The Scan and the Export
Sean Dockray
The scan is an ambivalent image. It oscillates back and forth: between a physical page and a digital file, between one reader and another, between an economy of objects and an economy of data. Scans are failures in terms of quality, neither as "readable" as the original book nor the inevitable ebook, always containing too much visual information or too little.
Technically speaking, it is by scanning that one can make a digital representation of a physical object, such as a book. When a representation of that representation (the image) appears on a digital display device, it hovers like a ghost, one world haunting another. But it is not simply the object asserting itself in the milieu of light, information, and electricity. Much more is encoded in the image: indexes of past readings and the act of scanning itself.
An incomplete inventory of modifications to the book through reading and other typical events in the life of the thing: folded pages, underlines, marginal notes, erasures, personal symbolic systems, coffee spills, signatures, stamps, tears, etc. Intimacy between reader and text marking the pages, suggesting some distant future palimpsest in which the original text has finally given way to a mass of negligible marks.
Whereas the effects of reading are cumulative, the scan is a singular event. Pages are spread and pressed flat against a sheet of glass. The binding stretches, occasionally to the point of breaking. A camera driven by a geared down motor slides slowly down the surface of the page. Slight movement by the person scanning (who is also a scanner; this is a man-machine performance) before the scan is complete produces a slight motion blur, the type goes askew, maybe a finger enters the frame of the image. The glass is rarely covered in its entirety by the book and these windows into the actual room where the scanning is done are ultimately rendered as solid, censored black. After the physical scanning process comes post-production. Software—automated or not—straightens the image, corrects the contrast, crops out the useless bits, sharpens the text, and occasionally even attempts to read it. All of this computation wants to repress any traces of reading and scanning, with the obvious goal of returning to the pure book, or an even more Platonic form.
That purified, originary version of the text might be the e-book. Publishers are occasionally skipping the act of printing altogether and selling the files themselves, such that the words reserved for "well-scanned" books ultimately describe e-books: clean, searchable, small (i.e., file size). Although it is perfectly understandable for a reader to prefer aligned text without smudges or other markings where "paper" is nothing but a pure, bright white, this movement towards the clean has its consequences. Distinguished as a form by the fact that it is produced, distributed, and consumed digitally, the e-book never leaves the factory.
A minimal gap is, however, created between the file that the producer uses and the one that the consumer uses—imagine the cultural chaos if the typical way of distributing books were as Word documents!—through the process of exporting. Whereas scanning is a complex process and material transformation (which includes exporting at the very end), exporting is merely converting formats. But however minor an act, this conversion is what puts a halt to the writing and turns the file into a product for reading. It is also at this stage that forms of "digital rights management" are applied in order to restrict copying and printing of the file.
Sharing and copying texts is as old as books themselves—actually, one could argue that this is almost a definition of the book—but computers and the Internet have only accelerated this activity. From transcription to tracing to photocopying to scanning, the labour and material costs involved in producing a copy has fallen to nothing in our present digital file situation. Once the scan has generated a digitized version of some kind, say a PDF, it easily replicates and circulates. This is not aberrant behaviour, either, but normative computer use: copy and paste are two of the first choices in any contextual menu. Personal file storage has slowly been migrating onto computer networks, particularly with the growth of mobile devices, so one's files are not always located on one's equipment. The act of storing and retrieving shuffles data across machines and state lines.
A public space is produced when something is shared—which is to say, made public—but this space is not the same everywhere or in all circumstances. When music is played for a room full of people, or rather when all those people are simply sharing the room, something is being made public. Capitalism itself is a massive mechanism for making things public, for appropriating materials, people, and knowledge and subjecting them to its logic. On the other hand, a circulating library, or a library with a reading room, creates a public space around the availability of books and other forms of material knowledge. And even books being sold through shops create a particular kind of public, which is quite different from the public that is formed by bootlegging those same books.
It would appear that publicness is not simply a question of state control or the absence of money. Those categorical definitions offer very little to help think about digital files and their native tendency to replicate and travel across networks. What kinds of public spaces are these, coming into the foreground by an incessant circulation of data?
Two paradigmatic forms of publicness can be described through the lens of the scan and the export, two methods for producing a digital text. Although neither method necessarily results in a file that must be distributed, such files typically are. In the case of the export, the system of distribution tends to be through official, secure digital repositories; limited previews provide a small window into the content, which is ultimately accessible only through the interface of the shopping cart. On the other hand, the scan is created by and moves between individuals, often via improvised and itinerant distribution systems. The scan travels from person to person, like a virus. As long as it passes between people, that common space between them stays alive. That space might be contagious; it might break out into something quite persuasive, an intimate publicness becoming more common.
The scan is an image of a thing and is therefore different from the thing (it is digital, not physical, and it includes indexes of reading and scanning), whereas a copy of the export is essentially identical to the export. Here is one reason there will exist many variations of a scan for a particular text, while there will be one approved version (always a clean one) of the export. A person may hold in his or her possession a scan of a book but, no matter what publishers may claim, the scan will never be the book. Even if one was to inspect two files and find them to be identical in every observable and measurable quality, it may be revealed that these are in fact different after all: one is a legitimate copy and the other is not. Legitimacy in this case has nothing whatsoever to do with internal traits, such as fidelity to the original, but with external ones, namely, records of economic transactions in customer databases.
In practical terms, this means that a digital book must be purchased by every single reader. Unlike the book, which is commonly purchased, read, then handed it off to a friend (who then shares it with another friend and so on until it comes to rest on someone's bookshelf) the digital book is not transferable, by design and by law. If ownership is fundamentally the capacity to give something away, these books are never truly ours. The intimate, transient publics that emerge out of passing a book around are here eclipsed by a singular, more inclusive public in which everyone relates to his or her individual (identical) file.
Recently, with the popularization of digital book readers (a device for another man-machine pairing), the picture of this kind of publicness has come into greater definition. Although a group of people might all possess the same file, they will be viewing that file through their particular readers, which means surprisingly that they might all be seeing something different. With variations built into the device (in resolution, size, colour, display technology) or afforded to the user (perhaps to change font size or other flexible design elements), familiar forms of orientation within the writing disappear as it loses the historical structure of the book and becomes pure, continuous text. For example, page numbers give way to the more abstract concept of a "location" when the file is derived from the export as opposed to the scan, from the text data as opposed to the physical object. The act of reading in a group is also different—"Turn to page 24" is followed by the sound of a race of collective page flipping, while "Go to location 2136" leads to finger taps and caresses on plastic. Factions based on who has the same edition of a book are now replaced by those with people who have the same reading device.
If historical structures within the book are made abstract then so are those organizing structures outside of the book. In other words, it's not simply that the book has become the digital book reader, but that the reader now contains the library itself! Public libraries are on the brink of being outmoded; books are either not being acquired or they are moving into deep storage; and physical spaces are being reclaimed as cafes, restaurants, auditoriums, and gift shops. Even the concept of donation is thrown into question: when most public libraries were being initiated a century ago, it was often women's clubs that donated their collections to establish the institution; it is difficult to imagine a corresponding form of cultural sharing of texts within the legal framework of the export. Instead, publishers might enter into a contract directly with the government to allow access to files from computers within the premises of the library building. This fate seems counter-intuitive, considering the potential for distribution latent in the underlying technology, but even more so when compared to the "traveling libraries" at the turn of the twentieth century, which were literally small boxes that brought books to places without libraries (most often, rural communities).
Many scans, in fact, are made from library books, which are identified through a stamp or a sticker somewhere. (It is not difficult to see how the scan is closely related to the photocopy, such that they are now mutually evolving technologies.) Although it circulates digitally, like the export, the scan is rooted in the object and is never complete. In a basic sense, scanning is slow and time-consuming (photocopies were slow and expensive), and it requires that choices are made about what to focus on. A scan of an entire book is rare—really a labour of love and endurance; instead, scanners excerpt from books, pulling out the most interesting, compelling, difficult-to-find, or useful bits. They skip pages. The scan is partial, subjective. You and I will scan the same book in different ways. An analogy: they are not prints from the same negative, but entirely different photographs of the same subject. Our scans are variations, perhaps competing (if we scanned the same pages from the same edition), but, more likely, functioning in parallel.
Completists prefer the export, which has a number of advantages from their perspective: the whole book is usually kept intact as one unit, the file; file sizes are smaller because the files are based more on the text than an image; the file is found by searching (the Internet) as opposed to searching through stacks, bookstores, and attics; it is at least theoretically possible to have every file. Each file is complete and the same everywhere, such that there should be no need for variations. At present, there are important examples of where variations do occur, notably efforts to improve metadata, transcode out of proprietary formats, and to strip DRM restrictions. One imagines an imminent future where variations proliferate based on an additive reading—a reader makes highlights, notations, and marginal arguments and then re-distributes the file such that someone's "reading" of a particular text would generate its own public, the logic of the scan infiltrating the export.

