I woke up in my clothes and makeup, as usual. On top of the covers. Not ideal for a good night's sleep.
Got ready through all the mess that is my room. I've been meaning to clean it for MONTHS. It's horrible. But I just can't find time to do it!!!!!!! UGH. It realllllly frustrates me.
Also, still looking for my prized gold watch - my new favorite accessory. Can't find it anywhere. I remember last taking it off at dance rehearsal, but I was sure I put it in my bag... NOT GOOD. I'll never find it in all the mess! I've been mad at myself all weekend about that.
The weather is COLD and RAINY. Boo.
And I don't have my umbrella.
I don't get to go home til like 10 tonight. After teaching today, I have a three hour class at HPU.
My clothes don't match.
So needless to say, I had a bad attitude coming in to teach today.
I had a fantastic weekend (as usual).
The students are watching A Knight's Tale in all three periods, so I have time to catch up on grading, work, and (blogging) haha.
I'm starting to like this rainy day.
Lunch is in ten minutes and I have Chinese rice.
I'm probably taking myself to Krispy Kreme after I leave here.
My three hour class tonight isn't so bad. I like the teacher a lot. And Kacie sits with me.
AXO is having a cookie party after I get out of my class tonight.
I'm going to the first playoff basketball game after that.
So I'm finding little things to be HAPPY about and get me through the day!
(even though nothing I'm wearing matches. yikes.)
Highlights From This Weekend
Saw my HPU theatre department's production of The Glasses, and it was awesome!
Hung out with friends at the arcade on campus.
Got started with my executive board (AXO) plans and duties. Hit it off with my advisor. I love her! (And I LOVE my position as VP Ritual and Fraternity Appreciation. It's perfect for me.)
Went to my cousin's wedding shower. Had a great time with my family and family friends.
CRAFTED with some BFFs! Made another Lilly bathroom set to sell!
Had our first AXO meeting with the new executive board. So I got to help lead the meeting!
Lunch with some sisters.
Got a cool panhellenic shirt for $5. And a cupcake.
Helped take down the stage from The Glasses with my theatre buddies. I've missed them :/
Did homework (sort of), had pizza, and watched the Oscar pre-show with some sisters.
Watched the Oscars and started graduate school applications with Alex.
It was a fun weekend :)
^ Just some Monday motivation!! ^

American Mineralogist
- © 2015 Mineralogical Society of America
We present a new approach to model planetary accretion and continuous core formation, and discuss the implications if Earth accreted under conditions initially more oxidized than the modern day mantle. The modified model uses the same partitioning data that were previously used to model accretion under reducing conditions, however, changing the partitioning between accreting metal and silicate mantle means that reducing conditions fail to meet expected core/mantle values. Instead, the model requires conditions more oxidized than the modern day mantle to converge and to yield expected elemental core/mantle distribution values for moderately siderophile elements. The initial oxygen fugacity required to provide the crucial level of oxidation is approximately ΔIW ~ −1.2 to −1.7 and thus is in the range of carbonaceous and ordinary chondrites. The range of peak pressures for metal silicate partitioning is 60–6 GPa and oxygen fugacity must decrease to meet modern FeO mantle contents as accretion continues. Core formation under oxidizing conditions bears some interesting consequences for the terrestrial Si budget. Although the presented partitioning model can produce a Si content in the core of 5.2 wt%, oxidizing accretion may limit this to a maximum of ~3.0 to 2.2 wt%, depending on the initial fO2 in BSE, which places bulk earth Mg/Si ratio between 0.98–1.0. In addition, under oxidizing conditions, Si starts partitioning late during accretion, e.g., when model earth reached >60% of total mass. As a consequence, the high P-T regime reduces the accompanied isotope fractionation considerably, to 0.07‰ for 5.2 wt% Si in the core. The isotope fractionation is considerably less, when a maximum of 3.0 wt% in the core is applied. Under oxidizing conditions it becomes difficult to ascertain that the Si isotope composition of BSE is due to core-formation only. Bulk Earth's Si isotope composition is then not chondritic and may have been inherited from Earth's precursor material.

Yet another Goulet Inkapalooza pick-up! I was pretty attracted to the color, so I thought: why not?
organics studio aristotle
review: sailor jentle tokiwa-matsu
This is the second of the two bottles of Sailor Jentle inks that I own! Here we go!
review: sailor jentle yama-dori
Sailor Jentle Yama-dori is one of the newer inks released in the Sailor Jentle line after the past colors were discontinued. Unfortunately, a bunch of really popular colors are no longer being made (like Grenade: rest in peace), but I think the fountain pen community had high hopes for the new line.
review: j. herbin vert réséda
I bought an entire bottle of Vert Réséda to put into my Kaweco Sport Skyline in mint, and there is no way I regret it. At all.

