Getting To Yes: The Process Behind Getting the Keeper
"In the world of digital media, we have a wonderful tool in the form of instant feedback - the LCD screen. In this presentation I will share how I use and abuse this feedback from my initial vision of the image to the final product (the "keeper" ... yes!). I'll walk through some of my favorite and most recent images and share my creative process from start to finish." - Michael Zeigler
Ever since taking his first underwater photo in 2009, Michael Zeigler has been obsessed with underwater photography. Since then, he has had the opportunity and privilege to work with some of the best editors from around the world, has become a member of the Ocean Artists Society, and has co-founded the company Immersed Imaging with his good friend, Todd Winner. Although Michael has had the opportunity to dive many amazing places around the world, he prefers capturing the beauty of the diverse marine life that inhabits the rich kelp forests of Southern California.

User talk:Banner
Hi there, Banner - welcome to WikiFur! Thanks for introducing yourself - I'm guessing you'll be interested in working on the articles about The Lining and StarrBucks. :-)
Let me know on my user talk page if you need any help not already provided. Again, welcome! --GreenReaper(talk) 01:03, 25 Sep 2005 (UTC)
General page template[edit]
IS there a general page template anywhere? One I can just cut and paste into a page I'm writing, and then fill in the areas so the format is the same as all the others?
It'd make things easier for lazy people like me :-) --Banner
- I don't think there is, though you could try this:
[[Image:Something.png|right|200px|Title of image]] '''Something''' is/are . . . == External links == [[Category:Something]]
- Frankly, the best way would probably to find a page close to the one you want to edit and copy the style from there. Different pages with different topics and content require different approaches. --GreenReaper(talk) 05:29, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Also, StarrBucks has two 'r's in it. Could you edit the refering link and title page? I don't know where that gets done. --Banner
- mwalimu beat me to the move (click the tab at the top of the page, select the new name). The linking pages to a page can be found by clicking "What links here" at the left of the page. --GreenReaper(talk) 05:37, 22 Oct 2005 (UTC)
Rolled back edit to The Lining[edit]
Note about your last edit to The Lining article, I've rolled back the last edit you made to the lining article as my personal thoughts are that the wording as it stands gives an accurate picture as to the nature of the place without having to list every sexual preference.
As I said in my edit summary, "As mentioned by someone else, a straight/bi/gay bar is just.. a bar! I'll reword the Clientele section for clarifications.)", I felt my edit reflected that however its clearly not so if you felt the need to change it back again.
The line as it stands is:
- The Lining while more than often prefered as the meeting play on Tapestries for gay males, it is friendly to all sexual preferences.
Would maybe 'it is open to all sexual preferences' make it more clear? And I think play was supposed to be the word 'place'. And prefered should be 'preferred'. My bad there. x.X
I'd like to discuss. :)
--Nidonocu - talk 04:59, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
I'm not sure if I'm using this talk thing right but: A Bi/Gay/Straight bar -is a type of bar-. Just like gay bars are gay bars, and bi bars are bi bars. It's not just a 'bar', regular bars are NOT Bi/Gay/Straight, they're Straight Bars. As a bar fan (I love bars more than you can imagine) I know my bars, and a Bi/Gay/Straight bar is a very certain type of bar and yes it does matter. Sorry for the lecture.
Okay, since there seems to be some difference of opinions with this...Perhaps a vote? I personally agree with Nidonocu, as a bi/gay/straight bar pretty much covers all the bases. However, I do see Banner's POV, as a 'bar' is generally straight-only...but on Taps as well? Spaz Kitty 05:11, 6 July 2006 (UTC)
bi/gay/straight bar != bar. Saying they're the same is like saying a McDonalds = Denny's. Look, go out to a bar in your town that clearly says it's a Bi/Gay/Straight bar. Then go to a Straight bar, and then a gay one. You'll notice the difference in decor, attitude, events, and clientele. Trust me on this. - Banner
- I suppose there is the issue of context here. On Taps it is common to have all forms of sexual oritentation happening everywhere so unless the bar has a fixed assignment (for example, I believe there is a specific lesbian bar on Taps) then all 'bars' on Taps are pretty much 'gay/bi/straight' bars. This of course does differ to the real world where most bars are straight and distinctions are needed. Should maybe some text be added to point out this fact? I don't also want to loose the fact that of course, while it is g/b/s in theme, it also is mostly frequented by gay males and is by and large the de facto meeting place for them. --Nidonocu - talk 05:24, 6 July 2006 (UTC)

