Sea Of Bees' new album, Build A Boat To The Sun is out now on 3 Loop Music!
Fresh off their UK tour, the band returns to NYC for a July Residency!
Julie Ann Baenziger – Jules – was born in the suburbs of Roseville, just outside of Sacramento, CA, quiet and shy, eccentric but happy. She grew up safe and warm, in a sheltered family, content to not know what she wanted to do with her life. Then in her late teens, she went to church with her sister, heard an older girl singing, and fell in love with her instead of God.
July Residency:
07.08.15 – Brooklyn, NY @ Living Room
07.09.15 – Manhattan, NY @ Hi-Fi
07.11.15 – Brooklyn, NY @: Rough Trade Records (In-Store)
07.13.15 – Brooklyn, NY @ Baby's All Right
07.15.15 – Brooklyn, NY @ Living Room
07.16.15 – Manhattan, NY @ Hi-Fi
07.18.15 – New Paltz, NY @ Team Love Gallery
07.22.15 – Brooklyn, NY @ Living Room
Suddenly she knew what she wanted, what she had to do – become a musician, and get her music into the world. But it was only years later, when Jules became Sea Of Bees, that she became herself. When you hear her, you realize she is the kind of singer-songwriter you come across only a few times in a lifetime – special, unusual, leaping out at you like an alien, her character fully-formed, her uniqueness intact.
Once Jules knew what she wanted, she worked hard to make it hers. She practiced and practiced – up at five every morning before swimming, then school, then back home for more. She didn't play anything, so she just sang and struck at instruments. Doubts and sadness crept in, so she buried herself into schoolwork, graduating early, not knowing where to go next with her songs. At 23, she finally moved out of the family home, into the city, into an old creaky house, where she joined a band, playing one string lines on the bass. She remembers living for drinking and partying, unsure of what to do next.
Then one day, playing idly without her band in a studio called The Hangar, John Baccigaluppi, its owner, heard her incredible voice. He bought her coffees where she worked, sat her in the studio with wine and bread after her shifts, told her how much talent she had, and showed her how records were made. He told her that there was nothing wrong about picking strings slowly, thinking about what else you wanted to hear in a record, slotting things together gradually. Jules was learning about music later in life too – in her childhood, her parents would only listen to songs from the '50s, with the odd sprinkle of Cher and Barbra Streisand. From her teens, she had started to enjoy Sigur Ros and Midlake, and the songwriting of Jeremy Enigk from Sunny Day Real Estate. But now she started thinking about how music was written from the heart and the mind, and what she wanted to get out of her own blood and bones, in the purest way. She would sing words that seemed to come out of nowhere, pair them up, and make sense of them. She did so quickly, going to John with an EP she made in ProTools in a day. When he heard it, he was staggered, and wanted to share her with her whole world.
A year after that first EP, Bee Eee Pee, Songs For The Ravens was released on Crossbill and Heavenly Records and introduced many more people to her greatness. The album is full of songs Jules wrote when she was emerging from her chrysalis, the work of someone who wanted to put her entire life on record, rather than keep things hidden any more.
A further year on, Sea Of Bees had played at SXSW, CMJ, and Glastonbury, and supported Gotye, Stornoway, Smoke Fairies, Calexico and John Grant and Orangefarben was released on Team Love and Heavenly. A warm, gentle and reflective album, its title is the nickname for her ex-girlfriend and is a classic break-up record but Jules draws strength from the sadness. "I'm not trying to be ambitious with my creativity. I'm just trying to be honest and direct with it" she says. The album is warmly received and the critics responded:
"If she doesn't become the sensation she deserves to be it'll be a crime…" The Independent
"…harbors a great deal of warmth and assurance in amongst it's heartbreak." Line Of Best Fit
After a brief hiatus, Jules wrote a new record, and Build A Boat To The Sun will be released on June 30th, 2015. It sees Jules leaving the darkness for brighter horizons, gathering the good things up, leaving the bad behind and moving forward. The music has also moved forward sonically from the previous releases with more tracks having a full band sound after Jules bought a drum set and spent as much time playing drums as guitar much to her neighbor's dismay. The immediate upbeat pop swagger of 'Test Yourself' and alt-rocker 'Karma Kard' set out the sail for this album as Jules and producer John Baccigaluppi again visit a variety of styles across the album. There are moments of the folk-pop that brought the initial critical acclaim in 'Don't Follow Me' and 'Moline', touches of lush orchestration in 'Monk' and 'Little Sea' and even a nod to the electronica of Grandaddy (Jason Lytle is a big fan) on 'Dan'. The album was mixed with Jesse Lauter as Jules and John were big fans of his work with the Low Anthem. About the album, Jules says "Keep going, don't stop and be yourself. Never settle for less. I never knew things could be so chaotic growing up when I was a child, but they are and it has taken me years to come to pass through the difficult times. I have finished the record I have been meaning to make. Things are changing for the good and I am happy."

Generalized Switching Properties Of Three-Guide Circular Fiber Arrays Using Coupled-Mode Analysis
Document Type
Publication Date
Published In
IEEE Journal Of Quantum Electronics
A numerical method that utilizes coupled-mode theory to examine the switching properties of arrays formed by three fibers arranged in a circular configuration is developed. An error function that depends on the difference between the desired output conditions and those obtained for a given set of coupling and detuning coefficients is defined. To determine the values of these coefficients for a particular switching operation, the error function is minimized by varying the coupling and detuning coefficients. Results are presented for configurations that switch a signal from one fiber to another, equally split the power from a single input guide into two fibers at the output, and divide the power from a single input guide equally among all three output guides.