The moment I saw the Kaweco Sport Skyline, I knew I had to have it. I mean, look at it.

review: noodler's air-corp blue-black
This isn't my first tango with Noodler's Air-Corp Blue-Black: I actually wanted this ink about a year ago after I tried out a sample, but I only just recently managed to pick up a bottle!
review: jinhao 599
The Jinhao 599, oh how familiar you look. Perhaps this pen reminds you, ever so slightly, of a rather famous pen from a rather famous company that rhymes with Shlamy.

Oh, Pilot Metropolitan. Pen of pens. You've probably heard a lot of good stuff about the Metropolitan, and I'm here to tell you: it's all true.

review: diamine marine
Diamine Marine was an ink that was pretty high on my wishlist for a while. I bought a sample, and then I bought another, and then I caved and bought a bottle. I really, really like this ink.
review: noodler's 54th massachusetts
You may not have noticed this (ha…) but I love blues. Blue-greens, blue-blacks, plain ol' blues… I love 'em! So when I picked up Noodler's 54th Massachusetts, I expected to have a pleasant ride. I've had relatively good experiences with Noodler's in the past (Noodler's Black was the first ink I ever got, Noodler's Air-Corp Blue-Black is a definite favorite, Noodler's Kung Te-Cheng was quite simply a disaster, but I am willing to forgive Nathan for it), so I was really hoping that this ink would fall in the Black/Air-Corp Blue-Black category and not Kung Te-Cheng category.

This movie gets a lot of flak for being cliche. It might be a little bit, but even a bad Scream movie is better than a lot of other horror films. The thing that bothered me the most in this was the fact that I didn't care as much about the people being killed. They were actors playing the parts of the Woodsboro victims. So, the audience isn't too emotionally involved in them. The twist at the end is great and the action and violence are top notch. Some great cameos in this too. It's not bad.

It seems to be obligatory for all forms of media to release some sort of year-in-review compilation. I missed this apparent mandate that once a year each year every publication and form of infotainment must list and rank an even number (usually 10, or a multiple of it) of the most notable occurrences of the year. Nevertheless, it happens ever year and about every conceivable subject: Best Dressed of 1999, Best Travel Writing of 2008, Most Androgynous Pop Stars of 1984, Most Duly Styled Muttonchops of 1837, Beheadings You Might Have Missed in 1256, and you get the idea.
I decided I should play along, so the subject for my first proper blog entry on this site is a retrospective of 2008, a year that will likely go down in all forms of history as utterly and entirely forgettable, but still seems slightly relevant today. I've tried my best to stay away from any sort of ranked list or even categories and what follows is a list of my highlights and biggest disappointments in pop culture over the last year (and it was a fairly lackluster year, especially for movies, but I'll try to focus on the positive).
Lost on Planet China by J. Maarten Troost
Dutch-Czech-Canadian Troost is not only one of the greatest travel writers I know of, he's a brilliant writer in general (which is convenient because, as he has pointed out, he isn't technically a travel writer since in his first two books he actually lived in the countries he was writing about.) This book, however, is a travelogue of Troost's journey throughout China as he is considering moving his family to the emerging superpower. Troost's previous books, Getting Stoned With Savages and Sex Lives of Cannibals, are also great works that explore life in the South Pacific island nations of Vanuatu, Fiji, and Kiribati. The casual and introspective style of these works continues in Planet China.
The Fall
Directed by a man known and credited simply as "Tarsem" (his family name is Singh, so take that), this was one of the most astoundingly well-photographed films in recent memory. It tells the story of a little girl who meets an injured stuntman in the hospital. He makes up an epic tale that involves both of them as protagonists in order to entertain her (and when I say "entertain her," I mean "trick her into stealing morphine for him.") I'm listing The Fall as both a highlight and a disappointment. It was a wonderful and entertaining film and it had incredible visuals throughout. I felt like a five year-old with my jaw agape staring at the screen with eyes wide open and security blanket in hand (fortunately, I actually did have a chance to see this film on the big screen thanks to the Dragonfly Theater, Boone's newest cinema located on Boone Heights Drive next to the bowling alley and sort of across from Burger King – go there and go there often).
So, as for the look of the film, it was astonishing and exceeded even my own lofty expectations. Those high expectations (which had been built up mostly by watching the trailer, but slightly by word of mouth) were let down quite a bit, however, by the storytelling. For a movie about storytelling, I simply expected a better script. The concept was great, complex, intriguing, but the plot simply came to a screeching crashing halt. It suspect the last third of the movie had been hacked apart and found most of itself on the cutting room floor (or a dog ate a few pages out of the screenplay). After initially viewing the movie, I thought such a slapped together, train-wreck sort of ending was intentional, attempting to comment on the nature of storytelling. I've come to believe that, even if that was intended, the immediate stop-then-hurry-up resolution was still extremely disappointing. Not to say the film is bad, it is amazing and certainly worth seeing, but it was still one of the biggest let-downs of the year in that regard.
Fable II
Yes, I am listing a video game. Not the most kosher thing to do in a literary/art circle, however this was certainly a highlight of 2008 in my book and the visual storytelling was better than ninety-five and one-half percent of the books, films, and television shows I saw this year. For those of you unfamiliar with the series, Fable is a role-playing game where players guide a character on quests across the mythical world of Albion. The world is fairly interactive and most of the quests allow players to make decisions. Based on how one plays the game, the character will become more good or evil and more pure or corrupt. The character's look will reflect his or her personality and other characters in the game respond accordingly (fall in love at the sight of the character, run and scream in terror, etc.) You can become an epic hero or the dark lord incarnate. Either way, the story is compelling, never exactly the same, and unfolds through cut scenes as well as the game-play itself. I have beaten the game since Christmas and will doubtless waste many more hours of my life traversing the Bandit Coast, casting spells on banshees, kicking chickens, and cavorting with drunkards and prostitutes. With the release of this game and Grand Theft Auto IV in 2008, it turned out to be a great year for games – in particular for quality storytelling and even, dare I say it, art through the medium of video games.

