Id barely recovered from last week's trip to Washington, DC when I got a fabulous call to come tape a segment for the PBS show, Scrapbook Soup. I'd chatted with the producer months before….but like so many things, it was kind of in a holding pattern and nothing was set. So I scrambled to get some product together for a quick segment on adaptive tools for the scrapbooker.
On the set of Scrapbook Soup with host Julie McGuffee.
More on that later on….
For now, let's recap the Week in Review- shall we?
a walk-through of the Little Yellow Bicycle "Saturday" and Paradise collections from #TeamCTD writer Sara on Monday. She's ga-ga over both- which do you like better?
a Tuesday post in which #TeamCTD writer Jen kicked the tires on Decou-Page by DecoArt. It's a glue-and-sealer product, and reportedly non-sticky when it dries!
my own take of a "green" craft product review- Recycled Scissors by X-Acto brand. Great for Earth Day!
the lovely Vicki reviewing the book "More Fabric Art Collage" by Rebekah Meier. You should also click over to her site to see the full project she made using the book. Gorgeous!
..and a review (with a video) of Puffy Putty from ColorSplash for S&S Worldwide. It's a super lightweight, air-drying modeling clay that is much less expensive than the other brands. Check out how I used it.
I also posted a great Earth Day (or early Mother's Day/ Father's Day) gift idea, a tutorial for Luggage Accessories made from men's neckties! Would you have guessed?
Lastly, we had a giveaway of Puffy Putty from S&S Worldwide. Our winners are….
CONGRATS!! Of course, if you didn't win last weeks giveaway, there is always this week: We've got a wonderful DecoArt Prize pack and we'll draw a winner for that next week!
And as always, thanks for leaving comments, chiming in on my Facebook Page, tweeting back on twitter, and re-pinning the goodness on Pinterest! And have you subscribed on YouTube yet? See the reviews before the show up on the blog!
Congrats on your appearance on SS! Look forward to seeing it!

← An Update on Using Commas with Etc.


We all want our hair looking Hollywood movie set ready most days but let's be honest, sometimes it just has a mind of its own. If we broke down what it meant to have hair like the stars what we're really talking about is bouncy body, luscious volume, and a flawless appearance without breaks or split ends. While some of us are blessed with the perfect genetic composition for such hair, is there a way for the rest of the ladies to have their hair looking great without an actress' salary?
If you tallied up all the money you've spent on hair care products and their various promises in your lifetime, you might come up with a number close to what Demi Moore makes in a year. It's hard to find something that actually works, and information on the internet never seems to agree on which one is actually going to give you the results without doing lasting damage. Well, have you heard about using products that feature Keratin for hair?
If you already know what keratin is, feel free to skip ahead to the next section. Keratin is a fibrous protein that is found naturally right inside the main structural makeup of our hair, and nails as well. In the world of hair maintenance, it is infused into the hair via a product to strengthen the hair and improve its overall appearance.
Keratin treatments are something you can get at the salon or do yourself at home with shampoos, conditioners, and other treatment products. This Keratin amino complex in the product penetrates the hair to naturally thicken each strand while repairing the outer protective layer. That means there's two benefits in one without any added chemicals often found in gimmicky treatments.
Since your hair is naturally producing Keratin to keep itself growing, giving it an extra boost of the protein will help anyone with thin or limp hair see a visible improvement in both their volume and body. Meanwhile, the added layer of protection works against and repairs split ends, frizz, and breakage while giving the hair a radiant shine. Whether you're looking to end the days of thin, limp hair or to finally have a healthy glow, Keratin is going to make a noticeable difference.
One of the biggest concerns on the internet today is whether or not the Keratin straightening treatments we can get at a good salon are safe or not. They have been found to contain a chemical known as formalin that, when treated with heat above 450 degrees, can turn back into the cancer causing formaldehyde. It is important to differentiate between these Keratin treatments and products that contain Keratin, though.
While the salon treatment is up for debate, no one is arguing that a shampoo or conditioner with added Keratin is anything but beneficial for your hair being that it is already naturally occurring in our hair to begin with. That means no formalin or any other ridiculous chemical the FDA, for whatever reason, allows in smaller doses. So, if you're wondering about the safety of in-home use Keratin products then take a sigh of relief, they're safe!

Flight Facilities Return With First New Song In Three Years, 'Arty Boy'
Written by Tom Williams on June 21, 2017
Purveyors of Aussie electro-pop, Flight Facilities (Jimmy Lyell and Hugo Gruzman to their mums), have returned with their first new song in three years. It's called 'Arty Boy', and it features their old m8 and collaborator Emma Louise on vocals.
'Arty Boy' (below) is the first new material since the duo's latest album Down To Earth, and their live album with the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra.
The song's music video was directed by German collective Jünglinge, and is a kind of mini-documentary about an Irani-German couple who are old friends of Arnold Schwarzenegger and happen to run a bodybuilding bath house.
Speaking with triple j yesterday, Flight Facilities said they're currently sitting on "around 60" new songs as they work towards their next major project. They were also spotted in the studio with New Zealand duo Broods earlier this year.
Watch the video for 'Arty Boy', below.

