Although Plastilinovy JiNN are not the only heavy metal band from Kazakhstan, according to the Encyclopaedia Metallum on the Internet, but they are probably the most popular one, which to a certain degree is due to their aggressive marketing techniques. As with their two previous recordings, Plastilinovy JiNN again make their new album, simply titled Rock, available for free downloading, even in highest MP3 encoding, which the usual pay sites don’t even offer.
From a musical point of view, not much has changed though with the Kazakhs. Their eleven new songs are generally short and combine traditional hard rock and heavy metal music with Eastern melancholy and cheesy synth sounds that remind of late Seventies disco era. The opener Let JiNN Out for instance sounds like Rammstein making a cover version of AC/DC’s Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap. The ballad Letny Liven (Summer Rain) is the only song longer than three minutes, with added female vocals and a high but also cute kitsch factor. Plastilinovy JiNN’s general sound combines fast guitars with hoarse vocals that remind me of Russian metal pioneers Kruiz. This is all nice and good, but the element of surprise that was present at the first album I heard from them, and also still recognisable the second time around, has disappeared on Rock. Plastilinovy JiNN are still a rather original band. I couldn’t name many others that play this Eastern sounding heavy metal. It seems though that this time many songs have been manufactured with the same template in mind, which makes for little variety. Maybe allowing their songs to develop and become longer would help to add different moods.
Rock is still an interesting addition to every eclectic heavy metal collection. As the album is available for free downloading on the band’s website, there is actually no excuse not to get their new album.

Comparison between GAP8 performance & ARM M7 on Embedded CNNs.
Current ultra-low power smart sensing edge devices, operating for years on small batteries, are limited to low-bandwidth sensors, such as temperature or pressure. Enabling the next generation of edge devices to process data from richer sensors such as image, video, audio, or multi-axial motion/vibration has huge application potential.
However, edge processing of data-rich sensors pose the extreme challenge of squeezing the computational requirements of advanced, machine-learning-based near-sensor data analysis algorithms (such as Convolutional Neural Networks) within the mW-range power envelope of always-ON battery-powered IoT end-nodes.

ASA Monitor 10 2013, Vol.77, 42-43.
When Cindy Zerwas was diagnosed with brain cancer one and one-half years ago, her response was – for the many who knew and loved her – entirely true to character: she apologized to her husband and children for bringing such a burden upon them.
Surrounded by her loving family, Cindy passed away on August 20, 2013, after a valiant fight against glioblastoma.
The memorial that took place for Cindy on August 24, 2013, was emblematic of the way she lived her life. The service drew approximately 2,000 people, a testament to the number of lives she touched both within and far outside her community.

When creating a WPF application, you should avoid using bitmaps for images in your application but instead use images drawn using vector graphics.
You can use a tool like Microsoft Expression Design 4 to generate your images. You can then export these images as XAML, so that you can use them directly in a WPF application.
I’m using Blend as a designer. I created a simple button interface that slides into the screen. I want to send the xaml code to the developers, from what I understand they can open this code within Visual Studio and see what I’ve designed as well as editing the code to fit their needs. How do I do this? Do I just copy the xaml code?

The world premiere of Carlyle Brown’s Finding Fish launches Illusion Theater's 2016-2017 season. A co-production between Illusion and Carlyle Brown & Company, this cautionary tale about the sustainability wars between fishermen and scientists is told through the lens of one family's struggles as they search for fish on the coast of Maine.
Part myth, part science fiction, Finding Fish takes place in a future when food is scarce and the oceans have been nearly depleted of fish. But one fisherman on the Maine Coast keeps bringing in the catch. Could his luck have anything to do with his strange new wife? "The Committee” has sent the fisherman’s brother to reel him in – and his secrets.

IT’S getting noisy beneath the waves. Studies off the California coast have shown that low-frequency noise has doubled every decade since 1960. This human-made noise could be having a devastating effect on underwater life, by interfering with whales’ calls or damaging creatures’ bodies.
Now new noise forecasting techniques are being used to help track the effect that noisy human activity is having on sea life. This information could eventually be used to reroute ships to safeguard vulnerable marine species.
Whales are particularly at risk because they use low-frequency calls to communicate across thousands of kilometres. Unfortunately, these frequencies, in the 20 to 2000 hertz range, overlap with major noise pollutants, chiefly ships’ propellers and the air guns used to prospect for oil beneath the seabed (see “The din beneath the waves”).
One result may be that whales are losing contact with one another and with their prey. Baleen whales, including the endangered humpback and right whales, are particularly vulnerable, says Leila Hatch, a marine ecologist at Stellwagen Bank National Marine Sanctuary in Scituate, Massachusetts.
A study in the bay of Fundy, Canada, showed that right whales appear to be issuing louder calls to make themselves heard over the noise. This saps energy that could otherwise be used for finding food or mating, Hatch says. It was also reported this year that shipping noise can “pulp” the ears of squid and octopuses, making it hard for them to balance in the water and move (New Scientist, 16 April, p 15).
Thomas Folegot, founder of Quiet-Oceans in Brest, France, has developed a computer model called Quonops that analyses maps of the sea floor and predicts how sound will behave as it propagates through water of different salinities, temperatures and depths. Folegot presented his system at the 2nd International Marine Conservation Congress in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, last month. He has used Quonops to make noise pollution maps of roughly 18 cubic kilometres of ocean in the middle of the Strait of Gibraltar.
The identity, location and speed of all ships over 300 tonnes can now be tracked using a system called Automated Identification System (AIS). Quonops can use this information to identify ships with the noisiest propellers and predict how this noise will propagate through the water.
To determine how those noises overlap with the sounds produced by marine animals, Hatch placed recorders on the sea floor in the 2200-square-kilometre Stellwagen sanctuary. From these recordings it was possible to map nearby marine mammals by their calls and calculate the distance over which the whales’ voices can be heard against any background noise. The team’s preliminary results show that right whales have lost, on average, 80 per cent of the area they would normally be able to communicate over. The recordings also helped to validate computer-derived noise forecasts from systems similar to Quonops.
Ships’ propellers generate continuous low-frequency noise, as their churning action forms cavities in the water that pop loudly as they collapse. “A really cavitating propeller is a bad propeller,” says marine ecologist Leila Hatch. To reduce noise, propeller blades can be redesigned to minimise cavitation. Military and cruise ships already use less noisy propellers.
Another source of underwater noise is the guns that fire shots of compressed air at the ocean floor to probe the seismic properties of the underlying rock. One way of mitigating the noise pollution from these devices is to use more sensitive receivers to pick up sound waves reflected by the rock, so that less powerful blasts are needed.

