It's as if you told a physicist that Einstein's General Theory of Relativity was topping the best-seller list. It's not supposed to happen. This is because the 14 fugues and four canons that make up The Art of Fugue constitute one of the most esoteric musical works ever written. Each fugue bears the severe title Contrapunctus followed by a number, and there is no indication of what instruments are supposed to play them. Every piece is in D minor; all are based on the same melodic theme. It's as if Bach intended the AOF as a theoretical treatise, to be read and studied rather than performed, to demonstrate some of the more arcane things you can do with the idea of a fugue.
Along the way, in an effort to convey why he considers the album an "unlikely" success, Swafford offers a pretty usable definition of what a fugue actually is, complete with audio examples as he then provides a tour of the piece.
Swafford even compares the Aimard performance with the decades-old, scat-sung version by the Swingle Singers, to which he confesses a nostalgic attachment.
The Aimard recording doesn't seem to be on Rhapsody, but the Glenn Gould recording is.
Jan Swafford is the author of several books:

Genetic defects are responsible for malformations of the heart and blood vessels, which account for the largest number of human birth defects. The estimated incidence of congenital heart disease is approximately 1% of all live births.1 The prevalence is estimated to be 10-fold higher among stillbirths.2 Genetic defects are responsible for familial cardiovascular disorders, such as cardiomyopathies, the long QT syndromes (LQTSs), as well as sporadic forms of such disorders. Over 3600 genes have been identified to date for single-gene disorders with Mendelian patterns of inheritance. Likewise, genetic factors predispose to common complex phenotypes, such as atherosclerosis and hypertension. Over 4000 loci have been mapped for complex phenotypes. Molecular genetic studies provide the opportunity to decipher the genetic basis and pathogenesis of many disorders, especially cardiovascular diseases. Genetic discoveries have the potential to lead to identification of new targets for the prevention and treatment of human diseases. This is best illustrated in the case of the PCSK9 gene, which was genetically mapped in 2003 as a cause of autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia.3 Recently, the discovery led to subsequent development of proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) inhibitors (evolocumab and alirocumab), which are highly effective for treatment of certain forms of hypercholerolemia.4,5 Partial deciphering of the genetic basis of cardiovascular disease has also ushered in routine genetic testing for various diseases, leading to an accurate genetic-based diagnosis and intervention. Given the rapid pace of genetic discoveries, it is expected that genetic diagnosis and genetic-based interventions will become incorporated into standard practice of medicine in the future. Thus, this chapter provides an overview of the genetic principles, and discusses the genetic basis for cardiovascular disorders as well as the medical and ethical implications of genetic findings. ++ The Human Genome ++ A genome is the complete set of the genetic material of each cell or individual: the nuclear and the mitochondrial genomes. The nuclear genome is composed of 3.2 billion base pairs. There are four types of nucleotides in each genome, two of which are purine (adenine, guanine) and two are pyrimidine (cytosine, thymine). The nuclear genome is distributed among 22 pairs of double-stranded autosomal chromosomes and two sex chromosomes (XX in females and XY in males). The sizes of chromosomes vary, with chromosome 1 being the largest at ~250 million base pairs and chromosome 21 the smallest at 48 million base pairs. The nuclear genome contains approximately 20,000 protein-coding genes.6 A gene has a 5′ transcriptional regulatory region, exons (which contain the protein coding sequence), introns (which are the intervening regions between exons), and the 3′ untranslated region (Fig. 55–1). The nuclear genome also contains several thousands of non–protein-coding genes that get transcribed into noncoding ribonucleic acids (RNAs) including microRNAs and long-noncoding RNAs. About 1% of the genome, which is approximately 300 million base pairs, code ...

