flying, new york and the start of my adventures

Sorry I haven't blogged for sooo long. After my last post I was caught up in the flurry of getting work finished, presents wrapped and distributed, planning and preparing for my trip away (all by mid December). It was a whirl of activity and sadly I just didn't have time to post anything!! Then I was off on a big adventure to New York and Pennsylvania. I left on the 16th of December and returned exactly four weeks later. So much happened on my trip and I have so many things I want to share..... so to make it more manageable I am going to post things in small bites..... the things that I saw, that captivated and inspired that me, the experiences and great times that I had with family, friends and my adopted American family (I'll explain that relationship in a later post!)

I flew to LA via Tahiti. It was a very long flight (with no sleep) so I was very happy to land in LA. I had a three and half hour gap between landing and flying on to New York, which seemed ample in the planning stages. LAX was mad.... it took us half an hour to taxi in as there was no space for us to disembark. When we finally did, the queues for immigration and customs looped their way all around the terminal. I was sleep deprived and trying not to panic as the time kept ticking by and I was still in the queue!! Finally exactly 30 minutes before my New York flight took off, I was free and running to the Delta terminal. Phew! I made it with 15 minutes to spare!! Yay! The relief of getting on the flight was only slightly marred by a very unhappy baby and the barking/whining dog on our flight. Yes, a dog!! Never mind, at least I was on my way!!

People talk about the excitement and romance of travel. I had forgotten that long distance flights are a marathon that you have to endure the best way that you can under trying circumstances, often with severe sleep deprivation!! It's funny though, how this all fades when you arrive at your destination and the excitement truly kicks in! It was night when we flew into New York and the city lights were spectacular. Even from the height we were flying at, you could clearly see houses, buildings and whole streets fully decked out in Christmas lights! We landed and there were no queues and dramas. I just had to pick up my bags, grab a yellow cab and head into Manhattan. I was in NEW YORK!!! I was soooo excited. The last time I visited New York was in summer, three and a half years ago. Now I was seeing it in winter, all decked out for Christmas. I was so happy to arrive, eat some dinner, have a shower and get some sleep. Bed! Yay!!

It's amazing what a good night's sleep does for you. I spent the next two days exploring, shopping, eating and generally walking around being completely stunned by the energy, excitement, beauty, grit and the appearance of the unexpected that is New York. It was cold. The brisk kind of cold that takes your breath away. I loved wrapping up in my coat, boots, hat, scarf and gloves.

I loved the Christmas tree stands that were everywhere. At first I thought the trees were artificial as they look so perfect and symmetrical. They have branches that are perfectly shaped for hanging ornaments on. But no, after touching one I found out that they were real (and very prickly)! They smell so gorgeous too. The scent of Christmas on every street corner!!

Another unique American Christmas treat.... giant chocolate chip "holiday" cookies. Yes that's right, a pizza-sized cookie ready in 15 minutes!! The perfect gift for the person who has everything!

I also caught up with New Zealand friends Max and Jess. Jess is completing her doctorate at NYU so has made New York her home. The last time I saw them was in Auckland and yet it seemed so natural to be walking the streets of New York with them. You never know what you will find in New York, it's full of surprises. We walked around the corner straight into a multi-cultural festive street parade!

So this is the beginning of my adventures..... Next post - New York Christmas lights.

Crafty Creatives Box 5

Hurrah it's that time again when the Crafty Creatives box arrives on our doorsteps (or rather in my case at the local sorting office!). This month I've tried to get stuck in straight away to show you my makes from the box rather than just talking about the contents. I hope you find some of these ideas useful!

cratypainter: Crafty Creatives art card
Here's a quick breakdown of the Nostalgic theme box contents (the art card this month has a beautiful illustration by Jo Askey):
  • The kit: a crochet mouse
  • Printed fabric
  • 1.5m festive ribbon
  • Vintage style Alice in Wonderland postcard
  • Jingle bells
  • 3 carousel pendants
  • Mini tea cup and saucer
  • 2 card layers
  • 2 wreath rings
  • Wooden girl and bunny
  • Edging scissors
  • Bunch of cinnamon sticks
  • Sheet of Christmas scraps
First up I got started on the mini wreath rings, using just thin strips of fabric about an inch wide I got wrapping, once I had wrapped all the way around I tied some ribbon tightly to hold in place, adding the carousel charms and finishing off with a bow.

craftypainter: mini Christmas wreaths
Next I used some of the Christmas ribbon to make these festive gift tags. The strips are glued onto ready-made plain tags using the wonderful Fabri-tac glue from Box 1 (actually I'm on my third bottle already). Once dry the ends are snipped off and the glue prevents any fraying.

craftypainter: Christmas gift tags

I glued the cup and saucer together to make a cute little charm (I just need to get my hands on a simple silver bracelet to attach it to).

craftypainter: tea cup charm

And then I got started on the crochet mouse, perfect activity for my day off when I needed some distracting. My first attempt was a bit of a disaster, I think the instructions were written in US terms and I've only used British but once converted it was really straight forward, here he is with the Candy cat.

