Frameshift - Unweaving The Rainbow
Year of Release: 2003
Label: Progrock Records
Catalog Number: n/a
Format: CD
Total Time: 79:30:00
The great thing about being a consumer with a limited network is that you usually have to find out about what's going on by yourself, and much of the finding out is serendipitous. So it was that, while I was doing some research on Dream Theater, I came across the press for Frameshift and Unweaving The Rainbow. I was surprised to learn about the Frameshift project, and immediately ordered the album. I received my CD in the mail just over a week ago and I haven't listened to much else since then.
Frameshift consists of Henning Pauly (Chain) and James LaBrie (DT, of course) with a hefty assist from Nick Guadagnoli and Eddie Marvin. Unweaving The Rainbow is Pauly's concept project based on the written works of Dr. Richard Dawkins, a neo-Darwinist (huh-what?), and written specifically for vocalist LaBrie. Each song deals with some aspect of evolution, from genetic mutation and DNA to the co-evolution and flight, and incorporates a boatload of modern rock and film soundtrack elements, both of which lie well within composer Pauly's realm of expertise. His deft combining of progressive elements, electronic loops and treatments, and familiar rock and pop forms has produced a fine album that is thought-provoking, accessible, packed with great hooks, and highlighted by what may be LaBrie's finest performances to date.
If you're a fan of the big vocals harmonies of Queen and Yes ? or just vocals in general ? then you'll go nuts over Unweaving The Rainbow. Pauly's precisely choreographed vocal charts permit LaBrie to explore the limits of emotional range and create huge walls of sound by using layers of overdubbed harmonies. Every song features a bravura performance from LaBrie, from soft, plaintive solos to huge choral passages to counterpoints and rounds a la Yes, Queen, Gentle Giant, Spock's Beard, and even 10cc (remember "I'm Not In Love"'s big vocal orchestration?). Pauly also "treats" LaBrie's vocals in spots to good effect; in "Arms Races" and "Cultural Genetics," LaBrie's voice is manipulated to reinforce the scary, visceral aspects of each song.
And, although this is LaBrie's tour de force, the music must not be overlooked. Pauly, Guadagnoli, and Marvin are extremely talented musicians, and their efforts are truly equal to LaBrie's singing. All work together to create the appropriate atmosphere for each topic, in a dazzling array of forms. Acoustic balladeering ("Above The Grass ? Part 1"), techno-looped speed rock ("The Gene Machine"), soulfully funky riff metal ("Spiders"), AOR power ballads ("River Out of Eden," "Walking Through Genetic Space," "La Mer"), jaunty happy-sounding pop ("Your Eyes"), it's all here, and that's not the half of it! "Nice Guys Finish First" reflects Yes' ? particularly Jon Anderson's ? fascination with the Caribbean sound and big vocal arrangements. For B3 lovers, "Off The Ground" really gets things going with its Emerson-meets-Kansas riffs and Leslie-drenched chords. My personal favorite is "Walking Through Genetic Space" which features LaBrie's acapella vocals and lush harmonies, Rush-style guitar arpeggios (a la "The Oracle" from 2112), and Pauly's elegant piano in an emotive power ballad that inspires intimate slow-dancing (yes, dancing!) and ends far too soon ? a prime example of AOR done right!
But, in the end, it's not just LaBrie's vocals or Pauly's songs that make Unweaving The Rainbow great album. Instead, Unweaving The Rainbow transcends the sum of its parts to provide an eclectic, rocking experience that should satisfy even the most discriminating progressive rock listeners, one that needs to be heard to be believed.
Above The Grass ? Part 1 (0:43) / The Gene Machine (5:32) / Spiders (4:13) / River Out Of Eden (5:40) / Message From The Mountain (9:56) / Your Eyes (2:56) / La Mer (5:54) / Nice Guys Finish First (5:43) / Arms Races (8:33) / Origins And Miracles (5:06) / Off The Ground (5:49) / Walking Through Genetic Space (4:07) / Cultural Spaces (4:23) / Bats (3:58) / Above The Grass - Part 2 (6:51)

Happy February! Time to share another page on my mixed media art journal.
Today's page brings spring closer. Those flowers could be from an almond tree that is the first tree that blooms as the spring approaches here in Greece.
I have used fluid acrylic paints by Stamperia for my background and many more goodies such as the metal label and the wooden cage.
I have fussy cut the flowers out of a scrapbooking page and I have drawn that whimsical brush.
Such a happy page! Really happy with the outcome.