Executive SummaryReality Check Reveals Ed-Tech Challenges in K-12
Schools are learning hard lessons about the difficulties of putting in place 1-to-1 computing programs and digital curricula initiatives meant to encourage innovation and fuel academic growth.
A mountain of evidence indicates that educators have been painfully slow to use technology to change and improve the ways they teach.• Q&A: A Hard Look at L.A.'s Troubled Digital Learning Initiative
Schools wrestle with whether to use an eclectic mix of devices or to rely heavily on one type of technology to build their 1-to-1 computing programs.
Errors by districts rolling out device initiatives are serving as warnings for education leaders implementing new programs.• How to Avoid Costly 1-to-1 Computing Mistakes
The advent of this "modular" delivery option for digital content has major implications for the education publishing industry and for school districts themselves.
School districts are putting technology experts at the head of the table in the labor-intensive process of choosing curricula for common-core instruction.
A pair of K-12 systems in Washington state have devoted a lot of time and money to adopting open educational resources, efforts they believe will pay off.• District Makes Far-Reaching Change to Open Resources

What happens when you ask artists and designers to experiment with cutting-edge technology with a view to discovering a new aesthetic? Trish Lorenz gets
a sneak preview of insects scanned in 3D and other quirky delights for an upcoming show
Digital Explorers: Discovery, an exhibition that opens at London's Metropolitan Works next month, features work by nine artists and designers, among them luminaries such as Antony Gormley and Tord Boontje and studios including Timorous Beasties and Committee. Each participant was asked to experiment with Metropolitan Works' digital design equipment and the result is a diverse range of projects, some crawling with patterns, others fused and sculptural, all managing to transcend the boundaries between the hand-crafted and the digital age.
Many of the participants came to the project new to the technology and used the opportunity to experiment with materials. Scottish design group Timorous Beasties is known for its provocative textiles and wallpapers, but this exhibition sees the designers using a laser cutter for the first time and etching a series of tessellating patterns on to the surfaces of bricks.
Painter Guy Beggs' piece Fallen Leaves is a three-dimensional development of a painting inspired by the sight of fragile leaves trapped in a steel grid. Built entirely in nylon, it demonstrates the surprisingly delicate effects that can be achieved using rapid prototyping.
Boontje has worked with rapid prototyping before and experimented here with 3D scanning. His stainless steel stereo speakers swarm with insects and flowers, surreal yet beautiful. Boontje scanned real plants and insects and then digitally sampled, cut, mixed, enlarged and rearranged them to create the decoration for these fully functioning speakers. 'There's an analogy with music – taking samples of existing things,' he says of the design. 'It's amazing to see the finished product and the level of detail. You can't imagine how it could have been made in a traditional way; it defies logic.' The challenge in working digitally is to be neither constrained nor intimidated by the technology, says Boontje. 'You have to forget about traditional methods of building an object and be flexible, but at the same time you don't want the technology to lead the aesthetics, otherwise you end up with a computer-generated look,' he says.
Metropolitan Works centre manager Matthew Lewis says the exhibition shows that digital technology offers a real creative outlet. 'Technology comes into its own when given to creative people who are interested in exploring the new languages that come out of it,' he says. 'Experimenting with this new technology has influenced not only how things are made but also what is made. The pieces have a new dimension in terms of how the designers have thought and worked.'
The exhibition, designed by graphics consultancy Oscar & Ewan, is part of a launch programme for Metropolitan Works' new £4.5m Creative Industries Centre, which opens on 4 February. Created by architect Cartwright Pickard, the 1100m2 centre will offer creative businesses access to manufacturing and prototyping across a wide range of digital technology, including a large five-axis router and water cutter, 3D printing, laser sintering, rapid prototyping and 3D scanning technologies. A range of training courses, talks and workspaces are also available on a pay-and-go basis.
Digital Explorers: Discovery runs at Metropolitan Works, 41 Commercial Road (Weyhill Road entrance), London E1 from 9 February to 12 March

Soon the Comprehensive Spending Review (CSR) settlement will be announced. At the time of writing, it is rumoured that everything is settled save for the two broad heads covered by the Department of Health: the National Health Service (NHS) and adult social care (LGA, 2007). For several years, it has been suggested that there will be little real increase in the allocation for councils with responsibility for social services (CSSRs) during the coming triennium, and perhaps for a long time thereafter.

What a great week. An excellent Bonfire Night, President Obama re-elected, and then I get an email with the subject line 'Congratulations from Poetry News' and find my 'absent' themed poem will be in the December edition. Ah, where would we be without small victories? Because I admit I am STUPIDLY excited.
It's my first proper effort at using spaces in a poem (instead of commas and my beloved dashes, which are a bit of a habit), something I have Catherine Smith to thank for as it was one of the things she got us doing on a Poetry School course I was on earlier this year.
So here's to experimentation. But … I'm looking forward to 'one day' developing some sort of consistent style. Or is that like wanting to grow up too soon? Is it good to keep trying different things and going off on tangents? Poets I meet when workshopping are often working on bigger, over-arching projects or themes, and I sometimes wonder if I'll never get to the stage of a publishable pamphlet unless I settle into writing a coherent body of poems, rather than blurting out isolated pieces that have nothing in common. What do you think?
Congratulations (again)! I look forward to reading your poem in Poetry News. I understand what you mean about seemingly writing disparate poems without a common thread, but I know that some poets have said they submit a collection of poems and leave it to the editor/readers to create their own themes. I am working towards a pamphlet and it has helped me to settle on a title. But I fear I'm still some way off – you seem to be doing brilliantly with your recent acceptances.