Dejected. Deflated. Despondent.
Hooray for fear tactics! Now serving Americans since 9-11-2001, and counting.
I'm in shock, literally. I'm also very pissed off, and I'm asking those of you who were rooting for Bush to be gracious, otherwise you will NOT be welcome here. I'm in a deleting type of mood for tacky, anonymous comments tonight. Hell, if my President can be a bastard for another 4 years, so can I.
I cannot believe Bush won. Cannot. believe.
I'm terrified.
Not only is he in charge of the Executive branch, but there's majorities in the House and Senate now. With 3-4 justices retiring within the next term (possibly) — I'm picturing an even more police state than there is now.
But it's fear that won this election — it's the gift that keep on giving. Found not only in most evangelical faiths, but now in a democratic government near you!
UPDATE: Well. Ohio could still be up in the air. Who knows?
I was watching CBC earlier, and they made an interesting point. If, God-forbid, Bush should win this election in both the popular and electoral votes — he has no real reason to work to bring together the people who elected him and those who voted against him. Just think, if he can be the bastard he was for the last four years — when he wasn't ever officially ELECTED and without a mandate — just think of how he'll respond when he thinks he has the majority of Americans behind him.
…anyway, I'm *supposed* to be teaching a lesson on extemporaneous speaking tomorrow at 8:30AM. I suppose I should finish outlining what I want to say. Somehow I doubt I'll be sleeping anytime soon.

Read about the adventures of our new long-term volunteer and sign the petition to ban Diclofenac in Europe which has caused the death of thousands of vultures in Asia.
I'm Megan, the long term people engagement volunteer here on Skomer and will be for the next three months. I graduated from Aberystwyth University last year studying Countryside Management and this is my first placement. I arrived here on the 24th of June and it's hard to believe that three weeks of my time are already over.
I have already learned so much and I have gained new skills: I now know how to drive a tractor! (with supervision at the beginning but on my own now), how to catch and identify Lesser Black-backed Gull chicks and how to handle Manx Shearwaters. A few nights ago I released one that was found walking around during the day. I've also had the chance to help the Oxford researchers with their night time work tracking immature shearwaters. They are such lovable and interesting birds it makes me feel very privileged to help conserve them.
|My first encounter with a Shearwater
|Who is who on the Guillemot ledge?
|"Come on little one, don't be scared, take the plunge"
The sunny weather has let me and the lovely short term volunteers go swimming for four nights in a row. The puffins must think we're oddly shaped seals and come very close to us. It's pretty magical watching them flying over you in the water. We've also made friends and swam with Shauna the seal, (her name so Andy the visitor officer tells me), and one bull which we've named Siôn.
I've barely had to cook for myself since I've been here, Andy (the Wildlife Trust's Field Worker) has prepared lovely fresh bbq fish each week and I regularly get fed by the lovely researchers.
I also got to volunteer on the Marine Nature Reserve's patrol boat. I was able to get an insight into the monitoring work the MNR do and saw Gannets and Porpoises up close. It was great to see the Island from a whole new perspective, (plus the waves were pretty fun too!)
And in the evenings I go watching the sunset - it has become a ritual of mine. Once you've seen it you'll never want to miss it!

Firefighters, ATF starts Bibb Mill investigation
Red brick still smoulders at the Bibb Mill.
Underneath the rubble, the fire that destroyed the historic building burns, said Assistant Fire Chief Jerry Fountain. Monday morning, firefighters and the National Response Team from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives stood in the parking lot of the 750,000 square-foot building that was reduced to a husk early Thursday.
"A building that large is just a very slow process," Fountain said of the investigation his department and the ATF is undertaking. "It's a methodical type of thing."
Both departments are examining the fire's burn patterns as well as interviewing all the witnesses and first responders in order to build a reasonable scenario about the blaze's cause. An official cause hasn't yet been determined.
Fountain said they must learn the temperature at the time of the fire, how long it burned and whether any chemicals came into play. Oils used for lubrication when the mill was in operation may still be within the building's remains, and items may have been kept there for storage.
Before investigators can get into certain spots within the mill, they must ensure it's stable. Some portions of the mill likely will remain standing. Fountain said one part near the near will probably have to come down for safety reasons.
While several streets in Bibb City were blocked off last week, most have been reopened. Three areas still have cordons, though.
A five-inch hose runs across First Avenue just south of 38th Street, and road blocks sit on the street. Drivers can can around the barriers by using 35th Street, Fountain said.
Another hose is across a part of Park Avenue, and the final barriers are at the mill itself. Fountain said the blocks could be gone in a few days, though it's not certain.

Obesa Porkner Asks:
I haven't posted in a long while, and now I can't run away anymore and I have come back here for help and advice. This morning I found a disgusting, red, rash-type thing under a stomach fat roll. Yuck!! How embarassing and disgusting. I don't know if I'd call it a rash or a sore or really I guess it's a chafing rash from the fat roll that hangs over my stomach. Yuck! How did I allow this to happen?
So first off, has this happened to any of you? I'm going to the doctor tomorrow, and meanwhile I put on neosporin and covered it with gauze. What will the doctor say? Other than embarrass me and tell me to lose weight? Any words of wisdom? Support? I'm so disgusted.
Fat Bastardo Answers:
It's yeast. hands down. You can try washing up really well with Head and Shoulders shampoo, blow dry under your meat skirt and use a diaper rash cream that contains Zinc. That might take care of it.
As much as I hate doctors I would love it if you would bring your fat stinking self to you OBGYN and make him gag but somethings are just too gross to inflict upon their staff. Dogs like stinky things. The will roll in the carcass of a dead animal and they will eat their own shit. A lick from a dog can kill off some of the microbes causing your rash.
These yeasty things will keep happening. Fat girls are walking yeast infections. You need to find a shit eating dog or a feminist to lick your ass after you take a shit.
Lotta Phatner Chimes in:
It may also be a yeast infection. These things happen to us fat girls. I get it in my belly button and under the boobies - ouch! Wash a few times a day, antibacterial soap will help. Make sure you get really dry after washing. Put some cream on it - diaper rash cream, anti-fungal, yeast infection cream, tea tree oil. There's no way of knowing which one of those is most likely to help you without a trip to the doc. I was embarrassed too and didn't want to go to the doc, so I just tried different ones until one worked. For me it was tinactin anti-fungal cream that worked to clear it up, but the tea tree oil helped make it feel better.
Patty Eaton Asks:
My feeder likes to eat my yeasty crotch he says it reminds me of Burger King. What do you think he means by that?
Fat Bastardo Answers:
Patty that's simple. You remind him of a Whopper with cheese. Now let me ask you a question. Is his motto, "No muff too tough?"
Gloria Butts Asks:
Why would a guy who has a preference for slender and fit woman want to start dating a fat girl?
Fat Bastardo Answers:
I think every guy would like to take a ride on the Goodyear Blimp. Also, fat girls are easy and they give the best head because they are always hungry. Then there are guys who like slumming it once in a while.
Barbara Bulbous Asks:
Do men like plus sized women?
No! The closest thing a fat girl can get to a man liking her is a fat man hating hairy diesel dyke feminist with a yeast hungry tongue and a strap on. Real men find fat girls revolting. This is a natural reaction so that they won't blow their load in the cunt of a fat girl but they will from time to time allow a chubby girl to blow them. i.e. any port in a storm.

