An absolute gem of a road, leading out of France. Some of the roads approaching this route are horrible in the extreme (they had just been topdressed) but this road was a welcome relief. It leads from twisty wooded canyons gradually opening up as altitude is obtained. Once through the bottleneck of Prats-de-Mollo its time to open your wrist for a very fast uphill section with nice (but not deadly) bends. The Spannish side sees fast open sweeping corners that take you down into Ripoll.
As long as you are in Ripoll you MUST go north through Ribes-de-Freser and over the Col Toses for yet more fast flowing sweeping bends with spectacular views.
This road is a peach it starts off with fast open sweepers that occasionally tighten up, lots of scenery, you then hit the uphill section, twisty, great views, across the cols, then boom when you hit spain the road surface changes and it is like a rollercoaster, fast sweepers and tight bends follow one another in quick succesion, there is bound to be at least one downhill bend which tightens up when least expected giving the brakes as well as your heart a real workout. You then pass through a tunnel and it becomes very fast dual carriageway with sweeping downhill bends that seem to go on forever at many points it is difficult to know if you are going up or down until you try to stop.


From the National Defense Direction Center, Putin personally gave the order to launch in winter conditions the aforementioned system that carries a winged missile of remote-controlled trajectory with hypersonic speed.
Despite having a mass in its start between 50 and 60 tons, the Avangard (RS-26) travels at a hypersonic speed with a maximum range of six thousand kilometers.
Russian Federation touted Thursday a new hypersonic missile said to hit speeds of more than 30,000 kilometers per hour, amid heightened tension with the U.S. over arms control.
Russia's new strategic weapon has rendered any missile defences useless at a small fraction of their cost, officials said.
"The launch was performed by an operational unit of the Strategic Missile Forces from Dombarovsky missile deployment area against a hypothetical target at the Kura range, Kamchatka Territory", the Kremlin noted in a statement.
The Avangard hypersonic vehicle zigzags on its path, making it impossible to predict, Russian Federation says. It's a big moment in the life of the armed forces and in the life of the country. "This has just been completed with absolute success", Putin said during a televised meeting with members of the government. The next secretary of defense must demand high-priority returns on investment from USA defense contractors working to counter these threats.Ultimately, the Avangard is a tanglble reminder that Russian Federation and China are America's two primary adversaries. It can carry conventional or nuclear weapons and maneuver past defenses, according to Russian officials. At the time, he also cited its potential speed as being 20 times the speed of sound - which is 767 miles per hour. Officials in Washington were also anxious about the rise of maneuverable missiles that can strike their targets within seconds.


Easing into barefoot summers when climate requires shod winters..
I live in Michigan and can't handle the freezing temperatures during winter barefooted. Last summer, I went barefoot most of the time (carrying a pair of light shoes for situations where I was asked to don footwear), and I loved it, but my soles were a little raw at times. I naturally have very soft, sensitive skin, so I don't develop thick callouses on my feet (despite forever being a "barefoot in the house" kind of girl, and recently going barefoot much more often).
So I'm just looking for tips on easing into being barefoot more often as the weather starts to warm up a bit. Lately, I've been taking off my shoes as I walk to class, but my feet are starting to feel a little tender already..
Just wanted to let people know that I am very happy with my NEOS overshoes. For the first time in my life my toes are not cold!! The overshoes are very wide, with lots of space to fit whatever you like underneath.
I don't, in fact, wear them with shoes, but with my down-filled hut booties! Coupled with a liner sock and a Smartwool outer sock, I can wait for the bus at -20 with no problem.
However, for my purposes - day-to-day bus riding and city walking, playing in the snow with my daughter, and occasional active use - this combination has been highly satisfactory.
My only refinement next year will be to try some Yak Trax on really icy days. I have been wearing Stablicers this year. They do a great job on the ice, but are only hanging on to the boot by a thread - the boots are a little too wide (Stablicers are shaped like a traditional shoe - too narrow at the toe and barely stretch around the boots). The Yak Trax look more adjustable.
There have been a lot of posts about what minimal shoes to wear in winter. For fall 2012 Merrel will come with the Frost Glove: http://www.thegearcaster.com/the_gearcaster/2012/02/merrell-frost-glove-winter-boots-review.html#more This is going to be a womens model. I wonder if there will also come a wintershoe from Merrel for men.
I'm an ultra-light backpacker, I've been wearing the NB MT10 since July 2011 as my everyday shoe. Now I'm beginning to wear a minimalist shoe on day hikes and want to start wearing them on longer backpacking trips. I tried the Merrell Trail Glove and Vibram FiveFingers KSO. The KSO feels better on my foot and trail and is the one I'm favoring for backpacking.
