Some have found that the Intensives allowed them to go much deeper and more effectively into schemas and modes than typical weekly venues. Simeone-DiFrancesco states that the Intensive helps to bypass Detached-Protector Modes that keep persons avoidant and distracted. This may allow a couple to connect at an open and positive level. Another strong potential advantage is that everyone stays "on-track" without continuity issues or time wasted "catching up" between sessions. In an Intensive, the therapist sets the agenda and "directs the ship". There is a formulated approach based on the couple's goals and their assessment results. This also takes pressure off the clients, and allows them to just soak in the experience, cooperate with each other and learn new tools. The Intensive may offer an opportunity for a couple to develop a new positive "Ground Zero Baseline". This new experience may help promote courage and the warm soft feelings that are not so hard to remember and get back to when they struggle.
Fee dependent on number of hours. Hotel stay recommended though not required; fee is excluding lodging/meals.
Intensive Includes 3.5 hours of assessment.
Locations: Oshkosh, Wisconsin & Virginia (plus added therapist travel/lodging expense for Virginia).
San Damiano Retreat Center, near Front Royal and the beautiful Skyline Drive; and the Shalom House, near Richmond. The VA retreat locations are all inclusive, offering meals & lodging; with the Office location you use your own residence or a hotel of your choice for lodging.
2-Day Less Intensive Options also available in both WI and VA. Call for adjustable hours & correspondant pricing.

Your Top 6 Questions about Gluten Free and Celiac Disease Answered!
Tune in to hear what I have to say!
You can subscribe to my podcast from your iTunes player to make sure you don’t miss an episode.
1. Do I really need to replace all my items?
2. Do I really need gluten-free beauty products?
3. What do I do when I find myself craving gluten filled foods?
4. How do I deal/cope with the frustrations of celiac disease?
5. Are those digestive enzymes like GlutenCutter safe for me?
6. How do I take control of my weight after going gluten-free?
Should You Take Digestive Enzymes for Gluten?
I am frequently asked about gluten enzyme supplements and I just wanted to give you my opinion on them.
These so-called enzymes do NOT give you the green light to eat gluten if you have celiac disease. They are not a cure for celiac! There is a false belief out there that it is acceptable to take these pills with a piece of cake and you will be fine. It’s not that simple. There is NO PROOF or medical research showing that these enzymes work. Why? Because they are not FDA approved and the companies can make whatever claims they want about their products except saying it cures and treats disease.
Do they really? How do you know what they are doing to your intestines and body chemistry? How do you know they aren’t causing internal problems?
I seriously doubt an over the counter supplement that’s $18 from WalMart is the latest and greatest treatment or medication for celiac disease.
There sure seems to be a lot of people saying they “aren’t getting better” or “still feeling sick.” A part of me can’t help but think some of that is due to the false sense of security from taking these medications.
While these “gluten enzymes” may break down some particles of gluten, there is no way for sure to know if they are gone and not causing damage to your body. Why take that risk? Save your money and buy some supplements your body can use effectively and will help you with healing and digestion!!
The ONLY way to manage celiac disease is with a strict, dedicated gluten-free diet. It makes me a little sad when I hear people say they wish they could just take a pill because your body is clearly telling you it doesn’t want gluten and clearly rejects it. We are the only people who can manage their chronic disease with food and in a natural way which should be a blessing to all of us!
Now, there is a company that filed for patents for enzyme use in medication to treat celiac disease. Alvine Pharma is working towards finding medication for all of us suffering from this disease. They are in phase II of clinical trials but nothing has been approved yet.
ImmusanT is a potential vaccine for celiac disease which is showing promise. They are still in the early stages but it is promising to know that there are things in the works for us!

Have you been poisoned and are looking for help on healing faster? Check out my post with 20 tips and ideas for gluten poisoning recovery!
Ask Rebecca: How do I convince my family to get tested for celiac disease?
This begins my new Monday segment of Ask Rebecca! I will pick one question per week from the Facebook page, messages and email and answer it to the best of my ability! Today’s question comes from Facebook – Judy Grover!!
“How do I convince my family to get tested for celiac disease?
Become as educated as you can be on the disease to explain the importance of getting tested. Without being able to explain the importance and why you think they need to be tested, it’s going to be a struggle to get them to do it.
Remember that not everyone has it in your family just because you do! We are quick to assume everyone has it or should get tested for it because we are diagnosed, when that’s not always the case.
Keep your family updated on your own medical journey. Don’t be overbearing about it or make constant digs because it’s likely to backfire.
Don’t forget that as adults, we have the right to get our own testing done. It’s our own health and bodies and we should do what we feel is right for ourselves and not anyone else. Haven’t you ever had someone tell you to get tested for this or that when you were struggling with your symptoms? Sometimes the shoe fit and you asked your doctor, but other times you felt you didn’t have the symptoms so it wasn’t worth getting tested. We should respect our family’s rights to do what they see fit with their bodies. We can’t control how or what they do! The only thing we can be sure of is that we are treating ourselves the way we believe is happy and healthy.
Did you successfully get your family to get tested? Please leave your story below!
This week I address celiac disease and fitness with my podcast – On The Air with Pretty Little Celiac.
I talk about motivation tips, how to get started and discuss the importance of moving when suffering from a chronic auto-immune disease!
Don’t forget you can subscribe on iTunes so you never miss a podcast.
I can honestly say this is the best week of my life.
I’ve dedicated the last 8 months to Pretty Little Celiac and Bexa Body Fitness and all of those accomplishments were showcased this week. First with the Columbus Business First Forty under 40 award and now with the COVER of The Buckeye Journal.
This magazine circulates to thousands of central Ohio residents who will read about celiac disease and hopefully this will bring awareness and education to all that take the time to read it! My vision for the article is that everyone who picks up a copy will understand the struggles we go through and maybe even could help someone get diagnosed. There are people I will reach and I won’t even know it but that’s okay because I know in my heart I helped. If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, or maybe you just stopped by today – you should know I’m a type-A, overachiever who loves helping other people. It makes my day when I get emails, messages, comments and more letting me know how much our stories are alike or that I helped you through a difficult time. You have no idea how much it personally affects me!
I have the most amazing things planned for Pretty Little Celiac until the end of 2013. I know we are ending celiac awareness month but it’s my goal to make every month dedicated to celiac awareness. My projects are going to help so many people, that I just can’t wait to get them done and share them with the world. I hope you can sense my excitement for this blog because I think I might jump out of my chair.
Thanks for reading – Stay tuned for what’s to come!

