Amidst the swell of music millennials are inundated with on a daily basis, musical collective Gungor aims to add more to the world than just "noise."
"There's plenty of noise in the world," said band founder Michael Gungor in a phone interview with The Daily Beacon. "(We want to make) something that can allow people to experience their heart opening towards their lives, towards the world.
"It's a little ambiguous, but that's something that drives us as we're creating albums."
These albums include the Grammy-nominated "Beautiful Things" and the group's most recent effort "I Am Mountain," released on Sept. 24. "Mountain" came after a long "fallow" season, Gungor said.
"For the new album, we re-approached writing," Gungor said. "We took some time in the last year and just stopped doing anything really. We did a lot of snowboarding and hanging out with friends and playing video games and just living some normal life. We tried to not force anything out.
"Then the songs just started by trying to forget how to write a song. Music is just sound, so how can we create sound?"
Gungor said "Mountain" was recorded close to the Mexico border outside of El Paso, a setting that contributed to the feel of the album.
The feeling was magnified by a run-in with a drug cartel.
"(Our friend) was like the only white guy in the place," Gungor said. "One of the cartel guys bought him a drink and he was like, 'Yes, sir.' He kind of appeased the guy, and then he was on his way out and got stopped by these guys who wanted to take him out to the back alley and in that area, you don't do that.
"The guys started gathering around Craig, but the cartel guy came up and was like, 'No guys, he's with me tonight.' And they dispersed. He said, 'I can see you have a good heart. As long as you're with me, you're safe.'
"I was like, 'Holy crap, Craig almost got killed or kidnapped.' Our run in with the cartel was a pretty interesting part. That kind of Wild West feeling was kind of pervasive. There's a little Wild West on this album."
Before the collective made "Beautiful Things" in 2010, the group changed its name from The Michael Gungor Band to the more ambiguous Gungor. It is a change that, for Michael Gungor, reflected a shift in the group's priorities.
"Gungor is how we really started kind of moving towards creating our own aesthetic and art," Gungor said. "Michael Gungor Band was part of a slow evolution, where it just kind of happened without much thought or intention. We'd play different places and then called us Michael Gungor and then added band. There wasn't much thought or form to it. We were about to make 'Beautiful Things.'
"It felt like something had shifted and we wanted to pay more attention to what was going on inside of us and make us more intentional. We wanted to make a break from what had been and start fresh with more intentional aesthetic."
Another transformation reflected in the name change is the growing influence of Gungor's wife, Lisa Gungor, who has since taken a more active role with each proceeding album.
The two were originally drawn to each other by their mutual interest in music.
"It was part of the initial attraction and fun of the relationship that we both loved music, and it was a shared thing that we had but we never actually thought much about trying to do music together," Gungor said. "She wrote songs, but they were very different kinds of songs so for a while we didn't write together.
"Until we changed to Gungor."
While Gungor's Grammy nominations were in Gospel music-related categories, Gungor said he tries to distance himself from the moniker, and genre in general.
"A lot of our early stuff it was written to God as prayers and people just classified it as Christian music," Gungor said. "I don't believe in genre period. Music is music and people write about what's important to them, ideally. Religious themes are in most music. To me religion and spirituality should be all-pervasive in your life. Anything about life is sacred and spiritual to me.
"I don't get the distinction. You don't call other things by whatever the religion of the person that wrote it is."
Gungor's perspective on music and the value it has in people's lives adds to the uniqueness of the group and the work they have produced.
"We're not just trying to cater or pander to an audience," Gungor said. "It's important to me that people would have their hearts opened. I find my heart softened with music.
"There's something about art and music that we long for it to be more than just entertainment."
Gungor will be performing at The Square Room Saturday, Nov. 9. Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets are $25.

Some weeks it feels like it takes forever for Friday to get here, but now that I have near-future plans, this week just flew on by! I usually don't post this late, but the day seemed to get away from me, so here are my simple pleasures...better late than never!
Mad Men
There are times when I feel like I was born in the wrong era. Occasionally I wish I grew up in the 20s and other times I wish I grew up in the 50s, 60s, or 70s. Right now I'm in a stage where I imagine life during the 60s because I've been catching up on Season 5 of Mad Men before the new season premieres on Sunday. Really, I'm looking forward to seeing what Joan and Megan will be wearing next season!
Nike Swimsuit
I bought these small canvases ages ago, but I never seemed to get around to doing anything with them. Well, I finally made the time to break out my paints and brushes and start on something. This is a close-up of one of the larger squares and it definitely isn't close to being finished, but at least I started working on them!

