Canadian by birth with strong German cultural influences (and passport); education interrupted and enhanced by arrival of 4 children between 1975 and 1982, and various stints at life abroad. Ensconced at the University of Ottawa in the field I like best since 1995.
Ongoing research
The objective of this research project is to trace and describe the movement of Canadian writing (fiction and non-fiction) into Latin America via translation. It examines the scope of this cultural transfer, the trajectories along which it moves, the agents and networks that promote it, and the images of Canada circulated as a result. (Co-researchers are Marc Charron (Ottawa) and Hugh Hazelton (Concordia.) SSHRC-funded)

Lucky for him, he didn't know what he was getting himself into, this trip pushes the limits on a day hike/fishing trip from Salt Lake City to the Uinta Mountains with out staying the night. If he had known the terrain like I did, he might have said no. But I am glad he came, it is best to share the outdoors with friends and family than by oneself. This was one of the more memorable ones for me, and a trip I won't soon forget.
There aren't many things I get up at 4am for, I am not a morning person, never have been. But for a fishing trip, 4am isn't too bad. Mike and I met up in Park City and heading towards our destination.
3 hours later we reached the trail head and started our hike. It's pretty much up hill the entire way to the lake. But that's not the worst of it. About half way, we need to leave the trail and go cross country. There is no trail to this lake. If you have ever been the Uinta Mountains, going off the trail is daunting, there is so much dead fall from fallen trees. It's impossible to walk in a straight line, and the log hopping fatigues the body quickly. Combined with the uphill, the going is very slow.
After 3.5 exhausting hours we reached our destination. It was noon and we had roughly 4 hours to catch as many fish as we could before we had to head out to beat the sunset back to our vehicle. We quickly rigged up our rods. Mike went with an olive crystal nymph and I went with a black dry fly hoping to get some on top.
After Mike had landed his 12th Grayling to my 0 Grayling, I decided it was time to switch up. I rigged up my Echo and put on my yellow/gold/orange UV nymph. It did well up here last year, and does at pretty much any other Uinta lake. This year was no different. I immediately starting getting into fish. I did try that leech pattern I tied up the day before with no luck. They wanted to the nymphs.
The fishing was red hot for the first two hours. Mike and I both were bringing them in every 2 or three casts. It really doesn't get any better than this. We landed a few fish in the 16" range, but no big one yet (well none of the BIG, Grayling. I will take 16" Graylings all day long haha).
I waded out to a shelf where most of the fish were holding and started to work the area. I landed a half dozen fish or so. The next fish hit my fly pretty hard and felt bigger than the others. I pulled it in and it appeared to be one of those slabs that resides in this lake. And it was. It was a BRUTE, not only did it measure to 18", it was thick. This sort of fish makes all the effort coming out to an area like this worth it. I was very satisfied. We took a few pics and let it go.
It was starting to get late so Mike and I reluctantly decided it was time to head out. We started to make our way around the lake when we walked up onto some gear. Two camouflage bags, an empty canteen, 3 sleeping mats still rolled up lying on the ground, a box for a tent that was no where to be seen, a box of matches and a box full of Bear Load rounds...
Well, this was a head scratcher. The gear was wet, from the rain that had fallen the night before so it had been here at least 24 hours since it hadn't rained today. Where were the owners? We hadn't seen or heard any evidence of any other people up here including tracks. This kind of gave us the willies. Who leaves gear like this, especially an expensive box of rounds? The bags were pretty much empty other than a few clothes and other odds and ends. It's as if it was abandoned. We looked around to see if we could see anyone and couldn't, after awhile we decided to leave it and move on.
We got to the other side of the lake and headed back down the stream where we came from. About a mile from the gear we found, we found more gear that we had missed on the way up. This time it was 2 big sleeping bags still rolled up, what appeared to be 3 tents still wrapped up in the stuff sacks as if they had never been taken out before ie straight out of that box we found earlier, a big pack of AA batteries, a hatchet and a half dozen unspent 357 rounds on the ground...
Like the first set of gear it was wet and seemed to have been up there for at least a full day. This gear really gave us the creeps. Both Mike and I had some crazy scenarios going through our heads. I mean we either expected to roll up on some dead bodies or be shot.
Basically there were some people who completely bugged out for what ever reason and left a lot of gear up there or they are lost and stranded somewhere and were unable to get back to their gear. There wasn't really much we could do at this point so we continued on our hike.
We chatted a bit about this whole thing and we were a bit on edge for awhile. But as we walked on, the tension eased up a bit. Being all alone in the middle of nowhere is pure bliss, until you come across something like that. Than your imagination kind of gets the best of you.
3.5 hours later with 1 hour of sunlight left, we make it back to the Pathfinder. Mike and I were completely exhausted and couldn't wait to get off our feet. All in all, it was a great trip.
I did call into the ranger station the next day to report what we had found. They found it very odd and a bit concerning as well. They actually had someone going up in that area already so they were going to check it out. Hope nothing comes of it and it's just abandoned gear.

The third in the line of leader Dingbots, a series of small, compact Clanks created by Agatha. Presumably created in response to the disharmony between the other two active Dingbot leaders, Dingbot Prime and Deuce Dingbot, which had begun exhibiting Sparky behavior (most especially, beginning a full-scale war using their own Clank creations in the bowels of Castle Heterodyne), Queenie appears to have the ability to force obedience from all other Dingbots, Dingbot Prime and Deuce Dingbot included.
It remains to be seen whether this is a good thing or not, of course, since it presumably has the same tendencies towards Sparky behavior that the other Dingbots share.
Recently, March 25, 2013, a callipygian clank that bears a resemblance to Queenie ✣ has been shown with wings amoung a number of other flying dingbots. Did Agatha build the flying dingbots, or did Queenie?
Known Attributes Edit
Queenie is callipygian ✣ . Queenie is approximately spherical, bright brass with gold accents, and about four inches in diameter, with a good deal of nice chasing embellishing her body. She has delicately modelled limbs, with the most finely detailed hands yet seen on a Dingbot. She also posseses an antenna and a retractable crown, just to drive the point home to the stubborn among her fellow dingbots. She has an extra eye above and slightly left of her larger central eye, perhaps so she can watch Prime and Deuce at the same time.
She can Heterodyne, apparently with considerable force, and when her crown popped out, it positively crackled with power. While Prime and Deuce lead their broods by default, Queenie was literally built to command.
She is the size and shape of the device Agatha was working off her post Si Vales Valeo ✣ rush on. She received her name, the only Canonical name held by a Dingbot, quite casually. In passing on Agatha's instructions, Zeetha simply addressed her as "Hey, Queenie!"