and his false, uncaring "act"
(just kidding guys, at least people got to read this--just don't ever copy from me again!
Read the ORIGINAL here - always at DAF!
"Hugh McElhenny was to pro football in the 1950s and early 1960s what Elvis Presley was to rock and roll. Known as “The King” (McElhenny that is), he had it all. He was an artist whose electrifying moves left opponents and observers spellbound.
inducted into the Hall of Fame in 1970.
publicity with the retired players.
Willie Wood and Herb Adderly are getting very little pension benefits.
I understand you want to reopen the players collective bargaining agreement.
woud give players like Wood and Adderly $8,400 per year.
I will anxiously be waiting for your reply.
If the Commissioner will not answer the Great Hugh McElhenney, who will he answer...no one unless it is one of the NFL/NFLPA sycophants on their payroll of some type. You will see who these people are at the January 14 meeting/PR function in Newport Beach.
I believe there is only one way to get their attention and that is through pressure from the US Congress in evaluation of their Anti Trust Exemption. We need to start a movement to contact our individual Congressmen and Senators State by State. As of now, they have the rights to act like the old "mob" such as "we'll operate the way we want and you have no rights to see how that is"...lack of transparency status. These meetings, such as the Wednesday meeting at the Newport Hall of Fame, are PR tactics to show how they care...Roger Goodell does not even respond to one of the Greatest! How much is he making because of what Hugh, and his generation, accomplished? I'll guarantee you that Roger and his staff never took the ball off tackle, but they are remunerated greatly by those that did and now are forgotten.
If you care to, I have written my historical recount of how we of the "older retirees" evolved into this situation. It's rather long, but you might find it interesting...from my personal perspective. It is on the www.therpaa.com under Letter by Jon Arnett - Founder.

European officials warned the White House in recent days that Iran might walk from its nuclear deal with world powers unless President Donald Trump extends sanctions waivers on nuclear cooperation, sources familiar with the talks told McClatchy this week.
Those sanctions, if allowed to go into effect, would target a central tenet of the 2015 agreement that allows Tehran to continue certain nuclear-related activities at publicly declared sites, in limited quantities and under international supervision.
A senior administration official described “tense” meetings at the White House with European Union, French and British diplomats, who expressed alarm over the potential for renewed U.S. nuclear sanctions after waivers expire on May 4.
The sanctions would target entities working with Iran on nuclear-related projects and thus expose every nation still party to the deal – Russia, China, Britain, France, Germany and the E.U. – to a new round of U.S. penalties, complicating their ability to uphold basic commitments under the agreement.

The Silver Eagle Cross Country radio series once again captured George Jones & The Jones Boys when they performed the firsts of two shows in Owensboro, KY, in 1987. Opening with his classic "No Show Jones," he rips through a set of hits, traditional country standards, and some newer material, among them "Once You've Had The Best," "Race Is On," "Who's Gonna Chop My Baby's Kindlin'?," "I've Always Been Lucky With You," and "The One I Loved Back Then." A poignant moment comes when Jones does "Who's Gonna Fill Their Shoes," a beautiful ballad that pays tribute to the great country music stars of that time, such as Willie Nelson, Johnny Cash, and Waylon Jennings.
Early in the show, he does a moving rendition of "Bartender's Blues," a country ballad written for him by one his biggest fans, James Taylor. He takes time to sing "Happy Birthday, Edwina," to the mother of a waitress at the venue, before closing with his greatest song, "He Stopped Loving Her Today."
Nobody sings songs about heartache and regret like George Jones does. He has endured a tumultuous career, recurring bouts with alcoholism, and a nasty public divorce to his former partner and ex-wife, the late Tammy Wynette. Still, Jones has been able to get back on his feet and move on. Jones' career in country music dates back to 1949, when he backed the legendary Hank Williams on rhythm guitar for a sole radio broadcast. Jones, who was working at the station at the time, was so awestruck by Williams and his legacy that he later claimed he didn't play a single correct note the entire show.
By the late 1950s, he was making his own records, and when he married his third wife, singer/songwriter Tammy Wynette, in 1969, the duo became the country music's king and queen. But under the glamour, the center was crumbling. Jones had already been a closet alcoholic when he married Wynette, and during their five year marriage, it only got worse. Among the many legendary stories of Jones' alcohol and drug abuse is a classic story of his second wife's attempt to keep him from getting to the closest liquor store which was eight miles away from his Franklin, Tennessee home. She took all the keys to their cars and trucks, but forgot about their rider mower. Jones, determined to have a drink, rode the mower 90 minutes to liquor store and immediately bought a case of bourbon. He missed so many performances during his "lost weekend" period that the country music industry gave him the moniker, "No Show Jones."
As a country artist, he ranks as the most charted singer/songwriter ever, with 167 charting songs. He has had the most Top 40 country hits (143) and only Eddy Arnold has had more Top 10 hits (Jones has had 78). Superstars from Johnny Cash to Frank Sinatra have called him the greatest country singer.
Jones has been clean and sober since the '80s, and today he continues to record, perform, and collaborate with artists as diverse as Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones and Elvis Costello (both massive fans). 2008 marks Jones' 53rd year in country music, and his 39th year at the Grand Ole Opry.

