The Pittsburgh Penguins continued to show their defensive skills during their win over Buffalo 4-1 on Saturday.
Sidney Crosby and Chuck Kobasew both scored in the first, Chris Kunitz added a penalty shot in the third and Craig Adams scored his second goal of the season on an empty netter late in the third. At this point Crosby, Kobasew, and Adams are all on pace for 82-goal seasons. If you enjoy making fun of the Philadelphia Flyers as much as us you'll know that the Flyers are on now 0-2 and Claude Giroux is on pace for a zero point season.
The Penguins, on the other hand, only allowed 14 shots through two periods (five in the second) and are really displaying a new sense of responsibility in their own zone. It seems the team has traded in their usual glitzy offense for a more careful approach. Once again Robert Bortuzzo and Olli Maatta looked really good, Maatta even getting compared to Sergei Gonchar by one of our blogging friends, Jesse Marshall of Faceoff-Factor.
Fleury, was brilliant for the second straight game, going 1:15:06 without allowing a goal, the longest shutout streak for the beginning of the year in franchise history. Fleury previously held the record with 66:00 in 2006-07. So far Fleury has stopped 47 out of 48 of the shots he face this season and leads the NHL in save percentage.
The Penguins showed a lot of discipline up front by the net blocking the puck on multiple occasions but it is Fleury that has looked confident and poised while playing. Bylsma summed it up best stating: "When it has been difficult, there have been breakdowns or chances, [Fleury] has been up to the task and has been really solid."
The Penguins have opened up 2-0 for the third straight season and will try to make it 3-0 on Tuesday at 7:00 PM against the Hurricanes at CONSOL.

It turned out FANTASTIC!! Great job! :D Stay tuned every Monday for a D.I.Y on my blog. Happy crafting!ReplyDelete
For some reason I think these would look really cute if they were aranged in some way on like a table, kind of bunched together or something and then with candles on top of them. Which may not be a safe suggestion. They are cute though and they look good hanging like that!ReplyDelete

'Theft of Swords' – Michael J. Sullivan (Orbit)
It took Orbit's acquiring of the series (they're releasing two book omnibus editions over a period of three months, starting last month with 'Theft of Swords') to get me on board and my recent trip to Malta pretty much sealed it as I was looking for something fairly chunky to get my teeth into. As it happened, I couldn't get anywhere near 'Theft of Swords' as my wife swiped the book and wouldn't let me read it until we got back home. I've finished it now though and you can expect to see more about Sullivan's books on this blog. I couldn't get enough of 'Theft of Swords' and there is no way that I won't be following this series through to its conclusion.
If you need something doing that's a little 'shady' then you could do a lot worse than hire Royce Melborn and Hadrian Blackwater to get it done for you. Royce will steal whatever you want stolen (if it's nailed down then he'll steal the nails too) and Hadrian has his back with his almost supernatural skills with a sword. They're good at what they do, almost too good in fact as their reputation leads them to be set up as the fall guys in a plot to murder the king. Finding the real killer is only the first step in a journey for Royce and Hadrian; journeys that will see them enter into uneasy alliances with the nobility (given the number of nobles that they've stolen from, I'm not surprised they're uneasy...), and uncover hidden history long forgotten, as well as trying to balance fiscal gain with doing the right thing...
When I was little, a lot of the old 'Flash Gordon' pulp serials were re-run for Saturday morning television ('Zorro' as well come to think of it). We're talking life and death cliff hangers featuring larger than life heroes and evil moustache twirling villains going at each other with swords. Absolutely brilliant stuff that I couldn't get enough of when I was six or seven years old.
Fast forward to 2011 and I'm faced with a similar setup in Sullivan's work; light hearted swashbuckling tales that suffer from a couple of issues but never fail to entertain.
'Theft of Swords' contains the first two books in the 'Riyria Revelations' series; 'The Crown Conspiracy' and 'Avempartha'. I couldn't help but find myself wishing that I'd read each book in its individual format. When two books are published in one edition, you've got a pretty good idea about who is going to make it through book one. It's very clearly a publishing decision and not Sullivan's fault at all, but a little bit of the tension bled out for me here. Balancing this out though is the work that Sullivan clearly does to set things up for the next four books. Both 'The Crown Conspiracy' and 'Avempartha' are relatively self contained books, and can be read on their own (thanks to clever use of the 'a couple of years later' approach), but it's a measure of Sullivan's commitment to this series that he's setting up future events at the same time. Admittedly this is more the case in 'Avempartha' than the 'Crown Conspiracy' but all credit to Sullivan for essentially writing a book that's two things all at once. I like that.
Once you really get into it, 'Theft of Swords' is chock full of the kind of swashbuckling action that makes for a thoroughly entertaining read. Whether our heroes are stuck in a crumbling tower or facing off against an unseen monster in dark woods, Sullivan makes us fully aware of what's at stake and gives us a rousing journey through the conclusion. We're talking about the kind of situations that had me seriously considering missing a few stops on the tube so I wouldn't have to wait and see what happens. I would say though that Sullivan's writing, in these instances and a couple of others, left me in two minds about how effective it was. Sullivan opts for plain speaking which does press home just how urgent things can be. At times though, I felt his plain speaking was a little too plain and didn't really do a great job at fleshing out the background that these scenes took place against.
I guess what you could say here is that the story isn't really about the background as such, not yet anyway (and like I said, hints are dropped that likely won't come to fruition until later books in the series). 'Theft of Swords' is more about the characters and here, Sullivan gives us a cast that I couldn't help but root for.
You might feel like you've met Hadrian and Royce in many other fantasy novels; I certainly felt that way but the jury is out for a little longer at least. Sullivan is up front about playing to familiar tropes but a couple of the surprises that he includes in the plot suggest that he's not averse to turning things on their head when he feels that the plot would benefit. My feeling is that we can expect some of that from one of the two leading characters. Things are certainly left vague enough, at the end of 'Avempartha', to suggest that interesting possibilities lie ahead.
In the meantime, Sullivan plays 'Theft of Swords' as the fantasy equivalent of a 'buddy movie' and you get the impression that you are listening in on an old friendship established over some years. Hadrian and Royce know each others little foibles and aren't afraid to mix these with a little levity here and there; the end result being another reason to get behind these two men as they seek to extricate themselves from the machinations of those in power.
'Theft of Swords' is a book of dark mysteries waiting to be solved by a lock pick and a strong sword arm. That's the promise and Sullivan delivers on that, I can't wait to read more.