As some of you might know (although I guess most of you might not be aware), Timotei and me participated in GSOC 2014 this year. My project was to create a Look n' Feel editor to CEED for all 0.8.X version of CEGUI (we also support higher versions of course). This is a feature that has been missing in CEGUI until now. Before CEED, CEGUI has had tools for layout and imageset creation and editing, such as the CELayoutEditor. However, Look N' Feel (LNF) editing has never been possible and as far as I know creating an editor hasn't even been attempted. I thought this would be a pity, considering that the ability to creating new widgets is crucial for GUI development in many cases. Skinning of widgets is also easily possible with such an editor, working purely in an XML editor to accomplish this, is otherwise very tideous: there is no preview, no good overview of the possible attributes, no helpful features such as Colour Picking/Image Selection/Font Selection etc. and every change has to be tested by starting the application running CEGUI - an inefficient process.
With a proper tool however, it becomes really easy. This is why I decided this would make for a great addition to CEGUI. I was not acquainted with CEED development and the Python language, but I relatively quickly worked myself into the large CEED code base and learnt to use Python, which was actually relatively smooth. PyCharms were so nice to privde us with a free license for Open Source projects, thanks to PyCharms at this point!
Unfortunately, when I started to get to the "real" development of the editor, I encountered numerous issues in the CEGUI C++ code. Some of the files were created around 10 years ago and they seem to have hardly ever been updated. Also a newly added "inheritation" feature showed numerous occasions of faulty behaviour that could have caused crashes, if it had ever been used (it is badly documented so we doubt anyone used it). Due to this, a lot of the Falagard code had to be reworked, which took a good chunk of my time of the GSoC. At least one thing that is positive about this is that I was able to fix a lot of issues and rework a lot of functions which results in now cleaner code in this section of CEGUI.
Now to the real deal: The editor. In the screenshot below, you see me editing a Vanilla/Button look n' feel in CEED. Generally it would be recommended to either inherit this button (not yet implemented) and work on the inherited LNF, or to copy paste the definition into a new file and work on that file (we will add a shortcut for this in the future). But for the sake of a quick preview I m directly editing the original file. On the top left you can see the WidgetLook (WL) selector (selects a WidgetLook defined in the LNF file being edited), which consists of a dropdown selection to choose from the available WidgetLooks and of an Edit button. On clicking edit, the specific WL is opened. Below is the hierarchy window. It contains the editable attributes from the XML in a ordered and categorised tree. Selecting an attribute show a list of new options in the Falagard Element editor on the right. These options can be edited with a double-click on the value. Depending on the type of attribute, the easiest and most intutitive way to change the value is chosen (for example a ColourPicker for colours). Images (and Fonts) can be selected from a dropdownlist containing all loaded Image (or Font) definitions; bool is represented by a checkbox, etc etc. The changes are directly applied and can be seen in the Preview instantenously. In the shown case the "NormalImage" PropertyDefinition's initial value is overwritten. This means that now there is an image set for the button by default, as can be seen on the screenshot. We already support editing of pretty much every type of attribute.
I also added alternating colours for the lists and trees, which I also applied for the pre-existing layout-editor. This is based on the look of QtDesigner. I hope users will enjoy this change, I personally definitely prefer it over the alternating grey tones we had before (They were too sad!). I also worked a bit on the Code editor of the LNF Editor. By default the LNF code editor now highlights the part of the code that is part of the currently edited WidgetLook. Additionally, it jumps to the beginning of that code when changing to the editor. This should make it much easier to edit code by hand because the user does not need to scroll to the right widget every time and has an easier overview of the code relevant to the widget thanks to the colour highlighting.
The LNF editor is not complete yet, but definitely the main part of the work is done, the overall setup is there and most of the LNF is already displayed and editable, many features are tested and are actually working very well. It can already used for simple skinning such as mere replacement of images in a LNF file. In the future we will add some features that allow way easier creation of new LNFs and new Widgets, add inheritation and allow an even broader set of changes to LNFs. If you consider already using the CEED changes, you have to be aware that the LNF editor is currently unstable (make backups of your CEGUI datafiles and save regularly while working on them!) and some parts are not fully implemented yet, therefore it should be used with great caution until we officially announce it is finished.