My question is if wearing the KSO's how do I keep my feet warm and dry during the winter?
Keep in mind I'm not out for a run or day hike, I'm out for 2-3 days. Even on day hikes my feet are getting wet and cold to the point of hurting. Crossing creeks is another problem with cold and wet feet. I'm not concerned with summer and warmer temps.
When I wore trail runners I used plastic bags to keep my feet warm in wet conditions, some hikers use neoprene or Gore-Tex socks. But none of these options work with the VFF.
Do I have any options besides wearing a shoe with a toe box for winter backpacking?
I've been lurking for a while, time to say hi. I split my time between Newfoundland and New Brunswick, thus the vague "Atlantic Canada" in the subject line.
I've always had wide feet. My mother once apologized for having let me run around barefoot so much as a child, making it hard to find shoes that fit. Strange she'd see it as having let me "ruin" my feet, rather than consider there was something wrong with shoes, but I guess that's the mindset we're all trying to change. As a kid, in summer the soles of my feet were an interesting leather-like texture; I have approached that in recent years by going barefoot around the yard, and a few places it feels safe to do so.
I don't run, but I hike quite a bit. Once in a while, on soft squishy forest soils in mild weather, I'll ditch my shoes, and enjoy the funny looks I get. I'm trying to find a minimalist solution to the Atlantic Canadian winter. Here in Corner Brook we just got about 40 cm of snow in 24 hours, luckily the light fluffy stuff, but of course there will be slush eventually. I'm missing my Merrels.
This place is a great resource, I've learned a lot about feet and footwear hanging around here!
I went "barefoot" this summer and now own two pairs of VFF shoes and Merrell cross trainers. I suffered terrible discomfort in my hiking boots for a few years, and switching to minimalist shoes have eliminated that. I have been fine for everything so far, but my dilemma is the winter. What can I wear with my snowshoes?
I was thinking Steger Mukluks but the price is high for me and they really don't want you wearing them in rain conditions. Finally I came across great reviews for Chota Quicklace Mukluks. I happened upon a pair in the size I needed on Ebay and with shipping came in at a hundred bucks. Absolutely flat sole very wide with nice give to them if 2 pairs of socks are worn. I stood in the lake today draining water out of our paddle boats and no leaks. The only question remaining is traction on packed snow. May require Yaktraxs or similar if they prove too slippery.
I'm sure these have come up before, but has anyone used these in winter?
I have switched to minimal shoes, but I live in Chicago and I'm out walking the dog two hours every day, even in -20* weather and knee deep snow.
I was hoping these would work and I bought a pair to wear over my minimal shoes.. Figure I can wear the VFF and put a pair of huge wool socks on over if need be.
I was wearing Bogs, which are nice and wide if you take out the insole, but the bottom is stiff. The NEOS look like they have an uber-thin sole.
As the weather cools down I'm finding myself getting disappointed at the thought of winter. I'm new to running and wondered if anyone has advice on running in the winter time? We get quite a bit of snow here in Utah but there are almost always dry spells throughout the winter. The trails that I enjoy will be covered in snow all year.
We do have an indoor track but I don't think I can handle running inside like that! Any advice is appreciated!
I have this image in my head of a mukluk-type boot. Something soft and warm without a hard sole....and of course, not too pricey since my kids grow out of shoes in minutes.
I just wanted to comment on my experience with Phoenix Boots, but they haven't been added as a model in the Directory yet, so I can't post a formal review.
I purchased these boots hoping that they would be my everyday winter boots - suitable for waiting for the bus, walking around town, playing in the backyard, etc.
When they arrived I almost sent them back for a bigger size because they felt quite tight. But I had heard that the sheepskin really compacts a lot, so I decided to keep them and give it a try. I'm glad I didn't go bigger, because the sheepskin compacted so much that now they are too big unless I am wearing very thick socks!
I have had problems with the insoles from day one - they tend to slide backwards, bunching up at the heel and leaving a one-inch gap at the toe. I suppose I could glue them in, but I still wanted to be able to take them out to air dry. I have also not emailed Soft Star to ask if they have any other suggestions for solving this. I have actually taken to wearing my Vivo Barefoot insoles on top of the sheepskin ones so that I don't have to wear such thick socks all the time, and to provide a bit more coverage!