Here's a catch 22 you might be familiar with. Many adults who haven't completed their undergraduate education reach a plateau in their careers that can only be overcome by having a degree. However, without the higher income from a more advanced position, it can seem impossible to afford the education to complete the degree that would enable advancement. Sound like thoughts you've had before? Our academic advisors are familiar with these challenges adult students face in returning to college.
Enter Linfield's initiatives for adult learners to help finance your college education. We have several methods to make college more affordable for adults returning to school, and the best part is that they have proven to be successful.
Our first way that we help students to scale the wall of higher education cost is to offer knowledgeable financial aid counselors who will help students to successfully navigate the application process for government supported grants and loans. As our Financial Aid Counselor Sandra Tello says, "There is financial aid for everyone."
Our second tool for helping students to find the means to pay for college is to offer Path to Scholarships workshops. For years, our workshops and webinars have helped adult students successfully win scholarships to help pay for college.
We have established scholarships specifically for Adult Degree Program students. Alumni and friends of the ADP support the scholarship funds. One of these scholarship funds, the Adult Degree Program Alumni Scholarship is now in its twentieth year. Current ADP students are eligible for the scholarships, which are awarded in the fall and spring semesters to students who demonstrate academic merit and financial need.
This semester's ADP Alumni Scholarship scholar is Janie Marsh, a senior majoring in Social and Behavioral Sciences. Like many adults returning to college, Marsh has worked through numerous obstacles to achieve her bachelor's degree. In her words, she was a "high school dropout" who achieved academic success later in life at Chemeketa Community College, where she earned her associate degree, and now is excelling in her courses at Linfield College. Gerardo Ochoa, Associate Director of Financial Aid on Linfield's Portland campus says, "Janie Marsh is a diligent student who has done a great job at turning her personal obstacles into character qualities, precisely what scholarships providers, colleges, and employers are looking for."
Our final tactic for reducing the high cost of attending college is our online program format, which is ideal for working professionals who cannot afford to quit their jobs in order to attend college. In fact, this format is the key piece that enabled scholarship winner Marsh to obtain her degree. After earning her associate degree, Marsh transferred to Linfield College as a fulltime on-campus student, while maintaining employment part time. She was able to accept a fulltime position offered by her employer without interrupting her education thanks to our online degree completion program.
Not only does the flexible structure of our online programs enable learners to keep their fulltime employment, but many adult students, like Marsh, thrive with an online learning format. One of Janie's professors at Linfield, Dr. David Groff, said, "Janie really engaged actively in classroom discussion in the online format. She contributed very thoughtful comments throughout the course."
As for Marsh, her future is even brighter now that her bachelor's degree is within arm's reach. She says, "My career aspiration is to become a therapist in the field of mental health and addictions, with a specialization in the emerging field of eco-psychology." Eco-psychology involves utilizing the therapeutic approaches inherent in the natural environment (like gardening, hiking, and spending time in nature) to help people to improve their mental, physical, and spiritual wellbeing. She is preparing to enter a master's degree program in the professional field.
In addition to successfully navigating through college, finding the means to finance her education, and launching her career in the field she loves, Marsh will enjoy an additional achievement this June: she will be graduating alongside her son, who is also a soon-to-be Linfield grad.