craftypainter: Craty Creatives kit - crochet mouse
Finally, I strung the little jingle bells onto some 3mm ribbon to make a jingly festive garland. I glued the end of the ribbon first and rolled it to make it pointy so that I could thread the bells on. Once finished I snipped of the glued end and knotted it to stop the bells coming off. I distanced them equally along the length (about 3m) and the ribbon is just think enough that the bells stay in place without any knots.

craftypainter: bell garland

Of course I haven't used everything yet but I do have some plans... the cinnamon sticks will be made in to decorations with slices of dried orange and ribbon, and the beautiful wooden girl and bunny will become tree decorations and I think the printed fabric will look great as part of a quilt.
craftypainter: Crafty Creative Box 5
I'd love to hear your ideas for any of the items or let me know what you have made with the things in your box.

  1. What lovely things you have made! Such a lot of potential makes delivered in a box!
    Wendy x

    1. Thank you! It's so much fun thinking up what to make!

  2. Love your mouse! He's so cute! xxx

    1. Thank you, I tried to get the cat to pose with him but she wasn't having it. x

  3. Wow - this is such a fab thing to subscribe to! I love seeing what you get.

    Am loving the jingly festive garland. I think I have some bells somewhere - I may have to steal that. Also I love the page of Christmas Scraps - when I was young my grandmother would always seem to have pages like that.

    1. I haven't decided what to do with scraps yet, I'm thinking of maybe decorating my present wrapping with them. Need to buy the presents first though! x

My Boyfriend is So Awesome!

     My TV boyfriend, that is!

     Hi Everyone!

     Back in November, HGTV's celebrity designer, John Gidding, told all of his Facebook friends that when he hit 10,000 Facebook fans, he would do something special. The next day told his fans to send him their mailing addresses and the first 500 would receive an autographed copy of one of John's awesome sketches for Curb Appeal The Block.

Merry Christmas to me!!!

The Adventures of Molly:
Fall at the Farm

The fruit trees have done really well this year. Earlier I got lots of cherries, then a big crop of plums. Now it's time for pears and apples. First I'm going to tackle the pears. Lots of great pears are way up high -- of course!
These pears will make tasty eating!
The ladder couldn't get up under these branches, so I had to climb up to get to the apples. I'll be making a lot of applesauce this year.
I think I've done enough fruit picking for now. It's time to supervise my minions. "Get to work, minions!"
The minions seem to be working well, so I can sneak in a little siesta.

I have a lot of property to take care of. Some of it is set up for pasture, and some isn't. I'm taking a few minutes to look over a choice location for a new pasture (and prime grazing).
[Molly's view]

Now, I need to get the tractor out to mow this area down so I can get it ready to be a good pasture next year. I'll head to the barn to get out that old tractor...

Uh-oh. There seems to be a bit of a problem here!
I think I've got it...

Off we go!

One of the best times on the farm is relaxing on the porch after a hard day's work. Cool breezes, a great view, cold water from the well... ahh... a cow's life!

Oprah, to end "The Oprah Winfrey Show"

Who among you girls love Oprah? And who loves watching "The Oprah Winfrey Show"? If you do, then make sure not to miss today's show, November 20, because Oprah will be announcing her decision to end the "what is arguably one of the most popular, influential and enduring programs in television history," [Tim Bennett, the President of Harpo announced through a letter. Read the story here.]
What exactly were the reasons that pushed Oprah to finalize her decision? And what would be her next move after the show closes at the end of its 25th season? That, hopefully, Oprah would discuss.

I once said in a post that Oprah, through her show, can make or break a career. If we weigh the records however, she had made more careers than she had broke. Unfortunate are those who are dreaming to get a chance to be envited at her show, because if they won't hurry, they might never get a chance.

By the way, do you think the photo above is of real Oprah? Was she, ever, this sexy? Check this site to find out.

Happy weekend girls.

Oprah was close to tears and choked while announcing her decision to end the show. She thanked all her viewers for inviting her into their living room, into their kitchen and into their lives. She said that after careful thoughts and with so much prayers she has made the decision to pick the number 25 as the best number to end her show. She meant 25 years, 25th season, of serving the mankind and leaving a legacy.

She will definitely be missed.

  1. I'll be honest...I've never even seen a single episode of Oprah before. But, I feel that she did pave the path, and make a lot of strides for females in the entertainment industry, so it will be sad to see her go. :)

  2. I love Oprah and I wish the show won't end.

  3. I've watched her show on and off since I was a baby. Her show is part of my life, a part of my childhood and the fact it's leaving air makes me SO sad. :( Plus, her show has helped so many people. My high school PE teacher made us watch Oprah to learn self-defense techniques, sex ed, and other health-related topics. Her show is so useful!! Plus, all her celebrity interviews are brilliant.
    That is going to be a show much missed.

  4. I definitely think Oprah is an amazing woman. Although I do not watch her show, I do think it will be disappointing for her viewers when the show ends. I am hearing that she is supposedly looking to host a smaller show.