Esrahaddon FTW. Just sayin'
So glad you liked it brother. It's a fantastic series, and Sullivan is a really humble guy about the whole thing.

Cheers to 2013!!
Year's end is neither an end nor a beginning but a going on, with all the wisdom that experience can
instill in us. -Hal Borland
2012, what a year! A great year! Reconnecting and forming closer bonds with family, meeting new friend's/reconnected with old ones, career firsts: planned 1st NY fashion week presentation, quoted in a west coast trade newspaper. It's had a few difficult moments: friendships/relationships deteriorating, and overcoming self doubt, something that was a constant battle this year. I am grateful for my family and friend's and the experiences I had with each of you.
As with any year, I'm leaving 2012 feeling a changed, evolved. I did a lot of growing this year and feel more a sense of self than I did NYE 2011. I am going into 2013: wiser, stronger, and honest (with myself and those around me) than I was a year ago, it is a great feeling to have. If you are not growing from your experiences then what's the point? Right?
I am spending NYE at..... HOME yes the first time in a long time actually. I decided to take it easy as I have been battling a cold for the past few days. I'm feeling better but not 100% yet (which is why there were no outfit posts this week). I'm watching True Blood, then pouring myself a glass of moscato. It is nice to take it easy, there are busy weeks ahead: outfit posts for the blog, photoshoot for a new launch at work, promoting the new launch, planning a NYFW event, attending my first movie premiere, and attending to my first Knicks game at the Garden. All in January and February!
Happy New Year to my lovely readers!
instill in us. -Hal Borland

|The ideal way to work and survive online - dual screens!
Firstly for those who don't know how this works, and considering you may have looked at twitter and seen either nothing if you just had an account but no friends in it, or if you looked at the full live stream of 10's of millions of tweets/posts. To make a work-around so that people without any real connection could interact, and also so that 'trends' could take place, the use of special tags (hashtags) are utilized.
How do you use it? In short, just tag a specific word with the # before it. For example, in my hobbies, I rock climb a lot, so I'd add the hashtag #climbing or #training (or both). Other major examples. during the major Iranian protests a year or so ago, everything took place under the hashtag #iranelection. You'll also notice on the Twitter homepage that they always have links to the "trending topics" - this is actually taken from the hashtags that people use!
The idea of an education-based discussion started up at some point in the USA (under the term 'edchat'), but to facilitate users in the UK and the different timezone, a new version was created with the hashtag #ukedchat - a much better description and explanation of it all can be found here also.
I've always wondered since looking at these in the past few months - would something like this work with pupils? I know quite a few of them have Twitter accounts now so would it be possible to get them to interact in a discussion (perhaps a different one per subject one or two nights a week). There'd have to be some liasons potentially so that topics were similar but would it work?

I think that will be my mantra for the next 9 weeks.
That, and Proverbs 3: 5-6.
Trust in the LORD with all your heart
and lean not on your own understanding;
in all your ways submit to him,
and he will make your paths straight.
This semester has been trying. School and a new internship that keeps me busy (doing what I love doing with women I enjoy working with so so much). I can't complain because I'm so fortunate to have these opportunities. And the point of this post really isn't to complain, although I'm sure it will likely sound like it.
Spending so much time away from the house has taken it's toll... Both on my actual house and on my marriage. Let me clarify and say that Braylen and I are strong and will get past this... Of that, I have no doubts. But to say spending so much time apart over the past two years has been easy and that having our priorities be on work and school instead of each other for a majority of the time (as we know they have to be right now) hasn't worn on us, would just be a lie. We do take time to go out a few times a month, which I know is so good for us. And we do take time to do little things to display how much we care for and love one another. We have a strong relationship, which I am so fortunate to have and know I would be far worse off without it. But in the name of all honesty and truth, graduate school and him working full time (and finishing school also) is hard.
When I get home, he's usually gone already (he works 6PM-6AM). So when he's getting home in the morning, I'm getting ready to leave. Our schedules just don't coordinate. Ever. Ever, ever, ever. Thus is the story for many, and to those of you going through the same thing... It sucks, no? My heart goes out to you because it truly is just plain hard.
Not to mention how disgusting my house is, at the moment. I thought it got bad last year? This semester is outrageous. Neither of us have energy to clean and neither of us have energy to give a damn. Forgive my language, but it's the truth. I wouldn't let anyone in my house right now in the state that it's in. And truthfully, I'm not sure when it will change. It would take me days to make it presentable. My laundry pile has claimed half of my bedroom AND the guestroom. Junk mail has dug roots in various areas of my living room and dining room. Cat hair, dog hair... Well... I don't want to make ruin your day with talk of pet hair. But you get my drift. I'm embarrassed. But like so many other embarrassing truths of mine, here is where I can't hide.
Today was a hard day. But I'll move on.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
Oddly enough, I found solace today in the most unlikely of places: the grocery store. I called Husband on the way home to figure out what we were having for dinner and he was clueless (as was I). So I bit the bullet and finally went to the grocery store. I knew if I didn't go today, I wouldn't go until next week (because I go to a grocery store 20 miles away, which I pass everyday going to/from school but I won't have class again until Monday). Anyways, grocery shopping has become somewhat therapeutic lately. I find that when I'm having a stressful day, the mechanical, methodical-ness of grocery shopping lets me escape for just a moment. Kind of like how some people go tanning or *cough, cough* exercise? Grocery shopping kind of gives me a zen. This time, it was helpful even more so because I knew I bought healthy foods that will help fuel me for the week to come. I knew I stuck within our "safe foods" and within our budget, and did something that will be beneficial for my husband and I.
Basically, I did something right. I made the right choice, even when I didn't want to. When it was the last thing in the world I wanted to do, I did it anyway.
I really need to adopt that in other aspects of my life. (Mainly: exercise and making healthy choices when we're out to eat)
But... What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
And I want to be strong.
'Night y'all.

