Although early beta releases of iOS 9 featured relatively little new eye candy for potential upgraders, today's release of iOS 9 beta 5 includes a welcome surprise: a large collection of colorful new wallpapers. The images range from colorful desert dunes to several different colors of feathers, plants, planets, and multi-colored explosions. They're all packed with detail, showing off the photorealistic rendering abilities and vivid color palettes of Retina displays. Many (but not all) of iOS 8's wallpaper images have been removed from the collection, and the blue/green tidal wave image originally included with iOS 9 betas has disappeared.
A gallery with some of the new wallpapers is below… expand full story

For the last month, I've been using Apple's new 12-inch Retina MacBook almost exclusively. There's no denying that's it's underpowered when compared to other models on the market, but is its portability worth the performance sacrifice? Can you really get anything done with a relatively small display, an Intel Core M processor, and more importantly, zero traditional USB ports?
This won't be an in-depth review of features and performance (check out Zac's take on the MacBook for an in-depth look), but instead, I've mainly focused on my personal experiences over the month I've been using it. Does the Retina MacBook live up to the hype? Let's go ahead and find out…
Retina Display Stories April 22, 2015
Apple has started to charge the credit cards of customers who ordered the highest-end 1.3GHz version of the 12-inch MacBook, according to emails from 9to5Mac readers. The customized, built-to-order MacBook went on sale earlier this month with 3-4 week shipping times for even the earliest orders, and Apple originally promised a delivery timeframe of May 8th to May 15th. As we saw with Apple Watch credit card charges earlier this week, it seems plausible that Apple already charging customers for the 1.3 GHz MacBook could indicate that shipments of the new laptop will begin occurring sooner than originally expected. However, readers have yet to report any signs of UPS or FedEx tracking numbers, or their Apple Online Store status pages moving from "Processing" to "Preparing for Shipment."
Update: Several readers reporting that their MacBooks are now preparing to ship, several weeks early:

When all is said and done, the doom that came to Leafington was one of our own making. Knowing full well that it is a fate we cannot escape, we are ready to accept our lot, as we were so ready to surrender our souls to Mr. Orrpus Mendel on that day so long ago. Mr. Mendel was indeed responsible for our town's good fortune, but our co-operation with his scheme has brought a great evil upon our kind. Do not trust its outward appearance, the green arbors, the miasma of colour, Leafington is lost. And, like any plant with seeds that blow on the wind, it has already spread its doom to every other town it has traded with. Every boot that has set foot onto Leafington has picked up the seeds in its treads and spread them further across the world. I can only hope that this warning will travel just as fast and reach the outside world in time.
You see, Mr. Mendel is a devil. A devil with a face like an angel, with twinkling blue eyes like a summer's day sky, a smile as warm and open as a hearth fire, a face so ageless and fascinating, so filled with life and expression, that it is impossible to look away once he has you fixed in his gaze. The beauty is a fey glamour to draw you in. You must never look into his eyes or he already owns your soul. Do not shake his hand, or you are already lost to the world of the living. His vines will snare you and you will be dragged down into the dark insanity that he will eventually spread to the rest of the world.
Mr. Orrpus Mendel had always been a mysterious figure, so much so that most people still don't even know his first name. All we knew, all we cared about, was that Leafington desperately needed a savior, as it had been hit badly by the incessant warring of the period, and this charming, confident man had appeared as if an angel sent down to answer our nightly prayers. This was back when Mad General Diggory's armies rolled across the entire continent, hell-bent on world domination. Leafington was not known for its gardening back then, in the way that it unfortunately is now, or indeed for anything else. Named after Prince Leaf of Leonster, it was merely a coincidence that it was also a village of green and plenty. The soil was fertile, the crops were bountiful and it was unfortunately situated directly in-between General Diggory and the nation he happened to want to own at that precise moment. There was no choice for us but to surrender. The Mad General was true to his word in defending the village from bandits, stopping the raid the instant we surrendered without a single drop of blood being shed, never allowing his soldiers to loot or to harass the populace. He also demanded almost the entire harvest as tribute to aid the grand war effort, leaving the people so poor that he may as well have overtly stole from them. At around the time that Mr. Mendel came upon the scene, Diggory had moved on, abandoning the village that no longer had the money to support itself, so drained of its economy that it could not build itself back up by farming, not when it had no other industry.
Mr. Mendel was a master gardener, he said, and he had been looking for a village such as Leafington for his entire life, a place with the perfect conditions to grow the new breeds of flowers that he had been carefully developing. These flowers would not grow anywhere else – it was to do with the type of soil, and the source of the water in the river, and the way the leylines intersected where the village was built, so that the power of the Earth magnified and welled up at this spot. Once they began to grow, buyers from every corner of the world would flock here, and the village's future would be secured. One day, he promised, Leafington would be great, and the whole world would hear of the little village that had grown overnight into a gardener's paradise and a major trade hub. He only needed a few days' time, and a place where he could live and grow his plants in peace and quiet. After the first week, he would begin to accept apprentices for training in the ways of the master gardener. He would only select those who showed the greatest potential, although if selected, he could unlock their true potential in ways that no other gardener could. Gardening was not just a profession, or even an art form, he explained with the same bright-eyed reverence as any priest, but a type of magic, a commune with the forces of life and the planet itself.
Nobody bothered to ask where he had been growing the plants beforehand, and why he suddenly chose to move. Nobody even suspected a thing when the apprentices began disappearing for longer and longer intervals, failing to emerge from the garden for weeks on end, often bringing more 'guests' of the young people in the town in the middle of the night, or when the varieties of plant he claimed he was able to grow became more and more surreal and terrifying. When he proceeded to actually present the people with the plants in question, they didn't question his explanations, usually a combination of mysticism and tales of far-off lands. Once the money began to come in, thousands of Guilders for each plant, nobody questioned him at all.
It was with the growth of the first 'phantom plant' that Leafington's fortune truly changed. They were truly magical plants, miracles of botanical engineering, such that it became eerie to think that they were even possible. Some of them produced their own light within seed sacs, like natural lanterns, others grew fruit with the exact appearance, texture and taste of cakes, or silvery bell-shaped seeds that produced the most beautiful music when they shook in the wind, or razor sharp petals that grew in exactly the right shape to be plucked off and used as blades to defend Leafington's borders. True to his word, Mr Mendel had brought wealth and fame to the land. Foreign dignitaries flocked to gaze upon the beautiful village with its unique flora, and often bought several of them for tens of thousands of Guilders each. Mad General Diggory himself, now Mad Emperor Diggory, personally ordered his entire palace lined with Sparklestar bush, which were to be the only illumination permitted. Shortly after, he passed a law that harming even a single leaf or petal of a Sparklestar bush was punishable by beheading. By this time, the village had grown into a fairly large town, although Emperor Diggory forbade its further growth, in order to keep its condition pristine, stating that the plants would not like the dirty, noisy conditions of the big cities. Leafington was declared under his personal protection. Despite their earlier bad experiences of relying on the madman, the people of Leafington were a little worried he would have a fit and burn the place down on a whim, so they agreed. After that, peace and tranquility reigned in the town of flowers.
By this time, the entire first batch of apprentices had grown up, became master gardeners and had children of their own, who were in turn trained in the Mendel method of gardening. There were virtually no non-gardeners left in Leafington apart from the bare minimum, increasingly imported, needed to keep the town maintained and its people fed on something other than edible flowers. The walled gardens themselves, awash with a riot of colour, sparkling wisps of lights and, increasingly, strange growling noises, now took up most of the town like a second palace, and were heavily guarded. Most days, the gardeners were hardly ever seen to enter or leave. Only certain types of trade, mostly garden related, was allowed into the inner sanctum of Leafington. Gradually, almost imperceptibly, Leafington began to close off from the outside world altogether.
And still, nobody asked questions. Nobody asked what the growling noises were, or the strange elongated shadows that flickered in the night, or what exactly happened to you in Leafington if you happened not to be a particularly good gardener.
It had been one of the apprentice gardeners, drunk on the beer that Leafington brewed from a mixture of its edible plants, who first saw the lights in the sky. They had been out at night, well after Mr. Mendel's strictly enforced curfew, as part of a prank that involved putting a Sunset Snapper on one of the senior gardener's patio chair so it would bite him in an unfortunate place. At first they assumed it was the strong and mildly hallucinogenic drink that was causing them to see the disc-shaped lights steadily growing larger and closer. UFO sightings were common all around the Plaza continent, and were usually attributed to hallucinogenic drugs. They hid underneath a gazebo and watched the lights manifest into small cylindrical metal shapes that landed silently in the central clearing. A hatch opened in the nearest one and a terrifying shape descended the steps leading from it. A gold-plated skeleton with a leering painted skull walked towards the door of Mr. Mendel's office. The man greeted the monster as though they had known each other all their lives, and they began whispering. Curiosity overcame terror, and the apprentices sneaked forward to listen more closely.
"... reached critical mass. The biotechnology has been fully developed and has already been deployed to every key region of the planet. We're almost ready to move to the second stage," promised Mr. Mendel, beaming that cheerful, unassuming smile of his.
"What about the humans?"
"I have them firmly under my control. They will soon be programmed into perfect units in my terraforming machine. The failures have been... given to the machine as samples, so that the plants are keyed precisely to the human genome. The correctly conditioned humans will not be in a position to object when I move them off planet. I can promise you that this world will be made perfect for your purposes," he said, "You'll make a lot of money. It won't matter to you what I plan to do afterwards. Repeat the process on another planet, for another buyer, I suppose."
"This is all well and good, but it's moving rather slowly."
"Patience, Mr. Goldbone, good craftsmanship takes time. With the rate that plants normally grow on this planet, you're lucky I've managed to make this much progress," the smile did not vanish, even when he was annoyed. The only time he really looked disappointed, it was when nobody wanted to come and visit him in his garden, or when visitors hadn't brought guests. It wasn't a matter of fear, you couldn't refuse Mr. Mendel of anything. The look on his face was heartbreaking, like upsetting a puppy. Neither of the apprentices could match Mr. Mendel's face with the kind of person who would sell out an entire planet to invading aliens, who would manipulate an entire world, and who would feed those who failed him into some kind of nightmare machine. He didn't even gloat over his evil or mock those who he had exploited; he talked about it as if he was just negotiating another plant sale.
Suddenly, the skeleton whirled around, looking frantic. Mr. Mendel gave him a puzzled, mildly concerned look.
"My cloaking device has been down the whole time! Some idiot turned the power off again! If I find out they unplugged it to put the kettle on again, someone's going to have a fun and exciting trip out of the airlock!"
"You mean, we're compromised?" a hint of disappointment was finally showing through.
"Mr. Mendel, are you absolutely sure all your workers are asleep?"
"They should be, but I'll have guard plants sweep the perimeter," he said, then brightened up again.
The two apprentices heard growling and snapping teeth behind them. They ran, not looking behind them, then climbed the walls. One of them was bitten fiercely in the leg, and has never been able to walk on that leg since, while the other claims to have been shot with a strange ray. He seems okay, but sometimes he sleepwalks, and nobody can quite work out where it is he goes. When he returns, he wakes up screaming in a language that isn't from anywhere on the planet. On every other detail, their stories collaborate, and it all seems to fit together so well, now that we stop to think about it.
These days, there are more lights in the sky with each passing day. It's now impossible to get into Leafington unless you're one of the people who is drawn to the gardens, as if hypnotised, then just disappears. The flowers have spread over every continent and have cross-pollinated into the wild until they have overrun most other species. Appeals have been made to Emperor Diggory by concerned environmentalists who want Leafington shut down, but they are generally dismissed as paranoid sensationalists, and besides, it isn't clear what Diggory would actually do to stop the plants from spreading even if no more were grown in Leafington. They have grown up and moved from their nursery now, and they can survive on their own. Plants had already been the true dominant species on the planet, and now they were literally paving the way for an invasion by another sentient species.
Anyone else would have given up hope, but I can still remember the days when there were heroes among us, heroes who rose up to battle great evils. When Emperor Diggory was simply a troubled monarch of a border province, repeatedly abducted by Undead fiends in an attempt to sacrifice royal blood in the ultimate necromantic ritual, adventurers flocked to rescue him and slay the monsters. Now that the enemy is not a corruption and overabundance of death, but of life, I can only pray that it will be no different. And that the evil ultimately comes from the stars should not matter, for if there is evil and lawlessness beyond the stars, then there must be some good somewhere.