The project originally featured Stephen Malkmus and Bob Nastanovich of Pavement (technically, Pavement was a side-project of the Silver Jews). Anyhow, Berman is a great lyricist and is actually a published poet. His collection Actual Air was published a few years ago (I just got it for Christmas and have yet to had enough time to give it proper attention, but what I've read so far is great – perhaps I'll review that another time) and he's also had work published in The New Yorker.
Getting back to this album, it's great if you are the slightest bit inclined to alt-country. The song that the album takes its name from is "My Pillow is the Threshold" and it is easily the strongest song here. It sums up the tone and underlying themes of the album, the idea that dreaming leads us into a separate, yet entirely valid, sort of alternative existence. As far as mood goes, the album is quite a bit lighter than much of the Silver Jews previous work, and even gets a bit cheesy at times, particularly with "Candy Jail" and "Party Barge." The songwriting is not really up to Berman's traditionally high standard and listeners unfamiliar with the Silver Jews should start off with American Water or Tanglewood Numbers, both of which are, in my opinion, among the best albums of the last twenty years. While not Berman's best, it is certainly worth checking out and is easily one of the highlights of the year in my book.
The Virginia EP by The National
This collection of mostly demos and B-sides from the Ohio via Brooklyn indie-rock quintet was criticized quite harshly by many critics. Pitchfork.com's review of the EP complained that it was not cohesive and it was clear why so many of the B-sides featured on it were left off of previous albums. In my humble opinion, I feel that if a collection of demos, live tracks, and B-sides happened to be as cohesive as a band's actual albums then 1) their albums must be awful 2) all of their music must sound the same or 3) all of the above.
Anyhow, chances are you haven't read said review, but if you're feeling inclined to do so, I would recommend not doing so instead. I find The National to be one of the most talented bands around and, while the dvd that comes with the EP is rather forgettable, the EP itself is outstanding and absolutely indispensable to fans of the group. The title track even features Sufjan Stevens, who has collaborated with The National quite a bit lately. So rejoice, indie-kids, and pick up The Virginia EP immediately! (but not, of course, until after you've picked up Alligator, Boxer, Sad Songs for Dirty Lovers, Cherry Tree, and The National in that order).
War Dance
I happened to stumble upon this film at Fat Cats, having heard nothing about it. It is a documentary about schoolchildren in a war-torn village in Uganda who come together to take part in a national competition of song and dance. While the film shows some heart-wrenching scenes and stories of the violence and brutality that has become almost an ordinary part of many villagers' lives, the focus is on the power of music and the power of community in overcoming the tragedy and strife that comes with life in a war zone. Perhaps ironically, I found this to be one of the better feel-good films of the year. It is a touching story that displays the resiliency of the human spirit, champions the underdog, and explores the power of culture.
Warren Zevon by Warren Zevon (re-release)
I am a huge Warren Zevon fan, so this choice was a no-brainer. Zevon's self-titled album is a masterpiece of pop music, though it never was exactly popular, per se. Chances are, unless you are a huge fan of Zevon, you've only heard his song "Werewolves of London" on some classic rock radio station, probably around Halloween. That song is not at all indicative of Zevon's typical songwriting style, but it is a good representation of the slightly dark, sardonic sense of humor that is common in his music. Producer, collaborator, and friend Jackson Browne reffered to Zevon's style as "song-noir." Zevon himself didn't care for this label since it implied a sort of one dimensional darkness – films-noirs tend to be quite humorless. The label, however, can be useful in describing elements of Zevon's style. The zeitgeist of Los Angeles pop music in the 70's was happy, upbeat, love-oriented. In a word: disco. In two words: easy listening. In this time of fluffy bunny bubble-gum pop, Zevon was writing songs about gun-toting outlaws, insomniacs, prostitutes, heroin addicts, outcasts, and failures in every sense of the word (the song "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" begins with the lines "I lay my head on the railroad tracks / and wait for the double E / but the railroad don't run no more / poor, poor, pitiful me.")
