Metallics have become an increasingly popular choice depending on where your wedding is, using metallic elements can look very natural, elegant or even playful. There are so many possibilities whether you want to add a golden touch to your black tie wedding or create a rustic feel with beautiful copper lanterns. You may even want to give your food a little dust of glitter or create metallic inspired cocktails.
Places that are close to the couple's hearts have also become an interesting and unique theme for weddings. Couples want to share their special moments and places with their friends and family whether it be where they met, where they got engaged or just somewhere they both adore. If the couple for example got engaged in Italy they may want to structure the theme around the country, from décor to food. Italian music could be playing in the venue whilst traditional Italian dishes are served to guests. Whatever you loved the most about that special place you can bring to life in your wedding.
At every wedding, romance is undoubtedly in the air but to really set the mood couples are looking to soft glow lighting. Wedding lights are the perfect way create a special and intimate venue for you and your guests to enjoy. Often coupling draped material from the ceiling and fairy lights will make large rooms seem cosier and more ethereal. Another and perhaps less costly way of doing this is by decorating your venue with candles as opposed to any synthetic lighting for a naturally romantic glow.
Finally, despite for years the classic wedding reception layout being large circular tables throughout the room, couples are now taking a different approach. Spreading everyone out across the room on these large tables seems so impersonal so instead people are opting in for long banquet tables or square tables to create a more unique and intimate aesthetic. Some even think that dining tables at venues are a little outdated and too formal so instead are using the space to create a more relaxed cocktail lounge vibe with comfortable seating.

Black Dog Newsletter for Week Ending January 6th
December 30, 2013 /0 Comments/in Newsletter/by Darren
This is it. The last newsletter. For the year. But fear not, we'll be back to celebrate and mock films and life and hobos and whatever else we may come across in the year 2014. I hope that everyone had a swell 2013. Or at least the end portion of this year. I hope that it ended better for you than it did for us. I hope that there were less rocks thrown through your windows early Christmas morning than us. Yes, that's right, some son-of-a-grinch chucked a huge rock through the window of our Commercial location. My sprog, Swanson, answered the phone at 6:30 am (he'd been awake since four because Christmas) to tell the police that he couldn't wake me up because we had a plan that we wouldn't get up until 7:30 to open the gifts. I ambled down to the store, still a bit drunk from making merry on Christmas Eve to chat with the Heat and view the damage. Yep, there was a big hole in the window with a huge rock laying on the floor. We slapped up some plywood (thanks, Garn!) and then had the window replaced the next day. Of course insurance didn't cover the cost. I love insurance! Anyways, it was a shitty thing to have happen but in the big scheme of things, it's not all that big of a deal.
We're open noon until 8 New Year's Eve if you need/want to drop in and grab some flicks to celebrate the passing of 2013 and the birth of 2014. We're also open New Year's Day noon until 11pm to provide you with all of your hangover film needs. What's your favourite go-to film for that type of occasion?
There's only a couple of films released over the past two weeks so we're going to start our staff picks for best of the year today!
Don Jon – Joseph Levitt-Gordon, or Gordon Joseph-Levitt writes, stars and directs this romantic comedy about a studly ladies-man that's addicted to internet porn. Then he meets Scarlett Johansson. Might she be able to divorce him from his right hand and have him see her as a potential mate? I think that what this film is about anyways. Also on the Blu Ray.
Insidious 2 – More insidiousness from James Wan and some ghosts and a skinny Rose Byrne and a perplexed Patrick Wilson. Didn't think all that much of the first one but I'm willing to give this a try. I love me some horror! Also on the Blu Ray.
Black Dog Video's Staff Picks of the Year
Here are some links to what I enjoyed the most this year. There's a lot of ones I didn't get to see yet (Before Midnight, Her, Inside Llewyn Davis) and some of these may not be the best films, but the following are what I had the most fun with. Listed in alphabetical order…
http://boxd.it/9z1i
http://boxd.it/9zhA
http://boxd.it/9zhK
John's Picks
Upstream Colour
Blue is the Warmest Colour
White House Down
The Great Beauty
I'm So Excited!
Josie's Picks
In no specific order other than the goofy ass category I give them. I watched probably the fewest movies in any given year of my entire life in 2013. Very little TV watching either.
Best Giallo Influenced Art-Film disguised as Ryan Gosling porn.
Only God Forgives – Directed by Nicolas Winding Refn, owned by Kirsten Scott Thomas as Cruella De Mob Mother.
Best Stupid Summer Blockbuster
Pacific Rim – Rock em Sock em giant Robots fights a terrible script and Alien Kaiju. You don't care that Idris Elba has to say things like "We're cancelling the Apocalypse." And, you shouldn't care. mindless big screenery. I think it may suffer on disc unless you have a huge ass TV, which you probably do.
Laugh Out Loud Funniest Movie that I expected to be really lame
This Is The End – The best Apocalypse Buddy movie of all time, The Citizen Kane of Apocalypse Buddy Movies. (sorry Vertigo, you don't yet have the best movie ever swagger for that joke, yet) Most heartfelt nonsense of the year. Also: Danny McBride. nuff said.
Best Movie that was on Everyone's list last year, because they saw it in the theatre and I didn't Memorial Trophy
Django Unchained – Obviously. Completely over the top: Samuel Jackson should have got an Oscar for his most complex role ever. Too much DiCaprio (not always a bad thing), to my mind, but otherwise, it stays with me more positively than Inglorious Basterds.
Most disappointing movie that had potential to be really awesome.
Man Of Steel – I want a movie about Jor-El – Space Dad Adventurer. The stuff on Krypton is the best sci-fi all year. It goes downhill slowly from there until the third act where it gets slightly less subtle than the ending of any number of Matrix movies. What is it with Superhero movies and their inability to have decent third acts, these days? Sheesh. I do love that both his dads are "Robin Hood." That may be the best thing about it. I spent half the movie doing my nails.
Worst use of Wolverine in 2013 award
There is some stiff competition for this award. In the comics Wolvie is every second thing you read from Marvel. Some of the best Wolverine comics are about his ties to Japan, and Bushido, Yakuza, Silver Samurai, The Viper, Lady Deathstrike, etc. But this flick is such a muddle. Weirdly paced and dull. Wolverine might be over saturated to many of us nerds, but we're still waiting for an actual "Wolverine movie."
TV Shows that I actually Still watch
Best New Show that I realy hope keeps on being as awesome in season 2.
Orange Is The New Black – Light years ahead of Jenji Kohan's Weeds, which I also loved. But this show is the real deal, at least Season 1, Sopranos, Wire level TV.
Most Consistently Interesting Network show
Person Of Interest. Great ensemble, a show that is willing to grow and change up its story as the concept matures, making it a very Meta show.
Most Disappointingly 'Network' of all the SF that is happening on TV right now.
Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. – It's okay, but has yet to except a few moments here and there really capture what I personally want out of such a show. More Steranko, less Whedon.
Torten's Picks
Fave 10 movies of the year:
1) The Wall (Germany)
2) Graceland (Phillipines)
3) Post Tenebras Lux (MEX)
4) The Deep (DK/Iceland)
5) Only God Forgives (DK/USA)
6) Amour (FR)
7) Silence (Germany)
Great movies were in short supply this year so the last 3 are TV!
8)Parade's End (GB)
9)Rectify (USA)
10) Top Of The Lake (NZ)
Shobi's Picks
The Hunt – best film of the year for me, how easily someone's words can have everlasting consequences. Mads Mikkelsen is gold.
Ain't Them Bodies Saints – out on DVD in the next few weeks. One of my favourites from VIFF this year. If you like Badlands this is a great contemporary film with the same feel.
The Gatekeepers – a documentary on the Shin Bet (Israel's CIA). Candid interviews with past heads of Shin Bet. Highly political but incredibly interesting.
Frozen Ground – My main man Nicolas Cage plays opposite an evil john Cusack based on events of Alaska's most notorious serial killer.
Broken – Tim Roth plays a good guy in this! Great dark, dark British film with some heart centred around a cul de sac and the people that inhabit it.
Killing Them Softly – filmmaker Andrew Dominik has made only perfect movies (Chopper, The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford). This film about the current underbelly of America is so good, watch it and go watch his others if you haven't seen those! (Be warned though, strong subject matter as they say)
I hope that everyone has a safe and happy New Year's and I hope to see you all in 2014. Viva la Video Stores!

