two festivals together for 2021' and hoping to re-book planned headliners such as Paul McCartney – showed preparations have been long in place, co-organiser Michael Eavis later admitted hosting the festival at Worthy Farm might not be possible until 2022, and speaking to the BBC Emily reiterated that nothing is certain.
"I can't tell you how much we'd love to welcome everyone back to the farm," she said. "It's been way too quiet here this year and we want to get people back here as soon as we possibly can."
"Obviously the vaccine news in recent weeks has increased our chances, but I think we're still quite a long way from being able to say we're confident 2021 will go ahead."

Infact, I think there might even be some clipping in these songs.
The intro of UIG has a lot of clipping, it's not even funny.
Atticus Bullets lance the bravest lungs
Atticus, Jun 1, 2014
To be honest, I think the biggest problem with these songs...as much as I enjoy them, is the mixing.
With Guilty All The Same, the raw/garage sounding mixing actually worked because it gave the song a more "punk" feel to it. However, both Until It's Gone and Wastelands demanded a clear and open sounding mix (because of the numerous layers in the track) and they unfortunately didn't get that. Until It's Gone is a muddy mess, and Wastelands has a super awesome bit in the bridge that is barely audible. Infact, I think there might even be some clipping in these songs.
I pray the band decides to release multitracks for this album...would be great for this album to get the proper mix it deserves. Kind of disappointed in Andy Wallace so far.
Strange because I don't find Until It's Gone to be "muddy" at all. I can easily identify several layers on in the song. Even with the Wastelands bridge, while maybe a little less clear, I can still differentiate most things that are happening. Perhaps it's not so much the mixing but rather the tape recording? Although I do agree that Guilty All The Same has the best mix by far. So far everything seems better at least than the LOUD GUITARZ that drown out everything in In My Remains and I'll Be Gone.

Clearly you think that. Otherwise you wouldn't be a fan, and you wouldn't be posting on this forum if you didn't like the aspects of their music.
There are many things I don't enjoy about Linkin Park, choruses aren't one of them.
I'd say they're actually one of their biggest strenghts.

There are so many faults in the UNTIL IT'S GONE studio version, it's hilarious. Bad, yet still hilarious.
Live version is the better song.

It's the mix/master.
I brought this up ages ago, when LP were saying they were doing that this time around and people were getting excited about it. Recording to tape doesn't automatically mean you will have a great sounding record, just like recording digitally doesn't automatically mean you'll have a bad sounding record. For both mediums you need recording, mixing, & mastering engineers who know what the fuck they are doing, a band that knows what sound they want, and a label that doesn't mandate a LOUD record.
You see so many bands these days saying "we're recording our next album to tape!!". It doesn't mean anything if you don't know how to use it.
Brandon I was Ree's 100th follower on Twitter.
Brandon, Jun 1, 2014
Yeah, the mixing on Wastelands makes the bridge sound like a...well, Wasteland.
The guitar up-sliding sound is clearly supposed to be the big "thing," but it's so quiet that the entire thing just sounds like some big muddy wall of noise. So it just ends up feeling like an entire section of the song that has nothing going on.

This is a very simple structured song. I quite like it. But I don't really quite understand what the lyrics are about.
Sonic, Jun 1, 2014
If the mixing is so shitty, according to some here, then why do you think the band let's it go on? Maybe they should have mixed it themselves, or maybe they wanted it this way?

In my opinion, Mike and all the instruments are great, but chester sucks... he sounds so weak, there is no power in the chours, this is sad because we`ve got the same problem is in GATS and UIG... He should try to double his voice again like he did in Meteora (or did he trippled it)?
Well im hoping there will be more energy in his voice on the other songs!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liPJhCKq70Y check out the chourse here... where is this energy gone?

Chester doesn't suck. You're just so used to his layered overproduced studio voice.
You want real Chester or fake Chester?