"List-Building" is still all the rage in online marketing, and having a place on your website where potential clients and customers can sign up for your email list is essential. Making sure your site visitors see this magical place to "opt-in" is critical. Some sites have it at the top of a sidebar, some have a pop-up or a sliding form like Slide In from the WPMU folks. Another option that displays the form on every page, but is not in your visitor's way is a "bar" somewhere near the header of the site, sometimes referred to as an "Opt-In Bar".
This tutorial covers adding an "Opt-in Bar" on a WordPress site using a Mailchimp as your email subscription solution. It describes how to add an Opt-in bar to collect first name and email address while subscribing someone to your Mailchimp list. You'll want to have a self-hosted WordPress site, a Mailchimp account, the Newsletter Sign-Up plugin and some CSS knowledge.
I borrowed some styling from MarieForleo.com for demonstration purposes.
When I was first asked about using a Mailchimp sign-up form in a theme, but not as a widget…I thought about just using the embed code that you can generate at Mailchimp for your list. But basic copy & paste would leave some javascript code right in the middle of my page, and even if I pasted the form into the right place in the template file and put the javascript in the footer template file…I still thought it could be easier while being more flexible on the form end of things. Enter the Newsletter Sign-Up plugin! With that and some custom CSS we were in business.
Install Newsletter Sign-Up
Install the Newsletter Sign-Up plugin and activate it.
Configure the Mailchimp API Settings
In your WordPress dashboard, you will now have a Newsl. Sign-Up menu option below Settings. Choose List Settings from underneath Newsl. Sign-Up or Settings from under Newsletter Sign-Up on the plugins page.
This settings panel is dynamically populated, so once you choose "Mailchimp" from the dropdown as your mailing list provider, then a checkbox called "Use Mailchimp API?" appears and you can select it. Then fields for your Mailchimp API Key and List ID appear along with some Mailchimp specific options. The plugin author has posted a definitive guide to configuring Newsletter Sign-Up that you can reference.
Since I am going for a streamlined first name + email sign-up form, I only select "Subscribe with name?" and within my Mailchimp list, "FNAME" is the name identifier for the FIRST NAME field.
Configure Form Settings
Since we want the name and email fields right next to each other, we leave the two label fields blank (later we will hide the default with CSS) but enter in default values that appear inside the input fields to indicate to your subscriber what to enter. Also just to mimic our chosen sample design, I used "Get it!" for a submit button value. This is where you'd also customize the text that appears in-place after sign-up or redirect to a custom thank you page, but I didn't play with any of that.
Add the Newsletter Sign-Up Function to Your Theme
<?php if(function_exists('nsu_signup_form')) nsu_signup_form();?>
I wrapped that call and some text in a
 with a custom class so we could color in the bar for our demo. I wrapped the word "Free" in a span tag with an italic inline style just to mimic our sample design. So all put together I used:

Get Free Tips to Create a Business & Life you Love
<?php if(function_exists('nsu_signup_form')) nsu_signup_form();?>

Style the Form Using CSS
I styled the form to make it look similar to Marie's green bar, with uppercase text inviting a visitor to sign up by typing in first name and email address and hitting that cute "Get it!" button using this CSS:
/* this would be the color and size of the main bar */
#nsu-head {
background-color: #3CB878;
padding: 34px;
/* basic text color and placement */
#nsu-head p {
color: whiteSmoke;
/* placement of the invitation text */
#nsu-head p.form_label {
padding-left: 50px;
padding-right: 30px;
margin-top: -5px;
#nsu-form-1 label {display:none;} /* hides the input field labels */
/* input button styling going for a circle with drop shadow */
input#nsu-submit-1 {
border-radius: 100%;
padding: 10px 15px 5px 15px;
margin-top: -8px;
font-size: 1.3rem;
font-weight: bold;
-moz-box-shadow: 1px 2px 4px #555;
-webkit-box-shadow: 1px 2px 4px #555;
box-shadow: 1px 2px 4px #555;
/* controls the background color during inactive and hover states */
input#nsu-submit-1.nsu-submit {
background: no-repeat darkMagenta;
border: 1px solid darkMagenta;
input#nsu-submit-1.nsu-submit:hover {
background: no-repeat black;
border: 1px solid black;
/* placement of post sign up text if no thank-you page */
p#nsu-signed-up-1 {
float: right;
font-size: .9rem;
color: #DDD;
padding-right: 0;
margin-top: -18px;
width: 45%;
I used several of Newsletter Sign-Up's IDs in order to style a specific form on the page if there were multiples, but I didn't actually see a way to have more than one NSU form on the site, so that may be a limitation. Also note I didn't test this on multiple browsers, so consider this CSS to be basic and not finished for a production site.
Take a look at the demo site and let me know how I can improve this tutorial below.