Black Dog Newsletter for Week Ending December 23rd
They say that if you put an infinite number of monkeys in a room with an infinite number of typewriters that eventually they'd write the complete works of Shakespeare or something like that. What I know is, not only would this scenario be awesome and hilarious, but it would be a big crazy disaster. Just think of all the monkey poop all over that room! Who's going to clean up all that monkey poop, you? Not me, that's for sure. Well since I won't be able to get an infinite number of monkeys (I could only round up 9) in a room with all those typewriters, I'm gonna take off writing the newsletter next week (not that I equate this thing with Shakespeare or anything). It's the holidays and there aren't any new releases next Tuesday anyhoo.
Come on monkeys, this newsletter isn't going to write itself!
This Saturday we have a couple of exciting doin's a transpirin' at the Black Dogs. Over at the Commercial location, local musical hero Jason Zumpano is going to be spinning some festive records in the afternoon between 3 and 5. Drop by for a listen, say hi, rent a flick. You'll be a better person for it (note – no guarantees that you'll be a better person for it). At Cambie we're having a big DVD and Blu Ray sale once again. This time however we're throwing in a whole pile of new, previously-loved titles. They make great stocking stuffers for the ones you love. Or hate. Depending on the title you choose. Speaking of stuffing one's stocking, we have lots of our fabulous Black Dog underwear for sale as well as gift certificates and Black Dog tote bags! One stop shopping!
Oh and I should also mention that all of our old title Crimbo (it's what the cool kids call Christmas these days) movies can now be rented for the small sum of $3! But they only rent for 2 days. So there's that.
Cottage Country – Canadian comedy (don't let that put you off) with funny-man Tyler Labine (Tucker and Dale vs Evil) as a dude who wants to propose to his girlfriend up at their nice cottage (cabin for all you west-coasters). The only problem? His weirdo brother and his weirdo brother's free-spirited girlfriend tag along for the ride. Nothing a little axe work can't take care of though, right?
Elysium – Fairly disappointing sci-fi number from the director of the amazing District 9 finds a bald, shiny Matt Damon attempting to escape a ruined Earth and head up to a giant space station run by Jodie Foster (with the worst accent in the history of the universe) so he can be cured of some radiation poisoning he picked up at work (hate that). I had high hopes for this and I started off liking it quite a bit. But then about half-way through I stopped liking it for some reason. Too bad. But you might like it! Also on the Blu Ray.
The Family – Old Mafia boss Bobby DeNiro drags his wife (Michele Pfeiffer) and kids to France to live under the witness relocation program. I'm guessing that comedy and action hijinks ensue as the fishes out of water have a hard time adjusting to the French way of life. Tommy Lee Jones and his enormous head are along for the ride as the guy in charge of keeping them under wraps. Does DeNiro's former business partners track him down? Probably. Directed by Luc Besson for some reason. Also on the Blu Ray.
Justified Season 4 – Timothy Olyphant swaggers around the town as the sheriff and the wonderfully named and massively foreheaded Walton Goggins crimes it up in Season 4 of this great TV show.
Kick-Ass 2 – Jim Carrey replaces (even if it's not really possible) Nic Cage in the sequel to the totally fun, stupid and violent Kick-Ass. Hit Girl and Kick-Ass team up once again, when not trying to fit in as regular teen-agers, to fight the evil menace that was once know as Red Mist. Violence and comedy, I presume, ensue. Also on the Blu Ray.
Lone Ranger – Why does this movie exist? So weirdo Quentin Tarantino can put it on his best of the year list? Johnny Depp walks around with a dead crow on his head pretending to be Native American while some guy named Armie Hammer (can't be a real name me thinks) plays the Lone Ranger in Gore Verbinski's too long western twaddle. Also on the Blu Ray.
Percy Jackson: Sea on Monsters – As the box boldly states, "More Action, More Fun, the Best Percy Yet!" Since there's only one other Percy Jackson film, that's not much of a claim to fame. The amusingly named Logan Lerman is back as the son of Poseidon fighting all sorts of monsters (mostly from the sea I imagine). I knew a guy a long time ago that we called Poseidon. He was an older guy that, for some reason, liked to hang out with my friends and I. He had a big beard so he was known in our circle as Poseidon, God of the Beard. Wonder what ever happened to him….Also on the Blu Ray.
Prisoners – Just in time for the festive season comes this thriller about child abduction, torture and murder. Hugh Jackman (who on the cover looks like a wax figurine of Hugh Jackman that has been left out in the sun for too long) plays a dad whose daughter, along with his neighbour's daughter, is taken. Neckless Jake Gyllenhall is the cop heading up the investigation. Who took the girls? Was it the weirdo Paul Dano who drives the crappy looking RV around town? What lengths will Wolverine go to find out? This is an excellent, tense thriller. It will probably be on my best of the year list. Also on the Blu Ray.
Would You Rather – Nasty, but fun, looking horror number about an eccentric dude (played by the eccentric and awesome Jeffery Combs – Re-Animator) who invites a bunch of desperate people over to his mansion with the idea to see how far they will go for untold riches.
Coming in 2 Weeks
Don Jon
Insidious Chapter 2
Keep your eyeballs peeled (not literally, of course) for the Black Dog year end top picks for the year of movies that we saw in the year 2013.
I hope that everyone has a safe, happy, food and booze fuelled holiday. Talk at you soon!
From our family to yours!