Daily Archives: July 6, 2018
John Wayne said it best, "A man's got to have a code, a creed to live by." ….and that's what this is about. I grew up in the late 40's the 50s and 60's and my father was a man's man, my brother Homer is a man's man, and I sure hope I am too. My father was a John Wayne type character, in my mind and heart. He and the Duke taught me much of what I built my Foundational Self on. So as the Duke said, "A man's got to do what a man's got to do."
He also said, "Talk low, talk slow, and don't say too much." guess I'm going to fail on that one!!! 😉 So, here are some select quotes from my father and the Duke that have helped me decide who I wanted to be, or at least who I've tried like hell to be.
"I've always followed my father's advice: he told me, first to always keep my word and second, to never insult anybody unintentionally. If I insult you, you can be damn sure I intend to. And, third, he told me not to go around looking for trouble." JW
Authenticity is one of my most valued traits in others. People who know who they are, what they believe in and are not afraid to live by that.
"Words are what men live by…words they say and mean." John Wayne
My father, William Pelle Fortney, taught me to:
Believe and trust in God.
To consider the Ten Commandments as a code to live by.
To always treat others in the same way I would like to be treated by them.
To never ask others to anything I was not willing to do myself.
To love my family and stay close to them.
Let's admit it, the world we live in, is in a stupid state today! So many people are lost, confused, desperate and afraid. Satan is having his way with us. Politics has become a contact sport, and it is not what God wants for us. Sherelene constantly has to remind me that we are not wrestlsing with men but against principalities of evil. It is the hardest thing a Chrisitan has to do, pray for those that persecute you. Watching the news I saw where a female Senator in a previous grilling of one of the people beign considered for the opening on the Supreme Court, said she had a problem with her DOGMA; (dogma | ˈdôɡmə | noun a principle or set of principles laid down by an authority as incontrovertibly true: the rejection of political dogma | the Christian dogma of the Trinity.) She is a devout Catholic and holds to the principles of her faith and this Senator saw that as a serious problem, God help us all!
"When you come slam bang up against trouble, it never looks half as bad if you face up to it." JW
If you really want to know how you are doing, look at your calendar, it will reveal what you consider most important in your life. "Spend time with your kids, they grow usp so fast." William Pelle Fortney
"A man oughta do what he thinks is right." John Wayne
What do I think is right? We better find out before we start to put our wheels or mouth in motion. I have a few;
I believe in God and I know He loves me.
My greatest desire is to share His love with others.
I love my country, stand for the National Anthem, salute the flag and support my President.
I deeply appreciate our military, police and first responders, and support them in word and deed.
I've become sadly disappointed in top people in both the FBI and DOJ.
I'm Pro Life, Anti Socialism, Pro Capitalism.
I believe in, will stand for and will defend the 2nd Amendment.
I miss the Democratic Party of John F. Kennedy.
Sorry but, "Well, there are some things a man just can't run away from." JW
"Words are what men live by…words they say and mean." JW
"When the road looks rough ahead, remember the 'Man Upstairs' and the word H-O-P-E. Hang onto both and 'tough it out." JW
"Courage is being scared to death but saddling up anyway." JW
"Stand for something, a real man doesn't doubt his convictions!" William Pelle Fortney
….and finally, "It looks like it's going to be another fine day." John Wayne
the pilgrim
My father, William Pelle Fortney, I miss him everyday….