Will you try to open that mysterious door, or would you rather see how far you can throw a speaker set out the window?
Human: Fall Flat is most certainly a puzzle platformer. There are lots of puzzles, and lots of platforms to jump between, over, and shimmy around. It doesn’t, however, control like any puzzle platform game I’ve ever encountered. Forget the precision of the recently released Super Mario Odyssey, this takes you into the opposite direction of fighting the controls for minimal gains. What seemed at first to be a clumsy, stumbling, drunken buffoon of a character, slowly develops a skill set that requires practice, patience and most certainly persistence. You see, the awkward movement of your character is one of the challenges to overcome. Deliberately holding you back from seemingly easy everyday tasks in order for you to feel truly accomplished at completing a difficult section of a level, and to revel in the hilarity that often occurs at simple lapses of concentration.
Controlling Bob is not easy. The Left Analogue Stick moves him around the 3D environment in a shambling, half-drunken zombie gait. Slow and steady is certainly Bob’s thing. The Right Analogue Stick is used for camera control, and vertical orientation can be inverted. The camera is responsive, never gets stuck on scenery, but has a preponderance to zoom through your character when in enclosed spaces or near a wall, making it hard to know what’s going on, or what you’re doing. Due to the requirement of 2 Analogue Sticks, when playing in 2-player mode the option of single Joy-Con use is not available. Full controller set-ups must be used. Bob jumps with a press of A, a rather short and low jump, though, and plays dead, collapsing on the spot, with a press of X, not useful, but always hilarious at the right/wrong time.
His true manipulation of the environment comes from the use of his hands. Pressing and holding ZL extends Bob’s left arm, with ZR doing the same for his right. The end of each arm houses a sticky hand. Touch anything and Bob grabs hold of it until you release the ZR or ZL button. By doing this and moving the camera (known as Bob’s head) around you’ll see that control of the height and stretch of his arms are possible. Look up and Bob raises his arms, look down and he bends over and stretches to retrieve something from the floor. One of the biggest challenges to overcome, therefore, is distance. Judging the correct distance between you, your hard to control appendages, and the object that is required to be interacted with is fiddly at best.
As you progress through the game a lot of well timed jumping is required, and you may ask, how is this possible with a deliberately awkward set-up meant to confound the player. Well to jump to anything just above head height, first raise both your arms by holding the camera to look up and pressing ZL and ZR, then jump into the platform, with a short run and press of A. The sticky hands will catch hold of the ledge, don’t let go now. Next, tilt your head to look down, thereby moving your hands down and pulling your body up. At just the right time, when the ‘weight’ of your body is over the lip of the platform, let go with your hands (ZL and ZR) and push forward on to walk (Left Analogue Stick) and get up to safety. Seems complicated for a little jump, well yes, and that’s the point of the whole game. The first time you perform the move, with so many button presses, holding this, letting go there, it all seems confusing and you’ll mess up and drop. What Human: Fall Flat does well is giving you plenty of practice to master that skill before moving you onto the next. The jumping mechanic is tutorialised by making your way up a mountain. One mistake will probably mean falling all the way to the bottom and restarting another attempt at the climb. Perseverance is an absolute requisite for the player of Human: Fall Flat, and with it such actions become second nature to pull off. Just as you’ve become familiar with this moveset, Human: Fall Flat moves onto teaching you another skill. And there are many, from climbing, to shimmying, to lever pulling, button pressing, rope swinging, hooking/unhooking, death sliding, throwing, momentum flinging, floating, rowing, barrel rolling, catapult loading and firing, unlocking various door styles, building objects that will suffice to allow progress, etc. And the environment of each level is such that with clever thinking, or just dumb luck, there’s always more than one way to skin a cat.
The levels within Human: Fall Flat are large open areas allowing you to explore at your leisure what it is that is required of you to make progress to the next section. Each level presents itself as a playground for the player to focus on progress or as an experimentation laboratory. I could move the wrecking ball to knock down a wall allowing access to the next interlinked area of the level, or I could jump into a large refuse bin and get my friend to push it off the side of the tall half demolished 5 storey building. And that’s where Human: Fall Flat excels, when 2-players are enjoying their time together. Playing alone can feel ostensibly like playing a regular puzzle platform game. Add the second player and the ability to help each other out, scupper the other person’s best laid plans, or just piss-around and laugh at being catapulted across a river for no other reason than it’s fun, is where Human: Fall Flat’s longevity lies. There were also plenty of instances where I felt I had missed a chunk of a level because I’d found my own way around, in a way that was not intended. And this lends the game an air of replayability to check out areas that you may somehow have skipped through. Places, such as Mansions, Mountains, Demolition Sites, Castles, and Waterways can all be traversed at your leisure or with more of a goal based focus.
Human: Fall Flat has a solid feel to its low poly-visuals. Textures are flat colours, but the use of shadow gives everything a depth of solidity required to feel part of the landscape. Draw distance is as far as the eye can see, for the most part, only fogging in the details at the most far removed structures. Yes, visually simplistic, but Human: Fall Flat excels with its physics. Everything behaves as you would imagine it to in the real world. Place a cylinder on the floor, with a long plank over it, and you have a seesaw. Get player 2 to drop an anvil onto the other end, and propelling hilarity never ceases to amuse. Ropes can be use to cross crevasses by swinging in a coordinated fashion, individual bricks of a wall fall down after being smashed by a huge wrecking ball, larger heavier objects are more difficult to move than their lighter, smaller counterparts. The only thing that seems wonky in this world is your interface of interaction with it, Bob.
That’s not to say everthing is perfect, far from it. Human: Fall Flat suffers from performance issues. Whether docked or undocked, one or two-players, the performance issues were all too present. The most vivid were the freeze frames. The game would freeze for over a second at a time before resuming its course. The game also has a dropped frame rate that causes stuttering in places where the areas tend to be larger. It’s far from game breaking, but it is very evident and jarring, and occurs regularly enough to be off-putting in some of the trickier sections. These performance issues present themselves in all the varieties of the Switch’s play-styles, docked or undocked. However, the general gameplay is so slow that the stuttering frame rate doesn’t really get in the way. It resolves itself quickly, within a few seconds, and normal play is resumed, until the next stuttering fit or freeze.
The music is lovely. Orchestral violin and clarinet concertos reinforce the dream-like visual scope of Bob’s dreams. Sound effects are mostly thudding, bumping, clanking noises of Bob’s misuse of the environmental objects at hand, and adds to the level of immersion and hilarity, slap-stick style. Nothing like turning around with an oar and ‘accidently’ clouting player 2 in the back of the head, with the appropriate comedy thud, to propel them over the mountain, that they’ll have to climb back up again. Which reminds of the save states. If only one of the 2 players makes it to a checkpoint, then upon death both players can spawn at this new location. It makes the 2-player game a little easier to navigate than a solo attempt. Why build a shipping container staircase, when you can just get player 2 to jump onto the dock-crane and hoist them over, then jump into the salty-brine and spawn at the newly created marker.
Players can customise their character from the Main Menu with skin colour changes, and different items of clothes for the three main body parts. All clothes can be colour changed to suit your dress sense, and clothes from police uniforms and casuals, to construction workers and soldiers can be chosen. Or, to the hell with that and just walk around naked.
The game has fluctuated between making me, at first, think that I’d hate this game because of the broken mechanics, to loving it, for the very same reason, to me screaming in frustration as an oar gets caught on some scenery and I pushed back into the water and a drown based death, for the 15th time. Replaying difficult sections is a requirement in this game.
So Human: Fall Flat excels at its attempt at a physics based puzzle platformer, and this is especially true when playing in local co-op mode with another player of a like mind. The game struggles to maintain the player’s interest in a solo play through once the main progression/story is completed. Some of the puzzles are truly great, whilst others can be approached and solved from a variety of angles, others, yet still, require a linear puzzle solution that can be tediously repetitive or, at worst, downright frustrating. A great game held slightly back by frustrating elements and a stuttering framerate no matter how you play it.
Great puzzle platformer with 2 players present to test the physics engine to breaking point in hilarious hi-jinks, struggles to maintain interest beyond the main progression in one-player mode, and is plagued by non-game breaking frame freezes and stuttering throughout.

Several weeks ago I spied a cute little white cabinet with vintage glass knobs at Monticello where I have my booth. I looked at it a couple times and left. After I got home I was still thinking about it. Now, if you could see my house, you would know that I don’t need anything in the way of little cabinets, but I just adore them. Can’t help it. So the next week I went back and bought that little cabinet.
Haven’t decided what I’m going to do with it or where I’ll put it, but I know it’s a keeper. Most of the stuff I buy is for re-sale, but every once in awhile (okay, if I’m being honest, lots of times) I will find something just for me.
I just knew it would have to come home with me. No hesitation this time. It was a great price too. After my dealer discount, only $30. It’s a murano glass mirror in perfect condition. I know that because I first saw one in Rachel Ashwell’s Shabby Chic Home book.
Her’s is a bit bigger than mine and so gorgeous.
I did a little checking and found one on ebay for sale with a buy it now price of $475, so I’m thinking I got a great deal!
Speaking of Rachel Ashwell, I may have mentioned before how much I love her and her design esthetic. Discovering her first book was like an epiphany and a beginning to my own decorating adventures. Recently Ms. Ashwell was at a show in Northern California signing copies of her newest book, (which of course I have and love) and I toyed with the idea of driving down there just so I could meet her. A little stalkerish, I admit, but I am seriously hoping that she will deem us Pacific Northwesterners worthy of a visit someday soon. Can you imagine how awesome it would be if she graced us with an appearance at Farm Chicks next year? I, for one, would be thrilled!
Hope you enjoyed my little White Wednesday post! Have an awesome rest of the week!
Oh, but I think you DID need that little cabinet. I totally love it - and your mirror is gorgeous!
I would absolutely keep that chest! And not only is that mirror gorgeous, but the reflection in it is beautiful, too.
I'll say you got a good deal! I thought that mirror was gorgeous and a awesome good deal at $30.00, but $475!?! It's a steal!!
The little cabinet is adorable. I have one very similar to it.
Gorgeous finds, Lisa! I have a thing for cabinets too! (Or maybe I have an issue with them)! Nonetheless! Love it and ADORE your new mirror!
I love that mirror, what a wonderful find!

