Paperbark Camp, in the pristine bush of Jervis Bay, NSW, was the one place that raised eyebrows when people asked where I was headed on my Sydney trip. It was also the one place the majority of people were jealous of! I had never heard of it, but it seems it's super-popular and everyone I talked to was dying to go, or had been and wanted to go back.
I was staying in one of the Original Safari Tents (image from their website) which was actually quite large, with a king-sized bed, couch, and other bits and pieces. I was told in no uncertain terms to use the clip on the tent zipper to lock up at night, or I'd wake up to find a possum eating my makeup, among other things. They were NOT WRONG.
friend a selfie of me later sitting under a pile of all the blankets I could find and my jumper wrapped around my face as the afternoon cooled down into night. I may have been slightly exaggerating, but with the open tent and zero heating in almost-winter, you have to be resourceful!
I did see the next day that everyone had put their canvas window-coverings down, which may have been smart, but I really wanted to wake up in the trees. Also, I was travelling alone and everyone else was in loved-up couplet sooooooo …. probs a good idea to close the blinds.
I had a dinner booking for 7pm, although the restaurant is open 24/7 for warmth, wood fire, electricity, company, cups of tea/coffee, card games and newspapers. I grabbed my key, which helpfully comes with a little torch, and set off (wrong turn included) in search of sustenance.
unbutton-the-pants-by-entree endeavour, and I earned every single bit of that food baby.
First up was a quinoa bread with rose glaze served with butter and … chilli sauce.
Sounds weird, tastes amazing – although after my first bite I sat there blinking stupidly for a bit while my brain made sense of what was in my mouth. It was incredible. I can't describe why or how it works, I only know it does.
(ps the menu changes depending on the day, which you can see here.)
Entree was three-textured Mittagong mushrooms, which was nice, but I have a thing about mushroom texture. I kind of feel like I need some kind of bread or something crunchy to eat them with, but adding them to the rose/chilli concoction of earlier seemed a bridge too far. I did eat it all though, so it couldn't have been too bad!
I definitely then had pretty much a second entree of baby leeks with saffron and macadamia crumbs. I made a bloody good dent in them but I was worried about fitting in my main, side, and dessert, so I stopped before my time.
Predator possums aside, I slept and woke up to this:
While I was quietly looking at this:
Paperbark Camp 2.5 hours south of Sydney, and 15 minutes' bike ride to the beach (or you can walk!). Paperbark is an ecologically sustainable endeavour, and aims to merge with the surrounding natural environment as seamlessly as possible. They have earned the Advanced Eco Accreditation from Eco Tourism Australia, and is a member of the Eco Lodges Australia Group. They source local products and services wherever they can in addition to growing their own, and are operating with minimal impact, which you can read more about here, and enquire about a booking here.
And if you go – let me know! I'd love to hear your experiences!
I travelled as a guest of Paperbark Camp and Destination NSW. Thanks, folks!

The Ramones - "It's Alive - Audio Fidelity Limited Edition" (Warner Bros, 2009)
"Off-topic: audiophile punk-rock, what the fuck?I already confessed my deadly sin: no Ramones records in my collection until recently. But I think I'm forgiven: since I purchased "It's Alive", I gave it so many spins it's almost like I played it once every week for 2 decades. And you know (you must know) what I did next: try & finding a better sounding copy. I don't buy so-called audiophile records. They just sound baaaad to my ears, with virtually no high frequencies. I usually stick to original copies or old reissues. Recent remastered crap isn't my cup of tea either (makes my ears bleed). And I usually stay away from records with "180g" sticker, and yet I bought the one shown below. It was mastered by audiophile guru Steve Hoffman. I usually care more about who's actually playing than who's touching knobs in the studio, but all the Hoffman-mastered records I have (Bo Diddley, Buddy Holly, Doors) sound really good (better than originals), I mean exactly like I enjoy rock music: bold but not harsh, sweet but not dry, blablabla (and all the audiophile shit talk you can think of). Anyway, his version of "It's Alive" is really good. I'm listening to "Teenage Lobotomy" now: it feels like my head is actually IN the drums. Kick-ass sound, really! My neighbor will hate me. The CD version sounds like what you can hear when you play music directly trough a mobile phone. OK, enough audiophile shit, 1,2,3,4"
I told you before mate, you REALLY have it, haha! So, this is the official twin bro of another Ramones goodie i posted some time ago. I'm not 100% on what my my good friend wrote (a Japanese vinyl pressing i own just kills!) but as always he has a good point here! Don't know who this Steve Hoffman mister is, but for sure he did an exceptional job to one of the best LIVE albums ever pressed. The kicking-ass masterpiece of the Ramones, recorded on New Year's eve 1977 with the 28 already classics by the three milestone first Ramones LPs ("Ramones", "Leave Home", "Rocket To Russia"), with no pause and hyper-speed delivery!
Have a nice week all!

Radio Birdman - "Ritualism" (Crying Sun Records, 1996)
We Greeks always had a special admiration/bond for all things Aussie, especially in Rock & Roll. As I documented countless times before in here, we're not much (I mean arithmetically) listening to these sounds, but we're 100% into it. To give you an example in the midst of REM craze, Madchester rave and pre-grunge days, the Sunnyboys and the Lime Spiders were household names in every cool bar of the city. And this city had many of them. The Dubrovniks were able to pack a 1000 persons club easily, and every time you dragged yourself to some record shop asking for these names, the 'old' ones were telling you to 'go find the Saints and the Birdman'! Not bad, right? And if the Saints records' due mostly to the French New Rose label were 'easier' to be found, Birdman's was a HELL of hunting and a very good reason to let these bastards rip you off! I still remember my feelings contrast from the showcase to the cashier when I first saw 'Radios Appear' overseas version over hanged… Anyway, it took me some years to gather finally all Radio Birdman releases but the first was this!
Yep, the 're-union' live CD can carry still a special place in my heart. I'm pretty sure that for about two months this small disc rarely got out of the machine. Forget here all these greedy old men trying to mess up with their past. The performances of the songs are at least revitalizing and this time with all the weight been thrown to the roll element of their punk, which for me is an A plus! The production was recorded completely live and with no overdubs. They picked on the best material of their catalogue (yes the Birdman had shitty songs too, don't try hide it, 'Man with the Golden Helmet' is probably one of the worst songs I've ever heard!) electrifying themselves, their instruments and the all the people heard this! Radio Birdman for me it's a brother band to the Dictators. A punk rock gang that never been scared to mark out their love for hard rock ('Radios Appear' for example comes from a Blue Oyster Cult song lyric just like their name from a Stooges!). It's impossible to describe Birdman's importance with a few words. I'm fortunate enough catch 'em playing and to this day I'm wearing proudly the baseball hat with their cool logo on it! Up there with the Stooges and the MC5, the better examples of what is high energy rock & roll!