In an age where every hero has a gimmick and the rest of us are hopelessly distracted by smartphones, it's refreshing to turn off devices to spend a couple of hours with Sherlock Holmes, a detective whose "super" power is deductive reasoning.
While others see, Holmes observes, as he tells his friend, Watson, in Sherlock Holmes: The Final Adventure. See and observe Steven Dietz's clever update of an 1899 play at Dallas Theater Center and you'll be in for quite an adventure, indeed.
The tale unfolds with rich theatrical foreboding, as Watson, played with appealing loyalty by Kieran Connolly, recounts the last time he saw Holmes alive. Dark mists part and Holmes (portrayed with cerebral force by lanky Chamblee Ferguson) is lying on a chaise longue that slides silently to the front of the aged-looking stage as if a camera has just zoomed in on the action.
We soon learn Holmes is obsessed with two things: bringing brilliant archcriminal James Moriarty to justice and listening to recordings of Irene Adler's lovely singing.
A distraction emerges in the form of a distraught King of Bohemia (Hassan El-Amin) needing help in recovering a suggestive photograph of himself and Adler. Or is it a distraction? Holmes swiftly surmises the nefarious Moriarty is behind it because he is, after all, "the Napoleon of crime" (the moniker T.S. Eliot later bestowed on Macavity the cat).
DTC artistic director Kevin Moriarty (no relation to James) deftly maneuvers a masterly cast through tricky twists and turns, while reveling in the theatricality of a battle where a mental trick or illusion can tip scales. As Holmes' nemesis, Regan Adair's unflappable air rustles with risk. Jessica D. Turner's Irene Adler stirs a smart, romantic tension that seems just as adept at throwing Holmes off his game.
Underlining the elaborate plays-within-a-play construction, Russell Parkman's Victorian-style set sports maroon curtains framing a projection of a grimy London landscape and punctuates the back of Holmes' office with glass jars glinting with mysterious brews, file cabinets stuffed with unusually filed data and a skeleton reminiscent of mortality.
Accentuating the mood, Jennifer Ables' costumes conjure the classic Victorian look, complete with trench coats, while Clifton Taylor's smoky lighting and Ryan Rumery's sound, from melodramatic murmurs to the drip of water in a pivotal scene, heighten suspense.
There's no shortage of Holmeses on film, including two recent hits starring Robert Downey Jr. and Jude Law, with multiple high-tech explosions and thrills.
It's hard, however, to think of a better way to pay homage to this low-tech hero than seeing him live, using nothing more than wits, wordplay and a costume or two to play tricks on others' less finely developed powers of observation.

Thanks for visiting our blog! I am so excited to introduce you to The Wedding Shoebox!

La Sportiva is expanding its current climbing team with new athletes from all the ascent-oriented disciplines; from alpine, to sport, to boulder. While their respective segments of climbing may differ, all the team members have one thing in common, they go up, and do so in style. Demonstrating excellence in their sport, in the form of comp wins or remarkable ascents, allowed each member a coveted spot on La Sportiva's North American team. Among these notable feats was new team member Alex Honnold's repeat of Peter Croft's famous single-day solo of Astroman and the North Face of Rostrum in the Yosemite Valley. Suffice to say that the team members bring to the table a laundry list of competitive successes and noteworthy climbing experience that will strengthen Sportiva's existing team. For more info on La Sportiva's new climbing team click here, or check out the company's team website.

A wealthy Wall Street CEO believes Bernie Sanders will be the next best president. Read on to discover why…
(US Uncut) Andrew Weeraratne is the wealthy CEO of a company that makes millions on Wall Street. And, according to an recent interview he did with PoliticalPeopleBlog, he's also one of Bernie Sanders' biggest supporters.
Weeraratne is CEO of NGFC Equities, which describes itself as a cross between Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway and the Mondragon Cooperative in Spain. NGFC is a financial securities/hedge fund company that grows its business through acquisitions and investments in the public market, but it's also a cooperative business that makes all of its employees corporate shareholders. Weeraratne made his wealth through a lifetime of entrepreneurship since age 14, and has been involved in startups in four continents along with authoring the book called Uncommon Commonsense Steps to Super Wealth.
@AndrewWeeraratn last chance saloon, Next periodic crash, with no Corbyn & Sanders.Get yourself a Marx was right t-shirt. 08 was a close one
— Teh PLEB (@TehPLEB) January 3, 2016
The wealthy financier is also quick to point out how the economy and the financial sector is rigged by the rich — something Bernie Sanders has repeatedly said on the campaign trail.
@realDonaldTrump "Fortysixmillion under povertyline" The major reason: lack of capital that 1% get at zero cost through equity in public mkt
— Andrew Weeraratne (@AndrewWeeraratn) December 6, 2011
"Bernie Sanders, I believe, is one of the most honest politicians in the world," Weeraratne said in an interview with PoliticalPeopleBlog (PPB).
"You can expect Sanders to rise up to do the right thing for all the people. He has been consistent with his track record of helping working people, fighting to provide healthcare to all, provide safe retirement for ordinary people and stand up to the most powerful individuals who would like to take over the country only for their own benefit," Weeraratne continued.
Weeraratne is an avid believer in Keynesian economics, which calls for widespread public investment in infrastructure to grow jobs and the middle class. He has also repeatedly tweeted his criticisms of Austrian economic theory, which advocates the dismantling of the public sector.
@RonPaulFlix No observable evidence Austrian economics work whereas Scandinavia is an example of successful Keynesian http://t.co/1AIKbrac
— Andrew Weeraratne (@AndrewWeeraratn) December 5, 2011
Weeraratne told PPB that he hopes a President Sanders would take the advice of the Modern Monetary Theory economic group, which pushes for a modified version of Keynesian economic policies tailored for a modern economy.
"Personally, I believe Sanders should not try to hit the 1% immediately without having a solid economic plan since [the economic elite] would do everything they could to get rid of him immediately," Weeraratne said. "When Sanders becomes President the most important thing he should do is to get rid of the bankers who are advising both parties at this time and hire this group."
As the Sanders' campaign approaches the first-on-the-nation Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, Weeraratne argues that Sanders should begin publicly naming his would-be cabinet members, who can elaborate on his policy proposals before the election actually takes place.
"Sanders should begin the process of setting up his team even before getting elected, as they do in the UK (a shadow cabinet). Then he can communicate their strategy openly and if most voters hear his vision, they will realize what he says makes lot of sense and will support him," Weeraratne said.