Black Dog Newsletter for Week Ending December 16th
So I was driving home from playing hockey up at UBC (always have to say "up at" when referring to a place like UBC because it's far away and on a slight incline) this past Saturday night. I'm always in quite a good mood after playing hockey – the combination of exercise (hockey exercise to be precise), beer, fun and whatnot always puts my a fine mood. Traffic is what it is in Vancouver…read more…
So there's this thing called Christmas or Xmas or Crimbo approaching. Some or most of you may have heard of it. Apparently it's a time to give gifts to family members, friends, pets and video store clerks. Hah! Stumped as to what to buy for a loved one? Might we interest you in a swell pair of Black Dog underwear? They are amazing. I'm wearing a pair right now. So comfy! They are hand-made by local designer Oona Clothing. $15 for the ladies, $25 for the dudes. I highly recommended them. We also have gift certificates to stuff in someone's stocking if that pleases you.
New Releases for Tuesday the 10th of This Month
Despicable Me 2 – More loveable antics from Gru and the adorable minions in this fun romp that's great for the whole family! Provides a good bonding opportunity to connect with your kids while enriching all of your lives. And it's on the Blu Ray.
Drinking Buddies – Romantic comedy that finds two good-looking (TV good-looking!) kids working in a Chicago brewery together and flirting a lot. Only problem is they are in separate relationships. Can beer be the thing that brings them together? Of course it can, is there anything that beer can't do?
Fast and Furious 6 – So I thought that it would be a good idea to watch this around 11:30 Saturday night after hockey and several delicious beers as part of a double header (Anchorman being the 1st film). I think I made it about 45 minutes in before I started dozing off. I don't remember much of anything from the movie except some hazy flashes of the erie, sad spectre of Paul Walker, Vin Diesel grunting his lines while his head looks like a fleshy bullet, my wife snoring beside me on the couch, people flying through the air – a lot – off of bridges, from cars, trucks and planes (I don't think that gravity and the laws of physics exists in the F & F world). women with alarmingly skinny bodies and giant heads, The Rock looking huge and shiny, lots of close-ups if bums in bikinis and a chase involving a plane on the world's longest runway (like seriously, the runway must have been at least 50 miles long!). Couldn't tell you what it was about or if it's any good. Also on the Blu Ray.
Man of Tai Chi – Canoe Reeves directs (yes you read that right) this martial arts/fight club type of action flick. Looks like fun.
Seasoning House – What I thought might have been the latest Gordon Ramsay reality cooking endeavour turns out to be a cool-looking revenge horror shocker about a deaf girl who has to care for a bunch of enslaved women forced to service some disgusting military types. Of course it wouldn't be a revenge thriller without some sweet revenge-type proceedings. Looking forward to this one. Also on the Blu Ray.
Touchy-Feely – From the director of the fine flicks Humpday and My Sister's Sister come this nice little number about a massage therapist who, all of a sudden, has an aversion to touching humans. I can see that might cause a bit of concern for her and her career.
Sightseers – My most anticipated flick of the week/month is this new horror/comedy/hipster/road trip film from Ben Wheatley (Kill List). A young couple goes on holiday and it turns dark and bloody and hilarious and disturbing and gruesome and quite amoral. Yes please!
Cottage Country
Justified Season 4
The Lone Ranger
Percy Jackson: Sea of Monsters
Drinking Buddies
Lilyhammer Season 1
Breaking Bad: Final Season

