Canadian painter Matt Crookshank isn't afraid to fail. In fact, his no-holds-barred, confrontational approach is what results in the wild hits and misses that make his abstracts so bold and unusual.
Crookshank's large and small canvases are full of conflicting elements, even on the material level. Works in this solo show, The Unlikely Event, contrast thick impasto smears with shallow areas of poured resin. Some materials chemically rebel against the surrounding paint, causing areas of seething geologic upheaval on the surface. In others, geometric lines and colours borrowed from digital technology clash with earthier tones and explosions of primary colours.
They often bring to mind cosmic creation and upheaval, the birth and death of stars, galaxies and planets.
While many of his marks could be called gestural, Crookshank is also invested in the accretion of paint on canvas. Endless Painting, for instance, came about after he'd abandoned it, using it as the place to dump the residue of other paintings in progress.
"I hated it," he admitted recently, "and had given up on it entirely. Then one day it came alive and I started to work on it again. Now I realize that hating a painting is a vital part of putting me on the road to a successful work."
The show highlights his older work as well as his most recent. The front of the gallery features two brand new paintings that veer away from his earlier sculptural layering and opt instead for a flatter but no less electric accumulation of warring visual layers.
They represent a new direction for a painter who wants to surprise himself, fusing an organic sensibility and faith in his process with a broad and confident visual vocabulary.
David Jager • 4 STARS
Globe and Mail
Unlike his optimistic colleague, painter Matt Crookshank created his show Eternal Flame: Ten Large Painting For World Peace out of a growing sense of frustration with the dialogue, or lack of dialogue, around peace and peacemaking.
"I've been pretty depressed and distracted lately by world politics, so I started to crawl into my own drawings and I noticed there were all these conflicting tendencies – harsh lines and marks mixed with fluid, organic shapes. It looks like a war to me. So I put my conflicting impulses on the canvas to see if they could come to some sort of an agreement."
The resulting works are, to say the least, contradictory. Transparent washes of dreamy colour barely cover violent, aggressive graphics that look like explosions. The paintings have an intentionally unfinished, hesitant to look and convey more anxiety than serenity.
"Yeah, well, they're my internal war, made external," Crookshank adds. "Like a lot of people, I feel extremely helpless and frustrated, as if whatever happens is totally out of my hands. No matter what anybody says or paint or performs, we're having a war with Iraq because the Americans want one. And the very idea of peace seems like a remarkably dated idea – you say "peace" and your instantly back in the hotel bed with John and Yoko. And everyone treats you like a simpleton. The really important concept becomes irrelevant because of sentimental nostalgia." Crookshank, laughs uneasily. "Paintings are as likely to make peace as UN negotiations. I guess I just want to see if I could get the word peace printed in the newspapers for a change."

Moving is sometimes daunting for many single people, but it doesn't have to be. Those who effectively prepare for their relocations will be able to handle any challenges they encounter.
Single people can contact friends or family members for help during a relocation. However, experienced relocation experts can serve as excellent resources and offer information that can help make the relocation a less stressful experience.
The following packing and moving tips could prove useful for single people who are getting ready to relocate their belongings.
1. Categorize items - Packing similar items together can cut down on the time it takes to unpack. Single people can start with a checklist of various belongings and consider where they will store these possessions to get organized for their move.
Professional relocation movers will gladly offer guidance to single people who are getting ready to relocate. These movers have experience and skills that are greatly beneficial to anyone looking to move, and they will be happy to lend a hand when it comes to determining the best way to categorize belongings.
2. Develop a moving budget - A relocation can quickly turn into an expensive endeavor, and single people who create moving budgets can outline the expenses involved. While certain costs may rise unexpectedly, relocation budgets allow single people to control their spending associated with typical moving expenses.
Keep in mind packing supplies that are needed to prepare for a move. Single people may need boxes, bubble wrap, tape and other products, and determining approximately how much these items cost allows members of this group to plan ahead.
3. Coordinate for moving day - Single people may feel excitement as moving day approaches, and should get ready for the occasion.
Map out a trip from a present location to a new residence. This allows those looking to relocate to determine how long it takes to travel between locations, and they can estimate how long an entire move should require. Additionally, starting early often helps beat traffic.
Unfortunately, moving day rarely goes precisely according to plan for many, so be prepared for challenges that could arise throughout the relocation. Be flexible, and remember that when all of the belongings are moved, unpacking and settling into a new residence can begin.
Moving can be stressful, but those who take the time to get ready for their relocations increase the likelihood of avoiding problems.

The Rifter Trilogy
A gripping series by award-winning author, Ginn Hale. Originally published as a ten-part digital series, the entire collection is now also available in three print publications.
When John opens a letter addressed to his missing roommate, Kyle, he expects to find a house key, but instead he is swept into a strange realm of magic, mysticism, revolutionaries and assassins. Though he struggles to escape, John is drawn steadily closer to a fate he share with Kyle—to wake the destroyer god, the Rifter, and shatter a world.
Having escaped a brutal battle between Fai'daum revolutionaries and Guan'im cavalry, John has climbed the Thousand Steps to the heights of Rathal'pesha in search of a way home. He learns that the golden key he lost–the one that can open a Great Gate and allow him and his friends to return home–lies within his reach.
But not even the remote mountain monastery of Rathal'pesha is safe from violent turmoil in an age of rebellion and religious warfare. Soon John is drawn into the heart of a power struggle that will decide who will live and who will die on the Holy Road.
The epic conclusion of the Rifter Trilogy.
John Toeffler never saw himself as a warrior. He has spent years keeping himself and his friends safe through silence and subterfuge. But all that changes when he and Ravishan were betrayed. Now, with a bounty on his head and the Payshmura forces determined to destroy both Ravishan and Laurie, John knows he can no longer leave the battle against the Payshmura Church in the hands of strangers.
If he and those he loves are to survive the coming war, John must master the wild, killing power that he has suppressed all of his life. But he is right to be wary – for the price of victory will be dear and not even he knows if he can truly control the terrible force that even now awakens deep within his sacred bones.
The Rifter is also still available as a ten part digital series.