The re-release of this album, even without the bonus tracks, would've made my list of highlights of the year. The bonus tracks comprise nearly an album's worth of material on their own and include demos of songs in various stages of completion, including some with Warren simply singing and playing piano. The minimalism is haunting and beautiful and allows the songs to sound more personal and introspective (not to take anything away from the finished album versions, which are also outstanding). The demo tracks, along with those released on Preludes a few years ago, allow fans to get a glimpse into the evolution of Zevon's songs.
Zhang Yimou directs the Olympic Opening Ceremony
Granted, it wasn't on par with so many of the other great things I could've listed and if I wasn't such a fan of Zhang Yimou's work I probably wouldn't even have thought to include it, but the Beijing Olympic opening ceremony makes my list of highlights of the year. It was far better than any such ceremonies in the past in that it was actually entertaining to watch and maybe even involved a bit of artistry. Yimou included a Chinese folksong, whether intentionally or not, that was featured as a recurring and important theme in Tian Zhuangzhuang's film The Blue Kite – a film that was highly critical of the Chinese communist system and earned the director a government issued ban from filmmaking for several years. If nothing more, it was really goshdarn cool to see some guy I've never heard of run around the side of an arena.
Anywhere I Lay My Head performed by Scarlett Johansson
As you can probably tell, we've now come to the section of the list that features the biggest disappointments. You might find yourself asking, "wow, Jason, did you really expect Johansson's album of Tom Waits covers to be any good?" to which I would respond "no, absolutely not." What I did expect, was probably what everyone else expected: a god-awful train wreck, a vanity project that would be a slap in the face to Waits and his illustrious catalogue of songs, and/or something worthy of ridicule for ages to come. It turned out to be none of these things.
Don't get me wrong, this album was not good by any means. Would the world be better off if Johansson stuck to acting? Probably. Nevertheless, I expected to be able to listen to this album and laugh in an uproarious and conceited manner and I found myself entirely unable to do so. Her cover of "I Wish I Was In New Orleans" was actually, dare I say, rather good. Not better than the original, but actually and surprisingly worth having around. So, for simply being too good (or "too much better than I expected," but that just don't not quite sound right), this album makes my list of the biggest disappointments of 2008.
The Road
This one is simple: I'm disappointed because the film, that was generating quite a bit of Oscar buzz, didn't come out. I'm even more disappointed because it apparently wasn't released on time thanks to poor testing with focus groups, who found the film to be too depressing. So, now instead of having another A-class prestige picture adaptation of a Cormac McCarthy novel to enjoy and relish during Oscar season, we will likely wind up with a giant summer blockbuster (assuming anyone still cares by then) that features a post-apocalyptic utopia where Viggo travels a long distance, but eventually completes his quest, saves the day, and gets the girl. God only knows we need more movies like that. And I'm sure the version that finally hits theaters will realize McCarthy's true vision for the work as well. Somewhere deep inside he really wanted it to be a spy-thriller that tested well with focus groups all along.
Chinese Democracy by Axl Rose and some buddies
While I fully expected this album to suck (and it surely didn't disappoint in that respect), this album makes the list for the opposite reason The Road did. Chinese Democracy was a huge disappointment because it actually, finally came out. 2008 may well go down as the year that will live in infamy – if Axl Rose actually completed this album, that means he's got time on his hands. He might use that time to do things! Or even stuff! God only knows the vile, vicarious nastiness that he may now release upon our planet. In all likelihood, he'll just drink a lot, work on his rad cornrows, and train for that rematch with Tommy Hilfiger. Regardless, I'm still disappointed because now I have one less thing to make fun of Axl Rose for.
And that about wraps up the year for me. I hope you will all wait anxiously for my next post when I do the unthinkable and preview the year ahead. It may be cliché, but it's cliché for a reason – at least, that's what I intend to keep telling myself. Happy reading/listening/viewing and Happy New Year.

