Rivers & Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working With Time
Roger Ebert March 14, 2003
"The very thing that brought the thing to be is the thing that will cause its death," Goldsworthy explains, as his elegant, spiraled constructions once again become random piles of stones on the beach. As with Andy's stones, so with our lives.
"Rivers and Tides: Andy Goldsworthy Working with Time" is a documentary that opened in San Francisco in mid-2002 and just kept running, moving from one theater to another, finding its audience not so much through word of mouth as through hand on elbow, as friends steered friends into the theater, telling them that this was a movie they had to see. I started getting e-mails about it months ago. Had I seen it? I hadn't even heard of it.
It is a film about a man wholly absorbed in the moment. He wanders woods and riverbanks, finding materials and playing with them, fitting them together, piling them up, weaving them, creating beautiful arrangements that he photographs before they return to chaos. He knows that you can warm the end of an icicle just enough to make it start to melt, and then hold it against another icicle, and it will stick. With that knowledge, he makes an ice sculpture, and then it melts in the sun and is over.
Some of his constructions are of magical beauty, as if left behind by beings who disappeared before the dawn. He finds a way to arrange twigs in a kind of web. He makes a spiral of rocks that fans out from a small base and then closes in again, a weight on top holding it together. This is not easy, and he gives us pointers: "Top control can be the death of a work." Often Andy will be ... almost there ... right on the edge ... holding his breath as one last piece goes into place ... and then the whole construction will collapse, and he will look deflated, defeated, for a moment ("Damn!"), and then start again: "When I build something, I often take it to the very edge of its collapse, and that's a very beautiful balance." His art needs no explanation. We go into modern art galleries and find work we cannot comprehend as art. We see Damien Hurst's sheep, cut down the middle and embedded in plastic, and we cannot understand how it won the Turner Prize (forgetting that no one thought Turner was making art, either). We suppose that Concepts and Statements are involved.
But with Andy Goldsworthy, not one word of explanation is necessary, because every single one of us has made something like his art. We have piled stones or made architectural constructions out of sand, or played Pick-Up Stix, and we know exactly what he is trying to do--and why. Yes, why, because his art takes him into that Zone where time drops away and we forget our left-brain concerns and are utterly absorbed by whether this ... could go like this ... without the whole thing falling apart.
The documentary, directed, photographed and edited by Thomas Riedelsheimer, a German filmmaker, goes home with Goldsworthy to Penpont, Scotland, where we see him spending some time with his wife and kids. It follows him to a museum in the South of France, and to an old stone wall in Canada that he wants to rebuild in his own way. It visits with him old stone markers high in mountains, built by early travelers to mark the path.
And it offers extraordinary beauty. We watch as he smashes stones to release their cyan content and uses that bright-red dye to make spectacular patterns in the currents and whirlpools of streams. We see a long rope of linked leaves, bright green, uncoil as it floats downstream. Before, we saw only the surface of the water, but now the movement of the leaves reveals its current and structure. What a happy man. Watching this movie is like daydreaming.
Roger Ebert was the film critic of the Chicago Sun-Times from 1967 until his death in 2013. In 1975, he won the Pulitzer Prize for distinguished criticism.

Return-to-office to ramp up office market absorption
By Kris Crismundo April 28, 2022, 8:34 pm
MAKATI CBD. Makati central business district is home to bulk of offices spaces in the country. The office market in the Philippines is expected to further recover this year as employees are ordered to return to their workplaces. (File photo)
MANILA – As the coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) restrictions eased and workers are urged to return to their workplaces, the Philippine office market is expected to stabilize occupancy rate for 2022, a professional services and investment management firm said.
During the Colliers Philippine property market briefing Thursday, the company has seen a positive net absorption on office spaces in the first quarter this year, riding the return-to-office (RTO) momentum.
Colliers Philippines Office services-tenant representation senior director Dom Frederick Andaya said the office market had a net take-up of 26,400 square meters in January to March this year, the first positive net take-up after seven consecutive quarters of negative absorption.
"The return-to-office and expansion plans of companies buoyed by improving pandemic situation and economic stimulus measures should accelerate take-up for the remainder of 2022," Andaya added.
For the full year 2022, net absorption for office space is projected to reach 350,000 square meters.
More office space will be completed this year, adding 821,900 square meters of available office space, 60 percent of which are located in Ortigas central business district, Makati fringe, and the Bay Area.
Colliers Philippines also advised tenants to take advantage of lower office rents, which declined by 3.1 percent in the first quarter of 2022 compared to the fourth quarter of 2021.
It added that office rents have plummeted by 30 percent compared to pre-pandemic levels. (PNA)