Heading off to college for the first time, away from home, will offer students a variety of challenges, not the least of which will be how to balance studying and partying. Far too few young adults consider this to be a major dilemma and, unfortunately, not enough parents or education staff think this is a topic worth discussing with their children. The fact is, however, that the right balance of studying and partying can bring success to the young college career while the wrong one can end up in disaster.
Welcome week on most college campuses will be fraught with a host of parties, orientations, tours, gatherings, and opportunities to meet and make new friends. It's a time to celebrate the beginning of the next stage in life for these students, to learn how to deal with being away from home, no longer under the rules of their parents, and to shift into the responsible adult life that awaits them. Yet this first week is also when most students will either learn the balance between studying and partying or fall into a common trap of too much freedom.
Freedom is a good thing for anyone. There is no doubt and it should not be questioned. Most college campus dorms have an R.A., or 'Resident Assistant' on each floor to help new students cope with their newfound liberty, and to create that balance. However, most R.A.s are merely students themselves. So, while their advice and direction will most likely be pertinent and well-intentioned, it doesn't guarantee that the students will learn the importance of balancing studying and partying.
Parties are fun. They are fantastic way to meet new friends, find common interests, and to simply 'blow off steam,' from the stressful week of classes. Most of the time, parties are generally intended to fall on the weekends, when classes are not in session. As we move deeper into the twenty-first century, however, more and more classes are being held on Saturdays.
When considering whether to attend a party or, if there are many invites to different events, which one to attend, a student should consider the class work and schedule they face in the coming week. Fridays and Saturdays are the best time to attend parties, but if the student has a class early on a Saturday morning, then they could consider either not attending a Friday night gathering or leaving early. Semesters move quickly and falling behind by one week can make it exceedingly difficult to catch up.
Also, the student should determine how much homework he or she is facing in the coming days. Since most parties extend late into the night, odds are that the student will sleep in, losing a part of the following day. The art of balancing studying and partying is knowing how well he or she works and how long it will take them to finish their assignments.
If a student notices that their friends are attending parties or other social functions during several nights throughout the week, he or she may be best suited to consider not accepting the invitations or seeking out a different, more studious group of friends with whom to associate.
College isn't a right and with the wrong balance of studying and partying, any student could potentially find themselves at the end of the semester with grades too low to allow them to return. There's no excuse for not finding that right balance of studying and partying from the very beginning of the academic career.

Prestige Class: Blind Master
Prestige Classes of Andurin Blind Master
Blind masters are warriors who know that they cannot always depend on their eyes. Some become blind masters because they are truly blind, others because they recognize the advantage of not needing to see. Many blind masters wear blindfolds, even if they still have their sight. A favorite tactic of a blind master is to lure his enemies into a dark place where he will have an advantage over them. Monks, rangers, and rogues are most likely to learn this style of fighting.
Feats: Blind-Fight, Combat Reflexes
Skills: Listen 8 ranks
Base Attack +3
Hit Die: 1d8
Skill Points: 6 + Int Modifier
Class Skills:
Balance (Dex), Bluff (Cha), Climb (Str), Concentration (Con), Craft (Int), Diplomacy (Cha), Escape Artist (Dex), Hide (Dex), Jump (Str), Listen (Wis), Move Silently (Dex), Perform (Cha), Profession (Wis), Sense Motive (Wis), Sleight of Hand (Dex), Survival (Wis), Swim (Str), and Tumble (Dex)
Class Features:
Note: Blinded Condition - The character cannot see. He takes a -2 penalty to Armor Class, loses his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any), moves at half speed, and takes a -4 penalty on Search checks and on most Strength- and Dexterity-based skill checks. All checks and activities that rely on vision (such as reading and Spot checks) automatically fail. All opponents are considered to have total concealment (50% miss chance) to the blinded character. Characters who remain blinded for a long time grow accustomed to these drawbacks and can overcome some of them.
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: simple weapons, light armor
Monk Tradition (Ex) - Although the blind master does not gain the monk's flurry of blows ability, if the blind master has levels in monk then his blind master levels stack with his monk levels to determine the effectiveness of his flurry of blows ability. Additionally, the multiclassing restrictions placed on monks do not apply to the blind master.
Blind Sneak Attack (Ex) - If the blind master has the sneak attack ability then he retains his sneak attack damage when attacking opponents that have concealment.
Blind Feint (Ex) - While blind, the blind master can use the Bluff skill to feint in combat as a move action instead of a standard action.
Blind Uncanny Dodge (Ex) - While blind, a blind master can react to danger before his senses would normally allow him to do so. He retains his Dexterity bonus to AC (if any) even if he is caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker. However, he still loses her Dexterity bonus to AC if immobilized. If a blind master already has uncanny dodge from a different class then he automatically gains improved blind uncanny dodge (see below) instead.
Blindsight (Ex) - While blind, the blind master has the blindsight ability with the listed radius.
Blind Agility (Ex) - The blind master no longer suffers the -4 penalty to Dexterity based skill checks while blind.
Blind Strength (Ex) - The blind master no longer suffers the -4 penalty to Strength based skill checks while blind.
Blind Move (Ex) - The blind master no longer suffers reduction in movement speed while blind.
Blind Senses (Ex) - While blind, the blind master gains a bonus to Listen checks equal to his class level. In addition, the blind master no longer suffers the -4 penalty to Search checks while blind.
Blind Evasion (Ex) - While blind, the blind master gains the evasion ability. If the blind master makes a successful Reflex saving throw against an attack that normally deals half damage on a successful save, then the blind master instead takes no damage. Evasion can only be used if the blind master is wearing light armor or no armor.
Blind Attack (Ex) - While blind, the blind master gains the listed bonus to his base attack bonus. Note that an increase in the blind master's base attack bonus may allow him to take additional attacks using the full-attack action.
Improved Blind Uncanny Dodge (Ex) - While blind, the blind master can no longer be flanked. This defense denies another rogue the ability to sneak attack the blind master by flanking him, unless the attacker has at least four more rogue levels than the target does. If a blind master already has uncanny dodge (see above) from a second class, then he automatically gains improved blind uncanny dodge instead, and the levels from the classes that grant uncanny dodge stack to determine the minimum rogue level required to flank the character.
Fast Blind Feint (Ex) - While blind, the blind master can use the Bluff skill to feint in combat as a free action. This ability can be used once per round.
Deflect Arrows - The blind master is treated as having the Deflect Arrows feat, even if he does not have the normal prerequisites for that feat.