  5. I think it is very sad, ending a legacy that way. That woman is definitely an empire.

  6. Hold on! Thats Oprah and she is quitting, what?

Thank you for your time and for your sweet comments. I assure to visit you back shortly. Hugs :)

Facebook Ousts Google As Most Popular Web Site

Facebook has become the most visited site in the US, the first time Google hasn't held the top spot since 2007.

According to internet monitors Hitwise in the week ending March 13 Facebook accounted for 7.07 per cent of web visits, compared to Google's 7.03 per cent.

“The market share of visits to Facebook.com increased 185 per cent last week as compared to the same week in 2009, while visits to Google.com increased nine per cent during the same time frame,” said Heather Dougherty, research director at Hitwise, in a blog posting.

“Together Facebook.com and Google.com accounted for 14 per cent of all US Internet visits last week. “

Facebook was also the most popular site on Christmas Eve, Christmas Day and New Year's Day, as well as the weekend of March 6-7. The last time Google wasn't the most popular site was September 2007, when MySpace displaced it.

Facebook's traffic dipped towards the end of last year but the success of games like Farmville have boosted traffic significantly.

Shock Hydrodynamics UQ

Uncertainty Quantification in the Upscaling of Thermodynamic Properties in Shock Hydrodynamics

Shock hydrodynamics simulations rely on an equation of state (EOS) to determine thermodynamic properties of materials. Uncertainties exist in these EOSs that stem from

  • noise in the experimental data used to build the EOS,
  • uncertainty in quantum-level simulations that inform the EOS, and
  • the choice of EOS functional form.

Sandia’s computational researchers are developing approaches to propagate uncertainties from the experimental data and quantum simulations through the EOS model and into the continuum hydrodynamics code. The goal is to allow the assessment of the predictive fidelity of shock hydrodynamics simulations and to assist analysts in determining the key sources of uncertainty in the model predictions. This work is in collaboration with Sandia’s Shock and Multiphysics Department using the integrated DAKOTA interface in the ALEGRA multiphysics code as a prototyping engineering environment.

Pattypan Squash With Pasta & Mint

If this is your first time cooking with pattypan squash, don't be intimidated by it. It's a summer squash so it's soft and relatively versatile. It's best to keep refrigerated and will keep for a few days. We absolutely adore this recipe from Katrina Runs For Food, and it's the perfect showcase for the pattypan squash.  Plus, the sweetness of the white candy onions in this recipe works very well with the chicken sausage!

1 pound bow tie pasta
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

Road Trip 2011 – Day 13-15 – Wedding in Colona, IL

So we essentially made a gigantic loop in one week, that began and ended in the Quad Cities.  We returned to the quad cities for Heather & Bryan’s wedding which posted to the blog a couple of weeks ago.

We didn’t take too many photos while in the area (aside from the wedding of course!) because our free days were filled with charging batteries and prepping the camera gear for the big day.  Here’s my bestie Jennifer looking dashing as a bridesmaid, and me looking exhausted after a long day of shooting:)

After the wedding Jennifer and Bill invited us to stay with them in their cabin on the grounds of the venue… so here’s a shot I grabbed in the morning before we left to head back to Chicago…

Bicycle links

I have posted before about our uncanny connections with all things bicycle related and the way our lives seem to revolve around them (forgive the pun!). While we were away Mike wanted to drive over to a neighbouring town to look at some metal work and other things that a woman was giving away. I can't remember the name of the place we drove to but it was about 40 km away in the Lot et Garonne and by a lovely canal. The woman and her husband had moved to this house three months before from Tenerife, where they had been living for 18years, and bought a run down and badly renovated house. They had just stripped out the insides of 5-6 apartments and were looking for a new use for some of the contents. This suited Mike quite well as he is renovating his house into one bedroom flats.

The woman told me that her husband was a keen cyclist and when I spoke to him about it he said that in his youth he had turned down a place in the 1964 Olympics as in those days there was no money in it and no possibilities of a future career in sports and he had his own career to consider in dentistry. How times have changed!

Dressing up pyjamas for summer days

Just when we thought summer might not happen at all this year (at least here in England), this week came along and was absolutely glorious. So glorious that our London apartment is insufferable if we don’t keep every door and window open whilst we’re in the house. And when any contact with your skin feels like it might tip you over the edge of boiling to death, you want as little material on you as possible. This gorgeous Oysho (pajama) top, with its delicate details and questionable coverage, definitely understands my problem.
Combine that with the ultimate un-sexy mom jean and a dressing gown posing as a cardigan to dress the lace down a tad (at least when things cool down in the evenings) and you have yourself a casual winner. Also perfect for when you don’t quite trust the weather to stay as glorious as it may seem.
These photos were taken on a beautiful day at the Grand Mosque in Paris a few weeks ago, when the sunshine was a little bit more rare. The mosque is stunning, with its intricate tiling, beautiful stone carving and wonderful symmetries. If you’re ever in Paris, I’d definitely recommend you stop by and have a glass of their soothing sweet mint tea.