TheRadiance, Jun 1, 2014
Yet he's been right about every other release he tweets about.
All i want is power in a chours... It worked fine in the first 3 LP`S.... i miss it, for me he sounds very weak... Its not overproduced if you sing the chours with two diffrent voices Overproduced is the Korn Untouchables LP but not LP with a double Voice in a Chours or do you thinks this sounds overproduced? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liPJhCKq70Y
Jack_Farrell KTTK is Chester suicide-diving off a cliff naked
Jack_Farrell, Jun 1, 2014
I agree, the mixing so far has been disgustinly bad. And it's on purpose, that's the worse part, it's not because Andy Wallace fucked shit up, because he mixed Meteora and Hybrid Theory and those albums are perfect, it's because the band told him to give it a "punk rock underground 80's feel", I'm sure of that.
Jack_Farrell said: ↑

I wouldn't be so sure. I'd say the underground/punk/lo-fi feel comes mostly from how the music is recorded, which is what the band tried to capture with recording straight to tape. Mixing and mastering should be their own process.

Lmao this guy again I wonder what the reaction was when he got it wrong with UIG
TheRadiance said: ↑
If he's right about Wastelands tonight then good for him. I'm just saying whomever he got his info from for UIG was way...WAY off base.
Of course, people will write that off as one mistake due to his past record. So you know what? So will I. I'll forget the past mistake, and assume Wastelands is going on iTunes tonight. Hopefully he's right.
If he's not, I think we desperately need to reconsider whether or not fans should keep using him as a source.


Just like your car, your website demands regular maintenance to function properly. Overlooking WordPress maintenance is like skipping oil changes on a car. Your car wouldn't last very long, now would it? Your website isn't much different. Your website should always accessible to customers as a primary point of contact for your business.
If you fail to perform regular maintenance, you may be losing out on potential sales & conversions. When visitors experience problems on a website, they seldom return or do business with the site owner. Many website owners fail to keep an eye on their websites. In the long run, you will miss out on business opportunities.
Many people don't appreciate the value of WordPress maintenance.
Consider performance: load time, downtime, and uptime. These factors all depend on the WordPress software and third party plugins being up-to-date and optimized.
Everything that makes a great website such as user growth, relevant & recent content, analytics, and design updates depends on the site owner's diligence. You need someone to implement updates and do so correctly.
My processes are designed for minimizing errors and affording the client peace of mind. Before any changes are made, the site and its content are safely backed up. After any updates, we check for any bugs or errors. We maintain records of updated plugin. In case of any problems, I know exactly what has been changed. My monthly maintenance reports also include performance and security scans. If I find something, a support ticket is created immediately, and we'll fix it before it can cause you or your business any problems.
Performing your own maintenance can be trouble. If you merely update your website via your WordPress admin, you won't have a record of changes to your site. If an issue manifests afterward, you'll be faced with uncertainty and time consuming investigation as you attempt to deduce the problem and from what point you should restore your site. You'll risk potential significant losses in content changes, sales orders and contact entries.
A lack of maintenance and inexperience will impair your website's appearance and functionality. At this point, you'll have a choice. First, you can attempt a DIY fix and risk further damage. Alternately, you can hire someone experienced to fix at, possibly at a significant cost. As with a car, the fix is more expensive than the preventative maintenance. $30 of oil protects a multi-thousand dollar engine. Regular site maintenance protects your website and your business.
Isn't it best to focus on your strengths and hire someone to help with your weaknesses? Would you go to court without a lawyer? If not, why not retain an experienced WordPress Expert? Using an experienced WordPress Expert to maintain your site properly protects against potential lost site traffic and sales.

Please feel free to send any comments, suggestions,or even complaints. Unfortunately, since email harvesters are so common we can't just put an email like so you'll have to fill out this silly form. Of course, all the data is optional but if you want/expect a response we'll need an email address.