Thank you! This totally helped me out of a jam. I did a little restyling for the site I was working on, but this definitely saved me some time :)
How can I create an opt in like that for a website not hosted on WordPress. Something like Weebly for instance or a Blogger blog.
Awesome that I have stumbled across your site, typed Like Marie forleo optin form and voila!
It works wonderfully only my genesis theme layout puts the form right at the top as the banner is very small- just wondering if I put it in the function.php file will it work and works with aweber?
thank you
Hey Caitlin,
Awesome tutorial, would you happen to know what file I would look for if I want the bar to go under the slider? I have been searching for this tip for months.
Thank you!
Hi Caitlin!
I am new to web building, but so thankful for your tutorial! I happen to be using both WP and Mailchimp. I followed your instructions to the letter and they worked -mostly. I wasn't able to get the circle sign in button. My main concern is that after a subscriber completes the opt in, the Thank you message and opt in message both appear in the bar. I want the original opt invite to "no repeat", but I'm not sure how to do this. Please, help. Thank you.
Hi Caitlin!
I would love to have the "Thank you" message across from the invite title once the form is submitted by subscriber. How did you make that work? There is a thank you message posted on my WP newsletter plugin…

Some women who have breast cancer have no signs or symptoms. Early detection can help you prevent the breast cancer from spreading to other parts of your body.
In NYC:
You are more likely to get breast cancer if you:
People with risk factors will not necessarily get breast cancer, and people without risk factors can still get it. We don't always know why some people get breast cancer and some people do not.
Know your risk factors and, when possible, try to address them. This could help you prevent cancer.
Routine screenings can help doctors find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat.
The most common way to screen for breast cancer is a mammogram. A mammogram is an x-ray picture of your breast. Mammograms can spot breast cancer before you can feel lumps in your breast.
If you are 40 or older, ask your doctor about the benefits and risks of breast cancer screening and when to start screening. Some women need to be screened earlier than others, depending on their risk factors. If you have a family history of breast cancer, talk to your doctor about getting screened before age 40. The NYC Department of Health does not recommend screening by self-breast exams.
If you don't have a doctor or need to find a free or low-cost mammogram site, call 311 to find a screening site near you.
If you live in the city, are 40 or older and have not had a mammogram in the past year, you can also get a free mammogram at the American-Italian Cancer Foundation's Mobile Care Clinic. They provide services to all New Yorkers.

Scottish actor and writer, Matthew McVarish currently appears on the BBC children's television show 'Me Too!' but also works internationally in humanitarian activism. Since becoming published as a playwright and songwriter, Matthew has had various productions of his work performed in the UK and Off Broadway New York, while his music has been used in TV and theatre across Scotland.
Walking 10,000 miles, to every EU capital, Matthew became the first male survivor of childhood sexual abuse to speak out publicly in many countries, broadcast on TV, Radio and newspapers in thirty languages, during his award-winning project the "Road to Change". Encouraging various governments and parliaments to begin the discussion of abolishing their Statute of Limitations on victims reporting sexual crimes, Matthew was invited to speak at the United Nations and a personal audience with Pope Francis. Upon completing his walk, he returned to Strasbourg where he addressed the Council of Europe to encourage this crucial reform across all 47 European nations.
In recognition of his efforts, Matthew was granted an Honorary Doctorate and awarded the prestigious title, 'Top Scot', (previous Top Scots include Andy Murray and JK Rowling) He recently completed an academic paper, published by the Scottish Government, entitled 'The quality of silence'. Matthew is now an adviser to ECPAT International in Bangkok and chairs the Global Survivor Forum, which further contributes to the United Nation's discussions on children's rights.

When the 10 FBS commissioners and Notre Dame athletic director Jack Swarbrick established the protocol for the Carlos Santana Authentic Jersey College Football Playoff selection committee, they allowed for the group to have a great deal of flexibility. They also instructed them to consider four criteria when evaluating comparable teams: conference championships, strength of schedule, head-to-head results, and outcomes against common opponents.
It's important to remember as the committee meets to select this season's playoff participants. Should the fourth spot boil down to two or more comparable teams on Selection Day, this criteria would essentially be used as tiebreakers by the committee. But it's not as simple as suggesting that a conference championship for a team like Ohio State would give it the edge over one-loss Alabama, as each of the 13 members will have their own way of Michael Brockers Womens Jersey evaluating teams and weighing that criteria.
"To what degree, how that will be weighted is subjective with each individual in that selection committee room," chairman Kirby Hocutt said.
The value of winning a conference title was called into question last season when Ohio State earned the No. 3 spot without even winning its division and in spite of a head-to-head loss to Big Ten champion Penn State. Here's the catch, though: The committee didn't think Ohio State and Penn State were comparable last year. It believed the Buckeyes to be the better team, which essentially nullified any obligation to resort to those tiebreakers, which diminished the value of Penn State's head-to-head result and Big Ten title.
This season, Alabama is hoping to do the same by making the top four without winning the SEC West. Let's say Ohio State beats No. 4 Wisconsin to win the Big Ten title, and the fourth spot comes down to the Buckeyes and Crimson Tide. The biggest question http://www.officialflyersteamonline.com/Travis_Konecny_Jersey the committee would have to answer is if it thinks a one-loss Alabama and a two-loss Ohio State are even "comparable," yet another subjective determination in the already ambiguous process. If not, it might not matter if the Buckeyes win the Big Ten, just as it didn't matter for Penn State last year.
One thing is certain: The No. 5 Crimson Tide need somebody in the top four to lose, but even then nothing is guaranteed.
If Ohio State wins: The two-loss Buckeyes knock the Badgers out and open the door for a great debate against 11-1 Alabama. Hocutt said a Big Ten title for the Buckeyes would be "an important designation to have on their résumé when comparing them to any comparable team."
The question then becomes: Are Alabama and Ohio State comparable? It would seem they are not at the moment, as evidenced by Alabama's No. 5 ranking, though Hocutt did say there is "very little separation" in teams five through eight right now.
"If that should change, if Ohio State wins a conference championship, I don't know how the selection committee would make that decision until it happens, and I'll be prepared to answer it next Sunday for sure."
In that case, Ohio State would have two top-10 wins, against No. 9 Penn State and No. 4 Wisconsin, and No. 16 Michigan State. Would that be enough to overcome two losses, including a dreadful 55-24 loss at Iowa?
If Wisconsin wins: The Badgers are in. They would finish the season as the only undefeated Power 5 team. While their strength of schedule is currently No. 65 according to ESPN's FPI -- the lowest of any ranked Power 5 team -- they are No. 4 in ESPN's Strength of Record metric, which measures how difficult it would be for an average top-25 team to achieve the same record http://www.officialbuckstore.com/Tony_Snell_Jersey as the Badgers.
Rooting interest: Alabama should be cheering for the Buckeyes. At the very least, it needs Wisconsin to lose.

