Desire to make sure you get an ideal purchase doorbuster package? Based on the advertising, minimal number of these discounts are available in-store just on Thanksgiving. Doors available at 6 pm, but staff members be handing out doorbuster tickets to consumers standing in line as much as couple of hours before shops available, therefore make it happen early and be prepared to wait. Don't feel just like venturing toward store? Most useful purchase will slice the on the web costs of an extra group of "mystery doorbusters" on Thursday at 11 pm ET.
One doorbuster which may be well worth waiting lined up for is it Samsung 65" HDTV. Coming in at slightly below $1, 000, this name-brand ready reaches least $398 underneath the current price of any similar HDTV as well as the cheapest Samsung 65" set we've ever before seen. (We saw a similar Samsung HDTV for $1, 498 with a $250 Dell present card in September.) Even though specifications are not readily available, remember that it's most likely a rather standard device; the 1080p resolution and 120Hz refresh price are probably this ready's only noteworthy functions.
Although we predicted that individuals'd begin to see the return of for-profit phone discounts, we additionally predicted that people'd see free Android phones in weeks before Black Friday, therefore we'll phone this prophecy satisfied. This stellar deal is $100 below the lowest price we've seen for a new Galaxy S4 on any community, and also at least $60 below the most readily useful cost we're able to presently find elsewhere.
We predicted that current-generation Roku 2 is $69 on Ebony Friday, so we're amazed to see Best purchase providing it for $9 less. Even better, $60 is a $20 fall using this media player's existing lowest price.
Although we don't usually seek bargains on appliances from ideal Buy's Black Friday product sales, this Whirlpool French home fridge is a truly, excellent offer. At $1, 000, it's not only $500 under the current cheapest price for this model, but it is in addition the least expensive Whirlpool French door fridge we've ever seen.
This doorbuster seems like a steal initially. It's $80 under the present price-low, and $49 below our latest reference to new device. However, most useful Buy shortly offered this iPad for $20 less in-may, so we know the retailer can perform much better than $300. It's a great deal if you're able to get one, but we don't suggest waiting when you look at the cold simply to case one of these brilliant old iPads.
Sorry Best Buy, but Walmart is the place to get an iPhone 5C on Ebony Friday. Not merely does Walmart's $45 cost overcome aside Best purchase by $3, however the Walmart will even bundle it with a $75 present card — producing the initial for-profit Ebony Friday phone bargain we've seen in 2010. Better chance the following year, Best purchase.
Paying just $1, 100 for a Haswell-equipped MacBook Pro with Retina isn't also shabby, because it's at the very least $189 underneath the most useful existing price we could find and about 15% under exactly what Apple charges. But we predicted that we'd see to 20percent off from authorized Apple merchants on Ebony Friday, so odds are great that you can get a MacBook like this one for less.

Harry Hotdog never believed the myths and legends told of the Dead Man�s Curse Saloon. He thought it was just a good way to draw the crowds. They also serve the best darn whiskey in all the territory and more importantly, let him run a tab. It�s a crying shame that it turns out the stories were true. Underneath the saloon, a whole mob of pirates were buried, and they�ve come back to life. Hungry for brains and thirsty for rum. But Harry Hotdog ain�t giving up his favourite watering hole without a fight.... Fight with Harry Hotdog in a arcade shoot em� up including two game modes to play: Story and Multiplayer Battle. Story mode introduces the first chapter of this epic fight for survival: �The Quick and The Undead.� There are 32 stages of fast and furious shoot �em up fun. As well as your trusty six-shooter, you�ll find a host of different weapons to take down the relentless dead. These include the spinning fury of the saw-disc-gun and the ever faithful boom-stick. Collect loot and search for treasure to buy upgrades to your stats and weapons. Multiplayer Battles allows you to compete against up to 5 online players to see who�s the meanest zombie pirate slayer in town. There are 3 different challenge modes, 8 different arenas and 3 levels of difficulty depending on how lily-livered you are! Special pick-ups are available which can really mess up the opposition. The best gunslingers get to improve their stats and work their way up on the global high scores list.

Tonight it is all cheers for a group of hard working fire fighters and emergency service workers who came to the rescue today. It is one of the biggest fears for all pet owners in the winter and it happens more often than we care to think about, a pet or any animal for that fact ending up out on ice in the middle of water. It is upsetting just to think about much less witness. Fortunately for these two wandering buddies there were some quick thinking folks who called for help before this story could end badly.
According to a press release from the Esopus Fire Department it was around 3 pm on Thursday, February 7th when they were notified that there were 2 dogs stuck on ice in the Hudson River in the area of Parker Ave. When they arrive to the scene it was confirmed that the dogs were trapped out in the river on the ice without access to reach them from land.
At that time Esopus Fire, Rifton Fire with their ice rescue team and the Town of Esopus Volunteer Ambulance Squad were sent to the scene to assist in the rescue. It took approximately ten minute, but the Esopus Firefighters were able to rescue the dogs who were then taken to the SPCA for a health check. Once cleared they were then reunited with their family.
This story has a happy ending thanks to the the Esopus Firefighters who were assisted by the Town of Esopus Volunteer Ambulance Squad, Rifton Fire Department and Ulster County Emergency Services.
If you see an animal in distress place a call and wait for help before attempting to help on your own. Ice melting on ponds, lakes and rivers can be very dangerous to cross. Cold water rescues are extremely dangerous. Always call for help.