Truck carrying Takata inflators explodes, killing Texas woman
DETROIT -- Air bag maker Takata Corp.'s troubles worsened Monday as the company confirmed that a truck carrying its inflators and a volatile chemical exploded last week in a Texas border town, killing a woman and injuring four others.
The truck, operated by a subcontractor, crashed, caught fire and exploded Aug. 22 in the small town of Quemado, about 140 miles from San Antonio, leveling the woman's house. The company says it sent people to the site and is helping authorities investigate the crash.
Takata has a warehouse in nearby Eagle Pass, Texas, and it has an air bag inflator factory across the border in Monclova, Mexico.
The News Gram of Eagle Pass identified the victim as Lucila Robles.
In a statement to CBS News correspondent Kris Van Cleave, Takata said it "has strict safety procedures relating to the transportation of its products that meet or exceed all regulatory requirements."
"Our thoughts are with the family of the woman who died as a result of this accident, and with the four people injured, who were immediately transported to San Antonio for medical treatment," the statement said.
The explosion left debris up to two miles from where the truck crashed, The News Gram reported.
Takata sent employees to the Quemado Public Library last week to advise residents to report any suspicious material on their property so it could be disposed of properly, the newspaper said. Authorities searched the area with metal detectors in an effort to find any inflator canisters.
Sheriff Tom Schmerber told the paper that to his knowledge, the county clean-up has finished.
Robles charred vehicle was one of the only items remaining at the scene of her home. It was later taken away.
Takata uses ammonium nitrate to create a small explosion that fills air bags in a crash. But the chemical can deteriorate when exposed to prolonged heat and humidity and burn too fast. That can blow apart a metal canister and hurl shrapnel into drivers and passengers. At least 11 people, and probably 14, have died worldwide due to Takata inflator explosions. The deaths have occurred in the United States and Malaysia, where three remain under investigation.
The Takata factory in Monclova made the faulty inflators that were blamed in several of the deaths.
The deaths and more than 100 injuries sparked a massive global recall of more than 100 million inflators, including 69 million in the U.S. in what has become the largest automotive recall in U.S. history.
Earlier this month Takata stuck to its forecast of a $129 million profit for the fiscal year through March. It reported a quarterly profit of $19.8 million from April through June. But analysts note that recall costs that are now being shouldered by automakers eventually will be billed to the Tokyo-based Takata, which has had two straight years of losses over the recalls.
Takata also faces multiple class-action lawsuits over its defective air bag inflators.

Stat Watch: Mobile's Impact on Brains & Business
As far back as 2014, a report in the research journal Current Biology indicated that when people spend time interacting with their smartphones via touchscreen, it actually changes the way their thumbs and brains work together. Researchers found that more touchscreen use translates directly into greater brain activity.
Flash forward a few years, and one has to imagine our brains and our thumbs are working overtime as device time has increased.
Flurry released its annual "State of Mobile" report in March 2017 and found that the average U.S. consumer spends five hours a day on mobile devices (a 20 percent increase in time spent compared to Q4 2015). Where are they spending their time? One word: apps.
Flurry reported that total time spent in mobile applications grew by 69 percent year over year. A deeper look into the data reveals that 50 percent of that time is spent in social, messaging, media and entertainment applications.
As enterprises consider whether or not to build a branded app, they will need to really question the investment's value-add to end-users and their enterprises, considering where the majority of in-app time is currently spent.
According to App Annie, the top five apps by downloads in 2016, worldwide for iOS and Google Play combined were: Facebook, WhatsApp Messenger, Facebook Messenger, Instagram and Snapchat. It is the games category, unsurprisingly, that still leads in revenue, generating the most app store revenue across iOS (75 percent) and Google Play (90 percent).
Explore more statistics which provide confirmation that mobile has had a significant impact on businesses and their users…

93%Mobile banking has become an everyday activity among consumers, and the vast majority of finance companies are optimistic about increasing revenues through mobile channels in 2017—93 percent of companies expect mobile website sales will increase, and 92 percent expect mobile app sales will increase.

As you know Plastic SCM has awesome features built in but it is challenging to address users every need in a product of this type. So with that in mind, Codice Software created an automation layer called CmdRunner that allows you to easily and quickly query large amounts of information. The best way to show you how this works will be by example so we have chosen to integrate Plastic SCM with the Slack Bot API. We will use this example throughout this document to demonstrate all of the steps necessary to perform this integration.

Bliki: DataLake
On 2015-02-05
Data Lake is a term that's appeared in this decade to describe an important component of the data analytics pipeline in the world of Big Data. The idea is to have a single store for all of the raw data that anyone in an organization might need to analyze. Commonly people use Hadoop to work on the data in the lake, but the concept is broader than just Hadoop.
When I hear about a single point to pull together all the data an organization wants to analyze, I immediately think of the notion of the data warehouse (and data mart [1]). But there is a vital distinction between the data lake and the data warehouse. The data lake stores raw data, in whatever form the data source provides. There is no assumptions about the schema of the data, each data source can use whatever schema it likes. It's up to the consumers of that data to make sense of that data for their own purposes.