PCSX ReARMed is heavily optimized PlayStation Emulator. It's a PCSX fork based on the PCSX-Reloaded project, which itself contains code from PCSX, PCSX-df and PCSX-Revolution.
The emulator features MIPS->ARM recompiler by Ari64 and ARM NEON GPU by Exophase, that in many cases produces pixel perfect graphics at very high performance. There is also NEON-optimized GTE code, optimized P.E.Op.S. (Pete's) SPU; PCSX4ALL and traditional P.E.Op.S. GPUs are also available.
BIOS files are optional, but are needed for compatibility with some games. These uncompressed files should be copied to /pandora/appdata/pcsx_rearmed/bios/ , and selected after launching the emulator itself (Options -> BIOS/Plugins).
Double resolution rendering and gamma/brightness control features need SuperZaxxon 1.52 or later firmware to be installed. DSP feature needs SZ1.61 or later.
* Now using pandora's DSP to emulate the SPU (needs SZ1.61 or later). Visit the forums for more info.
* SPU timing has been improved, which means audio will no longer slow down when emu is not fast enough and stutter instead, as the former behavior causes accuracy issues. Old mode can be restored in SPU plugin config options, but is not recommended.
Works really well. I wish the Pandora had 4 shoulder buttons!


Valentine's Day is coming up, and this will be the first time my boys will celebrate it at school. I'm really excited for them, because though it's been a very long time since I've been a little kid, I vividly remember loving all the mini cards, origami hearts and trinkets that were exchanged.
Our preschool has a couple of guidelines. First - candy and sweets are out. I can totally get behind that because, I mean really, who wants a bunch of toddlers amped on sugar?? Not me. Second, they encourage keeping it homemade. Again, I'm down with that because I love getting a little crafty. But, if you are anything like 99.9% of the mamas out there, you have very little free time, plus if you have multiple kids, that means cards for multiple classrooms, teachers, assistants, etc., etc. Yeah, it's a lot.
Whether you have to make a lot, or just a few, here is a super easy, super quick way to pump out a bunch of homemade Valentine's Day cards for your little ones.
1) Print our mini cards using your desktop printer or local copy shop.
2) Trim the mini cards using scissors or paper trimmer.
3) Cut cardstock into 3" squares. I used Kraft paper, but use anything that fits your vibe.
5) Have your kiddo sign their name at the bottom. Boom, you are done.
We hope you and your littles enjoy spreading love and joy this Valentine's Day. We would love to see your creations - Tag your images with #nicomade and share, share, share.

DARWIN ABORIGINAL ART FAIR CELEBRATES 10 YEARS OF ABORIGINAL & TORRES STRAIT ISLANDER TALENT
After raising more than $8.5 million for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities over the past nine years and showcasing the work of thousands of remote artists, the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair (DAAF) will celebrate its 10th birthday this year by doubling in size to encompass fashion, film and a panel discussion.
The annual event, running from Friday 5 August to Sunday 7 August, was created as a platform to promote the incredible art work of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Centres and communicate the important economic role they play in generating revenue into remote communities.
In 2015, the Darwin Aboriginal Art Fair raised $1.75 million with 100 per cent of the revenue returning to remote communities, and over 10 years, the event has grown steadily to showcase the art works of more than 2000 artists, with thousands of pieces of art available to buy.
This year DAAF will marry Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander contemporary fine art with textile design and take it to the catwalk, launching the Fair's first fashion runway show. The "DAAF Runway Project" will involve up to 15 Art Centres and designers. DAAF has engaged Northern Territory fashion guru Mehali Tsangaris, Director of NT Fashion Week, to choreograph the event.
DAAF will also showcase the evolving new film scene in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities with a special Indigenous film festival held in conjunction with Darwin's iconic Deckchair Cinema. Kicking off with a special fundraising evening, the film festival will explore short films and emerging pieces of multi-media produced by Art Centres across the Territory and co-produced with the Darwin Film Society.

DAAF dates

The DAAF finishes the day before my English family and I arrive in Darwin for a week's holiday. Will there be anywhere where the Aboriginal art and fabrics will remain on display and for sale? My Sister in law is a mad patchworker and is keen to obtain some authentic Aboriginal fabrics.