text: NEW YORK, July 23, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Reportlinker.com announces that a new market research report is available in its catalogue: Research and Development Trend of China Toy Industry, 2013 http://www.reportlinker.com/p01557293/Research-and-Development-Trend-of-China-Toy-Industry-2013.html#utm_source=prnewswire&utm_medium=pr&utm_campaign=Research_and_Development Research and Development Trend of China Toy Industry, 2013, firstly makes the comparison of the toy industry's development in China, USA and Japan, mainly revealing the differences in the three countries' toy industry's development and the shortcomings in China's toy industry; secondly, it makes the deep analysis of Chinese market's development in the toy industry, involving the toy industry's status quo, cooperation with cultural industries, existing difficulties, consumer composition, competitive pattern and other aspects; thirdly it makes the specific analysis of the industry cluster and export; finally, it makes the analysis of the major domestic and foreign enterprises of toy industry and makes the professional analysis of opportunities and challenges faced by the industry in the future, which can provide the decisive references for the investment in the toy industry. For 2012, it is a year full of challenges and opportunities for China's toy industry. On the one hand, the toy industry faces the pressure caused by the fluctuations of raw materials prices and exchange rate, the rising of labor cost and the continuous depressed overseas demand caused by the European and American debt crisis. On the other hand, it faces the huge development opportunities brought by the rapid rising of the foreign emerging markets and the continuous upgrading of the domestic consumption market. Taking the advantage of the raw materials and labor cost, China has become the world largest manufacturer and exporter of toys. In 2012, the export of China's toys slowed slightly, the export amount reaching 11.45 billion USD, up 5.8% compared with 2011. The export market of China's toys shows the characteristics of focusing on OEM (original equipment manufacturer), low proportion of high creative products, excessive concentration of export markets and the added-profit reduction of export cost. According to Huidian Research, the emerging consumption demand brought by the changes of lifestyle and consumption upgrading will promote the rapid development of related industries. Under such background, the toy industry has broad development prospects and especially, the progress of the urbanization construction and the plan to double the wages will inevitably spur the rapid development of the mass consumer goods and become the continuous motivation to promote the toy products to release the market demand, which will be the opportunity for the future development of China's toy industry.

Chasing the Light Magazine, Issue 34
Photography spanning the globe to inspire and inform
Welcome to November 2014's edition of Chasing the Light Online Magazine for our f11 Members.
This month we are running a bit of a New World theme…
For Behind the Lens, we join David and Wendy on the first part of their recent trip to California's Sequoia National Park in September, sharing the pain of roadblocks that prevent photographers reaching their location in time – there is also an accompanying Video Blog. In Stepping Back, David considers the best locations for shooting autumn colours, concluding that it was in Nova Scotia that he experienced the Best Autumn Colours Ever, Anywhere. For his Fundamentals of Post Production section he presents one Video Tutorial, along with an article on the Ten Commandments of Editing a Photo Shoot – a must-read for any photographer. And this month David pens an edition of The Bizz series: with the closing date for our 2015 Your Vision Competition looming, he contemplates the benefits and pitfalls of competitions generally.
To conclude the New World theme, our New York-based contributor James Maher explores the story behind his iconic shot of Bow Bridge in Central Park in How It's Done. In The Storyteller, Chris Weston considers the convergence of stills photography and video in the world of modern media, and how he has taken advantage of this to indulge his passion for storytelling. Ross Hoddinott brings a seasonal flavour to his Hangout series, revealing the photographic potential of fungi and providing plenty of practical advice on having a go at shooting these intriguing subjects yourself. And for our Guest Feature we travel to Japan to join photographer Benjamin Parks, as he introduces us to his fascinating portfolio of Tokyo street portraits.
To all our f11 Members, we hope you're enjoying our magazine but we need your pictures. If you fancy being featured in the Member's Gallery and entered into our annual photo competition, please send an email to [email protected] with three low-res jpegs and the story from behind the lens. We'll look forward to hearing from you.
Chasing the Light Magazine Editor
Behind the Lens - California Dreaming, Part One by David Noton
Would they let us in? Our last brush with US Immigration had been at the remote border post in the White Pass above Skagway, Alaska. It had been a confrontational altercation, to say the least. Maybe picking up a couple of Norwegian hitchhikers just before crossing an international border hadn't been such a wise move.
The Bizz - Competitions by David Noton
It was the spring of 1988, or maybe 89, I'm not sure. Wendy and I had been for a walk over the Wiltshire Downs incorporating the ancient stone circles at Avebury the week before and I'd made a mental note of the location. I left our home in Bristol in the wee small hours, arriving in the half-darkness before dawn in good time to set up and finalise my composition.
How It's Done - Bow Bridge, New York at Night by James Maher
A lot of people might be afraid of going deep into Central Park at night by themselves, but it is one of my favorite things to do. Night is one of the few times where you can be alone in some of the grandest areas of New York and feel like you own them. It's a tremendous feeling.
Fundamentals of Post-Production - 10 Commandments of Editing a Photo Shoot by David Noton
Concentrate only on the best images from a shoot; no one wants to see your second best. Processing multiple variants of the same shot is a pointless waste of time, just go for the gold! And the gold is often at the end, so why not?
Post-Production Video Tutorial by David Noton
This month I process a high contrast image from the California trip, with particular attention to using the Highlight Recovery Slider and Graduated Filters in Lightroom to both darken and lighten selective areas.
Hoddinott's Hangout - Fungi in Close-Up by Ross Hoddinott
I have a confession: I don't particularly like the taste of mushrooms. Not a major problem you might think, but when you are vegetarian, having a dislike for mushrooms can prove rather troublesome! I've lost count of the amount of times I've been to a restaurant, or a friend's house, when the only veggie option has been mushroom-based - not good.
The Storyteller - Photography in a Converging World by Chris Weston
Professional wildlife photography is changing. Talk to my main clients and they'll tell you that the still image in itself is no longer enough. Now the public demands more. A while ago, my image of an elephant crossing a tributary of the Zambezi River was published in Outdoor Photography.
Stepping Back - Autumn Reflections by David Noton
Autumn: possibly the best season for we landscape photographers. Low slanting light, conveniently short days and a countryside draped in robes of orange, gold and red make for an irresistible combination. Throw in ethereal mists under dramatic skies and we really are in heaven.
Guest Feature - Tokyo Faces by Benjamin Parks
I am based in Japan and for the last year I've been working on a series of street portraits of Tokyo people. Obviously most of these people are Japanese, but some of them are people from other countries who are either visiting Tokyo, or who have made Tokyo their home.
Member's Gallery - November 2014
Please take a look around our f-11 members gallery. Share your photographs with other members and receive David's feedback on your work.
f11 Your Vision 2015 Competition
We are thrilled to commemorate the Third Anniversary of our Chasing the Light Online Magazine by announcing the launch of David Noton's photographic competition for fully registered f11 Members, entitled Your Vision 2015.