The Cramps - "My Daddy Drives A U.F.O. - The Lux-urious And Elegant Unease Of The Cramps Bootlegs Vol.1, The Live Tapes" (WAXCD 005)
Things worked faster this time! Ok, it's all up to my buddy's Cramps related snugness but I have to admit, Jean Philippe showed me the way! In less than a month, tracks picked up, rips were made and cd covers blow-by-blow designed for (what else?) the next WAX 'release' and as you can see this thing's planned for at least two volumes! The idea came to my head when I was preparing the Pub Rock volume and proposed my comrade to think of a Cramps boot volume as a next step. I mean, with such a vault, it's a crime to not touch our hands on and pitch on the cream of the crap, don't you think? And this is by a good 99%, a JPStooges sound cared project. My correlation focalized/minimized in some kind of 'spiritual' guidance about the way covers should look or how this project might be called or how this could or should be build, virtual not the things a rock & roll fan might be interested in. And I'm so gee-whiz for the end result!
So, the WAX team jointly decided to split this ghoulish idea in two parts. The 'studio' material and the 'live tapes'. And we thought it's better to start from the hoodoo stage rituals the Cramps got through 'round the world during their heyday (I know we are all fans, but we must admit that from the late 80s – maybe earlier, our monsters have started to transform their selves from voodoo idols to cartoons)! Detailed, carefully placed and with the 'semi-pro, my ass!' artwork approach of the WAX twins, this is the first volume of the Cramps tumulus raped material. What we had in mind was to create something Lux might have been proud of! We know this is a rather childish urge (i can't even think to write my childish thoughts on the most venomous female ever brandished a Gretsch...) , but the Legion of the Cramped lives no matter how many years Rockin' Bones gazette is out of print. And for one time at least we cheat the cheaters (aka bootleggers) in their own game, ha! Are we the baddest motherfuckers or what?! So as usual, NO bootlegging on WAX CDs. Share and dance freely.
Stay sick, more to come!

The Boys - "The Very Best Of The Boys, The Punk Collectors Series" (Anagram, 1999)
Hi there! You know, I'm not a person who likes compilations with stupid titles like 'the very best of' / 'greatest hits' etc. And actually, from the (very) first days of this blog I've never propose to you a comp in that vein. You have to got the albums, always, and in the case of the Boys, you have to buy them ALL! Saying this, I'm sure I haven't catch in my life more than 20 perhaps 'best of' for both, records and CDs. And a good 90% was purchased as a starter or as replacement to the bands normal releases (I've told you before,
's not a cool place for this kind of music). And it's a damn hard thing to find a 'best of' to represent any band's or artist's resume in the best possible way. Well, this one belongs to the scarce of the matter! Greece
The Boys are my 'weakness' (I'm not sure this expression translates in English exactly what I want to say, which is actually that the Boys won the higher places of my favorite punk rock/power pop groups easily). Definitely had the sound I want to hear to cheer my mood! The frenetic poppy punk blasts of their first steps and the more 'mature' punky pop of their later (in the way looks 'old' some 18yo lad to the eyes of a 15!) was hand-fitted to me. The fact that never 'did it' commercially is a home truth and of course a high injustice to their side but for me, no less than a happy situation… I know it sounds bad and don't get me wrong but when I was in my teens, my selfish existence demanded to go find 'things' that none of my friends would have known or like first! And still 18 years later, the Boys are for me the best punk/power pop/rock n' roll band of their time in the eastern side of the Atlantic (to the other of course were some four leather jacket and sneakers wearing lads, under a Paul McCartney surname).
The Boys greatness has many chapters and had offer to rock & roll much more than a casual fan may believe. Exceptional hooky fun dynamites and at least three equal if not legendary bands that predated or continued Boys legacy, all unfortunately with the same underestimated destiny. The Hollywood Brats, The Yobs and The Crybabys through the years trail won the more suspicious of the fans but somehow remain with something more of a cult following… Hopefully for all three aforementioned groups will talk in a future piece.
And what we get here? The singles (ALL classics, no 'You better Move On' tho'); in chronological order and a rollercoaster drive from the early unripe punk rock with pop refrains transiting song to song in a full pop crew with punky and edgy dynamics! From the quite Ramone-ish sugar harsh attacks ('Sick of You', 'I Don't Care'), through Phil Spectorian song morphology some years before da brudders in fact ('Brickfield Nights'), to an almost Chris Bell lost gem ('Independent Girl' – Am I the only one finding similarities with 'I am the Cosmos'?), the Boys arsenal of well crafted power pop songs is attacking your stereo's speakers unashamedly and with unconditionally swaggering charm!

The Skeptics "Spider Baby" EP out now on Chickpea Records!
It's always cool when you get back home from the job (especially on a tough day) and a new package's waiting for you patiently there, to open it and blow up your home stereo.
This kid's probably the next Billy Childish! He got SO much talent (fuck, I just used the wrong word for a garage punk review…) and in so many fields that makes my self sure about the snotty sulfurous Childish comment. I know Johnny or Cherry Boy or Bart from his first steps, when I and my mates were printing a fanzine. I got to know him through a social network, when I was still using these shit in order to wind up interviews. He bombed me with tons of cool stuff! His bands (the Pneumonias, the Wild Zeros), his A5 DIY photocopied kbd-smelling
zine and of course with some 7inch TNTs from the same named label, all his! You can say that this kid knows his rock & roll and definitely breathe through it… We lost contact since then (the last time we spoke, had as a cause the Mean Things CD release through my friends Peris and John, Lost In Tyme Records) but til then nada. He relocated from Frantic City France to ; I got married and my two little cavemen that came after while left me with not much time for finding old friends... I'm in a caution this period of re-striking my old punk rock records. This drove me back to his zines and then to an email. Fuck the Mummies, digital age has obviously certain goodies. The Pneumonias and the Mean Things have not much time these days, the Wild Zeros are no more (FUCK, the best garage punk outfit in the DMZ spirits the last ten years, no kidding!) but the Skeptics are still here! A band which at first consisted by him only and started as a killing time 'project' has by now a full line up an' a new kick ass cave punk EP out there through Chickpea Records. Did I have to tell you how good it is? Well I found til the moment these lines been written no reviews 'round the net but if I had to bet my money, I would have say this: There's no way this cavernous thing to be liked by many, so called 'punk' zines (sites included)! It's too dirty, too haunting and too spooky for a generation of 'fans' suppose the Black Keys as 'garage'! Thanks to Tim Warren's sick personality, there's a whole new generation of Stone Age men carrying the torch of 'Back from the Grave' institution. This one's here probably the coolest! Belgium