Commentary reads: "my life was planned out by God, and settled, before I began to be."
I am in a dark hospital room right now listening to my dad's labored breathing...his occasional moaning when he whispers "I don't feel good". This is hard to hear.
He is a man that worked harder perhaps then anyone else I know, often working 2 jobs followed by helping with grandpas farming. He cared for us.
I remember the times he refused to budge on what he believed was best for me not allowing me to attend an event so that I could work, my response at least once was to hide in the cornfield.
I remember hearing him calling for me to come home, probably scared I'd run away, when I was actually only a few rows deep.
I remember after arguing with my mom one day he told me she cried herself to sleep, that was all he had to say to get deep remorse from me even as a teen.
I remember the time he tried to teach us kids never to play with firecrackers and it blew up in his face.
We never played with firecrackers.
I remember him trying to fix cars himself to save money and at least once it exploded from wires crossed or gas exposed.
I remember hearing his dumb beagles howling when storms were coming and people borrowing them to hunt raving about the quality of those dogs.
I remember he and mom deciding to put my sister and I in private Christian education even though they didn't have the money.
Before the application reached the school, someone donated money in our names to pay our tuition - I learned to step out in faith.
I remember being the last family out of the church building every single week after cleaning following services.
Last weekend at Crossroads my hubby and I turned out the lights.
I remember my whole life watching how much he loved my mom.
My hubby and I celebrate 38 years in September.
It appears that His Lord may be calling to him soon to end his journey based on the condition of his heart following an apparent heart attack yesterday.
I'm not ready to lose my dad even though he's had 87 years here on earth. Losing someone I love always makes me take a hard look at myself - not fun.
Beginning to say goodbye makes me have to wonder, can people look at my life and understand exactly why God needed to create me?
Praying for you and your family Lori. This is a beautiful tribute and recollection.
It's not saying goodbye Lori, it's until we meet again. I don't want to lose your dad either. The best father-in-law a girl could have. I was hoping that your parents would never died in my life time but I know that is selfish human nature. When I married John I was truly blessed in many ways. Your dad is a great man and God is calling him home. He will be in better hands, then ours.

SAN ANTONIO — The Toyota plant that will be built and open for production here in approximately one year deserves special attention from the labor movement and the auto workers union.
The United Auto Workers organized nearly all of the industry in the 1930s, but has seen major slippage since imports began eating away at the U.S auto market in the 1960s. Given that Ford Motor Co. and General Motors, two of this country's "Big Three" auto producers, reported a drop in annual new car purchases, Toyota's plans to build full-sized pickups at a non-union plant in Texas may be a particularly difficult sign of the times. The UAW has organized very few Asian-owned car plants, with the exception of Mitsubishi, which has been reported in big financial trouble.
The Texas car market, and particularly the giant pickup market, has been Big Three country even while other parts of the country have embraced high-quality Asian products. Asian brands were reported to have increased U.S. market share and posted a combined 7 percent rise in U.S. sales last month. The traditional Big Three saw sales fall 1 percent.
In early March, Toyota managers said they were anticipating 10,000 applications for 2,000 positions, including office workers. Toyota did not reveal the number of applications actually submitted, but a Dallas paper put the number at 100,000. That could make it relatively simple for potential union members to be culled out.
Sadly, telephone information reports no UAW office in San Antonio. Community groups, who might be of great help in an organizing drive, report no contacts.
In 2003, Ford Motor Co. was replaced by Toyota as the world's second largest automaker. Given that Toyota plans to have 15 percent of the global market share by 2010, it's not beyond the realm of possibilities that it could replace GM as number one.
Critics of the Big Three, including union members, have been saying for years that the extra-large, high-profit margin autos produced by the Big Three will eventually get their comeuppance from smaller, simpler foreign automobiles. Environmentalists were particularly miffed when the Big Three, followed by the union, successfully opposed legislation that would have clamped down on auto emissions.
It should be noted that although Toyota owes a significant amount of its sales and popularity to its relatively environmentally friendly standards, the Tundra pickups to be produced in 2006 will not be hybrids by a long shot.
San Antonians have very little experience with any car manufacturer or auto union, but they care about trends in wages and benefits. Consequently, it makes sense that they will back the United Auto Workers when an organizing drive gets started.

Q: Instance is still accessible via public DNS but has a "stopped" state in my dashboard I created a few micro Amazon Linux instances a week ago for learning and test purposes.  Logged-in via WinSCP and PUtty.  Terminated all but one and "stopped" the one test instance I created.
I started to play with EC2 instances again today and inserted the public DNS from my notes (ec2-50-17-13-137.compute-1.amazonaws.com) into a browser and got this:
"Congratulations! Your AWS Elastic Beanstalk PHP application is now running on your own dedicated environment in the AWS Cloud"
However, when I go to my AWS dashboard, my test instance is in a "stopped" state and I have no Beanstalk applications running in my dashboard.
When I "started" my one remaining test EC2 instance, the public DNS displayed there is different.
Any suggestions for how I can backtrack to figure out why this instance is still running?  My usage reports are okay, but I'm confused about this instance that should not be running.

A: When an Amazon Web Services (AWS) Elastic Compute (EC2) instance is stopped, Amazon will typically re-assign the public DNS name assigned to that instance.  In this particular case, the default landing page was unchanged by the new instance/DNS user which caused the identical DNS name (ec2-50-17-13-137.compute-1.amazonaws.com) to appear to be from the original instance referenced in this question.
So when a user "stops" then "starts" an instance in the AWS EC2 control panel, unless an elastic IP has been assigned to that instance, then the user must use the newly assigned Amazon public DNS to access the restarted instance.

I have been a woodworking craftsman for over thirty years. My passion for woodworking started with my grandfather in his basement shop, learning basic hand tool and machine techniques. I have developed and continue to improve my skills by attending woodworking events, reading books and magazines, and then applying what I learn in my studio. I have utilized my operations background to establish a world class woodworking studio with state of the art equipment and efficient fabrication techniques. Since my studio is based at my home, I offer exceptional value and excellent customer service.
Tom is excited to be adding his voice to the social conversation about wood craftsmanship.
Come visit this space for thoughts on woodworking design and technique from award-winning from this award-winning master craftsman.
Tom's work is exceptional. The detail and craftsmanship in unsurpassed! I have seen his work up close and believe me, it is impressive!
Thank you Lu, I appreciate your kind words!
Tom you truly are a fantastic craftsman. You work is impeccable. We are all so proud of you.
Love you Aunt Virg, thank you!
Thank you Gigi, more to come!
Hey Natalie, thank you so much. A very Happy Thanksgiving to you, Samuel and your family!