Every time I'm ready to take a break from beating the gif art drum, I peer in my bookmarks and see a dozen more superstars waiting to be adored by you. Can't stop won't stop and all that.
The alien:
Charles Huettner
Charles Huettner is an illustrator who kicks ass at drawing cute creatures—humanoid but often not human—and bringing them to life as animations. If you spend a bit of some time on his Tumblr, you'll grow close to his odd creations, then suffer disappointment when you find out how many of them come from his abandoned short film concepts.
The fashionista:
Tara Dougans
Fashion illustrations have been flooding my preferred blogs lately, and I couldn't be more pleased. In particular, the work of Tara Dougans really stood out. It's not only marvelous—it moves. She takes already-bizarre men's fashion and makes it somehow even more hypnotizing, and that's a serious task.
The everyday:
Thorka Maer
Thorka Maer illustrates simple lives simply. And I do not mean that in a negative way. She records her observational humor with colored pencil (and Photoshop) in a manner that's charmingly analog in the midst of the gifosphere. Her It's No Biggie project is the perfect thing to metaphorically shrug on on a rainy day.
The question mark:
40 Licks
I wish I could tell you more about 40 Licks. I suppose they're a Rolling Stones fan? Their gifs run the gamut from basic cinemagraph-style animation to collage to pixel art to stereoscopy to other words I haven't learned yet. Their general inconsistency is part of their charm; there's no way to know what's coming next.
The neon:
James Jirat Patradoon
It's hard to put my finger on whether James Jirat Patradoon's gifs are hard or easy on the eyes. His art is all steampunk and sass, like some kind of ceaseless '80s mashup set to throbbing techno beats. It's got macho shapes and feminine colors, and overall I rate it double plus good.

First pitch in T-minus two hours ...
*When I stepped on the field at 9 a.m. it was 39 degrees. Factoring in the northern howl of about 30 mph and it felt, ya know, about 0.
*You know it's a different, bigger day when you get on the press elevator and are greeted by secret service and their bomb-sniffing dogs. Wearing a black coat with my hands in pockets, I'm betting I looked terribly guilty. Of something.
*Ballparks always look sparkling on Opening Day. Especially this one. Fresh paint everywhere, even on top of the dugouts. And the "Win a Free Suit" sign on the scorebard 501 feet from home plate has been replaced by a Pro-Cuts ad. The place looks new, but the speakers are blaring Bob Dylan's "Mr. Tambourine Man." WTF?
*In the clubhouse Josh Hamilton confessed to being nervous. "Yeah, more than big games or Home Run Derbys or anything," he said. "It's always nervous trying to find your comfort level for the first time."
*Not a good beginning for manager Ron Washington. Seems he posted his lineup wrong on the card taped to the clubhouse wall. That one had Hank Blalock batting fourth and Nelson Cruz fifth. "No, it's wrong," Washington said in his office. "I'll fix it." Should be flip-flopped.
*Washington on his team's gruesome Aprils the last two years: "We fell apart in all phases of fundamentals. I just don't see that happening again. Not with this team. Not with these guys." Pretty much the same guys. Maybe a different team?

*Washington on his former meeting with George W. Bush: "I like the man. He's very personable when he's not busy being the President."
*During his pre-game media chat Washington's phone rang. It was general manager Jon Daniels. The manager didn't answer it. See, media = important.
*It's football weather. Funny, when Jonestown Coliseum opens for NFL business across the street in September, it'll be baseball weather.
*Tom Hicks is on the field watching Rangers' batting practice. And no, smartass, he's not passing around a collection plate.