Scott Morgan Needs Your Help!
Bad news travels fast? I mean it's not THAT bad hopefully, but anytime I hear something for some serious illness or something similar I feel I'm getting something like a knot down my throat… The other day my good friend Colin Bryce (the man behind Mohair Sweets/Black Aces/Drivin' Wheel) informed me for a benefit show about Scott Morgan. I wrote many times here how much RESPECT I have for the MAN! Fuck, a much underrated singer and even more guitarist. I never figured out why the Faces never continued with Scott in Rod's place! They could have been the ONLY band that had the three of the best white "black" throats in rock & roll. And I really don't know how this 'rights owning system' works, but the harsh realities of a legend like Scott Morgan needing benefit shows for the expenses, makes me ANGRY! The least I can do is to 'promote' this show…
You all know as well my repulsion for bloggers asking for donations… I'm not going to expand on this… It's the only time I'll ask or better; beg for your hard earned money… I'm copying here a part of Colin's email for every one of us to understand the situation on health system in the West 'civilized' world…
"The cost of medical care in the
US can be astronomical if you don't belong to a health plan and of course a great many citizens (musicians included) do not have coverage. Hospital bills in the US can completely bankrupt a person. US
Please visit Scott's homepage to find out more and to donate"
You can do your duty here: http://www.scottmorganmusic.
As far for the specific event (click poster to enlarge for details), Colin informed me that the show (obviously) will have "number of things the Rationals played, some Detroit stuff that Scott influenced and was a part of and of course a whole heap of his music over the sound system."I wish pal I was there! You can tape the show of course and let me later 'boot' it, haha! The Drivin' Wheel are kick ass tough R&B band (exactly the way we like our Pub Rock here at WTS HQ), fun has a warranty stamp and your money will go to a definitely good cause!
You can view the Drivin' Wheel in action on youtube here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
I'm sure you all know who Scott Morgan is but it's always a blast checking related stuff by him:

The Kids - "The Kids" (Philips, 1978)
For fans of punk rock this band and this album is a well known classic of the 77 period, maybe the more intimate in Europe leave outside of course the
. Often bootlegged during the 80s and the 90s, was bought by me no less than 3 times! The Kids formed by three teenage savages sometime between 1975 and 1976. The word 'teenage' for punk or garage bands are often used but merely corresponds in reality. Not here sir, cause the Kids had at the time an age line that started from 13y.o. and ended to 16! I believe that the 'Killed By Death' compilations (the Nuggets of punk in a way) spread rapidly Kids' reputation globally and today relish a legendary status, but just like their heroes (mine's too!) Eddie & the Hot Rods, the tough R&B roots was the key element that gave their punky sound the roll it needed and that's why still punk rock bands pick on their songs. Actually three cover Kids tunes was the reason why I had to chase their albums many years ago. I remember I've bought from eBay some Zeros singles and the guy who sold me those sent me as well a tape as a 'present'. It included many things I had (then) to discover such as Fun Things, the Nervous Eaters or the Pagans and it was mixed with 'modern' bands including also my favorite 90s punks, the ferocious Japs Teengenerate, executing no less than three Kids songs! The funny thing's that I own all Kids records now and almost all from Teengenerate but I'm still missing that special one that made look for the Kids in the first place! Anyone sells it? Btw, the good guy behind the cool All I Want blog, have posted the aforementioned 'chase' and I suppose it's a good companion to this post's offer! UK

This is a space 'bout real rock n' roll, created with the hope to promote interest in devil's music! My only intention is to share my passion, entertain and maybe educate. I'm not against file sharing, clearly. A serious music lover won't stop buying records and CDs anyway, even if he/she got 'em on computer files too. If someone owns the rights to these recordings and wants me to remove the links, contact me on the blog's e-mail (see "Want List" window) and I'll do it swiftly. Record labels like the ones you see on the links panel must CONTINUE in any purpose on what they're doing. Help keep those labels going in these difficult times. PS: No time for Re-Ups, sorry (except if the comments panel's packed with such requests), so act quickly.

In our experience, NECi's enzyme is an excellent replacement for the cadmium column on our Seal AQ2 discrete analyzer. It provides us with improved analytical sensitivity, consistently excellent results for our QC/QA check samples, and superior accuracy on certified reference materials, which we analyze regularly as part of our QC/QA program.
"I found the [livestock feed nitrate test] kits easy to use when testing corn silage and would utilize them again."
We have a sense of pride in being involved with this process over the past few years. When I give tours of our lab I explain that we reduce with enzymes and give them a primer on green chemistry ideology. Everyone walks away impressed.
We were interested and impressed with what you and your team have accomplished. You are doing very interesting and useful work in a very creative "can do" way. It was good for us to see aspects of the business and what can be achieved with perseverance, determination, and talent.
NECi test kits worked great for Michigan Tech's Summer Youth Programs for high school students. We studied methods to remove contaminants from water. The test kits allowed the students to learn about nitrate contamination, enzymatic reactions,and methods to remove nitrate. Thank you NECi for your donation and creation of your easy to use kits!
Great Product - we will be purchasing more reagent from you in the future.
Quality is very good. We have been using this product since 2005.

Best Android Calendar App and Its Features
We all live in the modern era where life can get hectic, and it is easy to lose track of time. Android phones have become very popular worldwide, and they offer a lot of features which can help a person organize and be efficient. One of the apps that is being used the most is definitely the calendar app. There are a lot of apps available, the ones that come pre installed, and the ones that can be downloaded via Google Play, Android Market, or some third party. Users are often looking for advanced features that do not come with the device, and therefore, they need to know what is the best Android calendar app which would suit them the most. There are a lot of popular calendar apps, and some of them are Jorte, Sol Calendar, CalenMob, but the best Android calendar app, that offers most features is Sunrise Calendar.
Sunrise Calendar
Android phones come with a pre installed calendar app, which allows the basic users to schedule events, and put up reminders. So, what is exactly that makes Sunrise Calendar the best Android calendar app in the world? Well, one of the most important features is the ability to access the calendar, and make changes from the web. Cloud sync service is also provided. At the beginning, the users can select in which way they want to connect with this device. Some of the ways are via Google, Facebook or Email address. This app comes free of charge.
Sunrise allows more details to be entered every day, but still leaves a lot of available space with its minimalistic design. One of the biggest advantages of Sunrise is that it can be customized very easily. This user friendly interface is the reason many people call Sunrise Calendar the best android calendar app available. It is also available on multiple platforms, including IOS and Android. Among the things that can be customized are colors, themes, backgrounds, font sizes, and widgets.
It is easy to connect Sunrise Calendar with other accounts, and users can connect Sunrise with Google and Facebook as well. The default view shows the upcoming two weeks, and by swiping down, a full month layout is displayed. Under that layout, items are shown in a form of a list. A useful feature can be the weather forecast, which is shown for the next couple of days. Sunrise Calendar uses three day view, instead of a regular five day with most calendars. This may surprise a lot of users at the beginning, but in this way, more information can be shown about the specific dates, and this is a big advantage.
There are a lot of different icons that represent events. After some time, the user will become accustomed to them, and will know the meaning of specific icons, without even looking at the data. One of the problems with this app is that it does not have a search function, but the Sunrise team is working on installing this in one of the next updates.
All these things makes the sunrise app the Best Android Calendar App till today.

