Swarovski asks Rosie Assoulin and Peter Pilotto to design a collection

By Mathilde Thommeret

Atelier Swarovski teamed up with four world-class designers to create an exclusive Autumn Winter 16 collections.

For their 2016 Autumn Winter collection, Austrian crystal specialist Swarovski called on 4 international and eclectic talents to work on several capsule collections. And we are clearly loving Peter Pilotto’s and Rosie Assoulin’s reinterpretation of the iconic crystals.

Peter Pilotto, the Italo-Austrian print master, and Christopher de Vos, Pilotto’s creative partner, both members of the Swarovski Collective, worked on their debut jewelry collection. As expected, the result is bold, graphic and vibrant. Named  ‘Arbol’, the 13-piece collection showcases the duo’s signature aesthetic in colourful and kaleidoscopic designs, inspired by patterns in nature and the mechanical structures within modern art.

The trendy 31-year-old New-York based designer Rosie Assoulin proposed a highly different interpretation of the sparkly gems. Loved by Leandra Medine (a.k.a the style icon behind Man Repeller), Rosie Assoulin’s eponymous ready to wear brand is known for its flamboyant cuts yet retro aesthetic. Back to her design roots, she designed a jewellery collection named  ‘Jewel-y McHue-y’ for Atelier Swarovski. The 12-piece collection features a blend of ton-sur-ton and contrasting colourways. For her first collection with the Austrian crystal brand, the American designer revamps traditional Georgian settings with modern materials, using expressive Swarovski crystal to create an understated, elegant look.

The leading crystal specialist also asked French provocative designer Jean-Paul Gaultier as well as Chinese designer Ye Mingzi to work on this season’s jewellery collection.The Atelier Swarovski Autumn/Winter 2016 Collections will be available in selected Swarovski stores and independent retailers worldwide from September 2016.

Assassins take the Win at Wasp Snow 7’s 2016

February 27th was a busy day for the Assassins RFC. A large contingent of the club started their morning bright and early at the club’s own Six Nations Fundraiser at the Pint. After eating breakfast and watching 2 matches about a dozen members of the Mens team along with some female members of the club made their way down to the Wasps Snow 7’s tournament at River Heights CC.

The Assassins had to play three 7’s games in succession due to the late arrival. The team’s first game was against the tournament host Wasps. This was a back and forth game which saw the Assassins prevail under the veteran leadership of Shane Nobiss, Cam Clark, Adam Setka and Brendan Kowal.

The second match was played against the Saracens. Most of the Saracens playing were kind enough to support the Assassins event earlier in the day, however once both teams stepped on to the snow covered pitch; the rivalry was renewed. It was in this match where the young Assassins showed their worth. Justin Mackay(Wild), Cody Nykolitian, Colin Kowal and Connie Sutherland defended hard, were running smart support lines and earned some trys for their strong support work. The team wearing blue and white won this match handily.

The third match was played against the University Manitoba Student’s Team or the Herd as they are also known as. This was another back and forth match, but due to hard defense and many Assassins making an absolute nuisance of themselves at the breakdown the boys were able to come away with their third successive win. It was a great day for some of the Assassins to get their footy fix on a beautiful day in February. Special mention to Colin Whitley for returning from a two year absence from rugby due to an ACL tear. Whitley was back at it with his barnstorming runs and hard tackling. The three wins would not have been possible without his efforts. He will be a welcomed addition back to the team for the season in 2016.

The Assassins were named the champions of the tournament for the second year in a row and if you were a part of the fun last year; you know what happened to the trophy. Unfortunately the Assassins never got to play Lakehead University who drove in from Thunder Bay for the tournament, but the club appreciates them coming in for the tournament to provide unfamiliar opposition. Thanks to the Winnipeg Wasps for hosting another great tournament, we will see you at Maple Grove when the season starts!

Mirza Dinnayi was named the 2019 Aurora Laureate on October 19, 2019, at the ceremony in Yerevan that was held during the Aurora Forum. Driven by his passion to save lives, this Yazidi activist has found a way to overcome numerous bureaucratic and logistic obstacles to help the most vulnerable members of the Yazidi community during numerous conflicts in Syria and Iraq. In the course of his visit to Armenia, Mr. Dinnayi will visit the Erebuni Medical Centre and Heratsi Hospital Complex to pay respect to those wounded during the war against Nagorno-Кarabakh.

On December 8, after meeting with the representatives of the local Yazidi community, Mirza Dinnayi will attend a special ceremony dedicated to the cancellation of a new international postage stamp created by the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative in cooperation with HayPost. The annual tradition of issuing a fundraising stamp featuring the Aurora Prize Laureates was established in 2017 with the release of the first stamp depicting 2016 Aurora Prize Laureate Marguerite Barankitse. On December 9, Mirza Dinnayi will go to Artsakh to meet with local officials and people affected by the war. This visit is a part of Aurora's international program of inviting world humanitarian leaders to Artsakh.