A posting at Barry Ritholtz's The Big Picturetbvxwqvqdqrqdrafwyrvtdqcrzqtbbcdf blog this morning is of a Federal Reserve "Report on the Economic Well-Being of U.S. Households in 2015," and it has a few telling data points on housing.
One is this: Among the two-thirds of homeowners with a mortgage, the average monthly mortgage payment is $1,225, with a median of $1,100.
Among renters, the average rent payment is $855 and the median payment is $760. Both the median reported mortgage and the median reported rent have increased relative to 2014, when they were $1,068 and $700 respectively—although the increase in median mortgage payments is not statistically significant.
Which points up the fact that the increase in the median rent payment in the 12 months from 2014 to 2015 is statistically significant.
Following the poor employment report from Friday, one of the few areas some economists and analysts took encouragement from was evidence of continued improvement on the wage front. Here, New York Times contributor Jeff Sommer notes that "Workers' Wages Rebound While Wall Street Squirms."
Corporate profits may get squeezed if wages go up, but consumer households get to spend more, can save more, and can make neighborhoods stronger if their incomes are on the rise.
Our guess is that, particularly where wages are growing--which Pew Research spotlights here--you will begin to see an inflection point on shifts from renting to owning. That 8.5% spike in median rents in one year is a plot line, and where wages are growing faster, homeownership becomes not only the smarter option, but a viable one.

Persistently you revolve,
Within your resolve can you shadow me from a doubt,
Can you call me out,
Can we shake hands and have no sorrow,
Under shadowed,
Persistently we revolve,
A spinning top, trapped in the veins of tenacity.
I keep going,
Ludicrously you dangle your heart before me,
A strange energy departs, but returns in the form of anger,
We reverse and recycle, the dissipation of this apparition frightens me.
I never feel the same,
Not really,
Not around you.
We have our burdens to bear,
Our sheepskin to wear,
So from behind the wolves teeth,
How many skins lay dormant to the idea of your own love.
Now I hear hypocrisy, dampening my thoughts,
A stream of heart break extends it's condolences,
"Nothing is built to last forever…"
They say.
"Nothing is built to last."

La Valsainte Charterhouse
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (August 2008) (Learn how and when to remove this template message)
La Valsainte Charterhouse or La Valsainte (Latin: Vallis sanctorum omnium, later Vallis Sancta) situated in La Valsainte in the district of Gruyère, Canton of Fribourg, is the only remaining extant Carthusian monastery in Switzerland.[1]
The charterhouse, in the heart of the valleys of the Javroz and the Jogne, was founded in 1295 by Girard I, lord of Corbières. In the Middle Ages it was the owner of a vast territory covering the greater part of the present communes of Cerniat and Charmey, over which by right of its lordship it exercised the high and the low justice.
It was destroyed by fire in 1381.
In 1454 it passed into the lordship of the County of Greyerz, with which it passed again in 1535 to the city of Fribourg.
The government of Fribourg were not kindly disposed toward the monastery, but their efforts to suppress it and absorb its revenues were for many years opposed by the French, who supported it. However, in 1778 the Pope agreed to its suppression, and the government of Fribourg used its revenues to cover the costs of the Diocese of Lausanne, for which they had become responsible. The monks moved to La Part-Dieu Charterhouse at Bulle.
In 1791, during the French Revolution, the empty charterhouse at La Valsainte gave shelter to refugee French Trappists under Dom Augustin de Lestrange, and in 1794 the premises were declared by Pope Pius VI a Cistercian abbey, which became the birthplace of the Cistercian Reform movement. The Trappists were expelled by Napoleon in 1798, but returned to it from 1802 to 1812 and again from 1814 to 1815. From 1818 to 1824 the monastery provided shelter for a group of Redemptorists. It was then sold, and demolished apart from the principal block, built in 1729.
In 1863, the local political climate had changed sufficiently to permit the return of the Carthusian community from La Part-Dieu Charterhouse, which had been suppressed in 1848, and the ruined site was in part restored but mostly rebuilt. The present buildings thus consist of the main block of 1729 surrounded by late 19th century additions and extensions (monks' cells, converts' building, chapel and various buildings outside the monastery itself).
Around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries the anti-clerical laws passed in France resulted in the expulsion of Carthusian monks, and two additional ranges of cells were built at La Valsainte to accommodate some of them, in 1886 and 1901. In 1903 and 1904 the Chapter General of the Carthusian order met here. The impossibility of pursuing monastic vocations in France at this period meant an increase of vocations at La Valsainte.
Restoration of the church[edit]
In the 1970s the church was thoroughly restored. All 19th century interior work was swept away (except for the stalls), including the flooring. The partition between the choir of the Fathers and that of the lay monks was removed, and the sanctuary was gutted. Work on the roof revealed, in the extreme west, two bays of 14th century vaulting in Tuffière stone, which had somehow survived the destruction of the 19th century. These are the oldest surviving part of the monastery premises.
Warmth and vitality is given to the bare walls by the non-figurative stained glass windows by the painter Chorderet. The tabernacle and the processional cross are both in enamel by the French artist Mirande. A Gothic Madonna of the 14th century, a gift, stands to the left of the main altar.
Several other Carthusian monasteries have taken inspiration from the restoration of La Valsainte for work on their own churches, notably the Montalegre Charterhouse near Barcelona.
Novices' cloister[edit]
The range of buildings latterly known as the novices' cloister, one of those constructed in haste around the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries for the accommodation of exiled French monks, was discovered in the 1990s to be in danger of collapse, undermined by groundwater, and was demolished.
The revived community at La Valsainte has included some distinguished members, and the inclusion of numbers of French religious has added to the vigour of Roman Catholic spiritual life in Switzerland.
Two priors are of particular note for the charterhouse:
- Dom Florent Miège, prior during the 1920s, was a French religious, spiritual father of Raïssa Maritain and adviser of her husband, the philosopher Jacques Maritain.
- Dom Nicolas Barras, member of the community from 1934 to 1981, for many of which years he was prior, was a Swiss Carthusian, responsible for the integration of the monastery into the local society and for the many practical issues thrown up by the maintenance of the buildings and the application of the order's statutes to contemporary life. For example, he authorised and oversaw the installation of electricity, and supervised the adaptation of the prescribed diet to the limited supplies available during World War II.
The 20th century monks of Valsainte include some who are distinguished as spiritual writers, such as Dom Augustin Guillerand (author of Silence cartusien) and Dom Jean-Baptiste Porion (author of Amour et Silence). Dom Porion in particular, who entered the monastery in 1921, caused many French artists and intellectuals to visit Valsainte, which resulted in numerous conversions. Jacques Loew, for example, was converted to Catholicism while attending a mass celebrated at Valsainte in the silence of dawn.
The community, in 2007, comprised around 20 (including 12 Fathers and 8 Brothers), whose average age is over 60. Numbers of vocations have declined since the 1970s. In the last twenty years the community has lost over half its members, but has received only 4-5 new ones.

