Newest writer for Immortal Music, Coby Andrews saw aeveral great bands at the Apollo Theatre in Chicago, IL. He saw Eyes of the Beholder, Reckless Redemption, Everybody Panic!, Beyond Threshold, Hed PE, and Powerman 500. He got a chance to speak with Everybody Panic a little bit, and wanted to share some information about them. Here is the biography he wrote about Everybody Panic!
Hailing from Oklahoma City, OK, Everybody Panic! formed in 2012, pulling their band name from one of the quotes in the movie Semi-Pro. released their first self produced, and self titled, EP independently in February of 2013.
In support of the release of their EP the band performed at high profile dates with the likes of Fiver Finger Death Punch, Godsmack, Deftones and many others. Through hard work and dedication the band caught the attention of CaviGold Records and entered the famed and haunted Robert Lang Studios in Seattle, WA in March of 2015, to record their follow up, "Attack" which was released on October 30th of 2015.
Since its release they have been on tour in support of the album with Steel Panther for the remain of their All You Can Eat tour and they started a country wide tour with Powerman 5000 and HED PE on March 24th.
Everybody Panic! is a breath of fresh air in the modern metal music scene. Ty (lead vocals) brings hard driving clean and dirty vocals mixed into their music. Using a vocal technique that reminds one of Korn and somehow the Foo Fighters as well. Their unique sound isn't just limited to vocals, the instrumentals throws back to the late 90's/early 00's Nu Metal scene. One moment you'd swear you're hearing a Korn/System of a Down mashup and the next it sounds like modern Breaking Benjamin. Yet at the same time they have a completely new sound of which I've never heard before.
I think what I see in them more than anything is that these guys are out there having fun and loving what they do. They bring so much energy and passion to the stage that I can see these guys, if they maintain this amount of raw energy, that they will be one of those lasting bands like Iron Maiden or The Rolling Stones.
Check out our reviews on their two EPs Attack and EVERYBODY PANIC and be sure to see them while they're out on tour with HED PE and Powerman 5000.
Stay tuned for the reviews, they're coming very soon!

text: Published Oct 01, 2004It starts with a limited aesthetic palette; it's a film shot entirely underground in Budapest's glum Soviet-era subway system. And despite director Nimród Antal's best efforts to keep the plot moving and the backgrounds within the system changing, Kontroll, and the characters in it, always seems to be struggling for air. The story involves a group of "down at the heels" ticket inspectors as they make their rounds through a vast subterranean network. Armed with little more than feeble catchphrases ("Tickets, please") and a vague sense of alienation ("Everyone hates us"), they are greeted mostly with insolence by the many passengers they encounter, none of whom seem to have purchased a ticket. It's made clear from the start that the subway and the people who populate it are meant to represent some kind of universal human condition. To that end, Antal has stripped his location of cultural signifiers: no posters on the walls, no signs telling us what station the characters are at and no discussion of social-political paradigms outside the subway system. To push the point past subtlety, Antal attaches a prologue to the beginning of the film. It's a direct-to-camera address by a representative from Budapest's subway system in which he urges viewers not to confuse the real subway system (a model of safety and efficiency, we're told) with the bureaucratic nightmare depicted in the film. So what, exactly, does Antal have to say about the universal human condition? There's violence, apparently, and a tendency toward sloth and fear, and then there's the all-consuming purity of love, the solution to all of these problems. One benefit of the film's slow pace is that the cast is given plenty of room to explore their characters' various neuroses. Hungarian hunk Sándor Csányi, in particular, is superb as the film's anti-hero Bulcsú, who's haunted by visions of the grim reaper and a fear of the outside world. And while Gyula Pados's cinematography never quite achieves the pace set by the film's thumping electronica soundtrack, he does a great job of articulating the vast futility of this underground world and avoids the cliché of repetitive imagery that the subway location lends itself to. What works least, however, is the film's "girl in a bear" suit gag. Putting one of your characters in a fuzzy animal costume (Gummo, or Donnie Darko) doesn't necessarily elevate your film's art-cred. (Th!nk)

Recycling made easy (sponsored)
Among the countless reasons why you should recycle, perhaps the most compelling of them all is that it's a really simple task.
In Summit County, there are new, accessible ways to recycle, including an online interactive tool that aims to help people figure out where and what they can recycle.
"We're making it easier to recycle. Instead of a bunch of hurdles, we're trying to provide education and resources to make it easier for visitors and residents," said Barry Rubenstein, marketing and development director for High Country Conservation Center (HC3), which works to promote waste reduction and resource conservation in Summit County.
Part of that education includes informing people what they shouldn't recycle. Did you know that just a little basic recycling knowledge could prevent items from heading to the landfill? Just a handful of unrecyclable items in a recycling load could cause the entire load to head to the landfill. HC3 Executive Director Jen Schenk said that's why the organization's motto is, "When in doubt, throw it out."
"It's really important for residents to do some research on their local recycling options before just throwing everything into the recycling," she said.
Here's some of that research made easy for residents and visitors who are interested in environmental stewardship.
Glass must be recycled separately
Most recycling items in Summit County can be mixed together, but glass has to be recycled separately.
"Oftentimes, visitors assume that the same items can be recycled here as where they live," Schenk said. "Many condo complexes and hotels have recycling collection onsite, but sometimes visitors need to ask where to find it. Sometimes glass recycling is not available onsite, which means glass needs to be taken to a recycling site or thrown in the trash."
Rocky the Robot — an online answer to your recycling questions
HC3 has created an online tool to help residents and visitors navigate the recycling process, which, given the ease and accessibility of it, isn't much of a process at all.
Rocky the Robot, online at highcountryconservation.org/recycle, allows people to type in an item to find out where they can recycle it in Summit County.
Things that cannot be recycled
Unfortunately, some items are just not recyclable. Schenk said this can be confusing when people see a recycling symbol on the bottom of something like Styrofoam or plastic Tupperware.
"People assume that means it's recyclable, however that symbol with a number is actually not a recycling symbol, it's a designation used by the plastics industry to indicate the chemical composition or type of plastic," she said. "So, in most places, Styrofoam and Tupperware containers are not recyclable even though they seem to have a recycling symbol on the bottom."
That's why education is important, and why the Rocky the Robot tool is making it easier for people to be informed about proper recycling.
Making recycling accessible
If you're finding that recycling isn't available in your community, help make it accessible. Any resident or visitor in Summit County who finds that recycling isn't available at their condo or home should request recycling collection service. There are also free recycling centers throughout the community where recycling can be dropped off. Three centers — in Frisco, Breckenridge and Dillon — are open 24/7 for drop-off recycling. Items that can be dropped off at these locations include aluminum cans, glass bottles, cardboard, paper, cereal boxes, no. 1 and no. 2 plastics, batteries and scrap metal. No. 1 plastics, or polyethylene terephthalate, include the vast majority of disposable beverage and food containers, and household cleaning containers. No. 2 plastics, or high-density polyethylene, include things like milk jugs, toiletries, detergents and juice bottles.
And don't forget about food items, either. Food scraps can be recycled into compost.
"There are several local programs that allow residents and businesses to collect their wasted food and turn it into compost," Schenk said. "The SCRAP creates compost locally from all of this food waste. All four local ski areas are participating in the local composting program."
Reduce first
Recycling is the aftermath of consumption. If people use less, they won't need to recycle as much.
"All of us have the power to 'reduce' consumption by buying less, using cloth bags at the grocery store and using a water bottle," Schenk said. "We also have the opportunity to 'reuse' products instead of buying new ones, and buying items at thrift stores or garage sales is easy and inexpensive. When all else fails, then of course the item should be recycled." •