Aggression is one of the most common feline behavior problems reported to behaviorists. Cats may exhibit several different types of aggression including territorial aggression, non-recognition aggression, status-related aggression, fear aggression, redirected aggression and medically-induced aggression.
Here I will address territorial aggression – one of the most common expressions of feline aggression.
Cats are, by nature, solitary hunters and have strong territorial instincts. Feral cats mark their territory with urine, feces, and certain natural odors secreted by scent glands. Scent marking serves to indicate that the territory is occupied and serves to reduce antagonistic encounters between cats.
When food is plentiful, as it is in our homes, groups of cats can and often do live harmoniously. Groups of cats may even develop something of a social structure and seem to have a mutual understanding of their own house rules. These house rules may include time-sharing arrangements.
Feuding cats have little chance to avoid each other within the four walls of the home and battles that would naturally end with one or other cat running away can never reach that conclusion. With this problem, clashes are usually ongoing with one cat the perpetrator of the attacks and the other simply trying to keep out of its way.
The best way to attempt to avoid this problem is to gradually introduce a new cat using the technique described below, though peace and harmony cannot be guaranteed using any approach.
Treatment of Territorial Aggression
Systematic desensitization and counterconditioning is the behavioral technique of choice to reintegrate feuding cats. Systematic desensitization involves separating and then gradually (and systematically) increasing the two cats' exposure to each other.
Ideally, neither cat should show anxiety or aggression during the introduction or reintroduction process. If they do, the owner must arrange for them to go back to a previous peaceful level of exposure before attempting to advance in the program once more.
Below is what I call my 7STEP program for re-introducing feuding cat. A scaled down, more rapid version of the program can be employed when introducing a new cat to a cat-containing household.
STEP 1 (of the Desensitization Program)
Completely separate the feuding cats in 2 separate environments within the house.
Now begins the process of desensitization and counterconditioning.
The door should be cracked open 1-2 inches and secured with a doorstop or hook and eye.
Only when peace prevails at the Step 2 level of exposure, he opening should be widened to a 4-6 inches.
Once the cats are able to eat and play close to each other across the screen, the next step is to reintroduce them to each other for a short time in the same room.
Once the cats are eating peacefully side-by-side on harnesses or in their carriers, the next stage is to free the more passive cat from the harness or carrier.
Once the cats can be together peacefully for extended periods of time, the owner should make sure to praise them and/or give them food treats whenever they are seen together.
The process described above is tedious and it may take several months to achieve acceptable results. However, no matter how frustrating it may be, do not rush the reintroduction process as that will only exacerbate the problem.

Suncandy periodic blog and images
Thu, Jan 15 2015
SunCandy was a photo blog I maintained for 12 years. A picture a day from 2001 until the end of the Mayan calendar and the end of the world in 2012. In many ways my world did end around that time. And now I'm dealing with the frustrating new existence. However life goes on completely changed and superficially unchanged.
I'm in the process of rebuilding SunCandy as a blog and news site.
Stay tuned.

Sources: Mangino-Wright incident triggers KU investigation
LAWRENCE — Kansas football coach Mark Mangino poked senior linebacker Arist Wright in the chest during a practice before a game at Colorado, sources told The Eagle on Tuesday evening, triggering an athletic department investigation of Mangino.
On Monday night, Kansas athletic director Lew Perkins met with the entire KU team to discuss concerns relating to Mangino's treatment of student-athletes. One of those concerns came from Wright, who sources say told Perkins of his incident with Mangino.
At the meeting, where Mangino was not present, KU players were invited to bring forward information in front of a formal panel that, according to quarterback Todd Reesing, would be from outside of the athletic department and unbiased.
"I can confirm an internal review is under way," Perkins said in a statement. "It involves a personnel matter, and as a result, is confidential. It would be inappropriate for me to provide further information right now."
Mangino said Tuesday at his weekly scheduled news conference that he has not lost his team.
"Not one bit," Mangino said. "I may have lost some people around here, but it's not players."
Asked what he meant, Mangino said, "Take it for what it's worth. You decipher it and see."
Mangino certainly may have been talking about Perkins, who met with Mangino for 10 to 15 minutes on Monday night, according to the coach.
Players interviewed Tuesday said that Mangino has not changed the way he deals with them this season. Mangino said he felt the reason that there are issues now is the Jayhawks' five-game losing streak, which started with a loss at Colorado.
"This is what comes when things aren't going well," Mangino said. "You're going to find disgruntled people. It's a fact of any organization, whether it's sport related, whether it's corporate, any profession you're in. ... That's life. It's how it works."
Mangino was asked if he thinks there would be an investigation into his behavior if the Jayhawks were 5-1 instead of 1-5.
"No," he said.