Ask Levi: How Much Mileage Do I Need Before a Century?
The answer is always the same: It depends.
You might see quite a few “10 weeks to the perfect century” plans in the pages of bicycling magazines, but that’s really just giving you a starting point. Unfortunately, there’s no set formula that works for everyone, all the time.
On the other hand, if you can complete 50 or 60 miles, but you fall over gasping when you finish, you might not be ready for a century.
Scaling back, let’s say you’re doing a few 10-12 mile rides each week. It’s entirely possible you can do a 25-40 mile ride next weekend.
Continuing that thought, no one knows your body better than you do. If you feel like you are ready for a big ride, you probably are. If you feel weak while riding and are scared at the prospect of a slightly longer ride, you might want to take some more time to build up your fitness.
The only way to know if you’re ready is to do it and see how it goes!
60 mile rides in Florida aren’t the best way to prepare for a 100 miler in Vermont.
Along the same lines, a 60 mile ride at sea level is way different than something in Colorado at high elevation.
Remember to pace yourself. If you enter a race or something where the distance is a little long, don’t start too fast, even if everyone else does.
A good rule of thumb is to do the first half of the ride at a slightly easier pace than you can handle. That way, you have energy saved for the second half. And if you have enough energy, you can ride the second half faster and get a good finishing time.
Remember that if you’ll be riding longer than usual, you will probably take in more food and water than usual. And you want to space that out, so don’t wait until after 60 miles to start fueling.
Follow those tips and listen to your body and you’ll know whether you can take on that big ride!

Richard Perry turns 75 today out in L.A. Happy Birthday! Perry is regarded as the most successful record producer of the 1970s and 80s, with plenty before and after.
Among Richard’s hit records: nearly all the hits by Carly Simon, Harry Nilsson, Ringo Starr, and the Pointer Sisters. He revived Rod Stewart’s career with the Songbook albums, produced Barbra Streisand’s only rock hit– “Stoney End,” worked with legends like Fats Domino.
In 1971, it was Richard who organized the Beatles’ “reunion,” bringing John, Paul, and George onto the “Ringo” album– the album with smash hits “Photograph” and “Oh My My.” John Lennon wrote Ringo’s “I’m the Greatest,” which you can hear on Sirius XM’s Beatles channel almost constantly. Richard also persuaded Paul and Linda McCartney to record with Carly Simon and James Taylor. He also got Mick Jagger to do the famous backing vocals on “You’re So Vain,” which was a coup.
Perry has always been one of the most popular guys in Hollywood. He dated Cher and Tina Turner. He and Jane Fonda have been significant others for the last 7 years, living together for most of that time.
Maybe you noticed– Richard and Paul McCartney share the exact same birthday. So this was all meant to be.

The teacher for the course was great. She explained everything very clearly. She also explained what is coming next. Learned a lot. Reading materials were overwhelming.
The instructor is not audible enough.
This provided a great overview of the survey design course.
This was fast and comprehensive. I had trouble getting through the length of some of the readings, but there were all relevant. I love the combination of short videos, outlines, readings and quizzes. This definitely was more than just a certification. I have increased my confidence in meetings on this topic and my mastery in my field.
Maybe worth re-tooling that quiz, as the rest of the class was quite good.
Overall this was a fine introduction. I would have liked a more rigorous approach to introducing and defining concepts. The last course on examples of surveys was pretty weak - with more work the instructor could have better linked the examples to concepts we had previously learned. Instead she just did a rote report out of the purpose, design, and potential issues. The slides had all the information she was going to share, she didn't add much value with her speaking.
This course is valuable to learn how to perform data collection, analysis and surveys. The topics are good. The contents can be revised again to easily understand.
This module provides an excellent framework and introduction to the subject.