So it seems that the Black Friday "disease" is creeping across the border as many shops around town did their own (Canadian) version of the shopping orgy that goes on the day after the American Thanksgiving. Is it just me or does it not seem ironic that immediately after Americans give "thanks" for all that is good and right in their world that they feel the need to stampede to the closest nightmare Walmart, Best Buy, Costington's or whatever to trample each other so they can save $13 on an iProduct or get some really cheap towels? I couldn't think of anything I would rather not do – perform surgery on myself with a warm spoon, visit a pig farm dressed as a mafia boss (read more), walk barefoot through Grandview Park – then plunge myself in the throngs of drooling, short-fingered vulgarians clamouring over the corpses of their fellow shoppers to snag the best deal. Want proof of the madness? Read more…
"Glargh! Must save money, lose dignity"
For a more civilized shopping experience, drop into the Cambie location this Saturday. We'll be featuring a pile of previously viewed DVD and Blu Rays on super special! How does half-price sound to you? Sounds pretty good to me. All of our previously loved DVDs and Blu Rays will be on sale for a meagre $5 each, 2 for $8 or 3 for $10. First come first serve. No pushing, shoving, stabbing, or bludgeoning allowed.
New Releases for Tuesday December 3rd
All the Boys Love Mandy Lane – Much ballyhooed, for some reason, teen-horror flick about the virtuous Mandy Lane and all the boys that want to get next to her. They all head up to a cabin in the woods where someone starts murdering everyone. This one is finally making it's DVD debut 7 years after it was made by the director of Warm Bodies, 50/50 and The Wackness.
Jayne Mansfield's Car – Family drama starring a bunch of actors – John Hurt, Kevin Bacon (mmm bacon), Robert Duvall and a ton of others (this film will make the 6 degrees of Kevin Bacon game much easier). Directed by Jian Gomeshi's new best friend, Billy Bob Thornton.
Lilyhammer Season 1 – Excellent show (even if it's from the dreaded Netflix) that finds mobster and wicked guitar player Steven Van Zandt fleeing to Norway after he testifies against his former, shall we say, associates.
Mortal Instruments: City of Bones – Another science fiction teen fantasy thing that finds a bunch of ridiculously good-looking teens fighting demons in and alternate reality version of New York. There seems to be many opportunities for jokes (a good title to make a porn parody for sure) here. Also on the Blu Ray.
Prince Avalanche – Seems that David Gordon Green has learned that his strength lies in these solid little indie efforts after a few missteps with James Franco (Your Highness) and Jonah Hill (The Sitter). This one finds Paul Rudd, a sweet moustache and Emile Hirsch working on the highway on 1988 to escape their dull city lives. Also on the Blu Ray.
Smurfs 2 – Why bother? (Might be late on the shelves, if anyone cares)
Wolf Children – Excellent Japanese animated fare from the director of Summer Wars finds Hana falling in love with a Wolf Man. After the Wolf Man's death, Hana decides to move to a rural town to continue raising her two wolf children Ame and Yuki. Yes you read all of that right. Also on the Blu Ray.
The Wolverine – Mr. Wolverine travels to Japan to become a samurai and eat sushi with his pointy claws and while there he becomes embroiled in some sort of conflict. Of course he does. What were you expecting a nicely acted sombre drama? Driving Mr. Wolverine? Not too sure why Wolverine needs a samurai sword as he has a bunch of them that shoot out of his hands when he gets angry or horny or something. And really, is that the best title they could come up with? Adding a "The" to the title to differentiate between this and Wolverine? Also on the Blu Ray.

Is It Possible To Achieve Financial Freedom?
The Financial Investment world is absolutely undiscovered territory for a lot of people, especially for those who would need it most. In the Tony Robbins's book, Money Master the Game has uncovered so much of delicate information about how to secure the financial freedom through investing. The book is written in a way that the average normal people could take an advantage of the valuable information that Mr. Robbins had laid down in a 500-page book. How to start improving your lifestyle step by step, even if you think that there is nothing left that you've got. It's the worst feeling when the one thinks that there is nothing coming in the favor, and we just keep repeating the same monolog in our head over and over because there seems to be no way out of the desperate financial situation. Then a lot of people start putting the blame for their sorrow and suffer on everything and everyone around.
Tony Robbins show that the man can improve and half-manifest the life that everyone of us wants, through the focus, belief, action, and positive state of mind. The one without another is useless. Focus without belief and action, action without focus and belief and so on. But altogether it's the most powerful state of being, and once the one can see that, he/she realize that living a happy and financially independent life is not that hard, the one just have to choose.
To sum up what Tony basically did, he spoke out to the 50 richest people and most successful investors on the planet, to come up with the formula that keeps the rich richer without very little risk. We can think about his book as the updated version of the Think and Grow Rich by Napoleon Hill, which is the book that every single successful businessman, investor or entrepreneur read. Therefore, Hill's book is more and tightly focused on psychological and spiritual aspects of success, Robbin's book is more from the practical side point of view, which many people will appreciate that.
Debunking the myths from the world of investment and showing and explaining where the majority of beginning investors do mistakes and what they do wrong. This part of a business is full of wrong information and false directions, and only the handful of people seen through and learned how to swim in this dangerous water absolutely safe, and without any risk of losing a big chunk of an investment.
People often ask me to tell them what's in the book, to make a review of it's most important content. Here is what I can honestly say. It's impossible to describe and review the most important content of the book because I would almost have to write a book about the Money Master the Game myself, and maybe to your surprise, there already is such a book, which just 100% justify what I have just said.
If you are at least slightly interested in about the success and investing subject, just get Tony's book right now, for $15 dollars nobody cannot go wrong.
Also here down below there is a brilliant video interview with Frank Kern and Tony Robbins about his book, done a little bit over a year ago. This is Money Master the Game Review, and I hope that everyone is going to like that and get the most out of it for the financially secure lifestyle.


Today I learned about teamwork. There are 10 elements to being a good team member. And judging others don't or not being respectable with each other isn't the way. Contribute and come up with a few ideas and respect will be earned. The best way is to have fun with your friends and you will make teamwork grow stronger.
Today I learned about types of communication. There are 5 types: verbal, aural, non-verbal, visual, and written. I watched a video about the types of communication.
Avoid debris or stuff that is the way of your path. Keep aisles clear!
Follow all safety procedures and don't take short cuts. Short cuts can lead to injury and possibly even death.
Only use equipment that you have been trained on. Ask questions if you are unsure of anything.
Lifting: put 2 fingers under item to be lifted, if you can't move it then it's too heavy to move alone. Ask for help and always follow lifting procedures.
If there is a spill on the floor clean it up right away to prevent others from being injured.
Always be aware of your surroundings!!