Injury Fact Sheet: Dancer's Tendonitis
By Lauren Warnecke on November 17, 2012
Flexor hallucis longus | Photo credit: Gray's Anatomy (public domain)
Flexor hallucis longus (FHL) tendonopathy (or tendonitis) is an overuse injury in which repetitive plantarflexion and dorsiflexion (pointing and flexing) of the foot lead to inflammation of the FHL tendon. This tendon originates in the middle of the posterior fibula and runs down the back of the ankle along the bottom of the foot to insert at the joint between the great toe and the first metatarsal. The site of inflammation is typically in the back of the ankle at the point when the tendon runs behind the talus through a fibrosseous tunnel.
Dancer's tendonitis is more common in female ballet dancers who spend a lot of time en pointe or demi pointe. FHL tendonitis may occur as a primary condition, or as a secondary condition of os trigonum impingement syndrome. Failure to properly treat inflammation can result in a nodule (obstruction of the fibrous tunnel the tendon runs through) or partial or complete tear of the tendon.
If FHL tendonitis is diagnosed, refrain from pointe work until the inflammation subsides. Also, take an inventory of the dancer's technique–especially the alignment of the feet. Forcing turnout to the extreme causes the inner ridge of the foot to roll in, which can either lead to or exacerbate FHL tendonitis. Conservative treatments include anti-inflammatory drugs, ice and physical therapy. Surgery should be a last result when all other approaches fail. Recovery from FHL surgery can take over 3 months and permanently reduces the range of motion in the sagital plane (pointing and flexing).
Of note:
The FHL is also used in taking off and landing from jumps. FHL inflammation can also be caused by repetitive jumping (especially if the dancer fails to press the heels into the floor), or spend long amounts of time in grand plié. FHL Tendonitis can also occur as a secondary condition in dancers with bunions.
FHL tendonitis is sometimes mistakenly diagnosed as posterior tibial tendonitis, as both are characterized by tenderness at the posteromedial ankle (soft area between the "ankle bone" and heel on the inside of the leg). A consequence of FHL tendonitis is functional hallux rigidus, in which the dancer is unable to complete a full demi pointe due to reduced dorsiflexion at the metatarsophalangeal (MTP) joint with knee extension and ankle doriflexion.