Also, the sheepskin just doesn't seem as thick around the edges of the insole and there are significant wear patches on the heel, even though I have only been wearing them a couple of months. The heel area of the upper doesn't seem very well lined either - I can feel the seams more in that area and it just doesn't seem as "plush".
I have also had problems with the boots getting damp. I treated them with Soft Star's recommended product, but they just can't handle the wet snow that we get here. They quickly get saturated and take a couple of days to fully dry out. And with the removeable insoles, the dampness really seeps in around the edges inside the boot. Furthermore, cleaning off the salt stains has been a constant chore. I don't know how it is in other snowy places, but here in Ontario they really pour on the salt all winter, and it gets everywhere.
Finally, I find that they don't have enough traction for the winters here. If the sidewalks are at all icy, I do slip the odd time.
To say something positive, I do like the shape of the boot (nice roomy toe and adequate height around the instep) and do appreciate what Soft Star is trying to do. Other people have written glowing reviews, but they just aren't working for me!
I have had similar experiences with the child version of the boot, although the insole is not removeable so that solves the sliding insole problem. I bought a pair for my daughter (age 2) and was surprised at how quickly the sheepskin on the insole wore down - there are actual bare patches. We have not had this problem with her Soft Star shoes, so I'm not sure what's going on with the boots. Also, the lack of traction was a problem for her as well.
Sorry for the lengthy post. Hope this is useful for people.
Don't know how you crazy barefooting fellas and ladies up north do it! My toes are still thawing out from a run in VFF sprints a few hours ago.
Snowfooting for the first time.
Thanks to a cold wintery blast of air, we got a nice heavy snowfall here in the Ouachita mountain region of SW Arkansas, which gave me the opportunity to try out my newly found love of barefooting in the snow....I've been living a barefoot lifestyle since June, and this was the first time in my life I went walking in the snow in bare feet. All I can say is "I loved it".....the snow was far softer and more cushy then I ever expected, and not near as cold as I thought it was gonna be. I even found that I had a flat tire on my truck this morning and went outside and changed my tire in 24 degree temps and 4" of snow....Took me about 30 minutes I suppose, not counting the time I was visiting with my neighbor about the fact I was barefoot on such a frozen day, but I was fine...my feet were fine, and I loved the feeling. I wear shoes when I must, but barefoot is the best way to go.

Tinashe, "Joyride"
April 25th 2018 by Margaret Farrell
For those who have been tracking Tinashe's career closely, it feels like an eternity since the follow-up to her 2014 debut Aquarius was promised. Really, it's 0nly been four years, following release setbacks with her label RCA. In 2016, she appeased our impatience by releasing the mixtape Nightride, which—despite it's sultry and ethereal vibe, and her best single/video yet ("Company")—seemed like a curious consolation prize, intended to bide time before the "true" follow-up came.
The most irritating aspect of Tinashe's Joyride is that there was so much bubbling hype for a project we weren't entirely sure would happen—and frankly, a project that Tinashe herself didn't seem sure of. She ended up with three final album versions and over two-hundred songs. Ultimately, the result is disappointing. At first listen, the thirteen-track record is glittery and sexy in the way a new pair of high heels can be; but once the pictures are taken and the moment of anticipation passes, you're left with blisters and the feeling that they looked better on the shelf. Again, have you seen the "Company" video? The twenty-five-year-old was destined for wonderful and acrobatically astounding things. Joyride has a few fun and racy left turns, and moments where sunlight leaks through the car windows like liquid gold, but most of the time it just feels like the cruise control was left on too long.
Recently, Tinashe explained that she hates genre. To be even more explicit, she thinks that "genres should just die. As a human being, you don't limit yourself to being one thing or other." On Joyride, she has released herself from the categorical chains of the industry in order to make an album that is alternatingly hard and metallic, lush and iridescent. When done well, this newfound limitlessness is revitalizing. On "Ooh La La," she is confident and rosy-cheeked, commanding her lover to nestle beside her. Tinashe lets her vocals circle around a squeaking mattress sound and sensuous guitar line, as well as a sample from Nelly's 2002 hit "Dilemma." For "No Contest," her vocals reverberate into a cavernous abyss, safened against a tinny percussive drum, and on "Ain't Good for Ya" a pan flute flutters beside trap beats and garbled, warped vocals.
Tinashe is confident and proud here, but at the end of thirty-six minutes there doesn't seem to be a clear understanding of who she is; she's not undefinable in a liberating sense, but rather in one that feels unoriented. Maybe the message would be clearer without the big name features of Future, Offset, and Ty Dolla $ign. With the exception of Little Dragon's appearance on "Stuck with Me," the Top 40 rappers overshadow the singer's luminescence. Tinashe solidifies the notion that she can do it all on Joyride—she's a dancing/producing/powerhouse-singing triple threat. But even with the album's moments of fifteen-hundred-horsepower and her ability to navigate multiple terrains, Tinashe's final destination remains a mystery.