Here's another must-read/must-see/must-try from the archives. It first appeared 5 years ago to the day, on November 13, 2010. As was the case in 2010, now's the time--there are plenty of green tomatoes around, and you can often get them for a song.
There are still some real green tomatoes kicking around. In fact, depending on where you live, there might still be loads of them. And, along with making your own chowchow, frying them is a pretty great way to make use of the last of the tomato harvest. But even if you find that the green tomatoes in your area have already disappeared, all is not lost. As the Lee Bros. point out, your standard supermarket tomato is effectively a green tomato--it certainly was picked green (generally, very green). So you may need to add a bit of lemon juice and some salt to your sliced supermarket tomatoes to coax out a little flavor and approximate the wonderful, citrusy tartness of a true green tomato, but fried green tomatoes are a classic Southern side that you can make pretty much all year long. If you want to make the real deal, however, and I strongly advise giving them a try, local green tomatoes were still available here in Montreal this week. And their bright, tangy flavor this late in the year made it feel like we were cheating the approach of winter somehow. If only for a moment.
Note: you also need some decent cornmeal to make these fried green tomatoes, and good cornmeal can be hard to find in the Montreal region. The best brand we've been able to locate around here is Indian Head Stone Ground Yellow from Maryland, available at Aubut.
Even better is Beattie Bros., which is owned by the same parent company, but produced in North Carolina. Though, as far as we know, you can only get Beattie Bros. in the States.
Fried Green Tomatoes
3 lbs green tomatoes
3 large eggs, beaten
3/4 cup whole milk
3-4 cups peanut oil
3 batches fry dredge (recipe follows)
kosher salt, if needed
lemon juice, if needed
Core the stem ends of the tomatoes and slice them in 1/4-inch slices. Set aside. Whisk the eggs and milk together in a broad, shallow bowl.
Pour the oil in a 12-inch or 14-inch skillet (3 cups of oil will suffice for the 12-inch skillet; 4 cups should do for the 14-inch skillet, and the 14-inch skillet will make the task of frying 3 lbs of tomatoes much, much faster--ultimately, whatever size skillet you use, you need an oil depth of about 1/3 of an inch). Heat the oil over medium-high heat until the temperature on a candy thermometer reaches 350º-365º.
Heat the oven to 225 degrees. Set a baker's rack on a cookie sheet on the top rack.
Divide the dredge between two small bowls or shallow baking pans. Taste the tomatoes. "They should have a bright tartness like citrus fruit." If they don't, sprinkle the slices with salt and lemon juice (if you're using supermarket tomatoes, this additional lemon and salt will be necessary). Press 1 tomato slice into the first bowl of dredge on each side, shaking any excess loose. Dunk in the egg mixture, then place in the second bowl of dredge, coating both sides, and shaking any excess loose, before placing the slice on a clean plate. Repeat with more slices until you've dredged enough for a batch (roughly 8-10, if you're using the 14-inch skillet). With a spatula, gently transfer the first batch of slices into the hot oil, taking care not to create splatter, and making sure your temperature continues to hover between 350º-365º.
As the first batch cooks, dredge the second batch according to the directions above, while keeping a watchful eye on the first. Once the slices have fried to a rich golden brown on one side, roughly 2 minutes, flip them carefully and fry for another 2 minutes or so, or until golden brown. Transfer the fried tomatoes to a plate lined with a double thickness of paper towels and leave them to drain for 1 minute.
Transfer the slices to the baker's rack in the oven, arranging them in a single layer, so they remain warm and crisp. Repeat with the remaining slices until all the green tomatoes have been fried. Serve hot with Buttermilk-Lime Dressing (recipe follows).
All-Purpose Dredge
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp stone-ground cornmeal
2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
In a medium bowl, sift the flour, cornmeal, salt, and pepper together twice. Stir. Use as directed.
This is a great all-around frying dredge. The Lee Bros. use this very recipe for everything from chicken, to fish, to fried green tomatoes.
Buttermilk-Lime Dressing
3/4 cups whole or lowfat buttermilk (preferably the former)
5 tbsp freshly squeeze lime juice
2 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
1 tbsp honey
1/2 cup finely minced basil
1/4 cup finely minced green onions
1/4 cup finely minced parsley
1/2 tsp salt, plus more to taste
In a small bowl, whisk the ingredients together until thoroughly combined. Cover tightly and store in the refrigerator not more than 2 days.
[these recipes are based very, very closely on ones that appeared in The Lee Bros. Southern Cookbook]
These fried tomatoes make for a fantastic side with any number of dishes, Southern or otherwise. We love 'em with seafood, but then we've been known to have them with barbecue too, and I could easily imagine having them as part of a Thanksgiving dinner. Leftover fried green tomatoes taste pretty outrageous on top of a leftover pulled pork sandwich, too. Especially if you drizzle a little of that Buttermilk-Lime Dressing on top. Just take a look:
Oh, and speaking of Thanksgiving and the Lee Bros.: if you haven't had the pleasure of reading Matt and Ted's New York Times exposé on Marilyn Monroe's stuffing recipe from 1955-6 (as it appears in Fragments, a just-published collection of previously unreleased Monroe ephemera), you really should. Not only is it a great read, but Marilyn's recipe is both mysterious (ground beef? Parmesan? City Title Insurance Co.?) and tantalizing. Just look at that picture. Just look at that recipe.
p.s. Looking for "eat your greens 1"? You can find it here.

Welcome Back
Coming up next at Gallery1988 Venice is a BIG group show inspired by three classic 80's films: Back to the Future, Beetle Juice and Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure! The show was curated by Chogrin and features our friends from the Autumn Society. You may remember last year's "3G" show (featuring Ghostbusters, Goonies and Gremlins) and anyone who attended the opening reception knows how packed that show was. This year's 3B promises not to disappoint and you can also expect a few opening night surprises!
The show opens Thursday, May 5th from 7-10pm at Gallery1988 Venice.
Here are a few sneak peeks from the upcoming show. Stay tuned for more over the next week. We have a ton of pieces in this show, so we'll be posting more teasers as the show approaches.

The second episode of the web documentary Exile Guayla on the Eritrean music culture in Switzerland focuses on the environment around the Eritrean parties. It sets the spotlight on the art of Eritrean dancing, tells us more about the purpose of the concerts, and shows different events all around Switzerland. It features the female dancer Yodit and male dancer Hermon as well as the promoter Alex.
How to Find Dancers
At the time, we shifted our focus from singer to dancer after the release of Episode 01, we didn't know how to find suitable participants. With the three-weeks-until-the-next-release-clock ticking we released a call for help on our Facebook page.
After about two days we got contacted by a woman who said she loves to dance. Her name is Yodit and she lives in the city of Aarau. She is doing an apprenticeship in a bakery and enjoys going out for a dance at Eritrean parties whenever possible. We visited her at her home and she told us a lot about the Eritrean party scene and showed us how to dance to their music. She tutored us a little as well – but our dancing skills wouldn't make the quality cut.
Seare (one of the singers from the first episode) also connected us to a friend of his who is a passionate dancer. Hermon lives in a small Swiss village somewhere in the Emmental. He showed us the modern and the traditional Eritrean dance styles.
With the dancing explained we needed someone who could tell us more about the whole party and concert scene. After a while, we remembered, that we met a promoter at our first ever Eritrean party. Thanks to some messages and the fact that the community is extremely well connected, we found Alex. He was a DJ in Eritrea and is now working on a construction site and organizes parties on the weekend. He gave us an insight into the party business and told us more about why it is important to have your own culture and keep up your heritage.
We got aware of this when we visited the concert of legendary Eritrean singer Abrar Osman. The crowd at the concert could let off some steam, let go of their homesickness and celebrate a wonderful evening together. We also discovered that our dancing skills are in no way comparable to those of our Eritrean friends. To showcase that even more we made a video of Swiss people dancing to Guayla music.
How to Get Knowledge
We found the footage for our «looking for dancer» video on YouTube. Surprisingly and after just some hours, a woman in Canada shared our video and commented that she is the dancer from the video. After we got in contact with her we found out that she is doing YouTube videos about Eritrean topics. Coincidentally she was doing videos about Eritrean dancing styles as well. With her help we got great amounts of information about the different dancing styles which were super handy for the outcome of the episode. Once again it is fascinating to see how small the world is and how social media can help you to find and connect to the right people in the right moment.
The Eritrean Dance
Every ethnicity in Eritrea has at least one dance style. They are normally related to their music. Yodit told us that Guayla is the most common style, which everyone can dance to. It is because this type of music is made for dancing. The young people don't get taught how to dance. All our interviewees told us the same thing: that they'd simply picked it up from watching, participating and practicing by themselves. Hermon explained that the older generation usually follows the rules of the Kuda. Kuda means to dance in a circle. Nobody could really tell us why it has to be a circle. The current generation doesn't really have a specific style. Hermon informed us that they are just moving to the beat and get inspired by the other dancers. In the video, you get a good overview of the different styles by our friend Salina.
We have reached a milestone: it is halftime for our project. The first six weeks were very intense but an incredible journey nevertheless. We learned a lot and are excited and motivated to get the second half rolling. Exile Guayla aims to be influenced by as many people as possible. If you have any inputs, comments, contacts or questions don't hesitate to contact us through one of our many channels: Facebook – YouTube – Instagram – Snapchat: exileguayla – Whatsapp.