“This year has proven to be exceptionally hard for all of us, and it’s now more important than ever that Aurora remains a shining beacon of hope for everyone in need,” said Mirza Dinnayi. “I’m delighted with this long-anticipated opportunity to return to Armenia and personally express my solidarity and support to the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative and everything it stands for. It’s heartbreaking to see what Armenians, this courageous and ancient people, had to go through and are still going through. Our nations have so much in common, and it brings me exceptional joy to be here.”

Drawing on his vast experience of dealing with the aftermath of armed conflicts, Mirza Dinnayi will have a chance to take a closer look at some of the 20 projects in Artsakh supported by Aurora and talk to their direct beneficiaries. Following the ceasefire established on November 10 between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the Aurora Humanitarian Initiative has stepped up to bring the people of Artsakh immediate humanitarian relief. In addition to launching the #AraratChallengeforArtsakh fundraising campaign, the Initiative has also called on its international community to share knowledge and provide support to ensure effective solutions on the ground in Armenia.

A Word of Thanks

Jul 31, 2017 - 3:36 pm

On Friday, May 19, 2017, my kids and I were on our way to watch my eldest son graduate from the University of Texas @ Austin. While turning onto exit 235, our vehicle suddenly stalled. We were in the process of calling a tow truck when Sergeant Mike Cowden pulled up behind us. He offered his assistance once we told him what the situation was and took immediate action. He called another officer who would push our vehicle out of the way to allow the tow truck to retrieve the vehicle and tow it back to our apartment complex. As the Mother, I was going to stay with the vehicle but Sergeant Cowden had a better idea. He elected to stay with our vehicle so I wouldn't miss my son graduating from college. He even arranged for Officer Ashley Uribe to take us to the campus so we could be there on time.
What I want to say is that these two individuals went above and beyond their call of duty to help when I know there were many other important things they could have helped with. But they both took the time and patience to help out a family and I am forever grateful. I live on the other side of the world and flew here to witness my son's next step in his life and almost missed it. I don't think there is an amount of "THANK YOU" I can send to show how much I appreciate the kindness that was shown.

Very respectfully,

Light It Up: Vilnius Reimagines Christmas with Never-Before-Seen Christmas Tree and Digital Fairs

Vilnius, the capital of Lithuania, welcomes the holiday season by lighting up one-of-a-kind Christmas tree which differs greatly from its predecessors. This year the city has also come up with alternative and digital ways to continue with Christmas celebrations while ensuring public safety.

As the most awaited holidays draw nearer, the official opening of the season of celebrations is usually marked by lighting public Christmas trees. In 2019 Vilnius Christmas tree was awarded the title of the Most Beautiful Christmas Tree in Europe. And this time around the Christmas tree is bound to be a reflection of the exceptional year.

Instead of inviting the masses to a magical Christmas town like in the past, this year it has been designed to be safely admired at a distance. While the outside is modern, the inside of the installation reveals a traditional tree assuring everyone that, notwithstanding the changes brought by the pandemic, the Christmas spirit, like always, stays the same.

Visually, the Christmas tree looks like a surrealist picture - a modern 24-meter tall composition is surrounded by 6,000 live and fragrant branches decorated with almost 4 km of colour-changing RGB Christmas lights, 800 silver ornaments, and 150 sq. m of shining mirrors. The state-of-the-art installation is actually twofold: the spatial placement of metal structures creates several mirror-adorned areas while the inside is made to look cosy, home-like, and intimate with a live Christmas tree decorated with pine cones and lanterns. To make it eco-friendly, the lights are powered with electricity generated by processing old coffee grounds.

“Although we have already faced many challenges throughout this eventful year, our community has become stronger, closer, and ready for an exceptional Christmas. Vilnius Christmas tree is exactly that - surreal, unexpected yet amazing nevertheless,” says Remigijus Šimašius, Mayor of Vilnius.

This year Vilnius is also determined to keep the Christmas spirit alive by introducing alternative and responsible ways to decorate and celebrate in the city: for example, beautifully decorated areas of the city invite one to take a relaxed stroll whilst maintaining social distancing, and virtual Christmas fairs are bound to replace mass gatherings and bring the holiday spirit closer to home.

To exercise a safe and responsible environment, at the same time preserving the Christmas cheer, Vilnius has made a difficult decision to temporarily cancel some of the festive events – a traditional mass Christmas tree lighting ceremony, 3D fairy tales, Christmas train - and move others to digital platforms (live-broadcasted lighting event, e-Christmas Fair). The city has also given a lot of thought on light decorations: holiday lights will adorn the streets from the Old Town, the center, and the parks, to the neighbouring houses and shop windows, and even more remote areas of the city.

Moreover, having regrouped in the endeavours to combat the coronavirus by recalling all mass gatherings, Vilnius brings in innovative solutions by exploiting the benefits of virtual reality and moving traditional Christmas fairs online – to an e-Christmas Fair. Shoppers will have the chance to purchase original gifts and products that would have been sold in a real Christmas Town around the Christmas tree. This makes the arrangement ideal for participating in Vilnius Christmas fairs without even setting one’s foot out of the house.