Jon Stewart movie headed for Oz
Rosewater, a true-life drama about a journalist who was imprisoned in Iran, written and directed by The Daily Show's Jon Stewart, will open in Australian cinemas in January.
Transmission Films, which bought the rights after seeing the film at the Cannes Film Festival market, is planning a release on around 10 screens.
"It's a powerful and timely film," said Transmission co-founder Andrew Mackie, who had been tracking the project since meeting Stewart at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2013. "Also we're big fans of Jon Stewart, so couldn't resist."
Gael García Bernal plays Tehran-born Newsweek journalist Maziar Bahari, who returned to Iran in 2009 to interview Mir-Hossein Mousavi, the prime challenger to president Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As Mousavi's supporters rose to protest Ahmadinejad's victory declaration hours before the polls closed, Bahari took a huge personal risk by sending footage of the street riots to the BBC.
Bahari was arrested by police, led by a man identifying himself only as "Rosewater," who tortured and interrogated him over the next 118 days.
Variety's Scott Foundas said Bahari's ordeal is brought to the screen with "impressive tact and intelligence by writer-director Jon Stewart, an alternately sombre and darkly funny drama that may occupy the same geographic terrain as Argo (to which it will inevitably be compared), but in most other respects could hardly be more different."
Foundas continued, "Largely a two-hander between Bahari and the interrogator who puts him through a gauntlet of soul-crushing mind games, Stewart's confident, superbly acted debut feature works as both a stirring account of human endurance and a topical reminder of the risks faced by journalists in pursuit of the truth, minus the caper antics and flag waving of Ben Affleck's populist Oscar winner."
Film.com's James Rocchi opined, "Considering how few directors in America are willing to tackle political stories at all — never mind political stories in other nations – – Stewart deserves a nod for having actual guts and conviction in his choice of story to tell."
Open Road launches the film in the US on November 7. The Australian release date isn't set in stone but is likely to be January 22.

TWO Triple-Decker Toasted Cheese, Tomato and Herb Sandwiches
I made a tomato vegetable pie and I've given some tomatoes away, but still I pick tomatoes. Because of the previously-mentioned creature, the moment I see as much as a glimpse of color other than green, I pick a tomato and place it on the windowsill.
Thank heavens, the supply is finally winding down. But, this past week the sill was getting crowded, so I decided to have a simple sandwich supper, two nights in a row.
Thus was born TWO TRIPLE-DECKER TOASTED CHEESE, TOMATO AND HERB SANDWICHES!
Ingredients for four sandwiches...
12 slices whole grain bread
butter and/or extra virgin olive oil
4 oz. cream cheese (half an 8-oz. box)
grated cheddar cheese (I grated sharp white cheddar)
fresh tomato slices, enough to cover 8 slices of bread
fresh basil leaves, cut in thin strips
fresh sage leaves, cut in thin strips
freshly ground black pepper
raw, shredded carrots
4 oz. cream cheese (half an 8-oz. box)
shredded cheddar cheese (I bought this yellow cheddar already shredded)
fresh tomato slices, enough to cover 8 slices of bread
fresh basil leaves, cut in thin strips
fresh sage leaves, cut in thin strips
freshly ground black pepper
raw, shredded carrots
small cooking onion, cut in thin strips
1. To prepare tomatoes: slice tomatoes, place on plate and sprinkle with basil strips and freshly ground black pepper. Loosely cover and set aside.
2. To prepare cheddar cheese: grate cheese, cut fresh sage leaves in strips, mix in small bowl. Loosely cover and set aside.
3. Spread a thin layer of butter on both sides of all twelve (12) slices of bread (or brush with EVOO). Note: I used butter for the first night and brushed EVOO on my slices of bread on the second night. No noticeable difference, as far as I'm concerned.
4. For each sandwich, over medium heat, brown both sides of one slice of buttered bread and brown only one side each of the two remaining slices. You can brown all the slices as directed before assembling the sandwiches.
5. For Sandwich #2, add the step of lightly sauteing the carrots and the onions.
6. Assemble in this order: bread (untoasted side down) topped with cream cheese, tomatoes and basil; bread toasted on both sides; cheddar cheese and sage; carrots (and onions if making Sandwich #2); bread (untoasted side up).
7. Place in heated pan, over medium heat (adjust as needed), topping each sandwiches with a lid or weighted plate. Turn when bottom side is browned. Brown second side to desired doneness.
These vegetables, cheeses and herbs were used according to what was available in my garden and my refrigerator. Take a look at what you're growing or what's in your fridge and you can create your own delicious sandwich.
Aha, I just remembered... if you look closely at the layout of ingredients with the yellow cheddar, you'll see that I mixed in a few sliced almonds. A crunchy bonus!