Store your records with the Cubit® shelf and sideboard
The modules of our shelf and sideboard systems are always designed according to the maxim "form follows function". As such, the dimensions of the 34 Cubit® modules have been chosen specifically to accommodate current formats of books, magazines, binders etc. as well as DVDs, CDs and LPs. For vinyl records, we have come up with three modules: LP20, OT36-24 and OT36-16. The LP20 shelf module lets you store around 40 records. "20" indicates the width in centimeters. The "OT36-24" module can hold up to 68 records. "OT" stands for "Open Top" and "36-24" indicates the width and height in centimeters. So "OT36-16" is a smaller version of the "OT36-24" module.
Examples of Cubit® furniture specially designed for storing vinyl records can be found below. This little sideboard for records consists of a hi-fi module and the OT36-24 module. Here, the top surface of the hi-fi module is used as a stand for a record turntable.
Thanks to its door, the hi-fi module lets you conceal the amplifier.
White, black, canary yellow, orange, red, green, blue, purple, turquoise, gray, pink… As is the case with other formats, the modules for records are available in 23 colors and 4 wood veneers (walnut, volcanic oak, amber oak, graphite oak).
In the following configuration, the "Open Top" module has been replaced by two LP20s.
This photo of the same piece of furniture for vinyl records shows a rear view of the hi-fi module. A wide opening at the back makes it easy to pass cables through.
Thanks to the wall attachment system, you can also create a wall shelf with a refined design for your LPs. This line-up consists of four LP20s.
Another idea: a shelf designed for records, a turntable, magazines and ornaments at the same time.
DJs will appreciate this Cubit® furniture, which can accommodate two turntables, a mixing deck and numerous LPs arranged in three LP20 modules and an OT36-24 module.
To design your customized furniture for vinyl records, please go to our configurator.

The history of Llamasoft with Jeff Minter
(description TBA)
Julian Gollop lecture at GDS Bulgaria 2011
At the 2011 Game Dev Summit in Sofia, Bulgaria, Julian Gollop gave a lecture on how to get your career started in game development. This is not directly related to old school game development, but I felt like including it anyway since it's interesting to watch. In this video, Gollop talks about how he got started making games on the ZX81 and BBC Model B, and then proceeds to give advice for programmers, game designers and level designers.
The making of UFO: Enemy Unknown
Edge Online has a making of article on UFO: Enemy Unknown which, again, is a little short but still fun to read. Julian Gollop explains how he and his brother Nick pitched the game to MicroProse, and also talks about some of the problems that arose during its production.

text: Reconciliation Jesus gave his Church the authority to forgive sins (see John 20: 21-23; Matthew 16:19). When we sin after we have been baptized, we have the opportunity to have our broken friendship with God and the Church healed through celebrating the sacrament of Penance or Reconciliation. Reconciliation is the sacrament through which we receive forgiveness of sins by sincerely confessing our sins to a priest to whom the power to forgive sins has been given by the authority of Jesus and of the Church. There are four essential elements to the proper celebration of the sacrament of Reconciliation. They are contrition, confession, satisfaction and absolution. The Sacrament of Reconciliation, like all other Sacraments, has its own special effects or graces. Some of the graces of this Sacrament are: It restores us to the relationship of love with God that we entered into at baptism; It restores us and heals any wounds we inflicted on the Body of Christ; It remits or takes away eternal punishment that is the consequence of mortal sin; It strengthens the soul which has been weakened by repeated sin; It gives us a peace of mind knowing that God is a loving Parent; It enables us to continue to live as children of God. According to the directives of the diocese of Green Bay, we at Nativity parish prepare our children in Grade 2 for the sacrament of Reconciliation. It is our vision that with the help of the faith community, the parents or guardians can assist the children to be formed in their experience of God's love through this wonderful sacrament. An invitation to the First Reconciliation preparation process will be mailed to families with children in Grade 2 who are enrolled in the Faith Formation program with the details regarding the preparation and celebration of the sacrament. For more details, contact Mary Carter (920-499-6012) or firstname.lastname@example.com. For a calendar listing the First Reconciliation process dates click here.

The Jewish Boryslav
The Boryslav Jewish history started from oil and ozokerite (mountain wax).
The first people who started mining ozokerite and distilling oil.
Lebaks (end of XIX cent.)
The "Lebaks" was a profession in Boryslav. The word came from the name of Jewish man with name Leib. He organized the first crew of people who caught the waste oil down to the Tysmenytsia River. They used horse's tails especially designed for it. They shoot the tail into the river with floating oil. Oil stick onto the tail. Then lebak twisted the tail with oil into the container. Ofcourse this type of oil was not good for anything but to be burned. Lebaks did not need a good quality of oilso. Then they bought (or steel) the wooden sawdust, mixed with waste oil and made balls. These balls they sale as a fuel.
2. Boryslav - Karpathian Oklahoma (XIX - XX cent.)
3. Petroleum Company "Pioneer" and "City Oil"
Boryslav, Pans'ka Street (Beginning of XX century).
View on the town from Horodishe Hill
The new gymnasium has been built in 1911. Today it is a school No.3. Gymnasium was located near electrical power station (commonly called "Elektrovnya").
Thank a industrial development in Boryslav, the new educated and intellegent Jewish clas appeared in Boryslav. Boryslav khasids go to synagogue.