Pennine Way Day 4 - Friday 12 June 2015
Hebden Bridge to Ponden (12.7 miles)
GPX File
We were the only people staying at Sharon's delightful B&B therefore had the dining table to ourselves. Breakfast was cooked right in front of us and was lovely. Sharon was off to London that day therefore we did not hang about even though we had only 13 miles to our next destination of Ponden.
Leaving Hebden Bridge we made our way back along the Rochdale Canal to the point where we had finished yesterday. From the A646 there is a gradual but in places steep rise out of the town - approximately 1000 feet over 2 miles before we reached Badger Lane. The route crossed over the lane and headed downhill through a very cozy and tight walled lane to reach Hebble Hole. This was a lovely little dell and we paused here for a while whilst Fudge had a swim in the river. Heading out of Hebble Hole we arrived in the village of Colden via an overgrown section of the path and on reaching Cinder Lane we turned off route for 300 yards to visit May's Aladdin's Cave - a well known shop which sells just about everything. We had a drink and an extremely tasty pie each before heading back to the route.
Heading along the Rochdale Canal on our way back to the route from Hebden Bridge
This was steep!
A last look back at Stoodley Pike
Someone's having fun
Heading to Colden
Hebble Hole
Heard a lot about this place therefore made the slight detour to visit it
It was all kicking off in Hebden Bridge
May's Aladdin Cave - great pies!
Above Colden - it was a long old way to Bronte Country!
From Mount Pleasant Farm there now began a splendid transit on a good path over Heptonstall Moor which on a day like today gave us superb views over the countryside - we could see the isolated Packhorse Inn to our right - a pub quite literally in the middle of nowhere. Reaching the Pennine Bridleway we headed north to reach the eastern edge of Gorple Reservoirs. We continued north to join Blacktop Lane before heading left on the service road to the Walshaw Dean Reservoirs.
Heptonstall Moor
That's a pub down there, The Packhorse Inn - just off route therefore never mind
Approaching Gorple Lower Reservoir
Ticking off the miles......
At the service road there is an option to remain on the road or follow the Pennine Way over the Lower Reservoir Dam. We chose the latter and on crossing the Dam headed along the right hand side of the Reservoir on a good path that continued almost to the top of the Middle Reservoir. Leaving the Reservoirs, the route took us through a section of patchy heather before crossing Withins Height. After what seemed like ages we finally saw Top Withins in sight. For those who do not know, the ruined farmhouse of Top Withins is said to have been the inspiration behind the Earnshaw family home depicted in the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte - however some say this is stated without the slightest evidence that it actually was. This does not put people off visiting here and the place clearly attracts lots of visitors although we had it to ourselves today - there is even a signpost in Japanese!
A bit of road walking as we head to the Walshaw Dean Reservoirs
A bit of sheep photo posing
As we crossed the Dam over Walshaw Dean Lower Reservoir, Fudge decided he did not like walking over corrugated bridges
Walshaw Dean Middle Reservoir
Looking over to The Lodge between the Lower & Middle Walshaw Reservoirs
Walshaw Dean Middle Reservoir
Be prepared for a bit of so called culture - Top Withins in sight
Top Withins
The jury clearly remains out as to whether Top Withins was the inspiration for Wuthering Heights
Above Top Withins
Fudge doing his bestest Heathcliffe impression
We are guessing Top Withins gets a lot of Japanese tourists
On leaving Top Withins there is an option for those staying in Haworth to head to the town via the Bronte Bridge & Waterfalls however we were staying at Ponden therefore carried on over Stanbury Moor to reach Rush Isles Farm and turn left to follow the track to our B&B at Ponden House. Our hostess Brenda was entertaining a friend in the garden therefore we were given Tea & Biscuits prior to settling into our room.
Ponden Reservoir
We were visiting friends in Haworth that night therefore after the customary shower and sorting of kit we headed on out for what was a lovely evening with great company. Today was another superb walking day over varied landscape and coupled with great weather too. Tomorrows forecast was to change all that and we were in for a bit of rain overnight - we would wait and see how the weather panned out.
Overnight Accommodation
Ponden House, Ponden - http://www.pondenhouse.co.uk
This B&B is in a lovely location with superb views over Ponden Reservoir. We ate with friends in Haworth that night - had we not then the nearest pub was about a mile away (The Old Silent Inn).

Why are gas prices so much higher here?
I traveled on the New York State Thruway to Syracuse on Sept. 21. The gas prices at the service areas were as low as $3.76 per gallon. At the Waterloo exit, the price was $3.69. Can anyone, then, explain why gas remains at $3.83 in the Attica area?

TCASN was excited to present at the Tennessee Department of Education (TDOE)'s LEAD Conference on October 17, 2017 alongside our colleagues from the Ayers Institute for Teacher Learning and Innovation at Lipscomb University and the TDOE. College access in middle school is a topic that is simultaneously talked about constantly and not talked about enough. We hear over and over that college access and success starts early – in kindergarten, if not before – but we don't always hear about strategies and practices that schools and districts can implement in order to facilitate more students going on to some form of postsecondary once they graduate from high school. The goals of our session were to share some of the recommendations TDOE has identified for how schools and districts can create more seamless pathways to postsecondary in middle school and to provide some concrete strategies and practices from across the state that others are using to do exactly this. Our session participants had multiple opportunities to share and brainstorm with one another on how college access in middle school can be implemented in their communities, and it was wonderful to see so many conversations sparked around the room!
Session materials and resources shared are available on the Ayers Institute's eduTOOLBOX resource for session participants who want to refer back or those who were unable to attend but want to check out some resources on this topic.

grants for our members
As an Armed Forces charity, our mission allows us to offer our Members financial assistance with the additional costs and hardships of disability.
In the last year we have:
- Provided 1,485 individual grants to 861 recipients to help with the additional costs of disability
We regularly contribute to the provision of wheelchairs, stair lifts, and home and garden adaptations so that Members can remain as mobile and independent as possible.
We consider grant applications on an individual basis - based on your specific need. We have issued disability grants in the past for mobility aids such as stair-lifts, scooters, wheelchairs and walking frames.
As one of many Military charities, Blesma is unique in the fact that Blesma can also help you with grants towards the cost of re-decorating your home or maintaining your garden. We do this because we understand that wheelchairs and scooters can easily damage your door frames and skirting boards no matter how careful you are.
We also recognise that it can be dangerous to climb a ladder to paint those difficult to reach places when you have lost a limb or use of a limb. We also understand that it can be difficult to tend your flower beds and mow your lawns. Using grants we can help you with the costs of employing a decorator or gardener to do this work for you
How do I contact the grants support team?