Curiosity Caught DeathMature
Thane took a long, satisfying drag from the vanilla flavoured cigarette as he walked down the street, passing people who barely acknowledged that he existed among them. A long time ago Thane would have cared, he would have smiled at people who passed him or struck up a conversation with someone at a shop, but not anymore, because in one way or another he was going to see them again in less than welcoming circumstances.
Shoving his cigarette free hand in the pocket of his coat Thane took out a pair of leather gloves and quickly put them on. Just remembering how easy it was for humans to die at the slightest touch of his skin made his heart jerk in a panic. Gloves protected humans from unexpected death.
Dropping his near finished cigarette on the sidewalk Thane grinded his heel against it, hearing the satisfying crunch of stone against his leather shoes brought a brief smile to his lips before he looked up again and caught sight of two people in a car.
Thane looked with strange curiosity as the two men sat in the car talking to each other, although, the man in the driver's seat was obviously doing more of the talking than the other. The man in the driver's seat was rather handsome; dark blonde hair that was cut short, dark chocolate eyes and a face that reminded Thane of a twenty year old Clint Eastwood. The other man in the car looked as though he was going to be sick, his head was bent low so Thane could only see two of the man's features; long dark brown hair that looked as if the man just came out of a photo-shoot and arctic blue eyes that averted from looking at the other man.
Thane couldn't help but stare at the both of them, it looked like they were arguing but Thane could never be sure about those types of things, taking out another cigarette Thane watched the two men interact. Until of course, by Thane's own luck, the man in the driver's seat caught sight of Thane and glared at him.
Thane almost choked on the smoke in surprise, waving away the plume of white smoke that covered him before hurriedly walking away from the man's stare, past his favourite pub; The Slug and Hare, and into his favourite music store, 78 Records.
"What did I tell you about smoking in my bloody shop, Thane?" A man with a red, shaggy beard shouted behind the counter as Thane pressed his back against the door, calmed his nerves down before walking inside the shop and butting out the half-finished cigarette on the ash tray at the front of the counter.
"Sorry Pat." Thane mumbled in reply.
Silently, Thane weaved through the store before he reached the 'Rock' genre and started to sift through the artists that were labelled in multi-coloured paper. Over the years Thane was starting to have an impressive collection of CD's, which he used whenever Shakespeare wanted to tell him the pitfalls and triumphs of being a world famous playwright. No one knew how incredibly egotistical Shakespeare actually was, the man could've have written five autobiographies if he still had a body.
Thane held up a Smashing Pumpkins CD in his hand - he had seen this album a couple of times and had only listened to one song – and gave it Pat, who took it, gave an approving nod and shoved the CD in the stereo.
Music soon filled the store; the song that was playing was the only one that Thane had heard from the band; Tonight, Tonight. For some reason Thane always felt happier when he listened to this song, he smiled as he sifted through the CD's in the 'Folk Rock' genre and grabbing a couple by a band that he never listened before and a couple of ones from Bob Dylan.

text: Posted 2nd September 2015 at 12:13 pm Stevie May joined Preston North End on deadline day in the summer of 2015 for an undisclosed fee. Born in Scotland, the striker started his career in St Johnstone's youth team from the age of ten-years-old, and went on to make his first team debut at 16, in 2009. May scored on his St Johnstone debut and signed a new contract that summer to keep him at the Club until 2012. The forward made over 100 appearances as a young striker during his time in Scotland, which included loan spells at Alloa Athletic and Hamilton. May scored over 50 goals in that time, an impressive record that caught the eye of Sheffield Wednesday who signed the striker in 2014.The 22-year-old joined Wednesday in August 2014, and his first goal for the Club came later that month against Middlesborough, in a 3-2 win for the Owls. May went on to play 39 league games for Wednesday that season, before joining PNE on the final day of the summer transfer window in September.The young striker made his PNE debut as a second half substitute in the 2-1 defeat to Derby County at Deepdale. May suffered a huge blow after picking up a serious knee injury in November 2015, ruling him out for the remainder of the season and the start of the 2016/17 campaign. The focus for May is making a full recovery before looking to return to first team action before the end of the calendar year.

Silver Chains Can't Hold This Tough Puppy Down
I was in the basement, wrapped up into about a thousand pounds of chains. My body was warm and tingling with pain. The bones in my body were trying to form a new structure, and my nails and canine teeth were sharpening, but the silver weakened me, and I couldn't change completely. I dug my claws into the ground, and winced at every flash of pain that came across my body.
I could feel my tail, long and fluffy, sprouting from my lower back. It twitched and moved, but I had no control of it. My body was about as hot as hell right now. Sweat dripped down my temples, forehead, chest, legs, armpits, and neck.
Shaking and quivering, I struggle to stand. My human mind was drifting off into the mind of a wolf. I growled loudly, trying to break free of the chains. I used all of the strength the silver hadn't taken away from me. Squirming and struggling underneath the chains, I fell over. One more push, and I heard a break in the chains.
A howl escaped my throat, and I shook the chains off of me. I felt all of my strength return to me, and my human mind was completely lost, and wolf instincts took over. I rush up the stairs, ignoring Luther and Jordyn watching me with astonished eyes and chasing after me, and I break through the front door, my body completely wolf.