Students Create Robotic Locker Opener for Disabled Classmate
Muscular dystrophy robbed Nick Torrance of his ability to walk, which would be hard enough for a teenager to handle. But it also hindered his everyday capabilities such as opening his locker at school.
Fortunately, Nick's high school classmates were clever enough to create a solution as a homework assignment.
Two Pinckney Community High School seniors used their robotics ingenuity and created an electronic automatic locker opener.
The amazing device operates with a remote control on Torrance's wheelchair.

Why are robust messaging features worth seeking out? A few reasons.
We've always believed that it's impossible to limit learning to the classroom. (As Justin said in his recent Medium post, "Life doesn't stop outside of class. Learning shouldn't either.") Messaging features are huge connectors of what happens during classtime with what happens after the bell rings.
You've probably heard us say all this before. Here's what we mean.
Messaging vs. Email
Messaging features present options for a teacher to more rapidly respond to questions or address the whole class with course updates. A student is better able to reach another student for help. It's clutch stuff.
And to those of you thinking "Email! Duh!" let's be real about email culture. While you can shoot a message to a colleague or classmate (assuming you have that info) and accomplish the same end, it's a more passive ritual than modern messaging. Email is easier to ignore; it's a communication less suited for quick questions and updates than it is for longer correspondence that can wait a day or two for a response.
This is not to say that email is dead. (No way. Email is great.) It's to say that we have more ways to communicate than we have ever had before. It behooves us to match our message with the right platform. Messaging features make a lot of sense for class-wide news and notes.
Active Communication (Not Passive)
Messaging has the distinct benefit of being a more active form of communication than other routes, pinging a user with a text or push notification and begging a faster response and/or more immediate attention. This active form of communication is a must for students stuck on homework who are looking for help from classmates or an instructor. It's better suited to reach a student outside of class and/or via a mobile device.
(And messaging tools housed in your LMS or a similar learning platform have the perk of being displayed in front of schoolwork.)
Yes, students will message each other about non-homework things. It's going to happen no matter what. Wouldn't you rather it happen when a student can look a running list of assignments they must complete in the background of their chat? Pushing students to connect in a safe digital space where they can interact with other elements of their school life: that's our goal with messaging features.
Yes, You Can Take Breaks
We're not so stubborn as to believe that there aren't instances when the instant, active communication offered by a messaging system could become a distraction. We recently wrote about how to disable our messaging system during classtime. Taking a break from messaging is A-okay. But there are lots of reasons you'd want it up and running after class is dismissed.
Agree? Disagree? Share your thoughts on messaging with us in the comments.

Driving Improvements with Lean Pilots
Lean, agile and Lean Startup can strengthen each other for driving improvement. Lean Pilots, a data-driven improvement framework for removing major cross-functional organizational impediments, has been used to drive internal continuous improvement.
Organizing Improvements with Lean Leadership at ING Bank
It's the manager's job to organize improvements and to make sure that real learnings take place. For real learnings you must accept the unknown and move outside of your knowledge boundary. Agile, lean and continuous delivery help to boost your learning capabilities.
Making Distributed Development Work
Distributed development depends on effective communication: you need to look for ways to have robust and diverse communication, build empathy towards each other to encourage feedback, and keep an eye on motivation. Team members are more engaged and creative when there's shared ownership and responsibility for complete delivery from idea to production in distributed teams.
Overcoming Self-Imposed Limitations
People can feel limited when challenged, which slows them down or keeps them from trying. It can be a real problem, but their fear might actually be in their imagination. Sometimes the only thing that's holding you back is yourself. Survival rules can hinder us- sometimes you have to break them.
Experimenting with Peer Feedback in Tech Teams
Feedback can be used to build trust in teams and help individuals improve their skills and grow in their craft. Emily Page and Doug Talbot shared their experiences from experimenting with peer feedback at Ocado Technology at Spark the Change London 2016. An interview with Emily Page, Organizational Catalyst at Ocado Technology.
Managing in the Networked Society
More and more now value is created through connected organizations and individuals using seamless collaboration across boundaries. At the same time however, many companies are still influenced by management practices invented in 19th century. A paradigm shift is needed to successfully manage in the networked society.
Increase Learning with 10% Autonomy Time
Giving teams autonomy to spend 10% of their time for learning reduces delivery time, increases quality, and increases motivation. The 10% rule gives teams full autonomy to work on things they consider important. It results in freeing up people's creativity and letting teams grow their potential.
Don't Copy the Spotify Model
The Spotify model can help you to understand how things are done at Spotify, but you shouldn't copy it in your own organization. It changes all the time as people at Spotify learn and discover new things. There is no one way in which software is developed at Spotify.
Continuous Improvement Beyond Retrospectives
If you want continuous improvement you can start with retrospectives, but you must go far beyond that with change management, culture change, and innovation. The most important thing in order to make change happen in organizations is creating new habits and changing your culture.
Rethink Leadership: Being Ordinary to Accomplish Extraordinary Results
Ordinariness in leadership can help us to accomplish extraordinary results, argues agile/lean coach Katherine Kirk. Several more people have explored approaches that suggest to rethink leadership and go back to behaviour basics for leading people. Although these approaches are about small ordinary things, their effect may cause a revolution in the way organizations are being managed.
Getting the Data Needed for Data Science
Data science is about the data that you need; deciding which data to collect, create, or keep is fundamental argues Lukas Vermeer, an experienced Data Science professional and Product Owner for Experimentation at Booking.com. True innovation starts with asking big questions, then it becomes apparent which data is needed to find the answers you seek.
How GlobalLogic Used a Bottom-up Approach to Become More Agile
Yuriy Koziy, delivery manager at GlobalLogic, argued at the Agile Eastern Europe 2016 conference that organizational change should start at the team level rather than in senior management. He formed a group of like-minded engineering managers and agile coaches who act as change agents, transforming the organization bottom-up from the inside.
Growing Agility
Andrea Tomasini will give a keynote talk titled "Stop Scaling, Start Growing an Agile Organization" at the Agile Eastern Europe 2016 Conference. InfoQ interviewed him about growing agility.
Marketing Communications Chapter by Agile Consortium
The Agile Consortium has launched the MarComs chapter which aims to exchange knowledge on agile among marketing and communication professionals. InfoQ interviewed Jeremy Curtin, one of the founders and chair of this initiative.
Applying Feedback Techniques
Dan North talked about models and techniques for giving and receiving feedback and how to apply them effectively at the QCon London 2016 conference.