Iolanthe looked at her brother and narrowed her aquamarine eyes as she thought about the events of the previous morning. She had stepped into Augie's apartment on an errand to discuss the supplies to be purchased upon arrival at Enclep, and found him lying naked on his bed. The room had reeked of alcohol. Iolanthe had grabbed the closest thing she could find, which were a pair of Augie's trousers and beat him about the head and shoulders with them until he fought back.
"Kafira's cross, Iolanthe!" He had shouted. "What? What do you want?"
"Go get cleaned up and dressed, Augie. I need to talk to you."
Augie had jumped up and grabbed a pile of clothes, and as Iolanthe still whipped him with his own pair of pants, he had dashed out the hatch and down the hall to the water closet, which on the ship was called 'the head'. While she had waited for his return, Iolanthe had looked around the tiny room in disgust at the mess. There had been clothes strewn everywhere and open and empty bottles of whiskey on every horizontal surface. Then she had noticed something in the corner. It was a pair of women's bloomers, and peeking out from under them was something strange.
Iolanthe had bent down and picked up the bloomers, holding them at arm's length, then retrieved the item of clothing beneath them, and examined it carefully. It was a man's shirt, and on its front were two handprints, in what appeared to be blood. It was as if a man, his hands drenched, had wiped them on his front. Cognizant of the fact that a murder had been committed the night before, and mindful that Augie had been present at the site of a previous murder in the great city, she had quickly decided that this was a piece of evidence that could not be allowed to be found here. She had rolled up the shirt inside of the bloomers and then exited Augie's cabin and walked through the hallway to the hatch on deck. Once there, she had quickly determined that she was alone on deck, and then had tossed both items of clothing over the side, watching them until they landed lightly upon the water and then trailed away into the distance. She didn't believe that Augie could be guilty of murder, so any time spent investigating him would have been a waste, but murderer or not, it was in bad taste to bring it up at dinner.

Big Tales Of The Past
Family reunions allow us to honor loved ones that have passed on, it gives the younger generations a chance to learn something about their families, a day to make acquaintances of your children, as well as some of we older ones. To me, reunions are a time to gather to eat, to meet, not to preach or politic, but to have a friendly gathering to spill big tales of the past, also to look forward to the future. I know that many of you have kin folks you didn't know about. I have a picture of Oliver Hazard Perry in the window of the Davis Brother's Store. Bill Perry of the H & P Market in Hazard walked in and asked me how I got hold of a picture like that. He stated that Oliver was his great, great, great grandfather. It is things like this that makes us say we should have a record of our ancestors. 1960

So Oliver Hazard Perry is Bill Perry of the H & P Market in Hazard's great, great, great grandfather? Someone is going to have to prove this one to me. By the way, if you don't remember the H & P, it was located in the building that was later home to Bell's Market was on Lovern Street.ReplyDelete

It feels later than usual this month for some reason – it's probably just because it didn't arrive at the same time as the Birchbox for a change though! Anyway, the March 2016 Glossybox is here, so what's inside:
On immediate opening the box feels a little lack lustre and disappointing I have to say, the full sizes are the highlighter stick from super budget brand Collection and an angled face brush from a brand I've never heard of before. This box contains a few new-to-me brands actually – I hope I like them!
Luxie Beauty, Rose Gold Large Angled Face Brush 504, RRP £10.42
I have quite a large collection of make-up brushes so I was interested to see if this one from new-to-me brand Luxie was any good. The brush is OK, it's totally bad but it's not £10 worth of brush let's put it that way. I'm not sure whose idea of 'large' it is! You can see it pictured here next to the logo on the box lid… it's not so big huh? It might be useful for applying powder contour products but you wouldn't be able to apply blush with it as it's not big enough to apply evenly. My main issue with it is the fibres. There are hairs around the edges that don't fit in with the cut, sticking out at random angles – I actually pulled one out it annoyed me so much when I was trying to photograph it nicely! Of course after that I realised I should have left it and shown you how it was beforehand. The tip of the brush is soft but if you touch the fibres anywhere else they feel plasticky – you can an idea of quite how plastic based on the reflectiveness in the box photo at the top of the post. I actually suspect based on a couple of clues that these come out of a particular Chinese factory known to produce for other companies.
Olay Regenerist, Luminous Skin Tone Perfecting Cream, 7ml sample size
This is not a new product to me, in fact I have most of a jar languishing that I really ought to use up but I keep getting distracted by new things! It wasn't overly oily, rich or heavy as I was expecting based on Olay's reputation but instead quite light, easily absorbed and left my skin feeling incredibly moisturised and looking more luminous but without feeling or looking greasy.
The product itself has a lovely delicate smell and goes quite far, you don't need to use very much at all. Still think the sample size was stingy though especially as nowhere sells this at the original £29.99 price tag it was when it first came out two years ago, it usually goes for about £19.99 these days.
Hey Honey, Good Morning Honey Silk Facial Serum, 15ml sample size
A new brand for me they base all of their products around honey and propolis – not one for the vegans, sorry! This serum, which allegedly doubles up as a primer although I haven't tested that out yet feels very smooth and very little smell to it, what fragrance there is is pleasant and natural feeling. It does contain a silicone (I could feel this straight away when I applied it) and glycerine both of which are popular ingredients in primers so I will definitely be trying it out as a lighter more moisturising primer option assuming it passes my patch test.
-417, Catharsis Vitamin Mineral Shampoo & Conditioner, 40ml sample size of each
-417 are another new brand for me – doing well on the discovery front this box! I was pleasantly surprised to find that they had included both the shampoo and matching conditioner in the box – it feels like an extra item! This brand bases its self around Dead Sea salt and minerals and all of their products contain these in some concentration.
The products smell good – but then weirdly the shampoo does contain a higher amount of fragrance than it does of either Dead Sea salt or water so it should smell nice really shouldn't it! Both products do contain silicones for those who look out for these. This matching pair of samples are a very handy size for sticking into an overnight or weekend bag.
Collection, Speedy Highlighter, RRP £3.99
I think pretty much everyone has heard of Collection who re-branded from Collection 2000 a couple of years back. They are a cheap and cheerful, you win some you lose some kind of brand – but you rarely mind if something is a bit rubbish because it only cost a couple of quid! A great brand for trying out something totally new with to see if you like it before investing in more expensive products or for teens just coming to make-up.
I have a few of these highlighter sticks from different brands including No.7 and Autograph and this seems pretty comparable to be honest, the formula is perhaps a little drier so it might not last as long and may take a bit more work to blend. It's not as strongly highlighty (that's not a word but it should be!) as the Rosie For Autograph one but is more of a "suits all" tone. The swatch is shown without flash, I took one with flash as well but you couldn't actually see the product on that one it almost totally sheered out which I thought was odd. I may do a comparison post between the different cream highlighter sticks I have at some point.
Did anyone get anything different in their boxes? What did you think of this month's box? Was your brush crap too or did I just get a dodgy one?