Show Your Lower Belly Who's the BOSS!
The lower belly can often be a difficult area to tone. Don't be discouraged! There are several exercises that can target core muscle groups and tighten your lower abdomen.
Most good abdominal workouts include at least one plank exercise. Plank exercises develop abdominal muscles, and also strengthen the back and shoulders, affecting your posture. A straight posture pulls in your stomach, making it appear flatter. A rolling plank begins in a typical plank position, but you'll then rotate to one side into a side plank and hold for ten seconds, then switch to the other in order to tone your obliques as well.
A Mountain climber exercise is great for your lower abdominal muscles because your core has to work hard to keep you stable. It also targets your hamstrings and quads, as well as your gluteus. You will be working each of these muscles as you bring your knee to the opposite elbow. Performing cross-body mountain climbers will certainly make you feel accomplished when you've completed a few!
Roll-Ups make your deep psoas muscle work hard. The psoas is found in your stomach and attaches to your spine. It is part of your body's hip flexor muscle group. When you perform a roll-up, you'll lie flat on your back with your legs together and roll gently yet powerfully upward until you are sitting up with your forehead close to your knees. Since you will be rolling up one vertebra at a time, you will work your deep core muscles through the entirety of this move. This sit up strengthens the psoas and improves posture as well.

Metocean buoys to analyse the energy potential of the Argentine Sea
Marking an important milestone for Argentine science and technology, Y-TEC put buoys to measure this renewable marine resource and promote national energy.
The minister of Science, Technology and Productive Innovation, Dr. Lino Barañao, the president of YPF, Eng. Miguel Galuccio and the director of Y-TEC, Dr. Gustavo Bianchi, attended the announcement ceremony of the Axys and Wavescan buoys anchoring as part of the first stage of the "Study of the marine energy resource of the Patagonia Austral", which is made by Y-TEC, a company that belongs to YPF and the CONICET.
The aim of the project is to conduct some activities and measurement campaigns to collect and analyse the capacity factor of the displacement of coastal water, estuaries, and channels of the Mar Austral of our country. This information will be used to assess feasibility studies for power projects that, within the framework of renewable energies, will diversify the country's energy matrix.
During the event, which was attended by the president of the National Scientific and Technical Research Council (CONICET), Dr. Roberto Salvarezza, and the vice president of Technology Affairs, Eng. Santiago Sacerdote, Dr. Barañao put into perspective the announcement. He added that it is estimated that in 2050 there is going to be over 2,000 million people on the planet, what means doubling the amount of energy but none of the current energy sources will be able to satisfy this duplicate demand. Within this framework, the minister stated that "the objective of this project is to obtain renewable and environmentally sustainable energy".
Besides, he explained that "this type of projects are connected with other ones, such as the Pampa Azul, which represents an innovation and linked diverse parts of the government to focus on the sea from different points of view. The minister also highlighted that "these are not isolated activities; they are all part of an innovative planning from Argentina to the future".
At the event, Eng. Galuccio remarked that "Y-TEC is a strong commitment to innovation with two main axes: the non-conventional one and the alternative energies, which are not developed in the country such as the wind and solar energy, or in this case, from the sea. In seeking energy self-sufficiency, we need to think beyond oil and gas, and these energies have to be considered. Our spearhead is Y-TEC and as regard this, we are taking a step in energy unexplored and with great potential".
For his part, Dr. Bianchi highlighted "the energy potential we have in all the coasts of the Argentine sea", and stated that "this is a landmark in Argentina because we start working on wave power".
Eng. Santiago Sacerdote, who is a member of the Y-TEC Board, explained that "for three years, these buoys are going to be measuring diverse factors that, in technological terms, will enable us to analyze what is the turbines load factor that can generate electricity at sea".
Likewise, he remarked that the project has a group of researchers from the Patagonian National Research Center (CENPAT-CONICET) who "provide the analysis of the environmental impact not only from where the buoys were placed but also from the entire Patagonia coast. The idea is to provide CONICET laboratories with more information, new measures, and dynamic analysis to find the best places to install future hydroelectric turbines".
Furthermore, Eng. Bianchi spoke about the study conducted by the biologists, oceanographers and different CONICET researchers at the CENPAT "to study and mark the migrations of marine fauna and the movements of the dunes on the seabed" for the installation.
Finally, Sacerdote highlighted the political decision and the articulation of different institutions to undertake this kind of project and concluded that "to find alternative or renewable energies is part of our strategic look for the next 20 years".
The meeting was attended by the dean of the Facultad Regional Santa Cruz de la Universidad Tecnológica Nacional (UTN), Eng. Martín Goicoechea, the vice president of Servicios Compartidos de YPF, CPN Sergio Affronti, and the researchers Dr. Gustavo Seisdedos (Y-TEC) and Eng. Norma De Cristófaro (UTN, Regional Santa Cruz), together with other authorities, civil servants and researchers.
To look at the infographic click here.
On December 2nd, 2014, at the estuary of Río Gallegos the Axys anchoring was carried out, the first of the two metocean buoys. Then, on December 3rd, the second one, which was called Wavescan, was placed on the area of the Cabo Vírgenes. They will be connected via satellite to provide details of its position, temperature, atmosphere and pressure. Besides, there are important instruments such as barometers, wave energy meters and sensors to survey meteorological data.
These three years of data collection and analysis will provide first the information for a data library with raw and processed information available to perform feasibility studies for power projects. Secondly, it will give professional training for technologists and young researchers in Marine Sciences, Materials Science, Corrosion, Biocorrosion, Electrochemistry of seawater and Maritime Operations.