The average dog is a nicer person than the average person
-Andy Rooney-
If Maks leaves then I will stop watching. Val is hot but in all honestly...he is no Maks!
Some people dream of having a big swimming pool - with me it's closets."
-Audrey Hepburn.
Okay, hands up everyone: Behaves like Maks, looks like Mark - who is still a fan?
And so it begins, the end of times..
Maks has never had a complete clunker that never had a chance (like a Master P or a Buz Aldrin). Maks has had several viable contenders that never quite made it all the way. These Include: Laila Ali (3rd place season 4), Mel B (2nd place season 5), Misty-May Traenor (looking good in season 7 before her injury), Erin Andrews (3rd place season 10), Brandy (4th place season 11), Kirstie Alley (2nd place season 12). None of his other partners looked that bad on paper. Many were young and fit. These include: Willa Ford, Denise Richards, and Hope Solo. I do agree that his remaining partners (Tia Carrere, Debi Mazar, and Mellisa Gilbert) would not be predicted to go all the way, but would also not be predicted to be first exits.
I think that Maks has had a reasonable mix of partners, no better and no worse than many other pros. He hasn't had nearly the worst. That honor goes to Ashley DelGrosso-Costa (Master P, Harry Hamlin Buzz Aldrin).
Of all of Max's partners I have never seen him so himself as he was with Melissa. He seems to really care for her, not in a BF/GF way but just as a human being. I think he really appreciated her and had a genuine like for her. I was amazed at the things he said to her and it didn't seem like pro/student babble like we usually hear. I found it fascinating. Melissa must be one of those people that brings out the best in other people. We all know them, they look normal, may not be the most physically stand out person but there is just a quality about them that makes you feel comfortable with them, forgiven, accepted and even special. It isn't about romance. I don't think I've even seen Max more genuine. He usually seems either bored or p/o'd about having to be there. He was different this time. I liked it a lot.
Denise Richards and Debi Mazar may not have been clunkers in the Kate or Kim Kardashian category, but they were probably his worst partners. Denise was unpopular at the time, so that didn't help, either. I somewhat disagree about not knowing the winner in advance. On paper, sometimes it's easy to tell, like the examples you listed. Other times, once the season starts and you see how the scoring and comments go, then it's easy to tell. I knew by week 2 Katherine and William would be in the finals, and by week 4, it'd probably be Donald with them. I expected Melissa out earlier, and thought Gladys would last longer based on fan votes (and maybe she would have without the dance off). Other than that, the season has gone as expected. I thought Katherine and William might have been at a disadvantage based on the unknown factor, but that hasn't stopped J.R., Kyle Massey, or Gilles Marini from making it to the end. So it's really no surprise we have the final 4 we do.
Tony and Jonathan get the award for most clunkers in a TV show...
I do feel that you can pick out the best dancers after only a few weeks in the season. That is not surprising to me at all, especially given the fact that the contestants have had a chance to work with their pro for a few weeks prior to the first show. This will usually predict the judges scoring as I do feel they score the merit of dances for the most part - although sometimes I don't understand what CA and Bruno are looking at. This predicts who will land at the top of the judges leader board, but as we know this is only part of the story.
The unpredictable part is the viewer voting as it is often not based on factors that easy to predict on a week to week basis. There ore often instances of:
- voting for the worst contestant as a prank (some websites even promote this)
- not voting for your favorite because their judges scores are high so they are safe - always a bad strategy
- stuffing the ballot box - rabid fans have been known to create hundreds of e-mail accounts to vote
- voting for the pro instead of the contestant - either for or against (as pros become more popular I expect more of this)
For this reason I find it unusual that the final group is known ahead of time. Usually some of the best dancers will make it, but not always. There are almost always contestants who stay longer than their more talented contemporaries.
People always complain about the judges on this show determining the outcome with their scoring, but when you consider that it is rare to see less than a "7" in the later part of any season and when you do the math you will find that the viewers will easily overcome the judges scores. This is especially true this season when anything less than an "8" is rare.
I perhaps naively look at this as a dance competition. I like to see the best dancers stick around because I am entertained by good dancing far more than I am by backstage drama and various degrees of "hotness", male or female. I also believe in preserving (at least to some degree) the integrity of the dance styles being competed. I base my voting on those criteria. I suppose in that respect I relate best to Len, who I also believe tries to do so. Others will do as they please and base their voting on whatever they wish including the list I mentioned above. Because of this variability I refuse to get too upset over any results. My favorite contestants will continue to be those who excelled in their dancing, whether or not they win.