'Divergent' actor Ansel Elgort just dropped a banger.
Elgort has been hiding under the alias DJ name "Ansolo" for a minute, but the 22-year-old is putting a face to the name with his latest genre-bending release, "Home Alone."
EDM is a passion of Elgort's, who throws in sporadic dizzying electro-whirls in his new song which he plopped onto SoundCloud at midnight on Friday. The track serves as his vocal debut, which he wrote and produced himself, E! News reports. "I just make whatever music I want," he told Details a while back of being part of the EDM scene. "It's my obsession, and it's very fulfilling."
"At the end of the night/ When I turn off the lights/ And the bulls--t fades away/ I don't want to go home alone,"
"I'm so excited to begin this journey with you all," Elgort Tweeted after its release.
Wow thank you for all the love already on #HomeAlone

A New Research Suggests That You Don't Need To Workout Everyday
- IWB Post
- January 11, 2017
It's 2017, and we need to cut ourselves some slack. Really, it's not going to kill you to not work out for a couple of days, women!
Fortunately for us lazy bums, who don't mind working out say… twice a week, things just got better.
A new research suggests that working out only on the weekends maybe enough for your body.
However, there's a catch there. The recommended amount is 150 minutes of moderate or 75 vigorous minutes of activities from those 2 weekly sessions. It'll also ensure that you don't die too soon (unless you get hit by a cab).
Well, twice a week isn't that bad folks. You could pick up running, cycling, taking a long walk with your pet, anything at all!

Millwall Holdings plc ("Millwall")
Letter from John Berylson, Chairman of Millwall
6th June 2008
Re: Posting of Circular and Notice of General Meeting
Further to the announcement made on 16 May 2008 that Millwall would reluctantly
be calling a General Meeting of Shareholders to vote on two resolutions proposed
by Mr Graham Ferguson Lacey, a circular is being posted to Millwall shareholders
today. The Circular includes a notice convening a General Meeting of
Shareholders to be held at The Den, Zampa Road, London SE16 3LN at 10.30 a.m. on
2 July 2008.
In addition to the circular, the Chairman of Millwall John G. Berylson, has
written a personal note to all Millwall shareholders, as follows:
"Dear Shareholder and Fellow Supporter,
There are few times in our lives when the exercise of a vote can make a real
difference to the future of your club and company – but this is one. I hope you
will join me and your board and vote against the resolutions put forward by
Graham Ferguson Lacey.
For many thousands of Millwall's shareholders the priority is the football club.
Last season was challenging but we made major changes which I believe have now
set the club on a road to success. Recruiting Kenny Jackett and investing in
young players such as Laird, Grabban, Martin and recently Ashley Grimes are a
demonstration of your Board's commitment to
build a team for the future.
Our injuries last season, over fourteen senior players were out at varying
times, had major cost implications but we still invested. Many of you as fans
will appreciate it is football's unpredictability which leads to financial
changes but we maintained our focus to take a long term view.
At a critical time when the club was facing potential relegation Graham Ferguson
Lacey launched his first attack. The timing could not have been worse – when the
company needed stability the Board was faced with this challenge. It was
distracting and disruptive.
This single act alone reveals Graham Ferguson Lacey's lack of commitment and
concern for the football club. His comments on share price performance when most
shareholders in football clubs understand the volatility, is again a
demonstration of his lack of appreciation of what we are trying to do. The
successful completion of the regeneration project which the Board believes these
resolutions will impede, is key to a share price recovery. On this point alone I
would urge you to vote against his resolutions.
Let me now turn to the resolutions set out in the circular. Never in my time as
a chairman of a company, and I have many years of experience, have I encountered
this type of approach.
If you read them you will appreciate why the company's lawyers advised us that
they are both vexatious and ineffective. This is why your Directors declined to
convene a general meeting, as we are legally entitled to do in these
circumstances. In essence this was an attempt to secure back door control
without the responsibility and accountability which I, as Chairman, and the
Board assume.
Despite attempts to negotiate a constructive way forward Graham Ferguson Lacey
has refused to withdraw his resolutions.
May I remind you that at the EGM last year over 90% of shareholders including
Graham Ferguson Lacey voted in favour of the financial arrangements with my
family company, Chestnut Hill Ventures LLC. At this time Graham Ferguson Lacey
was offered a seat on the boards of the company and the club, which would have
ensured his involvement yet he refused to take up the appointments. This would
have been a normal way for him to play a proper role and take responsibility.
Regeneration is a complex process where planning requirements are changing, with
a need for confidentiality until the company is able to consult more widely.
Your Directors have been working with the local authority together with a team
of advisers drawn from some of the best practices in the country to make
progress. Graham Ferguson Lacey's resolutions requiring that we call
shareholders' meetings to consult on the Company's plans are unworkable. Calling
just this meeting will have cost the company over fifty thousand pounds and
consumed valuable time – both of which would be better invested in the club and
the regeneration.
I as your Chairman, and with my board colleagues and our advisors are acting to
secure the best result for the shareholders, fans and the community.
If Graham Ferguson Lacey wants to have a say he should take up his board seat
and accept responsibility as I and the rest of your Board do.
I urge you to show your support to your club and company and vote against the