Using NodeTool
GETTING A NodeTool WINDOW
To open a new NodeTool window, select the NodeTool option from the Window menu. You can open multiple NodeTool windows if you want to view different levels of the scene hierarchy at the same time.
The most important thing to understand about working with NodeTool is that nodes are just GameObjects. To get a feel for this:
- Create new a NodeTool window and dock it to the editor.
- Open the scene file at NodeTool/Examples/Conversation
- Select the GameObject named Conversation in the Hierarchy window.
- Press the Step Into button at the upper left of the NodeTool window.
You should now see the children of Conversation displayed as nodes. Select one, and notice how the same GameObject is represented in three different places: the Hierarchy, the Inspector, and NodeTool. Also notice that selecting an object in the Hierarchy selects it in NodeTool and vis versa.
When you have any single GameObject selected, pressing the Step Into button makes that node the new head GameObject and displays its children as nodes. You can also step into a node by right clicking over it and selecting Step Into from the context menu.
The Step Out button will switch the head GameObject to the parent of the current head GameObject.
To pan around the NodeTool window, hold the middle mouse button and drag. If your mouse doesn't have a middle button, hold alt and drag.
You'll also find several navigation tools in the upper right corner of the window.
Clicking anywhere on the mini-map will jump to that location. Hitting the Origin button will jump back to the origin. To jump to a specific node, select it in the Hierarchy and clicks the Center on Selection button.
Creating new nodes
While you can create nodes manually by creating GameObjects and attaching components to them in the inspector, this can become tedious. To remedy this, NodeTool includes a quick Creation Menu that makes this process much faster. To create a node with the Creation Menu, right click on an empty part of the window and select a type. This will create a new GameObject at the current level of the hierarchy and attach a component of that type.
To avoid overwhelming you with too many options, the Creation Menu only displays object types that have been decorated with the HBD.NodeTool.ShowInNodeToolAttribute. The constructor for this attribute takes an optional path string argument that you can use to group node types under submenus. For example, the StickyNote node has the following implementation:
Making connections
Any object reference field that expects a subclass of MonoBehaviour, a GameObject, or a UnityEngine.Object will be drawn with an out going connection circle.
To connect that field to another node, click down in the circle and drag out the connection. Compatible targets will turn green. If you release the mouse over one of these, a connection will be made. To break a connection, release the mouse while the connection is over the window or an incompatible target.
Note that aside from the connection circle, the object reference fields on nodes are the same as those in the Inspector. You can drag and drop objects into them just like any other object reference field.
Groups and exported components
If you find yourself with too many nodes, you may want to group a bunch of nodes together under a new parent node. To do this, hold shift and drag a selection box over all the nodes you want to group. Then right click on one of the nodes and select the Group option.
The grouped nodes will be parented to a new group node and any components that the nodes remaining at the current level reference will be "exported" on the group's GameObject. This means that the component is drawn both on the node for the GameObject to which it's attached, and the group node, which is the parent of that GameObject
Sometimes it's convenient to view a parent node on the same level as its children. You can do this with a Parent Proxy. To create one, right click on an empty part of the window and select the Create Parent Proxy option. The created node represents the parent, allowing you to easily make connections from its components to those of its children and vice versa.
Deleting the Parent Proxy has no effect on the actual parent, or any object references. It is purely a cosmetic convenience. You can also make these types of connections by dragging objects from the Hierarchy or the Inspector into object reference fields.
You may notice that when you step into a GameObject for the first time, NodeTool will attach a script called NodeTransform. This script merely keeps track of a node's position, size, and other meta-data. It has no Update loop and will not affect performance. If you later decide you don't want to use NodeTool with your objects, you can remove these from a hierarchy by selecting the parent GameObject and choosing the "Remove NodeTransforms" option from the GameObjects menu at the top of the screen.
the examples
The example's I've included are intended to show you the types of things that NodeTool makes it easy to build. They also demonstrate a common pattern in Unity that is especially useful when working with NodeTool: the head of a hierarchy has some control object, while its children represent the data on which it operates.
In the state machine example, the StateMachine component at the top level operates on the State components of its children. Similarly in the conversation example, the Conversation component at the top level does all of the bookkeeping, functioning as an interface to the data contained in the CharacterSays and MultipleChoice components of its children.

I left my redoubt at the Gryphon house in 1966 to study classical rhetoric and teach public speaking at the University of Illinois, but left after one year to look at language though another discipline, moving on to Harvard where I received a Ph.D. in linguistics concentrating on American Indian languages. My first research was on the Ojibwe (then usually called Chippewa) language of the Anishinaabe people as spoken in my home state of Minnesota. I studied with Naawakamigookwe "Middle of the Earth Lady", Maude Kegg, an elder on the Mille Lacs reservation, was adopted by her family, given the Ojibwe name Biidaanakwad "Approaching Cloud", and assigned Migizi "Bald Eagle" as nindoodem "my clan". I'm still studying this language and learning, as I am instructed by Anishinaabe elders, how to honor my name.
I've taught anthropology, linguistics and American Indian/Canadian Native studies, the last including Ojibwe and Cree language, language planning, ethnohistory, oral literature, and art history, at several American and Canadian universities in Anishinaabe country, most recently at the University of Manitoba where I was University Distinguished Professor of Linguistics and the University of Minnesota from which I retired in 2015 as Professor of American Indian studies. I was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada, the National Academy of Canada, for my work on American Indian languages, especially on Ojibwe (Chippewa), Cree, Oji-Cree, Ottawa, and Potawatomi, languages of the Algonquian family.
In retirement I continue working with speakers of the languages and in archives to document and describe the languages and oral traditions. I serve as editor of the Ojibwe People's Dictionary, an on-line talking bilingual dictionary at the University of Minnesota, work on which has been supported by the National Science Foundation and the Minnesota Arts and Cultural Heritage Fund. I also serve as an occasional editor of two publication series, the Publications of the Algonquian Text Society and the Memoir Series of Algonquian and Iroquoian Linguistics.
In the spring of 2016, I was invited to lecture at Hamilton and Colgate on my work in the digital humanities and the documentation of the Ojibwe language. I was happy to find American Indian studies well-represented at both of these institutions in Haudenosaunee country and the digital humanities a focus of interest at Hamilton.
I'm traveling in retirement too. I'm writing this in Santa Fe on a break during a swing around national parks in the West and I'm off to Japan and Taiwan next fall.
I still trying to figure out how Algonquian languages work and how best to make what I have learned about them available to the indigenous communities and others outside the university.