I began blogging eight years ago, this very month. My original purpose was to practice writing. My ultimate goal was a book about the years we lived in Alaska.
I also wanted to be an encouraging presence… to share my love for God, family, country and maybe even generate a laugh now and then. Pretty light stuff.
A few months after my “launch” into the writing life (I’m making myself laugh now), I left my paying job and took on full-time care of an aging parent suffering from dementia. Three years after that I took on two more aging parents, one with dementia and one with physical disabilities. My 92-year-old mom still lives with us today.
That one choice in 2011, turned my world upside down in ways I’d never imagined… difficult, good, lonely, perplexing ways.
So much for writing the light stuff.
And I didn’t want to write about the hard stuff.
So, after a lot of inconsistent writing… I stopped writing any stuff.
Earlier this week I was notified the renewal for my domain name was due and I considered closing the blog. No sense paying for something I don’t use. Then I turned on the evening news.
It was a shock to hear the governor of California had overridden the will of the people and placed a moratorium on the state’s death penalty.
“She’ll get no justice at all”, was all I could mumble to myself.
My cousin was murdered in 1990. She was one of six women killed by one man over a period of several months. He was caught, convicted beyond doubt and sentenced to death in 1993. And all these years later he still sits in prison… eating, sleeping, doing whatever they do there, being supported by the very tax dollars of the people he harmed. And now, apparently, not fearing for his life.
My cousin lays in a grave.
You may be thinking this post is about the death penalty. Only a little. While I believe it’s a just punishment in cases I’m familiar with, the topic is complicated and worthy of discussion.
What really drives me here today, is the alarm it raises that one arrogant man can dismiss the voters he was elected to SERVE. He has a built in platform that gives him a great voice. Politicians and wealthy celebrities should not have a corner on being heard.
In the day to day of everyday life, the average American doesn’t have much chance of being heard. Simply casting a vote doesn’t do much anymore. And some of us don’t even do that.
Our culture has shifted greatly the last few years. We talk about it at family gatherings. I talk about it with friends and at Bible study. But that’s where it typically ends.
It’s the law of the land.
I have heard and said those very words. Plus, if I speak up or align myself with a group trying to make a difference, there’s that fear of offending someone I love… yep, that’s my go-to excuse which typically sends me running for a handful of cookies instead of sitting at the computer to write.
Obviously, my aunt was devastated by her daughter’s murder. I can’t imagine the depth of that pain. But in spite of that pain, and the multiple sclerosis that controlled her body, she made trip after trip to southern California for meetings, for the trial, for the sentencing. She listened to horrific testimony. She saw the gruesome pictures. She fought for justice. She didn’t give up.
She struggled to overcome that blow for the rest of her life. One day at a time, she made the choice to live and love her family, friends, and community well. She found meaningful volunteer work at the local hospital. And she continued to speak out.
From the need for a new stop light to a hot button political debate, you could count on her prolific letter writing skills.
“Who are you writing to now”?, I would tease … and she would pull out a photocopy of her latest offering. There were letters to the governor, the newspaper editor, her state representative, the local councilman, the mayor. Often there were answers. And sometimes even phone calls exchanged. You can bet they knew her name.
Did any of that make a difference? I can’t know for sure. But I know it made a difference to her. And it made a difference to the ones watching her life.
It’s not convenient. Because the next step is follow through, or else there is no point.
It’s risky. Especially if your values are conservative because you can count on those flaming arrows of criticism.
It’s dangerous NOT to speak. Because change will come and you won’t have had a say.
My initial “hearts and flowers and all things lovely” goal for this writing space was not practical. I don’t know about you, but my life doesn’t fit in a nice, neat package. Societal issues press in. Family life is messy. My faith walk has been filled with difficult spaces and hard questions. And God has been good enough and gracious enough to love me through it all. I now know it’s okay to write about those hard things here. I plan to speak (and hopefully act) for what is on my heart. I hope you will too. Even if we don’t agree.
I love the parable Jesus told of the Persistent Widow in Luke 18:1 thru 8 – – her constant pleas to the judge for justice eventually wore him down. I want to be like her! Well, minus the widow part.
Good and bad, dark and light – it’s all part of everyday. This space can tolerate a few words on the “dark side” now and then.
Oh my Brooke. I could have written the first part of this as I toss and turn the idea of my blog in my mind – payment due is coming. Grieving caught me by surprise the other year and stole my words. Yours are perhaps the words I needed today to make a good decision. To really think about my purpose in writing. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Yes, the grief process is not easy and so different for everyone. Sounds like you’re coming out the other side. thanks for sharing your words today, Elaine.
I hope this means you’ve renewed your domain name and will continue writing.
I’m sorry about your cousin and certainly can relate to frustration and disappointment.
Flowers or not, I’ll look forward to your next post.
Hi Natalie! Yes, my domain name will be renewed. 🙂 Thank you for encouraging me.
Thanks for your encouraging words, Carol. Actually, your blog was one of the first I followed and I think it was 2011. You wrote a blog about your recipe books and I loved it! You’re right – – we never know what a difference our words may make.
Hugs for you and Mom!
Hugs for you and Mom! Welcome back! I missed reading your blogs!
Hey Brooke, Scary, and brave! Things do seem to be on an accelerating slide. I’ll be a consistent reader. Stay courageous!
I am glad to hear from you, Maureen! It had been so long since I’d written a post and then was having “poster’s remorse”. 🙂 Appreciate your encouragement. So many things happening so fast in this world. I want to give hope, yet I keep feeling the need to say, “hey, wait a minute! we need to stop and think about what’s happening here” – – well, we shall see what happens.

Aio and Cricket have targeted different types of customers, which is creating some work in AT&T brainstorming sessions.
Aio Wireless says customers that move to the Cricket brand under the AT&T umbrella won’t have to change their devices or their phone numbers.
The same week that T-Mobile USA’s chief financial officer called a potential Sprint-T-Mo merger "the logical ultimate combination," a Sprint exec hinted at the same on Thursday.
Will AT&T be a house divided by its Aio Wireless and soon-to-be Leap-Cricket brands?
Now that it’s getting a cash infusion from Japan’s SoftBank, Sprint is M&A hungry. Might Leap’s spectrum be too appealing to pass up now that the company’s acquiring U.S. Cellular customers in the Midwest?
A handful of network service providers in the U.S. are comfortable with gear from China-based Huawei after a warning from Congress about buying telecommunications equipment from Chinese suppliers.
Sprint managed to beat the industry average while AT&T was below it.

