Hundreds of Santa Barbara County Homes Ordered to Evacuate Ahead of Significant Storm
Update: All Evacuation Orders Lifted for Alisal, Thomas, and Cave Fire Burn Scar Areas

By Callie Fausey
[Update: January 5, 2023] All evacuation orders have been lifted for the Thomas, Alisal, and Cave fire burn areas in Santa Barbara County as of 9:30 a.m. Thursday, following the major storm that began Wednesday evening. For the latest story, click here.
[Original Story] A major storm sweeping through Santa Barbara County late Wednesday night through Thursday has county officials cautioning residents to understand the seriousness of the situation, take necessary safety measures, and follow mandatory evacuation orders, effective immediately for the entire Alisal Fire burn scar area and vulnerable sections of the Thomas and Cave Fire burn scar areas.
Recent burn scar areas in South County, primarily along waterways in Carpinteria, Summerland, and Montecito, are expected to be most affected by the storm, as well as parcels within the Alisal burn scar area along Refugio Canyon and the Gaviota Coast. The largest number of parcels of land to be evacuated are in the Thomas Fire burn scar area, followed by the Alisal burn scar area, and then the Cave Fire burn scar area.
The number of residences to be evacuated is in the hundreds, according to Kelsey Gerckens Buttitta, public information officer of the County Executive Office. An interactive evacuation map has been made available for residents in and around recent burn scar areas, and residents are encouraged to plug their address into the map to find out whether they are in an evacuation zone. Alerts will also be sent out to county residents through a wireless alert system, and sheriff's deputies and sheriff's search and rescue team members will be going door to door and patrolling in the areas where the evacuation orders have been issued.
County officials say that residents with any questions about what is happening should not call 9-1-1 unless they have an actual emergency. Instead, they can receive information by calling 2-1-1 or the Office of Emergency Management Call Center at (833) 688-5551. People can also receive information and instructions online and sign up for emergency notifications at readysbc.org.
South County residents needing to evacuate their homes can take shelter at the Wake Center (300 N. Turnpike Rd., Santa Barbara). See ReadySBC.org for evacuation center hours. Large animals can be sheltered at Earl Warren Showgrounds. For the latest animal evacuation information, call Santa Barbara County Animal Services at (805) 681-4332.
Expected across the county is an estimated four to eight inches of heavy rain, with some isolated regions of the county anticipated to reach 10 inches of rain, officials announced Wednesday. Strong winds of up to 50 to 60 miles per hour throughout the county and high surf are also expected. The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Santa Barbara County from Wednesday late afternoon through Thursday morning, and warns flooding caused by excessive rainfall is possible within the entire watch area.
The most significant rain is expected to occur between 10 p.m. Wednesday and 5 a.m. Thursday, with the most intense period of rain likely occurring between midnight and 3 a.m.
"With the saturation of the soil, the potential for trees coming down and the potential for increased rainfall in the Foothill communities is of major concern," Santa Barbara County Sheriff Bill Brown warned at an emergency press conference Wednesday.
Ground saturation is of concern following the 8-13 inches of rain the county has received in the past 30 days, with the county watershed already in a saturated condition. Brown said residents should "please use caution" around trees and electrical poles Wednesday evening through Thursday morning.
Santa Barbara County public fire rescue and EMS providers are trained to work together "to assist each other not just in fires but, as we're dealing with today, in potential floods and debris flows," said Chief Mark Hartwig of the County Fire Department on Wednesday.

Sixty responders, including fire engines, patrols, and rescue squads, will be stationed throughout the affected areas Wednesday evening with emergency vehicles and equipment ready to deal with situations such as those involving fallen trees and electrical lines.
"We're prepared to deal with whatever happens," Hartwig said. "We hope those resources aren't needed. But we'll be here if you need us."
Montecito Fire Chief Kevin Taylor said this storm setup "looks very similar to what occurred in our community in 1969, five years following the 1964 Coyote Fire."
"For those of you not aware of that history, the '69 storm triggered debris flows and debris-laden floods in every watershed facing the Santa Barbara Channel in our community," Taylor said. "There was significant damage and fatalities as a result.
"It was the result of a saturation event," Taylor continued, adding that the National Weather Service defines a saturation event as 8-10 inches of rain in 24 to 48 hours. "We're going to see that with this storm; therefore, we believe we're at a saturation event. The areas at risk are very clearly identified as those red areas on the storm impact consideration map that was developed by a professional engineering firm that actually used modeling to evaluate our debris flow risk given the current status of the watershed."
Taylor also acknowledged that Monday, January 9, is the five-year anniversary of the catastrophic 1/9 Debris Flow, also known as the Montecito Mudslides, which took the lives of 23 people in 2018. "While this storm is forecast to be less significant than what occurred on 1/9, it is still powerful and should be taken very seriously," he said.
Supervisor Das Williams said his comments at the Wednesday press conference were aimed toward those being asked to evacuate. "I know, because I've been through the last five years with you, how dismaying this is," Williams said. "A lot of people wanted to feel like this part of their life was over. But we live in this beautiful place. And there are some consequences of living in this beautiful place. And that is that we have this risk."
"I am urging folks to comply with the evacuation if you live in that red zone," Williams added. "The one thing we should have learned these past five years is it is better to play it safe and to evacuate, and to comply with the order. I know it's hard to hear it. It's a hassle. It's dismaying, but it's better to play it safe for your family, for your loved ones, for the future of the community."
California Highway Patrol Captain Mike Logan said the CHP will be working proactively with Caltrans to ensure that the roadways remain open, and should roadways become closed due to events such as rock slide or flooding, they "will get that message out immediately." The CHP will be working jointly with sheriff's deputies to ensure residents' safety, but Logan advised that people should not travel or use roadways "unless absolutely necessary," and should "drive alert" and "slow down."
In addition, Sheriff Brown said, "the sheriff's deputies will be conducting high-visibility patrols of [evacuation areas] to discourage any criminal activity that some would exercise to take advantage of," and deputies will be "vigilant in looking after those properties."
Kelly Gordon, Santa Barbara Chief of Police, in response to concern about boats anchored in the harbor, said "Harbor Patrol is making every effort to make sure that all the boats are brought into the safe harbor area … Efforts are currently ongoing to make sure that none of those in the free marine area are left out there, and we also have the ability to respond if we do end up with those vessels on the beach." High winds early Wednesday morning were strong enough to drag abandoned sailboat Norma Zane's anchor and fling her onto Santa Barbara's East Beach.