Rock historians debate the ignition point of the genre. Some cite Louis Jordan's 1940s hits like "Caledonia" and "G.I. Jive." Others, the day Ike Turner & His Kings of Rhythm pulled into Sam Phillips' Memphis Recording Service and cut "Rocket 88." And what about Chuck Berry's smash debut "Maybelline" and Little Richard's "Tutti-Fruitti?"
But many, perhaps even most, fans of American music would say that rock 'n' roll was born on July 5, 1954, when 19-year-old Elvis Presley recorded a hepped-up version of bluesman Arthur Crudup's "That's All Right Mama" that set into motion the machinery that would make him the world's first rock star.
Guitar history was also made that day, thanks to the sliding, rolling, chiming licks that Elvis' six-stringer Scotty Moore ladled into the song's groove. By the time Phillips' tape machine stopped rolling, Moore had become the first rock lead guitar player. And Gibson was there, thanks to the 1953 ES-295 that Moore wore around his neck.
When Moore ended his military service a few years earlier, he'd tried a few solid body guitars, but found them incompatible with his acoustic instrument background. Finally he came upon a gold ES-295 with two P-90 pickups in a Memphis instrument shop, and it was love at first chord.
To this day the 78-year-old picker has never recorded with any guitar other than those in his own collection, and many of them have been Gibsons – all archtop hollowbody and semi-hollowbody models, strung with a heavy gauge that's suitable for his rollicking style, which alternates almost constantly between deft single-string picking and booming chords.
The Gibson Company unveiled the ES-295 in 1952 as an update of the ES-175, which debuted in 1949. The sizeable hollowbodied ES-175 was created as a lower-priced alternative to the classic L-5 CES and boasted a carved rosewood bridge, one P-90, a laminate top and a single, deep Venetian style cutaway. The ES-295 was essentially the same guitar fortified with two pickups and available in gold.
Moore used his original ES-295 on "Baby, Let's Play House," "Good Rockin' Tonight," "Heartbreak Hotel" and a slew of other hits that helped define rock 'n' roll and made Elvis a giant. Moore's playing on these tracks also made the ES-295 the "ultimate rockabilly guitar," in the words of Brian Setzer.
Nonetheless, by the time Elvis and Moore recorded "Mystery Train" in 1955, the legendary Tennessee picker has switched to a Gibson L-5 CES as his main axe. The L-5 dates back to 1922 when the cello-shaped f-hole-bearing acoustic was designed by the great Gibson luthier Lloyd Loar. The L-5 CES was created in 1951, when Gibson, bearing the modifications of two P-90s pickups and a rosewood bridge, produced the first 31. Moore can be heard playing his blonde L-5 CES on "Blue Suede Shoes," "Hound Dog" and "Don't Be Cruel," all bold slices of rock history.
Next came a sunburst Gibson Super 400 CES, the electrified version of the big-bodied acoustic beauty that Gibson first began producing in 1934. Moore's had two square pole Alnico pickups and looked pretty as a rose thanks to its gorgeous finish, split-diamond headstock inlay, sculpted tailpiece and split-block neck inlays. It can be heard on the Jailhouse Rock and King Creole recordings, the albums that accompanied two of Elvis' best films. In 1964 Moore got a second Super 400 CES that he played on Presley's famed so-called "'68 Comeback" TV special, where Moore briefly swapped the guitar for Elvis' Gibson J-200 acoustic for a handful of songs when Elvis played electric.
Producer Chips Moman, who was based at Memphis' American Sound Recording Studios, purchased Moore's first Super 400 CES. When Elvis visited the studio to record in 1969, it was still hanging on the wall. Session guitarist Reggie Young took the instrument down and used it on the sessions that produced "In the Ghetto," "Suspicious Minds" and "Kentucky Rain."
As the years went by, Moore began looking for a thinner-bodied guitar. He experimented with a 1981 reissue Gibson 1959 ES-335, but eventually settled on a Gibson Chet Atkins model. He got his first from Chet himself in 1989. It was a prototype made by Gibson master builder Jim Hutchins. After he nearly lost the guitar in an airline snafu, Moore asked Hutchins to build him another, which has been his main stage guitar since 2002.
Although Moore's recording history begins with Elvis, it doesn't end with "The King." Moore can also be heard on albums by country legends Ernest Tubb and Charlie Rich, rockers Ron Wood and Dale Hawkins, blues artists Joe Louis Walker and Tracy Nelson, and many others.

Stamford firefighters save deer from reservoir
A deer pulled from a reservoir in town Thursday afternoon appeared to be uninjured, officials said.
A live deer was stuck about 200 feet out on the ice of the Laurel Reservoir, according to New Canaan Animal Control Officer Allyson Halm. She said the deer was in the reservoir, which is in Stamford, but was easier to get to from the New Canaan shoreline.
"It was very close to where the ice had stopped freezing and there was open water," Halm said.
She said a Stamford firefighter, wearing a cold water rescue suit, crawled across the ice on his hands and knees to get to the deer and got a rope around the animal so it could be pulled to safety.
"They did a fabulous job," Halm said of those involved in the rescue. She said the deer "needed time to recuperate," but didn't seem to be injured.