Lives Transformed Through Jesus and Education.
Andy Economides completed three fruitful missions to Ibadan, Nigeria covering just 43 days between February and October 2018. Andy's wife, Jane assisted on two of these missions with practical work at the Soteria Business School and Prospect School, praying with people and counselling some needy young students. The Soteria team for the first mission consisted of Andy, Jane, Rev. Paul Collins and Lou (teacher) his wife. Paul Collins preached excellently throughout. Lou's main task was to carry out extensive work at the SBS in improving teaching methods and helping the head teacher to follow these improvements. The Soteria Trust administrator and project manager, Jana, carried out extensive work with the sponsored children at Prospect School and young people at SBS. Andy finalised the designs and contracts for the solar, new girls' dormitory and roof with the engineers in Nigeria. The children and young people were extremely delighted to receive letters and gifts from their sponsors. We thank all our sponsors who sponsor workers at SBS, young people or children.
The new ND in Software Engineering was launched at the SBS in September 2018 with 16 students. SBS waits for the Nigerian Educational Board to carry out an inspection at the school in order to launch another ND in Hardware Engineering. Please pray. More importantly SBS waits to hear about the seminar the government wants to conduct at the SBS in order to launch a National Diploma course in Business Management with IT. SBS hopes to start this in 2019. Please pray.
4 Schools, over 1700 students heard the Good News.
200 Discipleship/Gospel books ‘True’ (by A. Economides) freely given in one school.
Extensive preaching/ministry by Andy and Paul in churches, SBS, Prospect School, New Life Conference and secondary schools.
"Perhaps the greatest 'event' for me was preaching the gospel to about 500 pupils in the assembly and inviting the entire school to turn from sin, trust the cross of Jesus and take God’s gift of the Holy Spirit. This was followed by 3 seminars including Muslim children listening respectfully about Jesus. Students eagerly took 200 gospel/discipleship books as they left the seminars".
Preached 12 times at; Bible studies, SBS assemblies, Sunday services, churches, and secondary schools. (Andy Economides).
Baptised 14 SBS students (2nd & 3rd mission).
Awarded 5, 2-year International Chichester College Diplomas in Administration, Computing and Business at the Graduation.
31 Sponsorships awarded to children to attend Prospect School.
The Solar system has been installed at the Soteria Business School and operating well since November 2018. Solar provides constant electricity for the school together with the national electricity supply. Solar has almost eliminated the necessity of using the generator. Solar reduces electricity running costs, is quiet, does not pollute, and provides security at night. The new additional girls' dormitory at the SBS accommodates 14 students. The new roof for the smaller building at the SBS is due for completion in January 2019. We are thankful to the Lord and his people for providing the solar, girls' dormitory and new roof. All these things are great along with education, but Andy Economides writes; "The greatest thing is knowing Jesus and following Jesus’ teaching and eternal life".
Sponsorships help to provide part of the salary and create a job for the worker and their family. This in turn helps Soteria Trust help needy and vulnerable young people. Should a sponsored worker leave their position their sponsors will be informed and the support shall be transferred to a new worker or child or young person. Mr Christopher, teacher and librarian at Soteria School says; "I have been working at SBS for 11 years. I have passion for teaching. It has been a blessing and privilege to work at SBS and help the needy young people. Some of the students that I taught have obtained good employment and some have been able to go further to study in university".
Soteria Trust also provides scholarships for over 80 needy young people to study at the Soteria Business School. When sponsored young students complete their course their sponsors will be informed and their kind sponsorship transferred to another needy or vulnerable person or child or SBS worker and details sent. The courses vary in length from about 3 months to 2 years or so. This means some sponsors may sponsor one or two or more students per year.
Soteria Trust provides educational sponsorships for over 80 children at Prospect School. Prospect is a pre-school, primary and secondary school all in one. Children sponsored at Prospect will attend school from a few years to many. When children leave Prospect their sponsors will be informed and their kind sponsorship transferred to another needy or vulnerable child or young person or SBS worker and details sent. All sponsored children from Prospect will be given the opportunity to transfer to the Soteria Business School. Some of these children will accept the offer and go to the SBS for further study.

Sketch of the day no 911 in my moleskine art journal: vintage Spong mincer N605.
It’s easier to digest things in small bits.
Sketch of the day in my moleskine art journal is of a vintage Spong mincer N605 I spotted at a flea market.
I’m sure they have schemes for the homeless. A friend of mine used to work in NYC on homeless issues.
wow that’s a lot of homeless people in SF. That is really sad.
PS. Take good care of yourself my dear. The UK is not immune to the madness we just saw in France. Also, I understand that there have been unpleasant “incidents” from some brits towards foreigners. One has to move on and ignore the jerks, but just watch your back. Bz.
Yes, we did. Thank you. A nice town, a bit… marred by a terrible homeless situation. There are more than 6,000 homeless in San Francisco. Most concentrated between Powell and Market St. Most with sever health (physical and mental) health issues. A shame really.
How was SG?Did you have a good vacation?
You are very resilient. I’m not. Same happened to me more or less, just swap the mouse for a hyrax, and the wasp for a scorpion. let us say I have learned to give animals their distance… Oh! I saw a lot of Stewart’s cousins in San Francisco. They say hello.
A brain cell mincer? 🙂 Have a lovely week Tiffany. (Going to San Francisco tomorrow. For a week. Nice. I will say hello to the sea lions on your behalf) Cheers.
haha yes I do love vintage and my brain works like a mincer or mixer. It floats around and perculates and something materializes!
Interesting how your mind works… I already know you like vintage objects (what on earth is a “spong”?), but you see something, and somehow, the idea for a sketch springs AND the words that go along, and very nicely. I suspect the image is what stir the words, right? And the words come… easily.
When I saw this at a flea market I was instantly drawn to it. I havent seen one since I was a child like you, brings back great childhood memories. This orange one would be perfect for mincing carrots! What colour was the one in your kitchen?

I'm personally never without a claw clip. I keep one clamped on the strap of every bag I carry so that I can hike up my strands at a moment's notice—because who can get any work done when your hair is in your face? Now, the fashion world is giving the green light on my lazy-girl hair staple, and I'm all about it.
At the recent Alexander Wang runway show during New York Fashion Week, models were sent down the runway with slicked-back hair twisted into a clip with the tail ends sticking out. "This is Alex Wang's take on the 80’s power woman, when we first saw female empowerment in the office," Redken Global Creative Director Guido Palau said this about the look. "The hair is sort of an ironic take on that power woman with the inclusion of the custom-made Alexander Wang silver clips. It feels young, with a slight irony to it." Palau added that a few spritzes of Redken Forceful 23 Hairspray ($18; walmart.com) gave the look some serious shine and hold.
Not only are they extremely versatile, but you can find claw clips in different sizes and finishes (such as clear, printed, or metallic) and they're available everywhere from your local drugstore to higher-end designers. We love Goody Large Claw Clips ($7; amazon.com), Scunci 3-Count Claw Clip ($4; amazon.com), and the Kitsch Open Claw Clip Set ($20; shopbop.com).
If the looser style of yesteryear (à la the Stratford sisters in 10 Things I Hate About You) isn't quite your speed, Redken's literal twist on the look with more of a structured top is a nice variation to try. Or, you could do what I do every night: In order to maintain an "away from my face" wave pattern, I part my hair down the middle and twist the two sections back to the very ends. Then I wrap the two tails together and clamp a claw clip in the middle with the ends sticking out on each side to keep them straighter. In the morning, I wake up to loose waves with straight ends. This is especially helpful when I get a blowout that I want to preserve—it helps me hit at least five days. Now do you understand my obsession with claw clips?