Bridgeton is a city in Cumberland County, New Jersey, United States, in the southern part of the state, on the Cohansey River, near Delaware Bay. As of the 2010 United States Census, the city's population was 25,349, reflecting an increase of 2,578 (+11.3%) from the 22,771 counted in the 2000 Census, which had in turn increased by 3,829 (+20.2%) from the 18,942 counted in the 1990 Census. It is the county seat of Cumberland County. Bridgeton, Millville, and Vineland are the three principal cities of the Vineland-Millville-Bridgeton Primary Metropolitan Statistical Area, which encompasses those cities and all of Cumberland County for statistical purposes and which constitutes a part of the Delaware Valley.
Similar to other areas near rivers and the bay, this area was inhabited for thousands of years by indigenous peoples. At the time of European contact, Lenni-Lenape Native Americans lived in the area, following a seasonal pattern of cultivation and hunting and fishing. The state-recognized Nanticoke Lenni-Lenape Indians of New Jersey maintain a cultural center here, serving a community of 12,000 in Cumberland, Gloucester and Salem counties.
The first recorded European settlement in what is now Bridgeton was made by 1686 when Richard Hancock established a sawmill here. Settlers established a pioneer iron-works in 1814. Bridgeton was incorporated as a township by an act of the New Jersey Legislature on March 3, 1845, from portions of Deerfield Township. Bridgeton city was incorporated on March 1, 1865, replacing both Bridgeton Township and Cohansey Township.

Doing it with style
After many recent request for responsive multi-level menus I have now converted one of my dropdown menus so that it responds to variations in browser sizes.
The jQuery routine is very simple and just switches in/out specific stylesheet depending on the screen width.
I have removed the jQuery routine as really not necessary, so IE7 and IE8 will not see a responsive menu but will work as a standard multi level menu.
So this is a dropdown menu with top level links that works in the following browsers:
IE9, IE10 & IE10 Touch Screens, Chrome, Safari, Opera, iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch, Android Firefox including Touch Screens, Android Chrome including Touch Screens, Android Opera including Touch Screens, Early versions of all browsers without @media-query support but not responsive.
Because of all the time and effort spent in producing this demonstration I would ask that you respect my copyright.
This demonstration can be used subject to the following terms and conditions.
Your donations keep CSS PLAY running.

A familiar scene that brings back fond memories to travelers who have experienced the pleasures of browsing the famous bouquiniste bookstalls along the Seine River in the heart of Paris---Notre Dame dominates the background, while a lively scene transpires, with a yellow-shirted artist and his easel at left, and a mother and her impatient young child at right, leafy trees framing the activity. The work is on canvas and measures 9" by 10 3/4" (15" by 16 1/2" framed). The artist, Andre Rousseau, signed his name at bottom right. The painting dates to the 1960's.

Budget Eating in Sydney: Best Restaurants and Cafes
Cost of dining in Australia
Australia is not really known for cheap eating, in fact many people would say the opposite; that it is an expensive place to eat especially compared to somewhere like the United States. Then there is Sydney which is considered an expensive place to eat, even by Australian standards. Just because many people think that, it doesn't mean that there are no cheaper restaurants, it just means that they did not know where to look.
Although for the main part, Sydney is an expensive place to eat out, there are places that are cheaper than most and although they still may not be prices as low as what you are used to; they are far cheaper than most other Sydney eateries.
Fond Favorites
Once you know exactly where to go, eating can become cheaper in Sydney and so here are a few favorite hangouts for value for money. If you don't mind a long queue for breakfast The Grounds of Alexandria, Alexandria is worth the wait or try a breakfast at Copo Café & Diner in Drummoyne for a South American style. For those with a sweet tooth for cream cake and pastries, the Black Star Pastry, Newtown is a must or try Gelato Messina, Darlinghurst for some great gelato creations. Vegetarians will like Bread & Circus, Alexandria for breakfast, salads or sandwiches or Nourishing Quarter, Redfern for a Thai slant on veggie. The Via Napoli, Lane Cove or Pizza Mario are a must for pizzas, whilst if dumpling parcels filled with hot broth and pork are you thing, then you must try Din Tai Fung in Chinatown.
Even though you may want to eat fairly cheaply in Sydney you do not have to compromise on variety as there are many budget dining places to be found, serving a variety of different menus. Obviously though, as the whole of Sydney seems to be going through a phase where it cannot get enough Vietnamese food, the cheaper establishments also reflect that.
Vietnamese Food
For those who would like to eat Vietnamese food, here are some places that offer value for money. Miss Chu, Circular Quay, Opera House Kitchen is perfect for grabbing a bite whilst on a visit to the Sydney Opera House and a main course should cost under $15. Phamish, Darlinghurst is a very busy restaurant but it is worth hassle for a table, with a main course costing under $20. Dragon Den, Darlinghurst is perhaps the ideal place for lunch, which can cost under $13. It is a fast paced restaurant but has additional seating upstairs. Bay Bua, Potts Point is a Vietnamese restaurant but certainly has a French influence, yet serves a main course for under $20.
Thai Food
Although perhaps not so popular in Sydney, Thai food can be equally as exciting and there are also some reasonably priced restaurants. Home, Chinatown serves some very spicy curries as well as some tasty Soft Shell Crab and a main course can cost less than $25. Chat Thai, Chinatown is probably the flagship for Thai food in Sydney but guests are entertained watching the open grill whilst waiting for a table. They have excellent signature desserts and a main course can cost under $25.
Burgers and Sandwiches
Every body enjoys a good burger or sandwich, especially if they are on the 'go'. Here are some of the cheaper places to find good ones. Grill'd, Pyrmont take pride in their burgers with good results. Whether trying Lamb, steak or chicken burgers don't forget the hot fries salted with Rosemary for which they are well known. A large burger here can cost under $12. Charlie & Co Burgers, City Center, here they are more like gourmet burgers than usual burgers, serving such things as Chili Crab Burgers and a perhaps rarity for Australia; onion rings. Here a burger can cost under $20 and toasted sandwich under $15. Big Bite On Pitt, City Center is a popular place that serves monster sandwiches. One of the favorites here is a chicken schnitzel with lemon chive mayonnaise. All sandwiches here cost $8. Vanto, City Center is a great place for lunch, serving sandwiches with food cooked in a wood burning oven. Also serving good coffee, lunch can cost under $20.
There are of course a vast assortment of eateries in a City the size of Sydney and some of the other choices of foods are served at : Chef's Gallery, Chinatown serving Chinese food with a main course costing under $20. Plan B, City Center serves a variety of food but as it gets very crowded, a take-away lunch can be a good idea for under $15. Le Grand Café, City Center serves up French classics like croissants and quiche Lorraine. Once again lunch can cost under $15.
So although Sydney can be more expensive to eat than many other places, it doesn't have to cost that much if you know where to go. Neither do you have to limit your choice of food in order to comply with your budget.