So, this year Vilnius puts all efforts into having a safe Christmas in the hopes of making sure that next year all visitors will be able to return to the city for Christmas events in full force.

2018 Nicaraguan Trip Update

In February of 2018, Brett’s sister Kate travelled to Nicaragua to tour the growing group of schools that our foundation has worked to build in Brett’s name. By this point, we have built so many schools that seeing all of them in just four days is not quite possible. For this trip we chose to see the first, third, sixth and soon to be seventh schools. The following report details her experience.

2019-01-11 10_03_06-Travelogue Page 1 - Microsoft Word

kate 1

My visit began with the school that not only started the BBC Foundation’s journey building schools but also was the fondation to the SchoolBOX story. Brett’s first school, in the Primavera barrio of Managua will always hold a special place in our hearts. As has happened each time we arrive, the school was prepared with a special welcome. Music played on speakers, girls and boys in costume performed traditional dances, and a student named Genesis delivered a heartfelt recitation of a poem by Ruben Dario (the country’s most famous poet and intellectual). I was handed a microphone and did my best to use my high school Spanish to thank the parents and teachers for everything they do, and to remind the students how important their education is and encourage them to stay in school. This nine-classroom school was completed in 2012, and now has 506 children and 13 teachers.

Next we visited Brett’s third school, which has 100 students and 5 teachers. The Mirna Martinez School is named for the woman who originally opened her house for children to go to school in the community of Masaya, just outside Managua. She later donated the land for the school to be built on when her home couldn’t hold the growing numbers of children who craved education. When our family last visited together in 2016, we toured the original school and got to know some of the students, teachers and parents of the community.

The former school consisted of the typical dirt floor, corrugated tin roof and walls, with makeshift blackboards or sheets of paper for students to learn from. The community was palpably excited about the potential new building, and upon our return they were emphatic in their gratitude. In addition to the dances and poems, the students presented me with crafts they had worked on and a few individuals made a point of standing up and telling us (the SchoolBOX team) how they were committed and passionate about learning. You could tell they remembered our visit from two years prior, bringing up each of our family member’s names specifically.

I made a similar speech at Mirna Martinez, thanking everyone and speaking about what this means to our family. As I toured the school, visiting each brand new classroom, it occurred to me that I would be able to connect with the students even better if I was more fluent in Spanish. I promised everyone that I would take some classes and come back able to make my whole speech in Spanish all by myself, and hopefully they would stay in school in return.

At the end of the welcome ceremony, a parent approached us and gave me a beautiful handmade xylophone. It was beyond special for me to come home with the crafts and the xylophone and share them with my three children. I was incredibly proud to explain to them that each thing was handmade by someone who is saying thank you to our family for helping build a school for their community.

Following this visit we began a journey deeper into Nicaragua than I had previously travelled. It felt very special to travel with Tom, Ronald and Jazmin, three of the core people who originally formed the heartbeat of SchoolBOX. I felt a little bit like an embedded reporter, picking up bits about the workings of all the classrooms they have built and the lives they continue to impact. We talked a little bit about how if a student makes it through primary school (to the end of the 6th grade) they are very likely to make it all the way to the end of secondary school. The trick is to get students to stay in primary school, as many often leave halfway through. They leave if their parents need them to work, or if the school is perhaps too far away. The importance of providing as many Nicaraguan communities as possible with fully functional schools that provide real shelter with washrooms and playing fields alongside the opportunities afforded by a completed primary education cannot be highlighted enough.

Next up on our itinerary was the sixth completed school called Josefa Toledo. Since this school project had been chosen and built fairly quickly in between our trips to Nicaragua, it was the first time someone from our family was able to visit the community of El Puma and see the new school. We were far north into the country, in the Chinandega region, and could see the mountainous border with Honduras as we approached. It was shared with me that the school’s location is in particular danger of earthquakes and flooding, and so in addition to the new school, a special retaining wall to protect the school had been built and was a successful project. Before the new school was built, the fifth and sixth grade classes didn’t even have a building, and had been learning under the shelter of trees, with no real resources or protection from the elements. Now, 129 students are able to get a proper education at this school.

The students were excited about meeting us, and groups of kids followed us around as we toured the three classrooms, posing for photos and peeking in the windows as we walked around. As we walked around, I also found a beautiful plaque that had been made to commemorate Brett, and it felt very special to read it there and know that she is able to continue to make such a difference in so many lives.

The children were incredibly enthusiastic about the welcome ceremony and a number of affectionate children found their way onto my lap and giggled hysterically throughout many of the dances.  Because Richard had not previously visited this school, I knew that I had to make a particularly special speech in order to make the kind of impression that he has made at each school previous to this. I made sure to explain that my sister Brett was watching over each of them from heaven and that if they keep following the path of education, they have the ability to achieve their greatest dreams.