Now that you've estab�lished a productive veg�etable garden, how about growing some pancakes, pasta and home-baked breads on the side?
Now that you've estab�lished a productive veg�etable garden, how about growing some pancakes, pasta and home-baked breads on the side?
Plant whole grains — cheap, low-maintenance grasses that produce edible seeds you can cook up raw (as you would rice), grind into flour, make into brews, or add fresh to salads and casseroles. Grains demonstrate that you don't need blooms to beautify small spaces. Think amber waves of grain, or patches of waist-high ornamen�tal grass swaying gracefully in the wind.
Add thrift to the equation, too, because a little goes a long way.
"A 1,000-square-foot plot planted with 2� pounds of barley seed will yield one bushel of barley," says Sara Pitzer, author of the updated "Home�grown Whole Grains: Grow, Harvest & Cook Wheat Barley, Oats, Rice, Corn & More" (Storey Publishing, 2009).
"If one bushel doesn't sound like much, consider that one cup of raw barley cooks up to generous�ly serve six people, and that most soup recipes — even ones making big pots of soup — call for only one-third cup of raw barley."
Grains also serve as nutritious recipe fillers, replacing pricier ingredients in a meat loaf or stew. "Put aside what you can't eat for planting the next year," Pitzer advises.
Whole grains usually recom�mended for home gardens include barley, buckwheat, corn, millet, oats, rice, rye, wheat and amaranth. Decide which grains or cereals you want to grow based on flavor, ease of harvest, hardiness and appearance.
Here's a Pitzer-provided primer to help get you started:
Barley: Matures faster and tolerates drought better than wheat. A fiber-rich plant known to reduce cholesterol and blood glucose levels. Frequently used for brewing.
Buckwheat: Broadleaf plant with a strong flavor that often is milled into flour for pancakes.
Corn: One of the easiest crops to grow. It can be eaten fresh, ground into cornmeal or popped into tender, bite-size puffs.
Millet: Tasty when served like rice or added to foods for its crunch. Loaded with protein, B vitamins and minerals.
Oats: Germinates quickly but difficult to harvest unless you go with hull-less varieties. Recom�mended for everything from biscuits to oatmeal.
Rice: Challenging to grow, but has limitless applications in recipes.
Rye: An assertive taste in flour and food. Extremely hardy. Has no hull, making it easy to harvest. Crafters find many uses for its long stems, or straw.
Wheat: Easily managed in gardens, and a recipe essential for everything from pastas to cakes.
Amaranth: A tall, broadleaf plant that forms feathery plumes. The leaves can be cooked and eaten like spinach, while the grains have a peppery taste and are rich in protein and other nutrients.
Grains, like most other grasses, are simple to grow.
"They're more adapted to dry land conditions. You don't have to irrigate as much," said Bob Van Veldhuizen, a research techni�cian with the University of Alaska Fairbanks School of Natural Resources and Agricul�tural Sciences. "They also don't require as many nutrients as things like tomatoes."
Van Veldhuizen has worked primarily on hull-less varieties. "They're of more interest to hobby gardeners," he said. "You don't need a home threshing machine."
Most grains are very hardy, thriving in USDA Zones 3 to 8 and beyond, said Dan Jason, a seedsman from Salt Spring Island, British Columbia.
"They're fast growing — 90 to 100 days to maturity," Jason said. "They're not killed by frosts. You can sew some grains in Septem�ber and harvest them in June, freeing the garden for another crop."

Does the Push for Mass Vaccination Point Toward a Staged Bioterror Event?
We've seen the signs. I've been highlighting them. The infamous childhood mandatory vaccination law in California. Other states that are considering similar bills.
The lunatic push in Australia to outlaw medical exemptions from vaccination. The all-out campaign in the press, in various countries, to stigmatize people who defect from official "truth" about the safety and efficacy of vaccines.
On a larger stage, over the past 20 years, we've seen the promotion of fake "pandemics" demanding universal vaccination to ward off "millions of deaths": SARS, West Nile, Swine Flu, smallpox, etc. All duds.
Now we have the boggling case of the University of Massachusetts, where two supposed instances of meningitis have triggered an immediate campaign (

There are no 100% true facts; there's always an alternative possibility. There's a factor of uncertainty that comes with all knowledge, even if it's a very small component, and it's that possibility that keeps scientists forever questioning an exploring. Instead of knowing something to be true, scientists and experts often refer to a very high level of probability. Uncertainty means that there is always a propensity to continue exploring, researching, experimenting and expanding our knowledge. We can learn a lot from these analytical principles, and apply it to our own lives. Just as social norms have grown past old "scientifically proven" facts –the world is flat, or the sun revolves around the earth – other social norms will in time, also be disproven. It's not easy to differ in opinion from what's common thought, but it's important to continue to question the norm. It's also very important to question what we are told if it doesn't seem right to us, even if the so-called facts come from an authoritative figure. We need to challenge the status quo to progress, and sometimes to protect what's important to us. Common thought often supports powerful groups with self-serving interests, cloaked as best for everyone. Dig deeper to find the probability level and trueness of so-called facts and explore alternative possibilities.
Take action: Don't believe everything you hear, question the motives of the source of the information, and find out if there's another point of view. Think for yourself, make your own decisions, and be like a child, continually asking, "Why?".

New Report Indicates that Tourism Sector Workers Cannot Afford Rents
The National Housing Conference's Center for Housing Policy (CHP) released the 2013 edition of Paycheck to Paycheck, examining data on housing affordability, with a focus on workers in the tourism sector. The report uses data from the first quarter of 2013 across 207 metropolitan areas, and focuses on five occupations chosen by CHP to represent jobs in the tourism sector: housekeepers, wait staff, auto mechanics, hotel front desk managers, and flight attendants. According to the study, housing affordability challenges are particularly severe for tourism industry workers living in vacation destinations.
Workers in two occupations (housekeepers and wait staff) cannot afford the rent on an apartment in any of metro areas examined by the study. Only workers in one occupation, flight attendants, can typically afford two-bedroom Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in all of the metro areas studied. However, flight attendants cannot afford to buy a typical home in 25 of the most expensive metro areas.
In many metro areas, housekeepers and wait staff face a severe housing cost burden, paying at least 50% of their income towards rent. Researchers found that housekeepers across 78 metro areas pay at least half their income towards rent on a two-bedroom apartment. Similarly, wait staff across 68 metro areas must pay at least half of their income towards rent.
The report also assessed the changes in housing affordability for workers in the travel industry between the first quarter of 2012 and the first quarter of 2013, using data on median home prices. Twelve metro areas became more affordable for auto mechanics since 2012, and 11 metro areas became more affordable for front desk workers. The metro areas with increasing affordability were located in areas with lower housing costs, including Allentown (PA), Albany (NY), and metro areas in Ohio and Michigan. Yet, housing affordability decreased across the vast majority of metro areas, including Phoenix (AZ), Houston (TX), and Reno (NV).