Foreigners are Fighting on Both Sides in Ukraine. But There's Little Proof.
Are there Russians fighting on the rebel side? Yes there are, we are also told that there are Serbs, French, Spaniards and so on. How about the other side? Well at least one American has been killed fighting on Kiev's side and there's a Swedish sniper. No doubt there are others. Are any of these sent by their governments? I doubt it.
There are many assertions that Russian soldiers and weaponry – ie serving soldiers sent by and with the approval of Moscow – are fighting in eastern Ukraine. As I have argued here, the evidence presented by NATO is nothing like what real evidence gathered by the all-seeing American intelligence assets would look like. Evidence, so laughably inadequate, in fact, that it's negative evidence: if this is the best they have, then they obviously have nothing. Again, believable, but no evidence.
We know NATO countries are providing the Kiev forces with "non-lethal equipment" because they say they are. ("Non-lethal equipment", by the way, is a concept designed to fool the simple-minded. There is no such thing: wars need beans, bullets and bandages; if beans are provided free of charge that leaves more money for bullets). Russia's aid convey is an example of providing beans, just as the US provision of MREs to the Kiev side is.
From where are the rebels getting their weaponry? Well they capture quite a lot: go to this website and see for yourself (destroyed on left, captured on right). Does Russia provide weapons from its stocks? Believable, but no evidence.
And that is really all that can be said with certainty about both halves of the charge.

Train strike due to roll into Sørlandet
Nearly half of all the trains running along Norway's southern coast will grind to a halt from Wednesday, after striking locomotive engineers decided to pull more of their colleagues off the job. The strike remains deadlocked, with no relief in sight for Oslo area commuters.
Commuters and other train passenger have faced hundreds of cancellations since a strike by locomotive engineers began September 28. PHOTO: newsinenglish.no
The labour federation representing the engineers decided on Friday to expand their strike after making no progress on their demands earlier this week. They'd already warned they would call more than the 118 engineers already off the job to join them on the picket lines. On Friday afternoon they announced that just six would walk off the job, but they all work on Sørlandsbanen, the line running from Oslo to Kristiansand and up to Stavanger.
"This will considerably affect train traffic on Sørlandsbanen," Rolf Ringdal, leader of the labour federation Norsk Lokomotivmannsforbund, told Norwegian Broadcasting (NRK). "It will hit around half its train service, halting two to four departures every day."
The locomotive engineers had refrained from expanding their strike last week, but it has continued to cause major challenges for around 20,000 commuters in the Oslo area. They've had to find other ways of getting back and forth to work, because of all the train cancellations on heavily trafficked lines like Østfoldbanen.
The strike that began in late September is frustrating many, with no sign of any settlement. Ringdal has claimed that management at state railway NSB has shown no willingness to meet the engineers' demands for a national training standard and insert it into their labour contract.
"Therefore we're expanding the strike," Ringdal told NRK. He claimed, though, that the engineers didn't want to hit the Oslo-area commuter lines any harder, so opted to call out NSB engineers based in Kristiansand instead.
The two sides met for new talks on Tuesday but failed to reach any agreement. State government leaders have also refrained from stepping in and halting the strike, claiming it poses no threat to life or health.
Commuters must thus brace for another week of full buses and slow, heavy vehicular traffic into Oslo from places like Follo and elsewhere in Østfold. Many commuters are tackling the strike by working odd hours, or from home if possible, while others are car-pooling, cycling and even walking long distances. Taxi drivers have also seen a boom in their business.

A virtual gift is a gif that will display on the lady's profile for 7 days. There is a wide variety of virtual gifts you can send: teddy bear, hearts, balloons, etc. It reminds the lady of your affection for her and her connection with you.


As you may or may not be aware, switches operate at layer 2 of the OSI model. Switches primarily use MAC addresses to manage and communicate with hosts that are attached to them. Switches help eliminate collisions by providing a single collision domain between the host and the switch. At the layer above, the network layer (layer 3) routers manage logical networks that use IP, and they also reduce broadcast domains. However, routers can be very expensive and are not always required for a smaller- to medium-size network. Over the past several years, newer switches that operate at both layers 2 and 3 of the OSI model have been developed that have characteristics of both switches and routers. One technology that these layer 3 switches, as they're called, implements are virtual LANs (VLANs).