The adjustability and color are great!
I had purchased a keep America great red hat for my husband for Christmas. Ended up receiving a black T for president hat black. I didn't return or say anyway because my husband liked it and figured you all were out of stock of what actually was ordered and sent what had, although he wanted his keep America great one... he will wear what he received . :)
Thank you for the fast shipping & USA made. Love the cap, TrumpStoreAmerica has been a great Site to order from & work with...
The wrong hats were sent (maga instead of kag), plus the cup was shattered, but when I called support, they were very apologetic and gracious and sent replacements right away.
I'm extremely pleased with the high quality of the hat. It's a Christmas present for My 88 years old Dad. He's going to Love it! Thank You!!

EDITION OF MONDAY, JULY 1, 2019 [PetPowellPress] Welcome to July. Let's get started.
It's a Monday — sorry about the involuntary shudder. Before we get to the Metrosprawl, we're taking a dash to western Oklahoma. Here goes:
Never mind. I know: Humans. Humans failing animals.
Out in western Oklahoma in the town of Burns Flat, we have a reliable contact, the resilient rescuer Terry Lynn Fisher. Over the weekend she was transporting animals to safety and got this call. She reports, "As many of you know, I help several small towns around me with the dogs too. Sentinel is south of me, about 13 miles. The lady that helps take care of the dogs there just messaged me about a situation that came up this weekend. She was contacted by a man near her, out in the country... "He has evicted his brother and family from his home and they left, leaving SEVENTEEN DOGS AND A HORSE....
"We are not set up for that many dogs. They are heelers and all but one are very loving and friendly. We will be taking food and water out to them but the owner of property wants them gone ASAP. They appear to be healthy. Many are pups around 6 months or less. None appear to be over 2 years old."
What's the hurry? Here's Terry Lynn's answer: "This is an area where they will just be shot when the owner has had enough of them being there and sadly, nothing will be done about it. I will be taking some food down today but with this many, we will need help with some donated food." Get in touch with Terry Lynn by emailing her at firstname.lastname@example.com.
This info comes from Judi Brown, our reliable tipster and the volunteer biographer at the Mesquite Animal Shelter.
First up is Trixie, a 7-year-old Chihuahua who arrive at the shelter on June 24 — stray? Not exactly, Judi says. "She was left in a crate outside the shelter. So, basically she was abandoned. She is timid and not comfortable with the environment. The 9-pound dog (42034373) doesn't mind being held. She'd rather be with a human than in a shelter.
Lucy (42066091) is the 6-month-old, 47-pound "low-to-the-ground" Dalmatian mix who was handed off to Mesquite. Why? Judi reports, "The reason given was landlord issues, and on the surrender form the owner stated, 'I can't have it'." [LARRY ASIDE: Dog is probably better off with people who refer to her by name or by gender than someone who regards the dog as an "it" — like a trash bag is an it. Pardon my bitterness toward humans. I've been around some of them.] Judi says Lucy is "a wiggly, friendly, affectionate, energetic, tail-wagging dog who gives kisses. On top of that she's very alert. She spent a lot of time going to the gate and I really feel like she was looking for her previous owners. It was difficult to get good pictures of her because of her constant movement."
And Tina (42049018) is "a 10-year-old, cream-colored Chihuahua who came to the Mesquite shelter on 6/25 as a stray. If she's not blind she's almost blind. She definitely does not know where she is and frequently stands facing the wall. Besides that she's very feeble. It's hard to understand how a little girl in this condition could end up at a shelter. Understandably she was terrified and out of fear would not let anyone near her. If you tried to hold her she wouldn't stop struggling. It took me days before she finally realized that being held isn't so bad after all! She is a work in progress and I imagine when I work with her again it will be starting all over." To ask about these dogs, call the shelter at 927-216-6283 or email firstname.lastname@example.com
To see more Mesquite animals, go to this SITE. There are lots more dogs and cats awaiting rescue and adoption. The cats include this little guy Captain Purrk and so are Scotty and Opurra. When you go to that link, just click on "cats." Lots of feral kittens, too. Lots of 'em.
You may not read The Big Paper Downtown these days, but there are commentaries worth a look including this animal shelter column by Sharon Grigsby. The link is HERE . It includes this paragraph that may inspire commentary from people who've been involved with the shelter for years. Columnist Grigsby wrote, "Just three years ago, our shelter was a joke. Management essentially ignored a loose dog crisis in southern Dallas, ran off would-be rescue partners and stonewalled anyone who dared say a critical word about DAS." … In the meantime, DAS has a new adoption promotion under way. According to the text on the DAS Facebook page, "This month, help DAS keep our animals comfortable by donating a blanket! When you do, you'll be able to adopt a new best friend for only $5! #RedWhiteandBlankets #BeDallas90." FYI: The DAS site www.dallasanimalservices.org shows 200 dogs, 267 cats and 10 "other" available for adoption, while the DAS PetHarbor site shows 417 dogs, 415 cats and 12 "other." "Other" is guinea pigs and rabbits. …. One of the reasons I write about animals and the people who help them is it keeps me from devoting my entire life to the drama of household plumbing and waiting for the professional to come bail me out of my idiot mistakes. This morning, the kitchen sink wouldn't drain. Relax, I've got all the tools to fix it and I'm waiting for the top-rated chemicals to work their magic. Never mind. The plumber is on his way. You know, I never had these problems when I was living in a tent in the woods and surviving on boiled pine cones, greenish weeds and the contents of discarded fast-food bags. I should never have raised my standards to include indoor plumbing.