Sledding Hill at Hideaway Park – a great little hill in downtown Winter Park next to the visitor center. There are sleds provided, so all you need to do is show up. This hill is best for small kids, since it's pretty small, but I just sledded down it the other day and had a blast.
Snowshoe Hikes – the visitor center has free guided snowshoe tours on the weekends. They provide the snowshoes and take you on a beginner scenic hike on the scenic Fraser River Trail. If you want to go out on your own, you can rent at Ski Broker or Christy Sports.
Snow Mountain Ranch – aka the YMCA of the Rockies. There is a $5 admission fee, unless you're a member of the YMCA (then it's free). To use the indoor pool and climbing wall, you only have to pay the admission. To use the sledding/tubing hill, it's $5 more for an all-day sled rental or $10 for an all-day tubing rental. Much more affordable than the Fraser Tubing Hill's $18/hour fee. There are just as many cross country and snowshoe trails as the more pricey Devil's Thumb Ranch and rentals are cheaper, too.
Ice Skating – the base village has a brand-new outdoor ice skating rink that is free to use, you just need to rent the ice skates. Cooper Creek Square in downtown Winter Park also has a free, partially covered, outdoor ice skating rink. The rentals are a bit more affordable at the Viking Ski Lodge or Christy Sports next to the Cooper Creek Square rink than the base village rentals.
Shuttle Ride – this may be a bit off the wall, but you can take a tour of the Winter Park and Fraser area for free on the shuttles that circle around the towns. The Red and Purple lines are the best for checking out the residential areas of Fraser and the Orange and Brown lines show you the homes of Winter Park. You can see some really beautiful homes and may even catch a glimpse of some wildlife. A nice gesture is to tip your driver, but that's optional, of course.


14:16 paramat is #4912 actually fixable in MT?
14:20 Fixer <YuGiOhJCJ> hello, on SONOF Raspberry Pi server, with Minetest 0.4.16 and Irrlicht 1.8.1, my client often crashes after playing some minutes: https://pastebin.com/QzujXh7Q do you know why?
15:36 paramat please can we close #6322 ?
15:36 ShadowBot https://github.com/minetest/minetest/issues/6322 -- Collaboration with Terasology project?
15:51 juhdanad There is place for collaboration. For example allowing the other project to use some algorithms from there.
15:53 juhdanad I also thought they could help making our Android port better, but they don't have an Android version.
16:24 nore can someone review almost-trivial #6324 btw?
16:27 nore paramat: hmm btw are you still against #5687 now since we are breaking backwards compatibility for 0.5?
16:27 Krock nore, will test.
16:28 celeron55 rubenwardy: do you suppose there was a big fault from MT's part?
16:28 juhdanad 5687 has a critical bug: conversion from old to new format sometimes creates dark map blocks. I don't know the cause, any help is appreciated.
16:29 juhdanad I tried to document my functions well, that should help.
16:39 rubenwardy is there a convertor?
16:40 juhdanad rubenwardy: If merged, Minetest will automatically convert and save the loaded map blocks in the new format.
16:41 juhdanad paramat: think of it as maximising the information content of param1.
16:43 nore juhdanad: btw, is there a comment in the issue about the problem you're currently having with it?
16:44 paramat btw juhdanad if asked would you be prepared to be a MT dev?
16:51 YuGiOhJCJ sfan5, GL is only used on the client side isn't it? so why it matters to run the server on a pi with gles/egl instead of GL driver?
16:52 rubenwardy shivajiva, did he express in IRC? Do you know the date?
16:58 sfan5 "should have done this much earlier but was lazy"
17:04 sfan5 rubenwardy: how would you design containers in formspecs?
17:06 juhdanad paramat: I think I would like to become a developer, but I won't be able to put more time to the project than currently.
17:26 juhdanad I remember how you took care to keep visuals identical when I first introduced hardware colorization too.
19:16 rubenwardy mid september ?
19:25 rubenwardy Does it improve view range / chunk sending at all?
19:40 celeron55 maybe it should still be used?
20:03 celeron55 junglegrass not turning grass to dirt? heresy!
21:43 Lone-Star when i build from source, how can i make a deb from it?