VLANs are implemented by switches by creating artificial or virtual local area networks that are created in the configuration of the switch itself. Obviously because these Virtual LANs operate at layer 3, switches also have to use IP addresses in addition to MAC addresses. With a typical layer 2 switch, all hosts plugged into the switch are usually on the same LAN. With a layer 3 switch, however, it's possible to separate hosts into different logical or virtual local area networks. Two hosts can be plugged into two switch ports that are side-by-side, yet be on a totally different logical subnetwork. The switch is configured with different virtual LANs and the respective network IDs, and then hosts are assigned, based upon the switch port, to a particular VLAN.
There are several advantages to this setup. First, layer 3 switches are a lot less expensive than most routers. Second, some of the same fundamental functions that a router performs, such as reducing broadcast domains and routing to another network (within the same larger enterprise-level network), can be performed by these layer 3 switches. Those two advantages aside, there are also some good security reasons for implementing VLANs. Segmenting different hosts into different logical LANs can add to the security posture of the network because this allows administrators to separate sensitive traffic from different hosts. The administrator can also isolate certain hosts that have specialized security needs. From a network management and performance perspective, segmenting these hosts could help to conserve bandwidth by eliminating broadcast domains (something that normal layer 2 switches don't do), and would allow the administrator to change IP addressing schemes and configurations fairly easily as the network changes. That may be difficult to do when using hardware routers because you may have to physically add or change network interfaces on the router and change the actual router configuration whenever the IP addressing scheme on the network must change.
One other feature that makes VLANs so attractive in the network is the use of dynamic VLANs. Dynamic VLANs allow a switch port to be configured so that different hosts may be in different VLANs, based upon MAC address, username, and so on. So, if one computer plugs into the port, it may be in VLAN 1. If a different host, say a laptop, plugs into that same switch port, it is considered a member of VLAN 2 based upon its MAC address. Of course, this gives the administrator a great deal of flexibility over managing hosts on the switch, but it requires advanced configuration and planning.
So, there are several advantages to using layer 3 switches and VLANs. Keep in mind that there are still times when a router is required: usually to route traffic outside of the corporate network to the Internet, or to route internal network traffic that doesn't use VLANs.

Hey guys, it's Arlyn here (for anyone who hasn't been around for a few months, I'm the new Editorial Director at EHD…don't worry, Brady is still around, but he's the Creative Director now). Emily is zipping around the Pacific Northwest finalizing the install of the Portland project for the open house this weekend (if you're planning on attending, don't miss the flyer with some details at the end of this post), so I'm taking over the blog today to talk about a new trend in lighting we're all preeeeetty into right now. As you can tell from the title, petite bubble sconces have been on our radar as of late, and we were itching to share with you.
When you're designing a house, you go through A TON of ideas, options, inspirations. Revision after revision, board after Pinterest board. One day, you're convinced you only want, say, lantern-style lights, the next day you see a photo of a bathroom with a tiny little bubble sconce and BOOM, mind changed entirely. Well, maybe not ENTIRELY, but all of a sudden you're trying to find a way to fit your new fixation into your design for a room (rooms?).
They are minimal enough that you can use multiples without it being overwhelming.
They are so minimal that they actually stand out…it's like they are so understated that they actually are a statement. You know that "power" move of talking softly so people have to lean in to listen, hence giving you the upper hand? It's like that.
Depending on the brand, of course (because some of these can be PRICEY depending on the materials and craftsmanship), they tend to be pretty cost conscious.
So what exactly is a "micro bubble sconce"? Well, these are usually flushmount wall lights with exposed bulbs (either those really little ones or normal-sized bulbs) with some sort of wood or metal plate, and no wider than about 6 to 8 inches (though some that we love aren't much wider than 3 or 4 inches).
Mandy Moore's Pasadena home (which was featured last month in ) is the gift that keeps on giving. Her designer, the lovely , who worked on the project with architect Emily Farnham, used little bubble sconces in both her guest bathroom (above, from ) and master bath (below, from ). There's something just so unexpectedly stripped down about the teeny fixtures that we (and clearly SSS and MM) love. The question is…how well do they light a space, though (if anyone knows…please chime in below in the comments).
The bulb here itself isn't "micro," but the sconce overall is pretty subdued. The wood base on this is like a little surprise…from the front, it's just a simple white flushmount wall light, but from the side, it's so much more. If calling something a mullet was actually a compliment, I'd go that route, but I wouldn't dare insult these stunners with such a term.