ALMA (ESO/NAOJ/NRAO), NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, W. Zheng (JHU), M. Postman (STScI), the CLASH Team, Hashimoto et al.
The universe’s first stars may have formed a mere 250 million years after the big bang—hundreds of millions of years earlier than thought, according to a new study.
The find comes thanks to observations of an ancient galaxy known as MACS1149-JD1, first detected in 2012. In 2016 and 2017, a team of astronomers took another look using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), a collection of 64 radio telescopes in Chile. They measured the frequency of a peak in the galaxy’s spectrum that comes from ionized oxygen gas. When that light was produced in MACS1149-JD1 it was in the infrared, but during its billions of years journeying to Earth, the expansion of the universe stretched it out to the microwave frequencies that ALMA is sensitive to. Measuring that shift in frequencies reveals that the light set out 13.3 billion years ago, when the universe was just 550 million years old.
The fact that it was an oxygen line is significant: No oxygen was produced in the big bang; it was formed later when hydrogen gas coalesced into the first generation of stars and fusion reactions in their cores forged hydrogen into oxygen and other elements. At the end of their lives, the stars exploded, spreading those elements through space.
For MACS1149-JD1 to contain substantial amounts of oxygen, many stars must have already gone through that whole life cycle. The researchers report in Nature today that they then observed the galaxy in optical frequencies using the Hubble and Spitzer space telescopes to understand its star formation, concluding that it must have begun 300 million years earlier.
The findings pose problems for theorists because other evidence points to a later start for the first stars. Whether MACS1149-JD1 is just an outlier or the tip of an iceberg will have to wait for more observations.

If you don’t already know, HARO stands for Help A Reporter Out (www.helpareporter.com) and is one of the easiest ways to ultimately get featured in the media. Most people either don’t know about this online resource or they don’t really understand how to get results from it. I’m going to help you with both.
First, anyone can get a free account on the website www.helpareporter.com, and that’s all you really need to get started. Yes, they have premium accounts that cost monthly fees, but you don’t need those programs until you first learn the basics. I recommend upgrading after you get some results, which shouldn’t take you long with my tips and tricks.
Bottom line, HARO was setup to help reporters gain easy access to sources in the every day ordinary world to help them write their stories, research their topics, and form their views for the media. Just as equally, it was designed to help speakers, authors, and experts find opportunities to share their wisdom and experiences with the media.
1. Speed – 3 times everyday HARO will send out emails that have lists of potential stories from reporters in them. The trick here is to respond quickly to these links with your thoughts, ideas, and contributions. Even if the link says the story won’t be written or finished for days, you want to be one of the first people to respond. Usually the potential story is shaped and structured by the first couple quality responses from sources. You must be quick!
2. Subject Line – Make sure the subject line is directly tied to the story the reporter is researching. There is nothing wrong with using the exact title of their query in HARO as the subject line. In fact, my tip is you do exactly that!
3. Succinct – When responding to a link about a potential story you want to contribute to, you want to use just 2-4 sentences to address their request for information. The reporter will contact you if they want more. You may also include succinct info about yourself, but I highly recommend your initial response be only 2-4 sentences that directly reply to the reporters query.
4. Sophisticated – Write out your response in Word first to ensure good spelling and grammar. Once it’s written out well, then copy and paste it directly in the email. You want your 2-4 sentences to be written correctly and edited for errors. If the query in HARO provides a reporters name then use it in the email. My tip is to be polite, professional, and on point. This is what it means to be sophisticated.
5. Sell it – You sell your contribution through your social proof. You want to include a short bio of yourself, a good website address that positions you as a sophisticated expert, name of the book(s) you wrote, and maybe some social media links that show you have a following. My tip is to show you are an expert in your field. Do NOT include any attachments in your emails because they will be removed by the HARO email system or your email just won’t go through at all. Use links to anything that you want to show in order to prove your expertise.
This is more than enough to get you results when it comes to media features. Just these 5 Secrets to HARO Success can get you good links to improve your SEO as well as create more Social Proof to increase sales conversions with clients. Happy hunting, and enjoy!

If someone asks me about my favourite body part, my answer would always be 'my hair'. I have always had an amazing relationship with my hair. I rarely change my hair care routine and I don't like to try too many products for my hair. If I would like something I would use it for at least a couple of years before I start looking for something else. I have never come across a dry shampoo that actually works for me. It either would leave a really bad white stain or make my hair greasy. I kind of gave up on finding one that would work for me. But then, I spotted this dry shampoo by DOVE at a departmental store in Dubai. I thought why not give yet another one a try. The risk completely paid off! I love it! It makes my hair look really fresh, doesn't leave a white residue and smells great. I just regret not buy any backups!
Let me know your suggestions on any good dry shampoo in the comments below.
I've never tried a dry shampoo, I think they're not a big thing in Spain, but this one actually sounds really good.

A musical romance with 16 new songs for a boy and a girl, combining humor, sadness, sweetness, virtuosity and maybe just a little more truth than you can really cope with.
9. How Many Times Do I Have to Say I'm Sorry?
Imagine sunny Kadriorg Park on an early spring evening in February. This is exactly the atmosphere in Kumu auditorium, starting from the very first notes of the concert by Estonian singer-songwriter Helin-Mari Arder and Andy Fite - an American jazz guitarist, singer and songwriter living in Sweden. Winter jazz really does bring springtime closer!
This beautiful duo, working together for about ten years now, performed in the Winter Jazz Festival nine years ago. The joy of meeting again was great, both for the audience and the artists themselves. Both musicians have created a lot of music on their own through the years. And it is only natural that two so hard-working and talented artists recognized this in each other already ten years ago and united it on stage. This has led to a magical interaction that is solid as a rock, but yet so warm and beautiful.
The concert started without a longer talk and the music seized the audience right away. The first song was from the new album "Really Just Friends", which is mostly comprised of original tunes by Andy Fite. After that there was the nicely swinging "Do You Know What? (I'm Starting to Like You)” from the first CD (I'm Starting to Like You). The whole repertoire was in English and the songs were by turns from the first and the newest CD.
With the listeners the duo took faster and slower steps, laughed and cried. There were serious moments and some raw language, some bebop scatting from Helin-Mari Arder and surprising and humorous vocal improvisational moments from Andy Fite, including, for example, a very nice surprise: a solo on kazoo! We must also mention his excellent technique on guitar.
The emotionally varied colors of the songs, with love as leitmotif, and the vitality and humanity they expressed, created a dynamic that somehow bound up the whole concert as if it was one story. The encore songs also carried the same energy. In the first of them, "How Many Times Do I Have to Say I'm Sorry", Helin-Mari Arder's masterfully phrased solo was especially memorable. The connection between the audience and the artists remained strong until the very last – third— encore. There too the duo kept their excellent sense of humor, improvising a speech-like vocal duet (not real words), a spicy argument in the everyday life of a couple.
As I was walking home after the concert and thinking about it, I realized I was smiling, and for good reason. Helin-Mari Arder and Andy Fite gave so much of themselves, and I believe that both younger and older listeners were very positively charged by this concert. To conclude my impressions of this sincere, beautiful and utterly professional concert I can say just one thing: amazing!