The Woodworks
The Woodworks Architectural Millwork, Inc. was founded in 1985. With a one million dollar capital investment in the shop, the company has flourished since. In 1994, the company became both National and New England members of the Architectural Woodwork Institute. The Institute is a nonprofit trade association that was founded in 1953, and recognizes woodworking talent. Since conception, the company has prided itself in the fact that not one project has been left incomplete.
While working with companies to complete projects, the project managers bring a "team philosophy", which entails working with the property owner, general contractor, project manager, architect and other trades as part of a team to provide a superior finished project.
Any questions regarding length of project, restoring existing wood work, quality and cost are handled with great sensitivity to put property owners at ease throughout the whole process.
Project managers use both CAD, computer aided drawings, and free-hand-drawing to produce whatever the architect may imagine. The company's advanced equipment allows the sending and receiving of CAD drawings electronically and the ability to print them in the shop, allowing the company to deal with a customer's concerns immediately. The other advanced pieces of equipment allow the company to consistently be ahead of the competition. With shop tools that include belt sanders, beam saws, and spindle moulders, the company also prides itself in its employees. With a team of fifty, they complete the process, from drafting, to estimating, to assembling, as one unit. They are dedicated to the projects and customers, creative, and do whatever it takes to get the job done well.
In 1994, the company was chosen through a "blind audition" to complete a woodworking project at Seiji Ozawa Hall at Tanglewood, located in Lenox, Massachusetts. The hall, used for the Boston Symphony Orchestra concerts among others, is a true testament of the craftsmanship completed by The Woodworks. With the entire team's help, the project called for over 25,000 board feet of lumber. The types of lumber consisted of Alaskan Yellow Cedar, Teak and Douglas Fir.
The Boston Public Library and the Boston Celtics Wellness Center were also projects that the Woodworks completed. The Library, completed in 1998, allowed the company to display its traditional workmanship. The team assembled and broke down the completed pieces before shipping to enable better coordination with the in-field installers. The Wellness Center was a large project that allowed the Woodworks to show it's versatility. With conservative pieces of cabinetry, the company designed custom casings for audio and video equipment.
For the third time, the Woodworks worked with Cambridge Savings Bank. The project required a great amount of coordination early on, and careful consideration was given. The company tried to maintain the integrity of the project while paying attention to detail. This is proven by the labor intensive design used in constructing the coffed ceiling in the main conference area. Completely hand-tooled and made of a detailed network of hand-made squares, each with wood-trim cornices, the ceiling shows the Woodworks team's patience.The Woodworks Architectural Millwork, Inc. is located on North Wentworth Ave in Londonderry, NH.

I hate change. You can see here & here. How much I dislike change. But for once I am so excited about change! I switched to Self-hosted WordPress!
For awhile now I have thought about blogging. What I wanted to do, where did I want to take my blog? Did I want to quit blogging (the answer yes was thought about a lot.) It takes a lot of time, it takes a lot of thought. Did I want to keep on with this "hobby?" The answer I came up with is yes!
Yes, I know I hate change, but this is an amazing change. A chance for me to grow my blog and make it into the blog I always wanted it to be. A decision that took a lot of thought. Justin supported me, and told me to do what makes me happy, and I am so thankful for that.
Also, thank you, everyone, for sticking with me through this. I know it is a process, but I am so excited to see where this will take me. Also, thank you all for your support! You all are amazing, and the blogging community is full of wonderful people!

Craig Smith from Heritage Evangelical Free Church in Castle Rock, Colorado brings us this brightly colored set for their VBS summer program.
They borrowed and already owned most of the spandex and lighting equipment, so this was a very inexpensive set for them. (Lighting borrowed from Shepherd Project Ministries) They stretched the spandex they had between trusses and floor weights. That allowed them to get those cool shapes. To make the truss sleeves, the had a seamstress from their church sew them together (costing about $10/sleeve).
They purchased bulk spandex from Ebay (always a good idea to have spandex lying around).
Finally, the lights were 3w LED systems that Shepherd Project set up for them and ran with their conference control rig.