MyEditor is another iOS text editor. It works with iCloud, it'll export to Dropbox, yadda yadda yadda. But this one has a couple of very neat features that might just be enough to make you forget the plain and frankly ugly user interface. It has a clipboard history, it can capture your clipboard whilst in the background, and it can run your text through Javascript, uh, scripts.
Lets get the UI out of the way first. It's plain as hell. Some might like that, but I don't. The document list is full-width and has a tiny font. The editor has (it seems to me) no way to change the font or colors. And the toolbar buttons are both tiny and have spidery, unintuitive icons.
But the functionality is good. You can tag your articles and then search on those tags. You can also search the contents of all your documents (supposedly, anyway. I couldn't get it to work) and share your files with pretty much any app, and even choose which text encoding to use.
The real draw, though, is the clipboard. iOS had no way to access anything but the latest clipboard entry. MyEditor has a clipboard history which you can access by tapping the little clock icon in the toolbar. This brings up a standard dialog box with your latest entries in there. The app can also keep running for ten minutes in the background, capturing the clipboard as you copy from other apps.
This is useful. You can use it to collect a list of links, of quotes, of anything you like. Then, back in the spartan surroundings of MyEditor you can compile them into one, and edit them as you like. Even if you hate writing in the app (which so far I do), the clipboard is going to find uses pretty often.
The other neat trick comes from the developer's sister app, MyScripts. It is a Javascript app which will run scripts on your text. Select a chunk of prose in MyEditor, hit the little lightning icon and you'll be whisked off to the app where you can convert from Markdown to HTML, or get a wordcount, or pretty much anything else you can do with Javascript. The app can also be called from other apps using URL schemes.
The price for MyEditor is $4, which seems fine for what it does. What I'd really like is to see a clipboard history in some of my favorite apps. (Writing Kit, I'm looking at you!) MyScripts has a free version and paid one, but frankly the free one is so annoying I didn't even look at the paid version. Available now.

Know any law enforcement officials in the Virginia area? If so, pass along the details of an upcoming identity-theft summit later this week at the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Academy.
This free training will provide hands-on strategies for dealing with identity-theft crimes, recognizing prime targets, dealing with victims, individual and organized crime activity, investigative strategies, problems and approaches, as well as preventive measures.
As one of the summit sponsors said, "year after year, this crime continues to evolve and advanced education is absolutely essential to our front-line officials."
According to FTC data, the total national identity-theft complaints received in 2011 were up 11% from the previous year. Florida leads the nation in identity theft complaints, according to the FTC, with twice as many complaints as 43 other states in 2011 and triple the complaints of more than two thirds of the rest of the country.
However, Virginia is not immune to identity-theft crimes, and law enforcement officials there say they have found these crimes span across many diverse jurisdictions. Because of varying identity theft laws state to state, professional summits can help raise more awareness.
The event, open to local, regional, and state law enforcement officials, will be held this Wednesday, March 21, from 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. The location is the Northern Virginia Criminal Justice Training Academy, 45299 Research Place in Ashburn.

Obviously the web site needs to have it's sensitivity turned down but until that's done, be a rebel, IGNORE THE ERROR, and register anyway defying the computer overlord. If you make a mistake, the humans will step in and 'save' you.