I had the perception that everything was difficult, and of course that belief manifested in a very difficult life. From childhood that's all I heard and saw "Life was hard" One day I contemplated the notion "what if things were easy?" After a few months of "self brain washing" my perception of life started to amazingly change.
In my
experience the first thing I had to do to move away from a Self-created
Difficult World into a Self-created Easy World was to move away from
EXPECTATIONS. I didn't realize that I was so hard on myself and that
somehow a false sense of perfection was ruling my life.
I learned to move away from EXPECTING
Perfection into ACCEPTING Perfection. I learned that every single moment
is perfect as it is. In this moment I'm as perfect as I can be. This
change of thought brought me great peace and I could see the world
through different eyes.
ACCEPTING means to let everything flow
without judgment. I learned that there is no good or bad feelings. I learned the language of my emotions which can not be understood by the
mind but only by the heart. I learned that my feelings are not who I am
but what I feel. I learned not to identify with my career or behavior as
they are just things I do. I let my thoughts to be free as there was no
need to hold on to them any more. Somehow I started a journey of
awareness into meeting the REAL I…
When the REAL I was allowed to be, I realized that life was quite easy in fact.

Help One Now Legacy Project
Pastor Gaetan took in 14 orphans before the earthquake in Haiti. He and his wife knew it was the right thing to do. After 2010's devastating earthquake took the lives of so many, including his brother and many members of his church, Pastor Gaetan found himself with 16 more orphans in his care. Since then, Help One Now has been able to help him build safe buildings to house the children and his family, and he has built a tent school that serves his 30 orphans as well as 120 vulnerable children from the surrounding community.
The Help One Now Haiti Blogger team is coming together to raise funding to build a permanent structure in place of the tents to offer more safety, security, and protection from the brutal Haitian sun.
Help One Now and Pure Charity are working together to build a school at Yaveh Shamma, an orphanage in Petionville, Haiti, to help the 30 orphans and 120 vulnerable children that now attend a tent school.
Here's how you can help:
- Learn more at Help One Now Legacy Project (we are on funding Phase 2 of 7)
- Donate to the project via Pure Charity.
- Use the power of your consumer spending to generate more funding for the projects.
- Use your voice to share this incredible project & follow along (you'll get real-time updates once you back the project on Pure Charity).

Alan Rusbridger's £80 million gamble on changing The Guardian to Berliner format paid off this week as he picked up the top prize — newspaper of the year — at the British Press Awards.
And he told Press Gazette that he believes the twin successes of The Guardian in print and online will safeguard it for at least a decade.
Rusbridger said: "We took the biggest gamble this year and the biggest risk… so in a sense it's the richest reward and I'm thrilled to have it."
Referring to the decision to switch The Guardian to the untested Berliner format last September, he said: "The great thing the British press has is its variety. When we were thinking about what we should do in shape and form and tone it seemed to us that we ought to offer the public variety — it would have been easy to go tabloid."
The Guardian's post-Berliner circulation gains have yet to wipe out the losses it suffered two years ago when The Times and The Independent brought out tabloid versions. Responding to that, Rusbridger said: "We have 14 million people a month who come to us free of charge through the website. If you asked any editor to maintain print circulation at the same time as giving away a fantastic free offering it would be unrealistic.
"The fact that we are so strong in print and online is going to stand us in good stead for the future.
"We've been through the difficult decision to buy new presses and go to full colour that others have got to make, so we are set for the next 10 years."
After last year's allegations of rowdiness, and a controversial on-stage speech from Bob Geldof, this year's Press Gazette-organised awards passed without incident.
Last year The Sun and the News of the World picked up most of the top prizes, with eight trophies in all — but this year there was a more even spread between the tabloids and the up-market papers.
The Sunday Times picked up four prizes and The Mirror, The Sun and The Observer each took home three.
For the second year running a showbiz story won scoop of the year — last year it was the News of the World revealing footballer David Beckham's alleged adultery and this year it was the Mirror's Kate Moss cocaine revelations.
Reporter Stephen Moyes firmly rejected suggestions that because it was a celeb story, it was just an easy buy-up.
He said: "It was about seven months of getting alongside the right people and building up trust, a lot of near misses and a lot of wasted all-night parties.
"But the pay-off was such that it was worth telling the news desk for seven months, 'I'm working on this.'"