APPROACHING from the leafy boulevard sitting below the Park View this is a pub that immediately looks imposing and impressive.
By the time you get round to the front door it’s quickly apparent this drinking establishment exists on many levels.
In fact, having investigated the building fully from top to toe I’d like to put this one forward as a leading contender for the Brighton pub with the most steps.
The barman in the Donald Duck T-shirt, I presume Mickey was in the wash, was very efficient and knowledgeable – what’s more he was happy to share his opinions, particularly bemoaning the fact the pub only has terrestrial telly and doesn’t show major sporting events.
PubSpy’s number one fan was accompanying me this particularly fine summer’s eve and he chose to start with a pint of Camden Hells lager, at £4.70, which slipped down a treat – though he did declare it quite a sweet tasting brew.
I too started on the lighter side and chose a pale ale called Mad Goose, at 4.2 per cent, which suited my mood and was easy drinking for a warm evening with a zesty citrus aftertaste – it’s almost like a blond beer.
As I say seating is available all over the place and we chose one of the slightly lower outdoor levels, perfect for the final rays of sunlight.
For those of you with a green-fingered bent there was a delightful looking lavender plant on the table with white flowers, I thought they were supposed to be purple?
It was then suggested this particular vegetation was likely to make me sleepy, so I pushed it aside as I was keen to stay awake for pint number two.
Slipping back into the bar, and having sampled some other choices, I decided we should both try a Proper Job.
This is a 4.5 per cent pale ale from the St Austell Brewery which, at first glance, makes you look as if you’re drinking your own urine. With two pints in my hand the double-denim guy with long flowing grey hair, sat at the table inside the door, accused me of stereo drinking – something he says he’s a strong believer in.
Back in the open air and re-seated on my Rattan-style chair on the industrial-looking decking I realised this was a great choice.
There’s something of the totally tropical about this one, a bit like Lilt, sure, it’s a bit cloudy but the lovely deep taste of lemon and grapefruit powers through and it’s a great pint.
Generally, this seems to be an outside pub with seating on at least four separate levels. And, for once the gents is on the same level as the pub, it’s the ladies who are forced downstairs to powder their noses – quite right too.
Although, with the clear glazed window in the gents I noticed you could still wave to those outside whilst in full flow. Beautifully perfumed and decorated in dark green and white tiles, I chose to stop waving and leave my calling card.
Though, on the subject of being overlooked, the lofty position of the pub means at one point the passengers on the top deck of the Brighton & Hove Buses Route 5 are able to share a smile with those drinking outside.
Whilst there are lovely touches, like the fresh flowers carefully arranged in old gin and vodka bottles and the many strings of lights carefully arranged for when it gets dark, but this isn’t a pretentious place and clearly caters for everyone.
I appear to be attracting scaffolders these days and the guys from Brighton & Hove Scaffolding were on top form.
By now it wasn’t quite as warm, and I was beginning to feel a little more adventurous, so I selected Transmission from North Brewing Company. But, at 6.9 per cent I was informed this pale ale could only be served in a two-thirds of a pint measure (£4.15). This seemed strange as the Old Rosie cider was 7.3 per cent and plenty of pints of that were being sold.
I assume it was called transmission as it looks a little like it might have come out of a sump, at the very least it looks like cooking oil. However, this is where the similarity ends as this had a lovely caramel taste and, whilst incredibly thick, was nevertheless a fine beverage.
Back at my table we’d be joined by another group of fellows who just finished a hard day’s graft and were more than ready to refresh themselves and put the world to rights.
Don’t you think there’s something so much more endearing about someone foreign swearing in English, as opposed to someone from these shores? They put more emphasis on the important words.
The Park View has certainly got its quirks and once you’ve walked around a few times you’re likely to be fitter than went you went in, but it’s a charming stop off on a warm evening and I’d recommend it on many different levels.

Clipping – what is it, and what does it sound like ?
Yes, even harmonics are the 2nd, 4th, 6th, etc harmonics and sound more natural.
But odd harmonics are still mathematically related to the fundamental, as opposed to what Joe said. They are the 3rd, 5th, 7th harmonics, etc.
One rarely comes without the other in the real world. Tape for example, is known to create more odd harmonics, and still sound good to our ears.
I think even-dominated harmonics can be louder without sounding unnatural, compared to the odd ones that we can hear more, that’s why we ‘like’ better even harmonics.
But the ugly and harsh harmonics that clipping does are much higher. More clipping, more harmonics, and harmonics much higher comes up. They sound inharmonic for us, out of tune because they are less related to an actual note in the equal temperament of western music. 11th, 12th, 13th and higher sound ugly and harsh. They are still mathematically related though, not random noise yet! Juste out of tune, out of the equal temperament, not musical.
Cheers, thanks for this podcast!
And as always an insightful podcast!
The following is my personal opinion about why clipping, and other procedures are being used more in mastering. I sincerely hope that I do not cause offence to anyone.
I think the music industry is suffering from PTSD due to the loudness wars, speed rate of new technology and software advances, and the uncertainty of where we are heading musically. The result being dissasociative behaviour in recording, mixing and mastering, and the overlapping of these three.
Even taking into consideration a difference between USA, British and European techniques, we seem to be moving further into unmusical sounds. Clipping et al are an example of a falsehood and I believe misuse of DAW by users who have no idea of the difference between a mix or the master, and some misguided professionals.
Without jumping into a huge rabbit hole, artistic license in mastering can hardly justify sonic destruction. Surely that is what all the electronic wave based plugins are about, e.g., soft-synths, decimator effects et al, used at the recording/mixing stage.
That’s not to say that artistry should not be used in mastering, but that we should question whether the integrity of the mix suffers if we go too far.
Historically we are at an evolutionary point, where artists have more at their disposal than ever before, and we are seeing more people recording and mixing in home studios. I believe that home recording will become so finely tuned that mastering will either be unnecessary or require little work. The likelihood of mastering being done in a home studio by the artist is a huge possibility.
We have to start building acceptable guidelines now, or we may end up with chaotic consequences where anything goes.
Thank you for the podcasts. I hope these will become the principles for anyone interested in creating music in a home studio, whether recording, mixing, or mastering.
It seems that this show veered into mixing territory somewhat. Not that that’s a problem however, I enjoyed the discussion. I have avoided intentional clipping altogether, probably on idealogical grounds more than anything. Everytime I have experimented with it it just sounds ugly to me. I can hear it in other peoples work (either in mixing or mastering) and I think it’s a legitimate colour but not one I would choose, at least at the mastering stage.
Having said all that, implied in the discussion was that the clipper would typically be before the limiter, to avoid pumping.Would there be a case for using them in the opposite order?
I am a saturation geek and I don’t agree with many things you are discussing in this episode.
Although Hard Clipping creates very obvious high overtones, there’s nothing unnatural about them. These are simply ODD harmonics, like tape but brighter. Or like a squarewave of a synth. If you hard clip a sine wave, you get a square wave. Some synth are able to create this polyphonically like Reason’s Thor synth. This way you can shape a sine into a square using hard clipping. And that sounds just like any other square wave.
When using Hard Clipping you can also apply some LP EQ to remove the harsh top end. That in fact should give you soft clipping. So it’s all very much related, soft, hard, recitify, unipulse, bipulse, all sorts of clipping. It will generated either EVEN or ODD harmonics or a mix between the two. Just basis overtones I would say.
In my opinion EVEN is not sounding better or more musical than UNEVEN/ODD. It’s like saying a 5th sounds worse than an octave. UNEVEN can create that lovely tape sound for example. And most of the time a mixture of ODDS and UNEVENS sounds best.
3 octaves. Not very funky right?
Btw do you notice the musical tones which ODD and EVEN harmonics actually are?
Guitar amps for example create both ODD and EVEN harmonics. It is a total myth to say EVEN is musical and ODD is unmusical. Just try it yourself. I have done many experiments with overtones. ODD and EVEN are simply different sounding overtones, but neither of them sound bad or unmusical. That’s a total myth. It’s all 12 tone stuff. Music with very basic calculations.
You say in the show that hard clipping removes some of the low frequencies. That should never happen! Hard and soft clipping in fact is generating, adding, overtones and are not killing any root/fundamentals. That can happen only when using Unipulse or Recity on extreme settings. But with hard/soft clipping it’s 100% ODD harmonics leaving the root/fundamental in tact. What you are hearing is simply the added midrange ODD harmonics which become very loud when clipped. Our ears are focussed on the midrange, so that’s what you’re hearing, your ears are fooling you. No bass frequencies are killed or suppressed by clipping, it’s just the added midrange which makes you believe so.