REACH-HF was co-designed by clinicians, academics, patients and caregivers to help increase participation in rehabilitation therapies by bringing care into patients’ own homes including a programme of exercise and well-being.
A new home-based rehabilitation programme could help thousands of heart failure patients to achieve a better quality of life, research carried out in collaboration with the University of Birmingham has found.
The programme was aimed at patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction - where their heart muscles do not contract as effectively as they should resulting in poorer circulation of blood around the body – which affects approximately half of heart failure patients.
The five-year study received £2million in funding from the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR) under its Programme Grants for Applied Research programme, with contributions also from a number of clinical and academic partners from across the UK including Exeter, Gwent, Birmingham, York, and Dundee.
Approximately 900,000 people are affected by heart failure in the UK, costing the NHS £1bn per year. Although NICE recommends that all people with heart failure should receive rehabilitation, less than one in 10 do.
In this study, the researchers monitored 216 patients with an average aged of 70 who participated in the REACH-HF programme for 12 months, and found that their quality of life was significantly improved compared to patients not undergoing rehabilitation.
In addition to education and psychological support the rehab programme included chair-based or walking exercises three or more times a week. The cost of the intervention was £418 per patient - within the £477 that the NHS currently pays for rehabilitation.
The study, jointly led by Professor Rod Taylor and Dr Hasnain Dalal of the University of Exeter, was published today in the European Journal of Preventive Cardiology.
Dr Hasnain Dalal, of the University of Exeter and the Royal Cornwall Hospitals NHS Trust, said: “Although previous hospital-based studies have shown an improvement in quality of life and reduction in hospital admissions for patients receiving cardiac rehabilitation, heart failure patients often find it difficult to attend rehabilitation centres in hospitals.
“This tends to be due to lack of access to transport, poor mobility, and other health problems and can lead to isolation and depression.
Professor Colin Greaves of the University of Birmingham's School of Sport, Exercise and Rehabilitation who led the design team that developed the REACH-HF intervention, said: “The results of this study come at a very interesting time, when rehabilitation services are feeling stretched all around the UK.
“More resources are needed to expand cardiac rehabilitation services to allow access for all people with heart failure as well as all the other patients currently receiving cardiac rehabilitation.
“Recent estimates suggest that the UK needs an additional 210,000 cardiac rehab places each year to treat everyone who is eligible.

"The SaxMan" Wayne Sulc is our featured perfomer and co produced the cd. Writing two of the songs, and arranging 12 of them. Wayne drove this project from inception to completion. Bringing the experience of 3 prior cd projects and years on the stage with local legends, Wayne's compulsion to present his intention was what made this project happen. Here's a taste of his back ground.
Tommy Lepson, The man with the pipes!
Tommy has contributed his voluminous voice and powerful B3 sound to expand our horizons and open up our audience.
Here is a piece of his back ground.
Tommy has appeared on shows with everyone from Chuck Berry, The Righteous Brothers, James Brown, Fabulous Thunderbirds, The Kinks, to Captain Beafheart, Little Feat, NRBQ, and also at the White House three times. Tommy has recorded and or performed with Danny Gatton, Nils Lofgren (E Street Band), Jeff ”Skunk” Baxter (Doobie Bros., Steely Dan) Duke Robillard, Kim Wilson, Tom Principato, The Nighthawks , Root Boy Slim and The Assassins (Jimmy Thackery). He has received numerous Washington Area Music awards, and in 2006 was inducted into the Wama Hall of Fame.This year. An evening with The Tommy Lepson , either live or on disc, is a musical journey that will rock you, move you with emotion, tickle your funny bone and make you shake your tail feather. So come on out and hear the voice that Little Feat’s Shawn Murphy calls ”one of the best”.
A long detailed account. noting or pertaining to a long poetic composition, usually centered upon a hero, in which a series of great achievements or events is narrated in elevated style. A medieval Icelandic or Norse prose narrative of achievements and events in the history of a personage, family. A nonhistorical or unverifiable story handed down by tradition from earlier times and popularly accepted as historical. a person who, in the opinion of others, has heroic qualities or has performed a heroic act and is regarded as a model or ideal. A person noted for feats of courage or nobility of purpose, especially one who has risked or sacrificed his or her life: soldiers and nurses who were heroes in an unpopular war.
Steve Long, keyboardist with Urban Funk is a New England Conservatory trained musician who has also studied with the great big band leader, Bill Potts. Working in the Washington metropolitan area for the last 25 years, Steve has performed clubs, venues and stages with some of the most well known local bands and musicians. Composing in the funk fusion style, Steve penned many of Urban Funks tunes, and is the featured arranger on “Heroes And Legends”.
Bassist Mike Davis was raised outside of Chicago. His approach to bass was influenced initially by the gritty blues/rock oriented sounds of that area, which he brought out to Baltimore with him., Since relocating to Baltimore, Mike has been fortunate enough to play with some of the area’s best original-music bands, spanning the spectrum of metal, roots, R&B, and light jazz. Recording with these bands, Mike has appeared on more than a dozen releases, (Urban Funk, SaxMan & Friends, Naked Blue, Mutt, Common Bond, and others) some distributed internationally. Performances have featured numerous regional performances, tours of the entire East Coast and of Europe. These opportunities have included an opening spot for “Foreigner”, plus a featured spot on a national cable show. When not trying new approaches to music such as applying a fretless bass to metal music. Mike sometimes ventures out to sea to support ocean explorations conducted as part of his day gig.
Drummer Gary Crockett puts the FUNK into Urban Funk with a hard-hitting, deep groove honed, over many years of playing in a variety of musical situations. Grateful to work with a talented and diverse group of musicians such as this, he states "Making music with this group of players is a rare treat. I'm always looking forward to our shows."
Starting out on drums as a youngster in the Washington, DC suburb of Takoma Park, MD, and studying under the legendary and notorious DC jazz drummer Walter Salb, Gary had no idea what the life of a musician would entail. He began touring the southern US starting in the mid-70's through the mid 80's, soaking-up the laid-back culture and sweet, swampy sound of southern R&B, rock and soul, while playing and recording in Baton Rouge, Louisiana with the great Louisiana Music Hall of Fame, former Jackson Five and Mick Fleetwood's Zoo guitarist, Gregg Wright, through much of the 70's. Starting the early 1980's in Shreveport, LA, he moved on to become a founding member of Warner Brothers recording artists, Private Life, and become a short-term member of former Rod Stewart, Rick Derringer and Steppenwolf guitarist Danny Johnson's band, The Bandits. In that whirlwind of growth he shared stages with legends such as Bob Marley & the Wailers, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dr. John, Levon Helm, Eddie Van Halen, Chuck Berry, The Neville Brothers, Dickie Betts & Great Southern, Freddie King and many others!
Returning home to the Washington, DC area in 1984, and for nearly the last three decades, Gary has continued to be an in-demand live and recording drummer for many great musicians in the always vibrant DC concert and music club scene, while also performing for three US Presidents, twice at The White House! He has become involved in music production, producing CD's for singer/songwriter Marge Calhoun and guitarist Bobby Thompson, both featuring ex Gil-Scott Heron and current Warren Haynes (Allman Bros/Government Mule) sax player, Ron Holloway. Along with Urban Funk, he's currently found in venues with Urban Funk and WAMA award-winning vocalist and B3 organ whiz Tommy Lepson, legendary boogie-blues man Catfish Hodge, country artist Wil Gravatt, WAMA award-winning guitarist Dave Chappell, blues man Linwood Taylor and with Lepson and guitarist Thompson in a new rock-blues project, Blueheart Revival.
Currently calling Fredericksburg, VA home, Gary can be found up and down the US east-coast, bringing the beat to those in need of a soulful, "Urban Funk" infusion!
Dave Chappell, a Washington, DC native, is one of the most sought after and respected musicians in the area. For the last several years, he has won the Washington Area Music Awards(WAMMIES) for 'Musician of the Year', 'Rock Instrumentalist of the Year', and 'Roots Rock Instrumentalist of the Year'.
He has performed with Rock and Roll Hall of Fame legends Jerry Lee Lewis, Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, Percy Sledge, Johnny Johnson, and guitar wizard, Danny Gatton.
He can be heard frequently at area clubs such as JV's Restaurant, State Theater, the Birchmere, Bethesda Blues and Jazz, and Picadilly's Pub - performing with DC area favorites Tommy Lepson and Bruce Swaim. And from time to time, Johnny Neel from the Allman Brother's Band and Gov't Mule.
Calls Dave a "guitar whiz"... and in an article about the Washington Area Music Awards "The awards came so fast and furious for Chappell, he didn't even know he'd won five until somebody asked him if he was taking the rest of the year off to celebrate his haul."