Our Press: Chicago Launch in NW Indiana News
Blog informs about home decor ideas
CHICAGO: Chicago site joins others in New York, San Francisco, Los Angeles
Medill News Service
CHICAGO | Chicagoans now have the same localized resource for cheap, hip home decorating ideas that residents of New York City and Los Angeles have had for years.
Apartment Therapy Chicago, a blog of home interior ideas and tips, was launched in April. It's the third member of a family of Web sites revolving around the philosophy that a flat that's under the weather puts its occupant in the same mood.
The site, //chicago.apartmenttherapy.com, probably won't elevate the entire city's spirits, but it could reveal some of Chicago's best kept design secrets.
"In New York it seems like shops and products and design-type things are everywhere," said Heather Blaha, one of the site's editors. "If you're out walking around Chicago you have to look for them a little bit more."
Blaha, 29, said she's been encouraged to take inspiration from her own living space and that the search for good content is continuous.
"I talk to a lot of friends. I look at a lot of magazines. I wander around the city a lot," she said.
Other recent posts have included a list of recommended IKEA bathroom accessories priced under $10 and a list of furniture Blaha found for sale on Craig's List.
She said the site will focus on furnishings and retail stores and eventually branch out into services and artists as the blog's following builds.
Maxwell Gillingham-Ryan, cofounder of Apartment Therapy, launched the New York blog in 2004, followed by Los Angeles last year. A trained interior designer, he continues to work with clients in tandem to managing the collection of blogs. He still edits the New York site.
"Everything I do for clients goes into the blog and vice verse," he said. He called blogging "a glorified side job," which he does with the help of his wife, brother, and a small support staff.
"Our goal was that we wouldn't get rich, but that (the blog) would pay for itself and pay us for what we do," Gillingham-Ryan said.

11-11-11, Starting a New Blog
It's time for a new chapter in my blogging life. Most of you know me from Real Blogging Tips, or RBT, where I shared a number of my more advanced blogging strategies on making money with a blog– strategies that have helped me to earn millions of dollars blogging. Most of these posts were in direct response to questions and inquiries from friends and entrepreneurs wanting to know specifics on how to blog. Well, those questions are growing- my inbox is full of thousands of "Please help me learn how to blog!" emails from friends and strangers and I have realized it's time to share more of what I have learned about blogging- not just on making money with a blog but also on blogger leadership, blogging ethics and etiquette, gratitude blogging (I'm inventing this one) and so much more from my own perspectives on blogging. Blogging isn't just about writing for money- it's a lifestyle… and it's a great one!
So, here we go- I'm letting go of Real Blogging Tips and starting Blog Brilliant.
If you are looking for my blogging course, you can find that at BrilliantEtc.com along with some great upcoming resources for the online entrepreneur.
Happy blogging!

It is important to keep your home warm during winter. One of the best ways to heat your home is wood stoves. However, they are pretty expensive, so if you are short on budget you should consider choosing one of the cheap wood stoves.
The conventional wood-burning stove is the classic way to heat individual rooms or whole floors with wood. Firewood creates a fire that convinces and fascinates with its originality, the sounds and the special kind of warmth. If there is a chimney connection, a wood stove can be installed in every room, in the cellar, in the garden or in workshops. It must be paid attention to a side and rear distance of 50 centimeters to combustible parts. The wood stoves are connected with a pipe to the chimney connection. If a flammable floor covering is laid in the room, a glass plate should be used as a floor space.
Heating capacity and material
Mostly, cheap wood stoves comply with the control of the EPA and are accepted by the chimney sweep without any further technical precautions. You can choose between a wood stove with and without sheathing. In both variants, the combustion chamber, which is lined with heat-storing firebrick, is located behind a fireproof glass door. This gives you a fantastic view of the roaring fire.
Coverings made of soapstone, natural stone or tiles store the heat, so that the stove also warms when the fire is extinguished. Sheathed wood stoves are therefore more energy efficient. When choosing the model, it is important to consider the room size. The heating power must be adjusted to the heat demand of the room. The rule of thumb is that you can heat ten square meters with one to two kilowatts. For poorly insulated old buildings, a higher heating capacity must be taken into account. The nominal capacity of the stoves is specified by the manufacturer. A stove covered with heavy soapstone can reach a rated output of up to 14 kilowatts.
Fuel for the cheap wood stove
In addition to the maintenance costs, a wood burning stoves costs firewood. Here, the price range is very broad and depends on the type of wood and the degree of processing. If you grab the ax yourself and chop the logs, you can save a lot of money. But you can also get ready shredded firewood delivered. Many wood stoves are now also equipped for continuous use and can therefore heat continuously for 24 hours. However, wood has to be refilled again and again. The constant necessity to keep the fire up is for many people also the biggest disadvantage of a wood stove.
Furthermore, it should be noted that the wood stove heats a room quickly to more than 25 degrees, which is sometimes perceived as unpleasant. For this reason, you should not choose a wood stove with a nominal power over nine kilowatts. The rooms are overheated quickly and you have to constantly throttle the stove, which leads to excessive soot formation.