After visiting the sixth school, there was another long drive in store for us, first south and then back north and westward towards the Pacific Ocean. The final school we would visit was in the rural community of Las Noventas. It is next in line for construction, and will be the seventh Brett school. After turning off the main road, we followed a bumpy dirt road for a while before turning onto an even bumpier course through a thickly wooded area of cashew farms. We drove for almost an hour, sharing the road with horses and cows, and finally arrived at the site of the Los Laureles school where kids, teachers and families lined the road, curiously awaiting our arrival. Many of the children looked at us with surprise, as if the dream of finally getting a real school building seemed too good to be true. This community has been waiting a long time for a proper place for their children to receive an education, and having the ministry of education present at the welcome ceremony seemed to really seal the deal for them. The current school is an open-air structure with no walls, and with a metal roof that the parents personally helped to construct when the previous plastic one needed to be replaced. Despite the challenging conditions, 67 children are receiving an education at Los Laureles currently, instructed by 4 dedicated teachers.

kate 3

The parents of this community are truly inspiring, and one mother in particular made a stunning thank you speech expressing her gratitude for our foundation’s pledge to help build three classrooms with washrooms and school essentials such as whiteboards, desks and chairs. Her son should be in fifth grade but was still learning at a much lower level simply due to lack of resources. She explained that even though their community could never hope to compensate us financially, each family would pay us back by ensuring their kids finish primary school in the community and go on to complete their secondary education.

I left Nicaragua with a very full heart, feeling inspired and connected. I felt inspired by the drive in the communities to improve their children’s chances to follow their dreams through education. I felt connected to the schools through their constant gratitude and joyous welcome ceremonies. I not only took home crafts and gifts, but also love and the desire to come back as soon as possible…and equipped with a few more Spanish lessons.

Does God Seem Silent?

with 5 Comments

Waiting has been the hardest spiritual growth skill for me. Impatient and energetic by nature, I like it when things move fast. But, if there’s anything I’ve learned about God in recent years it’s this, God is never in a hurry and He is often VERY…SLOW. While this is uncomfortable here’s what I know:

Waiting sets the stage and sharpens his instruments for HIs purposes!

Waiting, Delay sharpens us as His instruments

Certainly, we see this throughout the Bible. Think about it.

  • Abraham waited until He was well over 90 for his promised son.
  • Joseph waited for many years before he realized His dreams.
  • Moses didn’t step into his calling until he was in his 80’s
  • David waited for years to become king.

From your human perspective, it may appear that time is ticking and years are slipping. But, God as, “The Alpha and the Omega,” holds a different perspective (Revelation 1:8). He’s sharpening and shaping you as His instrument. And, He’s setting the stage for the most dynamic presentation of His glory.

While you wait, here are some postures of praise from Psalm 37, to help you cultivate an attitude of expectation:

  1. Bowing in trust when I feel like pacing with worry! Vs 1 and 3 Do not fret….Trust in the Lord ad do good. Example of Hannah 1 Samuel 1 – bowing and weeping. Sometimes our worship is weeping.   Here’s a new song to help you in your bowing journey. Here I Bow by Jenn Johnson
  2. Laying down my burden when I feel like picking it up. Commit your way to the Lord. Vs. 5..The word “Commit” means to roll. One of the heaviest burdens Mothers carry is worry over their kids…..worry over weather or not their kids are walking with the Lord.

  1. Sitting still when I feel like taking ActionBe still before the Lord and wait patiently for Him. Vs. 7. This is one of the hardest challenges for us as believers. We’re wired for action! At one point in my life, everything in me wanted to take action to “fix” a situation but the Holy Spirit brought the words of Exodus 14:14 to mind, “I will fight for you while you remain silent.” So hard to be still and remain silent. But God often moves when we get out of the way!

  1. Raising my hands in worship when I feel like shaking my fist. Refrain from anger and turn from wrath…… (vs. 8) It’s easy to feel angry at God when He’s not moving as quickly as we’d like! Especially when we’ve been begging and pleading and the heavens feel silent. But instead I’d like to suggest to you that you raise your hands. Raised hands are the universal sign of surrender….and true worship includes surrender.   Remember, your deepest desires are always met in God more than in the answer you’re hoping for.

Question: what has God taught you about waiting recently?

    I have learned to trust even when nothing seems to be happening. I came across a song on YouTube by Kathy Troccoli called I Wait and the words are so appropriate, we wait, we trust, we lift it up to Him.