Coloring Sheets Of Animals – Children are fascinated by colors. Since they are relatively new to this world, and are exceedingly curious and perceptive, they consider each fresh hue and color to be exquisite and exceptional, unlike us, who've learned to consider all the colors in the globe for granted, and do not even appear twice at any new shade as such, believing it to become just another part of the surrounding environment.

It's not possible right now, user.create generates the next available uid and uses it. Any particular reason you want to overwrite it?
@baris do you have any suggestions for my purpose ?
@julian it's only some days i'm using nodebb and i'm new to redis too, do you mean create a new field in user table ? If so how do ?
In the fork of your login plugin, you should be able to save the remoteId into the user hash on the user.create call.
@Simos what you just posted is what Julian referred to by "user hash". He was saying "hash table" otherwise called an object or a dictionary.
I suppose it don't add the remoteid value because remoteid field doesn't exist right ?
You will need a plugin to save the remoteid into the user hash, so in your plugin listen for 'filter:user.create' here is how it should look.
Thanks ! Why i can get it with user.getUserFields but not with user.getUser ?
.getUserField() should work, though you will need to implement the whitelist as @baris has mentioned.
Yeah you'll have to save a map of auids to uids in the database.
@PitaJ is there any example of code for this ?
@Simos what have you tried so far?
@julian I've try only user.getUserDataByField function than i've discovered is limited.
Yes, you can use that method. You just need to create a plugin hook listener to the whitelist hook @baris mentioned, so you can add the remoteId to the whitelisted fields.
Depending on the plugin hook, the uid is included in the payload.
@Mega Thanks Mega! I know this can work, I expect the formal release for this.

Rick Miller's New Show Is Just OK, Boomer
Miller leads a multimedia trip across three tumultuous decades at 59E59.
The day the music died, as depicted in Rick Miller's Boom at 59E59.
(© Paul Lampert)
I'm gonna get OK, millennialed for this, but Rick Miller's Boom, which explores the cultural shifts during the boomer generation, is just OK. The people saying that to me will be the audience members at 59E59, many of whom experienced the tumultuous time period of 1945-69 firsthand and sit rapt for the duration of Miller's 130-minute solo show. While I admired his efforts to explore the past and connect it to the present, it's too silly to have the impact he clearly desires.
The overall focus is the entwined story of three figures in Miller's personal history: his mother, Maddie, born into a strict conservative family in Cobourg, Ontario; Viennese immigrant Rudi, who forever dreams of an American life; and Laurence, an African-American blues musician from Chicago who emigrates to Toronto to avoid the draft. On their own, the stories illuminate three very different post-World War II lives. Taken together, they symbolize the breadth of the baby boom era, with its volatile politics, Asian wars, looming bomb threats, picket fences, fancy cars, and rock and roll.
Miller did not give himself an easy task; along with writing, directing, and producing Boom, he is also its sole performer, voicing all hundred-odd characters himself. That list ranges from his mother and her friends to five presidents, two beloved news anchors, several cartoon characters, and at least a dozen music icons, singing the briefest of snippets of hits like "Great Balls of Fire," "Piece of My Heart," and "With a Little Help From My Friends." The design is chic (particularly Bruno Matte's stylish lighting and David Leclerc's multimedia projections), there is a lot going on, and it all moves very quickly.
Because Miller has so much ground to cover, Boom ends up becoming all about style and little about substance. As a slice of history, it's about as profound as "We Didn't Start the Fire" or one of those old VH1 "I Love the…" decade specials, skimming the surface but rarely going deep. He also does a disservice by not letting the figures involved speak (or sing) for themselves, since though he's a good impressionist, he's no Rich Little. (His imitations of non-Caucasian figures like Jawaharlal Nehru and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. teeter on the border of racist.) He does a pretty good Bugs Bunny, though.
That Bugs Bunny impression is basically emblematic of Boom's tone as a whole, a piece that has a far more interesting story at its core than all the accessories around it would lead you to believe. It's a well-meaning piece of theater that feels too much like a cartoon to really have a strong impact.