G. Atherley & Sons modernises with Cybake

James and Jo Atherley

James and Jo Atherley of G. Atherley & Sons, Farnsfield, Nottinghamshire, installed CyBake to streamline order processing.

Nottinghamshire wholesale bakery G. Atherley & Sons has installed RedBlack Software’s CyBake bakery management solution.

G. Atherley & Sons was established in 1936 in Farnsfield, a village between Mansfield and Newark-on-Trent. The firm employs 28 staff and delivers to around 70 wholesale customers on a daily basis from its bakery shop in the village. Wholesale customers include schools, local shops, pubs and restaurants.

The business tailors orders to its customers’ requirements and makes around 100 different products each night. Its range includes speciality spelt, GI multiseed, tomato, olive and pumpkin bread as well as a variety of sizes and shapes of loaves and bread rolls.

Jo Atherley, the company’s business manager, says: “We have recently taken over from my husband’s parents who wrote absolutely everything by hand. Looking through 70 wholesale customers every day to see what they wanted and adding it up manually was taking up a lot of time, so we wanted to streamline things.”

With this in mind, the Atherleys set out to find a computerised system to modernise order processing at their bakery.

Jo Atherley says: “We looked at various companies but then, when we had a look at what Cybake could offer, I realised that, actually, they had thought of everything. Everything that I needed, even just some tiny things that may seem small, were in-built within the software, which takes a lot of hassle and headaches away.”

As an example, she highlights the convenience of Cybake’s ability to manage credit notes and standing orders.

Explaining how the company uses its Cybake software on a day-to-day basis, Jo Atherley says:

“We have put all of our wholesale customer orders onto Cybake and, once all those orders are in, it prints us off a production list so the bakers know what to bake. It prints us off a packing list, so our packers know exactly what to send out to where, and it also generates either a delivery note or an invoice to the customer so they have got a copy as well.”

Installation was smooth and Jo Atherley says that she appreciates the work of the Cybake support team.

She says: “If I’ve got a question, big or small, they’re there to help and that is invaluable.”

Day 6

Sydney, Sunny

As I did not sleep much the night before, I was sleeping throughout the whole journey. It's quite a pleasant flight with Jetstar, except for the small bump.
I was forced to squeeze out my shampoo & shower gel as I was only allowed to bring <100ML liquid/ gel with me in my hand luggage. Wasteful but I was left with no choice. Who would have expected that the flight is actually a transit flight from Bangkok-Melbourne-Sydney and thus I have to fly from international terminal, causing me all the hassle.

After meeting up with MF, we went to Banksia where she used to stay. $9.50 bus + train ticket. She is staying in Flemington now with a landlady and her son, Leo. I had tomato beef fried rice for lunch.

We then travelled to the city and MF brought me to Chinatown.

We managed to meet up with Aylwin and a gal friend of his, Katherine for dinner. We had sushi, all plates cost $2.80. Lobster salad is good but the green tea tastes really funny. Have to order apple juice to get rid of the smell. Aylwin spent us and it was great catching up with old friends.

Bulls Open 2018 With A Party Like It's 1999

Tom Bowley |

Market Recap for Tuesday, January 2, 2018

The NASDAQ loves January and January loves the NASDAQ.  If there's one month where the NASDAQ really shines on a relative basis, it's January (see Historical Tendencies below) and that index opened the new year like it owns January.  It was a very solid day across most areas, but the NASDAQ's 1.50% push higher easily outperformed its index peers and it also enabled the index to do something it's never done before - close above 7000.  It wasn't too long ago when we wondered if the NASDAQ would ever reach those year 2000 highs above 5200.  That is so far in the rear view mirror now as the next question is how long will it take the index to reach 10,000?

Leadership came from many sectors and industry groups.  For the NASDAQ, though, the bounce back in semiconductors ($DJUSSC) was perhaps the best news from 2018's first trading day.  The group had floundered for the last 5-6 weeks of 2017, but there was no floundering on Tuesday.  The DJUSSC raced out of the starting gate and then finished on its high with expanding volume.  Clear price support and price resistance levels have now been established.  Since the DJUSSC was a major leader in 2017, a fresh breakout would be extremely bullish for this industry and for the NASDAQ.  Here's the latest DJUSSC chart:

While the semiconductors rose a very nice 2.59% on the opening session of the year and the NASDAQ led the day's advance, technology (XLK, +1.24%) wasn't the big winner.  Energy (XLE, +1.65%) began 2018 in the same fashion it ended 2017 - leading all of the other sectors and displaying excellent relative strength vs. the benchmark S&P 500.  It enabled the XLE:$SPX to close at its highest relative level since late-May:

Energy is a sector that you want exposure to.  As traders, we should be looking to outperform the benchmark S&P 500.  One way to do that is to concentrate on sectors that are showing considerable relative strength and breaking to new relative highs - or at least showing relative strength.

The laggards to open 2018?  There was no debate.  Utilities (XLU, -0.93%) struggled mightily as a resumption to the upside in treasury yields squashed any attempt by the XLU to build on its strength from late last week.  Consumer staples (XLP, - 0.62%) was the other sector that fell on Tuesday.