    My fiance and I broke up 3 weeks ago. We separated about 2 months ago and I have been in prayer continually. Waiting is not an easy task for me, I want to take action and “fix” things. Fixing things is something I do every day in my business, it’s my job. But, in this situation, God has told me to be patient, live in love, and pray. I know that God put this beautiful man and I together (and he knows that as well), but he has strayed from the path. He is living with his son in a very chaotic situation. His beautiful mother is 101 years old, and I go see her and we pray together. The last time I saw her she told me not to be sad because God has promised her He would answer her prayers. I pray many times every day for God to bless him, remove the bonds that have covered his heart and make him afraid of following God’s will for his life, and to put people in his life who can minister to him and speak truth to him. I have asked for his forgiveness in my own actions, but he’s only told me that I don’t need to apologize because we were both at fault. I have forgiven him for the lies and betrayal. I only want God’s will in my life, and in his. I love this man, and pray that God will soften his heart and show him that he deserves to be loved unconditionally.
    I know that God is working in his life, and in mine. I know that God has removed me from his life for a purpose. If it be God’s will, I pray that we can be reconciled, but whether that happens or not, my greatest desire is that he live in God’s will, comfort, peace, and love. I miss him and what we had together (we are in our 60’s, and for the first time in my life I had made a commitment to never leave, no matter what, and to work through any and all difficulties).
    God has given me lots of work in my business recently, which is keeping me occupied, and has also told me to “get my house in order”. I am concentrating on these things, and praying continually, and trusting that God will answer mine and his mother’s prayers together for his return to God’s presence. Waiting is not easy, but “In Everything, I Have Faith in God”.

Galaxy S4 To Be Launched On March 14
3월 13, 2013

Galaxy S4 will be launched and have its first public appearance in New York City tomorrow (March 14) - fans of Samsung and the Galaxy lineup, get yourselves ready!

It's been less than a year since the Galaxy S3 was launched - but the hype for S4 has  been building up for such a long time that for some, the S4 may actually feel and seem old. Photos of Galaxy S4 has already been leaked as follows. Rumours of S4 have been circulating since the launch of S3 - that is to say, almost immediately after the S3, people were already anticipating what the S4 would look and feel like.

According to rumors, it will have a bigger 4.99-inch Super AMOLED screen that was spotted at the Consumer Electronics Show earlier on this year. So, the S4 will be slightly bigger than the 4.8-inch S3.

Jelly Bean will still be the Android platform. It will have the Exynos 5 Octa eight-core processor, making the S4 a useful and at the same time powerful device.

Also, eye tracking may also be embedded - the screen would automatically scroll with the movement of eyes.

Will the history of smartphones be re-written once again? What are the implications for the Chinese smartphone handset makers?

Rational/Natural Religion and Spinoza
Tension and enmity between religion and philosophy, as observed through the history of thought, had burst with the Enlightment and contemporary philosophy. On the part of each side, the tension has been intensified and severe due to that they did not recognize each other and also counted each other as incommensurate and refused each other as injurious. The conflict between them has been enormously incited by materialists, positivists and atheists who reduced religion into natural causes or denied it on the grounds of scientific and philosophical reasons. Indeed, what is in question is a quarrel about which camp is to have authority on politics, society, economy, law, aesthetics and epistemology and give shape to in

Rug Cleaning Tips

The Majority of Oriental Rugs and Carpets are hand made in the traditional way. Although more modern ones may be made on looms. These are similar in construction to Wilton and Axminister in that they are woven. Traditional Oriental Rugs consist of pile fibres of any natural protein materials indigenous to the country of origin and may contain wool or hair from goats, sheep or other animals. Modern Rugs now use synthetic dyes, however older rugs for centuries used vegetable dyes and these can be unstable.  Due to the high risk and value of Oriental rugs we recommend that you call us on 0161 731 0021 for an appraisal.

3 observations from my week working on a COVID-19 floor

I've spent the last week working on the coronavirus unit of a Boston-area hospital, treating almost exclusively COVID-19 patients. I wanted to share with you three observations I've made, that you may not have read about or seen on the news.

1. Gastrointestinal symptoms
Away from the respiratory symptoms of dry cough, shortness of breath, and sore throat, GI symptoms are extremely common, often bad enough to cause dehydration and acute renal failure. Beware of these.

2. Oxygen
Literally every day a hospitalized patient remains on nasal cannula oxygen is good news. If you have a loved one in hospital, know this. Each day that passes with them staying only on nasal oxygen means they are not crashing, and the body is fighting the virus hard. The oxygen requirements should eventually come down. Different hospitals have different protocols, but ours is 6 liters of oxygen before requiring intensive care unit and consideration of intubation and a ventilator. There's some evidence coming out (and many ICU specialists I've spoken to about this), that we may not want to be too aggressive with ventilating COVID-19 patients. Watch this space.

3. Men affected much worse
After now spending a few weeks seeing COVID-19 patients in hospital, it is blatantly obvious to me that this sex discrepancy is independent of comorbidities and lifestyle factors, especially in younger patients. I've lost count of the number of times I've called the wife at home to update her on husband's condition—and she also has coronavirus, but is only suffering with a sore throat!

Whether this is genetics, chromosomes—or we are simply witnessing millions of years of evolutionary biology in action—which will, for obvious reasons, want to favor the survival of females when an animal species is faced with an imminent threat to its survival—we cannot say for sure.

Two other quick things to note: A LOT of patients have got better and we've successfully discharged them from hospital, which should be very reassuring to everyone! We have also started giving a 5-day course of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin combination to almost every hospitalized patient. Research on this is still pending, jury's out—but we are giving it a go.