Goldin Auctions Planning Mega Event for Babe Ruth Debut Anniversary
The calendar hasn't turned to 2014 yet, but there is an event already to mark on the schedule for next year. Goldin Auctions is conducting the Babe Ruth Centennial Auction in July, celebrating the 100th anniversary of Ruth's MLB debut with high-end pieces like a rookie-era game-used bat and a 1914 Baltimore News rookie card.
On July 11, 1914, the greatest player in baseball history, Babe Ruth, played his first Major League Baseball game and baseball was forever changed. Exactly 100 years later, Goldin Auctions, the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum and Steiner Sports will also make history when they hold the largest auction of Babe Ruth memorabilia – the Goldin Auctions Babe Ruth Centennial Auction.
The Goldin Auctions Babe Ruth Centennial Auction will be open to bidders in an online auction at www.GoldinAuctions.com, culminating with a Live Auction format on July 12 at the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum & Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards in Baltimore. The live auction, which will also be webcast at GoldinAuctions.com for bidders unable to attend the live auction, will be preceded by a special preview night at the museum for registered bidders on July 11. Appropriately, the Yankees will be in Baltimore to face the Orioles that weekend.
1916 Babe Ruth rookie era game used bat (PSA GU-9)
"As a player, Babe Ruth was in a class by himself and appropriately his influence on the sports collectibles industry is unmatched," explains Ken Goldin, founder of Goldin Auctions. "The Babe did everything big, so it's appropriate to celebrate him with the biggest sports memorabilia auction ever. We're excited to partner with the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum and Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards and Steiner Sports to bring these great Babe Ruth treasures to auction."
The New York Yankees memorabilia partner, Steiner Sports, will aid in the marketing and promotion of the event and provide a wide selection of unique items including collectibles from Yankee Stadium, game-used Yankee memorabilia, plus high-end collectibles and unique fan experiences.
"Babe Ruth was a larger than life icon and had countless magical moments which took place on Yankee Stadium soil. We are pleased to be a part of this historic event with Goldin Auctions and the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum" stated Brandon Steiner, president of Steiner Sports.
The Goldin Auctions Babe Ruth Centennial Auction will include up to 200 super-premium items in a Live Auction, plus more than 1,500 items for sale exclusively online. Many of the key items in the auction, including many of Ruth's personal effects will be available for viewing at both the Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum and the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards leading up to the auction. Some of the high-value Live Auction items already consigned include:
1916 Babe Ruth rookie era game used bat (PSA GU-9) This recently discovered bat, which has been in the possession of the original owner's family in Massachusetts for 97 years, is one of the three earliest known Ruth bats to be graded and authenticated, and the highest graded of the three.
1914 Baltimore News Babe Ruth rookie card Although not as famous as The T206 Wagner, this card may be just as rare and valuable. In fact, a recent version graded PSA 1 sold for more than a comparably graded Wagner. It is clearly the most valuable Ruth card in existence.
1932 Babe Ruth game used bat (PSA GU-10) with New York Yankees provenance and letter from the Yankees.
1920s Babe Ruth game-used and autographed bat.
"We are pleased to be working with Goldin Auctions on this historic occasion. We are excited that all the patrons of our museum will be able to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Babe Ruth's major league debut with us throughout 2014 with new additions of historic memorabilia on display," added John Hein, director of Business Development Babe Ruth Birthplace Museum and the Sports Legends Museum at Camden Yards.
Babe Ruth Roadshow
The Goldin Auctions Babe Ruth Roadshow will begin in January, as memorabilia experts from Goldin Auctions, accompanied by a television production crew, will canvass the country to find vintage Ruth artifacts. Highlights from the Roadshow will be featured in a television special in advance of the auction, and potentially a documentary series. The Roadshow will make stops in New York, Boston, California and Baltimore, plus multiple Midwest cities. The Roadshow schedule will be available in January at GoldinAuctions.com plus their social sites on Facebook and Twitter. The production will be handled by Silent Crow Arts.
Although the Ruth items are the centerpieces of the historic auction, collectors will also have the opportunity to bid upon items from other legendary Yankees players such as Joe DiMaggio, Lou Gehrig Mickey Mantle and Yogi Berra. Several spectacular items from thes e legendary Yankees have already been consigned including: a DiMaggio 1941 game-used bat from the season of his 56-game hitting streak, MVP and World Series championship; a Mantle 1966 game-used and signed fielder's glove, which is the last glove he wore as a center fielder; Mantle's 1960 player's contract; a 1951 Mantle rookie game-used and signed bat; plus a matched pair of Yogi Berra game-used catcher's mitt and mask.

This recipe puts a gourmet spin on a Chinese takeout classic. We're making our sesame chicken stir-fry with an authentic, flavorful sauce of sesame oil, rice vinegar and soy glaze. And for a unique addition, we're serving it with Japanese soba (or buckwheat) noodles, which are wonderfully nutty in flavor. For seasonal flair, we're also mixing in cauliflower—a vegetable with deep roots in Asian cuisines. Its deliciously earthy flavor elevates the dish to new heights.
Wash and dry the fresh produce. Heat a medium pot of salted water to boiling on high. Cut out and discard the cauliflower core; cut the head into small florets. Peel and mince the garlic and ginger. Cut off and discard the root ends of the scallions; thinly slice the scallions, separating the white bottoms and green tops. Pat the chicken cutlets dry with paper towels; chop into large pieces and place in a large bowl. Thoroughly wash your hands, knife and cutting board after handling the chicken.
Add the noodles to the pot of boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 5 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly and rinse under warm water to prevent sticking.
While the noodles cook, in a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of oil on medium-high until hot. Add the cauliflower; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned and tender. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.
Season the chopped chicken with salt and pepper. Add the cornstarch to the bowl of seasoned chicken; toss to thoroughly coat. In the pan used to cook the cauliflower, heat a thin layer of oil on medium-high until hot. Add the coated chicken (shaking off any excess cornstarch) in a single layer. Cook, turning occasionally, 5 to 7 minutes, or until browned on all sides and cooked through. Add the garlic, ginger and white bottoms of the scallions. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
To the pan of chicken, add the cooked noodles (rinsing under warm water again before adding), cooked cauliflower, soy glaze, vinegar, sesame oil, half the sesame seeds and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 4 minutes, or until the chicken and noodles are thoroughly coated. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper to taste.
Divide the finished stir-fry between 4 dishes. Garnish with the green tops of the scallions and remaining sesame seeds. Enjoy!

US Highland Accelerates Corporate Growth with Acquisitions
PHOENIX, Ariz., June 26, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- US Highland (OTC:UHLN), a franchise development company that builds and represents popular franchise concepts throughout the United States and International markets, is pleased to announce it has positioned itself for significant growth through continued strategic and dynamic acquisitions of assets. In March, US Highland acquired 100% of a health-conscious restaurant company, and previously this month the company announced the pending acquisition of Supreme Sweets, Inc. ("Supreme"), a producer of custom private label products for restaurant chains and grocery retailers.
The company also disclosed in May, that it will be changing its name to better reflect its current operations and targeted acquisitions. In addition, the company will utilize a new website, press release and social media outlets in order to increase transparency of our corporate growth.
In March 2018, the company announced that it had acquired 100% of a health-conscious, restaurant company which offers consumers a healthy diverse menu made with fresh organic ingredients everyday. The brand, also headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia is currently expanding across the Southeast. The chain provides consumers a healthy, diverse menu made with fresh organic ingredients every day. The brand offers a diverse menu from flatbread sandwiches, bowls, wraps, salads, and fresh proteins such as chicken, turkey, steak and falafel. All entrees are also available in pre-packaged "meal plans," for take-out.
In June 2018, the company announced the pending acquisition of Supreme Sweets, Inc., a Toronto based commercial bakery that designs, produces and delivers custom private label products for restaurant chains and grocery retailers. Founded and managed by Mario and Barbara Parravano, Supreme Sweets brings over 70 years of experience in the food industry, encompassing the creation of unique product lines, designing manufacturing equipment and a business with over $25mm in revenue with 300 employees.
Supreme has established a strong customer base with national and international retailers. Their 38,000 sq. ft. facility has the capability to produce any mixed, fresh baked, par-baked, frozen, fried, extruded or cold-slabbed product. Upon the closing of the acquisition and infusion of capital, Supreme Sweets is expected to grow at an exponential rate to deliver value to the company and its shareholders.
Mario Parravano, President of Supreme Sweets commented, "We are very excited about becoming part of US Highland. We have nearly completed the due diligence process and expect to close the acquisition in the coming days. The acquisition / partnership will help us expand our business and open even more doors in our multi-billion dollar market!"
With additional acquisitions, both vertical and horizontal, on the horizon, Supreme will become an integral part to UHLN's long-term growth strategy. UHLN will capitalize on Supremes' ability to cater to the fastest growing segment in the industry – health-focused quick service restaurants (QSRs). Product lines will continue to expand and already feature Gluten-free and low-calorie items.
The recently announced pending acquisition of Toronto-based Supreme Sweets, on the heels of the March acquisition, is an example of what US Highland CEO Everett Dickson has planned for the future. "The operators behind Supreme Sweets, Mario and Barbara Parravano, have combined over 70 years experience in the food industry, both retail and wholesale. This experience includes the creation of unique product lines, designing manufacturing equipment and a business with over $25mm in revenue with 300 employees. Supreme has been in operation since 2015, and they have established a strong customer base with national and international retailers. Their, soon to be our, 38,000 sq. ft. facility has the capability to produce any mixed, fresh baked, par-baked, frozen, fried, extruded or cold-slabbed product. The acquisition of Supreme is virtually complete. We are patiently waiting on the definitive agreements to be finalized and expect to close it soon. Our priority and commitment is to maintain clear and consistent communication with, and deliver value to, our shareholders."