In December I spent some time soul searching and I thought long and hard about how I wanted to prioritize my life and how I wanted to spend my time and energy in 2017. As a result, I have a lot of wonderful goals for 2017 that center around self-care, health, unplugging, and pursuing my passions.
In the spirit of starting anew, I'm going to restart this blog thing of mine to help keep me accountable.
- I've still been running a lot and I rounded out 2016 with about 875 miles. In 2016, I aim aiming for 1000 miles. Gotta keep moving forward, right?!
- To help fight seasonal laziness, I joined Classpass to get my butt off the couch and sweating in the winter. So far, my favorite places to go in Chicago are Flywheel, Shred415, and PureBarre.
- I've limited my use of social media to 2 times per day and have removed all of social media off of my phone. You would be so surprised what a difference that makes - outta sight, outta mind!
- I'm doing my best to be purposeful about who I spend my time with and also really trying to be present and in the moment when I am with friends and family.
- I am committed to dry January and the Whole30. I'm currently 24 days in and going strong! I've never felt so good, even if I do really miss red wine. Only 6 more days!
- I also became a Beachbody Coach. After using Shakeology for a year and loving it, I thought it was about time. Reach out if you want information, support, or products - I'm happy to help!
This year, I'm going to try to keep this going. Can't wait to see what adventures I encounter along the way!
Cheers to 2017!

State prosecutors, led by the Attorney-General, Patrick Chinamasa, promised to call 32 witnesses to back the indictment on five counts of culpable homocide against Dr McGown, 57. The state did not allege, however, that Dr McGown had experimented with mainly black patients as a parliamentary select committee had claimed last year. The defence lawyer, Chris Anderson, who served as minister of justice under Ian Smith's Rhodesian Front government and in President Robert Mugabe's cabinet, spent much of his time attacking the March 1993 parliamentary committee which set the trial in motion and MPs who accused Dr McGown of being a 'human killing-machine' bent on genocide.
'The effect . . . was to implant in the minds of the public that he is guilty of experimentation which is not alleged and the charges which he is not facing,' said Mr Anderson. Of the first 460 children who received epidural injections, he said, 60 per cent were white.
The five counts of culpable homicide as outlined by Mr Chinamasa focused on a general lack of post-operative observation, especially needed after the 'epidural' method of injecting morphine into the membrane enveloping the spinal cord because of possible respiratory complications. The epidural method has been in common use in many Western hospitals, but Dr McGown became a pioneer of the approach since reading about it in the British medical journal, the Lancet, in 1979.
He began using the method the next year and wrote and lectured abroad on his findings. By the time Irene Papatheocharous, 26, died in 1986 after a gallstone operation, Dr McGown had administered hundreds of such injections. Four other patients later died.
The trial is expected to last at least a month.

Closed in 2008, Spokane Art School rallies as nonprofit
Sun., Nov. 11, 2012, midnight
If art changes the world, then the world changes art, too – including the stuff it's made of as well as the way we learn to make it.
When the Spokane Art School closed its doors in 2008, selling its downtown building and putting the money it had left into an endowment fund, it cited dwindling federal and state support for the arts. Enrollment in the school's classes was down, too, according to reports at the time.
As an independent entity, the art school has been mostly dormant since. The $1 million it had from the building sale after paying off its bills went into a fund under the umbrella of the MAC Foundation.
But now the school is extending new roots into the community. It reincorporated as a nonprofit institution and is offering a small roster of classes as a "school without walls," said Sue Bradley, president of the school's board of trustees.
It's also working on a long-term plan to get some permanent walls of its own – and in its next phase of life, the Spokane Arts School will reflect both new media and students' new needs, Bradley said.
"The way art is delivered and the way people are encountering art – particularly with the change in the Internet and technology – is changing," she said. "So the art school model for arts education is also changing. What is not changing is that we're finding individuals want their children to do art, and adults still want to make art."
The art school's "old model" was to offer a variety of weekly classes, one long session at a time.
"People don't do art like that anymore," Bradley said. "Nobody does a nine-week class anymore. They've got soccer."
For the art school, she said, the job becomes figuring out how to help children and adults develop their creative and technical skills while adapting to their busy lives. So offering shorter and drop-in classes is one aspect of a long-term plan under development by the trustees.
Another aspect is to find a new location. While that's a long way off, Bradley said – there's the "master plan" to finish, budgets to envision, fundraising to undertake – board members are investigating potential locations. They'd like the school to open downtown, she said, near Mobius Science Center and other attractions.
"The vision is to have something that looks like an art factory, where we'd have a working printing press, where we'd have a ceramics studio," Bradley said. Also among potential offerings: digital-media classes.
Run by a resident artist with enough cachet to draw other artists to Spokane, Bradley said, the school would offer studio space for rent.
"It would be the kind of building and facility that would support working artists, so people could have studio time," she said. "We have dozens of young people graduate every year from the fine arts program in our universities. And in order to keep doing the work they've learned, they have to either keep paying tuition to get access to the studios or they somehow have to have the financial wherewithal to set up their own studios. In this economy that's very difficult."
'Starting small'
But that's all stages of development away. While the timeline is fuzzy, Bradley estimated that if the art school isn't in a new spot downtown within five years, the trustees will at least by then know where it's going.
For now, the school – run by part-time staff paid through income from the endowment – is slowly rebuilding its faculty and adding classes.
Karen Kaiser, the school's program director, noted that the school's 2008 closure meant a loss not just of classes, but also its physical resources. The building's three stories included a gallery, ceramics and jewelry studios and a darkroom.
That it provided so much – in a building with costly overhead – may have been part of its problem, especially as arts organizations and galleries throughout the community faced cuts, said Kaiser, also the interim director of the Jundt Art Museum at Gonzaga University.
So as the school grows again, it's doing so slowly, she said. "We're starting small and moving from there."
Classes for children started this year in the former Tinman Too space, leased free of charge to the school by Bradley. That space is on West Garland Avenue, next to the Tinman Gallery, which Bradley also owns.
The art school's next session will start in January and include adult classes. Where the classes take place will depend on where the teachers can find space, whether it's in their own studios or elsewhere.
Learning from pros
No longer able to afford the building it had occupied at 920 N. Howard St. since 1984, the school sold the roughly 11,700-square-foot property in 2008 for about $1.1 million. After the sale, art school leaders created the endowment fund inside the MAC Foundation, with a group of people associated with the old school advising the foundation on how to use its endowment income. As a formal entity, the art school was dissolved. Bradley was president of the museum's board at the time.
That council worked with artists and other organizations to offer a few art classes at Crosswalk Teen Shelter and elsewhere. The hope was to eventually establish an art school at the museum, Bradley said.
But the MAC faced budget and staffing problems of its own that made that seem unlikely, she said. The school reincorporated as a nonprofit last spring. It contracted with the museum to keep managing the endowment.
Jodi Davis worked as the school's operations manager in its old building and is back on the job at its base, for now, at the Tinman. In the past, Davis said, the school counted among its students young people planning to study fine art in college and professional artists seeking to learn new skills.
"When you come to the Spokane Art School, you are learning from somebody who has lived and breathed their craft for a long time," she said. As professional artists, the instructors know how to sell their work, for example, along with the techniques of photography or painting. Students "are able to glean from these teachers what it is to be an artist – what does it mean to take it on as a profession."
A faculty of professional artists will continue to be one of the school's "special characteristics," Bradley said. Ken Spiering, whose public art pieces include Riverfront Park's Radio Flyer Red Wagon, and painter Kay O'Rourke are among those planning to lead workshops, she said.
Spiering started teaching at the art school in 1970, when classes were held in donated basement space.
As an art teacher at Freeman High School in Rockford, Spiering said, he augments his small supplies budget with proceeds from an annual art festival. When funding shrinks, "art has always been the first one to take the beating," he said.
As a trustee for the Spokane Art School as it takes new shape, he's excited about what it can become "in today's world, not just repeating what it was yesterday." That might include an art-outreach program for veterans.
"I've had parents ask me, 'My kid really loves art. Where can they go to go a little more, rather than just one hour a day in their classwork?' " Spiering said. "Well, having the art school was always the easy answer."