We've made our way up to Tucson and settled in at Davis Monthan AFB. We plan on being here for a few days or so before we head home.
Davis Monthan AFB has to be one of the nicest military bases in the country. It has a resort style camping area that has won "campground of the year" award many times and is always in the top running, probably one the top three, out of over 200 military camp and recreational sites in the United States each year. There are 198 sites; most are pull-through sites with full hookups: electric, water and sewer. The commissary is to die for with some of the nicest produce I ever seen and the Base Exchange is huge.
Our second night here they had a Valentine's Day dance for the RVer's. About 150 or more showed up ready to party: They served heavy hors d' oeuvres; a live deejay was on station, and door prizes to boot, all for $2 a person. The appetizers were something else: Swedish meatballs the size of tennis balls, chicken strips, ham, turkey, rolls, cold meats, vegetable and cheese trays, assorted fruit, and of course, chocolate. Did I mention $2 a person? There is also free coffee and YFI in the office 24/7. I like this free thing a lot.
The base has been in operation since 1925 and started out as a big open desert field. It was named in honor of World War I pilots Lieutenants Samuel Davis and Oscar Monthan both Tucson natives. The base is also called the "Bone Yard" and used for storage of thousands of aircraft that could be re-activated if needed.
The bone yard… There's More.
Happy hour starts the minute I get up… February and in the 80s today. See what I mean???

We visited the Old Tucson Studios, about a 15 mile drive from downtown Tucson for something to do. Originally built in 1938 for the movie Arizona, starring William Holden and Jean Arthur, workers built more than 50 buildings in 40 days for the movie set. Many of those same structures are still standing today.
After the movie Arizona the filming of The Bells of St. Mary's in 1945, starring Bing Crosby and Ingrid Bergman was one of more than 300 movies, westerns and TV shows that were filmed there including The Last Round-Up (1947) with Gene Autry and Winchester '73 (1950) with James Stewart and The Last Outpost with Ronald Reagan. The 1950s saw the filming of Gunfight at the O.K. Corral (1957), The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold (1958), and Cimarron (1959) among many others.

We are on the move again. We spent the night in Fort Stockton and saw one of the most beautiful sunsets I have ever seen. The next morning we headed out early with nothing but road and open road in front of us not knowing exactly where we were going. An hour and a half out I noticed a ABS COMM FAILURE warning on the systems computer followed by TRANS COMM FAILURE warning. Then the Coup de grace – ENGINE COMM FAILURE. We lost all power doing 70mph in a 22,000 pound tin box! I managed to get over to the side of the highway and out of harms way. There we sat looking at each other. What happened? Not in those exact words but you get the idea. After several minutes of just sitting there doing nothing, I tried to restart the engine. The gages, there are many, were jumping back and forth kind of saying pick me, pick me. Nothing, no turn over, no nothing. Luckily I took out special insurance for RVs and called Coach-Net. I called them and they asked if we were safe (yes) and where we were. Where am I? I'm in the middle of the F-ing desert with nothing but open spaces as far as the eye can see and I'm damn lucky I have a cell signal because over the next ridge there isn't any. After a lively discussion that was being recorded for quality assurance, we figured out where we were. I was told then that there would be a tow truck out in 2 to 4 hours. What? You're kidding, right? I have a life! The clock is ticking. It's the forth quarter and no time outs. After venting, the operator said they would do their best to get someone out ASAP. Yeah, right.
So now what? Good question. I decided to fire up the hot spot and get on line and ask on a reliable RV network web site if anyone had experienced this type of problem before. It didn't take long before I started getting recommendations from a number of people. Everyone thought it was probably the alternator not supplying power to the electrical system. Two people recommended wedging something up under the battery booster control button drawing power from the house batteries and by-passing the alternator altogether. We had been sitting there for about four hours and had not even seen a highway patrol car or anything.
Coach Net called and said a tow truck was on its way and they were about 120 miles away en route. Okay, what in the hell can I wedge up under this booster thing and see if I can start this bad boy? I took a thick piece of cardboard and folded it over and proceeded to jam it under the booster control button. I then turned on the ignition and KABOOM! The engine started and came to life as if nothing had happened.
There is a lot more to the story but I'll summarize it to give you an idea as to the end results and perhaps fill in the details at a later time. The nearest Cummins dealer was 170 miles away. We spent two days in their parking lot. I had a complete service done and they spent 12 hours trouble shooting to find the problem. It turned out to be a loose wire in the ignition system cable. All is well and we are once again happy campers on the road of life – the end.

Just a short update: We ran into Progreso, Mexico, to say we've "been there, done that". Progreso is a typical Mexican boarder town with plenty of poor kids begging for anything they can get their hands on. The streets are crowded with vendors selling typical junk unless you are there for prescriptions, dental work or eye glasses. A lot of retirees swear by the savings and dental work done there but personally I'll play it safe and stay within the U.S. for anything that I need regarding my health. After lunch we headed back across the notorious Rio Grande River and headed home.
On Thursday the resort had an open house and lunch, a wonderful brisket of beef sandwich that our neighbors cooked for twelve hours. The open house is an opportunity for a lot or homeowners to show off their decorative and design skills. It's also an opportunity to sell your lot or home if you are so inclined. One couple sold EVERYTHING all at once: RV lot, motor home and tow vehicle. They are having a house built here and will live in one of the rental casitas for three or so months while their new home is being built. RV lots go anywhere from $48,000 to $120,000 depending on the size of the bunkhouse or casitas and what was done to it. The coach houses go for about $220,000 or so.
Weather is great here, around 74 yesterday and 81 today. I have to admit I feel sorry for those poor souls up north and the Midwest. Buuurrr… Glad I'm not there.
Retirees come for cheap meds, eye glasses and dental work. Personally I'll do my shopping in the U.S.
Olive trees in the back.