Wondering if MetLife recognized the irony in naming their most currrent guaranteed minimum income benefit rider.
The most current version of Met's GMIB is referred to as Max V. A more appropriate title would be Max IV but that title went to the previous iteration which actually had richer features than the Max V.
If this all sounds confusing, it is... GMIB Max V is a living benefit feature that increases contract owners' benefit base by 4 percent each year and allows for 4 percent withdrawals.
For what it's worth, the enhanced death benefit also allows for a 4 percent annual increase.
The prior version of the GMIB (and GMDB) had a 5 percent rate.
Of course MetLife is not alone in dialing-down the rates associated with their guaranteed living benefits. The entire industry has either been exiting the variable annuity business or significantly modifying their living benefit features.
Low interest rates are the driver of these trends. At a certain point, though, consumers and their financial advisors need to assess how much bang for the buck there is through these living benefit riders. Consider, for example, that the 4 percent Max V GMIB is actually 3 percent in real terms when the 1 percent fee is deducted.
3 percent is not exactly a robust level of lifetime income and as many advisors point-out, maintaining a 3 percent systematic withdrawal is not entirely unrealistic even in our low interest rate environment.
There is an interesting feature available through this product that allows for an investment strategy that is sort of similar to dynamic rebalancing.
MetLife refers to this as their "optional automated investment strategy" and there is a choice between 2 approaches to this automated rebalancing.
First, with the "Rebalancer" option the contract owner is allowed to select their own asset allocation (including the allocation to the fixed account) and the entire account is then rebalanced on a monthly basis to stay in line with their desired allocation.
The other option is the "Index Selector" where the contract owner selects among 5 preset asset allocation models that range from conservative to aggressive and are intended to reflect the owner's level of risk tolerance. Model components include the Barclays Aggregate Bond Index, MetLife Stock Index, MSCI EAFE Index, Russell 2000 Index and MetLife Mid Cap Stock Index.
The automated approaches are a nice feature since they remove some of the complexity and day-to-day investment decision making responsibility.


The purpose of carpet padding is to support and protect the carpet and to provide a cushion of comfort when walked on. A quality pad is crucial to the best possible performance of the carpet. Remember, the most expensive pad you can buy is a cheap pad that causes your carpet to wear faster than it should.
This is the most commonly used type of pad. It is made from scraps of foam used in the furniture industry and from recycled carpet pad. Generally, rebond pad gives a firmer walk and is suitable for a wide range of carpet types. (Recent technological breakthroughs have made possible "engineered pads" that are vastly superior to the basic rebond pad.) Contact us for more information.
Fiber padding is made from either natural or synthetic fibers. This type of pad is also referred to as felt. This type of pad is used to limit the up and down movement of a carpet and provides a very firm walk. It is extremely durable and very appropriate for woven carpets.
Made from various types of urethane foam and available in a wide range of thicknesses and densities. New technologies are rapidly changing this type of padding and the best can provide many years of performance as well as an amazingly soft feel under the carpet. Used properly, they can provide an incredible "wow" feeling to a new carpet.
Sloane's can provide a range of moisture barrier pads. There are advantages and disadvantages depending on where they are used and your circumstances. We are happy to discuss this with you when you visit.
I am very pleased with Sloane's. I had purchased carpet from another store the day before I went to Sloane's and ended up canceling because for the same amount of money, I was able to carpet my upstairs and downstairs. The carpet is wonderful and the installer was great. I recommend Sloane's to anyone I know that needs carpet.

A student must apply to and be accepted by both the Chemistry Department and by SPEA for study toward an M.S. degree in Chemistry and an M.S. in Environmental Science. The student will receive graduate advising in both the Chemistry Department and SPEA. Both degrees can be conferred upon the holder of a bachelor's degree or master's degree in another discipline.
A minimum of 51 total credit hours with a minimum of 21 credits required in both Chemistry and SPEA, to be distributed among the following six areas of chemistry and environmental science: (1) chemistry core (9 cr.); (2) environmental science core (9 cr.); (3) economics, policy, and law competencies (6-9 cr.); (4) tool skills (3-5 cr.); (5) environmental chemistry concentration (15-18 cr.); and (6) an experiential requirement (3 cr.). One of the 3-credit hour courses must involve team participation in an integrative project that addresses a multidisciplinary problem. This course may be in either of the concentrations or in the tool skill courses.
Experiential Requirement
A minimum of three credits associated with an approved experiential assignment, such as an internship or prior employment, is required.
The thesis requirement is waived for the dual M.S. Chemistry/M.S.E.S. degrees.
Master of Arts for Teachers Degree
The Master of Arts for Teachers (MAT) program is a two-year, non-thesis masters and certification program that prepares secondary education teachers. The program consists of graduate coursework in chemistry in combination with education coursework toward certification in the School of Education. Returning teachers with certification usually take only one year to complete graduate chemistry coursework. Students with B.A. or B.S. degrees in chemistry, but with no education background, may complete requirements for a secondary Indiana teaching certificate and strengthen their background in chemistry.
Eighteen (18) credit hours of chemistry, including one semester each of general, quantitative, and organic chemistry. Deficiencies must be removed without graduate credit. Continuance in the program will depend upon the performance in coursework taken during the first semester in the program, and continued good standing in the program; alternatively, a qualifying examination may be administered after either one semester or one summer in the program.
A total of 36 credit hours, of which a minimum of 20 credit hours must be in courses in chemistry that carry graduate credit. For students without prior education coursework, the remaining 16 credits are to be fulfilled through School of Education courses. Consult School of Education, Graduate Studies Office (Wright Education Building 4210, [812] 856-8504) for Education coursework requirements.
A maximum of 6 credit hours of undergraduate courses may be applied toward the M.A.T. degree. For a student having an unusually strong undergraduate background in chemistry or biochemistry (e.g., a B.S. degree), some of the required 20 credit hours in advanced chemistry courses may be in other areas of science and mathematics, if approved in advance by the graduate advisor.
Lecture-Course Requirements
Students are advised to select an area of specialization within chemistry, while developing a broad base of knowledge in several areas. To that end, students will take twelve (12) credit hours in lecture courses, distributed as follows: 6 credit hours in one of the following six areas: analytical, chemical biology, inorganic, materials, organic, or physical chemistry; and 3 credit hours in each of two of the remaining six fields.
Lecture courses may be selected from those at the 500-level or above, or with departmental approval from any of the following undergraduate courses: analytical, A314, C317, C318; biological, C481, C483, C484, C485, B486; inorganic, C430; organic, C342, S342, C443; physical, C360, C361, C362, C460.
Laboratory-Course Requirements
Students are required to have had experience in upper level laboratories in three of the six areas of chemistry. If this requirement was not fulfilled prior to admission into the MAT program, graduate level laboratory courses may be taken to augment students' laboratory experience. Additionally, the following, and comparable courses taken elsewhere, will qualify with departmental approval: A316, C315, C344, P364, C437, P464, C487.
Additional courses in chemistry may count with departmental approval at the 400-level or above to give a total of at least 20 credit hours (including course work in the preceding two categories). Up to 16 credit hours in courses may count with departmental approval at the 300 level or above in mathematics, biological sciences, physical sciences, or education carrying graduate credit.
Either oral or written, or both.
Master of Library Science/Master of Information Science Degree Information Specialist (Chemistry)