Towards the beginning of this blog, I wrote a post named "Dad-one weird dude". It is truly amazing to see the difference in my perception with a little truth injection. I am the type of person, as I'm sure I've written, that must find these truths on my own. I listen to very little and believe less; unless I come to believe it on my own.
I have believed for many years that the barrier between my father and I was the result of the strange punishments he dealt to me when I was younger. I know that now to be completely false. My Dad is a great man that tried hard for many years to raise me in some terrible situations. He fed me in small portions at times to make sure I had dinner to eat the next day, but that's not all.
My Mom had some serious issues and was in general a very sneaky person in my early childhood. My Dad couldn't have known about all the sneaky things she was doing because she made sure I never spoke of them. Some of the things were so bad that I am positive I was directed not to tell. How could I have grown up with confidence in my Dad if I couldn't speak to him about my terrors?
I know for certain those barriers were placed there for my Mom to hide who she was. The unfortunate result is that my Dad and I have rarely had any conversations based in truth. If I have learned one thing throughout this whole process, it is the fact that I am now sure my Dad loved me. Sad that we never had a chance back then because he gave up so very much to give me his last name. Thank you Dad- for everything.
In that first post, I wrote that Dad taught me the most about life. I still believe that, but I would like to go even further. I owe finding the strength to quit this methadone nonsense to him because he taught me to notice the beauty of this world we live in. Not many see it the way he does and I am so thankful he taught me. It's just sad there were barriers there to prevent me from seeing earlier.

JCRT Plaid Shirts Inspired by 80s and 90s Alt Records
jeremy | May 28, 2017 | Design, fashion, Music | No Comments
When I first encountered this new line of JCRT plaid shirts, I was scrolling through a Facebook shoegaze group. My takeaway was that this was some sort of misguided musical appropriation by J.Crew (not unlike that time The Gap made a Joy Division shirt). The gazers griped about the price and the horror of it all, but the shirts stuck with me. So I Googled J.Crew x My Bloody Valentine and J.Crew x Cocteau Twins to find out the story, but I got nowhere. That's because these JCRT plaid shirts aren't by the preppy clothier, but rather by Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra–a pair of lumberjack bears. I was intrigued.
Jeffrey Costello and Robert Tagliapietra wearing their JCRT plaids
The designers met at a nightclub in 1994, and they were both wearing plaid. Both had been taught tailoring by their grandmothers. And they both loved music. According to their website, the duo "joined forces to dress the high demand of the downtown New York film and music scene." Fast forward a couple decades, and they launched a collection of shirts in homage to some of the greatest albums of all time.
JCRT plaid homage to My Bloody Valentine's Loveless
This is the first shirt I saw in the collection. It was initially quite controversial: $125 for a plaid shirt? With fit names like "Brooklyn" and "Portland," were these for hipsters only? What, no Slowdive shirt?
JCRT plaid homage to The Cure's Seventeen Seconds
Well, (so far) there's no Slowdive shirt (though a video clip shows them printing and cutting other classics from Bowie to Bronski Beat, so, ya never know). As for price, these are hand-cut-and-sewn shirts, and this is a blog read by collectors who think nothing of dropping upwards of a Benjamin on a piece of plastic. As for hipsterdom, while apparently we can thank Costello and Tagliapietra for the lumbersexual [it's even in the OED!] craze, they make their JCRT line in sizes up to 4x…and feature people over age 40 wearing them.
JCRT plaid homage to Sinead O'Connor's The Lion and the Cobra
Also, it has to be noted that their copywriter has an awesome job. For the Sinead O'Connor-inspired shirt:
This plaid has a shaved head, it wears combat boots, it's Catholic, it's not Catholic, it's highly controversial and makes you want to listen loudly.
For the Depeche Mode-inspired shirt:
This plaid doesn't want to say a word about itself. it just wants you to 'Enjoy The Silence.' But if it could speak, it would rather tell you it's 'all you ever wanted' and 'all you ever needed'.
I'll let the inconsistency of the punctuation above slide (but hey guys, I'll proofread your site for pay in plaid! Email me!) because they're also selling the albums–including Cocteau Twins on CASSETTE.
JCRT plaid homage to the Cocteau Twins' Blue Bell Knoll with CASSETTE TAPE
Anyway, while this blog has been on a hiatus, I've taken another office job. Are these JCRT plaids that sweet spot between dressing "too professionally" and looking like a "tech bro"? Perhaps. The JCRT website currently has a deal where you can buy four and get one free, so if you're looking to redo your wardrobe, that's $100 a shirt. The collection includes plaids in homage to My Bloody Valentine, The Cure, The Cocteau Twins, Depeche Mode, Sinead O'Connor, The Magnetic Fields and ELO. JC and RT, nice job! And if you're reading, what about Jesus and Mary Chain's Psycho Candy or Darklands next???