4th Annual Carlota Acosta Parcheesi Tournament
Seems this Parcheesi tournament thing has really become quite the event in our family. We now play more often throughout the year in an effort to get some practice in (or decode our opponents' strategies), and if we're not playing, the conversation will still often stray to various related topics. Those topics will usually revolve around general gameplay, ways to improve upon and expand the tournament party, who we should invite for the next year, and reminiscing about past "I-came-THIS-close!" games. One of the themes of these Parcheesi conversations has always been the names of those who have managed to get their names up on the Golden Caldero — most notably, the fact that all the names were Latino, and none of them were women.
Now, I can guarantee you there's absolutely no exclusion of other nationalities or of women. Our family is Puerto Rican and represents the majority of players, but the remaining players who have married or befriended someone in our family have been mostly Scottish, Irish, Canadian or a Russian/English/German/Native American mutt, and the skill levels have pretty much run the gamut on both sides of the ethnic fence. The genders are also pretty much a 50/50 split, and women have always been a part the final game. Despite these facts, we couldn't help but wonder, "When will the first gringo or first woman get their name up onto the Golden Caldero?"
This innocent observation would usually lead to an episode of trash talking and taunting back and forth, as my non-Latin relatives swore they would get their chance, and my sisters, mother and I insisted that next year was OUR year. There was also the small conundrum of whether my or my sisters' not-so-hispanic married names would count as gringo names on the Golden Caldero, nevermind the craziness that would ensue simply because we were women. Certain patriarchs of the family also went as far as to VOW that there would NEVER be a gringo or woman's name on that caldero for as long as he could help it! (All boastful pride and good-humored ribbing of course!)
This fourth year, after three rounds of preliminary games and much food, spirits, teasing and, of course, Larry coming so close to a win (he does this so often, we now call this particular type of choking larrying), the final Parcheesi game promised to change things forever. The finalists included (left-to-right) my sister, Lisa; my brother-in-law squared, Bryan; Bryan's wife, Joyce; and my brother-in-law (and also Joyce's brother), Jim. If the winner was my sister, the Puerto Rican streak would technically still remain, but regardless of who won, a gringo name would be going up on the Golden Caldero.
In the last turns of the game, Bryan had one piece left to go all the way around the board, and Jim had the same plus another piece about halfway around. However, Lisa and Joyce were in a dead tie for first, each with one piece left and each needing only to roll a 3 to win everything. Eventually Joyce was the one who rolled that 3 and took the title. And just like THAT, the Golden Caldero would bear a name that was both gringo AND a woman's… all in one shot.
Congratulations, Joyce! Your pioneering Parcheesi win has blown the door wide open for gringos and women everywhere, and you'll never be forgotten! Just don't think for one second that anyone, whether Puerto Rican or non-Latin, or man or woman, is going to go easy on you in next year's tournament just because you're a girl. And seeing as she has known you since you were little, I'm pretty sure Mamita is damn proud of you too. 😉
3rd Annual Carlota Acosta Parcheesi Tournament
Our family's third annual Parcheesi tournament was another rousing success! Every year the contest grows bigger, and we added another four players this time around. As always, it was loud, it was fun, it was full of yelling, and certainly full of upsets. Plus tons of food. Oh, we can't forget the Parcheesi cupcakes. Yes, I made Parcheesi cupcakes. I also painted my nails with Parcheesi colors. I guess I was in the spirit!
My brother-in-law and nephew were unable to make it this year, so I recruited my friend, Andrew, to help fill the vacant spots. Any time I post about Parcheesi he comments how he loves the game, so I knew he'd be a great fit for the tournament. He hadn't played in a while though, so my husband and I hosted a warm-up game with him two nights before to make sure we were on the same page as far as the rules go. This proved to be interesting: Andrew pointed out two rules that we never play by in our family:
- If you roll a 5 and have a piece in your nest that's able to come out, it must come out. As Andrew put it, "You can't just hide in your nest the whole game then come out when it's convenient for you!" Fair enough. It's a strategy we've used in our games to take advantage of someone's pieces rounding the corner and becoming fodder. Apparently, that's illegal. Oops!
- In the rules it states that when you're in your "home stretch" lane, you can only enter home on an exact roll. We've always interpreted this to mean that once a piece is in that lane—including the safety at the far end—it's basically cemented there until you roll exactly what you need to get in; you can't inch your way up the lane when you roll less than the required amount. Apparently we were over-interpreting it, and you can inch up. The rule simply clarifies that you can only enter home if your roll lands you directly on home. So, say you need 2 to go home but you roll a 3. You can't send that piece home and pretend it's moving one more imaginary space once it gets there.
Even though Andrew was correct on these rules, he accepted that our house rules were our house rules, and faithfully observed them for the tournament. There were a couple rules he learned from us as well, like rolling doubles counting as 14 since you get to count the reverse of the dice. But it's crazy that we've been playing this game forever, and still didn't know all the official rules. In all honesty, I don't think I'd ever actually read the rules. I learned by playing with my family and following the rules they enforced. It never occurred to me that they might be playing the game wrong!
Last year, the tournament winner was my father, Frank. Now, he's known in our family to be a bit of a cheater. We always have to watch what he's doing, count along with him, and keep track of which parts of his move he's already taken so he doesn't try to take them twice. If you ask my father outright, he'll swear up and down that he's an honest player. Yet, the night before, as my sisters and I were helping Mom get things set for the next day's festivities, Dad had a touch too much to drink and we all overheard him telling my uncle, Chuck, precisely how he cheats and who he prefers to cheat against. Hmm, interesting…
The three preliminary games this year were full of almost-wins and disappointments. In the last qualifying game, my cousin Larry had one piece left in the home stretch and all he needed was a 7 to win the game. My father-in-law got two men around the board and in for the win before he could roll that lousy 7. From what I understand, this happened to him twice that day. In fact, in each of the three games he played, he left only one piece on the board. Sooooo close, Larry. So close!
After winning his first game, my friend Andrew played his third game against both former tournament winners—Frank (my "I don't cheat!" father) and Willie—plus my uncle, Chuck. My father was playing to the left of Chuck, so Chuck had to pass my father's nest just before heading home. Frank had a bridge at his doorstep so Chuck's pieces were stuck behind him, patiently waiting for the opportunity to get past and go those few spaces into his home. At one point, my father broke his bridge… for no apparent reason. Willie and Andrew looked on with astonishment while Chuck's last pieces went right in with little resistance. Andrew swears the game was rigged, but in all honesty, since Frank had won his last two preliminary games he was all but guaranteed a place in the final game and probably figured he'd just let Chuck get the win. Since this was Chuck's second win of the day, he would be in the final game, too. If my father or Willie had won, Chuck's granddaughter Jackie would have taken that last seat. More interestingly, if Andrew had won that last game he would have advanced to the championship. Maybe my dad wanted to do his part to keep it in the family. (For now.)
The finalists were my father (Frank), my uncle (Chuck), my sister (Lisa) and my brother-in-law squared* (Brian). (*My term for him since he's my brother-in-law's brother-in-law.) The game went through its usual twists and turns. A bridge here, a bridge there, a bunch of people getting eaten. Soon, it was down to Lisa and Chuck, as they each had three pieces in and only one left to win everything. Chuck eventually got his last piece at the penultimate spot—only one space away from home—while Lisa's last piece had half the board to go. Chuck rolled his 1, and the tournament was his.
Congratulations Chuck, and thank you for unseating Frank as the Parcheesi tournament champion! The Golden Caldero shall bear your name and we will target YOU next year! But we're still not taking our eyes off of Frank…
Cheers to you, Mamita. We love you and hope you're gazing upon us and enjoying the cut-throat games of Parcheesi we play on your behalf. I hope we're doing you proud. 🙂