Your body will make the right amount of milk for your baby if you feed on demand. DD didn't STTN until around a year or so, though most night nursing sessions were more for comfort rather than nutrition after about 6 months. Don't worry about pumping at night. When the baby is super little they'll probably wake up every 2-3 hours to eat. If not, you should wake baby for a feed every four hours. You'll probably leak a little at night until your body figures out how much milk baby needs, but it'll level off on its own. There will be random nights when your baby might sleep longer than usual because their patterns are really erratic at first, and in that case you might get a little engorged but it won't cause a problem unless it's a regular thing.

Virgin Media has partnered with Everything Everywhere to offer its customers access to the Orange network in addition to the T-Mobile network it already uses.
The company says it has reached an agreement with Everything Everywhere to allow its customers to use either network from today (7 October). T-Mobile and Orange customers have already been able to use either network since October last year, following the creation of the Everything Everywhere joint venture.
All Virgin Media customers will be able to use both networks by the end of the year automatically. In the meantime, they will have to visit a website – www.virginmedia.com/coverage - or send the word Yes to 789777 to receive the benefits.
T-Mobile coverage will be labelled "Virgin", whilst Orange coverage will be labelled "virgin" to differentiate the networks. The networks will both be free of charge.
Graeme Oxby (pictured), executive director of home phone and mobile at Virgin Media said customers will now be able to 'benefit from enhanced mobile coverage'.

Tyler Police are looking for three people who robbed a convenience store early this morning. Just before 3 AM, officers responded to the K's Express Food Mart located at 1516 South Vine. The clerk told officers that three white males entered the store, with their faces covered. One of the men pointed a handgun at the clerk and demanded money.
The man carrying the gun then walked behind the counter and took an undisclosed amount of money from the cash register. He then handed the money to a second man who was standing on the other side of the counter. The third man stood by the door and acted as a lookout. All three men then exited the store and ran from the area on foot. No shots were fired and no one was injured.

Deputy Prime Minister Mark Vaile has conceded election promises may drain the government's multi-billion dollar transport infrastructure program of budgeted funds.
The government allocated $22.3 billion to Auslink II in the May Budget.
But at three simultaneous press conferences in Sydney, Brisbane and Melbourne on Sunday, the coalition committed $10.5 billion to roads and rail-freight projects on the eastern seaboard.
Prime Minister John Howard, who announced the Sydney component of the package, said there would be more funding announcements for South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania between now and election day on November 24.
Treasurer Peter Costello is expected to make an announcement on Monday about funding for South Australian projects.
Earlier in the campaign the coalition promised billions of dollars to upgrade the Bruce Highway in Queensland and the Pacific Highway in NSW.
Mr Vaile, campaigning on the NSW-Queensland border at Tweed Heads, said it was reasonable to expect the government would extend funding for Auslink II beyond the budget allocation.
While the Auslink II budget had not yet been spent, funding announcements planned for later in the campaign would take it over its allocation, he said.
"The funding envelope that we announced in the budget of this year was $22.3 billion and not quite all of it has been committed.
"We have made some major announcements such as yesterday's ... we will be making further announcements.
"Of course, that will obviously give rise and reasonable expectation that there will be more funding over the budget envelope.
"If there are announcements that take us beyond the funding envelope it will mean that we are making a commitment to provide more funding into Auslink."

There is usually a very good reason that some of my predictions are left out of the primary list. These predictions such as we see below are murky and yet at times they work wonderfully when spoken in reverse. In the case of 72 I recall feeling an overwhelming emptiness that one might experience beyond the sinking dread of attainment. In spite of this, I have always felt that both 61 and 72 are related.
for example, something between the Sunni and Christian Armageddonists
When viewing this, Iraq and the influence of Iran is revealed as [X] occurs to me. The danger of assurances? Russia.
Emptiness represents the essence of our truth. To fill one's heart with this answers for desire and the destiny of dust. The deeds of such are known throughout history.

This video is an announcement from the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists on January 26, 2017
16.The outgoing President Obama will be judged as a brilliant lawyer, strategist, and campaigner presenting nothing more than eight long years of abject boredom, recalcitrant domestic policy, and useless rhetoric. I cannot agree with his pathological support for the consequentialist lie that resulted in a political revolution pushing the pendulum beyond the pale.
Confirmation of structure in Manhattan , NY
"The Mandela Effect" by A.C.H.
In the image above, we see a lion standing either before or beyond Venus. This is in part to suggest that Donald Trump's virtue best represents hope within one's darkest hour. When thinking of this, we can best understand what Christ meant when stating in his own words that he was "the bright morning star…" (Revelation 22:16).
2. For the first time in America's history, a woman will likely meet the long awaited challenge to effectively campaign for the position of either a Vice President or President concerning any party. I also believe that a voter based push against supporters of the Affordable Care Act prior to the national elections in 2016 will to some extent distort the views and expectations of the Republican Party. Success for any Republican Presidential Candidate in 2016 will largely depend upon the ability to effectively project acceptance without judgment. This means that "hatred" in the usual form of religiosity must no longer indiscreetly involve political platforms.
As for Donald Trump's Vice Presidential pick, we find that his choice does not line up with the prediction in terms of gender and if it had, I am certain that his path for the Presidency would have been assured in terms of a more predictable outcome.
Does this mean that Hillary Clinton will be our next President of the United States in 2016?
Now that I have nearly exhausted a limited source of relative information to determine who will win the national elections in 2016, I am naturally inclined to pick the outlier rather than a more rational and predictable choice of Hillary Clinton. Although the Clinton campaign is brilliant, capable, and backed by a world of established powers, I am stimulated by the unexpected and feel that our nature is best served by foundational patterns. It is a fact that without the error, I would not be the remote viewer I am today nor would we exist.
Should the following be misunderstood as an error, so be it. I am displaying this for the interest I have in observation and what is considered to be a question of the optimal outcome. Where am I in terms of the aforementioned horizon? Perhaps it does not matter as the following requires that we engage honestly in choice while understanding consequence.
A Trump win would provide a new yet futile day in the sun for independence while a Clinton win will assist in world participation toward the purchasing of time in lieu of human extinction.
Venus and Projection by A.C.H.
As of this writing, I am now in a position that is close enough to the horizon for which the national election will change the course of human history. This also represents the very best time in which to remote view who exactly will be our next President of the United States in 2016. Unlike past sessions in which I took for granted where we are within the multiverse, I am today slightly more certain in terms of a hard-won point of reference. Although the technique of remote viewing is imperfect, much as been learned of previous errors.
Who then will become our next President of the United States of America in 2016?
I am now setting the table for a very lengthy viewing session that will be recorded. The purpose of this will include the informed choice, observation of techniques employed by myself, and education. Front loaded sessions are extremely difficult to perform and as such, a lower probability of success must be expected. Never the less, I am today the most controversially successful viewer with unparalleled skill that will attempt the unimaginably difficult process by which a non-historical source of information is rendered.
Will I be successful?
Preliminary observations to be excluded from sessions will include the following:

When you create guitar solos, do you feel like you are just repeating the same ideas you have already played over and over? Does it seem that you are copying the same solos from others guitarists that you listen to? This is the unfortunate reality for most guitar players. Many musicians get into certain habits that cause them to create guitar solos that all feel and sound the same. So, what are these habits, and how can you learn to come up with more creative guitar solos?
The reason why many guitarists continually make guitar solos that sound the same, is because they consistently use the same method for creating their solos.
The majority of guitar players approach solos in the following way: they will listen to the chords or riffs they are supposed to play over, and then improvise some melodies until something feels right. This process continues until the guitar solo is complete. Does this sound familiar to you?
Unfortunately, using the same guitar soloing approach as everyone else can only lead to one result: a guitar solo that has a very similar sound to nearly every other guitar solo out there. Although a lot of good music can (and has been) created in this way, it is important to also be aware of the limitations of this guitar soloing method.
To illustrate a point let's use a very well known guitar player: Yngwie Malmsteen. Yngwie is known worldwide as one of the best solo guitar players. Most of the time his guitar soloing has the same consistent sound due to the same consistent method he uses to compose his solos. However, Yngwie has been playing guitar at a high level for many years and is obviously satisfied with the way he plays, so the fact that his solos are similar is not an issue for him and his millions of fans (such as myself). With that said, if you are not satisfied with how your guitar solos sound, then you obviously do have an issue that must be fixed.
So what is a good way to solve this issue? In this article I will focus on one of the more innovative guitar soloing methods that I have found to work with great success.
Take a listen to all of the singers that you enjoy listening to and choose one. You will now compose a guitar solo based on the way the singer sings his/her melodies. There exist many ways to go about doing this, and I'm going to give you one of them here. I will also provide you with a free video to watch (below) that will give a live guitar solo demonstration. This approach consists of five steps:
Step One: Select a great vocal melody from any song by your favorite singer.
Step Two: Focus on playing that vocal line (on guitar) in the same way that the singer sings it. Be very precise here, and pay attention to detail in your guitar playing (in other words, don't simply "play the notes" – focus on mimicking the subtle details of phrasing and nuance in how the notes are sung).
Step Three: Once you can play the melody in a very articulate manner, pick out the notes that seem to be the strongest points of the melody. Write these notes down in some form.
Step Four: Cut out all of the rest of the pitches and focus only on the most important notes identified in Step Three above.
Step Five: Write a guitar solo by having the notes you picked stay as they are. Then, make new guitar runs and phrasing based on the notes to fit in between them.
To see how these five steps can be applied in your guitar practicing, watch this free video on how to write great guitar solos.
Oh, and I should also mention that I flew in Fabio Lione (Singer for Rhapsody Of Fire) from Europe just so he could provide incredible vocals in my master class for guitar solos. You can see a short sample of this in the above video.
The more you practice the method described in this article, the better you will get at playing melodic guitar solos whenever you want. You will see great improvement as your guitar solos stop sounding like all the other solos you've already heard, and start to take on their own distinct sound.

text: post reviews of shows that you have seen this summer last show i went to was pearl jam in dc last tuesday the show was fucking amazing. i was in the 200 section towards the back of the sides but i could still see them fine. They played with an amazing amount of energy compared to the one show that is on dvd (live in nyc, Vedder looks like he's a little bit sick on that show) I really liked how they started betterman with the keyboard player instead of the traditional vedder guitar. when someone posts the setlist, they can anwser this question, but what was the second to last song played (vedder dedicated the song to dick cheney.) while the show stared out playing alot of radio hits, they backed off them about half way through the first set. Also surprised that they only played two songs from ten "even flow" and "alive". also, no "daughter", "rocken in the free world", "baba o ryley" and almost nothing from riot act. My Morning Jacket was ok, but for some reason I couldn't get into them. There was also a preset song with Eddie just on an accoustic guitar. So I really enjoyed the show. here's a look at my summer concert schedule june 24 Dope w/ Bleed the Sky - A New Revolution - Makeshift Romeo at recher theatre july 12 she wants revenge at sonar july 21 Kottonmouth Kings w/Hed P.E at rams head live july 24 candlebox at rams head august 6 ozzfest at nissan