Pre-Market Action

Treasury prices and gold ($GOLD) are relatively flat this morning, while crude oil ($WTIC) is up 0.71% to near the $61 per barrel level.  The further rise in crude should continue to provide tailwinds for energy shares on the second trading day of 2018.

Asian markets were mixed overnight, but European shares are trying to join the global stock party this morning.  The German DAX ($DAX), which has been threatening to lose support in the 12800-12900 area, is higher by 67 points, or 0.52%, this morning.

Dow Jones futures are looking to extend yesterday's gains, up 54 points.

Current Outlook

While it's always frustrating in an uptrend to allow consolidation and profit taking to play out, the last three months on the NASDAQ have provided a case study in patience and discipline.  Check out the chart:

The NASDAQ's channel is quite clear if you have the time to take a breath, step back and look at a longer-term period than just a week or two.  The above three month chart shows a near perfect channel and the hourly MACD is just now beginning to turn higher.  That's a sign of accelerating bullish price momentum.  During such periods of acceleration, the 20 hour EMA typically provides excellent support.  Therefore, short-term traders should view the next 20 hour EMA test as an opportunity to put more capital to work.

Sector/Industry Watch

Automobiles ($DJUSAU) are part of the red-hot consumer discretionary space (XLY, +1.52%) and continue to act in very bullish fashion.  The following is a daily chart that shows the group currently consolidating in sideways fashion with price support and price resistance clearly depicted:

While it may appear that the DJUSAU is simply churning back and forth, stepping back to look at the long-term weekly picture here shows a group that's clearly rising with successful 20 week EMA tests already in the books:

The green arrows mark bounces off of or very near the rising 20 week EMA.  And the MACD has now been above the centerline for more than a year, also an indication of a rising group.

Historical Tendencies

The NASDAQ's relative strength (vs. S&P 500) is most apparent in January.  Over the past 20 years, the NASDAQ has averaged beating the S&P 500 by 1.3%.  On an annualized basis, that's more than 15%.  The NASDAQ has outperformed the S&P 500 14 of the last 20 years, or at a 70% clip.  That's higher than any other calendar month.

The NASDAQ has produced annualized returns of +31.72% during the month of January since 1971, by far its best month of the year.  December's annualized return of +23.44% ranks second.

Key Earnings Reports

I was just wondering about the freebsd channel on youtube. I guess you can use gnash etc to view youtube. But since there is no official support for flash in freebsd and from what I understand, there are people in the freebsd world that are not too enthusiastic about flash, how come they chose youtube. Is youtube not a reason why flash is so big.

Since the people in charge of freebsd know what they are doing, I assume that there is a perfectly good reason, besides convenience too. But I admit I feel a bit confused, can someone explain this to me.

Tboss speaks up concerning jokes on her sexual assault

Tboss, former housemate of Big Brother Naija 2017, has broken her silence concerning the controversy created by the jokes made about Kemen’s alleged sexual assault on her while in the reality show.

Recall that there have been controversies after popular comedian, AY and fellow comedienne, Helen Paul made comic comments of the sexual abuse on Tboss that led to kemen’s disqualification.

However, AY on wednesday apologised to Tboss for making jokes out of her sexual assault.

Tboss has, however, said that she will continue to speak up about the importance of consent and would henceforth not trivialize situations that normalize the unfortunate incidence.

She further appreciated her supporters who raised their voices in her defence.

This was stated in a video shared via her instagram handle @officialtboss_ on Thursday.

Her words in the video: “I am not unaware of all the people that raised their voices in my defence.

“I am extremely grateful to you all, I have realized that for the possible future I’ll always be in the eyes of the storm.

“I’m not oblivious to it all, words are powerful but actions speak louder.

“Over the next few weeks, I will align myself with other sources that promote approval.

“The way forward; I will no longer allow myself be kept in situations that normalize the unfortunate incident that happened to me on March 5 in the big brother house.

“Conversations will be held on importance of consent.”

Rick-rack edging technique

Noticed this on the sleeve of the baby's dress - serge the rick-rack at the edge of the sleeve, then turn, press, and topstitch - hem, trim, and finish all at once!

New dress

The baby slept well this afternoon, so I cut out a new dress for her - the Baby Square Yoke so popular among Martha Pullen fans. The first one I made was nice, but huge on my tiny baby... so of course I cut this one a size larger (hey, don't want it outgrown too soon!), but I did change a few of the options to make it look a bit smaller.

There Are No Strings On Me: From Sketch to Vector

Calligraphy swashes of the phrase "there are no strings on me," written with frayed rope.

Last year, when Avengers: Age of Ultron came out on Bluray, my brother came over to watch the film at my house. While watching, I suddenly had an idea for a lettering project: I wanted to draw the phrase Ultron seems obsessed with throughout the movie (which is, of course, from Pinocchio): “There are no strings on me.” My thought was to use lots of swashes and embellishments, then finally ink it with my flex nib dip pen.

I ended up vectoring the piece, but was unsatisfied with the first finalization. I sat on it for several months, then decided to rework it after reading Jessica Hische‘s fantastic book, In Progress. The final result is something I can say I’m quite proud of.