Innovation on tour. Reversed Stern Drive Tug 2513 from the operator's perspective
André Versnel
Martin Been
Chief Engineer
Through our channels – the Damen Magazine, websites, social media platforms and through press releases, Damen has recently been telling the story behind the development of the Reversed Stern Drive (RSD) Tug 2513 and the benefits it offers. We've highlighted its safety features, future-proof green credentials and operational efficiency. We've discussed its reliability – which comes courtesy of a winning combination of innovation and proven Damen knowledge and processes.
Straightforward & relevant
"The first thing you notice," Martin begins, "is the simplicity of the design. It's straightforward, but at the same time completely relevant and fine-tuned for the tasks it should perform."
André: "I have been happily surprised by the vessel. The simplicity, the manoeuvrability, the view from the wheelhouse and the amount of storage space available thanks to the engine room refit are all very positive features from the operator's perspective."
Damen has put a lot of thought into ergonomics during five years of R&D for the RSD 2513. The controls of the vessel, for example have been laid out according to feedback Damen has gathered from its clients.
There is still a lot of information presented by the new interface of alarm monitoring and control system, but the RSD Tug 2513 takes the next step in this area by giving you more control over this.
A vessel true to its roots
Despite the abundance of innovation featured on the RSD Tug 2513, Damen has taken care not to lose sight of the proven technology that it already has in its portfolio. The new vessel features, for example, elements from Damen's ATD Tugs as well as the highly successful ASD Tug 2411 and represents a powerful blending of the present with the future. It goes, as Martin says, "back to the essence of towing, but in a modern way."
Maximum uptime
Leaning heavily on its Damen pedigree, the RSD Tug 2513 applies substantial modularity. This helps to make sure that the vessel does exactly what's needed of it, whilst also offering commonality to ensure crew familiarity with any Damen tug. This standardised approach extends to the engine room layout, which is spacious and open.
Martin: "For the engineer, the layout of the engine room is perfect. Almost all the pipelines are above the floor level, making them very easy to follow. Because of the simple set up there will be significantly less downtime for repair and maintenance – you can truly say in this case that less is more."
Security for the future
In its mission to future proof the RSD Tug 2513, Damen has sought to go way beyond current requirements in terms of safety and comfort.
André: "Safety is much improved on this vessel. For example, the overall view from the wheelhouse is better and the working space on the deck is spacious and uncluttered – unmatched in any other tug."
The vessel essentially has two bows. The always bow first approach means optimal performance on both bow and stern assist work. It also allowed Damen to create a higher than normal freeboard to keep water off deck. Innovation is also one of the first Damen vessels to feature the new Damen Safety Glass – shatterproof glazing developed with TÜV Rheinland.
Additionally, the use of the patented Damen Twin Fin skeg ensures predictable sailing in any direction. Again, this leaves the operator free to concentrate on the task he is performing, confident that the vessel will simply follow his hand.
Safety in every detail
Safety is apparent in every detail; the on board VHF system is a case in point. Activated by a button on the thruster stick the operator can keep his hands where they are most needed whilst maintaining contact with the pilot. The emergency lighting is another example.
Martin: "The LED emergency lighting is excellent. It gives those on board a lot of confidence that they would be able to see in the event of a blackout."
Not feeling the vibe
André: "There is a big difference between traditional tugs and the RSD Tug 2513. Splitting the ventilation from the superstructure means there is almost no noise or vibration in the wheelhouse."
For port operations with three persons, it's very comfortable. The cabins are well prepared and there is no cabin connect, which is a big plus. The mess room is also very well completed.
Ready for duty
The Innovation will complete her tour this summer after which she will be available for charter with Damen Marine Services. Due to Damen's philosophy of building standardised vessels in series, the RSD Tug 2513 is also available from stock for fast delivery. André and Martin have confidence that the vessel will prove itself in operation.
André: "I think Damen has done good research on how to make a harbour tug both simple and capable. For this moment we only have experience with free sailing, but based on this, in combination with the manoeuvring properties and bollard pull, operators will have a fully operational tug for a wide range of towing jobs in ports and terminals."
"Basically, from the operator perspective, towing is about two things; force generation and a good connection with the vessel that is to be towed. With the RSD Tug 2513, the designers have succeeded very well in achieving both of these things," concludes Martin.
The RSD Tug 2513 features a winch that has been developed by Damen Winch Technology (DWT) and built by Damen Marine Components (DMC). DMC first developed its credentials in the field of winch technology with the Render Recovery Winch in 2012 and is now expanding its portfolio. In so doing it is applying a strategy that aims at optimising delivery time and lowering costs of winches. This is achieved by standardising all Damen winch designs to improve efficiency.
The latest winch innovation is a variable speed drive. This makes it possible to always haul and veer with the highest line speed available. The speed of the drive system automatically adjusts itself in proportion to the required line force in
hauling and veering.
Furthermore, the winches have a focus on low maintenance; each one has a full flame zinc coat and epoxy paint system and just two to four grease nipples. All rotating parts have a 5,000 hour lifespan. All DMC winches are type approved by class and tested above pull and brake holding force by DMC in attendance of a Class society surveyor.
|The project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 636146.