August Update

I came back from RWA13 raring and ready to go.
My very lovely friend Jodi Vaughn and I at one of the many book signings

Alas I was laid low by the dentist. So when all looked like it was full speed ahead. Yes I tried writing while on painkillers. It honestly it looked like this:

Couldn't find the artist name to credit this back to. Though I've used this before.
During the course writing this and whining about the dentist I came upon this post from September, 2012. It serves as a reminder to keep and eye on my prize. And to take things one day at a time. Which means unfortunately I'll be Self publishing my book in early September versus late August.

My next stop will be Norcross, Georgia. This time I'll be presenting my Goal Setting Workshop at Moonlight & Magnolias. I'm supper excited and nervous. Which reminds me I have to see if I'm allowed to sign at the Book signing. Life is going by fast. Just when I thought I was used to having a 13 year old, she'll be turning 14 and the little one will be 8. Birthday cake time again.

Hope you're having a wonderful day, month, year, life!

Open Uni - Assignment Nightmares!

Argh! I have too much to do and not enough hours in the day to do them all in!

I'm having real problems with my current college assignment too. I'm stuck on one bit. Making a shopping card feature in javascript... using nodes and the DOM level 1.

Now... when it comes to adding and removing nodes from a web page, that's fine. I can do that. And I though that would be the hard part. But it isn't. The bit I can't do is making the newly formed nodes of text appear in the right place. You see, in the example scripts we were given to play with all the nodes appear at the bottom of the web page. But as part of the assigment they need to appear in the top right. The page is layed out using CSS and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO TELL THE CODE TO PUT THE NODES IN THE RIGHT PLACE!

But possibly I am just tired, as yesterday I couldn't make my rollover buttons rollover to save my life. I spent HOURS on them, and this morning it only took me 35 minutes.

However, today I have successfully done the following:

Main Page & Flash Intro Page

  • Update the provided navigation to use image rollovers (hard one that)
  • Modify the Flash intro page to provide a clickable link to the main page
  • Modify the Flash intro page to forward a visitor to the main page automatically after their first visit by setting and detecting a 'flashSeen' cookie.
  • One of the last two tasks must use an appropriate event
Sample Product Page
  • Display pan view images in a slide show controlled by the user
I still need to do the following:

Sample Product Page
  • Use W3C DOM techniques to demonstrate how a shopping cart would look to a visitor, simulating both adding and removing at least one sample item on a page (which I am stuck on now)

Form Page
  • Use suitable events to call for data validation on at least three fields (last name, phonenumber and email address), providing good advice or reports on errors and improving the ease of entering and correcting data when the form is submitted (tricky, but doable)
  • Use suitable events and DHTL to dynamically report back data entry errors for at least three form fields (street name, post code, credit card number) using colours and/or text on the page to notify the user while the form is filled out (a bit harder this one, not looking forward to it)

Wishlist Page
  • Retireve the wish list data from the cookie and then dynamically generate a clear and correctly formatted wish list on the page from that data (no idea how to do that yet!)
In General
  • Access some javascript functions in an external javascript file (tried this, thought it would be easy, not got it right yet!)
  • provide some support for non-javascript enabled browser access (a continuing thing, all done so far)
But now it's time to go and pick my feller up from work. I'll have another go when I get in, but if something doesn't come clear soon I'll take a break. I have been doing this since 9am! That's 8 hours!!! With only toilet and kettle boiling breaks!

Now, we don't really do Romance, Yorkie and I. We're not the sort of couple that goes to posh restraunts, buy hearts and flowers on a whim etc, but last night we had a really sweet night. We didn't really do much that was classically romantic, it was the mood, the feeling in the air, if you know what I mean....? I cooked us steaks for tea, which is always a winner for Yorkie (his second fav after anything pork) and had the candles lit in the front room. Not that I was going for a romantic atmosphere, I just like to have candles lit on cold dark nights. We snuggled up on the settee together, watching nothing much on telly, all warm and cozy under a blanket, with the cat curled up o us. We'd been talking a little bit about the wedding and stuff, and about what my doc had said to me about what to do before we start a family. Yorkie's eyes went all soft and sweet, he was hugging me close and saying all the right kind of sweet thinks that I love to hear. It was on

International Babywearing Week

This is AWESOME! And I didn't even know about it until this year! International Babywearing Week ! I am a big fan of babywearing, although my journey to comfortable, workable babywearing was a slow one. With Jack and Tom I tried a variety of strap and buckle slings and they never really suited us. I gave up with them and thought that babywearing was for other people. Then when I had Georgie my step-mum gave me a Moby cloth wrap sling that she had found at a car boot sale. It came with a book of instructions for how to tie the sling and how to fit baby in safely and comfortably. I gave it a try. Georgie loved it. I loved it. I was totally sold! So from then on when ever I went shopping, or on the school run with the older boys, or to visit friends, or anything.... I popped Georgie in the Moby Wrap. He was comfortable, warm, close to my heart and his much loved boobies (I breastfeed), he could see the world around him, and was a very very happy baby! When I found out

Tom wanted a go at cooking this week. And beef kofta curry was his choice! Big helping hand from mum but he worked had and we had fun singing in the kitchen while we cooked. This "teaching life skills" is alright you know

Carmel by the Sea – The Town that GPS Forgot

Posted on Sep 26, 2013 in Travel

We had just booked our hotel online and I was trying to find it on my navigation system.  I looked at the address the hotel provided and it only said Junipero Street between 7th and 8th.   There must be some mistake I thought to myself and we dialed the hotel to get the address.