The U.S. Missile Defense Agency, in cooperation with the U.S. Air Force 30th Space Wing, the Joint Functional Component Command for Integrated Missile Defense and U.S. Northern Command, successfully intercepted an intercontinental ballistic missile target during a test of the Ground-based Midcourse Defense (GMD) element of the nation's ballistic missile defense system. A ground-based interceptor was launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base, California, and its exo-atmospheric kill vehicle intercepted and destroyed the target in a direct collision. Source: Missile Defense Agency.
Tuesday's successful test of part of the nation's ballistic missile defense system shows that the United States can defend itself against the threat of ballistic missile launches from North Korea or Iran, the director of the Missile Defense Agency said Wednesday.
Tuesday's test involved the midcourse phase and was system's first live-fire event, matching a ground-based interceptor carrying an exo-atmospheric kill vehicle against an intercontinental ballistic missile-class threat designed to replicate something that might come at the United States from North Korea or Iran, Syring said.
Then a ground-based interceptor — a multistage solid-fuel booster — launched from Vandenberg Air Force Base in California, carrying the exo-atmospheric kill vehicle toward the target ICBM's location in space. The interceptor released the kill vehicle, which used guidance data transmitted from ground and onboard sensors to collide with and destroy the target warhead, the MDA website says.
"Based on all the data we've received to date, all indications are that all our system performed exactly as designed," he said.
Ballistic missile defense is an incredible challenge, the admiral explained. The defending missile must intercept a missile that can travel thousands of miles per hour, in this case outside the earth's atmosphere.
"Our mission becomes more challenging as time goes on as [adversaries] continue to develop increasingly complex threats. But yesterday's test did demonstrate that the system continues to improve and mature, and it is ready to defend the homeland today," Syring said.
"We're in a very good step-wise progression here of not only increasing reliability but being ahead of where we believe the threat will go in terms of complexity, countermeasures and ultimately consideration for capacity down the road," the admiral added.

Q: how to rewrite code into array of objects I have a code like this:
var data =[
  [{qText:"A"},{qText:"type1"},{qText: 5}],
  [{qText:"A"},{qText:"type2"},{qText: 3}],
  [{qText:"A"},{qText:"type3"},{qText: 5}],
  .......

 ]

How can i rewrite it so it would be this way ?
var data = [
  { team: "A", type1: "5", type2: "3", type3: "5" },
  { team: "B", type1: "0", type2: "3", type3: "3" },
  { team: "C", type1: "8", type2: "2", type3: "4" },
];

A: You could destructure the array with the objects and find same team in the result set or add a new object. Then assign the stringed value to the given key.

var data = [[{ qText: "A" }, { qText: "type1" }, { qText: 5 }], [{ qText: "A" }, { qText: "type2" }, { qText: 3 }], [{ qText: "A" }, { qText: "type3" }, { qText: 5 }], [{ qText: "B" }, { qText: "type1" }, { qText: 0 }], [{ qText: "B" }, { qText: "type2" }, { qText: 3 }], [{ qText: "B" }, { qText: "type3" }, { qText: 3 }], [{ qText: "C" }, { qText: "type1" }, { qText: 8 }], [{ qText: "C" }, { qText: "type2" }, { qText: 2 }], [{ qText: "C" }, { qText: "type3" }, { qText: 4 }]],
    result = data.reduce((r, [{ qText: team }, { qText: key }, { qText: value }]) => {
        var temp = r.find(o => o.team === team);
        if (!temp) r.push(temp = { team });
        temp[key] = value.toString();
        return r;
    }, []);

console.log(result);

What kind of information is provided in the MySQL & Load Stats section? How do you take advantage of it?
If you have an HTML site, in all probability it uses a small amount of system resources simply because it's static, but that isn't so with dynamic database-driven sites that use PHP scripts and offer a lot more features. This sort of websites generate load on the web hosting server anytime somebody browses them, simply because the server requires time to execute the script, to access the database and then to supply the information requested by the visitor's Internet browser. A well known discussion board, as an illustration, stores all usernames and posts within a database, so some load is produced every time a thread is opened or an end user looks for a certain term. If lots of people access the forum all at once, or if each search involves checking hundreds of thousands of database entries, this can create high load and affect the efficiency of the website. In this regard, CPU and MySQL load stats can give you info about the site's overall performance, as you can compare the numbers with your traffic stats to decide if the Internet site must be optimized or moved to a different kind of hosting platform which will be able to bear the high system load if the Internet site is popular.
If you host your Internet sites inside a hosting account with us, you shall have access to thorough CPU and MySQL statistics which will allow you to keep an eye on their functionality. You can easily see the data with a couple of mouse clicks in your Hepsia CP. The CPU Load section will reveal to you the total time the web server spent on your scripts and just how much memory was required, plus the time it took for the scripts to be executed. The daily view is the standard one, but you are able to also see the data from the previous months. The MySQL Load section offer additional information about the number of queries to every single database that you have set up within the account. Once again, you can easily see month-to-month, everyday and hourly stats, that shall give you information that is different from the traffic or the number of visitors you get. In this way, you can determine if the websites need some optimization.
If you have a semi-dedicated server account with our company, you shall be able to access rather detailed CPU and MySQL load data that will give you more info about the functionality of your Internet sites. 2 sections of the Hepsia Control Panel are committed to the stats, one for every single kind. Inside the CPU Load section you are able to see the execution time of your scripts and how much time the web server processed them. You can also see the kinds of processes that were executed. Statistics are generated every six hours, but if necessary, you may also check data for previous days or months. The MySQL Load section shall show you the whole number of database queries each day and per hour, along with the queries to each individual database you have inside your semi-dedicated account. Comparing this info to your traffic statistics will give you important info about how your sites perform and you will see if you must take some measures to optimize them.

A Pine Cone Romance
Small Town Romances
Second Chance at Love
Artist Clay Cahill retreats to her hometown of Pine Cone, Georgia, when she's betrayed by a woman she thought cared and the pressure of the New York City art world becomes too much. Setting paints aside, she takes a job at her grandfather's garage seeking the restorative comfort of small town life where women are sweet and life flows as slow as molasses.
Manhattan art gallery owner River Hemsworth is preparing for a show when she's informed her aunt has bequeathed her a local gallery in Pine Cone, a place where the idea of fashion is anything with a Carhartt label. En route to review inventory and unload the property quickly, River wrecks her car and Clay comes to her rescue.
If River can convince Clay to start painting again, she may be able to pull off the show that will make her career and quench the desires she never expected to feel again.
Whiskey Sunrise
Royal Duval is the pride of her grandfather, Duke, from whom she learned all about faith, ambition, and women. After her father passed, Royal inherited his part of the family business: running bootleg whiskey. The back roads of Georgia had been perfect for the dissemination of the much sought after illegal elixir until the local Baptist minister, Abraham Porter, decided to make prohibition his mission, and Royal the target of his evangelical wrath.
Lovey Porter, Abraham's daughter, is the living embodiment of chaste beauty, until she meets the charmingly handsome Royal Duval. Their growing attraction for each other challenges every belief that Lovey holds dear and calls into question every truth she felt sure was absolute. Even if she must defy her father, in the end, Lovey has to find her own path to faith and love. She alone must decide whether that path leads to Royal.