Are you continually searching for books to add to your Kindle wish list? Maybe you're in need of a good summer read for your next vacation or pool day? We asked several TSCPA members which books they would recommend for students or young CPAs who are just beginning their accounting career journey. Check out the reading material they recommend for inspiration and motivation in both your career and personal life:
Kathy Kapka, CPA, TSCPA Chairman and Senior Lecturer of Accounting at The University of Texas at Tyler
- American Gods by Neil Gaiman
Kathy says: "I am currently reading [this book] for the second time, and am enjoying it all over again! This novel is fiction, but also very thought-provoking. The story line is about a man who finds himself lost in life without a rudder and the people he encounters who are not what they seem. It's a satire about the human condition that is masterfully written. Anyone who is approaching change in their life, whether it's starting college, a new job or moving to an unfamiliar place, will benefit from reading this novel!"
Kim Turner, CPA, Chief Audit Executive for the Texas Tech University System
- Switch: How to Change Things When Change is Hard by Chip Heath and Dan Heath
Kim says: "Change is inevitable, but it can be scary to imagine and difficult to accomplish. The authors give us a new way to look at change through numerous real-life examples in which one small thing (the switch) has been the catalyst for huge changes. The book is a fast and engaging read about how one person – no matter their position in an organization – can spur audacious changes at work, at home and in their community."
Ryan Bartholomee, CPA, CFO at Shenandoah Petroleum Corporation
- Total Money Makeover: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness by David Ramsey
Ryan says: "I read this book early on in my career and it helped my wife and I get on the same page financially and to become goal-oriented in multiple areas of our lives. We were not intentional in our finances, even though I knew the right concepts from the finance courses that I took on the way to my accounting degree. Writing down goals and working hard to achieve them helped in my career. I've had doors open for me that I never would have dreamed would come this early on in my career. Stay humble.Work hard. Set goals and track your progress. Be consistent and always be improving your communication skills."
Allyson Baumeister, CPA, Principal in Charge at CliftonLarsonAllen LLP and TSCPA Immediate Past Chairman
- Jeremy Fink and the Meaning of Life by Wendy Mass
Allyson says: "Please don't let the fact that this is a book for tweens stop you! Jeremy and his best friend Lizzy travel across Manhattan, from flea markets to fancy office buildings, searching for keys that will unlock an odd box left to Jeremy by his father. They find adventure and maturity along the way. One of my all-time favorites!"
- Good to Great by Jim Collins
Allyson says: "One of the best business books ever written! Jim Collins and a team of researchers studied 6000 articles, generated more than 2,000 pages of interview transcripts and created 384 megabytes of computer data over a five-year period. Their goal was to determine why some companies achieve the level of great, while most only make it to good, or fail in the effort altogether. Their findings can be applied by anyone."
Tim Pike, CPA, Partner at Howard LLP
- The Celestine Prophecy by James Redfield
Tim says: "This book discusses various psychological and spiritual ideas as the main character undertakes a journey to find and understand a series of nine ancient manuscripts in Peru. This book has several philosophical considerations that can be applied to life. When I first read this book, it opened my eyes to considering various points-of-view before forming conclusions."
- The One Minute Manager by Kenneth H. Blanchard and Spencer Johnson
Tim Says: "Ultimately, this book provides techniques to increase productivity, job satisfaction and personal prosperity. As the title suggests, it promotes the 'less is more' approach. I chose this book because, despite references in the title, there are several cross-lessons that are crucial to becoming an effective leader in an organization, whether you're a seasoned professional or a student in an undergraduate program."

Fujifilm announces the European launch of a new super-wide format platform called the Acuity Ultra, with its first showcase being held at Fujifilm stand D50, Hall 2.2 at the FESPA Global Print Expo 2018 in Berlin in May. Representing the culmination of an extensive market research to understand the needs of super-wide format producers today and the challenges they will face tomorrow. This latest addition to the Fujifilm Acuity range is unlike anything currently available on the market. It forms a key part of Fujifilm's industrial strategy, offering increased size and quality to make the production of high-end interior graphics much more profitable. Built around Fujifilm's UV cured inkjet technologies, it offers almost photographic levels of quality with tighter registration and higher production speeds, at a cost that is set to shake up the super-wide format marketplace.
Kevin Rhodes, marketing applications manager, Fujifilm Speciality Ink Systems, commented: "The Fujifilm Acuity series has long been known for its quality and reliability and, by adding this super-wide model to the range, we are now also offering customers a big step-up in quality and productivity. With the extra width, the option to print on three rolls simultaneously and the ability to print at high speeds with no compromise on quality, the Acuity Ultra will appeal to larger businesses and major luxury brands, helping them to boost production levels and profitability in this highly-competitive sector."
"With a 3pl drop size ensuring the highest possible quality, the Acuity Ultra is ideal for the high-end indoor display market, especially for luxury brands, with the quality comparable with litho and leading water-based ink systems. Based around conventional UV technology, it also runs at much higher speeds than LED cured machines. But as the vacuum table is efficiently water-cooled, there is not an excessive build-up of heat on the print plate, meaning no shrinkage," said Rhodes.

Why My Armpits Sting When I Breastfeed
Breastfeeding is one of the most loving acts a mother can do for her child. It has innumerable benefits beyond nutrition, ranging from protection against infections to the psychological development of the baby and even positively impacts the health of the mother.
Lactaring a newborn carries anatomical and hormonal changes in the mother that can be translated, depending on the constitution and habits of each woman, in discomfort, almost always transient, but that can detract from the important work of breastfeeding. In this article, we answer the question: why do my armpits sting when I breastfeed?
Breast changes during pregnancy and lactation
The breasts are made up of a very important specialized tissue, the ultimate purpose of which is to feed the baby. Each breast is formed on the outside by a nipple surrounded by the areola and by a fold of skin that contains connective tissue, mammary glands and excretory ducts that will carry the milk to the nipple. Its external appearance of soft mass is given by the fatty tissue that conforms, which varies in quantity from one woman to another.
Breast tissue begins to form from the fifth week of embryonic development and will undergo a series of transformations throughout the life of women in terms of size, shape and role. Undoubtedly, the most obvious change, after the increase in size that occurs at puberty, occurs when the breasts fulfill their nutritional function. One of the most obvious changes is the increase in size that begins during pregnancy. In general, breasts weigh about 200 g but when they are producing milk, they can multiply their weight up to 600 or 800 g. This implies that the skin will stretch significantly, which can cause stretch marks to appear and be itchy, a symptom that can be reduced by applying moisturizers or mild oils, such as sweet almonds.
See also How Long Does Breast Milk Last
The nipple will also increase in size and, in addition, the hormones will make the color of the nipple and the areola darker in order that the baby find it more easily to catch the suckling. Since milk production needs the blood circulation, the whole area of the breast will be more vascularized and the blood vessels will be very noticeable through the skin. Montgomery glands are also thickened, which deal with the lubrication of the skin of the breasts.
Why do my armpits sting when I breastfeed? causes
In normal conditions, when adulthood arrives, the breast tissue is located from the axilla to the breasts properly. This branch is known as Spence Tail, axillary process or superoextreme tail. Certain studies claim that it exists in 95% of women. This breast tissue is connected to the central mammary system and reacts like the rest of the breast to the hormonal stimuli, being able to also suffer the same diseases.
This explains in part why the armpits sting when I breastfeed. The itching could be due to a mammary obstruction, mastitis or dermatitis in the area of the Spence Tail . Usually, these diseases affect the nipple and its immediate surroundings but undoubtedly can also occur in that area more distal of the breast. The symptoms that also accompany these conditions will depend on each one:
Dermatitis: Various reasons like use of absorbent protectors, synthetic fiber fasteners, stress, hormones, among others, can give rise to this dermatological condition while breastfeeding. It is characterized by irritation and inflammation of the area by rubbing or an allergic reaction. Usually, some topical treatment is applied.
Breast obstruction: occurs when one of the ducts is blocked with a milk stopper due to sometimes an elongation of time between intake and intake, insufficient sucking or even a poor position of the baby when breastfeeding. It causes burning, pain, inflammation and redness of the area. It can help to decongest the area by applying heat, massaging and changing the baby's position. This occurs most often in the projection of the breast into the armpit.
Mastitis: Failure to relieve the obstruction of the breast can lead to an infection in the area that will be accompanied by an increase in body temperature and increased discomfort. It is necessary to continue implementing methods for the milk to flow, but antibiotics will also be necessary.
Earlier, we also mentioned that the itching in the skin can be exacerbated by the stretching of the same due to the increase of size of the breasts. On the other hand, the levels of hormones in women increase as the baby is having higher requirements of milk derived from its development. This hormonal increase can also cause some underarm itching as a reaction of the body, it happens because the breasts adjust the quality and quantity of milk they produce for the infant as it grows. Read article Why Do my Nipples Hurt When I Touch Them?
Malformation of the breasts
In addition to Spence's tail, which is the normal tissue connected to the central mammary system, there are malformations of the breast that are characterized by the presence of residual mammary tissue in the armpits. All residual breast tissue will also be stimulated by female hormones throughout the woman's life. Because of this, it is common for the person to notice that he has residual breast tissue from puberty and especially during pregnancy and breastfeeding when the tissue is activated under the effects of female hormones.
In some women, there may also be traces of this tissue along both milk lines (two bands of glandular tissue located on the sides of the midline of the embryo, whose cells will give birth to the breasts). This residual tissue can develop in different ways, in fact, nipples and residual breast tissue that stimulate and produce milk can also appear, as it will also be stimulated by female hormones. The changes that residual tissue will experience during pregnancy and the nursing period will depend on the type and amount present. These congenital malformations of the breast are frequent and may occur in up to 10% of the population, both in men and women, although they are more frequent in the latter.