“Hello”, I said, ” I am trying to find your hotel, can you give me your address?”.  The receptionist replied, “Junipero between 7th and 8th”.

A little frustrated, I repeated the question and added, “I am trying to punch it into my GPS so I need the full address.”  She replied again, quite matter of factly, “Sir there are no addresses in Carmel”.

Well, that was the first of many unusual, unique and special things that I would learn about Carmel in my brief but very interesting stay there.  The roads were a little bit difficult to navigate there but the mismash of storybook cottages were all unique and beautiful.  And, instead of addresses, they had names, like this cute place called – Whale Watch.

Carmel is a throwback to the days when 60% of its inhabitants were artist.  It is a bit of Europe right in the middle of California. There are no parking meters, no street lights, no numbered houses.  There is even a law in Carmel that prohibits you from wearing high heal shoes without a permit.  That law was written to prevent lawsuits arising from the very uneven pavement that you will encounter there.

You get the sense that Carmel is a bit out of this world and it is.

 When we walked down the streets of Carmel we felt like we had landed somewhere in Europe.  It is a tiny town but the restaurants and boutique shops are all top quality.   I was amazed out how well the city had kept true to the European theme.  In fact, while we were there, a majority of the people that we saw on the streets were from France.  Everyone was French!

All around us were these ridiculously cute store fronts, coffee shops and places to sit.  There was even a tiny park with a single bench and one single tree.

Carmel was initially an artist community.  In 1905 the Carmel Arts and Crafts Club was formed to support and produce artistic works.  After San Francisco was destroyed in the fire the next year, the town was inundated with artist fleeing there for new homes.  The artist were offered lots to build homes for as little as $10 down and as much as they could pay each month.  Thats how Carmel was formed and developed – primarily by artist.

Carmel by the Sea is exceptionally dog friendly city too.  Most hotels let dogs stay with owners inside, many of the restaurants and retail stores allow dogs inside and give them treats and water bowls and biscuits can be found outside of many of the stores and restaurants.  Even the dogs love Carmel.  There is a warmth and friendliness to Carmel that you will not find in other places.

You almost forget you are in California, until you hit the beach.  Then you are in for a real treat.  The beach in Carmel is rugged.  It is sandy.  And it is scattered with beautiful and ancient looking trees called Monterey Cypress.  If you are a photographer or love photography you have probably seen the picture of the Lone Monterey Cypress jutting out from a cliff.

BDS_0798 copy

What makes Carmel such a great destination is not just the beautiful and friendly town itself but the unbelievably rugged and beautiful coastline and long beaches.  This is truly one of the finest places to visit in the United States.  Carmel is a place that we will return to again and again.

Resealing Tile Grout

I have been saving for months to redo the tile in my kitchen and adjacent areas. It is over 700 sq feet of existing tile that needs to be removed, and replaced.

I thought I had enough money set aside to do it when the electronic component in our oven gave out. It was going to be several hundreds of dollars to replace the part or several thousands to replace the oven.

The oven display light got dimmer and dimmer, so I was hoping it would hold out for a while but it stopped working all together and we were left without a functioning oven.

While trying to decide what to do, I came across a product called Polyblend Grout Renew Colorant. It's a color sealant that sits on top your existing grout, changing the color of the grout line.

I spent several days with my steamer in one hand, and a spray bottle of cleaning solution and toothbrush in the other. I methodically steamed, sprayed and scrubbed every linear foot of grout. It was a painstakingly slow and tedious process. One that I only completed because I knew it would be re-sealed afterward.

The tile grout went from brown to a light gray. The dirty water just lifted and spread out into the tile whenever the steamer ran through the grout line.

After this process was completed, Todd and I began to apply the color sealant to the grout line.

We tried all kinds of methods, and found that toothbrushes were the best way to do it. It took us two days to complete the project. By the end my wrists and knees hurt from being on a hard surface for so long.

The end result was all worth it. My floors look like new! I will be able to enjoy the floor for a while longer and buy the new oven that I need.

By the way, log4j, logback's predecessor, applies exactly the same logic.

The Great Fire of 1776

Today marks the anniversary of the beginning of the end of American control of Manhattan during the Revolutionary War – the Great Fire of 1776, which decimated Lower Manhattan on the night of September 21.