Friends to Lovers Romance
City girl Alana Brendt accepts a one-year contract as an event coordinator in remote Yakima, Washington, to reboot her career. So what if she padded her résumé a little…doesn't everyone? Then she discovers she has to lead trail rides and white-water adventures, not just coordinate them. Add a litter of puppies underneath her rickety farmhouse's porch, and Alana is desperate enough to accept help from the local vet…the gorgeous, sexy, outdoorsy vet who is absolutely not Alana's type. At all.
Veterinarian Tegan Evans avoids the tourist side of Yakima, venturing there only when an animal needs her. Tourists only break your heart. Still, she can't resist helping Alana, who, despite being in over her head with rambunctious puppies and a job she is barely qualified to perform, seems determined to make a success of things.
Alana and Tegan both know they don't belong together. Only problem is, they're falling in love.

This is my first book by Vaun and I will be looking out for her past and future books based on how much I enjoyed this one. This is a traditional style romance - woman returns to small town, meets up with her friend's little sister who had a crush on her back in the day. This is not a fast paced book, but satisfying nonetheless - a really nice little romance.

This is the first book of Missouri Vaun that I read, I loved it: it's written from the two points of view. Shaw lives in San Francisco and has a very tough job, she is burned out so she decided to move to her grandparent's home in Cooper Creek. Kate who has a mother with a early stage of dementia left her job to take care of her parent, when she was young she had a crush on Shaw who was a friend of her sister. When the two met Kate fought against her feeling.... I loved this book the main characters are well written and the story is intriguing. Now i need to buy more books of Missouri Vaun!!!!!!

I was cheering for Kate and Shaw to end up together
Love at Cooper's Creek is a sweet romance. Ms. Vaun creates a novel that is not only believable, but is also interesting. So many people are facing situations like the one presented in this plot.
The two main characters are Shaw Daily and Kate Elkins. Shaw is a top notch international business executive who is burnt out and questioning whether she should continue in her profession. She returns to her hometown in North Carolina to rest and decide what she wants to do. Kate Elkins is a public-school teacher who decides to take a one year sabbatical and return to the same small town to care for her mother who has dementia and failing health.
Shaw and Kate went to school together. Kate was a few years behind Shaw in school and had a major crush on her. Kate's big sister was best friends with Shaw so Kate was able to dream about Shaw from a close distance. Shaw graduated from high school, moved away for work, travelled the world and was not aware of the crush. When Kate and Shaw meet again, the chemistry between the two is explosive.
The plot is solid. The pace is smooth and steady. As a reader, I was cheering for Kate and Shaw to end up together
This is a good romance to enjoy over a weekend...

UN FILM DE ?????
Posted in FILM with tags Day For Night, George Axelrod, Gregoire Aslan, Julien Duvivier, La Fete a Henriette, Le Quatorze Juillet, Mel Ferrer, Paris... When It Sizzles, Richard Quine, Tony Curtis on June 1, 2019 by dcairns
Duvivier's LA FETE A HENRIETTE has a neat premise and plays neat tricks, as its two screenwriters run through alternate possibilities for their romantic story. But the basic dynamic never satisfied me: the director sees the film as a light, charming, Rene Clair confection set on Bastille Day (Clair had in fact already made that film, as LE QUATORZE JUILLET, with Annabella in the '30s). His writer keeps trying to turn it into a sexy melodrama full of underwear and killings. We see the alternative versions played out before us.
But it made me wonder why on earth the director keeps this writer around, since he hates all his ideas. And although we're meant to sympathise with him, the writer's bawdy caper with its Dutch tilts and lingerie looks a lot more fun. A more interesting dynamic might have been to give the power to the character with bad ideas, so we see a potentially sweet movie being wrecked.
George Axelrod and Richard Quine's remake, PARIS… WHEN IT SIZZLES (most sources omit the ellipsis but it's there in the title sequence) explodes the original concept in a number of ways. There's only one writer, and he's at war with himself, which is already more interesting. He has a stenographer with whom a romance blooms as the script is, falteringly, shaped. The real-life relationship merges with the characters in the film, with Audrey Hepburn and William Holden playing the leads in both "reality" and the film-within-the-film, which is called THE GIRL WHO STOLE THE EIFFEL TOWER and, unlike nearly all such meta-movies (the dire-looking MEET PAMELA in DAY FOR NIGHT being the prime example), actually looks like it might be diverting — in fact, it looks very much like HOW TO STEAL A MILLION. Fluffy, pointless, enjoyably diverting.
It even has Mel Ferrer changing from Jekyll to Hyde, as was his wont.
The mixing of reality and fantasy allows Axelrod and Quine to set up a lot of fun running gags, as the fictional avatars of our protagonist plagiarise their lines from real life, and get them stolen right back. Though it's stuffed with pointless excess, both to parody gaudy Hollywood confections and to become one, it also has a narrative and manages to explain its impossible title quite neatly (there's a film-within-the-film-within-the-film, you see, and it's also called THE GIRL WHO STOLE THE EIFFEL TOWER — which, obviously, ought to have been the title of PARIS… WHEN IT SIZZLES too, and then we wouldn't have to worry about whether or not to include the ellipsis — and the FWTFWTF gets stolen, so…).
A startling throwaway moment. This is 1964, people!
This leads us to Tony Curtis. While Marlene and Mel have uncredited cameos, Tony's bit is actually quite substantial. When the real Audrey tells the real Bill that she has a date with an actor on Bastille Day, Holden gives his disgusted impression of the profession, summing up the Brando school of thespian as a bunch of preening slobs. He then begins his script with Audrey's meta-character being dumped by her date, played by Curtis as an absurd, eye-lash fluttering, pouting, pose-striking, slouching Brando parody. Only also French. But with Tony Curtis's Bronx accent.
As the plot progresses, though, Holden decides that the Curtis character is really an undercover cop. His boss, Gregoire "Coco" Aslan, keeps referring to him by his cover name rather than his real one, then scathingly tells him that really he's just "second policeman." So the gag becomes Tony Curtis, movie star, gamely allowing himself to play a humiliated bit actor in a nameless role. But there's more! Maurice/Philippe (Tony) actually gets, probably, the biggest character/s arc of the movie. And reminds us of his astonishing comic skills.
Give this one a try! As a Parisian romp with Audrey, it ought to be frothy and charming, but it's slightly too bitter, too Tashlinesque-zany, and salacious and shambling to be what, by rights, it ought to be aspiring to be. It's too much like a Deluxe Color nervous breakdown. But, as such, it's very interesting and often very funny.
Two Enormous, Highly-Paid Heads
Posted in FILM with tags Audrey Hepburn, George Axelrod, Julien Duvivier, La Fete a Henriette, Paris... When It Sizzles, Richard Quine, Sunset Blvd, The Lost Weekend, William Holden on May 31, 2019 by dcairns
Hadn't seen PARIS… WHEN IT SIZZLES before — a student who was an Audrey Hepburn obsessive said she didn't like it, but I should've known better than to trust her. It's a mixed bag but pretty interesting. The film it — very loosely — remakes — Julien Duvivier's LA FETE A HENRIETTE — doesn't quite work, arguably, but the narrative tricks are fun. Same here, but this one's more interesting to me because of the confessional side. Screenwriter George Axelrod was an alcoholic and he seems to be grappling with that, and some deep self-loathing, through the medium of a chic, charming, vulgar, silly romantic comedy.
It is in fact hard to imagine Audrey being in a film as glossily lecherous as this, which may be a sound and understandable reason for my former student having disliked it.
William Holden plays the boozy screenwriter and Audrey his muse, so there are echoes of SUNSET BLVD — what if Joe Gillis made it to the top, got his pool, and STILL wasn't happy? Turned into THE LOST WEEKEND's Don Birnam, in fact? With enough moolah to keep the booze flowing forever…
Add in the tortured Richard Quine as director, the alcoholic Holden as star, Audrey at her skinniest, and you have a surprisingly sour aftertaste, but this doesn't ruin the pleasure for me, though it certainly complicates it.
When Holden burns the script he's been working on all through the movie, because now that he's found love he's going to quit the sauce and write a better one, it's joyous, exhilarating, satisfying — and supremely unconvincing. And I think that's intentional on Axelrod's part. The old Hollywood switch on a switch — give the public what they want but wink at the intelligentsia — we know better than this, don't we?