The first thing that attracted me to reading John Ironmonger's new novel "Not Forgetting the Whale" was its beautiful cover. Of course, that's a shallow way to choose your next read, but the cover illustration of sea water cascading over a whale with a town in the distance is very striking. The story begins mysteriously enough with the residents of St Piran, a fictional Cornish village, who collectively remember and celebrate an event that occurred fifty years ago. A naked man washed ashore in the harbour of their small seaside village and a whale appeared in the water. The facts of this incident have been stretched and tangled throughout the generations and with multiple retellings. What was once a historical incident has been transformed into a myth with a meaning far beyond itself. This occurrence marked a large shift that occurred in society which nearly brought it to a frightening end: "Sometimes life could do this. It could draw a line. Beyond the line, life would say, nothing will ever be the same. The sun will rise tomorrow but it will rise onto a different world." Yet this village continued on and thrived in a new form. What follows is a highly unusual and thoughtful story about the events which led to this post-apocalyptic point.
Joe is a man on the run. Under duress, this handsome 30 year old fled his life in London where he worked in a prestigious investment bank as a computer programmer. Joe was an instrumental part of developing a program which could predict the rise and fall of the stock market with reasonable reliability. However, the company's director has designs on this program doing much more. When things reach a crisis point Joe drives off into the countryside to randomly wind up in isolated St Piran. Only one main road leads in and out of this quaint village with a population of just over three hundred residents. The village is composed of a cast of characters with their own entertaining quirks and idiosyncrasies. Life has a very different rhythm here from the fast-paced trading floor that Joe is used to: "Time. That's what he was noticing. Time was moving at a different rate here." The inhabitants don't have much interest in news of the outside world because global events have little effect upon them. Little ever changes. In fact it's remarked of one resident that "Demelza Trevarrick had lived sufficient years in St Piran to understand that the tranquillity of the village was almost geological in its permanence." It seems nothing can affect the way of life for this tranquil place – until a deadly flu reaches Britain.
Ironmonger's primary preoccupation in this novel is with the political philosophy of Thomas Hobbes and his emphasis on self-interested cooperation. A crucial test for the resiliency of any government is at a point of crisis where self interest becomes the central motivating factor over any (social or legal) laws because people's survival is suddenly at stake. The author's story presents how events might play out and offers a surprising avenue through which individuals can weather through the challenges which threaten to tear a society down to basics. One resident observes "'A village,' Martha Fishburne would say, 'is more'n a row of houses. It's a whole network of connections.'" Whether they like it or not catastrophic affairs of The State (what Hobbes characterized metaphorically as a monster) come to their doorsteps in quite a literal way as a whale washes ashore and the essentials (food, electricity, oil) of everyday life are cut off from them after the outbreak of a deadly flu. The decision on how to move forward for this group of individuals will determine if they are able to progress as a collective or if their lives will be, as the philosopher famously surmised, "solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short." Caught in the middle of this is Joe whose actions inadvertently inspire the people as a guiding force. The ramifications of his experiences help steer his own personal direction in life, overcoming his estranged family's tumultuous past and rediscovering what he values most.
I really enjoyed Ironmonger's cleverly constructed story. He has a very different approach to the apocalypse tale from Emily St John Mandel's "Station Eleven" which I also read recently. "Not Forgetting the Whale" is more concerned with the way macro systems of society feed down into the micro. Harnessing together some of the most pressing global concerns which make us fear for our collective future, the author proposes a realistic way in which civilization can become unhinged with the loss of only a single, but ultimately essential, part. Rather than focus on the panic and gore which normally attends apocalyptic stories, Ironmonger chooses instead to concentrate on deeper thoughts about how human nature factors in the correlation between individual motivations and social organization. It's an engaging tale which poignantly develops its deeper meanings as it progresses while the history of both Joe and the village are slowly revealed. "Not Forgetting the Whale" creates an entire world which made me reflect upon my own.

I have a friend who is a distant cousin who I have only met once in my life when I was 17. Many years passed and through the years we have corresponded every once in awhile with occasional Christmas cards. I have many fond memories of her and two other cousins I met on that trip long ago and have kept the memories tucked away inside of the special time spent and a connection cemented in my mind.
I had not heard from her in several years and looked every day in the December mail to see if I would hear from her. On her end she was fine and just busy as we all get. One day in December I received an email from her with a precious picture she had drawn of my goat, Mr. Brown. She is an accomplished illustrator and Mr. Brown was such a pleasant surprise! Last week I received a memorial drawing of Fisher who passed away right before Christmas leaving us all a little sad right before the holidays. Happy tears happened upon seeing our sweet Fisher.
Reconnecting has been such a blessing and has filled my heart and made it full. The paintings/drawings of Mr. Brown and Fisher have been the greatest gifts of love from a sweet friend who has only met me once, but "knows" me and that our animals are gifts that we are blessed to take care of on this earth and we love them with all our hearts.
Thank you special cousin and friend. You really DO know me! My life is forever enriched by our life connection.
Are these not the most precious drawings ever? They are my "pride and joys."