Doctor of Philosophy Degree
The program leading to the Ph.D. degree emphasizes the attainment of a high level of competency in a specialized area of chemistry, but also requires the development of broad knowledge and experience. By the time the degree is earned, the student should show promise of becoming a capable and independent investigator in chemistry. The major emphasis for the Ph.D. is on research while in residence on the Bloomington campus. Research should be the student's greatest challenge and the focus of the major portion of his or her energy. The student's attitude toward and progress in research is a most important factor in graduate committee decisions.
A total of 90 credit hours, of which at least 24 credit hours must be in course work. Students may major in analytical, chemical biology, inorganic, materials, organic, or physical chemistry. Doctoral students majoring in a field of chemistry are required to complete a minimum of 12 credit hours of course work in that field, following a sequence of courses approved by their advisory committee.
A doctoral student in chemistry can choose to minor within the Chemistry Department or can elect to minor in some other department. In the latter case, the requirements are specified by the minor department. Students electing to minor within the department must complete a minimum of 6 credit hours in areas of chemistry other than the major area by following the subplans/tracks., otherwise you must create an Individualized Minor which provides additional breadth and depth to the individualized degree. The course work comprising an inside minor must be approved by the advisory committee.
All doctoral students in chemistry are required to enroll in 6 credits of C500 Introduction to Research during their first year of study.
Foreign-Language/Tool-Skill Requirement
The department has no formal foreign language or tool-skill requirement, but Ph.D. advisory committees may consider such courses essential for individual students.
Qualifying Examinations
To remain in good standing, each student must successfully complete the chemistry seminar course in the chosen major (A800, B800/C689*, M800, N800, R800, or P800) during the third and fourth semester, and present a literature seminar by the end of the second year. *Chemical biology majors will take one semester of B800 (third semester) and one semester of C689 (fourth semester) to fulfill their second year chemistry seminar course requirement.
In the fifth semester, students meet with their advisory committees to review past performance in both the major and minor areas and to evaluate plans for completing the Ph.D. This review includes a seminar, written document, and oral examination. Current information concerning probation, termination, and reinstatement policies may be obtained from the departmental graduate office.
Usually oral, covering dissertation, major, and minors, and also a seminar describing the dissertation.

Pharaoh ants are also specific types of the ant's .Their body color and physical features are different from the other ants. This type of the ants are easily exist in the winter because they get artificial heat from the buildings. Their rush is mostly near the food storage places .They made their houses very deep and near the warm places. They eat all types of the foods specially sweets. They also eat different types of the plant insects .The control of these ants is very easy .For help of the insects' professionals.


Sonny, I'm old enough to have changed your nappies.
You're sent from heavenAnd I know your worth.You made a heaven for me here on the earth.When I'm old and grey, dear,Promise you won't stray, dear,For I love you so, Sonny Boy.
Don't rush me Sonny. You rush a miracle man, you get terrible miracles.
— Played by Billy Crystal in The Princess Bride (1987).
Sonny, true love is the greatest thing in the world – except for a nice MLT – mutton, lettuce, and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomatoes are ripe.