Chinese-Pākeha director brings bilingual play about heritage to the NZ stage
by Francine Chen / 16 February, 2018
Roots [根] – a bilingual play premiering at the Auckland Fringe festival on 23 February – offers diverse communities an opportunity to appreciate the beauty of Mandarin together in a safe space, says Chinese-Pākeha director, actor and writer Chye-Ling Huang.
When Chye-Ling Huang first read the script for Roots, she knew she had to bring the story to New Zealand.
The play, an autobiographical tale that traces Singaporean playwright and actor Oliver Chong's search for his ancestral roots, hit uncannily close to home for Huang.
The Chinese-Pākeha director, writer and actor had been investigating her own family history after years of curiosity about her heritage – a quest that led her to China.
"My dad is Chinese-Malaysian, so when we visited his home, it'd be Malaysia," she says. "But as I got older I started getting confused. Were we Malaysian, or were we Chinese?
"After some digging I found out where my ancestral village was – Xiamen, China. On the way I read Oliver's play, and the themes were exactly the same as what I was experiencing at that time in my life.
"I was so struck by it I thought, 'I've got to put this on one day'."
More questions than answers
While being a Chinese-New Zealander came with some cultural nuances, Huang learnt there were universal questions of identity shared by diasporic Chinese communities.
"Why do we want to find our roots? What constitutes our roots? When do we know when we've found it? Why is it important to our everyday life and how much of that shapes who we are?
"Those are questions that have recurred throughout my life."
Having a Chinese name was one of the reasons she repeatedly faced such questions, Huang says.
"I don't have the sort of name that blends in with New Zealand-Pākeha.
"I've continually been questioned about where I'm from, whether I can speak Mandarin, what being Chinese means to me. And up until last year or the year before, I didn't really know any of the answers. I had never been to China and investigated for myself what it all means.
"Does it even change anything that I went back? Or am I still the same person?
"It's a complicated way to look at heritage, and I think the play definitely opens up a lot of questions."
Bringing diverse communities together
Roots reunites Huang with Singaporean-Kiwi actor Amanda Grace Leo, whom she last worked with on Call of the Sparrows.
It's the first time the play will be performed by an actor other than Oliver Chong. Subtle tweaks were made to the script to reflect the change in performer, but none were as significant as the decision to stage the production in English and Mandarin.
Huang hopes the bilingual element will bring diverse communities together in mutual appreciation of the language and story.
"The original script is in Mandarin but we've made it bilingual," she says.
"I hope Roots helps to unite people who can't speak Mandarin and those who can in one room together, to show that it's not so scary to co-exist, and to hear Chinese as a really beautiful, interesting, funny language in a safe space."
The play also offers Chinese diasporic families an opportunity to reflect on issues of heritage in a tongue familiar to each generation.
"I know many Chinese diasporic families where the parents don't speak English very well, and they don't speak to their kids in their native language because they don't want to disadvantage them by having accents or being teased.
"So there are lots of families who just can't communicate or be on the same page. They've done it out of love, but it's a massive disconnect. It's my hope a family of those people will come along, and both understand everything that's happened."
Asian talent in New Zealand
The launch of a bilingual play with an Asian female lead is among the latest in a list of encouraging developments in the Asian-Kiwi arts scene since Huang graduated from acting school in 2013.
An anxiety then over the lack of prospects for Asian-New Zealand performers compelled Huang and the only other Asian student in her class, James Roque, to start their own company, Proudly Asian Theatre.
"We started getting jobs, but along the way, we met lots of up-and-coming Asian-New Zealand talent who were doing their own work; some successful, some struggling.
"Although we're not hugely resourced, we decided to make PAT more about engaging with, and discovering, and supporting Asian artists.
"The underlying kaupapa behind everything we do at PAT is inclusivity, and to support people in whatever way we can, with whatever resources we can."
Huang believes the outlook for Asian-Kiwi stories is a promising one.
"I think we're becoming braver to put ourselves on stage, and push the boundaries politically, and be a bit more contentious, a bit more outspoken.
"It's my belief we'll get to a point where there's lots of practitioners doing all levels of [things]. I really want to do Shakespeare with an all-Asian cast one day. Or Chekov, or anything mainstream, but casted inclusive.
"It's going to take time, but it's exciting."
Interview by Francine Chen. Roots runs on 23–24 February at Uxbridge in Howick, and 1–3 March at Loft @ Q Theatre in Auckland CBD.

Astronomers have dubbed it 'Quaoar' (pronounced kwa-whar) after a Native American god. It lies a billion kilometers beyond Pluto and moves around the Sun every 288 years in a near-perfect circle. Until recently it was just a curious point of light. That's all astronomers could see when they discovered it June, 2002 using a ground-based telescope. But now it's a world.
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has measured Quaoar and found it to be 1300 km wide. That's about 400 km wider than the biggest main-belt asteroid (Ceres) and more than half the diameter of Pluto itself. Indeed, it's the largest object in the solar system seen since the discovery of Pluto 72 years ago.
Quaoar is greater in volume than all known asteroids combined. Researchers suspect it's made mostly of low-density ices mixed with rock, not unlike the makeup of a comet. If so, Quaoar's mass is probably only one-third that of the asteroid belt. Quaoar is the record-holder - a tantalizing glimpse of perhaps bigger things to come.

CMBG3 Hosts DEI Expert Jermaine Moore On Unconscious Bias Training
Feb 12, 2021 | Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, News
On February 12, 2021, over 90% of the CMBG3 team was able to participate in a training session on unconscious bias with Jermaine Moore, founder of the Mars Hill Group. Mr. Moore has spent two decades working with companies of all sizes, including Fortune 500 companies, on diversity initiatives.
The interactive session focused on educating the CMBG3 team on unconscious bias (what it is, what types of the bias exist, etc.), helping the team to understand how those biases may play a part in our own way of thinking, and how those biases impact our relationship and interactions in the work and social environments. Mr. Moore also discussed best practices for ways to combat these biases.
CMBG3 is thrilled to have a partnership with Mr. Moore, and is committed to having Mr. Moore have several dialogues with our team on various diversity, equity and inclusion topics. Our next session with Mr. Moore will focus on the topic of "courageous conversations", aimed at helping the CMBG3 team comfortably engage each other and our teams. Many of us hesitate to have these conversations out of fear of saying the wrong thing or giving the wrong impression. This session will offer strategies to help ensure these conversations are healthy and productive. We will cover:
Strategies for facilitating conversations on sensitive topics
Fostering healthy, productive relationships through dialogue
CMBG3 is proud to be a majority women-owned law firm and we are sincerely committed to diversity, equity and inclusion initiatives not only in our firm, but in the legal community and society as a whole. For more about our D.E.I. initiatives, please visit us or contact our Chair of D.E.I., Seta Accaoui.

The United Nations on Wednesday raised an alarm of the Rohingya refugees stranded in a boat in the Andaman Sea without food or water
India's coast guard rescued 81 Rohingya refugees from a boat adrift in the Andaman Sea, India's external affairs ministry said on Thursday.
"The engine of the boat failed on February 15 and since then it has been drifting," Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) spokesperson Anurag Srivastava said in a press briefing.

The United Nations on Wednesday raised an alarm of the Rohingya refugees stranded in a boat in the Andaman Sea without food or water.
The boat's engine broke down after four days at sea and the refugees on board had run out of food and water with several people gone ill and facing extreme dehydration at the time they were rescued, the spokesperson added.
Two coast guard ships were sent to rescue the migrants, 23 of whom were children.
"When we learnt of the boat in distress, we immediately dispatched two coast guard ships to provide food, water and medical assistance to the occupants. Seven of them were administered IV fluids," Srivastava said.
About 90 Rohingya refugees started their journey nearly two weeks ago and the UN and rights groups had said that these migrants are suffering from acute dehydration and were ill.