Tritone creates a toned image from the source image’s luma channel or any of its RGB channels. The Input Channel maps to a color range that goes from the Black Color to the Middle Color to the White Color. The default Tritone uses the source’s luma channel as the Input Channel to produce an image that is black where the source is black, white where the source is white, and blue-toned in the gray regions.
Black Color is the output color for pixels whose Input Channel value is 0.
Midpoint Color is the output color for pixels whose Input Channel value is equal to the Midpoint value.
When the Use Midpoint Color checkbox is selected, the Midpoint Color is used, creating a tritone effect. When this option is deselected, a tint is created.
White Color is the output color for pixels whose Input Channel value is 255.
Midpoint is the Input Channel value for which the chosen Middle Color is output. The output color for pixels whose Input Channel value is less than Midpoint value is between the Black and Midpoint Colors. The output color for pixels whose Input Channel value is greater than Midpoint value is between the Midpoint and White Colors.
The Input Channel menu determines which channel is used as the source for the toned image. The choices are Luma, Red, Green, Blue, Luma Inverse, Red Inverse, Green Inverse and Blue Inverse.
The Output Channels menu sets the channels in the image that are processed by the ﬁlter. Use RGB for a normal toning effect, or experiment with other settings for more extreme color effects. The choices are RGB, Red, Green, Blue, Red and Green, Red and Blue, Green and Blue, Difference, and Alpha. Difference uses the difference between each ﬁltered channel and the corresponding source channel.
Repeats changes the mapping from input to output. You can use Loops to create effects that combine toning with a solarized look.
The default Repeats value of 10 produces a normal toned image: black pixels are output as the Black Color, Midpoint pixels as the Middle Color, and white pixels as the White Color. Increasing the Repeats value causes the map to repeat. The output color for black input pixels is still the Black Color, but the color reaches white faster and then repeats. Increase this value to 20 to produce a solarized and toned effect, and increase it further to produce more extreme effects. Decrease it to fade the output toward the Black Color.
The Repeat Mode menu controls the type of map loop. Back and Forth causes the map to go from black to white to black to white. Jump causes the map to go from black to white and jump back to black. Jump almost always produces a very chaotic image.

Tinder for Roommates: Can RentHoop Help You Find True (Roommate) Love? | Fresh UA new app mimics Tinder's format to streamline the process of finding a roommate.
Swipe right for the roommate of your dreamsLaunched this spring by Paul Burke, a graduate of Western Washington University, the app aims to take the guesswork and tediousness out of the roommate-finding process by using the swipe model. Swipe right on potential roommates if you think they'd be a good fit, and swipe left if you'd rather pass.
Redmond man invents app dubbed 'Tinder for roommates'A new app is gaining popularity to help people find roommates. It's called RentHoop or as the creator calls it 'Tinder for roommates.' Paul Burke, a 2014 graduate of Western Washington University, came up with the idea in his mom's house in Redmond. He then teamed up with programmers to create the app.
Meet the 24-Year-Old Who Invented the Tinder of RoommatesFrom a young age, Paul Burke knew he was going to be an entrepreneur. "In junior high, I used to stuff tons of soda and candy in my backpack and sell it to my friends at school," he told NBC News. "It's just kind of always been in my blood."
@pburke24 Yeah I'm looking forward to watching you guys grow. Monetizing seems like a bit of a challenge. Perhaps there's some opportunity with advertising houses/apartments in-app. I'll check back if I can think of anything else. Good work!
This is pretty awesome. I like you can set up your profile in <60 seconds. What are your plans to expand later on down the line? Maybe be the all inclusive roommate app where you can split rent, have a shared calendar, and set up reminders?
@caprihiggins Don't want to give too much away, however you are definitely onto something... Our mission is to streamline the rental process for renters and that involves a lot more than finding a roommate.
Is this only available in certain major cities?
It's available nationwide. Our user base is strong in most bigger cities so you'll have a great experience in NYC or SF, however not as much in North Dakota.
@pburke24 Cool. What about Bermuda?
@muloka Should have specified - only available in the U.S. at this point.
@muloka Yup. Checked out your Soundcloud, good stuff!
Hey Product Hunt Fam, I'd like to introduce you to RentHoop. Quick story behind it is I was looking to move out of my Mom's house and tried Craigslist and a few others apps to find a roommate. Thought the process was totally outdated and decided to do something about. Still living at my Mom's house though :) Skip the classifieds and download the app that makes finding a roommate fun, safe and simple. Your next roommate is only a swipe away. Here’s how easy it is. You choose where you need a roommate and we show you potential roommates in the area. You’ll be able to see the following information about each user with Facebook login. -profile picture -name, age -preferred neighborhoods -mutual friends, mutual likes -job, university -about section that tells you more about what the other person wants Once you find somebody who is a possible fit as a roommate, just swipe right. If they also swipe right we’ll connect you two with our in-app messaging. Simple enough? The app is for anybody in need of a roommate, however, students in college trying to rent off campus housing will be much more likely to have mutual friends when they are looking for a roommate. Our app is live in major markets like Seattle, Los Angeles, New York,, Phoenix, Chicago, Houston, Dallas, Portland, Atlanta and San Francisco. Whether you already have a room in your apartment that needs to be filled or are looking for people to rent a house you found, RentHoop can make your roommate search easy and fun.
@ryanmtaylor Thanks Ryan! Appreciate all your help in getting this setup.
Congrats @prestonattebery Since this is a location based app, how did you guys grow your initial user base?
@shapob @prestonattebery Great question. We've really utilized free social channels - Facebook groups and Twitter since we are a bootstrapped startup. I was influenced by @garyvee in our approach, we did a lot of reverse-engineering to understand where our potential users were going and making that our point of attack. We took an interesting approach, not one I would recommend for all location based apps. Rather than go city-by-city, we launched it nationwide. We wanted to see what cities found our app, where it was sticking, and how we could leverage the people who found RentHoop organically to grow it in that city. Overall, our growth has been great although we are yet to hockey-stick. For us, the bigger challenge is retention since once you find a roommate you probably won't use the app for at least another six months. Pinwheel seems to be a different animal from ours so I can't say our approach will work for you. Let me know if you'd like to talk customer acquisition strategy, I'd be more than happy to share what I know.