GrabCAD had the chance to talk at length with Stephen Clambaneva, who has been organizing the IDSA NE conference in Hartford, Connecticut as well as the very popular Colour-Aided-Design Render Challenge. His primary occupation is working as an industry consultant for DASSAULT SYSTEMES for the consumer goods and retail industry. In a crowded restaurant around the corner from Times Square in New York City, we chatted for a hour about CAD, Colour, GrabCAD, PLM, DIY and the Future of Industrial Design.
Sometimes when one is under pressure to get their injection mold tooling done, turning to GrabCAD for a little help is a great idea. When you need 60,000 of something, the mold has to be right, or else you have 60,000 mistakes. There are lots of different designs in our library - many of them made by professionals in real-world applications. Lots of lessons to learn from there. Here are some of our favourites.
Here is a flow simulation by GrabCAD Legend Stefan Varga. Everything was created in Moldex3D and comes complete with a shrinkage analysis.
At the tail-end of the wildly popular IDSA Render Challenge (568 submissions!), I managed to catch up with Juror, Industrial Designer and Marketer Robert Nightingale and talk shop. As a part of WeCross, a huge open-concept collaborative space near Lower Manhattan, Robert and his small firm RBRTNGHTNGL is a proponent of cross-pollennation of talents, fields and processes.
We're Looking for Collaboration Stories – Share Yours!
Our Business Development Manager, Andrew DiVincenzo, invites all GrabCADrs using private projects to share their stories. Big manufacturer? Small workshop? Newly graduated Engineer? Own your own three-person design firm? It doesn't matter - we'd love to hear your tales.
Rhinoceros 3D, known as Rhino is quite an interesting CAD tool. Widely favoured by Product Designers, Architects and Automotive Designers because of its 'free-form non-uniform rational B-spline (NURBS) modeling', allowing the creation of curvilinear designs easy as pie. There are also hundreds of third-party plugins. At the beginning Rhino was distributed freely, allowing a community to spring up to help de-bug and improve newer versions. Sounds familiar, no?
Here is a VTOL Concept by Sönke Dierks, completee with a "turbine in the bottom of the fuselage driving electric motors in the (udf) fan-nacelles, thrust vectoring nozzle on the tip of the tail. fan nacelles 90 degrees tiltable."
The original members of GrabCAD were Engineers, and as such, we concentrated on running Design Challenges to resolve engineering problems. However, we've grown so fast that we have thousands of people in many other fields. There are many companies out there that want new aesthetically pleasing designs, like jewellery for example. The question is: Should we be challenging GrabCADrs to come up with interesting and aesthetically pleasing designs more?
Lots of GrabCADrs take on Design Challenges to improve their CAD skills, earn a little cash on the side, come up with a brilliant idea or simply for fun. In a World where CAD design is be increasingly used in home decor or in personal adornments, do you think that GrabCAD ought to be having more challenges with companies that make this work? We'd love to hear what you have to say - write your thoughts on the comments below!
...might as well start with GrabCAD Tutorial page! We've been growing lots as of recent and more GrabCADrs are uploaded (and viewing) some pretty valuable tutorials. Whether you're a Professional looking to expand your skill-set or a student working your chops, there are plenty of great tutorials - here are some of the best.
It's π Day. The Internationally recognized day of remembrance for our irrational yet mathematically constant friend, 3.14159... So this time we looked for the models that reflected the best usage of π in CAD. That would nearly everywhere, sometimes hidden in plain view. Can you think of a moment when you aren't using π in some small way for a large, obtuse but very difficult Engineering proof?
Sudhir Gill created this Angle Calculator for a Design challenge we had last year. What an amazing idea. By combining the elements of a slide ruler and a protractor, Sudhir came up with an elegant way to calculate angles quickly. Sometimes you only need a little bit of π to do useful work.
GrabCAD is a collection of lots and lots of pixels - and GrabCADrs too. But on your screen, its bit-mapped pixel by pixel. Voxels are essentially the three-dimensional version - a point in space that together forms a shape. Although CAD users are familiar with surfaces, solids, NURBS and meshes, voxels are coming into the picture in design and manufacture, with unexpected consequences.

Welcome to Advanced Digital Media!
ADM is a year-long class for 7th and 8th grade students. The semester long Digital Media class is not a prerequisite, but is recommended. Advanced Digital Media covers all of the topics of Digital Media in greater detail, with a focus on digital video production. ADM will cover plotting, scripting, storyboarding, and video composition. Learners will use their skills to create a biweekly television show for the student body. They will track their daily work habits in a log book, and will create, organize, and maintain a digital resource library.
ADM is also in charge of designing and creating the yearbook.
ADM is a projects-based course. Learners will have enough time to complete all standard projects during class hours. However, some special assignments may require students to record after-school activities.
Burbank Unified School District provides home versions of the Microsoft Office Suite for all learners. However, BUSD does not provide any hardware or graphics software. There is some video equipment available for overnight and weekend use.
All assignments will be submitted to Google Classroom. I will give you instructions on how to sign up during class.
Remember: If you don't turn a project in through Google Classroom, you will not get credit for your work!
Your learner will always be able to show you every assignment they have received, all work they have turned in, and all work that has been graded on Google Classroom. Assignments will also be entered into the Aeries grade book as graded, but there will be a delay between Google Classroom and Aeries. Please check Google Classroom first!

LBC has been supporting St Mungo's each month for several years now.
This was initiated by the Directors who wanted the London poor and homeless to be the main beneficiaries of our London based company – though we do still give to good causes outside London (such a children's club in Sussex, and a woman's hostel in East Anglia) and occasionally abroad.
We believe in giving back to the community we serve; and particularly to those in need in the areas where we are carrying out our work. We aim to give proportion of our profits back to the poor in our community, through charitable giving.
St Mungo's is one of those charities we are very happy to support.
St Mungo's Broadway believes no one should be homeless and that people can – and do – recover from the issues that create homelessness.


Rhimes will be producing a show about Anna Delvey best known as the "Socialite Scammer." Delvey, whose real name is Anna Sorokin, pretended to be a German heiress and conned banks and individuals out of hundreds of thousands of dollars. Her most recent exploit may have been the scam of Fyre Festival founder Billy McFarland.
Rhimes' work for Netflix has been cloaked in mystery until now. In a New York Times profile Rhimes described her upcoming projects under the Shondaland label. In all she has eight projects in the production phase. They include an untitled British Regency era series based on the novel of Julia Quinn and the fictional Bridgerton family.
"A Warmth of Other Suns" based on the non-fiction book by Isabel Wilkerson portrays the mass exodus of black Americas from the south to the north and midwest during the era of Jim Crow.
"Reset: My Fight for Inclusion and Lasting Change" a memoir written by Ellen Pao about her experience at the venture capital firm Kleiner Perkins. Pao filed a gender discrimination lawsuit against Kleiner Perkins.
Rhimes will partner with Grey's Anatomy star Debbie Allen for a documentary series about her re-imagining of the holiday classic "The Nutcracker" entitled "Hot Chocolate Nutcracker," for her Debbie Allen Dance Company.
"Sunshine Scouts" is a post apocalyptic tale of teenage girls who survive while at summer camp and must deal with what remains of the world.
"The Residence" based on a book by Kate Anderson Bower, who writes about the lives of American presidents while they lived in the White House.
These shows are currently under production at Shondaland studios. However neither Rhimes or Netflix has announced when the shows will air…er stream.