No one can deny the glamour and appeal of being a runway model. You get to wear fabulous clothes, get your hair and makeup done, and most exciting, you get to strut down a runway with every eye in the room on you.
While it is true that runway modeling is exciting, actually walking down the runway makes up a very small percentage of the time you spend on runway day. The reality of being a runway model is long hours backstage waiting for your turn in hair and makeup. The reality can sometimes be wearing shoes that are too small or too big but walking like they are a perfect fit. The reality can even be wearing an outfit so elaborate that you can't sit down for hours!
But the reality is also that all of those things are worth it for the exhilarating, breathtaking minute of your life when you are the most glamorous person in the room. The minute where you feel so powerful that nothing can stop you!
So, how do aspiring models become Kansas City Fashion Week runway models?
Three or four months before each season, KCFW holds several open casting calls for models. These auditions are announced on our social media pages and website, so aspiring models should keep a close eye on those sitesAt KCFW auditions, you should expect to have your measurements taken, have a headshot taken, and demonstrate your runway walk in front of the Fashion Week committee. Ladies should be sure to wear heels, and practice walking in them prior to your audition!
A few weeks after auditions, models will be notified whether or not they have made it onto the official model roster that designers will use to book models for their KCFW shows.
Model Workshop
Once you've made it through castings and have been accepted onto the KCFW model roster, what's next? All models on the roster will be invited to attend a model workshop that is held once per season. This workshop is run by our Talent Director and Director of Production, who instruct models on walking a runway, posing, and more. This gives aspiring models who may not have much runway experience the chance to learn techniques that will make them great runway models.
The Perfect Runway Walk
The only way to achieve the perfect runway walk is to practice, practice, practice. Ladies should wear their heels everywhere they go, even around the house, until they feel as comfortable walking in them as they do in flats.
In addition, there are a few pointers that models should keep in mind:
Practice the "C walk," placing one foot directly in front of the other while walking. This is harder than it sounds!
Keep your posture in mind! Walk with your back straight and your shoulders back.
Swing your arms naturally. Stiff arms look awkward, but arms that swing too much look crazy!
Keep your eyes up! Models often are afraid of tripping and stare at the ground in front of them when they walk. You should be looking straight ahead the entire time.
Don't over-pose at the end of the runway. It can be easy to get carried away with all those photographers taking your picture, but remember that the best pictures are those where the model looks natural and is posing minimally.
Above all, exude confidence. It can be a nerve-wracking experience, but models who walk with confidence will own the runway.

If you paid to have someone write your resume the first time, you will no doubt lack the confidence to make significant changes to fit each situation. Sometimes you may just need a tweak - and you will handle that. Other times, it may take some serious changes to put your background and capabilities in the most favorable light. Going back to the professional writer to get this done each time is going to cost you.
Another great choice, and most likely the simplest, is to use a resume creator software application. These applications make it very easy to complete your resume. You simply type the information into a box and it is then formatted and "moved" into your resume immediately. This will ensure that you have the proper formatting for your resume. There are many other benefits to using a resume creator software application as well but the time that is saved and the automatic formatting are by far the most impressive.
Unless you learn how to make a resume, it will cost you lots of money for a skill that you really need to know first-hand. With the right reference materials, the essentials of resume writing can be learned in an hour or two. I offer an excellent book on this topic at my website, if I may say so myself. Of course, as you know, you can also visit almost any bookstore to find several other books that will bring you up to speed.

Simon Reynolds autor del prologo del excelente libro sobre musica electronica Loops proximamente va a publicar su nuevo libro: Retromania.
We live in a pop age gone loco for retro and crazy for commemoration. Band re-formations and reunion tours, expanded reissues of classic albums and outtake-crammed box sets, remakes and sequels, tribute albums and mash-ups … But what happens when we run out of past? Are we heading toward a sort of culturalecological catastrophe where the archival stream of pop history has been exhausted? Simon Reynolds, one of the finest music writers of his generation, argues that we have indeed reached a tipping point, and that although earlier eras had their own obsessions with antiquity—the Renaissance with its admiration for Roman and Greek classicism, the Gothic movement's invocations of medievalism—never has there been a society so obsessed with the cultural artifacts of its own immediate past. Retromania is the first book to examine the retro industry and ask the question: Is this retromania a death knell for any originality and distinctiveness of our own?
¿Porque tratamos de revivir el pasado continuamente? Que ha pasado con la música popular que últimamente solo mira hacia el pasado para "reencauchar" un genero, un sonido o una moda. En este libro el autor explora ese fenómeno, donde es poca la innovación y mucha la influencia, copia y nostalgia.

Royal Opera House
Bow Street
(3 mins) The Opera House is off Covent Garden piazza, which is visible from the tube station exit. There is a revolving door entrance at the piazza.
The Royal Opera House gears up to welcome Verdi's classic opera from March 2011 to April 2011. The production, with David McVicar directing, originally appeared in front of visitors during the 2010 season and this welcome return will allow further London theatre audiences the chance to relish in the wonderful designs and performances. "Aida", first performed in Cairo in 1871, tells the story of doomed lovers – a prisoner and one of those that captured her – in an Egyptian setting where such a romance can never survive. But unlike the romance of the story the opera itself was always destined to stand the test of time, having opened to great fan-fare and acclaim in the 1870s and returning to the stage once again almost 140 years later.
Indeed across the last century and beyond, "Aida" has appeared all over the world, from its early appearance in the UK at the Royal Opera House back in 1876 to appearances in the United States in 1873, 1886 and 1949. So it is no wonder it is still has renowned as it returns to the stage in the 21st century, where it appears at the Royal Opera House during a season that also welcomes the likes of Fidelio and The Tsar's Bride, among others.
With David McVicar directing, the production will feature Daniele Rustioni and Fabio Luisi as conductors, alongside a cast that includes Micaela Carosi and Latonia Moore in the role of Aida and Roberto Alagna, Carlo Ventre and Dongwon Shin as Radames.
Aida makes its way to the Royal Opera House from Friday 11th March 2011 to Friday 15th April 2011.