What about injection of numbing agent and steroids to the site?
Shelly, steroid injections such as cortisone provide temporary relief, but are a controversial treatment. Some research suggests that long-term use of cortisone can lead to permanent damage. It also may lead to further injury because it masks symptoms but does not aid in recovery. For that reason, I do not include it here. Thank you for commenting!
Joe Cascio says:
My daughter seems to have this problem. Has had x-ray and MRI done with some physical therapy and has stopped dancing pointe for 5 months but not dance all together. She takes all different types of classes and all totaled spends 15 hours at the studio a week, a bit more during nutcracker season. just came from a third doc (specializes in sports foot injuries)… tendinitis it is and is making her foot immobile, in a boot for 4 weeks and then some therapy again. oh.. forgot to mention dancing since 4 years old and in now 15 going on 16. could you tell me (your best opinion on) how much of this is technique? and how much it is just her body and overuse? Trying to chart the best course of action moving forward. she does have some talent and has been accepted to a few summer intensive programs in NYC and wants to dance while in college. Thank you for your time and consideration Joe C
Lauren Warnecke says:
Hi Joe, Without knowing your daughter I can't say if there's some technical issue with her dancing that's contributing to the injury, but overuse injuries and technique go hand in hand. It's probably worth a discussion with her dance teachers, who can evaluate her technique and hopefully prevent future flare-ups as she gets back to 100%. Your daughter is at an age where everything feels critical! But it's important to keep the big picture in mind and plan for a very long career by taking the rest she needs and following her doctors' recommendations. There have been a few articles published elsewhere about attending summer intensives while injured and how to make the best of it if she can't dance fully or at all. It can still be a really great learning experience provided everyone (parents, dancer, doctor, teachers) is on board. Good luck!

Everything started in August 2013 with a blues harp course, with the American musician and composer Deborah Henson-Conant, who above all became famous playing the electric harp, and who even received a GRAMMY nomination (kind of like an OSCAR nomination in music). Encountering the blues and Deborah was like a great gift to me. I began to experience a completely new musical world. Deborah is a wonderful person: musical, funny, creative, and vivacious – the guitar player Steve Vai rightly called her the »Jimi Hendrix of the harp«.
A blues is based on a recurring concept with twelve bars and a precisely defined sequence of harmonies. Inside this structure give yourself room to drift with the music and then to improvise at certain parts. Although blues is more melancholic in nature, you can also find vibrant melodies. So I got down to work and initially composed the piece for the electric harp. As a result of that, the parts for the piano and the drums followed … everything fell into place!
We had been looking for a while to find a historical location for the video, where the grounded feeling of the blues was alive. Then we had the idea to shoot inside an Andalusian bodega, in one of these large halls where the wine is stored. For this, we rented the bodega of BARBADILLO in Sanlúcar de Barrameda for one day! The video shoot was unbelievable; my blues amid hundreds of old, wooden barrels, with the e-harp and an antique STEINWAY piano!
As a gift, you can download the music here for free, as an MP3 file. You are very welcome to pass this on to your friends, it makes me happy when my music reaches many people.


My girlfriend and I will be celebrating our 3rd-year anniversary this weekend. Some would call this the 'leather' year. If you're a bit modern, its 'crystal' or 'glass'. This year's color is 'light brown'. For flowers, its 'Fuchsia' and for gemstones its 'Moonstone'. Who could've thought, right?
There's apparently a long list of symbols, flowers, colors, and gemstones attributed to each anniversary year. I'd like to think that it was a guy who created the list. Because who would really put 'paper' as anniversary gifts ideas for the first year?
Think of your relationship as a long marathon and anniversaries are stops to keep you focused and hydrated until you get to the finish line. Nobody really knows if you'll finish it together, you both want to but, there are times when things may get in the way.
There are, however, people who think anniversaries are dumb and useless. Or people who don't really know when to celebrate their anniversary because they've forgotten the date. Or people who don't exactly know when they started to be a couple.
Whatever the case is with you and your partner, I think what I'm pointing out here is the importance of celebrating your love for each other. You can call it an anniversary or whatever you want. It doesn't matter how big the celebration is, it could even be as simple as a handwritten letter. But, what's important is for couples to commemorate their love and the reasons why they continue to love each other on a regular basis.
We tend to get too strung out with our daily lives that we forget to give the attention our partner needs. While most partners will understand you, it's still important to celebrate life events, such as anniversaries because it makes you stop and appreciate how far you've come. Just like in marathons, water breaks are important to stay hydrated.
People need significant events to create memories.
Memories that you could hold on to when times get rough.
Moments that you could hold on to even if things look bleak.
So, I dedicate this to the lovely and extremely amazing mother of my child.
May we have more anniversaries and may we finish this marathon together.