SOCHI, Russia — Nothing to fear.

With militant groups threatening to attack during the next few weeks, security and the safety of competitors and visitors to the coastal area and in the nearby mountains that will host the events has become both heightened and inescapable.

SANTA FE — Democratic lawmakers pushed ahead Friday with a proposal to overhaul New Mexico's oversight of education by reversing a decision by voters a decade ago that gave the governor more influence over public school policy.
The Senate Rules Committee approved a proposed constitutional amendment on a party-line vote that would remove the Public Education Department from the direct control of the governor.
SANTA FE — New Mexico education officials say the state's graduation rate was unchanged at 70 percent last year.
The New Mexico Public Education Department says the 2013 rate maintains the seven percentage point increase achieved by the Class of 2012.
The department also notes that since 2011, graduation rates have significantly improved for the state's Hispanic, Native American, African American, Economically Disadvantaged, and disabled students. Some groups had gains as large as 13 percentage points.

Jangchup Phelgyal and the Reader
Olive Street, Jonestown, San Diego black activists, Sherley Williams, the blind, the fat, the author's family
Jangchup Phelgyal 8:30 a.m., May 26
Chief executive of the San Diego and Imperial County Labor Union and now state assembly candidate, Lorena Gonzalez, is proving to be quite skilled at fundraising.
Gonzalez, who is running for the assembly seat vacated by Ben Hueso, has raised more than $160,000 in five months time. The vast majority, more than $130,000 of which has already been set aside for her assembly run in 2016.
As for this coming special election, Gonzalez's list of donors is filled with powerful political insiders and elected officials.
According to recent campaign disclosures Gonzales has received big-money donations from the likes of Ben Hueso, who wrote a check for $4,100 on April 5 from one if his numerous campaign committees, Re-elect Ben Hueso for Assembly 2012, as well as nearly $20,000 from San Diego County's Native American tribes.
Not surprisingly, Gonzalez collected tens of thousands of dollars from local labor unions, including a $4,100 donation from her labor union's political action committee, "San Diego Works!"
And then there are the individuals who also decided to give to Gonzalez's committee which include super-lobbyists Paul Robinson- $250 on April 11, former policy advisor to Jerry Sanders and now political strategist, Phil Rath- $500, and board member for the San Diego Unified School District Richard Barrera also gave $500 for Gonzalez's run.
Gonzalez's opponent Chula Vista councilmember Steve Castaneda has a bunch of catching up to do in order to match his opponent's fundraising efforts. According to campaign disclosures, Castaneda has raised just over $26,000 between his two campaign committees.

My grateful thanks go to the various sponsors of the Manx Literary Festival, especially the Isle of Man Steam Packet Company and the Isle of Man Bank, and to the very generous sponsors of my individual events, Lingua Franca, a translation company run by the charming Franca Fritz. Without such generosity, literary festivals could not be run, and authors like myself could not attend them.
Here are some of the highlights of my trip. I'm afraid I didn't snap any pics during actual events, but perhaps I will be sent some photos taken by other people, and be able to blog them later. If using any of these elsewhere, please attribute them to this blog.
All these photos were taken by yours truly with a humble iPhone. None have been edited, they are straight from the can.
|Between Heysham and the Isle of Man. Aboard the Ben-My-Chree, or Woman-of-my Heart in Manx Gaelic.
|An inspired mirror tile ceiling on the boat over. It took my mind off the incessant pitching ...

|The view from my hotel bedroom. I stayed at the Station Hotel, Port St Mary. I could see my old cottage up at Glen Chass from the back landing window. A nostalgic visit ...
|I went back on the faster craft to Liverpool, the Manannan. The sea was very choppy. Meh.
|See the man on the ceiling playing cards ... ?
|Quocunque Jeceris Stabit: 'Whichever way you throw, it will stand.' The motto and 3-legged symbol of the Isle of Man, spotted on a glass panel in the ferry cafeteria; that's the food counter behind it.

Christmas: A Time for Memories
Ours are maybe a little more skewed than others. (Does anybody remember that line from As Good As It Gets? Jack Nicholson says, "Some of us have good stories, with picnics and boats and noodle salad. Just nobody in this car." That line makes me laugh out loud just thinking about it.)
Paul reminded me this morning to turn off the ringer on the phone in the bedroom, in case Kooky Cousin calls again for the holidays. (If you didn't catch the story the first time, check it out here. It takes a few minutes to read, but it's worth it.)
Last week, we reminisced about the bullpen (a shellacked pile of cow poo with a pen holder in it) from the paternal family white elephant exchange - it went to another family who will undoubtedly enjoy it just as much, but we have fond memories.
Paul's maternal grandmother would have been 103 today. She died in 2001, and he still misses her. He's not the only one, I know. She was a lovely woman. She was always kind (and always feeding people, I hear), but if she thought you were a little too whiny about whatever pseudo-tragedy you'd just experienced, she'd say, "Well, I hope that's the worst thing that ever happens to you."
Two years ago, Paul and I fled the jurisdiction and spent Christmas in West Virginia, and had a Japanese Christmas Eve dinner with a serviceman and his fiance (the four of us were alone in a hibachi joint). They were getting married two days later, and he was shipping out in a week. I can't remember his name, but I hope he is safe.
A couple of years before that, I offered to have the family Christmas at my house and cook the turkey. First time for both. Things were going really well until the oven caught on fire.
If you're a little stressed about all the family celebrations and driving and schedules and all the pressure to be SO INSANELY CHEERY ALL THE TIME, remember that anything that isn't an outright tragedy will probably be hilarious later.
Merry Christmas!