We arrived in Mission, Texas, and have joined thousands of "Winter Texans" from across the U.S. and Canada. The draw here is the weather. The area is a tropical, sunny area situated along the Rio Grand River, bordering Mexico with an average winter temperature of 76 degrees. There are over 300 RV parks in the region to accommodate all of us old retired types. The city is the "home of the Ruby Red Grapefruit" commonly grown in the area. Vegetables and fruit are grown here year round because of the rich soil and warm climate.
We are staying at the Retama Village, a luxury RV, age-restricted community with a mixture of deeded RV lots, "port houses" with attached RV ports or garages, and single family winter homes, not to mention three heated pools, fitness center, craft center, outdoor kitchen, lounge, library, billiards room, game rooms theater, laundry and much more. Lot owners rent their lots out when not in use. The owner of the lot we are renting owns 3 lots and uses the income to support his retirement life style. Not a bad idea considering the problems renting a house out. Not a lot can go wrong and not a lot to worry about renting out a lot. That's a lot of lots in one sentence…We'll be here through February and then have to move down the road to another RV resort.
Tom Landry, the former coach of the Dallas Cowboys, was born and raised, and played high school football here in Mission. Landry was one of the great all-time coaches in football.
We ran over to South Padre Island the day before yesterday for a quick visit and had lunch at a place called Dirty Al's. The restaurant is right on the Gulf of Mexico, and Dirty Al and crew go out each day and catch all their own sea food which is sold to large crowds of loyal customers from near and far.
South Padre Island is a high rise strip of hotels and condominiums surrounded by beautiful beaches. Not sure I'd want to be here during Spring Break.
Called a coach house or carport with an attitude.
Padre Island is 113 miles long. Long Island in NY is longer.
The sign on the door says "Sorry we are open". What?

We headed up to Horseshoe Bay on LBJ Lake to explore the area before we head south to Mission. The lake is huge, almost 7,000 acres and about 90 feet deep. Its man made, a Corps of Engineers damn project built back in the 50's and is feed from the Colorado River. Horseshoe Bay is a resort town with a population of about 6,000 in the off season. During the summer months the town doubles in size with Texans from around the state. The Marriott has a plush resort and spa in the heart of town. Bring your wallet if you come. We stayed at a place called Sunset RV Resort right on the lake. The weather was not pleasant but the skies were clear and the view gorgeous.
We were fairly close to Austin and decided to take a look at the Del Webb's retirement community Texas style. We hear about this community from friends and decided to take a look. I've never been a big fan of Del Webb's construction so the home models did nothing for us but the landscape and facilities in the resort were first-class.
I think we'll be back up this way in February sometime and would like to spend a little more time exploring Horseshoe Bay and the surrounding area.
A realtor told us waterfront comes in three sizes: canal, bay, and lakefront. Lakefront being the most expensive.
I could do this if I could afford it… We actually went to a open house and then figured FORGETABOUTIT!

Christmas has come and gone and we are now looking forward to New Years Eve here with a dinner show and live band to bring in the New Year. We passed on the Christmas pot-luck dinner and opted for one of the red heads fabulous dinners with all the trimmings.
Our next posting will be from our new digs in Mission, Texas, once we get settled in and organized. Happy New Year to all . . .

Olivia Descampe's Cut-Out Dreams Exhibition
Olivia Descampe's passion for art came at an early age, as her mother was a fanatic art collector, she was constantly surrounded by art and inspiration. She studied interior architecture and product design but after moving to Berlin at the age of 26, it was there that she discovered her talent for collages.
It all started with a pile of National Geographic magazines from the sixties bought at the little shop around the corner. She found a certain peace in searching for the right images, and shortly after if became clear she wanted to push this further. To decompose images and combine them together to create something new, something different, something surreal, is what she would do from then and now on.
Most of Olivia's work is made quite impulsively. What takes most of her time but also what she enjoys the most, is searching for new images and then cutting them to create her infinite palette of textures and colours to choose from.
Opening: Thursday 1st Dec / 6-9pm
Usual gallery hours: Tues to Sat / 12-7pm
Location: 1963 gallery space, 129a Kingsland High Street, London, E8 2PB .

Ugo Gattoni & Mcbess / Sweetbread
Sweetbread is the result of a week of artistic residency with Ugo Gattoni and Mcbess at the URDLA print shop, located in Villeurbanne. For seven days, the two artist friends ate together, drew together, cooked together, laughed together, and created this stone lithography entitled Sweetbread. This residency was the occasion for Ugo Gattoni and Mcbess to immerse themselves and experience one of the major themes of their illustrations - food.

Ben Eine 3D limited edition sculptures
We all know Ben Eine as the man who loves letters, those slanty, straight or curvy characters that permeate our world, our consciousness, on which modern civilisation is partly built. Letters have clout – artistically, culturally, politically, historically. And while you may or may not have noticed that Eine's alphabet canvases sometimes omit the letter 'W' – their grid layout leaving no room for odd numbers – this exclusive second sculpture release from the artist, produced by Fluorescent Smogg, proves that there's no love lost.
'The Missing Letter', hand-cast in concrete and available in four colourways and one seductive special edition, lavishes attention on the alphabet's 23rd character – a symmetrical symbol that is both aesthetically and phonetically pleasing, that's admirable for reasons beyond being the chemical element sign for tungsten and the only letter name with more than one syllable. Stand back, take stock: the letter 'W' just always looks good.
So now is your chance to place one in your collection. It may be the Ancient Greeks, the Romans or the Phoenicians we have to thank for creating the alphabet and bringing us the letter 'W' in the first place, but Ben Eine now brings it to bold, brilliant, three-dimensional new life. And while his first 'E' sculpture release of 2013 sold out pretty much instantly, this accolade to character 23 – in editions of just 10 for each colourway – is likely to follow suit.
Ben Eine x Fluorescent Smogg "The Missing Letter" cast concrete sculpture edition. On Sale Thursday 13th October online from FluorescentSmogg.