IDF09, A New Day
Hallo hoppy readers,
Yesterday, I attended a HP session on changes to data center design and management. There have been some interesting changes since I last looked at the problem at the Uptime Institute.
This morning, IDF started the first keynote with Deborah Conrad. She debuted a new 15 sec. TV spot, part of the same campaign that's currently running…It was very funny, in the same geek vein as the USB rock star spot. Anyway, on to David "Dadi" Perlmutter who anchored…
Cool = The Mobile Experience
Nehelem microarchitecture goes mobile!
In the past, the Nehelem microarchitecture was used in server designs, for heavy lifting duties. Mooly Eden first discussed Core i7 (dual threaded quad core Clarksfield) with Turbo Boost goes to 3.02 GHz, plus Hyper–Threading and integrated memory manager. I mentioned Turbo yesterday…Turbo Boost means that, if less than all cores are being used, the power manager quiesces any unused cores while cranking up the voltage & clock of the ones being used. In the mobile world, it's all about managing power an thermal envelope.
Next, they talked about the integrated security features, very important for mobile applications. Then, they did a little demo that highlights two benefits of SSDs; fast boot times, and immunity to shock and vibration.
Then, improved power management yields higher performance with equal power usage and a small thermal envelope.
On to connectivity, specifically, WiMAX. The showed a map of WiMAX networks worldwide…In a word, sparse. A live demo, with 1 Mbps upstream emphasizes the improved throughput. Trouble is, unless you live in the handful of cities that will have WiMAX service, you may have a radio in your mobile device, but nothing to connect to.I don't see that changing anytime soon as the deployment is very costly, while the chicken or egg dilemma will hinder speculative build–outs.
Light Peak
Last item I found interesting was Light Peak, an optical I/O that integrates display, LAN and storage. Since it's optical, it has a long reach and, it's immune to RFI and reactance problems that can plague electrical interconnects. This could be a good thing for us rich media geeks once it escapes from the lab. Unfortunately, it'll be yet one more local bus standard to deal with…Oy! Maybe They will harmonize HDMI and Light Peak so CE and PC vendors can share the love…don't hold your breath.
OK, that's all for now. I'm gonna head over to the vendor displays to lay hand upon the gear…l8r, doooode.

National Sports Center Cup started in 1993 as a way to fill a growing demand for early season tournaments in Minnesota. The tournament started with fewer than 70 teams, mainly from Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and South Dakota. Since that time, the tournament has grown to over 200 teams and now includes an adult tournament with cash prizes. We've also instituted a college coaches recruiting program to allow players to showcase their talents to college coaches.

Pearl Thusi, South Africa's most sought after actress, TV presenter, MC, radio personality, model and businesswoman, is no stranger to the AFRIMA awards hosting duties. The talented and engaging Thusi hosted the 5th AFRIMA main awards held in Accra, Ghana on November 24, 2019. She boasts of a formidable breakthrough in her career, having gained popularity on the international movie scene with her lead role in Universal Film produced,'The Scorpion King: The Book of Souls' alongside Zach McGowan, and her recurring role in ABC's Drama Series 'Quantico'. In 2018, Thusi also bagged a role in the first-ever Netflix African original series, "Queen Sono".

Eddie Kadi, better known for his witty, clean and conscious jokes, is fast becoming a strong force in the British comedy scene. The multi award-winning comedian moved from the Democratic Republic of Congo to the UK at the age of 8 and has since accrued success in his comedy career that includes sold-out concerts at the Hammersmith Apollo, London 02 Arena and the IndigO2. Kadi has been able to use his gift and roots in African culture to break social barriers and unify cultures. In October 2019, he opened the music concert 'Starboy Fest' for Nigeria's Afrobeat artiste, Wizkid, at the London 02 Arena.

God Bless The Marines!
Always a good day when a dim-witted "all about me" type, of any sort, gets teh leather-neck boot. It just happens to be better when it's one of her type.
Doom - well stated.
My GOD! I hope this is a true story.
I heard brolin on the radio once time around 9-11 of some year after 2001 and he was talking about celebrating 9-11.
I'm not a violent person, but..
Anyway, if these AH's actually got what they wanted for the USA, they'd be some of the first ones stood up against a wall and shot. Almost makes me Want to have the commies come on in.
Barbara who ?
Kid - it's the typical liberal entitlement attitude. Once you cross that they'll never forgive you. She's probably hung a Marine recruitment poster in her living room and glares at that.
Odie - that will be the reaction of the generation raised after her death. It's almost that way now. And the same goes for all the Hollywood celebrities once they are off the screen.
Who knows and who cares. They contribute nothing of importance.
Sig, Hahaha, considering she's married to the biggest wuss with a beard, I'll bet she Dreams of Being Spanked by a Marine in Dress Blues. Fortunately, I can't imagine a single one would take the job even for pay.
Beautiful, rejected coming And going.
Kid - Spanked by a Marine in a blue dress? I'll have to think about that one.

Annisquam Village Church Concert
Concert on the Adams Organ at the Annisquam Village Church
Friday, November 4
7:00 p.m.
This special concert, held at the Annisquam Village Church, is offered in conjunction with Voicing the Woods: Jeremy Adams, Instrument Maker, on view at the Cape Ann Museum from October 22, 2016 through February 26, 2017.
This program is $10 for Museum and American Guild of Organists Society (AGO) members / $15 for nonmembers. Tickets can be purchased by calling (978) 283-0455 x10 or online at Eventbrite. Advance tickets are required.
Organist Kevin Birch will play the Jeremy Adams-built organ and clavichord. The thirteen-stop, double manual, mechanical (tracker) action organ with its trompe l'oeil pipe shades that reference baroque instruments in Brittany, exemplifies the bold and individual voicing for which Adams is known.
Birch has performed throughout the United States, Europe and South America. He holds the Doctor of Musical Arts from the University of Iowa with previous studies at the Sweelinck Conservatory (Amsterdam) and the New England Conservatory (Boston).
The Annisquam Village Church was established as the Third Parish of Gloucester in 1728 to serve people living in the areas of Annisquam, Bay View, Lanesville and Sandy Bay. Located at the head of Lobster Cove at the corner of Washington and Leonard Streets, the 1830's building is renowned for its graceful beauty and extraordinary acoustics.
Voicing the Woods has been generously sponsored by Jerry and Margaretta Hausman, Hinda Simon, Bettie Cartwright, Gregory and Stevie Neal, Robert M. Russell and Jane Deering Gallery.