Looking For Help To Quit Alcohol
I can't Recommend These Guys Enough One Year No Beer
Why Choose OYNB
The reason I give these such a personal blog post is because of how much they played a huge part in my recovery. Upon finding this page in May 2016 my life has just blossomed. Their unique way of making it a challenge to start with 28 days to quit the booze. Followed up by aiming for 60,90 then 365 days or One Year No Beer, really appealed to me. Plus these guys seemed just like me when I read their stories. Why choose them for one you get a Facebook format that is free at OYNB Free Group. This is a closed group and no one shall know your a member. Secondly after you've had a look into that and feel you want to get a little more serious and go for say 60 or 90 days. You can pay a fee to get that extra support and move over to the other Facebook group OYNB Paid Members.
You may ask why would I want to pay to quit alcohol I know it crossed my mind. Well quitting alcohol is a massive step and life changing event in your life. In the paid area you will find extra resources, daily emails, access to webinars from influential people like the mentors Andy Ramage and Rauri Fairburns. Ongoing expert content from OYNB partners and Ambassadors. The ambassadors and experts take care of all aspects of life, from mindset to fitness, productivity, health & wellbeing. There is also access to podcasts these are not just from the creators Andy and Rauri but also famous podcasters and inspirational speakers.
Why It Worked For Me
I found that the only way I could commit to going alcohol free at start was to go it alone. In that I mean distance myself from my friends so that I could go cold turkey. That could of left me very vulnerable as I've written before with depression. In finding these guys and using the resources I build a group of online friends and support that I chatted with daily. Some of these people are lifelong friends now. I did the 60,90 days and made 365 days thanks to these guys. So please go check them out at the links below and I hope I see you in the group in near future look me up.

Kesha should be pissed.
On Sunday, January 28, the 2018 Grammy Awards took place in New York City. The results were largely unsurprising: The Recording Academy took the path of least resistance by handing out awards to an incredibly apolitical Bruno Mars in three major categories (Record, Song, and Album of the Year,) proving that no matter how exciting the year's nominees are, institutions gonna institution.
That goes tenfold for Kesha, the pop singer who performed her ballad "Praying," alongside "Havana" singer Camila Cabello, Cyndi Lauper and a handful of other incredible musicians. It felt like the Recording Academy relied on Kesha to address the industry-wide problem of sexual abuse in one big, symbolic gesture, unfairly placing responsibility on her and the other women alone. What's worse: Kesha's label Sony Music tweeted support for her performance, despite keeping her under contract and potentially financially bound to her alleged abuser, producer Dr. Luke.
It was one of the night's biggest tone-deaf moments. Sony Music Global has since deleted the Tweet, but as seen in the screenshot above, the account posted a gif from the very end of Kesha's performance with the caption, "No Words. All love. #GRAMMYs."
For the last few years, Kesha has been engaged in a legal battle with Dr. Luke, whom she alleges sexually, physically, and emotionally abused her during their working relationship. (Kesha was signed to Kemosabe Records, Luke's Sony Music imprint.) In 2015, Kesha directed her frustration at Sony Music proper, claiming representatives for the label were complicit in the abuses she experienced, and turned a blind eye to the producer and his inappropriate behaviors. It's a conversation we've been having a lot lately: How do institutions within music's framework keep the powerful and dangerous, powerful and dangerous? Did someone, somewhere at Sony think it was better to ignore and silence Kesha, as long as she continues to make the company hits and money?
Without finding and naming the people responsible, it's all conjecture. What isn't, however, is that as Kesha continues to rebuild and fight for justice, Sony Music is profiting off her. It's feasible that the label who failed to protect Kesha is now commodifying that abuse, that failure. Simply put: Fuck them.