SAVE YOURSELVES Exhibition in Hackney Wick
They say home is where the heart is, but in Stour Spaces case, home is where the art is. Well this may have been the case a while back in Hackney Wick, but these days the sights of cranes, bulldozers, developers and hoardings seem to have replaced the now lesser spotted artist.
This October 14th at Stour Space, Aida Wilde (Aida & The Glorious House of Brag) will once again assemble the 'Lunatics' from the recent takeover of the Lord Napier pub (Hackney Wicked 2016), bringing you an immersive, visual and historical experience. By sharing personal photos and archival images and footage with us, the local people of The Wick, Hackney WickED and Save Hackney Wick have contributed to what promises not to be just another gallery show but an insight into this unique community past and present.
For at least a decade, the urban art landscape of the Wick has shaped and developed the aesthetic of this unique pocket of East London. Save Yourselves celebrates the art and the artists who have personal and emotional connections to the area. Many of these artists have gone on to become some of the most prolific street artists of our time. As most buildings are doomed for demolition, subsequently so is the rich heritage of urban art in East London. Is there now anything left to Save, apart from Ourselves?
Join Stour Space to commiserate, commemorate and celebrate what has been, is, and might be, from a community in mourning.

Distorted Reality - London debut of street artist Alaniz
DISTORTED REALITY will be an intimate exploration of culture and humanity. It is the personal research of a traveller. Discovering the human nature, society and the world - it will question our concept of reality and try to explore what influences it.
From the moment we are born, we are constantly learning and remembering things we see and hear. We are sent to school, where the educational systems are based on archaic archetypes set up by ancient and outdated intuitions. This information we receive is what defines our concept of reality. Education is the first, it is there to lay down the foundations and then as grow older religion, politics and the media come into play – altering the population's vision of life.
The term 'reality distortion field' (RDF) was used by Bud Tribble in 1981 to describe Steve Job's charisma and the effects it had on his employees. A mixture of charm, charisma, bravado, marketing and persistence, he had the ability to convince others and even himself to believe almost anything. This ingenious recipe is used by many people of power with politians being the prime example.
It is through our own life experiences that we can begin to understand the real world we live in, and try to dissociate between what is told to be true, and what in reality is the truth. Unfortunately, more often than not, instead of finding the answers for ourselves we choose to buy them from our closest reality dealer without even questioning the source of this packaged view of the world.
Many of these concepts of existence, manipulated by systems of power, are no more than old paradigms of what life is thought to be. But over time as the truth manifests and the collective conscious becomes aware, we begin to observe the actual situation of our planet, and can try to comprehend the perishable nature of these ancient conceptions.
In this exhibition Alaniz paints his distorted vision of our reality, based on his experience collected during his journey through different lands and cultures. He uses mostly his own photographs as reference for his paintings, extracting certain parts of information from the original and producing a rearranged version of them. His intention is not the aim of manipulation but to reflect on the personal state of humanity as one single entity.
Exhibition opens 14th September 2016.

Oculus by Pyramid Oracle at BSMT Space in Dalston, London
'OCULUS' by @pyramidoracle showcases a collection of intricate and symbolic works that examine the dimensions of human spirit, and the complex world that it inhabits.
In a world where everything is recycled... nothing is new under the sun. With all things constantly being repurposed there is no originality. Only that which is authentic. By exploring the metaphysical, it seeks to capture the often imperceptible geometric systems that permeate through all of nature. And revisit venerable means of understanding the great mysterious architecture of the universe.
Exhibition runs from the 18 August - 24 August.

Nick JS Thompson - Relics Exhibition At BSMT Space
In Nick JS Thompson's first visit to his grandparents house since his grandfather passed away and his grandmother moved into care, he became aware of the character of the space where once personality had been the focus.
Documented in black and white the images are stripped of their warmth as if something is missing. Without the characters that previously inhabited it, the space itself becomes a gallery for relics that are left behind, and we are given an insight into these characters.
These stark images in a once loving environment show the inability of the artist to reconcile his emotional response to memory and loss.
The scene presented is relatable to anyone who has lost family members, and as such the artist's personal journey becomes a universal experience.
Thompson's works are known for being strikingly austere, and with this work being his most personal to date the impartiality in which he sees the objects before him is left open to debate.

Darker Shades of White - Normski Talk and Zine Launch
YOUTH CLUB in conjunction with Doomed Gallery celebrates this zine launch with 'Darker Shades of White', a one-off talk by renowned urban & hip-hop photographer Normski. Discussing the progression of his extensive archive from shooting London family life to documenting the emergence of hip-hop itself, 'Darker Shades of White' harks back to the very foundations of urban street culture in the UK during the 1980s. Working with YOUTH CLUB, Normski will produce a limited edition 40 page zine available for sale on the night.
'Darker Shades of White' is a previously unseen insight into the early days of Normski's journey before his career as a TV and Radio presenter, notably as the presenter for BBC's Dance Energy. Having photographed a distinct range of worldwide musicians such as Run DMC, Barry White and Dr Dre, he adopted the nickname 'Normski' whilst on a trip to New York. Through his involvement in music he gained his reputation as a leading authority on urban and contemporary culture, leading him to photograph hip-hop artists and fashion movements for publications like The Face, i-D and Vogue.
Youth Club are proud to launch this exclusive and intimate edit of Normski's iconic photographs complimented by the very experiences that forged them.