In training my dogs I am loathe to use force. This is one of the reasons I hunt with Brittanies. When I researched the various breeds of gun dog I could choose from I found the Brittany best suited for the upland gunning I do here in Eastern Ontario and for my personality: I am a gentle man and a gentleman. I talked to Brittany breeders and read up on the breed and learned that Brittanies are renowned for their eagerness to please their masters and are easy to train. I also learned also they need a soft hand in training; that and there is never an excuse to beat or mistreat a dog. Hera is my fourth Brittany and by far the toughest of the four. As with the three Brittanies who came before her (Christie, Maggie and Juno) I always make certain Hera enjoys her time afield and that every outing ends on a positive note. This does not mean I never have to correct her, but in doing so I use force only as a last resort. True to the breed, Hera is eager to please her master and is happiest when she is in my good graces. When it comes to meting out discipline, usually scolding her in my sergeant-major voice is sufficient. She responds with contrition and I am careful to forgive her and assure her she is still my girl. Continue reading
Remembering Peter Hobkirk, a yeoman Yorkshireman and friend of mine.
I learned this morning that Peter Hobkirk passed away last week after a brief battle with leukemia. His son Paul informed me that on Wednesday June 14, Peter "died courageously and peacefully with myself, my dear mum, and my lovely sister by his side." Peter was a Yorkshireman, English through and through. With his loving wife Valerie, he moved his young family, their son Paul and their daughter Sally, to Canada to seek their fortune, but kept his ties to his homeland. He enjoyed watching football matches (soccer to North Americans) on television while sipping a pint. Peter and his family made regular trips back to Yorkshire. Here in Canada, he worked in the dairy business in the production and marketing of milk. Peter and I shared an interest in agriculture. I grew up in the country and worked on dairy farms as a teenager. I remember fondly an afternoon we spent together discussing his career in the dairy business and our favourite breeds of livestock.
Peter was a kind, generous and gregarious man. I met him and his wife Valerie through my friendship with their son Paul. Peter and Valerie made their home on an acreage outside Spencerville and graciously allowed me and my hunting buddies access to the property for hunting. Over the years I had great upland and big game hunting opportunities on their property. Peter was not a hunter himself, but he had a deep love of the natural world and understood the realities of life in the wild. The fish pond in their garden is home to frogs and other pond creatures. The bird feeders they maintain attract a myriad of songbird species. The property holds a variety of game and non-game species. I had a great time sharing news of sightings, particularly of the swans that frequent the area, with Peter and Val. I shot my first deer on the property in 2012. Peter was ever ready to bring his tractor out into the field to help recover a downed deer.
Peter and Val were a great help to me when I developed my English accent for the stage. I am an amateur actor and I was cast in roles where it was required that I perform using an English accent. They assured me my stage English accent was convincing, something I very much appreciate. Peter and Val never failed to offer hospitality. My hunting buddies and I were always welcomed into their home before and after a hunt. He and Val always offered refreshment and were interested in hearing about our adventures. My hunting buddies and I are happily mentoring Peter's grandson, Adam, as he joins the hunting fraternity. We will see he becomes an ethical and safety conscious sportsman.
Peter Hobkirk was a good and decent man, the salt of the earth. I am blessed that I knew him and will cherish the memories I have of the time I had with him. May he rest in peace.