There Are No Strings on Me: Work in Progress

This delightfully creepy sentence is Ultron’s motto in the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s “The Avengers: Age of Ultron.” So, naturally, I decided to sketch and calligraph it. This is the first inking. I’d never really used a flex nib calligraphy pen before, so my shading and everything is just abysmally off. For a first time, though, I was pretty pleased. I…

Undoubtedly one of the most entertaining conversations I’ve had all summer was with Chef Arie Pavlou, and his lovely wife Liz, of Bistro Été in Water Mill. Warm and open, I could sense their passion for what they do immediately. Liz met Arie when she went back to school for hotel management and he was teaching one of her classes. (Cue the hot for teacher jokes here.) Born in Cyprus, Arie is as determined as he is laid back. He grew up in a house where you never knew who you would be sharing the dinner table with.  His father made a habit of bringing home lost tourists and cooking for them. He learned from an early age how to make everyone feel at home.

Arie grew up in a tiny mountain town called Vavla with a sicilian mother and Cypriot father.  He learned as a child to hunt, fish, and gather from the land.  Combine that experience with his classical training at Le Cordon Bleu in Paris, and you truly have the best of both worlds.  Arie first apprenticed with a Two Michelin Star chef in the south of France, Philippe Da Silva, and attributes that to being key to his mastery of french techniques.   He later moved to New York and worked in world renowned restaurants such as Le Cirque 2000.

Last year, Arie and Liz opened Bistro Été just for the summer.  But when they saw how well received it was, and how they connected with their customers, they started the search for a full time spot.  Arie says, “Lots of restaurants are commercial, it’s very personal for us.”  Liz followed up telling me most of their customers stand up and give them hugs before they leave.  Lucky for us, they found a spot, and now the ‘summer bistro’ will be open all four seasons.

Know for ‘truffle-izing’ everything, Arie tells me one of his first jobs was cleaning truffles.  “They came in cases as big as me,” and he would clean them with a nail brush.  Every 50 or so, he would pop one in his mouth, referring to them as Bon Bons (until he got caught by the chef).  That’s my kind of candy.  He gets his truffles now from the “Truffle Lady,” they come from Italy and he hand picks every one.  Known for their famous truffle martini, which is garnished with a generous amount of truffles, he says it eats like a meal.  He’s come up with a Caesar martini for this season, they describe as a Willy Wonka style drink.  It’s not on the menu yet, but you can ask for it.  It’s like a turned up dirty martini.  Here’s a sneak peek, along with the handwritten recipe:

Arie and Liz are the perfect combination of professional and fun.  It’s as if they’re welcoming you into their home.  I promise you’ll want to hug them on the way out, even if it’s just to thank them for the truffles.

Elvish, motherf*cker, do you speak it?

Face it, it takes a lot of time and energy to weave a story together with plot, characters, drama, and twists the audience doesn't see coming.  This is definitely more difficult when the audience is your high school friends who easily get bored and distracted and are hopped up on Mountain Dew. This was the challenge on most weekends when we got together for a night of role-playing games.

My very first RPG was the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game. We cheated all of the time. Most of the time we just got together and shot each other with full automatic weapons.  Pretty stupid.  I just remember tons of D6's. We finally got our shit together and started to create some interesting campaigns when I bought the Palladium RPG.  The only reason I bought this game was because they had an expansion book on ship-to-ship combat.  That's right - I liked pirates before it was cool.

I definitely had a lot of free time in high school, so I was able to develop some detailed campaigns.  Classes were a breeze for me so weekends and most weeknights were wide open.  That sounds nerdy.  I guess that's the cold, hard truth.

I looked in the mirror and this is all I saw

Some of the other RPGs we tried were Shadowrun, Cyberpunk, Earthdawn, and the old standby, D&D.   After awhile we did decide to shift our focus to something less nerdy - Magic: The Gathering.  If you've ever played Magic before, you know that it's pretty fun, but there are no characters.  No rolling for initiative.  And most importantly, no story.  No plot.

Once we got to college there was just no time to develop plots, characters, storyline twists and maps and mazes and so much more supporting characters and data.  I'm experiencing that now again as I try to dive into script writing.  It's very time consuming.  I will make a big push again in April for script frenzy.  I think my experience developing RPG campaigns will help me, but I'm confident none of my characters will speak Elvish.

Experimenting with the Square Format: Using the Spartus Full-Vue With Tungsten Film

masked spartus

 The Spartus Full-Vue Twin Lens Camera, 1948-1960.