Alaska legislators say they'll take stimulus funds Palin rejected
JUNEAU -- Top Alaska legislators said Tuesday they're likely to accept at least most of the federal economic stimulus money that Gov. Sarah Palin did not.
"I think at the end of the day we will end up taking most of the funds," said Anchorage Republican Rep. Mike Hawker, who is leading the House effort on the stimulus as co-chairman of the finance committee.
Senate Majority Leader Johnny Ellis agreed. "I would be surprised if we give up much or any of the federal money," the Anchorage Democrat said.
Palin announced last week she was not accepting $288 million of the $930.7 million that the state is due in the federal stimulus. Palin aides have said in the days since that the governor did not reject any money, leading some state legislators to charge the governor with backpedaling as a result of furor over the announcement.
The biggest chunk of money at issue is about $170 million for education. School district officials are mad, and Anchorage Democratic Rep. Harry Crawford said he doesn't expect legislators to withhold the money.
"I don't see anybody getting in front of that train," he said.
Senate President Gary Stevens, a Republican from Kodiak, said he's especially interested in the money that would go for special education and schooling for disadvantaged children. Stevens said his meetings with the governor prior to her stimulus announcement had given him the impression she was going to go after more of the money and he was surprised to hear otherwise last week.

"Rest in the grace of the world"/
I spent half a day at Mt Coot-tha Forest Park with a bunch of ten year olds recently. They did what ten year olds do, climbed rocks and trees, played tag, threw each other's hats into the creek and then ate their body weight in chicken sandwiches and orange cake. They also caught yabbies.
I didn't even know Brisbane's creeks had yabbies but the other mother with us, Jane, who brought the orange cake and three of the kids, was an expert yabby catcher, as it happened, a skill she'd learned growing up on a property near Texas in southern Queensland where, she said, they'd catch yabbies the size of a large prawn or small lobster. The ones at Mt Coot-tha were much smaller, and the kids could pick them up in their fingers. They were brown, like the creek rocks they live under, each with a single claw. Their proper name is Cherax destructor, I later learned, and what ten year old wouldn't love a creature with a name like that? We put the largest of the yabbies, perhaps two inches long, in a plastic thermos cup and observed it. When one of the kids got a tick in his neck, I pulled it out. Feed it to the yabby, someone said. We did. We learned two things. Cherax destructor's diet doesn't include ticks, and ticks can swim.
I made the mistake of asking Jane how you prepare freshwater yabbies, expecting, I think, a gentle euthanising. "Keep them in water while you get the pot boiling," Jane said, "and then scoop them up in a colander and throw them in." When they're reddish and, I assume, quite dead – they're ready. I didn't blanch, I hope, just continued to look as if that's what I'd do with those poor little Cheraxes when I was ready to eat 'em too.
Jane's experience of growing up was different from mine, but we both knew the magic of natural places, and we were both back there in a moment, given a chance. I remember days spent down the creek at home in Chapel Hill in Brisbane's west. We'd set out in the morning with a packed lunch, never knowing what we'd find, tadpoles in various stages of frogness, ever a wonder, guppies that always died when we took them home, dragonflies, other bugs. Sometimes we wouldn't get home until dark, not a worry on our minds.
In his book Last Child in the Woods, American writer Richard Louv says today's children don't spend enough time whiling away hours in their own company in natural places. Neighbourhoods don't have as many natural places to begin with, and we don't let our children roam free anyway because we of the overparenting generation are so afraid. Kids can't build tree forts because they might harm important trees or fall out of them, and they don't go outside as much because screens of various dimensions are way more tempting. Even at school and in playgrounds, ever more oppressive health and safety regulations stop kids exploring their environment. "Nature" has become a thing we see in a national park that's either vaguely dangerous or protected so completely we can't really engage with it meaningfully.
Louv links lack of engagement with nature
to a whole range of problems for children including obesity, attention
disorders and depression. He says kids – and grownups – suffer "nature deficit
disorder", and they won't bother protecting something they have no connection with.
Louv's evidence base is scant, especially around links with disease in
children, but his thesis is one I rather like.
But the last thing I want is to give already overburdened parents another thing they should be doing. Luckily, in Louv's thesis, nature is part of us and we of it, whether it's fishing for yabbies in a local creek, climbing a tree in the back yard, or taking a trip to the monolithic national park. For me, those hours spent in the company of ten year olds by a creek were worth every moment. American writer Wendell Berry suggests we sometimes need to "rest in the grace of the world." Ten year olds know how to do this by instinct. They have much to teach us.