It's now pre-holiday: exciting! stressful! fun! scary! Go with the flow and you'll get carried away right now into spending too much, eating too much, doing too much. The best defense is awareness and Mixonian is delivering your own rescue information to keep your head clear when making choices and decisions. You can decide right now how you want to experience this holiday season.
This is what my mentor Christine Kane says about decision:
Decision is a lot about loss. It's about being strong enough in your choice to allow a loss of other options. (The word "decision" comes from the Latin 'decisio,' which means "to cut off.")
In other words, when you decide, you no longer have "all your options open."
The thing is, while making better decisions definitely moves you forward and enriches your life, the path to your dream life is not the one you're most comfortable with. The whirl of parties, projects, deadlines and holiday stuff can create so much pressure that the most comfortable thing to do is go from crisis to crisis, without loss of enthusiasm.
Get out of your head the idea that IF i get this decision right, THEN everything will be easy. There is usually more than 1 correct answer in the real world and good decisions make you grow, which is not always a comfortable experience!
5 Warning Signs You're About to Make a Bad Decision:
(Note: bad decisions can teach you, so you're fine either way, it's a matter of moving forward or staying stuck (i.e. "dithering" for the moment.)
1. Making a decision when you're exhausted, sick or feeling low, is never a good idea.
Short of taking serious mood-enhancing narcotics, you're not going to feel like you live on cloud nine every single day. Even if you're in robust health, some days you're going to feel tired. (I hope today is not one of those days.)
In any case, having a bad day means a day not to make major decisions.
That's because on a low-energy day or when you've been hit on the side of your head with some unexpected catastrophe, your ability to reallty think is limited, you're not accessing your natural creativity, and you're probably making negative projections into your future (like, "crud, my life is over!")
The best decision on bad days to make is to get some rest and lay low.
2. If what you're thinking is "what I should do is X," this could be a warning signal of a bad decision about to happen.
There are times when your sense of "should" or duty, leads you to make a wonderful decision. Like when you need to change a baby's diaper: you really should and you do.
A lot of times your "should" masks what you know deep inside you want to do but you're too scared to admit it.
BTW, that's totally normal!
If you're thinking, "I should go to the gym," you may be right but you're unlikely to motivate yourself that way.
If you can take the time to really think about it, and realize that you WANT to go to the gym because you value your health, you're more likely to get there.
If you're saying "I should lose weight" because someone else wants you to, I don't think you're going to succeed in that.
If you hear yourself saying, "I should…" take another look at what you're deciding. You may be about to shoot yourself in the foot.
3. If you're deciding a certain way so you don't have to ask for help, it's probably not a good decision.
A lot of times I'm looking at what my 16-year-old daughter is doing or thinking, it's like looking in the mirror. I've seen her go through all sorts of gyrations to avoid asking for help from a classmate or even her teacher. I also see her waste time because she wants to resolve a complex situation through texting because she's "uncomfortable" with picking up the phone!!!
Life is a contact sport and to transform your biggest dreams into reality, you need help from other people. If you feel nervous about asking for help and that's pushing you to decide a certain way, think again!
(Or am I the only introvert here?)
4. Limiting your decisions to your pay grade.
This is about contorting yourself to fit other people's expectations of how you should behave.
Making decisions that make other people feel comfortable around you is a definite warning signal.
Here's an example from my own life, from many years ago:
When my youngest child was 6 or 8 weeks old, we were preparing her christening party. We had family visiting from other states, and from Venezuela. It was to be our biggest family fete ever.
As you know, the biggest thing on my mind was….what to wear. Especially since my normal clothes didn't fit yet, and this was definitely a special occasion.
When I mentioned the possibility of buying a new dress, my then mother-in-law suggested that I wear one of her dresses. (Let me point out that she was well into her 70's at the time and I was in my 30's.)
Her son thought it was a fabulous idea.
I hated the thought, but knew they would be pleased to see me wearing her not-my-style-at-all clothes. They would be happy, and I would NOT be making any waves.
It still makes me cringe to see those pictures…
Live and learn.
5. Decisions taken from "well at least I" are usually not the best.
….Well, at least I have a job.
….Well, at least I have a boyfriend.
….Well, at least I won't look stupid.
….Well, at least I'm safe.
This kind of thinking is CYA-ish….saving your butt but endangering your soul.
That's not your best frame of mind for deciding.
If you could have the guarantee of success, how would you decide?
There is a guarantee available to you. It's called "committment". If you commit to the project UNTIL it succeeds, it will. Perhaps it will look quite different from what you have in mind right now, but it will become reality.
Got a decision-making tip to share?

American Tourism Officials finally have something to cheer about. Americans are staying home and spending their hard-earned paychecks on domestic travel. Disney World, New York City, even Lester's Museum O' Rare Lobster Tails in Bangor, Maine is seeing a sharp increase in spending by families who are cancelling trips to the French Riviera and instead seeking some good old-fashioned entertainment right here at home.
"We never thought we'd say that Osama Bin Ladin is a hero, but we are starting to think he just might be," said Ed Olberschultz, MSNBC's travel analyst. "This is the shot in the arm that places like New Orleans really needs. I mean, think about it, they want France, where better to get it than in the French Quarter of New Orleans. Ayeee," he said in the best Cajun he could muster. Want authentic pizza from Italy? Visit New York City, where you can also now catch a ride on an authentic double-decker bus, just like in jolly old England.
Olberschultz says if you were planning on really doing Europe big and now find that you just can't bring yourself to putting yourself and your family in harm's way, take them to Epcot Center. Not only will you be able to take a trip to some of the most prominent countries in Western Europe, including Norway, France, Italy and the United Kingdom, you'll get the added bonus of visiting the middle and far east, as well as the countries directly north and south of your own border, all in one tidy little terrorist-free place.
Never has there ever been a better time to see America. This may just be the shot in the arm this country needs.