In recent years, research in Natural Language Processing (NLP) has led to major breakthroughs in language understanding. Computational semantics is one of the key areas in NLP, and accordingly a plethora of work focused on the representations of machine-readable knowledge along orthogonal dimensions such as manual vs. automatic acquisition, lexical vs. conceptual as well as dense vs. sparse representations.
JOIN-T (Joining graph- and vector-based sense representations for semantic end-user information access) project is a collaboration between the researchers from the Data and Web Science Group at the University of Mannheim and the Language Technology Group at the University of Hamburg. JOIN-T is funded by the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) as according to the project 259256643.
Creating a new hybrid graph-vector knowledge representation framework of meaning in context, combining lexical, distributional and ontological information.
Building a new hybrid repository of machine-readable knowledge from massive, web-scale corpora (e.g., the Common Crawl) and wide-coverage knowledge graphs (e.g., WikiData) to achieve coverage in the “long tail” and a mechanism for further adaptation the resource to the applications by inducing OOV domain-specific entities, entity senses and relations.
Assess the benefits of large amounts of hybrid knowledge from text and knowledge graphs to advance text understanding information access tasks, such as fact exploration and checking through interactive browsing.
Disambiguated Distributional Semantic-based Sense Inventories are hybrid knowledge bases that combines the contextual information of distributional models with the conciseness and precision of manually constructed lexical networks. In contrast to dense vector representations, our resource is human readable and interpretable, and can be easily embedded within the Semantic Web ecosystem. Manual evaluation based on human judgments indicates the high quality of the resource, as well as the benefits of enriching top-down lexical knowledge resources with bottom-up distributional information from text.
Learning a JoBimText model: initially, we automatically create a sense inventory from a large text collection using the pipeline of the JoBimText project.
Disambiguation of related words: we fully disambiguate all lexical information associated with a proto-concept, i.e., similar terms and hypernyms, based on the partial disambiguation from the previous step. The result is a proto-conceptualization (PCZ). In contrast to a term-based distributional thesaurus (DT), a PCZ consists of sense-disambiguated entries, i.e., all terms have a sense identifier.
Linking to a lexical resource: we align the PCZ with an existing lexical resource (LR). That is, we create a mapping between the two sense inventories and then combine them into a new extended sense inventory, our hybrid aligned resource. Finally, to obtain a truly unified resource, we link the “orphan” PCZ senses for which no corresponding sense could be found by inferring their type in the LR.

Have any of you ever started to become friends with someone with whom you felt a grand rapport to the point of intuitive ease and then had that person completely pull the rug out from under your budding friendship?
Well, I’m sitting here tonight in the wake of just that experience, feeling really stupid and thoroughly rejected.
The other thing that’s strange about this experience is that in the end it feels like you SHOULDN’T care, but then there is this part of you that’s still in a momentum of caring because, well, you were just side-swiped out of nowhere with a busload of rejection. No explanation, no logic, no heart… just… WHAM!
It’s really kinda awful, but only because I am making it that way, I guess. The truth is, I was never really cared about by this person and I will eventually, quickly, accept that, but I think I’m still in a little bit of shock. If someone can so easily erase you from his life and his thoughts and his interactions, then really, how much can that person have ever cared about you? To think I felt so happy and close as we started being friends is now just embarassing.
I’m sad, too, but not just because of the loss on my part. I mean, I really made a huge effort to be his friend, even through his distractions and his grief over the loss of a potential boyfriend, and most importantly through his sudden apathy and rejection of me; so it makes me sad that he could so easily walk away with not even a proper explanation or thoughtful goodbye.
I didn’t see this coming at all, though. I feel kinda kicked. I have been judged, condemned, and apparently I have now been buried.
So, goodbye, you-know-who. I don’t know what happened, but despite that, I do wish you well.
I am sorry this happened to you. I don’t know if it will help, but sometimes people do things like this to PROTECT themselves from their own vulnerabilities. I don’t mean that you did anything to threaten him, I just mean that perhaps you represented something that HE felt drawn to but afraid of at the same time. Because this would originate completely within his psychological cadre, you would never even know about it.
You have a powerful and influential personality. I can sense this JUST FROM YOUR BLOG. That may have attracted him but also intimidated him. Maybe he felt that he couldn’t “live up to you”.
I hope that made sense and was helpful. It’s hard to be insightful about people you don’t know well.