Pseudamia amblyuroptera and P. gelatinosa have 39-43 scales in longitudinal series on the body; they differ from one another in counts of anal soft rays (amblyuroptera with 9 and gelatinosa with 8) and of developed gill rakers (amblyuroptera with 2 + 9 and gelatinosa with 1 + 7). Pseudamia tarri has 31 scales in longitudinal series and a relatively deep body (depth 3.75 in SL). Pseudamia hayashii and P. zonata have 23-25 scales; they are readily differentiated by counts of dorsal and anal soft rays (8 for both fins of hayashii and 9 or 10 dorsal rays and 9 anal rays for zonata) and developed gill rakers (1 + 7 for hayashii and 6 + 16-18 for zonata). Also, P. zonata is distinctive in having a flat interorbital space and villiform teeth externally on the side of the jaws.

Sioux Falls, S.D.-based Millennium Recycling Inc. will begin receiving and sorting cartons used for packaging milk, juice, soy milk, broth, soup, wine and other food and beverages, starting April 22, 2013. The company will collect and process aseptic rectangular shaped cartons as well as the familiar gable-top refrigerated cartons.
Millennium Recycling has undergone a year-long renovation of its facility and equipment to allow cartons in its single-stream recycling program. Spring ice and snow posed barriers to the upgrade deadline of April 22, but extra shifts and hard work put the project back on schedule, according to the company.
Millennium Recycling reminds residents that cartons need to be:
- Emptied of all liquids;
- Without a cap or straw;
- Not crushed; and
- Placed in the single-stream recycling bin.

I am enraged about the trolley system at the arrivals hall of some airports, Bristol Airport being one. It cost £2 to release a trolley from a slipway and, unlike supermarket trolleys, it is non-refundable. The public relations manager told me this system "better serves those passengers wishing to use a trolley". It is hard to see how. JE, Salisbury, Wiltshire
A number of airports, including Birmingham, Leeds, Manchester and Luton require payment for luggage trolleys. This, according to the Airport Operators Association is to "invest in the customer experience".
A spokesman says that for many airports in the UK, "around half of their revenue is from non-aeronautical fees".
At Bristol Airport I am told the charge is progress, allowing the provision of "high-quality modern trolleys at minimal cost". Given that serviceable trolleys used to be available for free it's not clear why this is the good news.

Fox released official audio of Laverne Cox singing "Sweet Transvestite" as the musical's infamous Dr. Frank-N-Furter in Fox's Rocky Horror Picture Show: Let's Do the Time Warp Again remake.
Her version maintains the grittiness of Tim Curry's 1975 original, with a heavier beat.
Cox (Orange is the New Black), who identifies as transgender and is an activist for transgender rights, told Vanity Fair Fox debated on whether to use the word "transvestite," which she called "an antiquated term that trans folks certainly don't use," and ultimately decided to go with it to pay tribute to the original.
"It's not appropriate to refer to trans people as a transvestite [today], but it is [used here as] the character in that specific moment in history," Cox said.
Directed by Kenny Ortega, Rocky Horror airs October 20 at 8 p.m. on Fox, followed by a new soundtrack of the musical set to debut on October 21.

I Walk Alone
This poem is about sort of breaking away, even from the people you love and trying to be kinda your own person and be independant :P
Do not follow me
Please don't come,
I'm finished here,
I've had my fun.
I'm going somewhere,
On my own,
I walk alone, I walk alone.
Do not cry when I leave,
If I think you will,
Does that make me nieve?
Try not to care,
As I go out the door,
Only to hurt you a little bit more.
And now there is nothing,
Stopping me roam,
I walk alone, I walk alone.