Reed City sophomore safety gearing up for key ballgames
John Raffel
Published 10:10 pm EDT, Tuesday, October 7, 2014
Trenton Sturgell
REED CITY — Trent Sturgell is among two sophomores that are getting the job done in the Reed City varsity football lineup this season.
The other 10th-grader is running back Logan Straub, also a linebacker, who is seeing a lot of action.
Sturgell has been seeing action at defensive back. He's also a wide receiver.
It's Sturgell's first varsity season.
"It's different faster; they're all faster, bigger and stronger," Sturgell said. "We're just playing football."
Sturgell, as a safety, is heavily involved in pass coverage.
"Our weakest link is probably pass (coverage)," Sturgell said. "I think we're stepping up. Baldwin gave us a good (test) the first week. I think we've improved a lot. It's practice, practice, practice."
As a defensive player, Sturgell enjoys hitting. But he wants to improve on his tackling.
"I use my shoulders, I don't use my hands," he said. "I have to learn to do that."
The Coyotes, 5-1, are coming off a 56-20 homecoming win over Big Rapids last Friday. Reed City is 2-1 in the CSAA, and is at Central Montcalm this week.
"We definitely want to make playoffs, we can make a big run," Sturgell said. "If we beat Chip Hills (plus Big Rapids and Central Montcalm), it will be a three-way tie for conference. We have to play smart and play intense."

King and Queen County Voter Guide
Member of the House of Representatives Qasim Rashid
Congress, 1st Congressional District
Qasim Rashid
This election is held on November 3, 2020, and shares a ballot with the US presidential election. A human rights lawyer, Qasim Rashid (D), is running against incumbent Rob Whitman (R), who has been in Congress since 2007.
Virginia's 1st Congressional District stretches from the fringes of Northern Virginia suburbs to the Hampton Roads area. It contains the entire city of Fredericksburg, as well as all or part of the following counties: Caroline, Essex, Fauquier, Gloucester, Hanover, James City, King and Queen, King George, King William, Lancaster, Mathews, Middlesex, New Kent, Northumberland, Prince William, Richmond County, Spotsylvania, Stafford, and Westmoreland. The district has been Republican for over twenty years. However, it has moved increasingly left since 2016.
Attorney Qasim Rashid is the first Muslim to run for Congress from Virginia. He's an immigrant from Pakistan and a graduate of the University of Richmond Law School. Rashid and his wife live in Stafford County with their three daughters. He's never held elected office before, but practices human rights law, advocates for survivors of domestic violence and sexual abuse, and has authored several books.
Rashid is centering his campaign on bolstering working families by increasing the minimum wage and providing paid family leave. He wants to address the gender wage gap by fighting for pay equity. He believes in the rights of workers to unionize and collectively bargain and supports repealing right to work laws. He also sees expanding broadband access to rural communities as a key economic driver for Virginia.
Rashid supports restoring the Voting Rights Act. He is also in favor of a nonpartisan redistricting process and the drawing of fair district lines that keep communities intact.
Rashid promises to expand healthcare access by working toward a national single-payer system. He sees that the black maternal mortality rate is a national crisis and should be addressed head-on with federal action. Rashid supports access to safe and legal abortion, agreeing that everyone should be able to choose whether, how, and when to have children for themselves.
As a supporter of the Green New Deal, Rashid wants to create jobs through investment in the green job sector. He plans to cut subsidies to the fossil fuel industry by ceasing further exploration by oil and gas industries. He also promises to protect the Chesapeake Bay from further environmental damage.
Rashid believes in protecting the Second Amendment, but also in keeping guns out of the wrong hands by passing red flag laws. He wants to implement universal background checks and mandatory waiting periods on gun purchases while banning automatic assault rifles and high-capacity magazines to curb gun violence in America.
Rashid is running against Republican incumbent Robb Wittman, who has represented the 1st District since 2007. Ninety-three percent of Wittman's votes are in line with President Trump. Wittman voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act. He also voted against increasing housing assistance and an economic stimulus package to help people during the coronavirus pandemic. He opposes raising the minimum wage and abortion rights. Wittman received a 10% score from the League of Conservation Voters for his voting record on the environment.
Due to Wittman's support of Donald Trump, his votes to undermine the Affordable Care Act, and his opposition to reproductive rights, Qasim Rashid is the most progressive choice for Virginia's 1st Congressional District.

Q: What is the proper way to set up the Apache document root in terms of privileges? I have just installed Ubuntu 9.10 server edition on my machine and I wish to run my own personal local server with other users in the same LAN.
First, I was wondering what folder directory structure is best  for the web root?
Should I just use:
/var/www/

and start throwing web documents there or should I create a folder elsewhere (maybe the home directory)?
Second, in the
/var/www/

directory only the root user can create documents in there, however, I wish to have other users be able to create files in the document root and upload them via FTP. Should I change the permissions or the www/ folder? Or again, should I create the document root elsewhere with different permissions? What is the safest way of doing this?

A: I disagree with Warner here, for a single site use /var/www, but for anything more complex I create subdirs in /srv/www
From your question the rough guide is:

*

*aptitude install apache2

*chmod g+w /var/www

*adduser USER www-data (For each user)

Then have the users use SCP (please don't use FTP) to upload the files. If they want a GUI client then look at FileZilla.

A: Typically for servers serving only a few large sites dedicated in role, such as in a professional IT environment, they would be contained within /var/www.
I would create subdirectories for each separate site.  For example:
/var/www/example.com
/var/www/testing.com
/var/www/anotherexample.com

What you are describing sounds more akin to a shared hosting environment.  With a shared server, I would typically configure each user's Web sites within their home directories within public_html.  If they had multiple domains, I would follow a similar convention as above but within this directory.  I would also separate the ErrorLog and CustomLog within their home directory but outside of the Web tree.
SuExec and and mod_suphp would also be advised to prevent users' data being exposed to other users on the system and to limit scope of any users' Web sites being vulnerable.
If the users did not have domains, you could use subdomains within a primary domain or mod_userdir.
If you would rather not take the more organized approach, I would suggest using sub-directories, groups, and the SGID bit within /var/www.  Nevertheless, that would not be the ideal approach in almost all situations.