Oral Answers to Questions — Communities and Local Government – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 24th April 2017.
What recent assessment the Government have made of the adequacy of the availability of domestic violence refuges for women.
Refuges provide vital support for victims of domestic abuse. Since 2014, we have invested more than £33 million in services, including refuges, to support victims of domestic abuse. We expect local areas to assess their need and provide services and support to meet that need.
I have one refuge for women in my area. With 17% of specialist refuges in England lost since 2010, what are the Government doing to protect this vital lifeline for women and children?
The Government take this issue extremely seriously. No person should be turned away from the support they need. We announced in February that 76 projects across the country will receive a share of £20 million to support victims of domestic abuse, creating 2,200 extra bed spaces and giving support to more than 19,000 victims. That includes additional funding to the hon. Lady’s area of Lewisham.

Basecamp was created to make people feel less overwhelmed and more organized. If you’re anything like me, you like making to-do lists and crossing items off your list. The main reason I love Basecamp is because it allows me to make checklists for clients and keeps me up to date with deadlines. It lists all of my projects on my homescreen, offers a calendar view of my tasks for the month and lets me edit any task I desire! For us, it is one of the most organized tools we use.
Another useful marketing tool is Trello. This tool let’s you create boards for different departments, clients and projects in your organization. At Candeo Creative, we have boards for each department. These boards allow us to assign different tasks and duties and move them around to the various departments/employees. Whether it’s an art request or proofreading task, these boards keep everything organized and in one place.
I love social media and organization, so it’s no surprise that I love Sprout Social! It allows us to have social media accounts, such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter all connected via one dashboard! When I schedule content for Candeo Creative or a client, I can use the Sprout Social publishing tool. This tool also connects all social media channels’ messages, news feeds, demographics, trends and graphs in one place! It’s a useful tool and easy to learn.
What tools do you use to stay organized? Let us know by commenting below!

The Democratic Alliance in the Western Cape, welcomes yesterday’s (31 January 2018) announcement by Premier Helen Zille that water will be provided to schools, in areas which are most affected by the drought.
I am pleased that the Premier has given this assurance, as it will ensure that our centres of learning will continue to operate without any interruptions. Furthermore, the additional facilities to source, store and use augmented water supplies, demonstrates the DA-led government’s commitment to our learners and educators, in the face of the current water crisis.
Part of the Premier’s plans for schools that do not have access to boreholes, is to utilise sea water- and various recycled water sources. In addition, the WCG is currently engaging with various service providers, who might be capable of transporting 10 000 to 20000 litres of water per day to schools.
There are now between 10-12 weeks left until Day-Zero is reached. This day will mark the time when Dam-levels reach 13.5%, which is the day that emergency rationing will take place. On this day, the City of Cape Town will switch of water access to all residential areas.
The DA in the Western Cape remains committed to ensuring that each and every learner in our province has access to the relevant necessities as to ensure that they can make the most of their educational opportunities.

I was travelling on Singapore Airlines new business class from Singapore to San Francisco (via ICN).
136,000 Kris flyer miles spent + tax of $431.90, both ways from SIN-SFO-SIN. That was a super saver ticket so it really depends on your luck because not all flights have this package available. It can be either on the waitlist, or you might want to get another more expansive ticket available.
Anyway, it was a good deal and here are some of the highlights.
SQ has collaborated with BMW Group Designworks USA, James Park Associates and Massive Interactive to develop the new Business seats and its in-flight entertainment system.
Comparing to the old business class seat, the new one is slightly smaller but still, consider very wide across industry standard.
Plenty of buttons for your many patterns of sitting position!
There is a touchscreen controller to navigate the screen instead.
Welcome drinks before takeoff: We had a choice of either Champagne, juice or welcome drink.
Another round of drink service after take off. SQ is very generous in offering drinks throughout the flight.
Chicken and beef satay was served as canapés after take off with a drink.
2nd course: Classic Lobster Thermidor Lobster tail sautéed in butter, flambéed in brandy, sprinkled with cheese, and served with creamy mushroom sauce, garlic and spicy mustard, and buttered asparagus.
That was really delicious. This dish was NOT in the onboard menu. I pre-booked the main course while booking the flight through SQ website. SQ has a “Book-the-cook” service where passengers in premium economy, business and first class can choose from a wide selection of meals up to 24 hours before the flight.
I love this because you’ll never have to worry if they run out of choice by the time taking your order (if you are not their PPS member). Cruel huh.?
Wine: Napa Chardonnay from Starmont winery.
I actually love SQ business class menu as they offer a great selection of wines, coffee and tea. Apart from the normal Cappuccino, Espresso, Mocha… they also offer single-origin coffee from Guatemala, Brazil and Ethiopia. If you are a coffee lover, you might want to do a coffee tasting instead of wine tasting onboard. Just order them black.
SQ selections of tea from TWG TEA, love the variety. My favourite was Darjeeling.
Comparing to other airlines, the amenities given on Singapore Airlines Business Class is quite limited.
There were NO individual amenities pouch or pyjamas given, instead, they provided only in-flight slipper, a pair of socks, and eyeshades.
I would prefer to have a small goodie bag that includes everything essential such as toothbrush, pen, combs etc in a pouch though.
Seats – 4.5/5– very spacious and lay flatbed is always good for long flight.
Entertainment system – 4/5 – Just the fact that it’s still not using touchscreen TV.. WHY?
Amenities – 3/5 – as mentioned, it can be quite limited.
Food – 5/5 – lots of selections of food and drinks. I’ve definitely put on weight after the flight.
Singapore Airlines business class is definitely one of the most expensive business class product among the other elite airlines. Amenities and hardware might not be the best but the service and food selections are still at the top end side.
If money is not an issue, this is definitely the go-to airline for business class or first class!