The things that make you late for work
I was late for work this morning. I was running late from the moment I woke up shortly before 6:00 am and let Hera out into the garden through the kitchen door. I had a quick breakfast, Weetabix with fresh blueberries, milk and a little brown sugar. When I finished my breakfast I went to the kitchen door to see if Hera wanted in and to my surprise saw a black squirrel sitting atop a fence post overlooking the garden. The squirrel seemed to be taunting Hera, scurrying around the top of the fence post and short distances across the fence as Hera calmly watched as she reclined on the porch. "Oh, you foolish squirrel," I thought, "you really should not underestimate my Hera. She is no house pet, rather a keen little huntress who views you as prey." I left Hera to her hunt and continued getting ready to leave for work.
It took me about twenty five minutes to shave, shower, floss, brush my teeth and dress. It was almost 6:30 am when I came downstairs, grabbed my lunch from the fridge, put it in my backpack and went to let Hera in. I had ten minutes to make my way quickly to the bus stop to catch the 6:40 bus to work. When I got to the kitchen door to let Hera in, there was no sign of her. Usually, she waits on the porch for me to let her in. "I hope she did not find a way out of the garden in chasing the squirrel," I thought. I opened the door and stepped out onto the porch and called her. There was no response so I walked down the steps off the porch to look into the back of the garden. It was then I saw Hera standing proudly over the carcass of the squirrel that foolishly taunted her a short time ago. As soon as she saw me, she picked up the squirrel and bounded up the steps, across the porch, through the open kitchen door and up the stairs to the second floor.
"Okay," I sighed, "I'll catch the 7:00 am bus to work." Hera was very pleased with herself, but followed my lead as I brought her outside to the garden. Once outside, she grudgingly gave up her prize when I told her "give." I put the hapless squirrel in the green bin and rewarded Hera with a cookie back in the kitchen. As I made my way to the bus stop I thought about how much enjoyment I get from having Hera as my gun dog despite the minor inconvenience of being a little late for work.