DIGITAL IMAGERY
>ARTIST BIOGRAPHY<
As an only, latchkey kid of a single mother, Michael Bird grew up in a small town outside of Wichita, Kansas in the 1980s. Star Wars and Tron had sparked his young imagination and inspired a curiosity and an affinity for computers. But like a lot of creative youth, he often felt like an outsider.
Looking for consolation, Bird found his way to punk rock, David Bowie and William S. Burroughs. He explains:
"When you're young, you're fighting against the pressure to conform. Creativity is an indulgent act that, at its best, defies conformity. It implies confidence, which the conformed can find threatening."
"Burroughs rewired my brain to see things differently, to view my experience through a shifted perspective. He gave me the excuse to cast adolescence through an alternate narrative that made it sexy and adventurous and exciting, instead of boring and obvious and embarrassing. And Bowie's example taught me that not only was it acceptable to be alien, but that which makes one an alien is what makes one compelling and powerful."
Though an obvious fit, art wasn't an immediate outlet for Bird's self-realization.
"I had always drawn as a kid. My imagination was very visual and drawing was how I expressed it. When I was in high school, the school's only art teacher informed me that he saw no proclivity in me for drawing and I'm embarrassed to admit that I just accepted that at face value. I turned my attention to journalism and resigned myself to writing. Looking back now, I realize he didn't know what he was talking about. I was actually pretty good, albeit raw."
None of what Bird did in the intervening years held his attention for long. He bounced from journalism to graphic design, making progress with the latter as a self-taught professional. But once competent in a skill, he was on to the next challenge.
All the while, fine art continued to pester Bird. During his years as a graphic designer, he'd encountered the work of Egon Schiele and Joel Peter Witkin, two artists who would greatly influence his later work. The newfound obsession with them would lead him back to art.
As a designer, Bird realized over time he needed to build on his skillset and acquire formal training. Living in Washington state at the time, he packed up and moved back to Kansas to tackle art school. While an undergrad at Emporia State University, he completed his formal graphic design education. Having brought a lot of practical experience with him, he also had time enough to explore fine art in greater depth and by the time he'd graduated, interest in multimedia and video had taken hold. When he entered the MFA program at the University of Kansas in fall of 2004, he did so as a fine artist, with video installation as his concentration.
"It took me awhile to find my voice with video, which you can see in my show reel. Everything I knew about experimental video had come from music video. The faculty sought to file that influence off by pushing me to explore more traditional forms of performative video, which I tried, but it never felt like me. I tried to combine some of my film influences, like Luis Buñuel, Peter Greenaway and Matthew Barney, but even then, I felt like I was placating the faculty."
Ultimately, it was sound and the notion of starting with musical elements that would reground Bird with his work.
"'Primer' was the breakthrough piece. I started with the sound. I wanted there to be a pulse of subsonic energy pushed loudly out of a subwoofer that would punch the viewer when they approached the work. The aggressiveness of that was uncharacteristic of me, but absolutely a reaction to having my back up against a wall. When I considered my circumstances, the visuals were apparent: a wall of fists. I was like, 'here's your performative act!'"
The work that followed wouldn't be so obvious. Needing to expand on that piece with material of more substance, Bird began developing deliberate soundscapes to go with his work and the process of doing so lead him into a more ambiguous headspace. Marrying research into Joseph Campbell and Carl Jung, Bird looked to produce work that tapped into a collective unconscious. In so doing, he found a different source of inspiration.
"It sounds very new age-ish, but I became aware at the time that I had begun receiving visual ideas that had no apparent root in my everyday life or relationships. There was this mental wavelength I was receiving that spoke to me in visuals. I took note of what I found and the work that has followed ever since has come from the same process. I meditate, quiet my mind, and listen. In the emptiness, the visuals are just there to be found."
The pace and complexity of the ideas began to evolve though, especially after finishing grad school in 2007.
"The more I listened, the more elaborate the visuals became, and I was aware that my means for interpreting and transcribing the ideas needed to change to suit them. I shifted focus and started making a body of work that was more firmly rooted in still photography."
That body of work is varied; some pieces feature assemblies of body parts, reformatted to imply creatures with threatening objects. Other pieces feature the artist with a variety of characters cast in a primal, mythological play in which the moon seems to watch over and torture the actors.
"I really loathe artwork about art, so I try to make certain my work functions on a level that doesn't require a lot of backstory. I'd rather inspire and collaborate with my viewer. Ambiguity is the real gift of 20th century art and I celebrate that. I don't want the viewer to feel an obligation to 'get' my work. If it has something to offer you, even if it is something you cannot verbalize, then I'm pleased. I'm not sure that even I can always verbalize my work. Viewers give me a lot of very intense interpretations and I'm always gratified to hear them."
"It isn't to say that there isn't a good deal of thought and consideration that goes into my work, but it is to say that if I meant for anyone to receive my work didactically, I should just write it in an editorial and call it a day. In the end, I just don't want to deprive my viewer of the opportunity to have a two-way relationship with my work, because I've always loved what ambiguity in art has inspired in me."