Aluminum is one of the most used metals in today's society – Aluminium Extrusions Dandenong in Review it can be found across a number of industries, such as construction and commercial, and in a number of applications, such as beverage cans and appliances. When choosing a manufacturer of aluminium extrusion for supplying the metal that you use in your workplace, however, it is important that you carefully consider which one will be best for your needs.
The manufacturer will begin by removing the aluminium from deep within the earth's crust (either as bauxite ore or feldspar). Often, the Bayer's method, Wohler's method or Hall Heroult method is chosen to remove the metal in its molten form. It is then hardened and moulded into whatever shape the manufacturer desires. When the aluminium is extracted from the earth in its solid form, Aluminum Cabinet Frame Extrusions it will be passed through a number of mechanical processes that are designed to give the metal its desired shape. These processes include: rolling, drawing, forging, spinning, piercing and extrusion.
Regardless of whether aluminium has been found in its molten or solid form, the manufacturer will then pass it through either a hot working or cold working process to prepare it for their customers. When using the hot working process (the most popular of the two), a billet will be heated to a temperature of over 79 degrees Celsius, which will allow the aluminium to be easily distorted and placed into its desired shape.
The reason for the popularity of the hot working process over the cold working one can be fully realized when you compare aluminium extrusion to squeezing toothpaste out of its tube. It is much easier to extrude the metal when it is malleable, meaning that it must have been heated to a certain temperature.
Finally, the aluminium will pass through an extrusion and drawing process that runs almost parallel to each other. This is the final step in the whole extrusion process and is the step that gives the metal its entire shape. Deep drawing, for example, is used give the metal a cup, conical tapered, cylinder and seamless tube shape. For less curved shapes, Aluminum Cabinet Extrusions the drawing process is skipped.
Once you are satisfied with the processes and methods utilized by a potential manufacturer of aluminium extrusions, you can begin submitting your orders with them. If, after your first delivery, you are still satisfied with the manufacturer based on the promptness of the order being filled and the quality of the aluminium that you receive, you can continue the relationship.
Aluminium Extrusions Dandenong in Review?
Aluminum doors are a popular choice for commercial properties adding strength and durability and reducing the risk of the door being broken down. While these may seem a great choice, especially from modern buildings, they do offer their own advantages and disadvantages that you need to be aware of.
Aluminum doors come with a host of advantages, which is what makes them such a popular choice in the commercial and industrial industries. These are also increasing in popularity in modern homes, where homeowners are looking to add that industrial chic to their finished design.
One of the biggest advantages to this option is the stability, strength and durability that these doors provide. Aluminum is exceptionally strong and this is displayed by the quality and strength of these products, which can last for many years, often outlasting many of the other materials available on the market today.
They work exceptionally well in buildings which have already incorporated aluminum windows, blending the two together to create a beautifully finished building that will stand the test of time.
Another advantage to these products is their ability to stand up in any weather conditions. It doesn't matter if you are based in the heart of the dessert or on the coast, which is constantly plagued by sea air. These products are weatherproof and strong and can handle vast temperature changes without signs of wear and tear.
You will find that aluminum doors are available from most suppliers, which is always a huge advantage. They can be found in most suppliers around the world and do not require that you hunt for them. If you have already chosen this material for your entry, then you should be able to find a reputable supplier who can supply and install the product for you in the shortest space of time.
Only in cases where the door is custom made will this process take longer, but in the majority of cases the supplier will have a number of doors in various sizes readily available and just waiting to be installed.
A huge advantage for any business owners is to know that their door won't require much maintenance over the years. The good news is that aluminum doors don't rust, so they are ideal in any climate, especially those that are close to the sea. Salty air can be exceptionally damaging, but these products are treated ensuring that they can withstand anything that is thrown their way.
Everything available on the market comes with some disadvantages and aluminum doors are no different. There are some cons to using these products over the other materials available on the market.
One of the disadvantages is that they tend to stain from constant water. If your building is in a very wet area which sees a lot of rain, you can expect some marks which will increase over time. While the product won't rust, the marks can be rather unsightly, so this needs to be taken into consideration when making a final decision on whether these are the right choice for your business or building.
Another disadvantage is that these can be more expensive that the other products available on the market. The metal prices are constantly fluctuating which makes it exceptionally difficult to budget until you have the product on order.
Most suppliers will be able to give you a final price when you ask for an estimate. Also bear in mind that because these are such high quality doors, they do require specialist installers who have experience with these products, ensuring they are installed to the highest standard.
Choosing someone to handle the installation that aren't knowledgeable on aluminum doors can result in you having to call out a repair company much sooner than anticipated.
How to Fix an Aluminum Sliding Door
When double glazing first became a popular window choice in the 1960s, most frames were made of aluminum. Aluminum remained the most popular choice for framing double glazing windows through the mid-1980s, when it held over 60% of the market. Since the introduction of PVC window framing, the market share of aluminum framed windows has dropped steadily. As of 2003, less than 17% of windows sold were aluminum framed. There are many reasons for the drop in popularity - and still some good reasons for choosing aluminum over PVC or wood frames.
The early popularity of aluminum was based on price and convenience. Aluminum was far less expensive than wood, the only other choice for window framing in the early years of double glazing. In addition, aluminum is easily extruded in the shapes and lengths needed to frame windows of any shape or size. It's strong, durable and very close to maintenance free.
Aluminum frames do have one significant drawback, however. Aluminum is an excellent conductor of heat and cold. It's such a good conductor, in fact, that in colder temperatures, frost often forms on interior surfaces of the windows close to the aluminum joints. The end result is windows that are significantly less able to conserve heat and energy than those framed in other materials.
PVCu was introduced in the mid-80s as a choice for framing double glazing windows, and immediately began to climb in popularity. When compared with aluminum frames, PVCu was less expensive, and more energy conservative. It can't match the strength of aluminum, however, and there are security concerns with its use. In addition, the introduction of 'thermal breaks' reduces the heat conductivity (measured in U values) of aluminum framed windows significantly. By fitting a less conductive material between the panes of the window as a sort of 'bridge' between the glass, manufacturers can bring the U value of aluminum framed double glazed windows within conservation standards.
The main selling points for aluminum window frames, then, were:
1. Strength - aluminum framed windows are far less prone to warping. The aluminum withstands weather well, needs no painting and forms strong, rigid window frames that will fit for far longer than wood frames.
2. Cost - aluminum frames are far less expensive than wood frames. They are easier to manufacture, and the material is less expensive to begin with. On the other hand, the introduction of PVC has largely negated the advantage of cost. Far lower in price, and with more efficient heating, PVC has become the material of choice for framing double glazing windows.
3. Ease of maintenance - As opposed to wood, which is subject to warping and decay and needs repainting every 3-5 years, aluminum is virtually maintenance free. It never needs painting, doesn't rot or warp, and is rigid and strong enough to bear the load of window lintels with minimal reinforcement.
4. Security - Because of the tight fit possible with aluminum framed double glazed windows, they were - and still are - the choice where security is a paramount concern. It's very difficult to 'pop' an aluminum framed window from its frame if it's properly fitted.