'Situ' Exhibiton by guyandherbert At Book Club London
'Situ' is the first solo exhibition from creative duo guyandherbert.
guyandherbert use the camera as a tool to capture thought-provoking imagery. Presenting expressions based upon their reactions and thoughts influenced by the world around them, they create the surreal in the everyday.
They create dreamlike, raw and playful images, using the environment around them to portray their vision.Traditional and basic techniques are used to capture unusual situations in front of the lens. Location, lighting, props,and actors are some of the key ingredients that go into creating their images. Capturing the moment when it happens, rather than relying upon the comfort of post production - techniques inspired by designers and photographers such as Storm Thorgerson and Gregory Crewdson.
The ongoing 'Situational Masks' series encourages the viewer to immerse themselves in a mix of obvious every day situations and interrelated environments mixed with a colourful palette of ingredients. It asks the viewer to personally conjure up their own unique story and outcome for the subject matter as bold colour and mystery lure in and intrigue us.
As well as the 'Situational masks', there's a selection of their striking album artwork pieces on display. Both Guy and Herbert have been involved in a variety of projects and different roles within a broad spectrum of the creative industry. This has heavily influenced their style and approach to their art. Defying design trends, modern technology, and unmotivated by profit, they have developed a cloak and dagger style approach to design. Passion NOT fashion.
The exhibition has been directed and curated by Liat Chen
Exhibition Launch: Weds 17th August 6pm - midnight
Exhibition run until Sunday 16th October 2016

Stolen Space Gallery Present 'Going Against The Grain' with OKER
StolenSpace is very proud to present 'Going Against The Grain' the inaugural solo show by one of the most prolific writers of the London graffiti scene, OKER.
OKER has been painting for over 20 years. His throw-ups were all over South London, and with trains running across the city, he has made an incredible contribution to the London scene, influencing many of the younger generation of writers throughout the years. He is one of the very few graffiti writers in England who can call themselves 'all city', having been up in every area of London.
OKER claims he turned to graffiti as a form of self medication in his difficult early teenage years. When he walked along the tracks with other like minds, no one was interested in his personal life, this world was purely about him as a graffiti artist, as 'OKER'.
After a short spell of living in New York and building relationships with the Kings of New York, he then returned to London bringing NYC's bombing style with him, gaining the respect from artists such as Eine, Barry McGee, KR and Banksy to name a few…
In 2000 he was sentenced for graffiti and again in 2013 for 2 years for painting on trains. This lead him to rethink his practice, 'Going Against The Grain' shows not only OKER's artistic development, but also a development in the way he thinks about his art and an important step in his artistic practice. He can now safely move forward without the worry of being arrested on his opening night. He's served his time, and this inaugural solo show will show how far he has come.
Stolen Space Gallery, 17 Osborn Street, London, E1 6TD.
The exhibition opens with a private view on the 4th August from 6 - 9pm, the exhibition will continue at the space until the 28th August 2016.

Kaleidoscope Exhibtion At Fold Gallery, London
FOLD is pleased to present a show that will bring a short, sharp shock of colour to the holiday season.
In Kaleidoscope they are presented with seven artists whose practices tackle intense colour in radically different ways. The use of Colour can be approached in an arbitrary manner but artistic development can only occur when the many variables are controlled and understood. Each of the artists shown here have developed their own inherent sense of the 'right' colour choice. From monochromatic coolness to explosive rainbow-like palettes, they each present a unique vision of how to liberate colour to stimulate and energise the viewer.
Curated by Dominic Beattie
FOLD, 158 New Cavendish St, London W1W 6YW.

Yann Le Bec, Launch Party At KK Outlet, Hoxton
Yann Le Bec's exhibition, Dog Days is a collection of new paintings that play out like the stills from a French thriller. Yann's monochromatic paintings depict seemingly innocuous scenes, many from the French countryside; a naked torso moist with perspiration, a lone walker on an isolated road, a swimmer and a man looking through trees.
Beneath the surface of this postcard-like scenery there is a slight feeling of unease, a sense of longing and in some scenes fear. Why is the swimmer reaching for a knife? What is the sad figure on the bed contemplating? Will the girl make it out of the way of the car coming round the bend?!
Come down to the launch at KK Outlet and find out...

The Coningsby Gallery presents H.Y.T. Studio: 'Business or pleasure'
The Coningsby Gallery is proud to present a solo exhibition of H.Y.T. studio entitled 'Business or Pleasure'.
H.Y.T. studio will present a new body of work produced over the past months. Featuring a series of bold, colourful paintings. The exhibition addresses the tensions between a commercially focused style and a personal uninhibited approach.
The artist has used unwanted elements from commercial projects to create bold, semi-abstract paintings. "Most of the graphics and illustrations I make are unused. This is not to say they are 'not good enough' rather they have been deemed inappropriate for a specific task". The rejected elements have been repurposed, organised and overlaid subtly with established corporate motifs. The result is a series of paintings that are visually busy but simple, displaying techniques that are between illustration and design. Stylistic illustration and corporate iconography are objectified to exist in a gallery context, challenging our perceptions of function and purpose, existing in the space between 'Business or Pleasure'.
H.Y.T. is the illustration and graphic design studio of artist John Slade and operates between London and Ireland. He graduated from the Limerick School of Art and Design in 2000. He has participated in exhibitions and been published in a wide variety of publications.
Exhibition Opens: Monday 9th May to Saturday 22nd May 2016
Private View: Thursday 12th May, 6.00pm - 8.30pm