Swine flu is a contagious disease caused by a virus. It is called the "swine flu" because it was first used to describe a type of influenza that were very similar to that of pigs (swine).
A person infected with H1N1 flu (swine flu) virus can transmit the virus to others from a day before the development of it's symptoms and up to 7 days after getting infected.
The virus is mostly transmitted to others through the eyes, mouth and nose. When an infected person sneezes or coughs into the air without covering his mouth or nose, the virus can move by the help of air-movement into the nostrils of victims.
Furthermore, when you come into contact with an infected person, avoid touching your eyes after shaking hands. The virus can be transmitted easily into the body through the eye, nose or mouth. Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water after coming into contact with an infected person. It is advisable to stay a meter or two away from infected persons.
Always wash your hands with soap and water thoroughly.
Keep sanitizer in your bags.
Avoid coming into contact with people who are sick or show symptoms of H1N1 flu (Swine flu).
Avoid going to gatherings when there's an outbreak.
Garlic helps in strengthening the digestive system as well as controlling blood pressure it also protect the body against bacteria, parasites and virus etc. Garlic could help relief or reduce symptoms of swine flu.
Some symptoms of swine flu are cold, cough and fever. Ginger deals with these symptoms and is very effective in controlling cough.
Aloe Vera has been said to be good for swine flu relief. Taking a spoon of Aloe Vera with warm water can help boost your immune system and hence fight against the flu.
Drink more and more water to stay hydrated. It is a good practice to always stay hydrated at all times and most importantly when one is ill.
Stay a meter or two away from infected persons.
Seek medical attention for proper diagnosis.
Take pain killers for relief.

Tough but so worth it!
The stand in for Glenn was a big disappointment. Together with no convenient parking and trouble with the lockers made the rating very low.
Such a great combination of cardio and strength! Loved the 3 sets of tread, floor work and cycling. Glenn was really encouraging and pushed us at the same time. Thanks !
Such a different type of circuit - must try, loved it!
Really good & intense u must say but Glenn is very good as he manages the intensity based on your capacity!!
So tough! Glenn is amazing!


I forgot to take my camera into the shop today but I pretty much spent the entire time hitting a 4mm brass rod with a hammer.
I peened the pivot pin so that the blade is now locked in place.
The peening process involves leaving the brass rod sticking out the sides of the pivot hole, then hitting it with a hammer so that it spreads wider, locking the blade in.
I now need to curve the underneath a bit more as the shape isn't quite right.


When you publish your story to an HTML file, you can choose between story formats. These story formats control both the basic appearance and behavior of your story, though you can customize both of these via individual changes you make to your story.
This displays your story with white text on a black background. Players can only see one passage at a time, though they can, if you permit, use their browsers' back buttons to return to a previous passage.
The HTML structure of Sugarcane is examinable here.
Bookmark: This serves as a link directly to the current passage, and is automatically updated throughout the game. Players can save their game by copying the URL from this link. (If your StorySettings disallows the ability to undo, then this is unavailable to players, as bookmarking can obviously be used to undo moves.
Rewind: If a Sugarcane passage has the tag "bookmark", then each visit to this passage will create an entry in the Rewind menu as a 'checkpoint'. By using that menu, they can rewind the game to that particular state. For obvious reasons, this isn't particularly useful if your StorySettings allows the Bookmark menu to also be present.
This is simply a variant of Sugarcane with a different design that is more readable on mobile web browsers, especially phones. It is heavily based on the Initializr template.
This displays your story with black text on a chrome background, and as a player clicks links in your story, the text expands. A player can review earlier passages of your story by scrolling upwards. This approach is called stretchtext. They can rewind to past passages to try different choices by simply clicking the links in those passages (but you can optionally disable this in StorySettings).
The StoryMenu in Jonah is simply the box in the upper-right corner.
People have shared several story formats to date, the most famous being SugarCube. These can easily be added to become accessible from inside Twine.
Locate the "targets" folder in Twine's installation folder.
Inside "targets", create a folder with a header.html file here.
Locate Twine.app where you installed it, most likely the Applications folder.
Create a folder called "targets" in the same folder.
After making any changes inside the "targets" folder, Twine will need to be restarted to update the Story Format menu.