APPLICATION: Apply STUCCO PATCH in a single application thickness from 1/8″ to 1″ (3 mm to 25 mm).
SURFACE PREPARATION: For repairs, application surface must be clean, sound and free from any materials that may inhibit bond, such as oil, asphalt, curing compound, acid, dirt and loose debris. Roughen surface and remove all unsound material. Open cracks to minimum 1/4″ (6 mm) width. In hot, dry, or windy environmental conditions pre-wetting of the surface to be patched may be necessary.
COLOR: [Off-White]. The final color of STUCCO PATCH and other cementitious materials may vary due to application techniques and environmental conditions.
MIXING: STUCCO PATCH can be mixed by hand or power-driven mechanical mixer. Organize work so that all personnel and equipment are in place before mixing. Use 1 part clean potable water to 4 parts STUCCO PATCH or 2 quarts (1.9 L) per 25-lb (11.3-kg) bag. Add STUCCO PATCH into the mix water while mixing. Mix to achieve a uniform, lump-free consistency. Clean mixing bucket and tools between batches. Do not retemper.
INSTALLATION: Apply STUCCO PATCH with a trowel or putty knife. Place quickly to allow for maximum finishing time. Use a trowel, float or sponge to match the texture with the surrounding area. STUCCO PATCH may be primed and painted after approximately 2 hours.
Rapid Set® STUCCO PATCH does not require water curing or curing compound under moderate conditions at 70°F (21°C). In dry, windy or hot conditions, mist with water to maintain a continuously wet surface until the product has achieved sufficient strength.
COLD WEATHER: Environmental and material temperatures below 70°F (21°C) may delay setting time and reduce the rate of strength gain. Lower temperatures will have a more pronounced effect. Thinner sections will be more significantly affected. To compensate for cold temperatures, keep material warm and/or use heated mix water.
WARM WEATHER: Environmental and material temperatures above 70°F (21°C) may speed setting time and increase the rate of strength gain. Higher temperatures will have a more pronounced effect. To compensate for warm temperatures, keep material cool and/or use chilled mix water. The use of Rapid Set® SET Control® retarding admixture from the Rapid Set® Concrete Pharmacy® will help offset the effects of high temperatures.

May cause cancer.
In 1997, IARC (the International Agency for Research on Cancer) concluded that crystalline silica inhaled from occupational sources can cause lung cancer in humans. However in making the overall evaluation, IARC noted that "carcinogenicity was not detected in all industrial circumstances studied. Carcinogenicity may be dependent on inherent characteristics of the crystalline silica or on external factors affecting its biological activity or distribution of its polymorphs." (IARC Monographs on the evaluation of the carcinogenic risks of chemicals to humans, Silica, silicates dust and organic fibres, 1997, Vol. 68, IARC, Lyon, France.) In June 2003, SCOEL (the EU Scientific Committee on Occupational Exposure Limits) concluded that the main effect in humans of the inhalation of respirable crystalline silica dust is silicosis. "There is sufficient information to conclude that the relative risk of lung cancer is increased in persons with silicosis (and, apparently, not in employees without silicosis exposed to silica dust in quarries and in the ceramic industry). Therefore, preventing the onset of silicosis will also reduce the cancer risk…" (SCOEL SUM Doc 94-final, June 2003) According to the current state of the art, worker protection against silicosis can be consistently assured by respecting the existing regulatory occupational exposure limits. Occupational exposure to respirable dust and respirable crystalline silica should be monitored and controlled.

I have just read about the diorite in the section on rocks of Minerals, Rocks & Fossils by A. C. Bishop, A. R. Woolley, and W. R. Hamilton. I gather that xenoliths are common in this rock, whose constituent mineral feldspar or hornblende may form phenocrysts and make it porphyritic.
Everybody ought to know that geological rocks come in three varieties: igneous, metamorphic, sedimentary – and anyone who does not know this should be treated with the ridicule due to one contestant I once saw on "Eggheads" who thought Hawaii was in the Indian Ocean. Diorite, in particular, is igneous.

When you use a subject looking slightly to a single side, you happen to be going to place the critical light on their face from that side. For instance, Multi LED headlights use more than three LEDs learn how to illumination. Ford F-150 Black Crystal Headlights with CCFL Halo have black crystal housing as well as a super bright CCFL Halo ring. NEON: At first, all channel letters were illuminated with neon. Besides, they are engineered and developed under OEM stipulations, which guarantee their reliability and efficacy.
The harsh lights it will provide can make the night seem like day. But if chosen properly, lighting fixtures can add character and sweetness to a room, a particular area, as well as an entire house. These stores listed at http://www.autoanything.com/lights/spyder-headlights provide these lighting kits with ready to install plug and play organization which do not require any modification. However, in most cars, the sunshine installation can be challenging thereby can cost $1,000 or more. A bit of night club equipment that it can be possible to use for the dance floor is disco balls.
Then rotate it slightly away from the subject to lower the intensity. That bulb has burned continually – without the occasional power outage – for nearly four years. A home is made up of several nooks and crannies, rooms and areas, and they also all require ample lighting. Hence, they may be categorized according to years, that are four in number.