Fairy Love
On day Gibriel was a school and he was having a hard time with students there, he was bully because of who short he was he standing height was only 3'11 and he was only in the 10 grade. Gabe didn't really like the people at his school because how bad the bullying...so they next day after breck Gabe whet back to school and when he went to go to his first class of the day he ran into a new student, and the new student was in his seat but they really didn't have assigned seats...Gabriel didn't want to seem rube by asking the new student to move from his seat, so Gabriel move to the next seat back.
Later that day Gabriel was walking in the hallways and right by his locker where the bullies just standing there by his lock like the usually do, the bullies did the same thing everyday. They pick him up and throw Gabriel across the room and were Gabriel landed, he landed were the new student was standing at. Gabriel was crying because of the pain, the bullying, and that people were always laugh at him...Gabriel just want to leave a normal life and not be a High class Fairy Boy that got bully every day because of his height. Gabriel got up and walk away with tears going down his face and he went back to the forest where he lived with his mother...
(Excuse me, may I join?)
(Yes you may)
(Thanks )
Drago was walking to his locker. I am glad that I can change into a human form... he thought. He came here from another world, so it was hard for him. But he learned. His eyes looked brown now. He pushed his blonde hair out of his face. Drago was almost by his locker but then...
A really short boy landed on the floor right infront of him. There were three bullies, laughing at the boy. The boy cried, and got and walked away. I will not let this happen, he thought. Drago was one of the tallest boys in this school, so he was much taller than the bullies. Drago 's eyes turned to his red dragon eyes for a second. He ran over tho the bullies.
After ten minutes, the bullies laid on the floor, groaning because of the pain. Idiots, Drago thought, I should find the boy and ask him if he is okay...
He ran out of the school, looking for the boy.
Gabriel was now to deep into the forest where his mother live. Gabriel walk in the front door with his wings flapping as much as they can trying to get the dust off of them, then he shouts "Oriel...Mother Oriel..." Gabriel looks around for her but sadly cant find her so, Gabriel is almost out of the door tell he hears a voice in his hade and it says "Go back to school, it not safe here..." he knew who voice that was he just ignore it and walk out the door and goes back to school hoping nothing bad would happen...
After 15 minutes, Drago gave up. I hope he is okay... he thought. He walked back to school. When he get there, he saw the bullies, talking in the hall. When they saw him, they quickly got out of his way. Drago got to his locker, and opened it. He grabbed his stuff, and walked to the classroom...
Gabriel went back to the school. Went Gabriel got the to his locker he got out his stuff and went one his way..then he end up bumping into the need kid...Gabriel quickly said "I am sorry!!!" and walk away as fast as his little feet could go
Gabriel got back to class and the teacher look at his wings and the look very damaged due to the fact that he throw into a wall, Gabriel didn't care about the pain, he just want the pain to stop, and fir the bullying to stop because he was short ans a homosexall...he hated who people treat him...he was still normal enough to live...after the teacher saw Gabriel wing he told him to go to the office and write down what happen so we could get it fix, but Gabriel didn't want any attention to himself, he hated it a lot to be honest, but he did what the teacher said to him...
Drago looked at him. Wait... He has... Wing? But it looks wounded after they threw him on the floor... Okay, calm down... He was getting angry again. But he must calm down. Okay, stop or you will change into Full Dragon Form... And, I most go to that boy and tell him that the bullies will not attack him anymore.
The last bell rang. Drago went to his locker. He grabbed all his stuff, and waited for the boy.
Gabriel came out of the office with his wing pin down on his back to he couldn't use them till they heal fully. He went to his locker and got his stuff to go home back in the woods. Gabriel passed by the new boy and kindly walk away a little faster because he was scared of him but also he thought he took really cute.
Drago walked to him. It was really easy, because the boy was almost a half smaller than him.
"H-hey, I just wanted to tell you something... The bullies who attacked you... You don 't need to worry anymore. They are afraid even to touch you now," he said and smiled a little.
I hope he is okay... he thought.
Gabriel look at him confused, "What do you mean by thet?" he ask and tilts his hade looking at you. Gabriel also thought to himself 'His voice is so sweet and and so warming I could just melt to his voice' Gabriel also really did find him really cute and kinda to him.
"Well... They got beaten up... By me..." he said and grinned a little.
When he talked about the fight, his eyes changed to normal for a moment. But it quickly changed back, like it never happened. He smiled nervously, hoping that the boy didn 't see it.
Gabriel study him for a minute, before saying anything to him about the fight and what his name was. "Well, thank you for doing that for me. Oh, my name is Gabriel Campbell. Most people call me Gabe. What you name sir?" he said not willing to share that he was a homosexul fairy and that he found the other boy very handsome, kind to him, and he like the fact he stood up for him.
"Oh, my name is Drago. Nice to meet you, Gabe," he said and grinned.
Gabriel seemed really nice to him. And... He wanted to ask him a question.
"Umm... Gabe? I just wanted to ask you something... I saw that you have a wing, and I think it is pretty cool," he said and smiled, "and I wanted to ask: who are you? Like, I never saw anyone with a wing before..."
Okay... Some creatures in my world had wings, but that is still a little amount of knowledge... he thought.
Gabriel look at him and giggle slightly. "I am a fairy of nature and I protect it very much." he turns around to open up his wings that wear already heal. "See these are my wing." the wear clare and had left like symbols on them that were green and brown. Gabriel want to tell Drago that he was homosexal and that he found him handsome but he was not going to lose the friendship that he was trying to build with him.

Dear SweetWise
I just made my first wedding cake, I work out of my house and I recently purchased the mat from you guys because the demonstration on YouTube was great! I thought....I have to try this thing. I think covering the cake with fondant is always the hardest thing when making a cake. It's hard to keep your table sanitary (and I have a dog... With lots of hair) and its hard to roll it out evenly and quickly without it drying out and getting 10x sugar everywhere. Let me tell you, the mat is amazing! It saved me time and was so easy to use with professional results! I followed your demonstration and it worked exactly like you said! It was some of the best money I ever spent and I just want to thank you for making my cake decorating a lot easier! I absolutely love it! :)