On February 27, 2018, South Africa's National Assembly voted, by a large majority of 241 to 83, to "begin a process to amend Section 25 of the Constitution to allow land expropriation without compensation." The Constitutional Review Committee will now review the proposal and advise the National Assembly by the end of August whether the amendment should be made. Should the Constitution be amended, this will allow the government to redistribute — without compensation — the 72 percent of South African farmland currently owned by whites to black ownership.
Cyril Ramaphosa, South Africa's new President, declared in his first state of the nation address last month that his government will "accelerate our land redistribution programme … to redress a grave historical injustice," while Julius Malema, the radical leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters who brought the land expropriation motion, said in his address to the National Assembly that: "The time for reconciliation is over. Now is the time for justice … We must ensure that we restore the dignity of our people without compensating the criminals who stole our land."
Indigenous activists have applauded the vote. As Thami Ka Plaatjie recalls: "The first object of dispute between the Africans and colonialists was based on greed for our land … Successive rapine colonial rule witnessed the loss of African land and the impoverishment of our people." Indeed, South Africa's traditional leaders have called on the government to implement land expropriation without compensation "without further delay." As Limpopo Chief Malesela Dikgale explained: "We want to get the land because it belongs to the people." In his address to the National House of Traditional Leaders, President Ramaphosa affirmed that traditional leaders "should be at the forefront of land transformation in their areas."
However, this Constitutional amendment is likely to not happen quickly. As Ray Mahlaka explains: "If changes to Section 25 — which forms part of the Bill of Rights — impinge on the founding values of the Constitution, then a 75% majority might be required. This might require taking the matter to the courts for a declaratory order." In addition, "expropriation of land without compensation impacts other pieces of legislation that have to be reviewed. These include the National Credit Act and Expropriation Act, which contemplates just and equitable compensation." The final passage of the amendment hence could take years to complete.
The South African land debate is part of the larger worldwide struggle of indigenous peoples for the restoration of their ancestral lands. Unlike individuals from diasporic or settler groups, land is an essential component of the self-understanding of individuals from indigenous communities. This is because the groups which identify themselves as indigenous to the land understand themselves — through their origin myths — to be the descendants of ancestors who originally emerged from the land, giving them a blood connection with their ancestral lands.
As Jacques Lacan (1992) reminds us, interdiction creates desire (pp. 83-84). For indigenous groups who have been dispossessed from their lands, their desire to be restored to their ancestral lands is amplified by the prohibitions against their access. In the absence of legal remedies restoring their traditional rights to the land, such desire can escalate into violence. In Pakistan's Balochistan province, a violent separatist movement has emerged that is motivated in part by the expropriation of indigenous Baloch lands for development by the Pakistani state and foreign investors. In one case, that of the Saindak copper mine, 50 percent of its profits are received by its Chinese owners, 48 percent by the Pakistani state, and the remaining 2 percent by the Baloch provincial government. Thanks to such exploitation by outsiders, "while Balochistan has the greatest share in Pakistan of the country's natural wealth, the province remains the poorest in the country." The separatists hence demand not just autonomy for Balochistan, "but also full control over its natural resources" (Lim, 2017, p. 8).
If the Constitution is indeed amended and land redistribution takes place, the South African banking sector stands to lose up to R160 billion in defaults from existing property loans in the agricultural sector.
There is also a cultural dimension to the desire of indigenous peoples for their ancestral lands. In her seminal work From a Native Daughter, Haunani-Kay Trask (1999) describes the indigenous understanding of the land as a "cultural … bond between people and land" which is enlivened by traditional practices which constitute their "way of living within" their ancestral lands (p. 120). The expropriation by outsiders of their lands hence not only threatens the economic well-being of indigenous groups but their traditional cultures as well. In Balochistan, the separatists have targeted Gwadar Port, which is the southern terminus of the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor (CPEC). For the Baloch, CPEC represents the external force of globalization which threatens their traditional way of life. The danger posed by globalization to the traditional cultures of indigenous peoples arises from its potential to erase "the substantial world of locally rooted objects" and replace it with "a world of objects that is radically disconnected from the local community." In Balochistan, CPEC brings with it a "marketplace of objects" which threatens to "swamp out the smaller number of locally rooted objects which hold substantive meaning for the Baloch" (Lim, 2017, p. 7). As George Ritzer (2003) explains, while locally-rooted objects count as "something" to indigenous groups, given that they are "indigenously conceived, controlled, and comparatively rich in distinctive substantive content," the commodities produced by globalization count as "nothing" as they are "centrally conceived, controlled, and comparatively devoid of distinctive substantive content" (p. 191). The Baloch hence have undergone a double alienation: first from the natural bounty of their ancestral lands, and next from the world of meaning produced by their locally rooted objects.
Turning back to South Africa, the government is keen to avoid the problems that emerged over the past two decades in neighboring Zimbabwe following its disastrous land reform program, which, like the proposed South African program, redistributed white-owned farmland to black ownership, but which led many of the farms falling into disrepair, and which in turn led to a "collapse in agricultural production that led to Zimbabwe's economy being wrecked by hyper-inflation, mass unemployment and emigration." The total economic cost of Zimbabwe's land reform was estimated in 2009 to be USD 20 billion, including the cost of "lost export revenues, food aid imports and economic growth foregone."
The ouster of President Robert Mugabe in November 2017 led to a change in Zimbabwe's land reform program, with the goal of the new government to "revive the moribund economy and create jobs." Earlier this year, a white farmer and his black farmworkers were allowed to return to their farm, and the government of the new Zimbabwean President Emmerson Mnangagwa is "offering incentives to Zimbabwean white farmers, who shifted their business to Zambia at the height of the controversial land reform programme … to return to Zimbabwe," albeit on farmland distributed on 99-year leases, with possible compensation for their lost farmland.
President Ramaphosa hence has specifically highlighted that the proposed land redistribution program in South Africa will avoid any Zimbabwe-style "collapse in agricultural production" by bringing in "more producers into the agricultural sector," and by making "more land available for cultivation." However, the uncertainly brought about by the prospect of land expropriation without compensation could already have had some economic effects, for given the possibility of major change in South Africa's property rights regime, "it does not seem possible for the agricultural sector to receive further investment."
Furthermore, if the Constitution is indeed amended and land redistribution takes place, the South African banking sector stands to lose up to R160 billion in defaults from existing property loans in the agricultural sector, as those farmers who lose their land and are not compensated will not be able to continue servicing their loans. Unlike a normal loan default, the affected bank would not be able to "foreclose on the property, because the state now owns the property." In addition to the land redistribution mechanism, the South African government may hence also have to plan for compensation to the affected banks to avoid any further economic damage.
However, in that scenario, as South African economists Johann Kirsten and Wandile Sihlobo point out, the policy would no longer be one of expropriation without compensation, but would instead be "expropriation with compensation — except that the money goes to the bank not the farmer." In which case, why not compensate the farmers directly? Kirsten and Sihlobo also warn that, if improperly managed, the proposed land redistribution could lead to a Zimbabwe-like "protracted economic decline that will erode the purchasing power of money, losses in pensions and savings, and deindustrialisation that will destroy future economic growth and off-farm job opportunities for the current generation." This would indeed be a nightmare scenario that the South African government would want to avoid.

LANSING, Mich. (AP) A Michigan sports doctor accused of sexually assaulting dozens of women and girls has lost his medical license for at least three years.
Larry Nassar must pay $100,000 if he reapplies. His license was revoked Thursday by Michigan regulators, three months after it was suspended.
Nassar was a doctor at Michigan State University and USA Gymnastics, which trains Olympians. He's charged with molesting 10 girls in the Lansing area.
Separately, he's being sued by dozens more who say he sexually assaulted them during treatments. Nassar denies wrongdoing.
In another matter, a federal judge on Friday blocked an order by a state judge that barred Nassar's accusers from speaking publicly. Judge Janet Neff says there's no evidence that the order is necessary to protect Nassar's right to a fair trial.

|Genetic damage in multiple organs of acutely exercised rats.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 20979236 Owner: NLM Status: In-Process
|The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of acute exercise on genomic damage in an animal model. Male adult Wistar rats were divided into the following groups: control and acute exercised (experimental). For this purpose, 15 animals were accustomed to running on a rodent treadmill for 15 min per day for 5 days (10-20 m min(-1); 08 grade). After 4 days at rest, active animals ran on the treadmill (22 m min(-1), 58 grade) till exhaustion. Cells from peripheral blood, liver, heart, and brain were collected after 0, 2, and 6 h after exercise. The results showed that acute exercise was able to induce genetic damage in peripheral blood cells after 2 and 6 h of exercise, whereas liver pointed out genetic damage for all periods evaluated. No genetic damage was induced either in brain or in heart cells. In conclusion, our results suggest that acute exercise could contribute to the genetic damage in peripheral blood and liver cells. It seems that liver is a sensitive organ to the genotoxic insult after acute exercise.