Fall Artist At Rose Baker
Every two months, Juni VanDyke, Director of the Rose Baker Senior Center Art Program selects one or two artist to be honored with a show of their works. The two artists being honored for the fall are Kay Carpenter and Pippy Giuliano. Their work will be on display from now until the end of November in the main lobby of the Senior Center, located at 6 Manuel F. Lewis St. in Gloucester, from 9 am to 4pm Monday through Friday.
Kay Carpenter and Pippy Giuliano pictured in front of their works.
Many of you will remember Kay Carpenter as one of the 2015 November artists of the month. She has created a number of new works and is being honored again. During her twenty-eight years working at the Usen O'Donnell fish packing plant, she was grateful to be able to look out at the surrounding views of the sky, sand, and ocean. In retirement, she finally has time to do what she has always wanted to do — paint the natural world.
Two years ago, Kay began working in watercolor. She found the medium surprising and was delighted with the results she was able to achieve. In her graceful watercolors, you will see her love of the natural world, color, and especially her love of the surroundings of her woodland home.
When asked to talk about her work, Pippy Giuliano said "The Icons of Gloucester inspire me to look closely, be absorbed and to record what results from the interaction. Strength, endurance, perseverance is City Hall. Perpetual protection and watchfulness is Our Lady. The painter and painted sustain each other — breathe life into each other establishing a connectedness that is rooted here in this beloved place — this port of Gloucester — my home." When you see her work in this exhibit, you will feel her love of the city and the buildings that reflect its spirit.

for whatever reason this year i kind of miss doing the snow bird thing. years past when we went back home for the summer i was able to be so productive There were none of the social things (except once a moth at dt's) there were weeks i seldom left the house except for groceries. was able to get out of bed, have my coffee, check email and go into the studio and spend all day doing what i do in there. construction is done for the year. still have stuff at the condo so haven't completely moved in but those things can wait. don't understand what my problem is. is it discipline? is it lack of focus? too many options?
Louie has claimed the patio. last week he wouldn't cross the threshold. he'd been told 'no' so many times that now he was afraid to even try it. saturday morning i opened the slider and he buzzed right out and sat on his cat tree. he knows where his door is but at this point it's a test to see how much i love him, wether i'll open the door for him.
last weekend i moved all his stuff (rug, litter box, food, etc). showed him where it was and de-cat'ed my bathroom. took a shower in my own shower for the first time in months. after getting out of the shower, even while the floor was still wet he marched in there and peed in the drain. looked me right in the eye while he was doing it. beast! just had to demonstrate how much he doesn't like change, but he's accepted that his litter box is now in the patio and is using it. we're both much happier.
still no furniture out there. it's on the 'one of these days' list.
had my allergy report dr visit. dust and cats. CATS!!! where'd that come from. i've had cats all my life. Louie is the first long hair but still. he doesn't sleep with me. he's not a lap cat. dr suggested i trade him in for a dog. told her it didn't work that way. and dust. of course, this is arizona. going to have to live with it. . so now i'm on allergy meds and so far it seems to be working.
grrr had his consult with the cataract dr. yes he needs surgery. silly man was convinced he wasn't going to need it. However they told him it should make a significant difference in how well he sees so we are doing it. the dr is scheduled out thru the middle of July so it's going to be a while.
the kids are here and Louie is inside out with happiness. it obscene how much he loves Shelly. then surprise - surprise. they want to look at condos. Steven will turn 55 shortly and they will be old enough to purchase property here. we're delighted. It would be a snowbird type arrangement but they want a place that can be rented while they're not here.
very little accomplished this week. been weaving at the studio but it's a narrow warp and here at home just a little at a time. the warp and weft are tencel threaded with a stagered twill. it's wide and my shoulders are out of practice so a little goes a long way. Lola is still at the hospital. she should be coming come this week.
Louie says Hi

The purpose of life is self-expression. So goes the famous line from champion of individualism, Oscar Wilde. And whether or not you agree, you've got to admit that living with self-expression is one of the most empowering acts there is. It means speaking your truth in the moment; widely defining yourself; engaging in creative pursuits and techniques; acquiring self-knowledge; pursuing your passions and ambitions; and knowing when to step back when things aren't right for you.
Screen Acting Diploma student Frank Peroni is the picture of this. Never to be pigeonholed as just an actor, the Italian performing artist also dabbles in production design and mixed-media art as well as being a multi-faceted model. Fun fact: he also cuts hair and plays the ukulele (hopefully not at the same time). Having spent years exploring the world, he set down his suitcases in Europe's most free-spirited city to write the next chapter of his creative story – or should we say script?
In the second episode of our Space to Create series, we follow Frank as he talks about the inspiring journey of self-expression that led him to Berlin.
Space to Create
"Berlin is such a free and multicultural city and, for sure, the people are way more free here than other places in Europe that I've experienced."
Follow Frank Peroni on Instagram and Facebook.
Watch the previous episode of our Space to Create series: Singer and producer Rowan Edwards talks falling in love with Berlin's creative energy.