Should a Baby's Reach Exceed His Grasp?
Levi's newest little adventure has been textures. If he's sitting up in Paul's arms, he'll reach out and feel his sleeve carefully. Or the surface of the Boppy pillow (it's denim-covered). Or whatever he can reach, really.
My personal favorite is his discovery of Paul's beard. He reaches up and pats and rubs Paul's chin with one hand, and his expressions are so funny - I'd love to know what he's thinking.
He doesn't have a great grabbing motion yet, but he has managed to knock the wipe container off the changing table a few times, so I think we'll need to be on our guard pretty soon.
I'm having so much fun with his discoveries and his new little skills ... but I'm sad when things fall by the wayside. (He doesn't get tightly swaddled up to sleep anymore, for instance. And it was so cute.) All of life is a mixed bag, I guess.
In knitting news, I am about 60% done with a moebius scarf, and I'm looking forward to getting it off the needles to see exactly how it looks. It's so scrunched up on circulars that it's hard to tell what the finished product will look like. Hope to post "done" pictures soon.

My Scandinavian and French-German parents were free and easy hippies. When I was a child they decided to live closer to the ocean, so we picked up and moved across the country to Vancouver, Canada. Living a gypsy lifestyle I spent ten years traveling the world as a dancer. This carefree lifestyle sparked my appreciation for different cultures.
For me making jewelry evoked a fortuitous love. This love was shaped from my travels and dance. As a result of my inspirations of nature, my pieces imply a rustic simplicity, freshness or understated elegance. I have always appreciated the quirks and anomalies that arise from the process of construction, thus adding uniqueness and elegance to my jewelry. Creating movement to the pieces is an important aesthetic in my creative design process. How jewelry drapes or shapes to the body starts to tell a story, just as a dancer uses movement and space to tell a story.
Jewelry is a personal statement, and choice that can evoke a mood or feeling, bestowing special meaning to the person wearing it. I wanted to create and develop jewelry and a brand that is luxurious and organic. Balancing earth and sea, using sustainably sourced fine quality Tahitian pearls, raw uncut rough diamonds, recycled sea glass that has been crafted by artisans in Ghana, African rings dipped in 22k gold, and semi-precious stones all strung on personally hand worked Australian leather.
Exquisite at birth, pearls need no molding or shaping, just the enhancement of its beauty with other jewels that are worthy. By virtue of pearls being slightly porous, they warm up against the skin as they are worn, thus allowing the wearer and the gems to become one.
There are many myths and symbolisms surrounding Tahitian pearls. These pearls symbolize wisdom, attracting wealth and luck as well as offer protection. Known for their calming effects, pearls balance one's own karma, strengthen relationships and keep children safe. The pearl is also said to symbolize the purity, generosity, integrity, and loyalty of the wearer.

Ameritech plans to invest more than $1 million to build a two-way network that will deliver about 90 channels of video programming to the 15,000 residents of Greendale. Ameritech--which has already signed seven other communities in Illinois, Michigan and Ohio for similar franchises--has an alliance with SBC, BellSouth and GTE to distribute branded programming created in part by their mutual partner, Walt Disney Co. The programming package is called Americast.

Hemoglobin is the protein on red blood cells that carries iron. Some chemotherapy drugs may affect your bone marrow, the site where red blood cells are made. This may result in anemia, which can cause you to feel weak, faint or short of breath, according to Chemocare.com. This chemotherapy side effect on your bone marrow is not permanent and may be helped through proper nutrition. Eating a diet rich in protein, vitamins and minerals can help your body rebuild its red blood cell count and increase the amount of iron on your existing red blood cells.
Iron is a mineral found in each of your body's cells and is used to make new red blood cells. Including iron-rich foods in your diet will also improve your hemoglobin count. Choose ready-to-eat breakfast cereals, breads, pastas and other grains that are fortified with iron. Foods that are naturally rich in iron include lean red meat, eggs, dried beans, tuna, oysters and dried fruits. Using cast iron cookware can also help to increase iron in your diet.
Vitamins B6, B12, E and Folic Acid
Your body uses vitamins B6, B12, E and folic acid to make new red blood cells. Vitamin B12 and folate work in tandem to manufacture new blood cells. The only naturally occurring sources of vitamin B12 are animal proteins, such as red meat. However, some soy protein products, such as tofu, are fortified with vitamin B12. Leafy green vegetables, nuts and legumes are good sources of folate and B vitamins. Spinach, broccoli and other dark green vegetables are high in these vitamins as well. Vitamin E, a fat-soluble antioxidant, is abundant in vegetable oils, nuts and seeds.
Vitamin C
Vitamin C in a meal helps the body optimize its absorption of iron. All fruits and vegetables contain vitamin C, but some have more than others. Cruciferous vegetables, such as broccoli and Brussels sprouts, are rich in vitamin C. Leafy green vegetables and citrus fruits, such as oranges, lemons and limes, are also naturally rich in vitamin C. Drink fruit juices with vitamin C during meals to maximize your iron uptake.
Drinking caffeinated beverages may affect your hemoglobin levels due to its effect on iron. Caffeine limits the amount of iron your body can absorb with a meal. If you wish to keep caffeinated beverages in your diet, avoid drinking them with meals to give your body time to absorb as much iron as possible.