I've been thinking about positivity a lot lately, how it functions in my own life, and how it plays a part in human history. I'd like to share some of my observations, not because I think I'm an expert, but because it might give you something to consider.
Let's start with a fact you might not know: Being positive helps you live longer. There have been quite a few studies that show this, and logically, it makes sense. Less mental stress = less emotional stress = less physical stress. Reality will remain the same regardless of what you believe, but what you see depends on what you look for. See the positive, and it will jump out at you. See the negative, and that's your existence.
Being positive helps those around us: friends, family, co-works, even strangers. We all know it feels better when someone lets us change lanes during heavy traffic, when someone smiles, when someone listens to our problems and tells us it's going to be OK. When other people are positive, it makes you feel good!
And the reverse is true: Negativity hurts, both ourselves, and others. (But you already knew that.) Go on Facebook and read the comments under any news article (actually, don't do it, for the sake of your mental health). It doesn't take long for any meaningful conversation to devolve into anger, hatred, and name calling. The same thing happens in real life, albeit to much less of an extreme. We stereotype, get angry at people for minor things, and justify our negativity because we're obviously right. We hurt others, and think it's OK, because they (or somebody like them) hurt us.
Why do we embrace this kind of negative mindset? Look at the 2016 US Presidential election (or any political race for that matter). It's easier for candidates to run smear campaigns, rather than demonstrate their own merits. We often (but not always), tend to look for things that confirm what we already believe, rather than objectively looking at the facts. And this type of thought process seems to be how most human systems work. It's how we decide what to believe, what to buy, who to trust.
I think this demonstrates a key insight into humanity: We tend to look for the negative. Perhaps that conferred an evolutionary advantage to our ancestors, or maybe it's more of a modern culture thing. My guess is that it's probably a little bit of both. Think about this: When you look at reviews, do you automatically read the 5 star review or the 1 star? Which one seems more credible? Which one do you tend to believe?
I'm not saying being positive is easy, but it is a choice. Honestly, in my own life, I find it hard sometimes. It's a fight, but a worthwhile one. Positivity is not operated by a switch, without effort, most of us seem to default to negative, hurtful behavior.
We all exist somewhere along the Positive-Negative Scale. It's not one or the other; it's a mixture of both. Assess where you're at, and take action. Lately, I've been towards the dark end, and I haven't enjoyed how I've felt. The world seems shittier, people meaner, and life more work than joy. Rather than continue this, I've made a conscious decision to push myself back to where I want to be.
The first step towards becoming a positive person is taking responsibility for your mental self-talk and attitudes. You have to accept you have a choice, and steer your thoughts in a positive direction. No one but you can do this. At first, all you might be capable of is just letting negative thoughts go. If you don't dwell on them, they will pass. This won't be easy, but you can do it! In time, your perspective will begin to shift, and a positive mental state will start to develop.
I believe in a collective human consciousness of sorts, not in the meta-physical sense, but that we, as individuals, have a small impact on our species as a whole. It's like how cells add up to make a body. When one of us is a negative, hurtful person, the impact is felt in rings radiating from that individual's life journey. The opposite is true: Be positive, helpful, kind, and loving, and those around you (and in turn, those around them) will be lifted up.
When I'm working on the Dawn Saga, I tend to notice these ripple-effect interactions between my characters. I think it's made me more sensitive to them in real life. When the Breakers kill, or the protagonists help, those effects propagate and impact humans and Entho-la-ah-mines alike. We are all connected by a web of existence, although sometimes the strands are too small to see.
I've simplified this subject greatly, I know. Sometimes anger and other "negative" emotions are the correct response to a situation, but they must be used sparingly and only when required. They are powerful, dangerous tools. There is also a point of sickly sweet positivity where you lose all pragmatism. This too is dangerous. If we cultivate a healthy, positive default state, though, we can make both our own and others' lives a much better place.
Remember: You have an impact on the world. You have a say in its direction. Think about how your actions impact yourself and those around you. Strive to be positive, but when you fail, forgive yourself and keep trying. It's not easy, but you have the support of all the positive minded people around you!