KAWS first UK museum show at Yorkshire Sculpture Park
KAWS, one of street art's favourite artists, who has previously collaborated with Pharrell, Kate Moss and Kanye West, is about to open his first-ever UK museum exhibition.
Yorkshire Sculpture Park (YSP) will present the exhibition by KAWS, the renowned American artist, whose practice includes painting, sculpture, printmaking and design. The exhibition, in the expansive Longside Gallery and open air, features over 20 works: commanding sculptures in bronze, fibreglass, aluminium and wood alongside large, bright canvases immaculately rendered in acrylic paint – some created especially for the exhibition. The Park's historically designed landscape becomes home to a series of monumental and imposing sculptures, including a new six-metre-tall work, which take KAWS's idiosyncratic form of almost-recognisable characters in the process of growing up.
Brooklyn-based KAWS is considered one of the most relevant artists of his generation. His influential work engages people across the generations with contemporary art and especially opens popular culture to young and diverse audiences.
A dynamic cultural force across art, music and fashion, KAWS's work possesses a wry humour with a singular vernacular marked by bold gestures and fastidious production. KAWS absorbs popular imagery to produce works that are semi-familiar, with layers of contradictions and subtleties. Outdoors, with their outsize and monumental proportions, KAWS's sculptures bring to mind dystopian cartoon characters; recognisable personalities from childhood who appear to have lost their innocence. Against the Park's tree line, the group of six works in natural and black-stained wood, measuring between six and 10 metres in height, are simultaneously spectacular and plaintive. Once bright, iconic characters are rendered in disheartened, world-weary poses; imposing yet full of pathos, they point to an array of psychological narratives, suggesting compassion, surprise and despair.
The artist has also made a series of five paintings especially for the exhibition. Each measuring 112 x 92 inches, they will span the largest wall of the spacious gallery, creating a swathe of brilliant colour and complex energy. Constructed with painstaking attention to detail, the abstracted forms overlay and interweave, forming shadows and deepening space to reveal a slinking, enigmatic figure.

Neo-Victorian Maximalism Exhibition by Fiftyseven AKA Steve Mitchell
'Neo-Victorian Maximalism' is the first solo show from Fiftyseven, the pseudonym of London based illustrator, typographer and graphic designer Steve Mitchell.
Fiftyseven's unique style is built from a dizzying mix of decoration, pattern and symmetry and typography, an overload of quasi-religious, occult and masonic symbolism and anything else that fits. Working with a restricted colour palette and especially favouring metallic inks, his screenprints are usually based around a simple visual concept, revealing more and more detail the closer you look.
Fiftyseven developed the illustration style he calls Neo-Victorian Maximalism when a love of 19th century typography led to designing flyers for steampunk events. From there came the desire to "push the aesthetic as far as it could go, to the point of absurdity". He'd like to say he's inspired by the whole history of art and design, but really it's mostly just heavy metal album covers... further influences include Ian Miller's intense Tolkien art, the book illustrations of Harry Clarke and (of course) the wood engravings of Gustave Doré.
Exhibition Launch, Weds 10th February 6-12
The Book Club , 100-106 Leonard Street, London, EC2A 4RH

Synergy : Lee Jeffries & Jef Aerosol Exhibition
'Synergy' is an artistic and social encounter between street artist Jef Aérosol and photographer Lee Jeffries.
Stemming from the original 'Synergy' exhibition that took place in Paris at Mathgoth gallery in March 2015, this collaboration casts a new light on a sensitive topic: the homeless.
The artistic chemistry was sparked when the two artists first met in London, early 2014. Mesmerized by Lee Jeffries' portraits of homeless people, Jef Aérosol contacted the photographer when they immediately decided to combine their work. They both felt the urge to explore and share with the public their vision of this universal issue. Together, they explore faces and confront techniques to give another life to the forgotten of the streets.
The result is an incredibly harmonious project. Lee Jeffries' powerful yet delicate portraits lend themselves perfectly to stencilling, allowing Jef Aérosol to reinterpret the characters' faces and stories.
The movement given by Jef Aerosol's stencil complements the stillness and gravity of Lee Jeffries' portraits. The detail, the singularity, the strength of the pieces will leave the audience moved and startled. The show features individual works as well as several four-handed pieces, for a combined effect that is truly 'greater than the simple sum of its parts'.

Pam Glew 'Wanderlust Hotel' at Woolff Gallery
Pam Glew, born in 1978, is a well-established, contemporary British artist, best known for her unique bleaching technique on fabric, vintage flags, and handmade vintage quilts. The Woolff Gallery is delighted to present 'Wanderlust Hotel', which is Pam Glew's 4th London solo show, since 2011.
Inspired by the intriguing goings-on in legendary hotels such as New York's Chelsea Hotel and Hotel Marmont in LA, as well as by film-makers such as David Lynch, Glew has created the 'Wanderlust Hotel': a fictional guesthouse frequented by illicit overnight guests, and dark secrets. Populated by characters such as the "weekend" girlfriend, the bride holding a revolver, the maid, the mixologist, the sleeping porter, the receptionist, the Call Girl on a visit to Vegas, as well as the VIP guest, these fictional guests all sweep in and out of the picture frames of this seductive environment.
Playful, self-staged photo shoots make up the majority of the subjects as the artist explores this imaginary world. Glew has invented stories for all the characters in the 'Wanderlust Hotel'. For example in the artwork 'Sisters', Glew explores a meeting of 2 estranged identical twins. One of which is the maid, and one the VIP. An imagined rift is between them as if they have not spoken in years, they both then meet in the hotel room where the maid is cleaning up after her VIP sister, both tension and compassion are apparent in this captivating work.
The element of 'play' is further explored in Glew's miniature 'Wanderlust Hotel' model. Here the hotel is bereft of people as the residents that we have become familiar with are now only present in the tiny re-created versions of the exhibition paintings hanging on the miniature hotel walls, and we further explore the idea of the hotel being an escape, a playground for adults…

Press Play Exhibition with Static
We Like Static's latest collection of layered glass works will be unveiled next week as part of their solo show 'Press Play' at Lawrence Alkin Gallery, London.
The show has been born out of the massively popular Game ON! mural they created for Wood Street Walls in early 2015.
'Press Play' reflects on the sub-culture of gaming and how since its inception in the mid-twentieth century it has carved for itself its own sub-culture and global following, which now has far reaching influences. The new work and exhibition also reflects back on how these early graphics have come to influence and inspire contemporary design.
Featuring images from a host of well-known, iconic, games from both arcade machines and early home entertainment systems such as Tetris, Asteroids, Space Invaders, Super Mario & Pac Man!
To be added to the guest list for the opening night, please RSVP the gallery using the email below, including any guests you wish to attend. The evening will take place on Thursday 14th January from 6 - 9 pm.