"The Best Games You've Never Heard Of"
By Scott Price on April 11, 2009 11:06 AM | No Comments | No TrackBacks
Last weekend I attended I-CON 28, a pan-geek convention on Long Island. Sci-fi, fantasy, anime, furries, you name it and they're there. It's often odd not merely by design but because it's both large and small-- large enough to have been running for 28 years and to often get some decent Guests of Honor, but small enough to have an "e-gaming" track of six people and to include me among them.
This year I was on a panel called "The Best Games You've Never Heard Of." I've got some thoughts on the panel below the jump, but what's really worth relating is the list of games that the panelists made. I *tried* to get every one mentioned, but I'm sure I missed a few. Add your own!
Beyond the jump: the list, and thoughts on it.
Space Giraffe -on XBLA - a trippy Tempest-like game where the visuals get so busy that you end up having to play with the barnyard sound effects. How many iTunes visualizers have gameplay?
Internal Section- for the PS 1 as an import - described as Tempest + Rez
Love Love 2, or Love Love Mine - for the PS 1 - which combines the unlikely activities of mine cart racing, sandwich making, and a dating sim
MDK 2 - for the DreamCast - 1 was mentioned, but apparently was not One Of The Best
The Path - for PC - A Little Red Riding Hood horror game with an unusual focus on storytelling
Word Image Sound Play - for PS 2 as import - a music toy as much as a game, though I can't find any good English-language pages for.
IGI - a supposed GameMaker game, which I can't find anything for.
Cursor 10 - webgame - every move in the game is recorded, and when you run out of time (which you will), you'll have to collaborate with your past selves.
Food Fight - Atari arcade game - I don't remember what folks raved about with this.
Shadow of the Colossus - for PS 2 - I'm amazed that people haven't heard of this, but a bunch haven't. I'm not the only person who considers this one example of high art in video games.
BioShock - has anyone interested in games right now NOT heard of this? Many people might be fooled into thinking that it's not great, though, by the fact that it's ANOTHER first person shooter that's all about grit and gore. Well, that and Objectivism.
GuitarooMan - PS 2 and now PSP - music action game in the vein of Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan or Elite Beat Agents
Cool Cool Tune - for PS 2 - ironically, its music is terrible; it's the gameplay that rocks
Panzer Dragoon Saga, - for the Sega Saturn - makes the list for its ending.
Then we got talking about Lonely Games (which include Shadow of the Colossus) - I probably have an entry pending on these down the road, but for now:
Aquaria - for Mac - as the last of the Atlanteans Aquarians find out what happened to your people
Flower - for PS 3 - almost more an aesthetic experience than a game - fly through a landscape as the wind
Knytt - for PC - explore haunting and beautiful landscapes to find pieces of your spaceship to return home
Echochrome - for PSP - an MCEscher topological puzzler
Blastworks - for Wii - a shooter where everything you destroy can become part of you, and which comes with a level editor
Carnival - this was mentioned, but I have no idea which of many games with a title like this is One Of The Best.
The Maw - for XBLA and PC - super cute and with good gameplay and serial content? Sounds good... though lots have folks have heard about it since PAX.
Zombie Smashers X - for PC - River City Ransom plus Zombies? I'm skeptical, but it was mentioned.
Achievement Unlocked - webgame - "Who needs gameplay when you have achievements?"
PacMan Championship Edition - on XBLA - a successful rethink/remix of the classic game
Space Invaders Extreme - for DS and PSP - a remix/rethink of the classic game
Unreleased - I have mixed feelings about listing unreleased games as "best anything", but they do look like they'll be interesting, and they were mentioned.
The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom - for PC - Control time in order to eat pies! A temporal puzzler
The Unfinished Swan - for PC - Use a paint gun to make terrain visible in a 3D puzzler. Gorgeous, if as yet a bit unfocused.
Achron - for PC - a real-time strategy game using time travel
Fez - for PC - swap between dimensions to get from point A to point B
So, looking back over that list, it's really more a list of "cool indie games" and I'd be reluctant to give it the credit of being the "best ever" that you've never heard of. Some of them aren't even out yet! But the panelists are a well-played group overall, so there were a lot of really cool games there that, indeed, the audience had never played. So: success!
I was a bit nervous, because I don't consider myself that well read on the history of games. I've played my games, and over the last few years I've learned how to search out excellent indie games. But often what older conventions want is a comprehensive historical knowledge that I just don't have in games. I had an NES, and a SuperNES, but I did not have an Atari, or an intact Sinclair. I don't know the catalog of Japanese import games. Fortunately the audience didn't seem to mind-- there's still a couple months' worth of play in that list!