Ummm, can we talk for just one second about that mirror hanging on a peg…fantastic. Okay, back to sconces. Everything about this vanity is pretty modern and simple, and the small flushmount sconces are the perfect addition to keep things streamlined.
Em had pinned this image as inspiration a while back, mostly because of those little bulb sconces on the walls. So simple, such a statement.
Here's another fun function of the micro sconce: you can use multiple and place them basically anywhere you want to create an artful arrangement. The one here feels like a constellation. I'd be interested to see what something like this would look like on a bare wall without mirrors.
There's a lot of good to take in here: the hardware, the paneling, the chandelier, and, of course…the brass sconce. The designer of this vignette could have easily flanked the floating console with a pair of wall lights, but the use of a single fixture off to the side feels almost sculptural on its own like that.
There doesn't appear to be too much wall space on either side of the mirror/medicine cabinet here, so sconces on the side walls were the smart choice. And because you don't want big ol' lights jutting out into your view of yourself brushing your teeth…enter the flushmount bubble sconce (that rosy mirror finish is great, btw).
This restaurant photo was also an inspiration to Emily (, I'm guessing she's really into those tiles). As lovely as the whole space is, I can't help but direct my attention to the single sconce on the wall. It draws my gaze like a magnet.
For anyone as into the micro bubble sconce trend as we are, we rounded up 32 of our favorites right now, broken up into two boards: under $150 and $150+. There are some picks here as low as $40…have fun!
What do you think? Are you loving the petite/micro bubble sconce look? Do you have any favorites from the roundups above? Where do you see yourself using these little guys? Let us know!
RE: The Portland home poster, why no high heels? And do you mean stilettos, or any heels whatsoever (say 2" equestrian style boots)? I can't go so I'm just asking because I'm really curious.
As to not wreck the new wood floors.
Yup! That's exactly why. Gotta keep those floors pristine for the buyer!
Yeppers. Lots of open houses provide booties, as well.
One more reason why I love your blog! I have seen those sconces on Pinterest lately, but did not pay too much attention to them. Thanks for officially introducing me to them and giving me all those options to purchase!
Also I would love to come to Portland, but it's too far for me. Have a fabulous event!
I am feeling the same way, just not into them.
Thank you – me three.
I didn't know what they were called, but totally looked at using micro bubble sconces in our bathroom remodel. I love how simple and sculptural they look but I was concerned they wouldn't give off enough light in our only bathroom and went a different route. Fun to see this roundup so soon after going through that decision-making process. Can't wait to see which ones you pick and how they're used!
Meh… I do kind of like them on the ceiling as an alternative to more industrial, cone shaped sort of semi flush mounts, but I definitely do not care for them on the walls. They are just so … round… and bubbly. Plus I've discovered the hard way that exposed bulbs around eye level aren't very livable for me personally.
That mirror hanging on the peg is from Blu Dot. I have a smaller version in my home and it is amazing in person.
Lucky enough to live about 3 miles from Blu Dot's Mpls outlet. They have several there now if you're local!
They're too much like the cheapo ceiling fixtures I've had in the laundry room/basement of every house I've ever lived in.
I really like the look of the ceiling and pendant versions of these but the ones on the wall just remind me of (a dressed up version of) the Hollywood dressing room lights that were everywhere in the 80's.
That was my thought also. Not into it.
Adorable. And, I loved the writing, Arlyn! It made me giggle a few times here at work (Tyra… etc.).
I really do love the minimal vibe of these sconces.
Seeing Sarah Sherman Samuel's progress shots during the Mandy Moore renovation really made me love these little sconces. I seriously considered buying them for my bathroom renovation and sourced a few I loved but in the end I was worried they wouldn't give off enough light and have chosen something else.
Our bathroom doesn't have any natural light and without an additional overhead fixture I thought only having 3 small single bubble sconces wouldn't cut it.
I am however thinking these might be super cute as a set of three above the kitchen sink to go along with our MCM style Globe Pendant lights from practical Props. Having so many options to choose from will make it way easier to coordinate with the existing pendant lights. Thanks for the round up!
I've just installed some similar ones in my 2 bathrooms. I have a simple, casual, industrial vibe going in this house and am on a very tight budget, so they work for me!
How are they for lighting in your bathrooms? How many did you install in each bathroom?
Eh. kinda cute and kinda look like fried eggs.
I'm most interested in how well they light the space when they're used by the bathroom sink. Otherwise, they're nice as accent lighting. I especially like the one with the brass frame off to the side of the floating console.
i often have a hard time determining what kind of bulbs to use with exposed fixtures. even some edison-type bulbs are too bright and blinding. can we get an "exposed bulb" round-up (super sexxxy topic, i know!)?