A click. Loud, and insistent. My eyes snap open from sleep. My mouth is dry and caked, the blood on my chest and back cracks as I move. I look to my left, trying to ascertain if I had imagined it, that loud sound in this tiny dark space. The space is dark now, my laptop must have gone to sleep. But my finger stays where it is, despite the temptation to swipe the trackpad. I know I can hear better in the dark. The darkness grows longer, the silence deeper, until my entire being throbs with the energy of waiting.
And as though something knows I am waiting and doesn't want to disappoint, it comes again. Loud and metallic, striking through the silence. I jump. My leg shoots fireworks of blinding pain at my hip again and I yelp in surprise. It takes a full thirty seconds before the pain subsides and I am able to unfurl my knotted fingers. By then it has clicked again, methodical and perfectly timed. What is it? I listen for a few more minutes, and the click comes seven times.
I can hear sounds from what seems like far below me. Rescue crew? People removing mangled bodies, both alive and dead? I wonder idly how long it will take them to reach me. Wellington is a big city. It could be days. I'll be dead by then. It both frightens and comforts me how calmly I accept this. I feel tiny, insignificant, one tiny pod of being in a world of billions of others. What do I matter, really?
Where will they start? How many high-rises are there in the CBD? The quake hit mid-morning, so every one would have been full of office workers, men in ties, water cooler chat and women who had kicked their heels off under their desks. Will they start at the bottom of the building, or the top? I think of the seven floors below me and the people crushed there. Panic begins to rise in my throat like hysteria. I squeeze my eyes closed and count, a technique my father taught me. I get to three hundred and six before I open them again.
The blood on my head has dried and cracked, the clotting mechanism finally kicking in. I swipe at the laptop and my tiny chamber fills with white light. I squint at the screen, trying to understand. The WiFi isn't working. I hadn't really expected it to, but I feel a pang of despair that one connection to the world is severed, one tiny way to light a flare for others to find me. But sitting on that list of connections is my iPhone. I can't see it, and I can't move to find it, but it sits there on the list, an available network for me to join. I click on it, my breath slowing until it stops completely.
It works, and the bars fill with black. The relief that floods my body is almost physical, as though I can feel and recognise the serotonin mixing with the cortisol in my blood stream. Somewhere near me, whether below my bed or digging into my hip, is the most breakable phone in the world, which just might manage to save my life.

Holiday Werewolf Gift Guide, Part 2: for the werewolf (fan) who has everything
A. Quinton — Dec. 8th 2014
In part one of the 2014 Holiday Werewolf Gift Guide I picked five items from my own collection as gift ideas, but what do you get the werewolf fan who already has everything? Something they actually don't have, because they haven't seen this list of five werewolf gifts that tell their recipient "I get you," and also "I like you enough to not just buy the first thing that came up when I searched Amazon for 'werewolf'".
Art makes a wonderful gift, especially when it's created with the recipient in mind. The posable art dolls made by the donut-loving space pirates at Worms and Bones are gorgeous and every one is "a custom"– you get to specify the paint and fur colours, and you could even ruin yours with a regular wolf head if you're afraid of things like exposed teeth and furrowed brows. Each one stands over a foot and a half tall, with cast resin hands, feet and head. As of this post they're closed to new orders, but once the holidays are over I'm sure they'll open up again. Worth waiting for!
If you can't wait for Worms and Bones, or you like your werewolf statues to double as potential bludgeons, check out Design Toscano's "Howl of the Werewolf". All-resin werewolf sculpts generally fall into a category I've just decided to call "faux-Gothic cheese", but this one looks like it'd rather play around in your blood than read you poetry. Snarly enough to satisfy the monster fan but understated enough to put on your desk at work without worrying HR.
You can never have (or use) too much soap, and a comfortable majority of folks feel the same way about caffeine. Check the "I am clean" and "I am vibrating" boxes at the same time with this silvery soap bar from Con*Tact. I gained enough soap knowledge while working for LUSH to be a little concerned about the wide variety of scents in this bar, particularly the leather and musk, but in theory it should work… and in practice it gets great reviews.
You can also never have too many pairs of underpants, especially ones with a furious cartoon werewolf on them. These cute undies came out of a massively successful Kickstarter, and now they're available for anyone to buy. They're boy brief style, with a design that "high-fives you for having ovaries and serves as a friendly reminder to others", and I guarantee you you know a lady who deserves a high-five and a gift (hint: all ladies do).
Let's skip the clever little write-up: I want one of these right now. Right now. I'm getting to the age where my Christmas list is a short inventory of boring, practical luxuries like "a nice wallet" and "a wireless scale", but right up at the top of this year's list I put this sweet-ass werewolf mask from The Horror Dome. Actually, I asked for the mask & hands combo, but as a werewolf fan who's currently without a wearable mask, I don't want extravagance to get in the way of being able to wolf out when needed– the mask alone would do!

Within the Precarity: Contingency in Artmaking and Academia exhibition, artists Vanessa Viruet and Julia Arredondo of Vice Versa Press open their Botanica Dinero storefront for business. At this one day pop-up shop, the artists sell their handmade goods, including candles, self-printed books, and imitation lotto tickets all centered around the idea of paying off their student loan debt through capitalistic creative approaches. The venture also creates a space in which the artist/vendors and customers can engage in conversations about the humorous ways people have struggled and survived living with student debt.

2012 Mazda 3: Imperceptible Shifts

My first impression of our long-term Mazda 3 is definitely positive; which is quite a departure from our old Mazdaspeed 3.
Our new Mazda 3 is smooth. The ride is well cushioned while still remaining communicative. But really, I was struck by how smooth the transmission shifts. They're CVT-smooth. When I'm leisurely rolling down the boulevard, the only indication that the gears are changing is by the drop of the tach needle. The same goes for downshifts.
So far, I'm impressed.