Mercedes-Benz Tornado
Nicole Sharp - May 20, 2013 July 25, 2019
The world's most powerful artificial tornado is part of the Mercedes-Benz Museum in Stuttgart, Germany. Though popular enough with visitors that the staff will bring out smoke generators to make it visible, the tornado was not built as an attraction – It's actually part of the building's fire protection system. The modern open design of the museum meant that conventional smoke removal systems were inadequate. Instead vorticity is generated in the central lobby with 144 wall-mounted jets. The angular velocity created by the jets is strongest at the middle, in the vortex core, due to conservation of angular momentum – exactly the way a spinning ice skater speeds up by pulling his arms in. The core of the vortex is a low pressure area, which draws outside air toward it – this is how the tornado pulls in smoke when there is a fire. The fan on the ceiling provides the pressure draw necessary for the smoke to be pulled up and out of the building at a supposed rate of 4 tons per minute. See the tornado in action here.

Swedes Who Are No Longer U.S. Residents Received Stimulus Check – The IRS Wants It Back
Former U.S. residents Swedes who received a $1,200 stimulus checks may now have to give it back, according to the IRS.
A recent article in Aftonbladet, a popular Swedish daily newspaper, ran interviews with Swedes who received checks that were part of the $290 billion CARES Act stimulus bill.
One of the interviewees was "Anders," who had lived and worked in New Jersey for three years until he chose to move back to his native Sweden last year. He left behind a US bank account and an inactive social security number.
Then one day, he got an unexpected surprise:
"I kept an account [in the US] because I would get some tax money back, but since then I have not checked the account. Then [my friend, who also worked in the States] asked if I had also received $1,200." Sure enough, as soon as Anders checked his account, there it was.
"I haven't lived there for a year and a half, I pay no taxes, have no belongings there. The only thing I have is a bank and a pension account. It's sad that [the government] doesnt have better control, as there are others who need that money more." he says.
After the article was published, Aftonbladet received several statements from other Swedish citizens who received the stimulus money, including those who haven't been back in years.
Some say they quickly transferred the unexpected check to their Swedish bank accounts, while others have left them sitting in their US accounts in fear that the US tax authority, the IRS, will demand the money back.
Aftonbladet, who did their own investigation, contacted the IRS for a quote in response to the situation. The IRS' message was simple: the money should be refunded.
"A foreign person who is not registered in the United States in 2020 is not eligible for the payment. Foreign citizens who have received a payment must repay the money to the IRS, " stated one email.
The IRS website has instructions on sending back the money. However, not everyone is on board.
"If it were a simple solution, I would gladly send the money back," says Anders. However, he fears bureaucratic hassle, which he already has experience with.
"I tried to cancel this [US] bank account some time ago but then I was referred to my local office. Then it became tricky."
Aftonbladet reached out to the IRS and asked about the consequences people face who don't return the money. However, they have still not received an answer.

Fix up, look sharp, it's that time where we show you lucky lot what's hot in the word of sneaks.
This week we have a super-fresh Nike double header, as we check out the Roshe Run and Air Max 95 No-Sew.
Back in '95 these Air Max 95s were a revelation. The multiple visible air bubbles and the layered structure uppers were revolutionary leaps in sneaker tech, they also looked pretty badass – in fact they still do!
And now, 17-years later, the Roshe Run is pulling in similar state of the art Free Run tech, with lightweight breathable decon uppers and EVA midsoles. Yet again Nike continues to push the boundaries within trainer design technology.
Now there may be a 17-year age gap between the Air Max 95 and the new Roshe Run, but we'd be more than happy in either.

Apple Watch Now Officially Available For Purchase In India
By Paul Morris | November 6th, 2015
Today brings some more great news for Apple fans who happen to be residents of India. After launching the iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus in the country just last month, the Cupertino-based technology outfit has now followed through with expected plans to introduce the Apple Watch in India. The immediately availability of the Apple Watch through Apple's authorized retail channels means that the intelligent timepiece is opened up to an additional huge population that can only benefit sales of the device.
Those interested in getting their hands on the wrist wear will be able to choose from a multitude of options. Both the 38mm and 42mm models in a variety of colors are available to purchase via official channels. Consumers are able to choose from the Gold, Rose Gold, Space Gray, Silver Aluminum finish of the Apple Watch Sport, or can check out the Apple Watch in polished Silver, or Black stainless steel externals. There's also the availability of the 18-Karat Rose Gold and Yellow Gold options for those wanting to spend a little more on the hardware.
Residents of the country can expect to part with upwards of Rs 48,900 for the 38mm stainless steel model of the Watch, or Rs 52,900 for the 42mm case. This purchase includes a gorgeous white sport band. For those interested in a bit more exclusivity the stainless steel Link Bracelet can be coupled with the Watch costing you Rs 95,900, or you can go for the Classic Buckle leather strap costing you Rs 60,900. The red colored Sport Band which was recently introduced is also up for grabs.
The extravagant Edition variant of the Apple Watch starts at Rs 8.2 lacs (0.82 million) for the 38mm Rose Gold model, with the 42mm model costing Rs 9.9 lacs (0.99 million). As for the Hermes designer range, it has not been launched in the country for now.
For those that don't want to part with that kind of money, the entry-level Apple Watch models start from Rs 30,900 for the 38mm and Rs 34,900 for the 42mm offering. Apple's official retail partners in the country will also be following the company's named outlet stores across the world by selling bands for the Apple Watch on an individual basis, allowing excellent customization options.
It is also being reported that the government of India is in internal discussions over the possibility of relaxing locally implemented laws that currently prevents Apple from having an official retail presence in the country. Those laws currently state that companies are unable to open and operate a manufacturer-owned outlet unless a certain percentage of the company's manufacturing is handled within India. Obviously Apple doesn't currently meet that criteria.
With growth in India occurring at an accelerated rate, and places like Hyderabad becoming home to some of the world's largest tech companies, it's not difficult to understand why Apple would want a presence in the country.