Came here just to make a similar comment/request! I'd love some good tips on finding, sizing, buying bulbs like this. It seems like an easy way to modernize a fixture as well.
Note: part of the reason for my request is that dimmable LED's in interesting shapes can be tricky!
You really have to check out this light hack we did. Kind of a bubble light but maybe more palatable for the masses from the comments I'm reading. We made these for about $21!!!
I did this exact same hack in my living room! Love the bulbs you used. Like others, I have a hard time finding bulbs that are bright enough but not blinding when exposed. Thanks for sharing!
I just can't. They are kinda cute, but I get flashbacks to those cheesy exposed bulbs around mirrors (Hollywood glam gone wrong). What was that 80's maybe? I like the pendant versions though!
Norton security product is simple to install throughout the website It provides quick support for Norton installation, activation and setup.
I like them! Thanks for the round up….I ve got a project that needs some.
cute today, but these things are going to look as dated as 1992 vanity lights in a couple years!
Hmm, remind me of baby dummies. Not a fan.
I'm 100% on board with this trend. There's a restaurant in our Denver neighborhood (Concourse Moderne) that has a single "micro bubble wall sconce" in each booth and I've always been a fan—but NEVER knew what they were called. Now I know! Really liking them on a bathroom mirror (I think the recent home tour in CA has them on the bathroom mirror) and in a dining room.
I think the gold grout in Mandy Moore's bathroom deserves it's own post. Woah!!!
Also, Arlyn, you have an amazing writing voice.
OMG those floors are INSANE and yes, we need to talk more about them.
And THANK YOU, that makes my day.
I love, love, love these! My favorite place for them would be as sconces when you go up the stairs. They can light up the space, and what I love about that placement is that you don't see wires under the lights as you are walking up.
This is such a nice post on use of sconces and its collection…..Thanks !

The fight to save lives at the world's deadliest race
By Dominic Smith @DomnicSmithy
ISLE OF MAN — Two hundred fifty-two people have died racing motorcycles here. There is no room for error at the TT.
Since 1907, the Isle of Man has hosted the "Tourist Trophy," or TT, a 37-mile motorcycle race that winds through this small British isle at speeds matching that of a high-speed train. The high-speed train has it easy. Riders here must navigate through hairpin bends, bumps, jumps, and manhole covers while passing perilously close to stone walls, buildings, and roadside spectators — at speeds approaching 200 mph.
Medical volunteers travel to the island each year to try to save lives. STAT had exclusive access to these track-side doctors, paramedics, and marshals as they worked. Two helicopters, six ambulances, and a medical response car cover the course and allow the team to respond to incidents within six minutes. (Despite their efforts, four riders died during this year's race.)
The race draws huge crowds and hundreds of riders from across the world to watch and take part in the spectacle.
"What the spectators see and the marshals and the medics see are riders doing things that are really a celebration of the human spirit," said Gareth Davies, codirector of Manx Roadracing Medical Services. "There is no rationale for a riding around this track as fast as you can — as much as there's no real rationale for climbing mountains as quickly as you can or as high as you can."
The Isle of Man TT is celebrating its 110th year in 2017, and the medical team remains a crucial part of keeping the race as safe as possible. Watch STAT's exclusive video now to see the challenges of delivering medicine under such extreme conditions.

Keith Williams says:
Sherwin, Google "Manx Motor sport medical services" an organisation set up but Dr David Stevens, they will be happy to talk to you if you are serious. As a trained TT marshal we are always reassured to have experienced medical staff nearby should an incident happen, we are trained but not, generally, experienced with severe trauma injuries. It is much improved from what it was was 15 or so years ago with a minimum of 550 marshals needed to be in place before a wheel is allowed to be turned on the circuit, most of them experienced and trained in incident management.
I myself raced the TT circuit for 11 years, each year I applied to do so and paid my entry fee, it was my decision to do it and feel privileged to have attained the qualification to have the experience of competing on such an iconic venue.
As long as people want to do it and others are willing to organise it, it should be allowed to carry on, if you don't get it or like it, well it is a big world go and do something else and stop trying to spoil other people's enjoyment.
Sherwin Waldman MD says:
I am an emergency physician and motorcycle rider. I have seen this race on TV and have been in awe. How do I volunteer. Send info please
David King says:
I have been twice and anyone interested in motorcycle's in any shape or form should go. It is the best. !! Plus the Island itself has so many other attractions. Make sure its on your bucket list,
how many People have Died while Fishing. at least we Know motor cycle racing is or can be Dangerous, these guys know what they are doing it is their risk and choice.