Dear You,
Stop giving me mixed signals. Okay? Stop pm-ing me late at night "hellos" and winking emojis. Do me the favor and stop because I know I am so stupid to reply every single time. Even when I know that anytime you can simply drop the conversation without saying goodnight or bye. Or brb.
You know, I try so hard to make my every response interesting enough to make sure that you reply.
Stop it. Okay?
It's bad enough that you act like you don't know me when we see each other.
I need a hug. #clingy

June is one of those months each year in which the way the days fall ensures that we will have not two, but three Fridays on which to present our awards for excellence* in ass clownery. Two weeks have gone by since our last award, and it's time to present our choice for
I have made no secret of the fact that I believe Donald Trump is completely unfit to be president, and that his presidency is a disaster of the first magnitude for the nation and the world. However, I am appalled at the way Donald Trump and his administration been covered by the news media, both from the traditional ("mainstream") and the "alternative" side. My concern with the "mainstream" media is its rush to report every scrap of negative information without waiting for verification or context, a rush driven by the need to fill up all 24 hours of the broadcast day while beating competing outlets. My concern with the "alternative" media is the mirror image of my problem with the "mainstream" - the immediate and mindless willingness of conservative outlets to slavishly support the Trump administration without question, no matter how outrageous or indefensible its actions.
And to make things worse, the award-winning shortcomings of the media are amplified by the unwillingness of many Americans to take the time to properly evaluate the news they're getting - from whatever outlets they choose - and make informed, rational decisions.
Ladies and gentlemen, Dear Readers, The News Media, left and right, mainstream and alternate, is named our Left-Cheek Ass Clown for June, 2017.
And that's a tragedy for a nation that needs clear, rational news reporting more than ever.
Have a good day. Come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday ... more thoughts then.

An Email to the Developers at TSW
I wrote the following after finally working my way through the Savage Coast to the Blue Mountains.
Concerning The Secret World:
I knew I was going to have issues with the game. I am an old soldier and a firearms instructor, so most modern-day media depicting firearms give me some issues. Most of the time, I just grimace and move on. The weapon-use animations in this game are mostly silly (like dual-wielding pistols, short-ranged ARs, hip shooting, etc.) but they are fun and I understand the context. Then I started seeing some interesting weapon graphics...
I flinched at trading my Sigs in for Glocks, but then I hate Glocks.
I shake my head at how the grenade launchers are mounted on the ARs.
Then I see sniper rifles. Then I see crew-served machine guns being carried like rifles.
Okay, so I try not to pay too close attention.
Then I travel to the Blue Mountains, to the Forward Operating Base by the southern entrance. The scene is absolutely so ridiculous that I may quit the game. I am embarrassed by how upset I am. I am truly offended by the sheer ignorance the scene displays. With all the veterans running around, looking for work, no one thought to consult one for a little technical direction.
I was debating on whether to renew my subscription or not. Now it is seemly enough to make it not. Apologies for my sensitivity.
Thanks for your time.
I have since reflected much about the scene and why it upset me so much. And I still don't have an answer. Part of me would love to dismiss it and keep playing. Part of me wants to wait and see what kind of response I receive. I received one quickly in game and it was cordial. I do appreciate that.
I guess part of me is dissappointed. Some much thought went into the lore of this game. So the developers then display such blatant ignorance. Well, I guess I am overly sensitive to such things...

- X-rays
- A step towards great teeth
Why Do We Take Them?
Dental x-rays are useful diagnostic tools which provide valuable information to the dentist about your teeth and the structures around them. This helps the dentist to make the right diagnosis and give you the right treatment.
What Is An X-Ray?
An x-ray is a form of electromagnetic radiation which is produced when charged particles lose energy. These particles are generated by an x-ray machine and are directed through the tissues in a controlled way, they are recorded onto a film which is developed or onto a sensor which produces an instant digital image. There are three main types of x-ray that are commonly taken in our practice, these are; The Bitewing Radiograph, The Periapical Radiograph, The Panoramic Radiograph (or OPG). We also provide Cone Beam CT scans for more advanced 3D diagnoses.
In our practice we have invested in the latest digital x-ray technology which has significant benefits over conventional film radiographs these benefits include:
- Reduced radiation dose of up to 90%, compared to conventional film radiographs
- No chemicals required for processing, which is kinder to the environment
- The image is produced virtually instantly on a computer screen
- The image can be manipulated to improve viewing and diagnosis
- The original image can be saved onto the computer along with your records
What Are The Risks Of Having An X Ray?
Virtually everything we do in our daily lives carries some risk; form walking down the stairs to driving the car into work. Although no radiation source is ever 100% safe and even conventional film based x-rays use only small amounts of radiation the digital equipment used in our practice for taking dental x-rays uses the latest technology to reduce the amount of radiation even further.
There is background radiation all around us which comes from both natural and man-made sources, these include:
- Cosmic rays from outer space
- Radon gas
- Radioactive minerals which remain from the very early formation of the planet
- Radioactive fallout from man-made sources such as previous nuclear explosions/weapons
- Food
- Air Travel
To help you understand the levels of radiation involved and the risk, the examples given below compare how much background radiation is equivalent to the following x-rays:
- 2 Standard Bitewing x-rays – 8 hours or a return flight from Spain
- 1 Panoramic x-ray – 28 hours
- 1 Chest x-ray – 160.8 hours
*Source – British Dental Association
Can I Still Have An X-Ray If I Am Pregnant?
Although the radiation form a dental x-ray is relatively small the developing baby in the womb may be more sensitive to radiation and therefore may be at higher risk. If you know or think you may be pregnant then please inform the dentist on your visit. If an x-ray is required the x-ray can be postponed until after the baby is born or if it is urgently required to make a diagnosis special precautions can be taken to minimise the risk.
Any Other Questions?
If you have any other questions or concerns over dental x-rays the dentists at the practice would be happy to answer these on your next visit to the practice.