It's Time to Deal With the Insanity on College Campuses, Before It's Too Late
In a scene from one of my favorite movies, Hoosiers, the new basketball coach Norman Dale (played by Gene Hackman) has a showdown with the self-appointed assistant coach, George. After Coach Dale tells George that his "coaching days are over," the latter sheepishly says to him:
"Look, mister, there's… two kinds of dumb, uh… guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with."
Increasingly, the growing number of radical protestors on college campuses are akin to the "second guy": they're going to have to be dealt with before things get out of hand, and higher education in America further descends into irrelevancy.
The latest bit of insanity comes from Evergreen State College in Olympia, Washington. By now, most of you have heard that Bret Weinstein, a biology professor at Evergreen who describes himself as "deeply progressive," was protested outside his classroom by a group of 50 students who called him "racist" and a "white supremacist." Eventually, he had to hold his class off campus because campus security could no longer guarantee his safety.
The catalyst for the protest and epithets was Professor Weinstein's very sane and just objection to a forced "Day of Absence," on which white students, faculty, and staff were requested to stay off campus for the day—'cause, you know, systemic racism.
Evergreen is frequently ranked as one of the most liberal colleges in America, which makes it surprising that its students would accuse it, essentially, of not being as liberal as it should be. Yet it is just one more incident of what the title of a recent New York Times editorial referred to as "the left turn[ing] on its own."
I must say that I loathe writing about the growing intolerance on college campuses. Simply put, it's intellectually uninteresting to me. One reason why is that the student purveyors of these recent specimens of intolerance are so childish. They brazenly exalt themselves as enlightened representatives of the oppressed while lacking humility, charity, a basic knowledge of history, and logically coherent positions.
I also find it intellectually uninteresting because I think you'd be hard-pressed to find better examples of "self-evident truths" than the values of free speech and free intellectual inquiry—especially at institutions of higher learning. It's hard to gin up the energy to defend what shouldn't need defending.
At the same time, I feel the need to check my lack of interest with a reminder from the philosopher Dietrich von Hildebrand, who was one of the few German intellectuals to oppose the Nazi regime during its rise. As Carl Trueman stated in a column for First Things:
"Von Hildebrand offered an interesting insight into why opposition to Nazism was so hard. It was not because it was risky, though that was undoubtedly true. It was because it was tedious. To stand in opposition to something takes time and energy and yields little or no results and rarely brings immediate social credit (in fact, it typically brings the opposite). Sooner or later most people become tired of being indignant and simply accommodate themselves to what appears to be an invincible force. They may not privately approve but they publicly acquiesce."
If America's universities are to be preserved—not for what they've become, but for what they were—the time has come to deal with the radical students and faculty who are undermining the very principles on which these great institutions of Western Civilization were founded.
I admit that I'm not yet sure how to "deal with" them. Certainly not in the way of the caller who on Thursday threatened "to execute as many people on the campus as I can get ahold of."
One obvious option would be for college administrators to stop kowtowing to these students, and actually start handing down serious disciplinary actions for their intolerant, and sometimes violent, behavior. Though these students may have been subjected to a curriculum high in cultural Marxism, as I've written elsewhere, they've also been trained to be degree-seeking mercenaries. The majority of them are not yet so radical as to be immune to threats to their obtaining of those degrees.
Another option is the proposal of legislators in Washington to defund Evergreen State College by revoking the $24 million the school receives annually from the state. Perhaps Ivan Illich was right when he wrote, "Only by channeling dollars away from the institutions which now treat health, education and welfare can the further impoverishment resulting from their disabling side-effects be stopped."
Presumably, public colleges are supposed to exist for intellectually forming students to promote the public good. When, instead, they're forming students to hate the very ideas upon which that good is based, there no longer remains a reason for them to receive public funding.
The subsidizing of radical behavior on America's college campuses will only guarantee more of it.


As I go through my everyday life, I am drawn to seemingly uninspiring observations and experiences, such as watching a bug walking across a leaf, riding a bike, taking apart a machine to see how it works or pondering a question from my child which I just can not answer. These simple occurrences inspire me to explore these ideas further through art. Through experiments with sculpture, installation, mechanics, electronics, computers, the Internet, interactivity, sound and video, I have put together a diverse body of work that revolves around my conscious experience of the world. All of these pieces have elements of humor, absurdity and the mundane. Many of the pieces are interactive, creating situations where the viewer becomes a part of the piece. The experience of the work is unique depending upon how the viewers choose to interact with it. I place common everyday items in situations that give them characteristics of human behavior. By merging new digital technologies with old mechanical technologies I animate these humble materials seeking to change their context. The resulting videos, sculptures, and installations are metaphors for various aspects of the human condition.
Jamie Burmeister's artworks have been exhibited in galleries, museums and public places throughout the world. His "vermin.me" project has resulted in over 520 installations of small ceramic figures, called vermin, in public places on several continents, 20 countries and 22 US states. Burmeister's gallery and museum pieces have been exhibited in the Des Moines Art Center in Des Moines, Iowa, Bemis Center for Contemporary Arts in Omaha, Nebraska, Arkansas Art Center in Little Rock, Arkansas, Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, Nebraska, Create Fixate in Los Angeles, California, and Annmarie Garden in Dowell, Maryland. Jamie has completed commissions for the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Crisp Recording Studios in Fayetteville, Arkansas and the South Omaha Library. He has received numerous awards including the Nebraska Art Council's 2010 and 2007 Individual Artist Fellowships, Omaha Entertainment and Arts 2007 Best Public Art and 2006 Three-Dimensional Sculpture Awards, UNL's Trickey Memorial Award and UNL Woods Fellowship. He received a B.A. in Exercise Science from Creighton University in Omaha in 1992, an M.S. in Health Education from the University of Nebraska at Omaha in 1995, and an M.F.A. in Sculpture from the University of Nebraska at Lincoln in 2005.