Because our jobs are born out of passion and things we love doing without getting paid, the hobbyiest (or jobbyiest-- you are getting money but you aren't really *making* money for your business) is almost built in to our business. Which is why at some point, most of realize "Hey! That's not how a BUSINESS would do that" and have to course correct in some way.
I'm excited to share with you #ahasmember Meg of Bumblewood Soaps who had a very enlightening experience about what she REALLY thought about her business. Read on to find out how she corrected this.
Q: Please introduce yourself, tell us about yourself and what you do.
A: Hi there! I'm Meg, the owner and creator at Bumblewood, a natural soaps & skin care company based in southern California. I've been making products for my family's use for a while, but have been officially in business for 3 years now.
Q: What experience helped you to better understand how you were marketing your business?
A: A few months ago I was featured on one of our local new stations along with some fellow makers to promote a craft show we were a part of. One of the makers put it together, and we were able to bring a collection of our products, put up a mock display, and have the news promote the craft show. We didn't know very many details going into the promo, and it turned out to be a full morning of segments during the 2 hours of morning news! Which meant, unknown to any of us, that WE were on TV, not just our products.
Of course, my luck meant that I was the first one they went to when the camera was rolling and it totally threw me off guard. When I watched the segments later, I realized when the newscaster asked me tell a little bit about my business, I referred to it as a "hobby that had taken over the house". I'm sure it was nerves, and not being prepared for actually talking on TV, but it really shocked me that I said that even though I'm very serious about my business and it's so far beyond just a hobby.
Q: What were you able to learn from the experience? What did you decide to do as a result?
A: In that moment I realized that deep down I wasn't actually taking myself as seriously as I thought I was, even though I've been at it for a few years. It was time to not only ask myself why I referred to my business that way, but to craft my words and story behind the scenes, so that in the future I can present Bumblewood as the real business that it is. I also realized that some of the decisions I was making weren't as "big time" as they needed to be, and that probably needed to change in order to change my thinking.
Why do you think you reacted the way you did? What do you think was behind that?
Part of it was just the nerves of unexpectedly being on camera. But I think also because I'm still a SAHM (Stay at home mom)- which for me is the whole point of owning a business – it's hard to wrap my head around being "legit" when I'm chasing kids and doing laundry. And I think as makers we tend to let how others perceive us define what we do. I have had some people in my life that think what I do is cute and a nice part time thing, when in reality it's a full time business with lots of work that goes into it, but apparently my subconscious didn't get the memo!
Q: How have you changed the way you speak about your business?
A: I'm putting on my big girl pants and owning what I do! I'm making sure I view and present myself and Bumblewood in a real way – from talking about it, promotion, the words I use, my story, and the decisions I'm making about and for the business. I'm taking time to sit down and decide exactly how I want to talk about and run it so I'm not taken by surprise again.
Q: What effects have these changes had on the way you market yourself and your business?
A: I definitely feel braver and more open now! I've always been a very quiet person (which makes it really hard when it comes to promoting a business), but this one experience has helped me to realize that if I want to grow and be successful, I need to let go of my shy nature and put myself out there more.
Q: What advice would you give others who take their work very seriously but still get "stuck" in the hobby mindset when it comes to presenting or marketing themselves to the world?
A: What you do is SO much more than a hobby! We spend so much time researching, creating, ordering,doing inventory, bookkeeping and doing taxes, making sure all of our ducks are in a row to make a living by doing this thing we love. Own what you do and why you do it.
Change your thinking. Put it on a post it note and stick it to your mirror if you need to remind yourself daily. "I am a business owner. I do this for my living." Craft your story so that when you're presented with the opportunity to tell it, you don't refer to it as a hobby like I did. ;) And don't let anyone else's view or opinion of your work define what you do.
Q: Where can we find you online?
A: You can find my website at www.bumblewoodhandmade.com, and on Facebook and Instagram as Bumblewood (@bumblewoodsoaps)

OCZ Technology Brings their Innovative Reaper HPC Design to Two New High
Performance DDR2-800 Kits
OCZ Technology Group, a worldwide leader in innovative, ultra-high
performance and high reliability memory, today announced two new additions to
the Reaper HPC family, reflecting OCZ's dedication to evolving their memory
lineup for enthusiasts of all walks of life. The two new kits will be
available in two classifications depending on the platform at hand and desired
performance levels. While both feature DDR2-800 speeds, the PC2-6400 Reaper
Enhanced Bandwidth Edition is designed for optimal performance on NVIDIA nForce
680i chipsets.
As one of OCZ's legendary Enhanced Bandwidth (EB) editions, the PC2-6400
Reaper EB increases effective memory bandwidth through the optimization of
memory latencies between the system memory, the chipset, and memory controller.
At 800MHz, the Reaper EB edition is rated for 4-3-3 timings on 680i platforms,
while the standard PC2-6400 Reaper is rated to run CL4-4-4.
These unique DDR2-800 modules feature the Reaper HPC (Heat Pipe Conduit)
heatspreader which is engineered to deliver superior silent heat dissipation
over traditional heatspreaders. The Reaper HPC is an innovative cooling solution
developed by OCZ to effectively minimize heat produced by high-speed memory. As
heat rises into the thermo-conductive copper heat pipe conduit, it is dissipated
through a compact aluminum fin array. By strategically guiding
performance-robbing heat away from key memory components, the unique Reaper HPC
design maximizes passive cooling to improve longevity and stability of the

We recently had a meeting with a prospective couple, and they had some questions for us. Most were "run of the mill" type questions that we are used to. The bride then asked, directly from her notes "Do you carry liability insurance?"Easy to answer. "Yes, we do". Then she made a nervous giggle and said "I really don't even know why I'm asking you that, I just read it from a list of questions I printed out."
She had no idea just how important that question is, and you, the reader, have no idea how often a prospective client asks us that. Almost never.
Liability insurance is, in our opinion, a cost of doing business. It is not required. But carrying it says how serious we are about Photo and Video by Joe Goldsberry. This is our full-time business, full-time job, and our bread and butter. We can not imagine skimping on something as important as liability insurance. Sure, we hope we never need it. But come the day that we do need it, our client will be oh so elated that they choose to hire a company for their wedding that cared enough to treat their business like a, well, like a real business.
The company we happen to use, R.F. D'Agostino Insurance, helped us come up with a policy that covers what insurance was meant to cover - the unexpected. We are taking tens of thousands of dollars worth of equipment from our studio to various churches, venues and reception halls. Depending on the job, we could have cords, electrical components, cameras unattended on tripods and many other situations which could lead to liability on our part. As careful as we are, (knock on wood), we don't own a crystal ball, and we can't predict the future.
We welcome questions during client meetings about our liability insurance, our coverage, and the company we use. We can produce a certificate for any venue that requires vendors to carry their own insurance. We wish more people would ask about it, and we want to get the word out about just how important this aspect of choosing your vendors is. This is truly something that sets apart the serious, full-time photographers and videographers who care about their company from the weekend warriors who charge a cut-rate price for a mediocre product. It even sets us apart from other full-time companies who just don't care enough to protect themselves and their clients.
Oh, and we can even keep this post more "wedding friendly" than you think. After Mark D'Agostino became our insurance agent, he and his fiance, Meredith, became our clients!
And the wedding...