Refueling Team - Hopper TLUD
(aka SpongeBrian SquarePants)
This is an improved version of the Refueling Team's previous low fidelity hopper stove.
As you can see, the angle of the hopper has be adjusted to 45 Degrees to allow for better gravity feed. The square design was used to allow for easier fitting of the pieces together.
A cap was added to the end of the hopper to attempt to seal off the air. This would help prevent the wood- gases from being burnt down low in the fuel chamber.
Safety Team - Modified Quad
The design was previously seen in the lower fidelity prototyping phase. A sliding plate with a stopper made from 2 extra long screws was used as a fuel emptying mechanism. 26 ga sheet metal was used to provide strength, weight and stability to the design.
The four screws at the top are meant for a pot support structure that has yet to be created by the team. Once this is created the actual cooking mechanics can be assessed properly.

Watch Gaiman and Colbert face off over The Graveyard Book
As JK noted yesterday, Neil Gaiman appeared on The Colbert Report last night to answer Stephen Colbert's charges about Gaiman's children's book The Graveyard Book.
"Isn't there a danger here that our children will stop being frightened of graveyards?" Colbert asked in the interview. "Because without that how are we supposed to get them to eat their vegetables?"

- Smart Study Desk Unit 205cm is applied using state of the art UV printing technology. This type of finishing provides a beautiful, consistent and hard wearing finish but does not emit any harmful chemicals that can be dangerous to little lungs. This type of finishing is far superior to painted finishes and is a very important consideration for ensuring healthy growth of sensitive lungs and organs.
- The result of UV printing is a bold, vibrant and durable finish which is easy to clean and will not fade or deteriorate when household cleaning products are applied to it.
- The Smart Study Desk Unit 205cm is constructed using MDF. This material has been selected due to its low chemical emission properties. MDF also allows for a consistent white finish to be applied over the top, many other materials result in a "white wash" finish rather than the pure satin white finish you find on the Babios products.
- Babios also band all the corners and edges in 2mm PVC, making the unit play safe by softening any sharp edges.

Albuquerque Renters Insurance Company
Many people who rent property are under the false assumption that if anything happens to the building in which they reside, their landlord's insurance will cover the damages. While a landlord's insurance will cover damages to the building, it does not typically cover damages to your personal property.
If you should be the victim of a fire, theft or natural disaster, a Farmers renters insurance policy can help you recover from your loss; we'll even cover the expense of not being able to live in your home (i.e., hotel expenses, meals).
Make Sure You Have the Coverage You Need
Not all renters insurance policies are alike. To make sure you have the coverage you need in the event that your personal property is lost or damaged, it is important to carefully assess your assets, living situation and budget. Whether you need home renters insurance or mobile home renters insurance, we can provide you with an insurance policy tailored to your specific needs.
Contact our Experienced Renters Insurance Company
While insurance cannot keep tragedy from striking, it can give you the help you need when you need it. We provide you with access to the very best customer service; we will be with you from the very beginning of a claim until everything is finalized so that your needs are met as efficiently as possible.

Stearns County League details
- July 5, 2014 - 6:17 PM
'day at the park'
Cold Spring's opponents for its "Day at the Park'' were three teams from the Stearns County League: Richmond, New Munich and Lake Henry.
The Stearns County League was first formed in 1934 with teams representing small farming communities. A few of the teams came and went through the years.
By 1959, it was an eight-team league with New Munich, Meire Grove, Greenwald, St. Martin, Richmond, Lake Henry, Roscoe and Farming. Two more dots on the map, Elrosa and Spring Hill, joined in 1983, and it has remained a 10-team league.
Richmond has become a bedroom community for St. Cloud and has a population of 1,425. Eight other league towns range in populations from 85 (Spring Hill) to 323 (New Munich). And Farming, which in days of yore would field teams made up largely of Schleper family members, is so small it's not officially a village; it's a township.
You want to know the uniqueness of town team baseball as it still exists in Minnesota? Spend a Sunday at a ballpark in the Stearns County League. In fact, you can drive about 10 minutes and see games in three ballparks.
In total, there are 29 town-ball teams in Stearns County. And here's the twist: The county population is 152,000, and St. Cloud has 66,000 of those … and only one of the 29 teams.