Since 1985, B.A. Chesley Co. has been synonymous with quality masonry restoration in Duluth, MN. Here is a closer look at what we can do for your home or commercial building:
Masonry restoration
Here in Duluth, the wind and ice off the lake can easily deteriorate bricks and stones, especially the ones on our beautiful 1920s and 1930s architecture. Fortunately, B.A. Chesley Co. can replace them, grind back the mortar to make it more stable, color the mortar to match exactly and refill the area.
We get complimented on our work all the time, because people often cannot see where we've repaired the bricks and mortar, and where the original pieces remain! That's one of the best compliments we can get, because it means our work looks seamless. We truly pride ourselves on being able to provide a great experience to each customer, and to do clean work where you can't even tell it was patched.
Our team specializes in replacing, rebuilding, and repairing chimneys, brick fireplaces, stone fireplaces, retaining walls and exterior walls. We have the capacity to work on virtually any masonry and take pride in tackling new and challenging restorations.
We are happy to provide stonework for sandstone and bluestone, and we specialize in houses and fireplaces. Our familiarity with common stonework blemishes and degradation allows us to pinpoint issues and resolve them to the fullest.
Tuckpointing is the process of grinding back the mortar in stone and bricks, cleaning it out and refilling it with new mortar. We can provide tuck pointing in Duluth, MN for both homes and businesses, to preserve the façade and extend the life of the masonry.
We do full chimney rebuilds, and replace chimney caps and chimney liners. We are also able to replace old clay chimney liners with stainless steel or flexible aluminum liners, which are safer and more enduring.
If you are in need of chimney repair in Duluth, MN, or any of the above services, please give B.A. Chesley Co. a call at 218-390-2336, or visit our Contact Us page for more information.

History Part 1 - Before WW2
Parkes M & D have a proud history of providing entertainment for the local community over one hundred and thirty seven years, the earliest recorded information on the Society was in 1875 when a photo was taken of ten actors and a dog, called Bill Sykes. It listed their names and some of their professions, but it is not known if they were in a production or just having a social get together. However we do know that in 1879 the Society had a Grand Concert, entertaining with songs, recitations and skits while in the following year, 24th May, 1880, the Society produced "The Brigands of Calabria", to assist in raising funds for the purchase of a fire engine for Parkes.
There is a quarter of a century gap in the Society's archival material until further information was available about shows in Parkes, although a search of the Parkes Library's microfilm records of the Parkes newspapers in that period would no doubt reveal more details. Until that is undertaken the next recorded performances were Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, Pirates of Penzance in 1906, HMS Pinafore in 1907 and The Mikado in 1908, all staged in West's Hall, now the current site of the Big W store on the corner of Brown St and Jansens Lane. Charlie and Harry Bigelow, Warren Dodd and Edna Kendall were the leading players and dominated the main roles in all three productions.
The Parkes M & D Society as such must have lapsed soon after these productions because in 1913 a public meeting was held to form a new Society with many of the previous participants taking part. Warren Dodd played the Captain opposite Mrs Leonard Seaborn (Mary Tom's mother) who was Buttercup in HMS Pinafore. The late Ted Curr, an old Trundle resident, indicated the Society staged productions in the old School of Arts building during the 1914-18 war, travelling there by train from Parkes, no doubt to raise funds for the war effort and probably travelled to other centres as well. One of these shows could have been Les Cloches de Corneville which was staged in West's Hall in October 1917, most of the actors previously mentioned were in the production with Gwen Newman, Beatrice Mason, Annie Shaw, Elsie Watts and E A Sykes also taking lead roles. A twelve piece orchestra was conducted by A Kendall. The actors of this period kept the Society performing for over twenty five years with the next show staged being a three act comedy High Jinks in October 1922, after which there were no more shows officially recorded.
It is assumed because local shows were no longer produced J C Williamson brought a Pantomine to Parkes Sinbad the Sailor in February 1930 using local actors to support the leads. Shortly after this the Mayor D Geddes called Public Meeting to reactivate the Society. Incidently, it is interesting to note that Donald Geddes is our current President Neil Wescott's grandfather, a man who did much to develope the growth of Parkes. During the thirties, right up to the outbreak of the second world war at which point the Society went into recession, there were several plays produced, one of which was Tons of Money, in 1933, the newspaper report read "The Parkes Musical and Dramatic Society had reason for developing a feeling of pride in the fact that the town possesses such an array of histrionic and musical talent", a reference to the long family history of acting by the local residents. Mr Frank Nash found a newspaper ad. for another show called Going Up directed by Mrs K Hunter in September 1936. It was not always easy for the young single girls to go on stage as some of the local employers did not feel it was becoming of the gentler sex, rumour has it that a bank manager told one of his female staff to choose between the stage or her job. however WW2 was to change all that.