This past weekend, the Suburban Collection Expo Center in Novi hosted the annual Motor City Comic Con, and also a Star Wars themed wedding. David Waite and Olivia Vance of White Lake asked guests to dress as Star Wars characters as they exchanged vows at the convention.
According to the Detroit Free Press, the couple met on Facebook 2 years ago, and shared a love of Star Wars, so they decided that a themed wedding was for them. Olivia, the bride, dressed like Padme Amidala, with face makeup and a cloak, while groom David dressed as Anakin Skywalker-complete with a light saber. A boyhood friend of David's conducted the officiating duties.
"It all just tied together, our nerdness and our love of Star Wars," Waite told the Detroit Free Press.
The couple was gifted with a special R2D2 cake donated by Shula's Bakery in Brimley, Michigan:

Everyone is talking about blended learning. It's a known fact that the more choice we offer learners in how they consume learning, the more engagement and knowledge, skills or behaviour change you will have.
When I speak to organisations about blended learning, the enthusiasm and appetite is palpable. The more we talk the more exciting it gets and the possibilities seem endless. We discuss ideas and general ILT courses suddenly become engaging, mixed media, socially interactive programmes.
Then we move on to the how. Blended learning usually requires a technology delivery platform. We explore the organisations existing platform capabilities, more often than not their LMSs are unable to manage all of the elements associated with the blend. More and more organisations are asking to use our own virtual learning platform to deliver true blended learning programmes, one platform, and all the functionality, all in one place.
So we have the right blend and the right platform, now on to implementation and this is where reality often strikes. The heady ideas of an all singing all dancing programme requires careful thought and management of how, in reality, it will work.
That forum or social media closed group you were going to add to the programme - who is going to manage it? Who will moderate it? Who will answer questions?
Self-curated content that is great for peer to peer learning and harnessing the knowledge of long term employees, do we really want employees uploading their own content? What if they offer incorrect information? How will it be validated? And that virtual session you want to include, who's going to convert the content? Have you got facilitators with virtual delivery expertise? Do you have a conferencing provider?
In my experience, the realisation that a really good and impactful blended programme needs a lot of resource commitment is an instant reality check. Many organisations simply don't have the resource or time to do it. And this is when a downgrade often happens, and that brilliant engaging programme becomes a PDF of pre-course reading, maybe with some eLearning sandwiched between a short classroom session.
But don't despair, you don't have to compromise. You see, we at Bray Leino Learning are blended learning experts. We can help with any of the challenges of deploying and managing a great blended programme.
Need experienced virtual facilitators? No problem. Need an administrator to manage social elements, even if it's only an hour a day? We have it covered. Do you need a robust platform to deliver blended learning? We have one. Do you need content redesigned or parts converted to eLearning? Don't worry we have instructional designers and eLearning developers. We can even shoot video content for you.
So let your blended learning programmes become reality and let us take care of the logistics.
To find out more about how to deliver outstanding blended learning solutions, get in touch with us today.

text: Hot Tips for a Hot Smile You don't have to look hard to see how many people, in 2016, have that perfect smile. Everywhere at the beach, in your shopping centre, at the theatre or on the sidelines at school sporting activities, happy people with perfect smiles are like magnets drawing others to them. Have they been born with better teeth? Very rarely, these perfect smiles are a result of people investing in their teeth and investing in their happiness. The best cosmetic dentistry is helping people achieve their dreams and it is surprising how many people are using cosmetic dentistry procedures are doing it. You might wonder what is different about "Lisa" next door or "Sarah" at the tennis club, chances are they are having a cosmetic dentistry procedure to enhance their smile. Thirty years ago cosmetic dentistry virtually didn't exist, fewer than 10% of patients had any form of what we now regard as cosmetic dental procedures done. A dental crown was applied to fix a broken tooth not to enhance your smile. Now around sixty percent of patients who approach a dentist for the first time are looking for some form of cosmetic dental procedure to enhance their appearance. One of the most sought after procedure types is the use of invisible braces and aligners. The most common of which are Invisalign braces. Certainly Invisalign is just about the hottest thing in smile correction procedures at the moment. Why? Do you remember those old metal braces? They provided a good result when the treatment was completed, but the look and the fuss during the treatment was not particularly patient friendly.