OK, so I've never actually taken the Muddies to school in my pyjamas (though I have worn their now incredibly overstretched underpants when I've run out of mine) but I admit I've become a bit of a slob clothes-wise. I blame all those get-into-the-car-right-NOW school runs and last-minute supermarket sweeps in Yeovil. But jeans and worn-out trainers just ain't gonna cut it when I stroll into review a luxury spa for Muddy Stilettos, are they? So I made the call to wardrobe consultant and stylist Natasha Musson.
The scale of the problem: a motley collection, most of which hadn't been out of the wardrobe since moving in to the house five years ago. Natasha went into organise mode and quickly started dividing clothes into summer and winter and then putting clothes that I liked, she liked, we both liked on the clothes rail.
Once she'd weeded out the worst, she started pulling together the outfits. She seemed to intuitively knew what would suit me, suggesting different combinations and new ways to wear things – thin black polo necks under dresses, even over a long and slinky 1970s halter neck, sleeveless tops worn as waistcoats, belts worn backwards – and relegating my stripy tights to the dressing up box. I loved all of the outfits she suggested. She had loads of tips (coloured cardis over dresses – don't do it; but do layer, layer, layer). She didn't try to make me look like her, though I did covet her over-the-knee boots (Clark's in case you're wondering) nor Ten Years Younger. I was still me but a less frumpy, more confident (yep, those are shorts I'm wearing) me.
A typical session lasts three hours, costs £150 (sounds a lot but what's your plumber's hourly rate?) and afterwards you get a 'look book' of dozens of small pics showing you in your new ensembles and a list of suggestions to upgrade your wardrobe. Natasha will also source clothes, be your personal shopper, help with travel packing and organise styling parties for women of all ages from teens to octogenarians.
Hey … you need to get those legs out more often! Looking good – love the shorts!
Bought them a few years ago but never had the bottle to wear them – until Natasha popped round!
That's Natasha for you – I highly recommend!
Looking great Sue, Natasha sounds fantastic!
I'd like her to come over again just before summer, then again in the autumn – a personal dresser!
Thanks! You're right, she's got a real flair – she should come on prescription!


Meticulously maintained 3 bedroom home in Apple Manor Development!!! Amazing custom kitchen, double wall oven, gas stovetop, and tons of built ins!

Q: Docker HaProxy exposed ports Ran into an issue today while running Docker with haproxy. I cannot currently connect to my haproxy statistics page outside of the localhost. When I run the following command curl localhost:1337, I can see the haproxy statistics page.
When I try to access the page from the outside world, using the server's IP address I cannot.
Running docker ps shows the following:
CONTAINER ID        IMAGE               COMMAND                  CREATED             STATUS              PORTS                    NAMES
e3fea8e39543        demo-haproxy        "haproxy -f /usr/loca"   21 hours ago        Up 21 hours         0.0.0.0:1337->1337/tcp   my-running-haproxy2

My Dockerfile is relatively simple:
# Dockerfile

FROM haproxy:1.5
COPY haproxy.cfg /usr/local/etc/haproxy/haproxy.cfg
EXPOSE 1337

My haproxy.cfg file is also simple:
global
  log 127.0.0.1 local0
  log 127.0.0.1 local1 notice

defaults
  log global
  mode http
  option httplog
  option dontlognull
  timeout connect 5000
  timeout client 10000
  timeout server 10000

listen stats *:1337
    stats enable
    stats uri /

frontend localnodes
    bind 0.0.0.0:80
    mode http
    default_backend nodes

backend nodes
    mode http
    option forwardfor
    balance roundrobin
    server web01 127.0.0.1:80 check

    option httpchk GET /
    http-check expect status 200

If anyone has any ideas on what I am doing wrong, please let me know. My expectation is that when I go to my-server-ip-address:1337, haProxy should show up.
EDIT
This is running on Microsoft's Azure platform. I have the 1337 endpoint open:

The command I used to start haproxy is as follows:
docker run -d  -p  1337:1337 --name my-running-haproxy2 demo-haproxy

La Lucciola Restaurant is a trendy Italian restaurant in front of Legian beach/ Seminyak in the west of Bali. Of course, the ocean view is a great highlight of this place.
The cuisine is Italian-Mediterreanean. There are some great dishes with fish and meat on the menu but even as a vegetarian you get a couple of nice options. Especially, the fillet of coral trout with pancetta, marinated artichokes, wild rocket, and preserved lemon dressing is one of our favorites.
Facing the ocean, the traditional Balinese architecture of this restaurant is just perfect to enjoy sunset drinks followed by a Mediterranean dinner. The beach location combined with authentic food makes this restaurant one of the best Italian choices in Bali.
Mediterranean style and tropical location.