Hate for Hillary
Carmen Rios
In "The Hunting of Hillary," Pulitzer Prize-winning political biographer Michael D'Antonio recounts how her political opponents used sexist attacks to paint Clinton as a "ball-busting feminist" and frigid wife; a power-hungry "Lady Macbeth" and even a manipulative murderer. Along the way, he writes, they eroded political institutions, not only to damage Clinton's political prospects, but to consolidate their own power.

Maria Ines Taracena
Nina Lakhani's "Who Killed Berta Cáceres?" digs into the thick layers of the corrupt, colonial, imperialist, racist and misogynistic systems that contributed to the death of this beloved Honduran Lenca leader, cofounder of the Council of Popular and Indigenous Organizations of Honduras and the 2015 winner of the prestigious Goldman Environmental Prize.
The Ms. Q&A: Valerie Hudson on Placing Women's Rights at the Core of Foreign Policy
Lyric Thompson
"Human history has been driven by the male drive for physical security."
Ms. had the chance to speak with Valerie Hudson, director of the Program on Women, Peace and Security at Texas A&M University. In the new book The First Political Order, which she coauthored, Hudson makes a compelling argument for placing women's rights and representation at the core of foreign policy and national security—because what happens to half the population is obviously going to affect the health, the wealth and the security of a nation.
The #MeToo Helpline
Toni Van Pelt
Knowing that an estimated four-fifths of poor Americans are unable to access the legal services they need because they can't afford the cost, NOW and Legal Momentum have teamed up again to create the SYMS|Legal Momentum Helpline—which provides free information, assistance and referrals to women and girls facing discrimination and harassment at work, in school and at home.

We're still reeling from the tragedy—the increasing number of cases of COVID-19, the increasing number of deaths, the increasing anxiety and feelings of helplessness. By the time you read this, the numbers of sick and dying will only be greater and the losses more tragic. These are difficult times for us all. And yet, we continue.
States of Feminist Resistance: Women Legislators Make A Difference
Jennifer M. Piscopo
Contributions of Democratic women state legislators show that women are more motivated by communal goals than political power; that women do politics backward and in high heels; and women spur each other on.
Inside the Spring 2020 Issue
We were at work on our latest issue of Ms. magazine when the world changed suddenly. As we go to print, we're still reeling from the tragedy—the increasing numbers of people sickened by the disease, the increasing numbers of deaths, the increasing anxiety and feelings of helplessness. And yet, we continue.
January 2021 Reads for the Rest of Us


Activist (Digital Privacy) "The Encrypted Life"
... according to Hypponen, some surveillance is reasonable. For a school shooter, drug lord, or member of terrorist cell, for example, surveillance should be allowed and the authorities should have the technical means to do so. But first, there must be suspicion of the person in question and proper legal papers need to be filed. That is not what is going on today. Instead, everyone is being surveilled, including many who are known to be innocent. While you may not worry about the current government misusing that information, the government could change at any time. Show me your search history, he said, and I can find something illegal or embarrassing easily.
... because only people who are engaged in bad acts have a reason to want to hide and to care about their privacy. This worldview is implicitly grounded in the proposition that there are two kinds of people in the world, good people and bad people. Bad people are those who plot terrorist attacks or who engage in violent criminality and therefore have reasons to want to hide what they're doing, have reasons to care about their privacy. But by contrast, good people are people who go to work, come home, raise their children, watch television. They use the Internet not to plot bombing attacks but to read the news or exchange recipes or to plan their kids' Little League games, and those people are doing nothing wrong and therefore have nothing to hide and no reason to fear the government monitoring them.
Christopher Soghoian is a Washington, DC based privacy researcher and activist. He first gained notoriety in 2006 as the creator of a website that generated fake airline boarding passes.
...Through private companies, he says, governments are buying technology with the capacity to break into computers, steal documents and monitor activity — without detection.
Sending an email message is like sending a postcard, says scientist Andy Yen in this thought-provoking talk: Anyone can read it. Yet encryption, the technology that protects the privacy of email communication, does exist. It's just that until now it has been difficult to install and a hassle to use. Showing a demo of an email program he designed with colleagues at CERN, Yen argues that encryption can be made simple to the point of becoming the default option, providing true email privacy to all.