These photos made me slightly less sad that I missed a trip to Brooklyn Botanic Gardens due to travel obligations this year. Shout out to Kelly for the beautiful images! These were taken in Central Park at the Conservatory Garden which is such a gorgeous oasis in the middle of NYC at this time of year.
I officially found my spring to summer dress for 2018 with this pink palm print dress (find it here) and I don't plan on ever taking it off. When I say that, I mean that quite literally. 😉 My friends laugh at me because you'd assume that since I run a style blog, I'd be Ms. Fashionista but nope. The reality is that I wear the same dress for weeks at a time. I stick to the same couple of dresses and literally wear nothing else for months! Ha ha. And yes, now it's out there on the internet for everyone to know.
Even though I'm not a huge fan of pink, this palm print dress spoke to me on a spiritual level. 🙂 For sizing information, this dress runs really, really generous so I recommend sizing down at least one full size. It's nice and flowy but has some cinching at the waist for shape. And the palm print is adorable. I will definitely be wearing this palm print dress for dressier occasions but also for just walking around the city as well as for work too.
Other cute spring to summer dresses recently on the blog here– this is the dress and it's $89.

Hello everyone. Today has been quite a good day. I met a new friend. My mom drove me out to Sherrway Gardens where Sarah and I spent around an hour and a half in conversation while mom did some shopping and looking around the mall. With both of us needing to coordinate with other people for rides to an from such meetings, we won't be able to see each other too frequently but it should be possible to do sometimes. She appreciates me being patient as she tries to get her thoughts out. I get the sense that a lot of other people don't always take the time to fully understand what she's saying. I got her laughing on several occasions. She's got a perfectly good sharp mind and I can confidently say that I've indeed found a very good friend.
I got all the way out to Battleford today when I tried to practice my route and met an elderly lady who was trying to sell a VCR as well as a fountain. How's that for a strange combination? She had them up on a little table on her driveway. I couldn't remember what I was supposed to do once at Battleford so I decided to turn back at that point. My next lesson is tomorrow.
To top all that off, I hear from Angela, a long-time friend who has now settled in a new house in Woodbridge along with her musical fun-loving husband Tony. Angela's also getting a Trekkor Breeze shortly. I hope to see her for a coffee or something in a couple of weeks or so.
This evening, I listened with delight as the space shuttle Endeavour at last was able to launch successfully. There are now two Canadian astronaughts in space for the first time in history. Damn if that isn't the coolest and I got to hear it live via the internet. It was the first launch I've been able to catch on my new Bose speakers and it sounded absolutely splendid. They'll be docking with the spacestation on friday.
So far, I haven't had any luck at all when it comes to anything more serious than possible new friends. However, Adam, my good friend, has apparently had somewhat better luck there. I treeted him to an Extreme Peta last night and we spent an enjoyable evening playing Civ IV together. Not having insomnia imparing my judgement during this cession, my country performed somewhat better and I've recaptured some of the territory I previously lost. On the down side, I'm currently at war with a couple of countries at once. So far, I seem to be holding my own thanks to my alliance with Adam's ultrapowerful country.
Work on my own game is moving forward again but the book I just finished from MIT press has given me a lot of food for serious thinking. I'm trying to come up with a cast of characters which will divide up the responsibility among one or more players fairly equitably. The player who fills the role of the wizard will still be ultimately in charge but the other players need to have enough scope for their own decision-making within the overarching goles the wizard sets out. Balancing that so that everyone has constant fun is going to be a pretty tall order. It'll probably take some time to come up with a new cast of characters who properly accomplish this. I'm very thankful not to have that sense of utter powerlessness I've suffered with these past weeks. I may be chipping away at a very large iceburg but at least the axe is chipping off small shards from it once again. .

Observational portrait of four Afro barbers, films its subjects over the course of one week. Delving into what people's relationship to those that cut their hair really means in the twenty first century, the film takes in barber chairs in Ghana, Jamaica, USA and the UK, interweaves their stories and examines both the similarities and differences in their experiences. What emerges is the colourful, polarised lives of four men who do the same thing in different time zones, with very different realities.