During the last year, I have somehow developed a love for baking. The day I woke up on a Saturday morning with the urge to hand craft some chocolate brownies was the day I left behind my young wild days and entered adulthood of a twenty something. I personally blame the Great British Bake Off, unashamedly one of my favorite things on TV!
I am now a dab hand at loaf cakes with Bara Brith, Lemon Cake, Banana Cake and Carrot Cake all going down well at work and with my housemates. I have also branched out into muffins, cakes and sponges (are your mouths watering yet?)
Anyway, back in November I received my monthly The MS Trust newsletter (something I subscribed to a few years ago) and within it they were encouraging people to organise and take part in The Great Christmas Cake Off in aid of the charity. Being a charity and condition that means so much to me, I was instantly keen to get involved! The next day in work the date was set and posters went up around the office!
I was also extremely lucky that I had so many baking volunteers at work. All in all 10 other happy bakers volunteered their skills and made multiple goodies for the sale. I also got busy in the kitchen and made my (shockingly) first ever Chocolate Cake! It was crazy easy to bake and, if I do say so myself, bloody tasty too. Have a look at the recipe below and give it a go!
Chocolate cake:
- 3 eggs
- 175g self-raising flour
- 175g caster sugar
- 175g softened butter
- 1½ level tea spoon baking powder
- 40g cocoa powder
- 4 table spoons of boiling water
- Raspberries
Chocolate ganache icing:
- 150ml extra double cream
- 150g plain chocolate (broken into pieces)
- 4 table spoon apricot jam
- 3 x boxes of milk chocolate fingers
- 1 x SHARE bag of maltesers (or 2 x regular bags)
Tools of the trade:
- 2 x 17cm (7 in) deep sandwich tins
- Non-stick baking paper
- String/ribbon
- Preheat the oven to 180C.
- Beat together the eggs, flour, caster sugar, butter and baking powder until smooth in a large mixing bowl.
- Put the cocoa in a separate mixing bowl, and add the water a little at a time to make a stiff paste. (This looks terrible at first, but go with it!) Add to the cake mixture.
- Prepare sandwich tins by greasing with butter and lining with the non-stick baking paper.
- Evenly distribute the mix into the tins, level the top and bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 mins.
- Leave to cool in the tin (or waft them with a oven tray for 5 minutes like me) then turn on to a wire rack to become completely cold before icing.
- To make the icing: measure the cream and chocolate into a bowl and carefully melt over a pan of hot water over a low heat. Stir until melted, then set aside to cool a little and to thicken up.
- To ice the cake: spread the apricot jam on the top of each cake. Spread a small amount of the ganache icing on the top of the jam on one of the cakes, then add the raspberries in a circular pattern on top. Carefully lay the other cake on top, sandwiching them together.
- Use the remaining ganache icing to ice the top and sides of the cake (however leave a little in the bowl for step 10).
- To decorate, start with the chocolate fingers. Moving around the cake, adding the left over ganache like a glue to stick them one. Once done, secure with ribbon and string. Move onto adding the maltesers again in a circular pattern starting from the outside and moving inwards.
- Pop it in the fridge overnight (or for a few hours) and voila!
I'm very happy to say the bake sale raised £226.41 to for The MS Trust all from a from a few cakes and a cheeky raffle. Handy hint for bakes sales, rather than pricing your cakes, ask for a donation! People are far more generous that way and helps make a few extra pennies.

We think this USC nude photo scandal is being, er, overblown.
It appears as if these naked young people, including a Kappa Signma brother, on the roof of USC's Waite Phillips Hall, are misunderstood. They weren't having sex. We think they were actually having a lover's quarrel. You have to look closely at the photos to figure it out.
Here's our not-so-safe-for-work, um, blow-for-blow analysis of what was really happening between these two last weekend:
Her: "I get on my hands and knees for you. I give, and then I give some more. For what?"
Him: "What are you talking about? I get behind you whenever I can. I'm 100 percent behind you right now."
Him: "Newsflash, babe: If you don't stop spreading these rumors about me and my lack of support for you, I'm going to just walk away.
If you like this story, consider signing up for our email newsletters.
You have successfully signed up for your selected newsletter(s) - please keep an eye on your mailbox, we're movin' in!
Her: "I just feel like, when you're not supporting me, you're just, smothering me, drilling me over stuff."
Him: "Oh baby, let's not quarrel. You make me feel like I'm the king of the world!"

ALMA is a London-based ambient group formed in 2014, fronted by songwriter Pete Lambrou. 'The Lighthouse' (Tom Hodge Rebuild) is their new digital single, released on November 25th to coincide with a European tour and their biggest headline show so far at the Lexington on Halloween – full dates below. Not only that but ALMA will be reissuing their 'ALMA' mini-album – originally released last summer - on limited edition vinyl on November 4th, and they kicked off this thoroughly phased phase with an acclaimed appearance at the recent ArcTanGent Festival in Bristol.
ALMA takes its name from the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array – "a really bloody powerful telescope", which is fitting as their music has been described as feeling like "it would sit at home as the background music to an ambient explosion in space." That music has already been hoovering up comparisons to fellow fragrant explorers Sigur Ros, Patrick Watson and Explosions In The Sky, which is perhaps unsurprising when one considers that as mainstay of Codes In The Clouds and Monsters Build Mean Robots Lambrou's gently cosmic post-rock provenance is impeccable. Joined by fellow Code In The Clouder Ciaran Morahan, ALMA deploy a loop station, multiple delay pedals, a piano and strings to create a slowmoving, high-flying soundscape of luscious gravitas.