As we write in
Inside the Apple:
The fire started on the evening of September 21, 1776—perhaps in the Fighting Cocks Tavern on the wharf, though that has never been substantiated—and quickly engulfed the city west of Broadway. The churchyard surrounding Trinity Church kept the fire from heading south, but neither Trinity was spared, nor anything between it and St. Paul’s Chapel. St. Paul’s, itself only ten years old, had a bucket brigade manning its roof and was saved. In all, over 400 buildings were gone—nearly twenty-five percent of the city’s structures.

The British immediately blamed the Americans. (One American blamed by the British was Nathan Hale, who was arrested for spying that same day. Hale, however, had nothing to do with the fire.) General Howe called it a “horrid attempt” by a “number of wretches to burn the town….” As most of the damage happened on “Holy Ground” and other Trinity Church property, some saw it as an explicit attack on the Church of England’s power and influence. In truth, the Americans had contemplated the idea of torching the city if it fell into British hands. One of Washington’s generals, Nathaniel Greene (the “Fighting Quaker”), had pressed Washington in that direction. However, when Washington floated the idea by John Hancock, the Continental Congress immediately nixed it and it is unlikely that either Washington or Greene disobeyed Congress.
By the time the fire was extinguished, New York was firmly in British hands and it would remain the British center of authority until November 25, 1783 -- Evacuation Day.

One thing that ticked off the Americans left behind in the British-occupied city was the fact that none of the fire damage was repaired. Throughout the war the area west of Broadway was left to smolder in ruins. Much of the rebuilding -- including re-erecting the city's main church, Trinity, Wall Street -- would not happen until the 1790s.

stories I've experienced: The Invisible Hours (on Oculus Rift)

Over the course of this past month, hour session by hour session, I've made my way through the VR story experience called "The Invisible Hours" by Tequila Works.

The story takes place in the 1930s in an alternate universe in which Nikola Tesla has a sizable fortune, has faked his death, and escaped to a mysterious island to finish his more otherworldly work in peace. You soon find out Nikola has invited an intriguing assortment of guests to his sprawling estate for his own strange reasons. But you are never able to see Nikola as host, since you first encounter him dead on the main entrance foyer. The experience quickly unfolds into a classic who-dun-it in which you have to seek out the truth across 7 suspects' tangled story lines. The story you eventually unravel is written well enough, has intriguing characters, and a few eye opening twists and one jaw drop. But the story itself isn't what makes this a special entry in the early days of VR entertainment; what makes it special is an innovative new mechanic for how the visitor participates.

Like many of the story based VR experiences attempted, you the visitor are treated as a ghost-in-the-room without any ability to influence or any reactions from the cast. What makes the experience engrossing, at times delightful, and downright important in the evolution of the medium is how it gives the visitor complete control over time and space. You can pause, rewind, fast forward and teleport yourself around as over a 90 minute period, you follow the dramatic suspects through out this island complex, which is filled with strange rooms, secret passages, scattered clues and backstory artifacts.

What made Invisible Hours unique and a big step forward for the medium is that only in VR could I also control over time. I had a few giddy moments of appreciation when I would be following one suspect through some hallway or foyer and then cross paths with another suspect unwinding their own drama. I could then rewind and follow that person to find out what happened, only to be drawn into another crossing thread.

Many times during the experience, I felt a familiar delight I've had during some of my favorite immersive theater experiences, knowing that whatever thread of the story I chose to follow, a larger tapestry was being woven around me. I chose where to go and who to follow and so my story was crafted by my decisions. But because of my non-linear time powers in VR, I didn't feel choice anxiety. I could follow all of the threads, forward and backward, and yet the path I traced over the pre-determined tapestry of tangled threads was still my own.

The genius of it all is that having control over time and space is a perfect mechanic for a murder mystery. I was disappointed when I discovered I had no agency, but considering the goal was finding out who did it and not stopping who did it, I didn't need anything more than what I was given.

There were 4 particularly exceptional things the creators pulled off that deserve gold stars.
  • Although it took me the entire first act to realize I had complete control over time and place (for the most part), I still walked the path intended by the creators. I love that there weren't many artificial boundaries to the mechanic, but the experience was so well designed that by the end, I looked down the road I chose and realized it was all a magic trick. And I loved the magicians for it.
  • The creators made smart visual design decisions so they didn't have to do that much fixup on the hours of motion capped acting by keeping farther away from the Uncanny Valley. Although there still were awkward idle loops and comically wooden acting, considering the state of the art and the cost per minute limitations of VR, it was stand out work.
  • Being able to hear sounds and dialogue from other parts of the house was one of my favorite parts. That being said, the sound design was far from perfect: many times sound from another room didn't feel muffled by walls or properly reverbing around the wooden hallways. I am willing to give the sound designer a pass here considering the amount of content and the small budget for the experience. But what excited me is that just like in immersive theater, being able to hear noise from other rooms reminded me of the larger web of story around me.
  • Finally, the more spine tingling, eye popping moments I had were amplified when a chilling swell of music would accompany a dramatic reveal. Using music as a way to steer the audience's empathy is a story tellers tool that works as well in VR as it does in theater as it does in movies. The creators of The Invisible Hours used it to great effect.