Welcome, New GMWEA Board Members!
GMWEA is governed by a 12-member board of directors, all of whom are association members and water quality professionals; they are elected by the membership at our annual Spring Meeting and Training Conference.
This year, we're especially pleased to welcome two individuals who will be serving on the board for the first time, even if they're not new to GMWEA. We look forward to an exciting year of growth and change with their expertise and enthusiasm helping to guide the association!
Amy Macrellis is a project water quality specialist in the water resources management group at Stone Environmental. Amy started her career in Michigan, turning a love for rock-hounding into a bachelor's degree in Geological Sciences from Albion College, and then a master's degree in Environmental Geoscience from Michigan State University. Since coming to Vermont in 2000, it's been all about communities, water, and soil, and she has developed a great respect for our state's clean water professionals.
Amy now has over a decade of experience supporting Stone's clients by providing technical leadership and editorial support for stormwater and wastewater management plans and feasibility studies, policy development, and applied water quality research projects. Her recent work focuses on implementation of green stormwater infrastructure in policy and practice for municipalities, stewardship organizations, and state agencies, including VTrans and VTANR.
Amy remains involved in community wastewater planning with an emphasis on Vermont's unsewered villages. She still gets her hands dirty some days by completing site, soil, and hydrogeologic evaluations in preparation for design and construction of stormwater BMPs and community wastewater systems.
Amy has been a member of GMWEA's Government Affairs Committee since 2017. As a new board member, she says she is excited—and humbled—to bring her knowledge and perspectives in service to all of GMWEA's members during a time of rapidly changing state and federal regulations and policies.
Eileen Toomey began her environmental career in 1990 at Spectrum Laboratory, where she learned basic chemistry and acquired a great interest in wastewater. In 2000, she began working as lab tech at Morrisville Wastewater Treatment Plant, then served for eight years as operator at the facility, where she learned a great deal about the field. She is known to many in the water sciences industries in her role as customer support specialist at Endyne Laboratory Services Labs, which she feels is good preparation for a role on the GMWEA board – she says she looks forward to serving GMWEA's membership with the same attentiveness.
A mother of two, grandmother of four going on five, a proud seventh-generation Vermont woodchuck, she lives in Morrisville. She has been chair of GMWEA's Continuing Education Committee since 2017.

Kanton Atoll, Phoenix Islands, Pacific Ocean. Okay, Escape Artists. If you really want to get away from it all, you come here.
Named after an American whaling ship that wrecked on the reef here in 1854, you don't get more isolated than this. The nearest inhabited island is over 1,000 miles away. The only visitors are via a private yacht about once a year or so, or a Kiribati patrol boat bringing supplies once every six months.
We are the first private plane (our chartered King Air) to land here in years. The islanders who live here are Micronesian speaking Gilbertese. There are only some three dozen of them. You can imagine how happy they are to see us.
Neither you nor I could imagine living here. There is no radio, television, internet or cell phones, and hardly any electricity – a diesel-powered generator is fired up only occasionally.
The only water is rainwater caught in cisterns. They subsist on fish, crabs, and coconuts, plus rice and other staples the patrol boat brings which has to last for six months or more. They live in disintegrating ramshackle homes.
The homes are amidst colossal rusting wreckage – for this was once a flourishing air base built by the U.S. government during WWII and subsequently by Pan American Airways in the 50s. The base has been abandoned since the early 70s – lost, collapsed, and forgotten.
Kanton could flourish once again, and easily – for there is a vast sunken treasure in the atoll's lagoon that would attract a certain species of treasure-hunter willing to pay small fortunes if there was a way to get here and a decent place to stay.
Here's a picture of the treasure:
Giant trevally are one of the world's most sought-after game fish by champion fly-fishermen. The Kanton lagoon teems with them like nowhere else, along with the other dream trophy of fly-fishing, bonefish. The above photo was taken in 2015 on the first private fishing boat charter to reach here in 20 years, as it takes so long and costs so much to get here from Hawaii.
Here's their description of what they found:
"Giant Trevally patrol here in reckless abandon, devoid of human fear and in staggering numbers. The GT dominates the surf line, lagoon, and the only passage of the atoll, located on the western, leeward side. The passage is where current and tidal movement control the lifeblood of the atoll.
Turtles, whale sharks, manta rays, and dolphins abound in addition to trophy class species such as triggerfish, bonefish, rainbow runner, jobfish, dogtooth tuna, yellowfin tuna, napoleon wrasse, and golden and bluefin trevally. Crescent-tails pierce the water's surface in each aspect, colorful parrotfish and black surgeons mooch along the bountiful flats. Black-tip whale sharks cruise every inch of Kanton's waters – a true indication that this reef is well and truly in prime health."
Kanton (the only inhabited island in the Phoenix Islands), in keeping with the usual lunacy of international diplomacy, is part of the country of Kiribati (pronounced kee-ree-bass – there is no rational explanation for the spelling), which is the 173rd smallest country in the world (310 square miles, smaller than São Tomé, barely bigger than Bahrain) in land area, and the 6th largest country on earth (1.3 million square miles, bigger than India) in sovereign ocean area.
You'd think it would be easy for the Kiribati government in Tarawa (the capital) to make investing in Kanton simple and attractive. But, of course, they insist on being an obstacle instead, demanding high taxes, monopoly control, rules piled on rules, the same government perversity that's become almost globally ubiquitous.
An example of the perversity is the runway of the now-abandoned Canton Island Airport. More than a mile long (6,230 feet), it's still usable – we just landed on it no problem.
The prime example, however, is that while sport fishermen who come here practice catch-and-release eco-fishing – no environmental harm – on the other hand, the Tarawa government is wholly unable to patrol their vast ocean area which is being pillaged by giant pirate fishing trawlers from China and elsewhere.
So here we are, in a King Air 200 I managed to charter, all by ourselves with a handful of Kantonese in their utter isolation and what we would consider utter poverty.
You'd think they would be full of anger and resentment for their lives – like so many inner-city Americans who enjoy a prosperity unimaginable to the Kantonese – but the opposite is true.
The people here are genuinely and truly happy.
They feel absolutely no stress in their lives. Each cheerfully contributes what skills or capacities they have to their families, which takes a few hours a day, and the rest of the time they enjoy life – which primarily means enjoying being with each other.
They'll gather and talk for hours in a fale – an oval of smoothed crushed coral that's like cement with a thatch roof but no walls, just a series of poles holding up the roof. It doesn't matter what they're talking about, it's just the simple pleasure of being and communicating.
I watched and listened to many of their conversations. I didn't understand a word, of course, as they speak Kantonese, but I was listening to their tone. It was always calm, joyful, and serene, interspersed with outbursts of uproarious laughter.
There was never a tone of anger or upset. Life is too short to be upset, they said. They have all the time in the world, but no time for anger or stress. They'd rather laugh and be happy with one another instead.
They held a memorable celebration for us with glorious singing and traditional dances. You cannot find a more friendly and hospitable people.
You and I live in an exceedingly stressful world. We wish we didn't. Do we have to live on Kanton Atoll to be as stress-free as the Kantonese, to live a life of idyllic isolation?
It's a real question which we all have to answer for ourselves. For at least part of the answer can only be found by looking inside ourselves, at our attitude towards life – life in general and our own individual life in particular.
All of us – unless our physical brain is malfunctioning neurologically – have the capacity for an inner serenity, an inner joyfulness for simply being alive. We need to search and explore for it.
We really need to, unless the world, which seems to be getting crazier by the day, drives us stressed-out crazy in the process. Each of us has to find a path to our own Kanton Atoll.
One way that works for me: I don't own a television, never watch TV news, don't have either a Twitter or Facebook account. I'd rather read a book, talk or be with friends, and go to places like the Kanton Atoll.
I wish you all the best in finding a path to your Kanton. Meanwhile, here's what the real thing looks like:

WAPPINGER FALLS, N.Y., Oct. 14, 2016 (SEND2PRESS NEWSWIRE) — Some things are worth celebrating twice, says Frank Nicodemus of Castle Cadillac Restorations in Wappinger Falls, New York. Like a hole in one at a PGA course. Or the time you scratched off that lottery ticket and – BINGO. One of those rare days when two cars prepared by the same local restorer, win their "senior badge" at the Antique Automobile Club of America at the same time. The calculated odds on this are about 3,000 to 1.
The AACA "Senior Badge" doesn't look like much – it's just a little metal plaque the diameter of a softball to be attached to the radiator – but it's the highest award that can be bestowed by the oldest car club in the nation.
"Not only were both of these cars chosen to receive their senior badges, but both were chosen to represent 1 of 300 cars for the AACA National Awards. There are at least 3,500 vehicles shown or driven in AACA national events and only 300 vehicles are nominated for National Awards. It is a great honor that both of our entries not only won their Senior Badges but both were chosen for the National Awards at the same time," Semke said.
The first one is a 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz owned by Jack Haverty and the other is 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz owned by Joe Kelley.
Jack Haverty's 1960 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz was eye candy for the judges; it was the rarity of the Pompeian Red and one of 99 bucket seat car from a limited production. Joe Kelley's 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz painted Rajah Silver Metallic with its re-anodized Gold grill and flawless mirrored finish saber wheels pushed this car over the top.
Mr. Haverty and Mr. Kelley waited patiently while the lengthy restorations were painstakingly performed by Semke and Nicodemus and the team ensured the perfection of each car. The final product was an impeccable restoration worthy of Semke's and Nicodemus' worldwide reputation.
"Both Cadillacs won their Senior Badges at the recent AACA Hershey Fall Meet," says Nicodemus. "But we were too busy restoring Cadillacs in our restoration facility to really celebrate with the owners, so we sat down with them the other night with a bottle of champagne."

'Ironic columns' stem from architectural innovations and quirks

The ironic columns were part of an expansion project from 1983 to 1986 and bring a creative twist to a hallmark trait for many modern buildings. Sophia Shin/Photo Editor
During his 25-year career at the College, Professor of Art History Michael Lewis has watched hundreds, if not thousands, of tour groups pause in the courtyard below his office window on the south side of the Williams College Museum of Art (WCMA). Each time, he hears the same speech delivered more or less word-for-word – "Like Old Faithful," he recalled, "Every 20 minutes, it would come back. 'See those two columns? Well, there's an interesting story behind them…'"
According to the oft-repeated anecdote, the so-called "ironic columns" at the back of Lawrence Hall were not originally included in the 1986 expansion, leaving the southern entrance bare. Predictably, the administration balked at this, insisting that the architect add columns to conform to the conventional aesthetic of an educational institution like the College. As the story goes, he begrudgingly agreed, but instead installed the snide design that we see today.
Listening to this story time and time again over the years, Lewis' frustration finally came to a head. One day, seeing a tour group approaching, he picked up a sharpie and a piece of cardboard and fashioned a sign, sticking it out through the window as the tour guide below gave their spiel. The sign displayed the words, "NOT TRUE."
The actual history of the "ironic columns" (a joke credited to art historian Whitney Stoddard '35) begins in the early 1980s with the $7.5 million expansion of Lawrence Hall and WCMA. The architect in question was the eccentric Charles Moore, a titan of postmodernism and the former dean of the Yale School of Architecture. Included in his initial models for the sizable extension was a column of a different nature – a proposed sculpture by Patrick and Anne Poirier, in which a massive, fractured column would lay on its side as though it had collapsed right in the middle of the courtyard.
Had the budget allowed its inclusion, the sculpture would have led visitors down a path on the western side of the building, at the end of which they would find the museum's entrance. Should they continue south instead of entering, they would come around the building, where they would find the cantilevered overhang which now holds faculty offices – such as that of Lewis – and the two ironic columns beneath. In fact, the columns were not only included in the initial plans, but the doorway that they mark was at one point also slated to be the museum's main entrance.
Lecturer in Art Ben Benedict, who worked closely with Moore at Yale, forcefully dispelled the myth that the columns were simply put there out of spite.
"This was an easy way for Moore to add detail and humor, using means that combined both the familiar and the surprising," Benedict said. "Moore had a positively elven sense of humor. He would often incorporate odd surprises into his work, references to the past. Always looking to use humor in funny little ways."
That flair for humor reappears in one of Moore's most well-known pieces, the Piazza d'Italia in New Orleans. The postmodern plaza not only contains several absurd columns of its own, but also several sculptural carvings of Moore's face, each of which spurts a stream of water through its mouth.
Details like these are, as Benedict put it, "very characteristic of his playful nature: doing a lot with little financial cost." Benedict also praised the aesthetic value provided by the columns, saying that "the backside of the museum really needed them. Something had to go there to take attention away from that soaring, overbearing wall above."
E.J. Johnson '59, professor emeritus of art and the editor of a book on Moore's work, continued that thread, contextualizing the columns as an extension of Moore's postmodern style.
"Part of the game of postmodern architecture was to play around with elements of the past, to treat them ironically," Johnson said. "Personally, I'm a great enthusiast of the columns. I've always thought of them as sort of emulating the Spanish inverted exclamation points."
Johnson, who was teaching at the College when the columns were installed, remembers being disappointed in the general reaction on campus at the time.
"Most people were dumbfounded by them," he said. "If they'd taken art history 101, perhaps they would have understood what was going on." Unfortunately, that confusion lingers today, augmented by the urban legend that Lewis has heard tour guides perpetuate for so long.
Whether observers are more inclined to agree with DesMeules or Johnson, all should at least consider the actual history behind the columns and come see them not as a mark of spite but, in the words of Lewis, as "something lighthearted, that tells you that history is with us, and that history is not solemn. We make use of it, we have fun with it and we approach it as an equal."