See The Zogby "Blind Bio" Poll Results For Yourself! Our President, Dr Ron Paul Wins!
November 22, 2007
The Ron Paul Zogby Poll: Simplified
LRC: When All Groups Are Polled, Ron Paul Wins
Chris Brunner / LRC Blog | November 20, 2007
COMMENT: Setting aside the interesting data that shows Ron Paul marginalizes no one, LRC makes clear a strong point: When All Groups Are Polled, Ron Paul Wins. Ron Paul is doing well, and he stands to do even better by bounds (as his recognition grows).
See demographic analysis here, comments from Zogby pollster Fritz Wenzel here, and the Zogby poll itself here.
Zogby released the results of its latest telephone survey today which is known as a "blind bio" poll because likely voters are given details of the candidates' resumes without their names attached. Among Republicans, Dr. Paul came in 3rd, with 13%. However, when Democrats and Independents were included in the group surveyed, Dr. Paul won with 33%.
Thanks to Pieter Friedrich for pointing this out.

"May your days be merry and bright!" Christmas is in full swing around here! We put up our decorations and now there is nothing better than sitting in the living room with a heavy knit throw, a toasty fire in the fireplace, and lights, lights, lights! The cold weather makes me crave nummy cocoa and of course, turkey with the fixins'!
Ahhhh… The holidays! 🙂 I took all of these photos in my house! The big turkey, mashed tatoes, stuffing, and green bean casserole we made after Thanksgiving because we just couldn't get enough! This was actually my first time making a turkey and Ryley's first time carving one!
"And may all your Christmases be white!"

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- SanDisk over the weekend agreed to buy rival M-Systems Ltd. in a bid to accelerate its push in the market for NAND flash, a fast-growing memory-chip technology used in portable electronics.
SanDisk late Sunday said it would pay $1.5 billion for M-Systems, a 13% premium based on Friday's closing prices. It's offering 0.76368 of its own shares for each M-Systems share, valuing the company at $36 a share. If the deal closes, SanDisk shareholders will own 86% of the combined company.
SanDisk SNDK said the deal is a 26% premium over the average close for M-Systems FLSH shares over the last 30 days.
In trading Monday, M-Systems shares shot up over 13%, or $4.21, to $36. SanDisk fell 48 cents to $46.66.
In a conference call Monday, SanDisk Chairman and Chief Executive Eli Harari explained that "the strategic rationale for this transaction is quite simple. It's all about growth."
Technology companies want to capitalize on the NAND flash boom. The technology is widely prevalent in digital cameras and hand-held music players, such as Apple Computer Inc.'s iPod music player. SanDisk makes its own music player too, called the Sansa.
Semico Research Corp. analyst Jim Handy estimates global NAND flash sales will hit $16 billion in 2006, up 40% from 2005, a year in which industry sales grew at a 62% clip.
NAND flash is gaining traction in cell phones as phones add more built-in features that let consumers snap pictures, listen to music and download videos. This has increased the need for more data storage in portable devices.
"This will be seen as an offensive deal," wrote Caris & Co. analyst Rick Whittington, who called the deal a "good strategic move" by SanDisk. He rates the shares above average.
Laptop computers are another budding market. In May, Samsung Electronics Co. launched a laptop that uses NAND flash for its storage, instead of a hard disk drive.
SanDisk has been ramping up its output of NAND flash through a joint venture with Toshiba Corp. The companies are expanding manufacturing lines at one plant, while constructing another factory set to open in late 2007.
The deal extends recent consolidation in the NAND flash industry.
In June, Micron Technology, a relative newcomer in the NAND market, closed its $850 million purchase of Lexar Media, the sole supplier of flash cards used in Kodak's digital cameras. Micron
Based in Israel, M-Systems makes flash drives that stores digital-data content in mobile phones Its top customers include LG Corp., Motorola, Inc., Palm, Inc., Samsung Corp. and Sony Ericsson Mobile Communications. It also makes USB flash drives.
M-Systems recently had to restate six years of financial results due to its accounting for stock options. That issued forced the company to delay a secondary stock offering, a deal in which it planned to sell 8.7 million shares.
The SanDisk deal needs the approval of M-Systems shareholders and Israeli courts. It's expected to close in the fourth quarter, at which time M-Systems will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of SanDisk.

The famous star, from one of my favorite movies 10 Things I Hate About You and that gay romance Brokeback Mountain, which I found quite entertaining, has suddenly died. The whole thing is shocking and unfortunate. The young star is supposed to appear in the new Batman movie as the Joker, and that role is said to have maybe influenced potential drug intake. RIP Heath, we barely knew ye!!!!