You don't need to splash out on a beach resort at Guardalavaca – find out how to get there by local bus, stay at casas for CUC$15 & walk to Playa Pesquero in our Guardalavaca Travel Guide!
Guardalavaca Travel Guide: Then & Now
When Christopher Columbus came upon Guardalavaca for the first time, he described it as the most beautiful place he had ever laid eyes on.
Personally, we here at DIY Travel HQ didn't love Guardalavaca but we are worldlier than Columbus ever was!?! There were many other places to visit in Cuba which we preferred.
To give him some credit, we did see glimpses of what he may found so attractive, before beach resort development.
The coastline of Guardalavaca is a long stretch of tropical beaches with turquoise water. It lies against a backdrop of green fields & rolling hills. 100 years ago, it was a key cattle-rearing region with a small rural settlement – the name Guardalavaca literally means "guard the cow".
These days, tourism is the number one cash cow. Since the 1970's, the landscape has been greatly obstructed by the onset of tourism & expansion.
Hotels & beach resorts are found all along the shore, while further back in Guardalavaca town, ugly sets of Soviet-style apartment blocks house a population of over 350,000 people.
Many of these apartments advertise as casa particulares, but they're some of the most unappealing ones you'll come across in all of Cuba.
In the rest of the country, rooms are rented in the more affluent homes. In Guardalavaca, your only choice for accommodation is in these small, rundown apartments.
Thankfully, there's cheap local Cuban food to be had & a beer dispensary shop selling cups of liquid gold for 6 pesos / $0.24.
* Guardalavaca Travel Guide Top Tip: You can pick up local cigars here too for 1 peso / $0.04 each.
Coming earlier from Varadero, Guardalavaca was a shock. We can't vouch for the beach resorts in either city but away from it, Varadero at least has a downtown area, filled with restaurants, shops, markets & all the amenities you need.
In Guardalavaca, there's no downtown, just a little plaza in the middle of some apartment blocks. Everything has been beautified in Varadero – Guardalavaca town is just downright ugly.
Guardalavaca can still be recommended though if you're a beach bum – just splash out on a resort or lower your standards. Most of all, spend as much time as possible at the beach.
Guardalavaca Travel Guide: Beaches
#1. Guardalavaca Beach
The main beach in Guardalavaca is about a 10 minute walk from the town "centre". It's pleasant but nothing outstanding, though we only visited in the twilight after a rain shower.
There are some nice rock formations & it looks like it definitely has potential for golden sands & turquoise waters, so go on a clear sunny day to enjoy this beach to the max.
#2. Playa Pesquero
Be prepared to walk a lot to visit Playa Pesquero as a local bus only takes you as far as the town of Melita (1 peso) – from there, it's a 4km walk under the hot sun.
Or you could be wiser & less frugal than us, and go by horse carriage.
I'm not sure if it was totally worth it but there was a beautiful beach at the end of the road. A lot of people too!
There are a few resorts here that claim priority on the beach, we were told that we could only use the palapas after 12 noon.
There was some construction happening on one end of the beach, undoubtedly another hotel, which was really unsightly.
Nevertheless, the shallow, warm turquoise water is sublime & Playa Pesquero is definitely one of the top beaches in Cuba.
To get back to Guardalavaca, walk or catch a ride back to Melita, then take a passing bus back to G-town.
* Guardalavaca Travel Guide Top Tip: Playa Esmerelda & Playa Caletica are other nice beach options closer to Guardalavaca.
Guardalavaca Travel Guide: Accommodation
The apartment block-casas to choose from are downright depressing. We checked out a few, they're uninspiring & there's no independence.
Most also started out asking for CUC$25 a night, which is crazy seeing as most didn't have a private bathroom, there's so much competition & the rooms are not as nice as elsewhere in Cuba.
We stayed at Casa Aida for CUC$15 with air-con & bathroom outside the room. If you're standing in front of the beer dispensary shop, it'll be on your left, ground floor.
* Guardalavaca Travel Guide Top Tip: Don't be afraid to bargain & shop around for a casa!
How to Get to Guardalavaca
From Baracoa, take a jeep to Moa. It costs CUC$2 & takes 2 hours.
In Moa, take a colectivo taxi to Holguin: CUC$4, 2hrs 45mins.
In Holguin, you can catch colectivos to Guardalavaca on Av XX Aniversario, just up from the intersection with Av de los Libertadores. However, the colectivos will want CUC$5 / $5 from you (then 2 people for CUC$6) when locals probably pay around CUC$1.
Just walk further up the road & join the group of waiting locals. A bus goes from here to Guardalavaca for just 5 pesos / $0.20 & takes around 1 hour.
How to Get Out of Guardalavaca
To get out of Guardalvaca by local transport in Cuba, wait on the side of the main road – keep walking out of the town, pass the bridge until you see a group waiting. There's also another area with a lot of parked buses but their schedules are limited.
We caught an air-conditioned Transtur mini-van to Holguin for 10 pesos / $0.40 – local transport should be 5 pesos / $0.20. The ride is one hour.
All transport should drop you off near a large bus station, Terminal de Omnibus Intermunicipal. There were no departures for our destinations, Las Tunas.
We had to take a bus to the National Station for 50 cent pesos / $0.02 (I think this is the same place for Viazul). Then we had to walk up the road a little, to a bus stop with many people waiting. Here, we eventually caught a camion to the Saturday night street party in Las Tunas (20 pesos / $0.80).[put_wpgm id=87]
*** The Final Word – Come with low expectations & plenty of DIY spirit & you won't be disappointed ***

text: BestB 12,514 #46 Posted July 1 3 hours ago, lopburi3 said: Not sure why you did not keep the bill - even without a question it is good to keep at least six months. But if you can download as mentioned perhaps we can be of more help. Indeed if normal bill is 8-10k per month and last month was only 170 baht it may be correct and last months was wrong but this months got the reading right. We have had very hot weather this year so bills are at or above those of most other years. There is also the 3% discount and the other discount that varies and may or may not appear. All makes sense, what does not make sense is both moths meter was read by a person, not a computer, so if it did not show correct usage last month, did it catch up this month? how is that possible? I did not pursue it any further as it kind of works out evenly taking into consideration last month, But the point is, last month they came out, took a reading and issued bill on the spot for 170 baht, which means meter showed usage worth 170 baht. This month, same guy came out and meter showed usage worth 21000 So did meter stop spinning last month but started to spin 10 times the speed this month? lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A new report stresses the extent to which the world of high-frequency trading is winner-take-all.
Three scholars behind "Risk and Return in High Frequency Trading" together address the questions: how do HFT firms make money? And, what is the nature of their competition with one another?
They start with some numbers: the median HFT firm has an enviable annualized Sharpe ratio of 4.3 and a four-factor annualized alpha of 22.02%.
The "four factors" involved in the calculation of four-factor alpha are: CAPM; market capitalization, book-to-market value, and momentum. These numbers indicate a very strong performance, and (the authors add) in contrast to other strategies this firm-level performance for HFT firms is "strongly persistent over both days and months."
Speed and Liquidity Taking
So it does appear that speed is helpful in generating risk-adjusted profit. How is it helpful? There are, speaking broadly, two answers to this theory in the academic literature. First, there is the view that HFTs are aggressive takers of liquidity who "pick off stale limit orders or trade ahead of others' information."
The other view is that HFTs are passive market makers whose activity amounts of "mitigating adverse selection and providing tighter bids and asks."
This paper, in its own effort to decide between those views, is the work of Matthew Baron, Jonathan Brogaard, and Andrei Kirilenko, respectively associated with Princeton University, the University of Washington, and the Massachusetts Institute of Technology.
Kirilenko's name in particular is likely to be familiar to readers of AllAboutAlpha. He is the former Chief Economist of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, and there was a moment in the middle of last year when he seemed to be the Julian Assange of Section 8 data.
Let's cut to the chase: their bottom line is that the aggressive, liquidity-taking model of how HFTs make their money is the right one.
The Critics are Right
In the course of getting to that conclusion, they map out the industrial structure of a winner-take-all environment, one in which "the trader who is first able to identify and respond to a profitable opportunity will capture all the gains … [and other] firms who are even milliseconds late will miss out: the magnitude of the profit may be sharply reduced or the trading opportunity may have disappeared completely." Successful HFTs earn alphas and Sharpe ratios that are many times those of the industry median.
This environment leads to investment in ever-faster technology to a degree that exceeds any socially efficient level.
Revenue, thus, is skewed to the right within the industry, and the concentration persists over time. Incumbents in the field have an advantage over entrants. Thus, the industry as these three authors picture it looks a lot like the pictures drawn by its harsher critics. HFT is "an industry dominated by a small number of increasingly fast, liquidity-taking incumbents with high and persistent returns."
In working through to this conclusion, they look especially at the E-mini S&P 500 stock index futures contract. This seems to be a common ground for studies in this field, and these authors spend some time spelling out the reasons for that (such as that there is no "institutionalized class of intermediaries" in this market.)