The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire
Bilingual Edition
By Aimé Césaire
Translated by Clayton Eshleman and A. James Arnold, Other A. James Arnold
The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire gathers all of Cesaire's celebrated verse into one bilingual edition. The French portion is comprised of newly established first editions of Césaire's poetic œuvre made available in French in 2014 under the title Poésie, Théâtre, Essais et Discours, edited by A. J. Arnold and an international team of specialists. To prepare the English translations, the translators started afresh from this French edition. Included here are translations of first editions of the poet's early work, prior to political interventions in the texts after 1955, revealing a new understanding of Cesaire's aesthetic and political trajectory. A truly comprehensive picture of Cesaire's poetry and poetics is made possible thanks to a thorough set of notes covering variants, historical and cultural references, and recurring figures and structures, a scholarly introduction and a glossary. This book provides a new cornerstone for readers and scholars in 20th century poetry, African diasporic literature, and postcolonial studies.
AIMÉ CÉSAIRE (1913–;2008) was best known as the co-creator (with Léopold Senghor) of the concept of négritude. CLAYTON ESHLEMAN is the author of over one hundred books, and the major American translator of Césaire, as well as César Vallejo and Antonin Artaud. A. JAMES ARNOLD is emeritus professor of French at the University of Virginia. He edited A History of Literature in the Caribbean and authored Modernism and Negritude: The Poetry and Poetics of Aimé Césaire.
"[A] voluminous work of nearly 1000 pages which should bring joy to the lovers and researchers of poetry alike."—Philippe Triay, francetvinfo, La 1ère
"This bilingual edition offers three inestimable gifts: Césaire's poetry in its original, unrevised form, rich details on the contexts of publication, and new translations into English that account for both. A treasure!"—Richard Watts, author of Packaging Post/Coloniality: The Manufacture of Literary Identity in the Francophone World
"This unobtrusively scholarly bilingual edition serves Césaire and his readers supremely well. Its forensic approach exposes the diachronic layering of Césaire's poetics, most notably the sedimentary traces of tensions and torsions between the poetic and political imperatives."—Mary Gallagher, professor of French and Francophone Studies, University College Dublin
"The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire is a fundamental work for readers of twentieth century poetry, and those especially interested in the relationships that define a poet's response to his fraught and bloody time."—Alan Graubard, Pacific Rim Review of Books
"Césaire's poetry offers a model of artistic and political opposition that equips people with more than stress and anxiety....it deepens shallow notions of identity and suggests that a subjectivity informed by powerlessness can be useful for understanding, and overturning, power."—David B. Hobbs, The Nation
"The scholarship and talent of A. J. Arnold and Clayton Eshleman have once again firmly placed Aimé Césaire on the map of world literature and introduced us to new readings of a master poet."—Maryse Condé, writer and professor emeritus, Columbia University
" Césaire, like Mallarmé and Whitman before him, took his poetic lines on long walks, employing all the elements at his disposal — linguistically an thematically – to craft a new language that could express his Blackness, or rather more specifically, his Africanness, his Caribbeanness."—André Naffis-Sahely, Poetry London
"[A] voluminous work of nearly 1000 pages which should bring joy to the lovers and researchers of poetry alike."—Philippe Triay, francetvinfo, "La 1ère"
"The Complete Poetry of Aimé Césaire promises to jump start a reassessment of Césaire's importance as a twentieth-century poet. It is the only bilingual edition in any language to date."—Pluton Magazine
"This bilingual edition offers three inestimable gifts: Césaire's poetry in its original, unrevised form, rich details on the contexts of publication, and new translations into English that account for both. A treasure!" —Richard Watts, author of Packaging Post/Coloniality: The Manufacture of Literary Identity in the Francophone World

I'm Jonathan Stiers (pronounced Styers). Join me as I share my adventures in food, design, entertaining and travel. I hope you enjoy and find some inspiration!
This year, Christmas has been an on-going, work in progress. I will admit that it took way longer than I anticipated, to decide on a theme. But you know, sometimes life just gets in the way!
I've always loved old Christmas movies from the 40s and 50s, vintage Christmas cards, decor, and all the bright colors. There's something so nostalgic about that time. The bright colors were and are so cheerful.
I stumbled upon an old Christmas card of a reindeer with a cute little bird, resting on it's nose. Vintage ornaments hanging from his antler's, it was everything I loved about that time period. I loved the use of bright pinks and blues so I decided to base my theme around those colors. I tweaked the colors of the reindeer Christmas Card and had a 3ft x 4ft canvas made.
Next it was all about finding the right ornaments. I had a surprisingly difficult time finding the right pink and blue ornaments and just the right gold. I wanted more of an amber gold vs., the traditional gold that's available everywhere. Luckily after scouring the shelves of Home Goods, Jo-Ann's, Target, Dillard's and finally Etsy, I was able to complete my tree, rounding it out with some beaded garland, that I used last year.
"The Shiny Brite company produced the most popular Christmas tree ornaments in the United States throughout the 1940s and 1950s. Max Eckardt established Shiny Brite ornaments, working with the Corning Glass company to mass-produce glass Christmas ornaments. Eckardt had been importing hand-blown glass balls from Germany since around 1907, but had the foresight to anticipate a disruption in his supply from the upcoming war. Corning adapted their process for making light bulbs to making clear glass ornaments, which were then shipped to Eckardt's factories to be decorated by hand. The fact that Shiny Brite ornaments were an American-made product was stressed as a selling point during World War II. During its peak, Shiny Brite had four factories in New Jersey, located in the cities of Hoboken, Irvington, North Bergen, and West New York. The company's main office and showroom were located at 45 East 17th Street in New York city.
I used a combination of original, vintage Shiny Brite ornaments from Esty in combination with beautiful recreations from Christopher Radko. To tie it all together, I added some pink florals, pink grosgrain ribbon and faux-snow shavings.

Q: seek in audio file based on time Seeking through an audio file based on the packet level is simple. One just has to change currentPacket when filling the next buffer:
AudioFileReadPackets(_audioFile, false, &numBytes, _packetDescs, _currentPacket, &numPackets, buffer->mAudioData);

But what if you want to seek to position 10s from the beginning of the file?
For the CBR files this should be simple to calculate - but what about VBR files?

A: The solution is to use the ExtAudio* API. One can convert the input files to LPCM on the fly and then seeking becomes trivial.

7 Jan : Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren, heading a JMM-BJP coalition government, on Thursday won a trust motion in the assembly by 19 votes.
Sixty-five-year-old Soren received 45 votes in the 81-member House while 26 were cast against him.
All five RJD members abstained from voting, while Enos Ekka of Jharkhand Party, Independent Harinarayan Rai, Congress' Gopal Nath Sahadeo and Arup Chatterjee of the Marxist Coordination Committee were absent.
Ekka and Rai are in jail in a disproportionate assets case.
Soren was invited by Governor K Sankaranarayanan on 27th December to form the government and asked to seek a vote of confidence by 8th January when he was sworn-in for a third time as chief minister on 30th December.
Besides his 18-member JMM , Soren claimed the support of NDA-20, AJSU-5, Jharkhand Janadhikar Manch-one, Rashtriya Kalyan Paksh-one and one Independent MLA Bidesh Singh.