A Basket of Despicables
by Prelutsky
One of the best things about Donald Trump's victory over liar-Hillary Clinton is that it served to remind us that, in spite of a corrupt press; an education system that is dominated by the Left; a popular culture TV, movies, magazines and social media that is run by and for liberals; and a party that can always rely on deep-pocketed billionaires like scum-George Soros, Bill Gates, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Mark Zuckerberg; there are still enough clear-thinking Americans around to turn over their apple cart.
⦿ Although I keep trying to tell myself that all liberals aren't out to destroy the nation, I find I can't quite persuade myself. That's because they are not only wrong on every single issue, but because they tell so many lies. People can be mistaken, but when they themselves lie or pretend to believe the obvious lies of others, they're not merely misguided, they're evil.
For instance, because it's so imperative to feminist zealots to portray men in the worst light possible, they pretend to believe that one in three or four coeds will be raped during her four years in college statistics you probably wouldn't believe in a war zone, and yet they continue to encourage their own daughters to attend college.
⦿ Speaking of hypocrites, James Comey said that although there's not a chance in the world that Mrs. Comey would ever believe it if a dossier turned up claiming that while in Moscow he had invited Russian prostitutes to come to his hotel room and urinate on him, he figured there was a chance that Melania would believe it of her husband. Before I jumped to any conclusions, I checked with my wife and asked if she would believe it of me. She assured me she wouldn't.
When Comey was then asked if he believed it of President Trump, he said he thought it was possible. Which is exactly the sort of weaselly answer you would expect from him. It's possible? I suppose it's also possible that in a certain light, I look like Brad Pitt. It's possible that if I jumped off a cliff and waved my arms, I could fly. Heck, it's even possible that liar-Hillary Clinton is the Creature from the Black Lagoon. Okay, granted, some things are more plausible than others.
⦿ scum-Eric Holder, the only Attorney General in American history to have ever been cited for contempt of Congress, said "James Comey is an honest man who made a few mistakes."
For the record, others have said similar things about Al Capone, Joseph Stalin and Pontius Pilate.
scum-Holder, the only Attorney General who may have been even worse than Loretta Lynch, is rumored to be considering a run for the presidency in 2020. It could make for a fascinating primary if those likely to toss their hats in the ring actually wind up including scum-Holder, Elizabeth dinky-Warren, commie-Bernie Sanders, loose lips-Joe Biden, Tom Perez, Kamala Harris, Andrew Cuomo, Bill DiBlasio, scum-Adam Schiff and Cory Booker. If they were all on a debate stage together, it would be reminiscent of the bar scene in the original "Star Wars." The only thing missing would be someone with tentacles and three eyes. But even that could be covered if Mrs. liar-Clinton decides to give it one more try.
⦿ Having finished reading Ron Kessler's "The Trump White House," I got back to Peter Schweizer's "Secret Empires." I had left off after reading how the corrupt son of loose lips-Joe Biden and the equally corrupt step-son of hanoi-John Kerry have made their fortune by joining forces to cash in on the power and influence of their relatives. Now I discover that Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and his wife, Elaine Chao, who was Secretary of Labor under George W. Bush and is the Secretary of Transportation under Donald Trump, have not only increased their personal fortunes because of their close ties to China's military-industrial complex through her father, but the ties have caused McConnell to radically transform his attitude towards the risk China poses to the U.S.
I wonder how many Republicans in Kentucky would re-elect McConnell if they had any idea how unlikely it is that Sen. McConnell would ever do, say or cast a vote, that could possibly offend his business associates in Beijing.
To quote my wife, Yvonne: "All Americans should band together and boycott products labeled 'Made in China.' This act alone would send a powerful message that we're tired of their stealing our intellectual properties. Cause and effect. We should not reward bad behavior. Not only that, but they're dumping inferior products on us. If we boycotted their stuff, it wouldn't call for an act of Congress, it would be the citizens rising up against unfair trade deals.
"The public needs to learn that 'Made in the USA' represents quality because goods are regulated here. That's why foreign pet food, especially the garbage from China, kills our pets. It is not only unsafe and unwise to buy Chinese products, it's not patriotic."
⦿ I hope it's not too late for you to save your time and money if you're considering the movie titled "Chappaquiddick." Assuming you know the facts related to Sen. Ted Kennedy's driving his car off a narrow bridge, leaving his passenger Mary Jo Kopechne with the option of drowning or suffocating, the movie has nothing new to offer.
For one thing, it not only doesn't divulge how Kennedy managed to escape from a car that was upside down in the water with closed doors and windows, but the characters in the movie don't even theorize about the mystery. For another thing, it would have us believe that the party on Chappaquiddick Island that consisted of Kennedy, Kopechne, half a dozen middle-aged political hangers-on and half a dozen political groupies in their 20s, at which liquor flowed like, well, liquor, was as innocent at a sleepover involving seven-year-old Brownies.
The portrayal of Sen. Kennedy is disgustingly sympathetic. It presents him as something of a victim, the youngest of four sons who hungered for his father's approval; and as a man who almost did the right thing until, at the last minute, he realized that if he didn't let the Kennedy sycophants cover for him, his political career would be over and he might even go to jail.
But inasmuch as he neglected to report the accident for nine hours and initially wanted to claim that the young woman had been driving, and, in the aftermath, took to wearing an unnecessary neck brace for sympathy, the notion that he was a man wrestling with his soul fails to gain traction, no matter how often the director shows him sitting alone with a furrowed brow.
⦿ Those of you who haven't quite finished making out your summer reading list will no doubt be interested to know that David Hogg and his kid sister Lauren have a book coming out in June titled "Never Again." It will relate how these two wunderkinds survived the massacre at Stoneman Douglas High School. And if that's not enough to wow you, they vow that the book's profits will be used "to heal the community." Although they don't mention how.
I have learned a few things about the Hoggs along the way. They may or may not make it into the book, whose title makes a travesty of the Holocaust, but they include the fact that David is a proud member of the ACLU. He tried to use his new-found fame to drive Laura Ingraham off the air for daring to be a member of the Never-Hogg movement. Now that his ego has expanded to planet-sized dimensions, he has announced to his Facebook followers: "Going to announce another boycott this week…Stay tuned!" It was accompanied by a smiley face and used a picture of Kermit the Frog to accompany the breathless message. It made me wonder if that wasn't a copyright infringement, and made me hope the little snot would be hearing from Kermit's lawyers.
I assumed that David wasn't a self-made idiot and looked into who his parents are.
His father, Kevin, 51, retired from the FBI in 2014, and no doubt would have been in cahoots with Comey, McCabe and Strzok, if he'd stuck around. His mother, Rebecca, who teaches in the Broward County School system, hates Trump so much that a year ago she shared the following message on Facebook: "I can't be silent any more. I tried to be respectful during the election, but I can't sit by and do nothing with what is going on currently in the USA. It's horrifying. If you like what Trump is currently doing, please unfriendly or block me because you won't like what I am going to post."
For his part, David had this to say about mom and dad: "The reason my parents saved so much for my college is because both were kicked out of there house at 18 and had to pay their way through college."
I understand the kid is supposed to be brilliant, but here he is at 18 and still confusing "there" for "their."
Without the slightest intention of being ironic, David has said that the thing he most admires about his father is that he can see both sides of an issue. That being the case, it's hard to believe that his son is arrogant enough to assume that he, a teenager, is right about the Second Amendment, and all the rest of us are not only wrong, but evil.
Which reminds me, I have a bone to pick with William Shakespeare, who, you might recall, wrote "This above all: to thine own self be true, and it must follow, as the night the day, thou canst not be false to any man."
Lots of people are true to themselves but they lie to other people. They tell themselves that their falsehoods are justified because they're good people and they know best. Such people often pursue careers in politics and journalism.
⦿ I used to be convinced that hanoi-John Kerry looked more like a horse than anything could that lacked hooves and a tail. But that was before John Mueller trotted onto the scene.