Beers London Present Gilded Chaos
Beers London is proud to present Gilded Chaos, the gallery's first solo exhibition with the London-based Benjamin Murphy. Murphy will spend two weeks prior to the exhibition, transforming the entire gallery space with his trademark aesthetic and techniques to create a totally immersive sensory experience. Murphy has created his most labour intensive and detailed body of work especially for Beers gallery. This includes a gallery-wide installation and two-dimensional, 'drawings' that push the boundaries of both scale and subject matter.
Murphy is known primarily for his graphic, time-consuming installations created entirely out of black electrical tape, resulting in a stark recognisable aesthetic. This is borrowed from German expressionism, which in turn creates a subject matter that takes inspiration from Romantic literature and the history of the vanitas in art.
The artist lives in London, where he tirelessly works both in and out of studio to plan and execute elaborate tape-based drawings. Murphy's images work on many plains of perspective and contain various contradictory elements that contain an on-going narrative or macabre. A decadent story-arc is hinted throughout, with the work referencing a range of sources mainly from poetry and classic literature, specifically creating a mystical aura around the work and allowing the spectator to create their own meaning surrounding the work.
Gilded Chaos opens at Beers London on the 14th of January at 6pm.

Yahoo has bought Xobni, which specializes in organizing user address books. Most of Xobni's products will be phased out in a year's time.
Yahoo said Friday that it has bought contact management specialist Xobni for an undisclosed amount, presumably to enhance Yahoo Mail and its related applications.
But as to the future of Xobni's own products--well, that's not exactly clear. Xobni released a FAQ indicating that the company plans to continue supporting its contact management tools for Outlook, but that other platforms may expire on July 2, 2014.
In a sense, that means that Xobni's statements about continuing support could be seen as a bit disingenuous. "Not to worry -- we aren't pulling the rug out from under you. If you're using a Xobni product today, you can keep using it," the Xobni team said in a blog post.
However, Xobni won't be accepting any more premium subscriptions, including Xobni Pro, Xobni Enterprise, Xobni for Teams, the Xobni Salesforce Gadget, and the Xobni JIRA Gadget, the company said. Smartr Contacts for Android and Xobni for BlackBerry are no longer officially available for download, although the Android app will be pulled by the end of the day, the company said.
Xobni said that the Xobni plugin for Outlook, as well as its "premium features," will be extended through July 2, 2014, but that it may release a new version for Outlook at that time. There will be no version for Outlook 2013, the company said.
Xobni Pro for BlackBerry, the Xobni Salesforce Gadget and Xobni JIRA Gadget, Xobni Enterprise, and Xobni for Teams will all be extended for a year's time. Only Xobni for Teams will live on, as part of the Xobni for Outlook platform.
The good news? Smartr Inbox for Gmail and Smartr Contacts for iPhone remain available for download. While downloads may be unavailable at a later date, these products are expected to function normally for existing users through July 2nd, 2014, Xobni said. So grab them now.
The deal means that one of PCWorld's best products of 2011 is now under the Yahoo banner. "The power within every Xobni product is that it responds to how you communicate," Xobni said in its post. "Every day you demonstrate who and what is important to you. That can benefit not just your inbox or smartphone, but the many services you use. Yahoo! gets that, and they want us to use our platform to make many Yahoo! services better for you."
Yahoo linked directly to the Xobni post in its corporate blog, presumably allowing Xobni to speak for itself as well.
Some of Xobni's functionality will live on in rival products. Rapportive, for example, provides some contextual information about contacts, as Smartr does, with photos and recent social activity.
Yahoo has been on a spending spree of late. On Tuesday, Yahoo bought Qwiki, an iPhone app that turns photos and movies stored on the iPhone into a short film, complete with soundtrack. Other recent purchases include Astrid, a to-do app; Summly, a news summarization service; GoPollGo, a social polling tool; and Jybe, a discovery and recommendation startup. And, of course, Yahoo bought blogging powerhouse Tumblr for US$1.1 billion in May.

Q: How to calculate this Delta Dirac Integral? I'm trying to understand the result of this integral.
$$\int_{-\infty}^a\delta(x-b)\,\mathrm dx$$
The book gives me the following answer.
If $a>b$, $1$; If $a<b$, $0$;
I'm not sure but maybe this relation may be applied.

Box 5.1.3. The Dirac delta function satisfies the following relation $$\int_{-\infty}^a\delta(x-b)\,\mathrm dx=\begin{cases}1&\text{if }a<x_0<b,\\0&\text{otherwise,}\end{cases}\tag{5.7}$$
Equation ($5.4$) is a special case of this, because $-\infty<x_0<+\infty$ for any value of $x_0$.

A: We have that $$\int_{\alpha}^{\beta} \delta (x-x_0)dx=\left\{\begin{matrix}
1 & \text{ if } \alpha <x_0<\beta\\
0 & \text{ otherwise }
\end{matrix}\right.$$
and you want to calculate the integral $$\int_{-\infty}^a \delta (x-b)dx$$
For $\alpha=-\infty$, $\beta=a$ and $x_0=b$ we have
$$\int_{-\infty}^{a} \delta (x-b)dx=\left\{\begin{matrix}
1 & \text{ if } -\infty <b<a\\
0 & \text{ otherwise }
\end{matrix}\right.$$