AceShowbiz - The jury found Kevin Liverpool and Kevin Bradshaw guilty of conspiracy to murder and rob singer %cJoss Stone% after a three-week trial at Exeter Crown Court on Wednesday, April 3. Liverpool received a life imprisonment with a minimum 10 years in jail, while Bradshaw's sentencing was delayed.
The 25-year-old singer, whose real name is Jocelyn Stoker, is represented by her mother, Wendy Joseph, to thank fans' support and kind wishes. "Joss and myself and indeed our whole family are relieved that the trial is now over and that these men are no longer in a position to cause harm to anyone," she said. ''Joss would like to thank everybody for their support and their good wishes.''
Following the conviction, Superintendent Steve Parker, the Senior Investigating Officer, said in a statement, "This has been a long and difficult investigation. While on the face of it the circumstances speak for themselves, the enquiry has involved some complex areas of law and presented significant challenges to the investigation team." He also thanked Stone, her family and her management for "their ongoing support and assistance to the investigation team throughout this investigation."
Back in 2011, Liverpool and Bradshaw were arrested near Stone's home in Devon, England, after neighbors called cops for their suspicious activity. The duo armed themselves with a samurai sword along with hammers, a metal spike and knife.
Inside their car, cops found a roll of plastic body bags, marked maps, and hand written notes detailing the murder and rob plan. "Once Jocelyn's dead... find a river to dump her," the notes read. Through the notes, cops also learned that the men disapproved the singer being invited to Prince William and Kate Middleton's wedding.
After the incident, Stone said she didn't understand why those men targeted her. "I'm fine, if slightly baffled by it. I can't stress about what didn't happen, that would seem silly," she said. "Every job has positives and negatives and I guess this was one of the negatives that comes with mine. I don't expect life to be perfect. I just try to make it as fun as possible."

How to Draw Gothic Tinkerbell
Gothic fashion and figures have died out a bit I have to say, and maybe it's because it has become more excepted by society. I was browsing through some online clothing stores, and I came across this awesome pajama set with the character print of Tinkerbell. I know what your thinking, œTinkerbell?. This wasn't an ordinary fifth grade print, it was of Gothic Tinkerbell. When I got home I added her as a character for tutorials that I wanted to do. So that is what this first lesson of the day will be on, œhow to draw Gothic Tinkerbell, step by step. I know for a fact everyone loves the Gothic version of Tink. She is scattered all over the place, MySpace, DeviantArt, all over Google images, and so on. I had so much fun sketching out my creative version of this very popular Disney character, that today I was looking to do some more of this style art. Unfortunately I ran into an artists block and can't figure out what I want to draw that is cool, and exciting. When your drawing Gothic Tinkerbell, remember that you can play with her style including the colors of her outfit, the style of her hair, and even the make-up. All you really need is a lesson to sketch out the frame and character of Tinkerbell. After that, it's all peaches and cream. Well, that just about does it for me with this tutorial description. There is still more lessons on the way so keep an artistic eye open for the next submission. Peace out guys and have fun! ....
Step 1
Start by drawing a circle shape for the head and then add the facial guidelines. Next, draw the outlined shape of her hair, and then finish off this step by drawing the frame for Gothic Tinkerbell's body, which includes her arms, and bended legs.
Step 2
Here you will utilize the facial guidelines by sketching out the shapes of her eyes. Be sure to make the lining bold to emphasize on the black liner and black eyelashes. Lastly, draw the top lining for her lips.
Step 3
Sketch out her hairstyle, and then draw an elastic around her ponytail. When that is done you can sketch out the contoured shape of her face, and then finish her lips. Lastly, draw Tinkerbell's pretty eyes.
Step 4
Sketch out the lining shape other bangs which will then complete her hairstyle, and then draw her nose, eyebrows, brow piercing, and then her ear. When that is done draw the earring on the top of her ear, ad then add the nose ring. Continue to sketch out the shape of her upper body, and then the outline of Tinkerbell's wings.
Step 5
Draw the shape and contour of her body and then draw the sharp edging for the bottom of her dress. Sketch out her right arm and hand, and then the left arm and hand.
Step 6
Here you will finish off the sketch of her dress, and then draw the arm-socks the way you see them here. Since this is a Gothic Tinkerbell, I also drew in a Gothic cross. Draw her crossed legs and then move to the last drawing step.
Step 7
Finish her legs and then finish her right hand. I added a nice ring, but you can draw what you want. When that is done draw the stripes on her stockings, and then draw in her shoes and her signature puff ball on the top. Erase all the guidelines and shapes that you drew in step one.
Step 8
Here is what your drawing should come out looking like when you're done. Color her in to your liking, and you just finished this tutorial on "how to draw Gothic Tinkerbell, step by step".
You will find incredible drawing tutorials for kids with step-by-step explanation how to create great drawings. All how to draw tutorials on HelloKids are provided by our partner, Dragoart.com. Pets, Pokémon, fantstic beast and dragons, be sure you will find something to draw on Hellokids!

Next Episode of Secret, Strange & True is
not planed. TV Show was canceled.
Secret, Strange, & True was a TV Show produced and aired by TechTV in 2003. Reruns were also aired on G4techTV in June 2004. The show documented stories that blurred the line defining fact from ficion. The stories usually had an emphasis on science and technology which included such things as Unidentified Flying Objects, ghosts, and time travel. The show ceased production just before the G4techTV merger.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.

Have you ever gone out to buy a bookshelf, only to find that once you've filled it with all of your books, it still looks a bit empty? Sure, you can put some knick-knacks here and there to fill the void, but that doesn't always do the trick. So what if you could buy a bookshelf that expanded and contracted to fit just the amount of books in your collection?
This concept design dubbed the REK Bookcase from designer Reinier de Jong is designed with expansion in mind. There are a total of five pieces which slide away from each other to create shelves for your books. As your collection grows, you can simply pull out the next piece to accommodate it. Unfortunately this appears only to be a concept item for now.