All roads lead North for historic celebration
William Hill have underwritten this afternoon's celebration of 325 years of racing in the North by offering patrons free admission to Downpatrick -- where the sport was first introduced by royal decree in 1685.
A love affair with the National Hunt code in particular persists as strongly as ever in the region and leading stables, including those of Willie Mullins and Noel Meade, are represented as usual on an admittedly fairly modest jumping card.
A free pint of Carling awaits the first 325 people through the gates sporting Down colours and they could be raising their glasses to Cork-born Paul Townend, who has prospects of an early double aboard Black Rock Lake and Red Tiger.
Tom McCourt's consistent Black Rock Lake might have the measure of Noel Lawlor's Karkari in the opener, while the Mullins-trained Listowel bumper victor Red Tiger could then give weight and a beating to Cork-based Good Time Donie.
Willie Murphy's front-running Vinnie can complete a hat-trick under Barry Cash when tackling the larger obstacles this time in the William Hill Beginners Chase and the longer version of this event an hour later, should be within the scope of Meade's Accord Aris, before stable companion Jakros, runner-up at Tipperary to Another Chieftain, bids to secure swift compensation in the bumper for Nina Carberry.
Jumping fans are rather better catered for class-wise in Cork tomorrow when the successful association between Ruby Walsh and Tony Martin should yield another double on an equally sound surface, courtesy of Keelaghan and High Cian.
Keelaghan has been busy on the flat since defeating subsequent winner Fosters Cross for Ruby at Ballinrobe and they look primed to follow up in a similar race at the Mallow track, as both Schelm and Archie Boy appear to have gone off the boil somewhat.
In the frame on the level at Down Royal and Wexford, High Cian gained valuable jumping experience at Sligo when a close fifth to Double Seven and the champion jockey stays loyal to the High Chaparral gelding for the opening maiden hurdle.
The Stallion Owners Novice Hurdle that follows is more competitive and perhaps the best advice would be to give Takeyourcapoff another chance to make amends for a Listowel tumble when making a race of it with Ballyadam Brook.
That winner and Robert Power's mount were unable to contain that good mare Oilily on their most recent runs when second and fourth at Tipperary, but both a drop in class and the faster ground tomorrow will be a help to Jessica Harrington's charge.
Lively going proved no barrier to Mr Cracker when outjumping last Sunday's Limerick rivals on a sparkling debut over fences and Michael Hourigan's five-year-old is expected to repeat the dose here in the Stallion Farms Novice Chase.
The season's leading rider Andrew McNamara -- who won this race for the past two years on Sizing Africa and Catch Me -- takes over in the saddle from his keen rival Paul Carberry.
Christy Roche's Green To Gold can defy a mandatory 6lb penalty for Wednesday's smooth Punchestown success in the final leg of the Jackpot and Brian Nolan's Navan runner-up Fire Belt should step up a place now in the Paddy Power bumper.

The other day, while in the midst of the cacophonous tropical storm known in our home as "bath time," my son Cæd calmed for a moment, looked up, and gave a sly kind of half-grin. Being a modern-day Dad, I had my iPhone at hand, whipped it out, and caught his savoring of the moment on "film," posted it online, and basked in the glow of having bagged another trophy of the good times of being a family. As soon as I captured it though, I knew it wouldn't be enough. Its a shadow, a breath, and the best it can do is, like driving past a favorite restaurant, bring back memory of a savored experience. You see, it's not the memory I want, it's the meal.
Having several children now, we have been awed, and even a bit dazzled by the innumerable delights that have come along with each kiddo and each treasured moment that make up the stages of their rapidly growing lives. Each bit is so deep, so meaningful, and so influential in my own rapidly growing life, that my heart yearns to capture each second, hold it close in a big fatherly bear hug, and never let it go!
As young parents we are consistently given the piece of advice to "cherish these moments!" and I completely understand why! They are the grout that holds together the all the pieces in the mosaic of family life, they are the foundation clung to when the project of the moment seems to be fracturing, they are the sweet wine sipped on the front porch of reminiscence. And yet, it is inescapable that though we cling to them so closely, and though they be infinitely meaningful to our souls, they are but a breath, and then they are gone. Gone. And I think the truth is that this is actually what we were made for.
Now don't hear me wrongly; in our era of high quality cameras readily available at a moment's notice, I have become a big fan of Instagram! I've always been a picture kind of guy, and while I do love words, I am not nimble enough with them to succinctly capture the sweetness of the every-day in the midst of the every-day (hence this being the first blog post I've written in about 3 years). But pictures on the other hand, pictures! A whole relationship captured in the look one sibling offers the other, a unique angle that restructures the way you think about a familiar object, a particular focus that brings the essence of a moment new value. The ability to create an ongoing, in-the-moment, photo journal record of many of the sights, sounds, perspectives, and experiences that my family and I have been blessed to encounter together along the way is a beautiful thing! But the drive to preserve all of life's moments rather than simply chronicle them can leave us with a whole host of things we were never really made for: guilt at having missed the moment, ambition to use our families to show off to our friends, and even the hollow presence of being with one another in a moment but only by being on the other side of a lens and screen.
Rather, I believe Scripture shows us that we were actually made for transience. As Jesus gathered his disciples he never asked them simply to come to him and stop, but instead said "follow me" as he went forward. Paul talks about our life in Christ by reminding his readers that we are "being renewed day by day" (2 Cor. 4:16), by praying that our "love may abound more and more" (Phil. 1:9), and by exhorting that "all may see your progress" (1 Tim. 4:15). Mary even models this well when it says of her that, after giving birth to Jesus and hearing the revelation from the shepherds, she "treasured up all these things, pondering them in her heart" (Luke 2:19). Notice that she doesn't preserve them, yearning to hang on to them, but "pondering them, so as to understand their implications for the present and future. Life in Christ, and thus life as a whole, is for growth, moving us ever forward through his plans and designs.
Really, what I am trying to say in this somewhat round-about fashion, is that in an age that demands we document and preserve everything, what we are built for instead is to be present within and process everything. So keep Instagramming! Keep bringing up that obnoxious "There is not enough available storage" message on your iPhone! But do so in order to grow, in order to set markers of God's goodness that you can draw courage from in the future, in order to invite others into your blessings and tell of his faithfulness, and not in order to preserve certain moments or create a fable of "glory days" to morn. Our God is a God of forward motion, and thus we are a people of forward motion as well. Let us build wisely on the moments he gives us.