You could purchase these online, but why bother? These treats are so easy to make that after you try them once, you'll be making them all the time! Use your favorite recipe or make it from the box – either way, you'll have a tasty dessert that will keep your guests begging for more.
Though you could use standard white chocolate chips to cover these, I highly recommend you go for the Bake It Pretty candy melts mentioned below. The wafers melt so easily and to such a beautiful consistency that the whole process becomes incredibly simple – a big perk, particularly if you're low on time or not all that handy in the kitchen.
After baking the brownie sheet, set it aside until it is cool to the touch. Remove the brownie sheet from its pan and crumble it into a large mixing bowl. Add canned icing to the bowl of crumbs until the mixture is saturated enough that you can form balls out of the mixture, with the icing acting as a "glue". Form the mixture onto a series of tightly compacted balls and place them on a parchment-lined cookie sheet.
When all the brownie balls have been formed, insert a lollipop stick into the center of each. Make sure that each stick is straight – adjust as needed and reform the ball if necessary. When all of the sticks are inserted, put the entire cookie sheet into the fridge and let chill for at least an hour. Chilling will help keep the cake and icing mixture together when you begin dipping. Do not take the sheet out until the last possible minute when you begin to dip them.
In a makeshift or actual double boiler, melt a bag of white candy wafers over low heat (microwave directions are available for this product too, but I prefer the control of doing it over a stove top) – if you turn the heat up too high, the melted candy will seize and be ruined, so be careful. As the candy wafers melt, prepare a second cookie sheet (or other flat surface) with parchment paper to put dipped pops on.
When you are ready to dip, take the original cookie sheet out of the fridge. Dip each pop until it is submerged (if necessary, tip the pot slightly so that the melted candy coating flows over the pop). Remove the pop and place on the clean parchment-covered cookie sheet. Don't worry about any pooling that occurs – this can be cut away later. Continue until all of the brownie pops are covered, then place the cookie sheet back in the fridge and leave them there until the candy coating has set and until the last possible minute before you add the second coating.
When the candy coating has set, begin to melt the light blue candy melts with white candy melts (the mix should be approximately 25% blue, 75% white, but can be adjusted if you want to make the color lighter or darker). While waiting for the candy wafers to completely melt, open your bottle of non-pareil sprinkles. You'll want to use the shaker end if there is one; if not, or if you want greater control of where the sprinkles fall, carefully pour the sprinkles onto a plate and sprinkle them manually.
When the candy has melted and the pops have set and are removed from the fridge, prepare to use the light blue candy mix as a "spread". You can smear the top of the pops with the blue candy with an icing spatula if you want something smoother; I wanted a little more dimension to mine (giving the sprinkles a little more to cling to, as well) and used a standard dining fork to spread it on. Work quickly to smooth and spread the blue candy on the top of the brownie pop so that the original white layer doesn't melt. You'll also want to change the utensil you work with as it warms up as it will speed up how quickly that original layer melts.
As you add the blue layer to each pop, quickly sprinkle the top with the white non-pareils so that as the new layer cools, the sprinkles will set in it. How densely you apply the sprinkles is up to you, but don't go so overboard that you no longer see the beautiful pop of blue! Repeat the candy and non-pareil treatment on each pop, then set them in the fridge to cool and set once again. When they do, you're set!

Wow, these are really great. How far can they be made ahead? Can you possible freeze them?
I wouldn't freeze them – like other cakes, technically you could, but I've never been a fan of doing it. You can definitely make them in advance and keep them in the fridge (in an air tight container!) though. I'd suggest making them up to a week in advance. Though they'll probably stay fresh longer because of the candy coating and the moisture from the icing, you'll want to take into account that your guests might not eat them right away.
Wow wow wow. How pretty would those look on a Christmas dessert table – wedding or no wedding?
How many brownie pops does this recipe make? I think I'd need to make about 200!
It depends on the size of the brownie balls you make. I got about two dozen out of them. I also had some candy melt left over, so you'd be able to squeeze more out of that purchase – I was limited by the amount of brownie-icing mixture I had.
Thank you for this wonderful recipe. I just love the icy blue color you picked. Perfect!
I love the Winter Wonder Land do you have this for Valentine.
I like the winter wonder land I never even new about this before my son lovez it as well do ou have anything on Valentine?

Wyclef Jean's claim that Lauryn Hill duped him into thinking he knocked her up … is "bulls**t" and a money-making ploy — at least according to Lauryn's real baby daddy … Rohan Marley.
Wyclef dropped the bomb about his ex Fugees bandmate in his new autobiography … claiming they had an affair in 1996 — while he was married — and Lauryn made him believe he fathered her first child, Zion David.
He also says he and Lauryn were together in studio sessions night and day back then so there wouldn't even be time for her to have the alleged affair.
Rohan added he thinks Wyclef is "just saying false things to get book headlines" — and he has no plans to talk it out with 'Clef because "he knows he is fronting himself.
Everybody wants to be the daddy until Maury takes that little paper out the brown envelope and someone is left crying on a backstage couch. Wow. What do y'all think?? It's clear that Lauryn's elevator doesn't go all the way to the top, but you think these guys are lying??


This month Toronto And East York Community Council designated Church St's Barn And Stables a historic building, though the move does little to clear up the murk of the property's future.
Closed for more than a year because of a fire, with each passing month the building at 414-418 Church St looks less likely to reopen as a gay bar. Squabbling between the executors, who have been managing the property since the 2004 slaying of longtime owner Janko Naglic, has left the building in limbo.
The historical designation, initiated by City Councillor Kyle Rae, requires developers to work with city staff to renovate the site; it also makes it more difficult to demolish the building. If past experience tells us anything, it usually means merely preserving the façade. When Rae arranged in 2003 for the historical designation of the former Athenaeum Club (and the former It Nightclub) on 167 Church St, it paved the way for developers to buy the property and transform it into rental apartments while preserving the façade of the original 1891 building.
Originally two Victorian houses built by Toronto businessman and landowner Stephen Murphy in 1891 (one as a home and one as a store), Naglic purchased the site in the mid-1980s, turning it into a gay hotspot.
Coexecutor Tom Ricketts, who wants to put the property up for sale on behalf of the inheriting family members as soon as possible, says he was not aware of the historical designation and did not challenge it in hearings this spring. He has 30 days after the full Toronto city council approval to appeal the designation and has the right to take the issue to the Ontario Municipal Board.
Ricketts confirms there are issues between he and coexecutor Stephen Brailsford; Brailsford did not return Xtra's call.
Meanwhile, Naglic's former lover, Ivan Mendez-Romero, remains in custody, charged with first-degree murder. A preliminary hearing is scheduled for later this month. Mendez-Romero was arrested in August 2005.