I made up a new word. I think.
I haven't googled it. And I don't plan on it. I'm going to play ignorant on this one and just revel in my new word.
Onions. Caramelized. In balsamic vinegar.
Add said onions with some grilled chicken, lettuce (and swiss cheese if you're not dairy free) in a tortilla…and you've got yourself some scrumptious wraps!
I dare you to balsam-melize something.
I double-dog dare you.
(Now there…you have to try it now.)
Chicken Wraps with Balsam-melized Red Onions
Yield – 4 servings
Preparation Time – 10 minutes
Cooking Time – 25 minutes
- 2 chicken breasts, grilled and sliced ($2.14) On sale recently for $1.99/lb
- 1 red onion, sliced into strips ($.80)
- 1 Tbsp olive oil ($.10)
- 1/4 cup balsamic vinegar ($.35)
- Heaping Tbsp sugar ($.03)
- Few handfuls green leaf lettuce head, torn ($.25)
- 8 burrito size tortillas ($1.02)
- Green beans from the garden
1. Grill chicken. This is a perfect meal for batch grilled chicken slices.
2. Let's move onto the red onions, shall we!? Chop off the top and bottom and slice down the middle in half.
3. Peel away the skin and slice into half-moons.
4. Add to a large skillet with some hot olive oil and saute for 1-2 minutes, separating the half-moons.
5. Add the balsamic vinegar.
6. Add some extra if you like. Now we've got the balsam– part done.
7. And for the –melize part to these onions…add a heaping Tbsp of sugar. The tangy balsamic vinegar needs some sweetness to balance the flavors.
8. Toss around…and when it starts to get all bubbly, reduce heat to medium low. (I turned my dial to 4…out of 9.)
9. Let the vinegar reduce. And let the onions take on the sweet and tangy flavor.
10. Once they look like this, and taste like perfection, add them to a chicken wrap. And if you like, add some Swiss cheese.
11. Cook green beans.
12. Serve Chicken Wraps with Balsam-melized Red Onions and Green Beans.
Cost $4.69