The Twin Lens Reflex Camera:

Many notable photographers used twin lens cameras: Irving Penn, Richard Avedon, Lisette Model, and Diane Arbus. The first twin lens reflex camera appeared in 1880 as a specially built camera for the Kew Observatory in England. The first production twin lens camera appeared in the 1882, introduced as the Academy by the British firm, Marion and Company.  The camera, a non-reflex design featured an upper viewing lens held at eye level, and produced the distinctive square image that would come to be associated with twin lens cameras.  Over the next two decades, nearly every major camera manufacturer offered twin lens reflex cameras standardized on the square format. [1]

Twin lens reflex cameras feature a mirror mounted behind the viewing lens at a 45-degree angle, reflecting light onto the viewing screen. The upper lens is dedicated to viewing and is mechanically synchronized for focus with the lower lens, which is devoted to film exposure. Usually held at waist level to compose and focus, the twin lens reflex camera offers the advantage of a viewing area identical to the exposure area. Twin lens cameras also offer the advantages of being able to view the exposure as it is being made. In addition, the mirror does not have to move to made the exposure. Traditionally the square format negative was cropped to 8×10 inches, the standard paper size. The large negative of the typical twin lens camera, over 4 times the size of the 35mm camera format, presents advantages for enlargement of selected portions of the image without significant loss of detail. The disadvantages of the twin lens design are the slight disparity between the coverage area of the upper and lower lens, referred as parallax error, and a right to left reversal produced by the mirrored image.

The Square Format:

In painting and photography, the shape of the picture refers to picture’s format.  Because rectangles are so prevalent in our daily lives, we seldom notice the shape of the window, table or the pages of a book. Most paintings and photographs are rectangles. The horizontal or vertical format of the rectangle may evoke the breadth of a landscape or the heights of towering mountains. The compositional flexibility of the rectangle helps to make the format ubiquitous. Invisible to the shape of picture, we notice content of the picture rather and shape of the picture.[2]

Since very few subjects are naturally square, photographers using the square format cameras often crop their images into rectangles. However, photographers who make the syntactical decision to use  the square format do so in support of subject and content decisions, and alerts us that each photograph is a means of representing the world.  Using a square format camera without cropping the image can enliven subject matter by making the photographer and viewer conscious of the shape of the picture and act of taking a photograph. The square format counters the invisibility of the rectangle, and demands that we consider the shape of the picture as well as what is depicted within the shape. The square format presents a fresh challenge to the traditional golden rectangle variants found in most camera viewfinders.

The Spartus Full-Vue Twin Lens Reflex- the Spartus Camera Corporation in Chicago, Illinois, produced the Full-Vue Reflex from 1948-1960. The camera is a simple to use twin-lens reflex box camera featuring an image in the ground glass viewfinder equal to the negative size. With a large viewing lens the Full-Vue boasts an especially bright viewfinder image.In 1949, the Full-Vue  also featured a synchronized flash attachment. The Spartus Full-Vue’s bakelite body [3] is fitted with a fixed focus 92mm Scienar plastic lens and takes twelve 6-centimeter exposures on 120mm film. The Spartus Full-Vue employs a rotary shutter and as the Full-Vue manual instructs “the exposure is then made by gently pressing the exposure lever down as far as it will go.”[4] The shutter has only two settings: “inst.” (about 1/60th of a second) and “time” (a bulb setting for long exposures).

Using the Spartus Full-Vue With Tungsten Film in Daylight:

I loaded Fujichrome T64 Professional 120mm Tungsten film into the Spartus Full View, and used the camera to photograph fall color at three California locations in late October, 2013: in the Alder Grove at Yosemite National Park, along the Tenaya Canyon Creek just outside of Lee Vinning on in the Eastern Sierra and at North Bloomfield in the Nevada County. Tungsten films are calibrated for exposure under indoor studio lighting conditions with a Kevin temperature of 3200k producing a much lower color temperature than daylight, which has a Kelvin temperate of 5500k. When shooting tungsten film in daylight conditions, a 85 filter compensates for color temperature disparity and when shooting daylight films in tungsten light conditions, an 80a filter is recommend.[5] Using tungsten film in daylight conditions without color correction filters yields unpredictable results and even with identical exposures on the same roll of film.

At each location, I photographed in basic daylight conditions, and exposed the Fujichrome T64 Tungsten film without color correction and without any using a color correction filter. The Full-Vue’s plastic lens produced spectacularly unpredictable results. The appearance of the monochrome reds was surprising, and the deep blues and magentas produced startling mixes of color. The square format of the Spartus Full-Vue supports the muting of image details in the abstraction of unexpected color.

Altar call

Listening to an audience member's question at the Legion of Mary youth conference in Dublin, Ireland, June 9. Photo by Fiona Hodge.

The nicest comment I heard about my talk at the Chesterton conference — indeed, the highest compliment I've ever received after a speech — came via the blogger who calls himself Unknown Poet. Although he missed my talk, he was standing outside the auditorium afterwards, when the crowd was exiting. One of those leaving, he said, was a Catholic priest who exclaimed, "I could marry her!"

DBi Services acquires Mercier's Inc.

DBi Services acquires Mercier's Inc.

HAZLETON, PA – Effective November 29, 2016, DBi Services has acquired the assets of Mercier's Inc., located in South Point, Ohio. Mercier's Central Branch currently employs over 50 people, under ownership of Craig Mercier.