My boy absolutely LOVES this goal. Solid/stable (even without being nailed to the ground) ball rebounds too which helps and the targets are great. In fact, we both love it. Although at the more expensive end of football goals for the Home, WELL worth the money!!!!

What is it? What does it mean to you? Why use it?
Cool question....It means for me that you can see thru their eyes...move as they do...temporarily become whatever, for whatever reason you shapeshifted into. I didn't exactly believe in it till it happed to me an let me tell ya....a birds vision is very different from ours an takes some getting used too!
if it hadn't of been for that fact I wouldn't of believed it was real.
Shape shifting brings wisdom to you from the life around you. In the chant below, it is the traditional progression through the ladder of the spirit. It can also progress through the charkas of the body.
To me, shapeshifting is about taking a moment outside of yourself, taking a break from your everyday life, being able to see through the eyes of our animal brothers and sisters. It gives us a whole new perspective of the world.
"The ancient shamanic practice of shape-shifting is essentially the bioenergetic practice of attuning the rhythm of one's own shape to the rhythm of something in the natural world so that we may share its consciousness. When we begin to discern the grand shape of things, we become one with the forest, the stream, the raven, the earth. This may sound far-fetched but even some scientists are beginning to articulate a paradigm of physics that mirrors the perennial vision of druidism and shamanism. Jean E. Charon, a french physicist, for instance, has this to say, 'An electron that was successively part of a tree, a human being, a tiger, and another human being will thus remember for all time the experiences it has collected during these different lives. The electron will maintain in itself all of its experiences as tree, as human being No. 1, as tiger, and as human being No. 2, to whos organism it belongs at certain times.'"
Hope that was helpful, and I highly recommend his book, he's a fantastic writer and teacher.
Thanks for the heads up on a author new to me....Looks great!
Yeah, I definately recommend checking him out. He wrote The Mist-Filled Path and just came out with a new one called The Spiral of Memory and Belonging. Also if you get a chance to take one of his workshops or anything, its a great opportunity to work with him in person.
I've never "shape-shifted" before. They don't talk about it in the Course. Not sure if I believe in it, really.
I had a great dream recently where I shape-shifted into a rabbit!! It was really funny! I was attending a Druid ritual in the woods in my shape-shifted form. I could see people in white clothing running through the woods laughing, dancing, playing music and building a fire. They had some dogs with them. I was enjoying being there with them and really was not aware at first that I had shape-shifted! The dogs left the group and came toward me. The lead dog stopped a few feet away and just stood there with his nose down, very quiet. I thought they might bark at first but they didn't. They seemed to recognize that I wasn't an ordinary rabbit!! The dog then whined briefly and lead the other dogs back to the Druid group. I was then aware that I had shape-shifted and saw the ground close-up -- that was the end of the dream. I think my "cover" was blown by the dogs!!! They somehow knew I wasn't a real rabbit!!
I'm not sure if I really want to share this, but oh well.
A squirrel? There are so many of them around...they must be very active sexually. You must have had a great time!
Azrienoch, besides the fact that was very funny because it is not a story one hears everyday, I would also think that it was a VERY powerful dream and a core example of shape-shifting.
In Taliesin's story he shapeshifts into numerous animals as a means of escape.
A story as a Bard, you might be familiar with.
I did have a chuckle about the squirrel Azrienoch. Though it seems a powerful experience, more so because it wasnt what you expect. and it could have been worse lol.
I started to shift shape as soon as I started to meditate regularly.
shifting is a very serious subject. night hawk, i assure you, i NEVER belived in it myself, until i starting working so closely with the differnt native tribes, and learned how they viewd it, and with each tribe it was culturally diffreent than another. then, i underwent a rather odd ceremony with a chief, being asked to eat certain meats he had just chewed for me. once i had done that, i noticed that shifting just came upon me at first. and i shifted into the forms of the animals i had eaten in that ceremony. i have gained more control over the whole event, and can now usually call upon the animal of need. sometimes, my body just WANTS to be something else, and i can feel like i am being pulled into a vortex, like going down a roller coater ride. i know i am about to shift, and i have to make a concious effort not to do it if the time is not appropriate. there are definite physical changes that go along with shifting. all the senses are affected. anyway, it is something i woill be addressing later in a new work i am producing.
This Frank MacEowen guy. I'm going to have to check him out. I picked up the Mist-filled path once but I did not buy it although it looked good. Have you been to one of his lectures?
I think dreaming is an excellent example of shape-shifting because a number of us have had this experience and who was to say the difference if it was real are not. In the dream you did not know the difference. Maybe this is because 'An electron that was successively part of a tree, a human being, a tiger, and another human being will thus remember for all time the experiences it has collected during these different lives. Who knows? I rarely care for explanations. I'm much more concerned with how it makes me feel internally.
A lot of books can tell you more history than Frank does, and a lot of them can tell you more of the particulars of tradition and practice. What Frank does in the Mist-Filled Path is capture the beauty and spirit of the Celtic traditions and at the same time 'orients you to your holy senses' as he puts it. Its quite a read. I was at a workshop of his last December called Reverend Heart, Radient Mind and it was really great. I'm also going with a small group he's leading on a pilgrimage around Ireland next fall. Check out his website if your interested in his work: http://www.solasdana.org.
Its interesting to note that for the most part our ancestors did not view dreaming in the same way we did. And why would they? They were awake, they lived, they communicated with an saol eile, the Otherworld. They went to sleep, and sometimes they dreamt- they lived out their lives even while the body was asleep. Celtic consciousness tends to see things as spiralling around, a dyanmic ebbing and flowing of different tides. If we look at the year we can see that fundamentally it was divided into two halves, giamos and samos; dark and light. If we look at some of the comments made about their view on death, "death is the center of long life", we see it once again in this idea that you live out your time here, and then when you die you continue living in the Otherworld. And the cycles go on and on, working in a spiral. So its easy to see with this logic how they may have viewed sleep and dreams. Each day we live our lives in the physical, and each night we live in the Otherworld. So not only does the day grow from darkness, and then die at sunset, but we go through the same cycle with it. Each day we grow from darkness as well, wake up, live our lives here, and then "die" when we go to sleep. I don't mean to suggest that they actually believed sleep was death, but rather that this was just another smaller cycle of rebirth within a larger one of the Celtic year when we along with the world are reborn at Samhain; within an even larger one of our very lives; living, dying, rebirth.
The only non-human shape I've ever consistly shifted into is wolf (I've told it before so I won't bore you with it here) but the liberation is tremendous... for me it's hard to say which is my true self at times because after the first time, it feels so natural and relaxing. To go through the woods and underbrush more surefootedly than my human form ever allows, the increased sense of smell and hearing, the lightness I feel in my paws to go skyclad yet not feel the lack of covering no matter what weather or time of year. It is what I would choose to return here as in another lifetime. I am very glad to be back online... I missed you bunch, missed the daily checking in and reading the posts. yeah... Wolfies baaack!