The Five Most Important Things to Know about Lens Care
Cleaning and Disinfection
Cleaning and disinfecting are important to kill micro-organisms responsible for eye infections. Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully for proper contact lens cleaning and disinfection.
Contact lenses must be stored in a proper lens case and in solutions approved for contact lens storage.
Use drops approved for re-wetting contact lenses as needed to alleviate symptoms of lens dryness. This is not an actual lens care step, but can be used for extra comfort.
The Lens Case
Data indicate that lens cases are a significant source of microbial contamination. Proper lens case cleaning and frequent case replacement are essential for minimizing the risk of contamination. Always follow the directions on the packaging insert for detailed instructions on cleaning and storing your lens case. Cases should be replaced at least every three months.
Replacement Schedule
Different lenses are made out of different materials. Because each material performs differently, manufacturers recommend a replacement schedule for each type of lens to allow for optimal performance of the lens. Most lenses worn today are intended to be replaced on a frequent basis. Typical replacement frequencies include one day, 1 to 2 weeks and one month. Speak to your eye care professional who will recommend a replacement schedule based on the lenses you are wearing and your individual needs.

Pope's team are at the top of their game when it comes to getting the job done for their clients, but it becomes apparent that these "gladiators in suits" who specialise in fixing the lives of other people, have trouble keeping their own lives in check.

This has been happening to me for about six months. Ever since the new advertising (long video ads) was implemented.
This is on mobile (iPad) using current iPad software and current version of the KS app.
80% of the time the game crashes before it fully loads.
15% of the time it crashes immediately after you select a level and begin playing, causing you to lose supplies and any special ingredients.
5% of the time it allows you to play a full level. Then it crashes as the stars are being rewarded, which results in the level not counting. No increase in points, no moving forward.
I'd say that <1% of the time it allows you to complete a level and move on without crashing.
This mobile app is completely broken, and I think it is due to the advertising in the app.

Too bad criminals don't have visible spots and stripes like our gentle, giant friends. From the New York Times:
Facial recognition software holds great promise, but the jury is still out on how effective it is now. The software, which compares patterns from an electronic image of a face to a database of images, hasn't proved particularly good at picking criminals out of a crowd, for instance.
But an Australian scientist is having better luck with software that can identify individual whale sharks. It doesn't analyze shark faces, but rather individual patterns of spots and stripes on the fish's skin.
In a paper to be published this month in the journal Ecological Applications, the researchers report repeat sightings of many individual sharks from year to year, suggesting that the shark population, in that part of the ocean at least, is healthy.

Lundbeck is co-founding a new private-public partnership to enhance the quantity and quality of clinical research in dementia diseases, e.g. Alzheimer's disease, in Denmark. In the new NEXT-Link Dementia network, Lundbeck joins specialized dementia clinics from five Danish hospitals to improve the conditions for running clinical trials.
The network is part of NEXT – National Experimental Therapy Partnership – which works to optimize all processes from start-up to close out of clinical trials with the optimization of legal and regulatory processes highly prioritized. The ambition is to make Denmark the pharmaceutical industry's first choice for early clinical trials of new drugs for patients with particular focus on Proof of Concept-trials.
"We are pleased to participate in this new network which will hopefully prove a boost to the whole field of clinical dementia research in Denmark to the benefit of patients, society and companies like Lundbeck. Optimized processes around clinical trials in Denmark makes it more attractive for us to include Danish sites when we run trials for our Alzheimer's and potentially also Parkinson's programs", says Mads Dalsgaard, Senior Vice President, Clinical Development.

Title: Abracadabra
Author: Bevin Rolfs Spencer
Genre: Middle Grade
Publisher: Xist Publishing
Release Date: April 1, 2017
Rating: ★★★★
Mozart, Lucy, Estaban, and PJ are the Backyard Players. They put on plays in Mozart's backyard for their neighbours. When they are looking for the props for their latest play, they find a magic wand with a note. They have five chances to use the wand, but they have to use the magic word. They guess that the magic word is "Abracadabra," but when Esteban waves the wand, it turns PJ into a pig! They go to the magic shop where the wand is from to try to figure out how to turn PJ back into a boy before they have to perform their play that evening.
This is a really cute story. It's great for middle grade readers! It's funny because every time they think of a new magic word to use to try and change PJ back, they make it worse by giving him wings or a tail.
One thing that bothered me in the story is that the pictures didn't always match up with what was happening in the story. For example, the words say that Esteban waves the wand, but in the picture that accompanies that chapter Mozart waves it. There were a few instances where this happened so it was confusing. This could also have been fixed in the final copy because I was reading a ARC.
This is a funny story, and I hope there are more to come!

|Re: JSCookMenu, dummy form and Trinidad problems
|Wed, 05 Jul 2006 14:53:56 GMT
I found two problems using jscookmenu and Trinidad: 1) The class HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer tries to find the parent form searching for an UIForm component, but the Trinidad CoreForm doesn't extend UIForm. This cause the the dummyform stuff rendered in the page. 2) Using either <af:form> or <h:form>, calling addHiddenCommandParameter on HtmlFormRendererBase doesn't seem to work, and the jscook hidden field isn't rendered on the form, causing a javascript error when trying to use the menu. This is probably caused by the Trinidad renderer used insted of the MyFaces one. To solve problem 1), I modified the HtmlJSCookMenuRenderer.java in order to recognize also the <af:form> component as a parent form. I used getClass().getName() instead of an instanceof for the comparison in order to avoid a compile-time dependency. For problem 2), I haven't found a way to add an hidden field using the Trinidad form renderer.. maybe it is possible to add a child inputHidden component to the parent form dinamically, but I don't know how to set its "name" attribute and I'm not sure that, in that stage, it will be actually rendered. So I modified the MyFacesHack.js to add the hidden field to the DOM when it is missing. I tried the code in IE6 and FireFox, but it shoud work also with IE5. I have attached a patch file, can any committer take a look?