Wanted to explore a new cafe for a cuppa to chill out on a Saturday, and I managed to find One Man Coffee as I was around Thomson. It's kinda out of sight if you were to drive past casually as it is situated within a pizza place and parking was a bane during lunch time!
As we arrived at the cafe, it was overwhelmed with a crowd. Nonetheless, we managed to get our seats shortly. To me, a crowd definitely speaks volume of it's popularity and probably good standard, nevertheless, never judge a book by it's cover.
While looking at the menu, the word "Magic" caught my attention as I remember my friend telling me about it during his visit to Stranger's Reunion. Out of curiosity, I clarified about it during my orders. Indeed, their beans are from Stranger's Reunion (Chakra blend (Brazil, Ethiopian Sidamo, Guatemala beans) and to top it up, it's served with double ristretto!
I also ordered a Butter Croissant (pronounce as kwa-song) as I wanted to compare it with Lola's Cafe's. Guess what, my vote still goes to Lola's.
Overall, it was a nice afternoon accompanied with good company and a solid tasting cuppa!
The blend that for my latte consisted of beans from Brazil and Columbia roasted Axil Coffee Roaster (Melbourne) and had an interesting flavour. Besides its light-medium body and nutty flavour, it also ended with a "winy" (wine) note to it. This is my first time experiencing it and I love it!
Blend from Axil Coffee Roaster!


It is mid-morning, and I am not quite smiling. But close. Coffee is brewing. I am testing out Verizon's MiFi Wireless Hotspot device, which may be the missing link connecting this household to the World Wide Web. We shall see.


NR Wahala ke? What do you mean?
I don't want to laugh oo but you are making it hard for me not to . Just,chill. There are bigger things in life to be worried about than NR wahala.
Are you talking out of personal experience?
I don't need to decode it for you,sis! You know what i mean.. I have been following..
Follow the right people sha....like I said, don't be fooled. A new Sherrif is in town.
Don't worry about me,dear. I'm no novice. I am aware of happenings around here and behind-the-scenes. Sometimes,though i think we take things too seriously around here.
This is supposed to be a fun site.A place we all come to have fun,relax and hopefully make some friends.The problem begins really when we turn it something else.
Be patient dear, hold on tight.
Hype is good but only to an extent and methinks that comparing 30days with far from amazing "Amazing Grace" is a purge on ignorance.I would want to be proved wrong shaa.Lets wait and see!!!
I would advice the people behind this movie to release it now that the realities of political intrigues and holding unto power no matter how,is fresh in the memories of Nigerians after a general election.
So you liked "Amaxing Grace"? I thought it was ok, but read everyone bashing it later, so decided i must rewatch it again oh.

An erbium and ytterbium co-doped tantalum-oxide (Ta2 O5:Er, Yb) thin film was fabricated using a simple co-sputtering method for the first time, and its photoluminescence (PL) spectrum was evaluated. Energy transfers between Er3+ and Yb3+ in the Ta2 O5:Er, Yb co-sputtered thin film were discussed by comparing between PL spectra of the Ta2 O5:Er, Yb film and Ta2 O5:Er or Ta2 O5:Yb films reported in our previous works. Such a Ta2 O5:Er, Yb co-sputtered film can be used as a high-refractive- index and light-emitting material of a multilayered photonic crystal that can be applied to a novel light-emitting device, and it will also be used as a multi-functional coating film having both anti-reflection and down-conversion effects for realizing a high-efficiency silicon solar cell.

The battle of Pozières Ridge, 23 July-3 September 1916 was part of the first battle of the Somme. It was the official name given to fighting between the River Ancre and the village of Bazentin le Petit, with the village of Pozières in the centre of the line. The highest ground on the Somme battlefield was just to the north of the line between the two villages. The battle was fought by elements from the Fourth Army (Rawlinson) and from the Reserve Army (Gough). In forty days of fighting the British advanced at most one mile, with most progress being made by the Reserve Army which quickly captured Pozières. This was perhaps the most static period of the entire battle – at the same time as it was fighting on Pozières ridge the Fourth Army was also struggling to capture Delville Wood (15 July-8 August) and was making no progress east towards Guillemont.
Pozières itself was close to the front line on 23 July, and during that day most of the village was captured by the 1st Australian Division. The north east and north west corners remained in German hands for a little longer, with the north west corner secured on 25 July and the north east in Australian hands by the end of July.
At the start of August Gough's Reserve Army was ordered to capture the German Second Position as it ran around the north of Pozières. A key target was Mouquet Farm, north west of Pozières. The village of Thiepval, further to the north west, was a longer term target. The 2nd Australian division was able to achieve part of its initial objectives. In an attack on 4 August they captured the German second line trenches north and north east of Pozières, and pushed them back a few hundred yards north west of the village. The attack to the north east had actually captured the crest of Pozières Ridge, allowing the Australians to look downhill towards the village of Courcelette.
The remainder of August was spent attempting to expand the salient north of Pozières. The British front was slowly pushed out towards Mouquet Farm, but at the end of August it remained in German hands, while the attacks towards Thiepval failed to make any progress. The village would not be captured until the end of September. In the meantime the focus of Haig's efforts would switch to the east, and an attack north on the front between Pozières and Delville Wood (battle of Flers-Courcelette, 15-22 September 1916), and the preliminary capture of Guillemont (3-6 September) and Ginchy (9 September).