Founded in 1978, the company was operating through two branches, primarily servicing the Railroad and DOT maintenance markets. In January 2016, DBi Services acquired and successfully integrated the Mercier's Inc. Harmans, Maryland Branch, which positioned DBi to become one of the largest highway maintenance contractors in Maryland.

Mercier's services include on-track railroad vegetation management, right-of-way herbicide applications and mowing, stormwater management, bio-retention trenches, incident and emergency management, and roadway/roadside traffic control.

The acquisition of the Ohio location is an excellent strategic fit for DBi's ambitious growth objectives, and a perfect complement to its existing services. It will provide additional opportunities in the Midwest for DBi's core businesses, further expanding DBi's vegetation management and diversified services.

DBi will now operate Mercier’s Inc. under the name DBi Services, maintaining operations in the current South Point location, with plans for future consolidation with their Huntington, West Virginia location. Craig's initial focus will be on an effective integration to ensure operations are transitioned efficiently into DBi Services. He will then transition into a business development role with DBi focusing on the Midwest.

"I take great pleasure in announcing the acquisition of Mercier’s by DBi Services. I believe this is the beginning of a new chapter that will greatly grow the business and careers of our employees to whom I have come to see as both friends and family,"said Mercier.

Mark Robinson, DBi Services President and COO noted, "We have a lot of respect for Craig, and for the team and business he has built. We welcome Craig and all of the Mercier's employees to the DBi family, and we look forward to successful growth together."

Warner Bros. Puts A Pause On Batman: Arkham Knight For PC

 Warner Bros. Interactive has decided to suspend sales on the pc version of Batman: Arkham Knight from store shelves as well as the digital version previously available on Steam.  Since the game’s launch on June 23, PC users have been reporting various issues with the game,which include crashes and extremely unstable frame rates, even when the PC game has a cap of 30fps.

Rocksteady studios head Sefton Hill has confirmed the suspicions of players. The PC version of Batman: Arkham Knight was ported from the console version. The port was done by Iron Galaxy Studios. Iron Galaxy has much more experience with console games than it does working with PC titles. The last PC game Iron Galaxy studios worked on was the port of Batman: Arkham Origins, which many players still remember had a lot of issues.
Earlier, Warner Bros. Interactive made a public statement on the matter, which you can read below:

“We want to apologize to those of you who are experiencing performance issues with Batman: Arkham Knight on PC. We take these issues very seriously and have therefore decided to suspend future game sales of the PC version while we work to address these issues to satisfy our quality standards.  We greatly value our customers and know that while there are a significant amount of players who are enjoying the game on PC, we want to do whatever we can to make the experience better for PC players overall.

Thank you to those players who have already given valuable feedback. We are continuously monitoring all threads posted in the Official Batman: Arkham Knight Community and Steam forums, as well as any issues logged with our Customer Support (support.wbgames.com) If you purchased your copy of the game and are not satisfied with your experience, then we ask for your patience while these issues are resolved. If desired, you can request a refund at help.steampowered.com (Steam refund policies can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds) or the retail location where you purchased the game.

The Batman: Arkham fans have continually supported the franchise to its current height of success, and we want to thank you for your patience as we work to deliver an updated version of Batman: Arkham Knight on PC so you can all enjoy the final chapter of the Batman: Arkham series as it was meant to be played.”
Meanwhile, the console version of Batman: Arkham Knight continues to gain praise from PS4 and Xbox One players for its incredible gameplay and detailed open world.

SQL Anywhere 12.0.1 » SQL Anywhere Server - SQL Usage » SQL dialects and compatibility

Error handling in Transact-SQL procedures

Default procedure error handling is different in the Watcom SQL and Transact-SQL dialects. By default, Watcom SQL dialect procedures exit when they encounter an error, returning SQLSTATE and SQLCODE values to the calling environment.

Explicit error handling can be built into Watcom SQL stored procedures using the EXCEPTION statement, or you can instruct the procedure to continue execution at the next statement when it encounters an error, using the ON EXCEPTION RESUME statement.

When a Transact-SQL dialect procedure encounters an error, execution continues at the following statement. The global variable @@error holds the error status of the most recently executed statement. You can check this variable following a statement to force return from a procedure. For example, the following statement causes an exit if an error occurs.

IF @@error != 0 RETURN

When the procedure completes execution, a return value indicates the success or failure of the procedure. This return status is an integer, and can be accessed as follows:

EXECUTE @Status = proc_sample
IF @Status = 0
   PRINT 'procedure succeeded'
   PRINT 'procedure failed'

The following table describes the built-in procedure return values and their meanings:

Value Definition SQL Anywhere SQLSTATE
0 Procedure executed without error
-1 Missing object 42W33, 52W02, 52003, 52W07, 42W05
-2 Data type error 53018
-3 Process was chosen as deadlock victim 40001, 40W06
-4 Permission error 42501
-5 Syntax error 42W04
-6 Miscellaneous user error
-7 Resource error, such as out of space 08W26
-10 Fatal internal inconsistency 40W01
-11 Fatal internal inconsistency 40000
-13 Database is corrupt WI004
-14 Hardware error 08W17, 40W03, 40W04