"We will play with our style and personality"
The Chilean manager says that his team "will be the same team that we see in the Premier League"
Manuel Pellegrini revealed what he believes is the key to tomorrow's Champions League match between Manchester City and FC Barcelona. "The most important thing is being able to be the same team that play every week in the Premier, with the same style and personality," said the manager this Monday. "You will see the same team, perhaps with different players, but the style will be the same," he added.
When asked about his players, the Chilean revealed that Ferandinho would be included in the team for tomorrow's showdown: "He has a chance to play, he trained without any trouble with the team." The Brazilian, who up until today was recovering from injury, hasn't played since January 29. Fernandinho and Zabaleta are one card away from suspension, while Milner will complete his one-match ban tomorrow.
On the other hand, Pellegrini confirmed that Sergio Agüero would miss the match, noting that "he's not ready," but that he would likely play against Stoke City this weekend.

WTF!?
Gwen Stefani Is the Clear Winner In Gavin Rossdale Divorce Settlement
Ali Szubiak
Ali Szubiak Published: April 14, 2016
Angela Weiss, Getty Images
You'd think every celebrity couple who decides to enter into marriage would go the prenup route, if only to ensure protection of their assets should anything go sour enough to warrant divorce. Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale, however, clearly believed their love to be truly enduring, because the two had zero legal protection in place before their split -- a decision that's actually working in Gwen's favor.
According to California law, the absence of a prenup entitles both parties to an even 50% split of everything the two earned over the course of their marriage. This means Gavin should ultimately benefit from their divorce, as Gwen is worth significantly more. But TMZ reports the musician didn't ask for a significant portion of Gwen's concert and record earnings, so she ultimately comes out on top.
The two also split custody of their three kids evenly, though odds are likely Gavin will have them more often than Gwen due to her touring schedule. He also reportedly did not ask Gwen to pay child support, despite having grounds to do so based on the fact that she not only has more money, but has the potential to earn more than her ex-husband.
Gwen filed for divorce from Gavin back in August 2015, citing the typical "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their split. But things took a turn for the acrimonious shortly after, when rumors began swirling online that Gwen ended things after discovering Rossdale was having an affair with one of the couple's nannies.

Corona in America: Over 11 lakh new COVID-19 cases, highest number in a year
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, on Sunday, the total covid-19 cases in the US reached 60 million.
By Yogita
PC: Social Media
New Delhi: The Omicron variant may be said to be less lethal, but the number of new corona patients in the US has reached a new record level. On Monday, more than 11 lakh patients have been found in the country. At the same time, the number of people admitted to hospitals has also become the highest ever.
Corona outbreak in America:
Earlier on January 3, more than 10 lakh 3 thousand new patients were found in America. The increasing number of patients shows that the fast-spreading Omicron is wreaking havoc in the US. Omicron, considered a worrying variant, has brought the number of hospitalizations in the US to an all-time high. This number has reached a record level in the last three weeks as against 1,32,051 in January last year.
According to data from Johns Hopkins University, on Sunday, the total covid-19 cases in the US reached 60 million. There have also been 8,37,594 deaths in the country since January 2020.
Staff shortage in hospitals:
Due to the highly infectious Omicron variant, the recruitment of covid patients is increasing rapidly, so many hospitals in the US have stopped surgery for other patients. According to statistics, more than 2130 patients are getting infected every day in America per 10 lakh people. Along with this, he is moving ahead on the path of Britain regarding the pandemic.
On the other hand, there is a worrying increase in covid-19 cases in France. The conditions there are like Britain. According to an average of seven days, France has about 4,000 daily cases per 1 million people.
Corona in India:
According to the data of the Union Health Ministry, the total number of infected in the country has increased to 3,58,75,790, out of which 3.45 crore have been cured. There has been a slight decrease in new cases of infection compared to Monday. Yesterday there were 1.79 lakh cases of infection.