Acupressure or acupuncture mats are a widely available alternative tool that gives all the benefits of acupressure just at home. Most of these mats are made from cotton, with plastic acupuncture points that stimulate specific areas of the body to bring pain relief or help with other issues.
These mats seem pretty straightforward, but if you are new to the practice and have some doubts this article will tell how to use them.
Many people may be concerned about puncturing their skin and wary of things like acupuncture. With an acupressure mat you receive all the benefits of acupuncture without actually piercing your skin. Acupressure mats can be used on nearly any part of your body and even used on your hands and feet for reflexology.
Acupressure Mat Benefits
The biggest benefit of acupressure mats is that anyone can use them. Unlike traditional acupressure therapy, there is no training or specialized knowledge needed to get beneficial results. Since many acupressure mats are affordably priced, they're a cheaper option that allows people to get daily treatment without paying a professional for frequent appointments.
What an acupressure mat sellers claim they can do:
- Relieves stress & anxiety
- Increase blood circulation
- Improves oxygen level
- Reduces muscle tension
- Stimulates endorphin production to elevate mood and help with depression
- Encourages restful sleep and reduces insomnia
- Energized the body
As we can see, there are a lot of claims out there as to what acupressure mats help. These range from stress and pain relief to improved healing and weight loss! So we thought we would go through all these claims and try and figure out from the evidence and a little research, how and if acupressure mats do help.
Stress Management: True. One of the biggest effects acupressure has is to stimulate the release of serotonin. By applying pressure, this stimulates our body into releasing this in a way that is basically our body going "ow that hurts, I'm going to make myself feel better". serotonin is our bodies feel-good hormone and plays a big part in regulating mood and decreasing stress and anxiety.
Blood Circulation: True. Local blood flow is stimulated to the area. Similar to if you get a massage and afterwards the skin is redder, the tissue warmer etc. This can help to boost healing and recovery, particularly after running or sports events.
Digestion: True. Serotonin comes in again here as serotonin play s a big part in your digestive system. It helps with sleeping, eating, and digesting.
Weight Loss: Maybe. Through improving digestion and gut movement as above, the release of serotonin stimulated by acupressure mats could help regulate body weight
Nausea: False. It depends which part of your body is stimulated but acupressure can actually cause nausea at times
Cold/Flu: Unsure – we could not find any solid research that shows that acupressure mats help recover from sickness but some acupressure points in the neck can help with sinus relief etc.
Constipation: True. Serotonin again, as per above helps regulate gut movement so could definitely help with this
Brain Functions: True. Through the release of serotonin and natural painkillers, brain function is improved in terms of mood at least. Acupressure has been shown to help with depression and mental state.
Pain Relief: True.The other big way that acupressure mats, acupressure and acupuncture help is in their pain relieving ability. After 15-20 minutes of lying on an acupressure or shakti mat, our spinal cord and brainstem release natural opioid painkillers
Relaxation: True. Give both mental and physical relaxation to your body
Examples of research:
This study shows how acupressure is more effective than muscle relaxant therapy from headaches, and this lasted for 6 months
This one shows that acupressure can give an immediate improvement in anxiety levels
How to Use An Acupressure Mat
If it's your very first time using an acupressure mat, we highly recommend wearing a t-shirt or laying a towel or sheet over the mat to reduce the intensity of the pinpoints. As you gain more experience, you will be able to use the mat directly on your bare skin.
Generally, you need to lay on the mat down on any flat surface. To make yourself more comfortable, you may put a yoga mat or rug underneath the acupressure mat.
Place your target zone evenly on the nails, find a comfortable position. Most commonly acupressure mats are used for back. In fact, you can stimulate legs, buttock, legs or feet depending on the problem that you willing to solve.
The spikes can make you feel uncomfortable for the first few minutes, so give your body a little time to adjust. Finally you will feel good, believe us! Start with short intervals. After some time lay on the mat up to 20 minutes to feel energized and 20-40 minutes to feel calm and relaxed. Set a timer or listen to a guided meditation.
Tip: make sure to have the weight of your body evenly distributed across the mat. The pinpoints are quite sharp and you could hurt your skin if you concentrate the pressure on a small area.
Acupressure Mat With Pillow is a great solution if you want to work on several zones at a time.

Today I got back in the saddle as a commuter for the first time in seven months.
Admittedly, the cut and thrust of the morning rush hour caught me by surprise. I'd forgotten what it was like to find yourself stuck behind a convoy of SEVEN red buses crawling snail-like along Kensington High Street, while black cabs and white vans hogged the outside lane, and ten trillion fellow cyclists kept you company at the traffic lights.
And I'd also forgotten the delight of seeing unexpected things on your journey. This morning it was an immaculate horse-drawn carriage that looked like it had been lifted from a Charles Dickens novel. The coach driver was all decked out in appropriate 19th century garb, too.
I didn't see anything particularly exciting this evening, but I really enjoyed the journey home. It was hectic on the road, but because I didn't leave the office until 6.15pm I think I probably missed the worst of it.
I got a buzz riding the last two miles, mainly because I was accompanied by about six other cyclists, and we managed to "take the lane" as a fast-moving bunch. Safety in numbers, and all that.
And the best part? I get to do it all again tomorrow!
Total distance: 13miles (20.90km) | Ride time: 1hr, 13min and 8sec | Average speed: 10.6mph | Top speed: 18.9mph

Decor no.: 14-01059-002
Development of the Yakisugi decor was inspired by the traditional Japanese method of the same name. In this process, the top layer of wood is charred in order to preserve the wood and make it resistant to external influences and weathering. This means that it can also be used outdoors, for example as a house facade. This trend has spread from Japan to Scandinavia, and the technology is also becoming increasingly popular in Europe.