How To Prepare For A Tornado
By stephaniemorris26, 2nd Feb 2012 | Follow this author

Posted in WikinutGuidesEmergency PreparednessHurricanes & Cyclones
Ways to prepare yourself and your family for these devastating storms, and how to deal with the aftermath.
Be Weather Aware
Anytime there are severe storms headed your way it always pays to be weather aware. Everyone should have a weather radio for instances when the power goes out, but while you have power listen to radio and t.v. stations for the latest up-to-date weather information. News channels will almost always interrupt regular programming to bring you the newest information.
Also keep a watch out yourself. Weather radars are not always 100% accurate and sometimes news reporters rely on people calling in to let them know what is actually going on. Watch for a darkening of the skies, especially if it is concentrated in one area, wall clouds, hail, and any dramatic change in winds. Knowing what to look for is possibly the most important part of being prepared.
What you will need to have
As with any emergency it is always good to have a stockpile of things that will be needed in case disaster strikes. A first aid kit is a must in any situation, you will also need water, batteries, flashlights, extra fuel for cars and generators, and plenty of easy to fix non-perishable food items. It can sometimes be days or even possibly weeks before power will be returned to your area, so be prepared for such circumstances.
What to do if a tornado is spotted
When a tornado is spotted in your area take cover as soon as possible! If you have a storm shelter get to it, if not have a designated place in your home you and your family can go to for cover. This place should always be on the lowest level of your home away from all windows. A bathroom or closet is going to be your best choice. Bring pillows and blankets if at all possible to shield yourself from any debris, and I am sure this goes without saying but ALWAYS put your children underneath you! That way if anything does fall or come flying through it is going to hit you first. If there is anything nearby for you to grab onto by all means do so as this can keep you from being sucked into the tornado.
Personal experience
Living in Alabama my whole life I have had several run ins with tornadoes over the years, but nothing will ever compare with April 27, 2011. That is a day that has changed the lives of many all over America. The county I live in was the hardest hit in Alabama even though we didn't get much news coverage. I live in DeKalb County where there was over 30 deaths from one tornado. It was finally categorized as an EF5 and it was over half a mile wide. The link I have provided is a video taken on that day from over 30 miles away on Lookout Mountain. It shows the tornado going from Rainsville to Ider, AL.
To be honest with everyone there is no real way to prepare for such an thing, if you are a religious person all you can do is pray to your God that it does not hit you, or that if it does you at least walk away with your life. Many people I know died in the above tornado, and they took every precaution they tell you to. My family was very fortunate as we watched it pass less than 1/8 of a mile from our house. The pictures I have provided in this article are my actual pictures of the devastation tornadoes cause. Many peoples lives were saved just by simply jumping in their tubs and holding on for dear life. Nobody can understand the destruction these things cause until you have seen it first hand. The picture for this section is what used to be a trailer park half a mile down the road from where I live, 3 people died there. Shelter is the most important part of surviving!

We'd planned a visit to see friends in Eastbourne this weekend just gone. We were to go the beach and back to my friend's house for a barbecue. I wanted to take something I'd made before and something I hadn't. I decided on cornbread as the item I'd made before and Belgian buns which I hadn't.
I've made quite a lot of cornbread before and I always use Betty Crocker's cornbread recipe which you can find here. It's a fairly fool proof recipe, and even when I've come to make it without all the right ingredients I've still managed to make something tasty!
Follow the recipe and you cannot go wrong. It turned out golden brown and really fluffy. Possibly the best I've ever made it.
Now, for the Belgian buns. I had a look at quite a few recipes for this one. I was looking for one that I felt was achievable and wasn't too fussy. I ended up with this one from Sarah James' Tales from the Kitchen Shed blog. Sarah explains the recipe and how she went about it and then gives a simple to read and follow step by step.
There was one thing I did differently with mine. I actually started the dough twice. The first time, I followed the instructions, added all the dry ingredients together before starting to add the wet and mixing it in the K-Mix. The problem I found was that the yeast didn't dissolve and was really bitty in the dough. I binned that batch and started again. This time I mixed the yeast in with the warm milk and allowed it to dissolve before adding it which worked perfectly.
After mixing for the suggested 8-10 mins the dough was ready.
I covered it and left it for around an hour or so to double in size. Once doubled I turned it out into the floured side and rolled it out.
Spread the lemon curd in it.
Then I sprinkled the sultanas on.
After this I rolled it tightly along the long edge like a Swiss roll. Once rolled I found that it was a little bigger than expected so I managed to cut 16 pieces instead of 12.
I laid them out of baking sheets and left for another 30-45 mins to proof for a second time.
Once they'd risen sufficiently I popped them into the oven for about 20 mins.
I was delighted by the results.
For a first go at enriched dough I don't think I did a bad job! My test subjects enjoyed them too.
All in all, we had a fantastic trip to Eastbourne. Great company, amazing weather and tasty food. What more could you ask for?

In a move that is sure to delight the Final Fantasy fans of the world, Square Enix revealed they have a bundle of old school Final Fantasy CDs in the works. These albums are remastered versions of some of the classic Super Famicon games, with the first one being Final Fantasy IV: Original Soundtrack Remaster Version.
The CD is slated for a July 3 release and will set itself apart from the 5,000 over renditions of IV's soundtrack by including remastered Super Famicon arrangements of songs such as "The Theme of Love," "The Red Wings" and "Battle with Golbez's Four Fiends." On top of that, first-print copies will have a Yoshitaka Amano illustrated cover — that in itself is a fanboys wet dream.
Later in the year, Square has plans to release these remastered compositions for Final Fantasy V and VI, as well. So be on the lookout for those in the coming months.

One of my latest fun things to do is alter little wooden frames ($1-2 at Michaels). They make great economical gifts!
This first girlie one I did using Pion Design Papers with Prima lace and a handmade flower.
Here is another one I made for a baby boy picture with rustic style Tattered Angels glimmer chips and crochet accents.
Lastly, I did a gender neutral one using Prima papers and flowers. I added some crochet baby booties and a little picket fence for a more cozy home feel.
I hope you enjoyed the projects today!


text: Is Shane Turning Heel? No, He's Just the Boss The WWE has got a lot of mileage out of the McMahon family as the onscreen bosses. Vince—Mr. McMahon in the ring—as Stone Cold Steve Austin's greatest enemy, and Stephanie McMahon with husband/WWE C.O.O. Triple H manipulated Raw to stack the deck against Daniel Bryan and countless others. Now, Shane McMahon is running the same game, plotting the humiliation, punishment and sacking of Kevin Owens and Sami Zayn on Smackdown Live. The tricky part of that he's plays a faces, and those are all shitty things to do. Read more about Is Shane Turning Heel? No, He's Just the BossAdd new comment

Rocamboles are praised for their resounding taste, often lauded as the "true" garlic flavor, and Blanak is no exception. This Bulgarian variety produces sizeable pearlescent cloves with a fresh and fiery aroma to match the taste. Easily-peeled, and great in salsa or pickling, Blanak is sure to satisfy your garlic desires. Also great roasted, and stores well in the cold!