Baseball season is very nearly upon us. As part of your spring training for the 2013 season, you can download the At The Ballpark app for Android and iOS, which allows you to purchase seat upgrades from your phone. The app is a collaboration between MLB Advanced Media and Experience.
The At The Ballpark app will help you determine the best seat in the house by "identifying the most desirable seat and experience for each fan." Then you can process the payment for the seat you want. But that's not all. The app allows users to check in at their favorite ballpark, share their experience with their social networks, view interactive maps, redeem special offers and rewards and get directions and parking information. Plus, mobile food ordering is available at select ballparks.
At The Ballpark will initially be available in April for use at the ballparks that the Arizona Diamondbacks, Atlanta Braves, Minnesota Twins and Oakland Athletics call home. In fact, Braves fans got to beta test the app during the 2012 season.
"Our fans have shown a growing demand for mobile ticketing opportunities and this collaboration with Experience will help further meet those expectations with a scalable, fan-friendly solution to personalize their ballpark experiences right from their personal devices," said Noah Garden, executive vice president, revenue, MLBAM.
We can't wait for this functionality to come to Citi Field and Yankee Stadium so we can try it out for ourselves. The plan is to eventually roll the app out to all 30 major league parks.

Her feelings are a result of tough experiences combined with not enough support or understanding. Perhaps many of us can relate to my friend. We feel alone. We want to be “done,” whatever that means.
In times like these, it is important for us to hear that there is One who will never leave us. The Lord goes before us, along side us, and behind us. God does not forsake us.
May God’s constant presence and strength be with you on your journey. Remember, you have a God who goes before you, a Christ who does not forsake you, and the Holy Spirit who guides you and keeps you.

This three volume set on World War II German swords by LTC (Ret.) Thomas M. Johnson, a leading collector and authoritative researcher, is a follow-up to his successful and highly acclaimed four volume series on World War II German daggers by Schiffer Publishing (1995). Johnson is the author of some twenty-six reference books on the subject of German edged weaponry. This sword series has been designed to aid not only the beginning collector, but also the seasoned advanced collector and specialist. These volumes are the result of many years of arduous research conducted on both sides of the Atlantic, and are a scholarly study that is more than a perfunctory annotation and illustration of the known basis patterns. Also, the series is a study of a culture and the crafts that actually produced the blades, as well as being a manual in the art of collecting them. The embracing scope is both educational and recreational, and adds a whole new dimension to this popular collecting subject as a whole. Within these books one finds the historical background, the manufacturing techniques, constructional information, the actual basic patterns, variations and rarities, and a whole host of salient facts of absorbing interest.

If you need an idea for a holiday gift for the thriller-lover in your life, look no further!
Liza is a semi-successful author who is struggling on her follow up book to her first best selling novel. Her life is complex at the moment, between trying to get pregnant with her husband who is abnormally distant due to his law partner vanishing, Liza is struggling. When her life starts to reflect what she writes in her novel, her world becomes even more blurry than before.
Lies She Told is 278 pages long and took me three days to read.
I am giving this book a 3.5 out of 5. I really enjoyed reading this story because there are multiple, similar stories being told. Cate Holahan does a great job with keeping the lines blurry on the narrators point of view.
Thank you Crooked Lane Books for sending me a copy!

The government has revoked Robert Penner's work visa and given him two days to leave.
Nepal has revoked the visa of a Canadian citizen who was working in Kathmandu and asked him to leave the country, a day after he was detained for “spreading discord through provocative tweets,” according to Nepali immigration officials.
Robert Penner, 37, who has lived in Nepal for four years, was arrested on Monday by police officers with instructions from the Department of Immigration. Penner worked as the “principal scientist” for CloudFactory, an online technology company based in the city of Lalitpur, just outside Kathmandu. He was working legally under a work visa.
“This is the first case of this kind of arbitrary detention and decision to deport a foreign national for engaging in a conversation about Nepal’s politics,” Dipendra Jha, a lawyer at the Supreme Court in Kathmandu who is representing Penner, told BuzzFeed News.
Immigration officials said that Penner had also violated immigration rules by working for CloudFactory, while he had obtained a visa to work for Sprout Technology. However, Penner never changed companies — Sprout Technology is the Nepal subsidiary of CloudFactory, the international company.
Penner had been active on Twitter and Facebook over the last year, writing about Nepal’s new constitution and the Indian blockade that followed it. Nepal’s constitution, which was passed in September 2015, has been controversial since the Madhesis, an ethnic group in the southern plains, started protests demanding equal rights. Many Nepalis say the constitution also discriminated against women. In October, Human Rights Watch released a report that was critical of the government’s handling of the protests — but was condemned by some Nepalis as biased.
Penner, who can speak and write in Nepali, regularly responded to and engaged with critics, often in a stream of tweets or detailed posts that upset some Nepalis. Many disliked Penner’s comments on Nepal’s politics and called his approach combative, while others admired him for doing what many Nepalis did not.
In April, a handful of anonymous Twitter accounts sent a message to HelloSarkar ("Hello Government"), a Twitter handle set up by Nepal’s government to receive complaints and grievances, asking that it investigate Penner for violating immigration rules and “doing politics” in Nepal. The government responded by starting an investigation against Penner that is believed to have ultimately resulted in his arrest on Monday.
"Can a foreign national live in Nepal and intervene openly in its internal affairs? Look at his tweets."
"We have sent Ref. No. 30983 for action to the Ministry of Home."
Nepal’s law restricts foreign nationals from taking part in politics and has provisions to deport anyone the government thinks threatens national security or creates public disorder. In an interview with BuzzFeed News, Kedar Neupane, the director general of the Department of Immigration, said officials deemed Penner's participation on social platforms threatening and that the law gave them authority to deport him.
Neupane said Penner was not being deported but that the government is seeking a “voluntary departure” within two days. Jha, Penner’s lawyer, said the Canadian's team would appeal the decision on Wednesday.