WHO Warns Against Complacency in the Fight Against Leprosy
The fight against leprosy has made great progress in the past two decades but complacency may now be threatening the last push toward a world free of this debilitating disease, the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on the opening day of the International Leprosy Summit.
The three-day summit, held July 24-26, 2013, organized by WHO and the Nippon Foundation, brought health ministers from eight countries and global experts to discuss the current leprosy situation and strategies for further reducing the disease burden and realizing a leprosy-free world.
The development of multidrug therapy in the 1980s effectively cured 16 million people in the past 20 years. But in many countries where the disease is endemic, new case-detection rates have been either static or showing increases. Globally, every 2 minutes, a new case of leprosy is detected and 7 out of every 10 cases is a child. Misinformation about leprosy is common and the disease continues to be shrouded in stigma with communities shunning patients even after they are cured.
Our challenge is to sustain the quality of leprosy services and to ensure that all persons affected by leprosy, wherever they live, have an equal opportunity to be diagnosed early and treated by competent health workers, says Dr. Samlee Plianbangchang, regional director, WHO South-East Asia. While weve covered a lot of ground in reducing the disease burden in all endemic countries, there is no room for complacency. The final battle against leprosy is yet to be won.
Yohei Sasakawa, chairman of the Nippon Foundation and WHO Goodwill Ambassador for Leprosy Elimination, agreed with Plianbangchangand cautioned that the remaining challenges are becoming increasingly more difficult and complex.
The target populations are living in difficult to reach areas such as urban slums, border areas and ethnic minority areas. Moreover, available resources in each country have declined, Sasakawa says.
He called on all parties involved to make political commitments and contribute resources and expertise to the fight against leprosy. To this end the Nippon Foundation will be committing $20 million for the next five years, Sasakawa announced.
Since 1995, WHO has been providing free multidrug therapy (MDT) to all patients worldwide. This was initially funded through The Nippon Foundation and, since 2000, through the MDT donation provided by the Novartis Foundation for Sustainable Development. Nearly 16 million people have been cured of leprosy using MDT and more than 10 million people have been prevented from developing visible deformities.
The number of highly endemic countries has gone down from 122 in 1985 to less than 20. However, despite significant progress, leprosy continues to be a health concern in these endemic pockets.
In 2012 there were 232 850 new cases of leprosy reported, with 94% of these cases restricted to 15 endemic countries - many of them in South-East Asia and Africa. This represents an increase of 6224 cases since 2011. Additionally, the number of people with leprosy who sought treatment only once theyd already developed visible deformities increased from 13079 in 2011 to 14409 in 2012. This is indicative of the need to detect cases early to prevent deformities among new cases.
Significant gender inequities remain in reaching leprosy-affected persons, especially when it comes to case detection. Although the distribution of disease is likely to be even between women and men, leprosy is detected in a lower percentage of women.
In order to bridge these gaps, and ensure that leprosy work continues on the path to further reduce the global disease burden, more work needs to be done. WHO is advocating prompt treatment with MDT and allocating more resources to facilitate early case detection. This can be accomplished by training existing health workers to recognize and treat leprosy, which will help detect new cases earlier and remove leprosys status as a special or feared disease. Community awareness is also important in encouraging health seeking behaviour among the general public.
Lastly, discrimination and stigma remain a huge issue for leprosy-affected persons. Many countries still have outdated laws from the 1800s which, for example, list leprosy as grounds for divorce or forbid persons with leprosy from running for office or obtaining a drivers license -- even after they have been treated. Several countries, however, have led the way in repealing these laws. In 2011 Bangladesh enacted a bill repealing discriminatory laws directed against persons with leprosy and the United Kingdom removed visa restrictions in time for the 2012 Olympic Games. Discriminatory laws and regulations against leprosy-affected people continue, depriving them of many legal rights and social entitlements, and in fact jeopardizing their basic human rights, cautions Plianbangchang.

Nintendo have today confirmed that NES classic Punch Out is set to release through the 3DS Virtual Console service in Japan.
This won't be a 3D Classics release, however, and will appear in its NES original form. Nintendo confirmed that it'll arrive on February 1st, priced at 500 Yen.
There's no word as yet as to whether a European or North American release is planned.


Applicants for a number of visas are to be given more choice in English language testing. Even if you have a passport that exempts you from English language testing (UK, USA, Canada, Ireland or New Zealand) you may want to have an English test for additional points towards a points based skilled employment visa!
From November 2014, people applying for Temporary Graduate, Skilled, Work and Holiday and Former Resident visas will be able to provide the department with a test score from the Test of English as a Foreign Language internet-based test (TOEFL iBT) or the Pearson Test of English Academic. These tests are in addition to the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) and the Occupational English Test (OET) currently used.
A final implementation date in November will be published on the Immigration department's website later this year. Scores from these additional tests will be benchmarked against the IELTS equivalency. A list of the visa subclasses accepting scores from the alternative tests and a summary of test score equivalencies is available on the Department's website here.
The department will also be able to accept scores from the Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) test from early 2015, and later in the year further details will be published. Scores from a Cambridge English: Advanced (CAE) test taken before the 2015 implementation date will not be accepted by the department.
It is not currently known if applicants for the 457 visa will be able to provide the Department with scores from these alternative tests, because the subclass 457 programme is being independently reviewed. The review is expected to report to government by mid-2014.