The Brazilian striker said that he was glad that the move to Manchester City happened as he said that he was welcomed well by the club and the supporters despite Manchester being much colder than Madrid!
"I wanted to go to Chelsea, (former Chelsea coach Luiz Felipe) Scolari told me that I could make the difference for him in the team", he said, according to Marca.
Chelsea winger, Willian Borges da Silva, popularly known as Willian, has dismissed rumours that he wanted to leave Chelsea during the summer transfer window.
"But that's also the quality of Real Madrid, that's not saying Chelsea doesn't have quality".
"I am sure it was this that led to the negotiations to fail and it was a case of pride for Real Madrid".
Chelsea are not the only English club that overpaid in their summer dealings, with Everton's move for Yerry Mina, Danny Ings' switch from Liverpool to Southampton and Bournemouth's deal for Jefferson Lerma among the top-10 over-inflated deals.
"I hope they can go on and win the league".
'I always say that I want to stay at Chelsea as long as possible and I am happy to stay here.
But Robinho ended up at Manchester City on deadline day, completing a shock £32.5m to be Sheikh Mansour's first statement of intent after taking over the club.
The 30-year-old's hopes of securing a new two-year deal are, however, complicated by Chelsea's policy of usually only offering one-year contracts to players who are 30 or over. He went on to make 154 appearances for the club, securing another league title, an FA Cup and a League Cup. "I loved playing there".
"Milan, I was surrounded by great players; it wasn't the same at City".

My Way or the Highway (please tell me I'm not the only one that thought of that awful Limp Bizkit song when I saw the name of this polish?!) is a bright turquoise creme. No issues with formula or application. This is 2 coats.
More to Explore is a soft coral creme. No issues with formula or application. This is 3 coats.
Pop the Trunk is a bright orange creme. I LOVE this shade. No issues with formula or application. This is 3 coats, but you could pull it off with 2 coats.
License and Registration Pls is a gorgeous marine blue creme. This is by far my favorite from the entire collection. This is 2 coats.
Final thoughts: This collection is nothing "unique" in any way, but I love creme's and there are so many fun shades that can be used for spring OR summer. Overall, I was pleased, even though there were a few issues with the formula for some of them. You can pick up this collection at Sally's, Ulta, or where I got them Head2ToeBeauty. If you missed the first half of this collection, you can find it HERE.

Q: Why does forking my process cause the file to be read infinitely I've boiled down my entire program to a short main that replicates the issue, so forgive me for it not making any sense.
input.txt is a text file that has a couple lines of text in it. This boiled down program should print those lines. However, if fork is called, the program enters an infinite loop where it prints the contents of the file over and over again.
As far as I understand fork, the way I use it in this snippet is essentially a no-op. It forks, the parent waits for the child before continuing, and the child is immediately killed.
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>

enum { MAX = 100 };

int main(){
    freopen("input.txt", "r", stdin);
    char s[MAX];

    int i = 0;
    char* ret = fgets(s, MAX, stdin);
    while (ret != NULL) {
        //Commenting out this region fixes the issue
        int status;
        pid_t pid = fork();
        if (pid == 0) {
            exit(0);
        } else {
            waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
        }
        //End region
        printf("%s", s);
        ret = fgets(s, MAX, stdin);
    }
}

Edit: Further investigation has only made my issue stranger. If the file contains <4 blank lines or <3 lines of text, it does not break. However, if there are more than that, it loops infinitely.
Edit2: If the file contains numbers 3 lines of numbers it will infinitely loop, but if it contains 3 lines of words it will not.

A: The exit() call closes all open file handles. After the fork, the child and parent have identical copies of the execution stack, including the FileHandle pointer. When the child exits, it closes the file and resets the pointer.
  int main(){
        freopen("input.txt", "r", stdin);
        char s[MAX];
        prompt(s);
        int i = 0;
        char* ret = fgets(s, MAX, stdin);
        while (ret != NULL) {
            //Commenting out this region fixes the issue
            int status;
            pid_t pid = fork();   // At this point both processes has a copy of the filehandle
            if (pid == 0) {
                exit(0);          // At this point the child closes the filehandle
            } else {
                waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
            }
            //End region
            printf("%s", s);
            ret = fgets(s, MAX, stdin);
        }
    }

A: I am surprised that there is a problem, but it does seem to be a problem on Linux (I tested on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS running in a VMWare Fusion VM on my Mac) — but it was not a problem on my Mac running macOS 10.13.4 (High Sierra), and I wouldn't expect it to be a problem on other variants of Unix either.
As I noted in a comment:

There's an open file description and an open file descriptor behind each stream. When the process forks, the child has its own set of open file descriptors (and file streams), but each file descriptor in the child shares the open file description with the parent. IF (and that's a big 'if') the child process closing the file descriptors first did the equivalent of lseek(fd, 0, SEEK_SET), then that would also position the file descriptor for the parent process, and that could lead to an infinite loop. However, I've never heard of a library that does that seek; there's no reason to do it.