I'm sorry but this made want to go there even more 🙂
Kyle, Go ,you will have a ball.!!
It's a nice place to stay. Next they will tell us what to eat & drink next
They can bog off.

Happy Hallows' Eve! As Anne and I prepare to watch the ever-important Chicago Cubs game tonight, I thought I'd share the recipe for some cookies we made this weekend. They are from The Salty Marshmallow and are the perfect Halloween-themed treat. It's not too late to make some yourself. Maybe as you cheer on the Cubs?!
The secret to these cookies is that they include Butterfinger baking bits. Think chocolate candy-meets-homemade-baked-good. Yup. You're welcome!
If you have trick-or-treat candy lingering into the week, you could crush anything and mix it into this delicate and chewy peanut butter cookie dough. Kit Kats, Snickers, Reese's cups, M&Ms… The list goes on.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper and set aside.
Whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In an electric mixer, beat butter and peanut butter until fluffy. Add egg and beat until incorporated. Beat in sugars and vanilla. While the mixer is running, slowly add in the dry ingredients. Mix until incorporated. Stir in Butterfinger baking bits.
Use a spring-loaded scooper to create tablespoon-sized balls of dough. Drop onto prepared baking sheets. Press down slightly with the back of a spoon to flatten.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until bottoms are a light golden brown. Remove even if cookies do not appear completely baked. Let cool for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack.
Looks great! Send a bushel to the cubs!


Every so often, when new employees are hired, I do a half-our one-on-one orientation session to explain what the information security officer role is all about. Previously, I used to go in with some talking points and engage the new employee in an open and unstructured discussion, but since I seems to be spending more time in meetings of this kind lately, I decided to capture my current situation in a diagram. I have written about roles and responsibilities of an information security function in the past, and much of what I posted in the past is replicated in this diagram, but there may be some new observations.
Starting at the bottom-left is the "information security cycle". It is based on many bodies of knowledge, but it has been slightly adjusted to fit my needs. An information security function cannot be effective if it is just reactive. Most of the work should be focused on things like identifying enterprise goals, deriving information security goals from them and to come up with strategies to achieve those goals. Some of initiatives should be captured in policies, and all policies should work towards reaching these goals. All of this happens in the "prepare" phase. The prepare phase also includes implementing technical controls, such as developing a monitoring infrastructure, setting up preventative technical controls, etc.
Since building an infrastructure that is capable of reporting on what is going on is actually only useful when someone is listening for the information it provides, the next phase of the security cycle is the detection phase. The goal of the detection phase is to watch all the information coming in, correlate the information, and look for signs of anomalies. Once anomalies have been detected and cannot be ruled out easily as false positives, we move to the respond phase.
The respond phase is where a lot of organization focus all of their efforts. It consists of incident response, investigation, forensics, cleanup, etc. After finishing up the response phase, we work on bringing operations back to normal in the recovery phase, and we reflect on what we can do better in the learn phase. All of these phases feed into each other, but conceptually, you can view them as a continuing circle.
Managing this whole process is the job of the (chief) information security officer. He or she does so by establishing the information security strategy and the information security policies with the help of stakeholder groups. The stakeholder groups should have organization wide representation (on the right), as well as be carried widely by the IT department (on the left).
Once the foundation of strategy and policy has been established, the CISO can work by building out functional areas, such as risk management and compliance, security monitoring, incident response, awareness training and business continuity. Not all of these functional areas have to be executed by the CISO's staff, but they should be involved in all of these.
Using this chart as a starting point for a conversation has proven to be very valuable, and it has elevated the level of discussion that I was able to have with new employees. If you find it useful, feel free to tailor it for use in your own organization.

A very lively day at White Fields Nursery. The energetic little children were engaged to "Karate". It's not just about kicking and punching, the unlimited benefits of this martial arts movements is over whelming.. Focusing and Listening plays a key role in the mindset of children who have limited attention spans at this stage in their life. Teaching children to focus on the task at hand while improving their listening and reaction. The children participated actively and perseveringly.
The morning prior to their Karate class, was full of learning activities.
The children had a practice review on literacy and numeracy in preparation to their new ventures to big schools. At White Fields Nursery, children are equipped with knowledge and prepared to go to the next level of their schooling.
enriched their creativity building a snow hat for their craft activity.
Stay focus, happy little children!