Solar energy energy systems will often generate their maximum output of electrical power during the afternoon, when the sun is generally radiating the brightest. Solar power can be an ideal remedy to numerous of the peak electric power issues that are increasingly coming to be more and a lot more typical around a lot of various nations. By installing some kind or utilizing of a solar power creating system with an inbuilt battery backup, a residence or industrial would be immune, in a lot of means from and electric power blackout.
Electricity is possibly amongst the most important kinds of energy usage that most men and women will utilize on earth and this enormous electric worry is, boosting each day, because of the several methods that electricity is utilized in the lives of lots of people. Solar powered energy, often directly supersedes the need to generate electric power, which often originates from fossil fuel powered electric power plants.
Any type of solar system will certainly need some type of upfront expense, but the expense of going solar varies from year to year. And it's an excellent concept to start with a small, solar energy electricity system, such as a laptop solar charger. You and your family could quickly and inexpensively increase their solar system, at a later time by spending for a smaller solar system for the roof of a residence or industrial and then additionally increase as their electrical necessities succeed, over extended periods of time. A solar laptop battery charger, is utilized rather than standard electric battery chargers. Rather than using the old fashioned charger that depends on electrical energy, a solar charger for laptop, harnesses sunshine and converts it to electrical energy. But instead of instantaneously directing the electric current in to electric-powered gadgets, a solar powered laptop charger, stores the power in electric batteries. You can keep converted electrical energy in the solar charger for laptop, internal storage battery and after that, use it later on. Here is a readers reference: view it now.
The best way to know the complexities of solar energy is to begin with the simpler items such as a solar charger laptop.

It normally could additionally enhance the value of any property due to the fact that of the perks of including solar power to a home or industrial. Which indicates that, the resale worth is usually boosted when any sort of kind of solar system is put in. It could often be checked out as a financial investment, since a homeowner, gets electricity at no cost and finishes up obtaining back whatever money they placed in to the solar system. Sunlight is free, and the system needed to change solar radiations in to electricity as well as warm water for a house or company, is not expensive. A person could effortlessly reduce that expense by doing the installment themselves.
A great instance of this is to utilize some kind of solar laptop charger. These tool are efficient and extremely beneficial portable laptop charger to have.

Following the success of the major Junior Day weekend Stanford hosted that was built around a practice in Stanford Stadium on March 1, the Cardinal are hosting a second Junior Day today and tomorrow. The latest Junior Day follows the same model the football staff employed in March, with the team back in the stadium on Sunday. In addition to having a horde of junior recruits on hand for that practice, the weekend will attempt to replicate the agenda of the early March production, with time set aside for tours of the campus, quality time with the coaches, and other staples of the visit experience.
This Junior Day brings a dozen recruits to The Farm. As with the earlier major recruiting weekend, the visitors list includes a handful of potential recruits who have not yet received Stanford offers as well as a strong group of recruits who loom as prime targets for Stanford. The weekends did differ in some important respects, however. Most notably, the latest weekend predominantly featured recruits from outside of California, in contrast to the mostly Californian cast of characters in March. The weekend's visitors are:
- ATH Courtney Dalcourt – Franklin (Ky.) Franklin Simpson
- RB Patrick Foley – Scottsdale (Ariz.) Notre Dame Preparatory
- RB Damien Thigpen – Manassas (Va.) Stonewall Jackson
- WR Drew Terrell – Chandler (Ariz.) Hamilton
- OL Ben Hughes – Sugar Land (Tex.) Stephen F. Austin
- OL Brian Schwenke – Oceanside (Ca.)
- OL Xavier Su'a Filo – Provo (Utah) Timpview
- TE/DE Brock Sanders – Duluth (Ga.) Northview
- DE Zac Costlow – Steubenville (Ohio) Catholic Central
- DE Craig Roh – Scottsdale (Ariz.) Chaparral
- DT Terrence Stephens – Gaithersburg (Md.) Quince Orchard
- K Dustin Hopkins – Houston (Tex.) Clear Lake
- LB/DE (2010) Chris Martin – Oakland (Calif.) Bishop O'Dowd
Four of the prospects in this group join eight of the prospects from the March Junior Day in the Scout.com Top 300: offensive tackle Xavier Su'a Filo (#136 overall), running back Damien Thigpen (#167 overall), defensive end Craig Roh (#173 overall), and defensive tackle Terrence Stephens (#232 overall).
Aside from this quartet of high-profile recruits, the visitors list is marked by the presence of 11 out-of-state recruits representing eight different states. For the second Junior Day in a row, Stanford hosted at least one recruit from both Georgia and Kentucky, demonstrating the extent to which Stanford is concentrating efforts in those far-away states. With last month's commitments by March visitor Camden Wentz and current April visitor Brock Sanders, Stanford has developed an early and surprising foothold in Georgia in particular.
The visitors list is also notable for the presence of a quartet of prospects who had not received scholarship offers as of the start of the weekend in Costlow, Hopkins, Hughes, and Schwenke. It will be interesting to see how their recruitments proceed in the wake of this weekend's visit. Also, Hopkins joins brothers Michael Loftus and Connor Loftus from the March Junior Day as a kicking specialist Stanford is taking a serious look at. Given the apparent nature of these weekends as events geared toward active Stanford targets, the trio of kickers brought in already signifies the Stanford coaching staff's conscious emphasis on that often-overlooked position. Look for Stanford to bring in a kicker in the 2009 class, potentially as a scholarship player or recruited walk-on.
Like the March Junior Day group, the current cast is disproportionately represented by prospects that project on the offensive side of the ball. Stanford has aggressively extended offers at positions on offense and that level of engagement has translated to the composition of the groups that have come to campus for the two major visit weekends this year. That said, it is defensive line that stands out as the most impressively populated position group for this weekend's attendees. Roh and Stephens may be the two highest priorities for Stanford of anybody on campus this weekend. Sanders is a versatile prospect who could play defensive end in addition to tight end. Costlow does not have an offer but sits high enough on the radar to receive an invitation to the somewhat exclusive Junior Day. In a year in which defensive line recruiting looks to be Stanford's most acute need, the group attending this April visit weekend could contribute a core of prospects for that unit.
Stay tuned to The Bootleg for more on this weekend's slate of visitors.

By: Tanner Shurtz - AngelsWin.com Columnist This article is my take on why Tommy Hanson is the key to the Angels making the playoffs, I will give a brief summary about the 2012 rotation, the replacements that Dipoto has brought in and why they are good moves, and finally the reasoning behind Hanson being our key to the playoffs. Going into the 2012 season, the Angels rotation looked as good as it ever has been, with 3 aces and a potential for a fourth. Lead by team ace Jered Weaver, coming off a season in which he would've won the CY Young if not for Verlander's utterly dominating campaign. The number two in the rotation, was newcomer CJ Wilson, coming off a great season, where he won 16 games and had an ERA just under 3. The next two were Dan Haren and Ervin Santana both of which coming off pretty decent years in which they both had ERA's in the low 3's. Man, coming into April this looked like a top rotation in the AL, maybe even the MLB…boy, were we wrong. Wea...