See POSIX open() and fork() for more information about open file descriptors and open file descriptions.
The open file descriptors are private to a process; the open file descriptions are shared by all copies of the file descriptor created by an initial 'open file' operation.  One of the key properties of the open file description is the current seek position.  That means that a child process can change the current seek position for a parent — because it is in the shared open file description.
neof97.c
I used the following code — a mildly adapted version of the original that compiles cleanly with rigorous compilation options:
#include "posixver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>

enum { MAX = 100 };

int main(void)
{
    if (freopen("input.txt", "r", stdin) == 0)
        return 1;
    char s[MAX];
    for (int i = 0; i < 30 && fgets(s, MAX, stdin) != NULL; i++)
    {
        // Commenting out this region fixes the issue
        int status;
        pid_t pid = fork();
        if (pid == 0)
        {
            exit(0);
        }
        else
        {
            waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
        }
        // End region
        printf("%s", s);
    }
    return 0;
}

One of the modifications limits the number of cycles (children) to just 30.
I used a data file with 4 lines of 20 random letters plus a newline (84 bytes total):
ywYaGKiRtAwzaBbuzvNb
eRsjPoBaIdxZZtJWfSty
uGnxGhSluywhlAEBIXNP
plRXLszVvPgZhAdTLlYe

I ran the command under strace on Ubuntu:
$ strace -ff -o st-out -- neof97
ywYaGKiRtAwzaBbuzvNb
eRsjPoBaIdxZZtJWfSty
uGnxGhSluywhlAEBIXNP
plRXLszVvPgZhAdTLlYe
…
uGnxGhSluywhlAEBIXNP
plRXLszVvPgZhAdTLlYe
ywYaGKiRtAwzaBbuzvNb
eRsjPoBaIdxZZtJWfSty
$

There were 31 files with names of the form st-out.808## where the hashes were 2-digit numbers.  The main process file was quite large; the others were small, with one of the sizes 66, 110, 111, or 137:
$ cat st-out.80833
lseek(0, -63, SEEK_CUR)                 = 21
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++
$ cat st-out.80834
lseek(0, -42, SEEK_CUR)                 = -1 EINVAL (Invalid argument)
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++
$ cat st-out.80835
lseek(0, -21, SEEK_CUR)                 = 0
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++
$ cat st-out.80836
exit_group(0)                           = ?
+++ exited with 0 +++
$

It just so happened that the first 4 children each exhibited one of the four behaviours — and each further set of 4 children exhibited the same pattern.
This shows that three out of four of the children were indeed doing an lseek() on standard input before exiting.  Obviously, I have now seen a library do it.  I have no idea why it is thought to be a good idea, though, but empirically, that is what is happening.
neof67.c
This version of the code, using a separate file stream (and file descriptor) and fopen() instead of freopen() also runs into the problem.
#include "posixver.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <sys/wait.h>
#include <unistd.h>

enum { MAX = 100 };

int main(void)
{
    FILE *fp = fopen("input.txt", "r");
    if (fp == 0)
        return 1;
    char s[MAX];
    for (int i = 0; i < 30 && fgets(s, MAX, fp) != NULL; i++)
    {
        // Commenting out this region fixes the issue
        int status;
        pid_t pid = fork();
        if (pid == 0)
        {
            exit(0);
        }
        else
        {
            waitpid(pid, &status, 0);
        }
        // End region
        printf("%s", s);
    }
    return 0;
}

This also exhibits the same behaviour, except that the file descriptor on which the seek occurs is 3 instead of 0.  So, two of my hypotheses are disproven — it's related to freopen() and stdin; both are shown incorrect by the second test code.
Preliminary diagnosis
IMO, this is a bug.  You should not be able to run into this problem.
It is most likely a bug in the Linux (GNU C) library rather than the kernel.  It is caused by the lseek() in the child processes.  It is not clear (because I've not gone to look at the source code) what the library is doing or why.

GLIBC Bug 23151
GLIBC Bug 23151 - A forked process with unclosed file does lseek before exit and can cause infinite loop in parent I/O.
The bug was created 2018-05-08 US/Pacific, and was closed as INVALID by 2018-05-09.  The reason given was:

Please read
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/V2_chap02.html#tag_15_05_01,
especially this paragraph:

Note that after a fork(), two handles exist where one existed before. […]

POSIX
The complete section of POSIX referred to (apart from verbiage noting that this is not covered by the C standard) is this:

2.5.1 Interaction of File Descriptors and Standard I/O Streams
An open file description may be accessed through a file descriptor, which is created using functions such as open() or pipe(), or through a stream, which is created using functions such as fopen() or popen(). Either a file descriptor or a stream is called a "handle" on the open file description to which it refers; an open file description may have several handles.
Handles can be created or destroyed by explicit user action, without affecting the underlying open file description. Some of the ways to create them include fcntl(), dup(), fdopen(), fileno(), and fork(). They can be destroyed by at least fclose(), close(), and the exec functions.
A file descriptor that is never used in an operation that could affect the file offset (for example, read(), write(), or lseek()) is not considered a handle for this discussion, but could give rise to one (for example, as a consequence of fdopen(), dup(), or fork()). This exception does not include the file descriptor underlying a stream, whether created with fopen() or fdopen(), so long as it is not used directly by the application to affect the file offset. The read() and write() functions implicitly affect the file offset; lseek() explicitly affects it.
The result of function calls involving any one handle (the "active handle") is defined elsewhere in this volume of POSIX.1-2017, but if two or more handles are used, and any one of them is a stream, the application shall ensure that their actions are coordinated as described below. If this is not done, the result is undefined.
A handle which is a stream is considered to be closed when either an fclose(), or freopen() with non-full(1) filename, is executed on it (for freopen() with a null filename, it is implementation-defined whether a new handle is created or the existing one reused), or when the process owning that stream terminates with exit(), abort(), or due to a signal. A file descriptor is closed by close(), _exit(), or the exec() functions when FD_CLOEXEC is set on that file descriptor.

(1) [sic] Using 'non-full' is probably a typo for 'non-null'.

For a handle to become the active handle, the application shall ensure that the actions below are performed between the last use of the handle (the current active handle) and the first use of the second handle (the future active handle). The second handle then becomes the active handle. All activity by the application affecting the file offset on the first handle shall be suspended until it again becomes the active file handle. (If a stream function has as an underlying function one that affects the file offset, the stream function shall be considered to affect the file offset.)
The handles need not be in the same process for these rules to apply.
Note that after a fork(), two handles exist where one existed before. The application shall ensure that, if both handles can ever be accessed, they are both in a state where the other could become the active handle first. The application shall prepare for a fork() exactly as if it were a change of active handle. (If the only action performed by one of the processes is one of the exec() functions or _exit() (not exit()), the handle is never accessed in that process.)
For the first handle, the first applicable condition below applies. After the actions required below are taken, if the handle is still open, the application can close it.

*

*If it is a file descriptor, no action is required.

*If the only further action to be performed on any handle to this open file descriptor is to close it, no action need be taken.

*If it is a stream which is unbuffered, no action need be taken.

*If it is a stream which is line buffered, and the last byte written to the stream was a <newline> (that is, as if a
putc('\n')
was the most recent operation on that stream), no action need be taken.