Just for fun, I called up War Child on the Monday morning, to ask about VIP tickets. "Oh, yeah, 500 Pounds each? So unfortunate they're all sold out... yes definitely put my name down on the list in case you get any more." I hung up the phone, wincing. I may be insane, but not quite insane enough to spend 75% of a month's rent on a Coldplay ticket, when I'd already seen them twice in the past two months. Maybe if I hadn't gone to the NME Awards. Imagine my surprise when War Child emailed me back two hours later saying they'd just had some come available, at 250 each. I debatated it for about ten seconds, before my common sense kicked it, and I emailed back to say that unfortunately I'd not realised that the show was taking place after the BRIT Awards, and that it was a bit late for me. I could feel the dishonesty radiating from my body.
Undeterred by my lack of funds, the freezing weather and the fact that the show started at 11pm, I hit up Gumtree in the hopes of finding someone with an face-value ticket. I don't support buying from touts, but I do believe it is okay for a geniune fan to purchase a face-value ticket from another human being. My prayers were answered in the form of a woman called Susan-who-was-actually-her-son-whose-friend-couldn't-make-it.
Strolling around near the O2 at 7pm, I kept an eye out for celebrities attending the BRIT Awards that evening, though I only managed to spot Carl Barat from the Libertine (who did not return my greeting as he walked from the car park) and a massive Hummer-limo contraption that could only have belonged to Rih Rih or the Bieb. And so 8pm saw me standing outside the Slug and Lettuce, still shivering in my lace dress and heels because I will never learn to dress appropriately for the English winter.
It was a surreal moment, when the screens inside the restaurant flipped to the live television coverage of the BRITs, and Coldplay blasted onto the stage with Hymn For The Weekend. How weird to think that this was all happening a few meters from where I was standing - just on the other side of that wall!
After a few hours in the queue, we were let into the tiny venue that is the Indigo club, where I had never been, despite literally being able to see the O2 from my bedroom window. I wish I could say that I was getting used to seeing Coldplay in such small venues, but it's not something one can ever really get used to. Despite the rumour of the Bieb being the opening act, it transpired that the opening act was really a duo of DJs, playing a very interesting mix of what may have been BoB Marley and rave. When they did play a Bieber song, 20 minutes before showtime, it was evident that most of the audience must have heard the same rumour I had. But no, definitely no Biebs were present.
By now one thing that was becoming familar was the tension in the air as soon as the audience glimpses the brightly coloured stage decorations that mark the A Head Full of Dreams era. And so, after a short introduction to War Child and their cause (which you can donate to by visiting their website) the band in question erupted onto stage with none other than the title track from the new album. Ah, Chris. (And the rest, of course, I mean it's not like I'm in love with him or anything). So full of smiles and grins and happiness. I saw him described somewhere as "a happy little jelly bean" and that's exactly how he's coming across tonight. I'm ecstatic at the appearance of 'Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall', and I'm screaming along to 'waaaaaaaaaaterfall' at the top of my lungs, having entirely forgotten to pretend to be cool for the sake of my concert buddies, who I met three hours ago. 'Charlie Brown' is a highlight once again, it is an utterly euphoric song to experience live, and never fails to astound me. Coldplay is an experience rather than a band.
I'm holding my breath for 'Hymn For The Weekend' but as they've already played it at the BRITs ceremony, I'm not sure if we'll get it. But, oh boy do we get it! Chris flails around the stage in his typical endearing manner, and although I can tell he's not taking himself seriously at all, his vocals are flawless. The award for Best British Band is so well deserved that it's almost laughable. Can any other band even begin to touch this? 'Fix You' is always the emotional highlight, but this time I went to pieces during 'Viva La Vida' because the true weight of the situation hit me - this album had gotten me through a very rough year - 2008 - and there had never even been one bone in my body that had believed that I would come out of it okay, and that I would be seeing this phenomenal band so close to my home, on a casual Wednesday night. I was pretty glad that The Scientist did not make an appearance - despite being my favourite Coldplay song; my makeup wasn't waterproof.
After 'A Sky Full of Stars' (cue stooping to stuff my handbag with more confetti - I'm aiming to have enough to paper my walls by the end of the year), the band left and came back for an encore in the form of perhaps the most unexpected song (I'd have called Magic, Everglow or Up & Up here). "This is a song we wrote in 2005 - we gave it to Justin Beiber, well he was only 3 but he knew he wouldn't like Coldplay very much" Chris quipped affably. "But really, we wrote this song for Johnny Cash - it's called Til Kingdom Come". I gasped audibly and fumbled for my camera to record it. Ever since I'd first heard that the song was written for Johnny, I've always imagined him singing it, but of course Coldplay do it flawlessly.
And so that was that - it was 12.30am on Thursday, I had to be at work on the other side of London in less than 8 hours, it was below zero degrees, but I was skipping home. The next day I would realise that my voice had been decimated, and I'd be unable to speak properly for at least three days. I'd live on coffee to get me through work for 9 hours, but I'd wax lyrical about this show for about 90 years. I could easily not have gone - saved myself 80 quid and gotten an early night, but that's not the way I choose to live.

The Smoking Practices Of Native Indians
For thousands of years many different varieties of tobacco have grown in the Americas and at least three (N. attenuata, N. Bigelovii and N. glauca) of these were smoked by the Native Indians. The smoking of tobacco for these indigenous peoples was more of a ritual than a general pleasure like it is for most cigarette users these days.
The native Indians didn't cultivate their tobacco leaves in the conventional sense but they did throw seeds on the fertile ground in the hope they would produce a harvest for their needs. They didn't irrigate their crops, but relied on the heavens to provide the water needed and gave a helping hand in the growing process by doing a little weeding.
The harvested leaves were dried in a variety of different ways depending on the traditions of the particular tribe involved. Many of their original practices survive today in the production of the nicotine products now so popular in the West such as rolling tobacco, cigarettes, and the increasingly popular e cigarette.
The Indians used pipes in their ritual tobacco smoking which were generally made from soapstone and/or wood. It was a practice in which only men and women "doctors" who did many of the same jobs in the society as the men.
Because the native Indians only smoked tobacco on rare occasions it didn't cause the same problems in terms of health as it does in the nicotine addicts of today, seen across the USA and the rest of the world. In fact smoking was actually used as a medicine these early societies for problems such as toothache and earache.

New Customer?
At Willowbrook we manage our farm according to the principles of natural, welfare friendly farming. We strive to provide a totally chemical and pesticide-free haven. We do not place profit before the wider environmental needs and we have invested in developing a vibrant ecosystem, that can sustain a wide variety of plant and animal life for its own sake.
We feel natural farming should also include the sustainable production and use of energy. On the farm we strive to limit oil dependency and have installed wind and solar energy systems alongside our bio-mass heating system which provides our heating and hot water.
Over the years we have built all the structures on the farm and have sought to use simple self-build techniques and natural materials. This culminated in the completion of our Earthen (Cob) farmhouse in 2015. Constructed entirely of natural materials mostly drawn from the farm itself and built by us and a host of volunteers.
The production of food, energy, and buildings, highlighted to us the need to address how our waste is handled. We have installed waste treatment systems for all of our human waste, from the compost toilets to a large bio-disc treatment system for the main cob farmhouse. In addition we compost all green matter and strive to reduce our use of plastics.
Through all of the above activities we believe we are contributing to the development of an alternative economy, where nature is valued, produce is reared with respect, and responsibility is taken for our energy use, our waste and our buildings. This type of approach relies on local relationships, with our customers, our suppliers, our volunteers and the local community in general. It is only by taking responsibility together than we can hope to make a positive change.