Kanye West Tweets a #RARE Pic of Kim Kardashian
Kim Kardashian hopping out of Kanye's coupe isn't as rare these days the rapper would like us to think.
Earlier today, the Throne dweller tweeted a picture of his rumored girlfriend stepping out of his half-a-millie silver Mercedes McLaren on the way to Barry's Boot Camp. It is a major change since we've never seen any of this ex flames flaunting the keys to his whips, not even the subject of his last album: Amber Rose.
@KanyeWest: #RARE http://pic.twitter.com/phFwVQxX
Nonetheless, he either thinks the act is rare, Kim K is rare or it's rare that a coupling of this sort isn't a publicity stunt.
We'll go with that lost one.

It's been awhile since I've written a blog post on here! A lot has happened since ... geez, April 2016.
I have two books out in stores now!
Dead Weight: Murder at Camp Bloom is a YA comedy/murder mystery set at a fat camp I co-wrote with my dear friend Terry and illustrated by the awesome Matthew Seely. I'm super proud of it!
The Cardboard Kingdom is a middle grade graphic novel illustrated and orchestrated by the very talented Chad Sell and co-written by a group of about ten of us. We each created a character--mine's that little girl with a crown and a snake aka The Animal Queen--and they all live in the same neighborhood where they play, learn, fight, make up and everything you do as a kid. It's been doing extremely well and it's a great feeling that people are connecting with it.
Other than that, I've been making con appearances. I was up at Emerald City premiering Dead Weight this year, went to a con in Juneau, TCAF and VanCaf. I'll be at Rose City in a couple of weeks, where you can pick up either book or the anthology I co-edited with Kel McDonald, Can I Pet Your Werewolf, full of sweet, romantic, funny, non-horror werewolf stories. Come say hi!
I am working on another project for Oni that I can't talk about yet so look forward to that announcement when I make it. Also, there are other things in the work that are still quite nebulous but hopefully I'll have more news on those things soon.
Thanks all of you for supporting me through this haphazard thing called being a writer. I'm doing my best to bring some quality work to you!

Our Fire Pit has been a BIG HIT this summer
Thanks to Ian Payne of Enviroscape and Dufferin Outdoor Maintenance our landscape design has taken a beautiful life of it's own and has inspired many guests in unique and special ways. Some have created interpretive art, writing and photography.
One couple chose the fire pit for an impromptu wedding!
Others simply enjoy the waves that run through the tall grasses and wild flowers from the warm summer breezes.
We look forward to enjoying night time bonfires right through until Thanksgiving, as we gaze above at the starlit night sky.

Aelius Lampridius wrote biographies of several of the Roman emperors, one of which, that of Elagabalus, is dedicated to Constantine, suggesting that part of his life was passed under that emperor. Nothing more seems to be known of him.
Vita Commodi
ch. IX:
With his club he struck down not only the lions masquerading in woman's clothing and a lion's skin but even many men. Halt and lame men he dressed up as giants, so that covered with rags from the knees downards they crept along like serpents, and transfixed them with arrows. The shrines of Mithra he defiled with human blood, judgeing that in this way he would terrorise by deed as well as by word.

M&A Sellers: How to Feel Less Exposed by the Process
Going through an M&A sales process in general, and writing an offering document specifically, can leave Seller feeling extremely exposed. If you're a Seller or potential Seller, you aren't alone! And if you're on the buying side, sensitize yourself to the worries and fears of Sellers.
Sellers feel vulnerable because every decision they've made throughout their careers — good, bad, and everything in between — is fodder for discussion. Every problem, every wart, and every misstep that Sellers would rather forget get rehashed and brought to light. Sellers often have to explain and discuss embarrassing decisions and poor investments. It's the ultimate mea culpa for many business owners.
But Sellers can comfort themselves with the fact that they aren't the only ones to go through this process. Buyers are like doctors: They've seen it all or will at least pretend like they have.
Sellers afford themselves some level of safety by remembering the following tips:
Hire a capable intermediary: An intermediary often acts as hand-holder for the business owner and serves as a valuable buffer. An intermediary can make the initial overtures without tipping off the fact that a certain company is for sale until a confidentiality agreement is in place, whereas the mere act of a Seller approaching the Buyer sets off the alarms.
Keep your cards close to your vest. Sellers can protect themselves through the slow, gradual release of information. Each divulgence has its time and a place.
Assume the position: At some point, Sellers have to just get over their shyness and prepare themselves to feel as if they're being paraded naked through town, poked and prodded, and generally abased and abused. It isn't pretty, but it's what happens!
Buyers, be cognizant of these feelings, too. Be gentle! Buyers should only ask for documents and information needed to close the deal.

Today we had a surprise visit. While we were out at lunchtime break, something strange happened in our classroom. Take a look at our pictures and see if you can work out who left us an Easter egg hunt. We had a lot of fun finding the clues!
Happy Easter to you all,
from all the staff in Beach