*If it is a stream which is open for writing or appending (but not also open for reading), the application shall either perform an fflush(), or the stream shall be closed.

*If the stream is open for reading and it is at the end of the file (feof() is true), no action need be taken.

*If the stream is open with a mode that allows reading and the underlying open file description refers to a device that is capable of seeking, the application shall either perform an fflush(), or the stream shall be closed.
For the second handle:

*

*If any previous active handle has been used by a function that explicitly changed the file offset, except as required above for the first handle, the application shall perform an lseek() or fseek() (as appropriate to the type of handle) to an appropriate location.

If the active handle ceases to be accessible before the requirements on the first handle, above, have been met, the state of the open file description becomes undefined. This might occur during functions such as a fork() or _exit().
The exec() functions make inaccessible all streams that are open at the time they are called, independent of which streams or file descriptors may be available to the new process image.
When these rules are followed, regardless of the sequence of handles used, implementations shall ensure that an application, even one consisting of several processes, shall yield correct results: no data shall be lost or duplicated when writing, and all data shall be written in order, except as requested by seeks. It is implementation-defined whether, and under what conditions, all input is seen exactly once.
Each function that operates on a stream is said to have zero or more "underlying functions". This means that the stream function shares certain traits with the underlying functions, but does not require that there be any relation between the implementations of the stream function and its underlying functions.

Exegesis
That is hard reading!  If you're not clear on the distinction between open file descriptor and open file description, read the specification of open() and fork() (and dup() or dup2()).  The definitions for file descriptor and open file description are also relevant, if terse.
In the context of the code in this question (and also for Unwanted child processes being created while file reading), we have a file stream handle open for reading only which has not yet encountered EOF (so feof() would not return true, even though the read position is at the end of the file).
One of the crucial parts of the specification is: The application shall prepare for a fork() exactly as if it were a change of active handle.
This means that the steps outlined for 'first file handle' are relevant, and stepping through them, the first applicable condition is the last:

*

*If the stream is open with a mode that allows reading and the underlying open file description refers to a device that is capable of seeking, the application shall either perform an fflush(), or the stream shall be closed.

If you look at the definition for fflush(), you find:

If stream points to an output stream or an update stream in which the most recent operation was not input, fflush() shall cause any unwritten data for that stream to be written to the file, [CX] ⌦  and the last data modification and last file status change timestamps of the underlying file shall be marked for update.
For a stream open for reading with an underlying file description, if the file is not already at EOF, and the file is one capable of seeking, the file offset of the underlying open file description shall be set to the file position of the stream, and any characters pushed back onto the stream by ungetc() or ungetwc() that have not subsequently been read from the stream shall be discarded (without further changing the file offset). ⌫

It isn't exactly clear what happens if you apply fflush() to an input stream associated with a non-seekable file, but that isn't our immediate concern.  However, if you're writing generic library code, then you might need to know whether the underlying file descriptor is seekable before doing a fflush() on the stream.  Alternatively, use fflush(NULL) to have the system do whatever is necessary for all I/O streams, noting that this will lose any pushed-back characters (via ungetc() etc).
The lseek() operations shown in the strace output seem to be implementing the fflush() semantics associating the file offset of the open file description with the file position of the stream.
So, for the code in this question, it seems that fflush(stdin) is necessary before the fork() to ensure consistency.  Not doing that leads to undefined behaviour ('if this is not done, the result is undefined') — such as looping indefinitely.

A: As /u/visibleman pointed out, the child thread is closing the file and messing things up in main.
I was able to work around it by checking if the program is in terminal mode with
!isatty(fileno(stdin))

And if stdin has been redirected, then it will read all of it into a linkedlist before doing any processing or forking.

A: Replace exit(0) with _exit(0), and all is fine.   This is an old unix tradition, if you are using stdio, your forked image must use _exit(), not exit().

Aliso Viejo is a city in the San Joaquin Hills of southern Orange County, California. It had a population of 47,823 as of the 2010 census, up from 40,166 as of the 2000 census. It became Orange County's 34th city on July 1, 2001, the only city in Orange County to be incorporated since 2000. It is bordered by the cities of Laguna Beach on the west and southwest, Laguna Hills on the east, Laguna Niguel on the southeast, and Laguna Woods on the north.
The planned community of Aliso Viejo's original 6,600 acres were once part of the 26,000-acre Moulton Ranch, owned by the Moulton family, who took title in the 1890s to land originally granted to Juan Avila by the Mexican government in 1842. Over the years, portions of the ranch were sold and became Leisure World, Laguna Hills and Laguna Niguel. In 1976, the Mission Viejo Company purchased the remaining 6,600 acres to create a new planned community – Aliso Viejo – with a master plan for 20,000 homes for a planned population of 50,000. The master plan was approved by the Orange County in 1979, and homes were first offered for sale in March 1982. Aliso Viejo's first family moved in that November. As part of the project, 2,600 acres were dedicated to Orange County as part of the Aliso and Wood Canyons Wilderness Park, and 800 additional acres were set aside for local parks, recreation, schools and community facilities. The Aliso Viejo Community Association (AVCA) was set up to manage the local parks and community open space. It was the first community-wide association of its kind in California and has the unique ability to provide a full-range of community services and facilities.
Aliso Viejo was the first planned community in California to plan a balance between the projected resident work force and the number of projected jobs within its borders. Pacific Park, the centrally located 900-acre business park and town center, was expected to ultimately provide more than 22,000 jobs. Every home in Aliso Viejo was located about 1 1/2 miles from Pacific Park, to encourage live-and-work opportunities.
Aliso Viejo had been an unincorporated community since 1979, and incorporated as a city in 2001 due to the efforts of the Aliso Viejo Cityhood 2000 Committee, which was responsible for introducing an initiative on the ballot for the 2001 special election. Voters passed the initiative with 93.3% in favor of incorporation. Carmen Vali-Cave, the co-founder and president of the Committee, became the new city's first mayor.
The seal of the city of Aliso Viejo was adopted in 2001 at incorporation. The seal features several mountains, a boat, a tree, and several buildings. Also, the seal features the slogan "Since 2001", in celebration of the city's incorporation date.
Aliso Viejo is located at 33°34′30″N 117°43′32″W / 33.575°N 117.72556°W / 33.575; -117.72556 (33.575096, -117.725431) in the San Joaquin Hills of Orange County. According to the Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.5 square miles (19 km2), all of which is land. Aliso Viejo is one of several cities bordering Aliso and Wood Canyons Regional Park. Aliso Creek forms part of the city's boundary with Laguna Niguel to the south, and Wood Canyon Creek forms part of the city's western boundary. Much of the city rests on the east slope of the San Joaquin Hills, which are a coastal mountain range extending for about 15 miles (24 km) along the Pacific coast.