In The Help, one of the lead characters, a maid, tells a neglected child "You is strong, you is loved, you is important." It's an interesting choice of words.
These are self-esteem based words. They are the sort that build up the person internally. The sort of words one needs when the world is forcing an identity on you and you need to push back against that.
It's interesting to note that this comes from ancient Judaism. There's a passage where God tells the Israelites: Let the weak say I am strong, . . . ." The upshot here is You is strong (politically powerful), you is rich, you is free, you is well (healthy).
All these words are external. Presumably self-esteem wasn't an issue? So these are very different than the words one might choose if one already felt strong, loved, and important (ie, had good self-esteem). It shows a certain truth perhaps, that only when one's internal world is sorted does the external world become maliable.
That being the case, whether your party/candidate/issue won or lost last night, You is . . . still an American, You is . . . still part of the One Nation for which we all stand. And You is . . . still free to grow, change, reinvent, start up, opt out, learn, live, love, dream, hope, do, be, see . . . . You is, baby. You is! So fly!

Peterson ATS Sawmill – Side by Side Sizing Winches
Both vertical sizing winches on the ATS (All Terrain Sawmill) are at the operator's end to minimise walking time, unlike imitation models by other companies, that position the winches at each end. Additional crank handles for the ATS allow you to adjust the log taper easily. This means more efficient cutting and greater recovery from your log.
Petersons genius parallel track raising design, means minimal uneven boards and more consistency. Two great strengths of a Peterson Swingmill are its portability and the huge variety of cuts possible. The ATS takes both these features to the extreme.

Our Beliefs:
Life makes sense only in light of a God who is personal, relational and full of love. (1 John 4:16)
God made the world and everything in it to mirror and reflect his character. (Genesis 1:1; John 1:1-3)
God made humans to live in this world in peace and joy, sharing his love with one another. (Genesis 1:26-28)
God has given us the freedom to say YES or NO to his invitation to live under his gracious rule. Sadly, our NO has led us down the road to alienation, self-destruction, and death. (Genesis 3:1-19; Romans 1:18-32)
God so wanted us to find the road to wholeness and life that he sent his beloved son, Jesus, to show us the way. (John 1:14-18; 3:16-17)
Jesus was the most wonderful person who ever set foot on this planet. Although he was fully divine, he took on full humanity in order to identify with us. He taught us how to live with him in God's Kingdom. He suffered for our wrongdoings and was put to death for our sinful ways. Why would the eternally perfect Son of God embrace agony and death? He did this so that we might be restored to a right relationship with God, with others, and with ourselves. After he was killed, Jesus was raised back to life and then went home to heaven to be with his heavenly Father. (Philippians 2:5-13; Hebrews 12:1-2)
Jesus is still in the world today through his Spirit, calling all people everywhere to join him right now in serving God and others. (John 14:15-18; Acts 1:6-8)
All who follow Jesus discover a community of fellow-believers and friends that becomes our spiritual family. Jesus calls it his body on earth. We call it the church. It is the hope of the world. Its purpose is to continue Jesus' work of loving all people and helping them find new life in God. (Matthew 16:18; Romans 12:3-8)
Baptism signifies and celebrates being born again into God's family. It requires active faith in Jesus, so we baptize people after they have chosen to follow Christ. (Romans 6:4)
Communion signifies and celebrates God's pardon and presence in our lives. In a unique and spiritual way, Jesus makes himself known to his followers at the Lord's Supper. (Matthew 26:26-29)
There is an evil presence in the world that seeks to undermine all the good things God is doing. We are called to resist this Evil One through prayer, perseverance, and the support of fellow-believers. (Matthew 4:1-11; Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 5:8-9)
God is guiding human history according to his own perfect plan. One day Jesus will come back to earth, and that will be the end of the world as we know it. On that day God will make all things new, defeat evil once and for all, fulfill our best hopes, restore our broken relationships, heal our wounds, and reveal his love fully and perfectly. (1 Corinthians 15:22-28; Revelation 20-22)
The God whom we worship and love is eternally one God, yet has revealed himself in history as existing in three persons. God is Father, Son, and Spirit – yet without being three separate or distinct Gods, and without being one God with three phases or forms. God is one and God is three: this is the mystery of the Christian faith. Belief in God as Trinity reflects orthodox Christian theology and sets Christianity apart from all other religions and faiths. (Matthew 28:18-20; 2 Corinthians 13:13)
This awesome story of God and his purposes is told in the Bible, which we believe is God's written Word that testifies to his living Word, Jesus Christ. (2 Timothy 3:16-17)