No mercy
To date I shot one coyote in all my days afield. It was on the opening of the white-tailed deer season, the season before last. I had a buck tag and saw a nice doe come and go while I sat in my stand at the farm near Spencerville where my hunting buddies and I hunt deer. A while after I saw the doe, a coyote wandered into view in front of me. I killed it cleanly with my Browning X-bolt Medallion rifle (left-hand) 30-06 with a 150 gr. bullet. The carcass was left for scavengers and my buddy Jason Quinn, a seasoned hunter and trapper, assured me I did the right thing. Still, I had mixed feelings afterward. I am told coyotes in Eastern Ontario are pests, a threat to livestock and pets. I understood this concern, or so I thought, but decided after killing my first coyote varmint hunting was not for me. What concerned me was the thought this is too close to killing for the sake of killing rather than hunting. I preferred leaving the shooting of coyotes to other hunters, that is, until a recent incident that involved me, my dog Hera and a pack of coyotes. Continue reading
Merry Christmas!
Saturday morning, December 17th, started out a little unusual. Mika's flight to Regina, originally scheduled for the day before, was cancelled due to bad weather in Toronto. I was supposed to drop him off at the airport for 9:00 am Saturday morning, but this flight was delayed. The plan was for me to drop off Mika at the airport then pick up Jason and his dog Nos (Hera was already on board) for a morning dog run. Along with the dog run Jason and I were going to tend a few errands. Jason needed to go to the bank to deposit a rebate cheque he received from Browning. I needed to take my Browning X-bolt Medallion rifle to Gunco, the gunsmith we use, to have the broken cleaning rod removed from the barrel. I needed to get a replacement cleaning kit for the rifle also. As Christmas is a week away, I still needed to buy a few more gifts including one for Jason's daughter, Rose. It was well after 10:00 am when I arrived at Jason's house. We hit the bank on the way to Gunco. The cleaning rod was safely removed from my rifle barrel and as we browsed the array of second hand shotguns and rifles for sale I caught sight of a left-hand bolt action rifle. It was a Tikka T3 in .300 WSM with a synthetic stock. "Nice gun," I thought and the price (between $800-$900) was reasonable. Continue reading
"Hunt the edges" — Shirley E. Woods Jr.
"Hunt the edges," wrote Shirley E. Woods Jr. in his memoir Gunning for upland birds and wildfowl. This is sound advice if you want to get into grouse and woodcock while out hunting. In fact, I learned over the many seasons I hunted grouse and woodcock it is the premise on which successful upland gunning is founded. An edge is where two different types of wildlife habitat meet. Where three or more types of wildlife habitat meet is called a corner. These are the areas to hunt when you want to get into birds whether you hunt over a dog or not. I had this thought in mind Sunday morning, November 6th, the day before the opening of deer season, when I drove to pick up Akber, one of my newer hunting buddies, and his son Abbas who is ten years old. One of the pleasures of hunting for me is mentoring new hunters, sharing with them what I learned over the years and most importantly, guiding them to becoming safe and ethical hunters. Akber and I became hunting buddies three seasons ago if memory serves and this year his son Abbas expressed interest in coming along. I accompanied my father and uncle in the field when I was nine years old and enjoyed myself so I welcomed the opportunity to introduce Abbas to join us in the field. Continue reading
Trial, error and a nine point buck in the bag
I never fully appreciated big game hunting until I shot my first white-tailed buck yesterday afternoon on the opening day of the 2016 rifle season here in Eastern Ontario. I took up big game hunting in earnest in 2011 under the tutelage of my good friend and hunting buddy Jason Quinn. Jay is an accomplished big game hunter with a lifetime of experience in the pursuit of white-tailed deer, moose and black bear. Under his guidance I shot my first white-tailed deer, a doe, in the 2012 rifle season. While killing my first deer was a thrill in its own right, the hunt I experienced yesterday was the culmination of all that is good in hunting: notably the challenges, camaraderie , effort, joys, sorrows and sportsmanship associated with hunting. The buck, my first, was hunted down and killed in a fair chase. I felled it using my Browning X-Bold Medallion bolt action rifle (left-hand) in 30-06 with a Winchester Super X 150 grain bullet. What this experience showed is I remain a novice deer hunter and with Jay as friend and mentor I am learning through trial and error.

Planning the perfect picnic
So did you know that Sunday was International Picnic Day? Luckily the weather was absolutely gorgeous so it was easy to get outside and do some alfresco snacking. Of course planning the perfect picnic really shouldn't include limp sandwiches and sweaty salads – I think the key to an impressive picnic is to mix a few things you've made yourself with a selection of ready made bits and bobs, blurring the edges so nobody quite knows which is which. I've been trying out a few items from Tesco's brand new Mediterranean-inspired Deli range, and they fit the bill perfectly: you can eat many of the items hot or cold, and there are loads of tasty little bits and pieces perfect for eating with your fingers.

Junior Colleges Tiny Town celebrated World Book Day together with Dr Seuss Day.
Tiny Town teacher, Karusha Pillay dressed up as Cat in the Hat, a very well-known Dr Seuss character.
Dr Seuss is the master of wordplay and lovable, unforgettable characters. Children at Junior Colleges Tiny Town revisited their favourite Dr Seuss stories in honour of his birthday and World Book Day.
It is a known fact that reading to children at an early age and encouraging them to be book lovers, adds to the child's literacy development.

Dr Seuss books have the magical blend of education and entertainment. With enchanting worlds and wonderful creatures, both familiar and unfamiliar.
Dr Seuss teaches young readers many admirable life lessons. The Lorax is an example of a lovely book for teaching children the importance of caring for the environment and earth's natural resources. Junior Colleges children's favourite Dr Seuss saying is: "If you never did you should; these things are fun and fun is good."

Harlem Globetrotters
This season, the Globetrotters will celebrate their 90th anniversary the only way they know how: with a jaw-dropping blend of athletic precision and razzle-dazzle showmanship that has entertained hundreds of millions of fans over the past nine decades. Throughout the team's lengthy tour, a rotating roster of Globetrotter favorites—including a pair of female players—will take to the hardwood each game. Spectators might spot veteran guard TNT sharing a behind-the-back pass with dunker Thunder, who also holds the world record for longest basketball shot at 109 feet and 9 inches. The Globetrotters might also present a study in contrasts with 5-foot-2 Too Tall and 7-foot-4 Stretch, the team's tallest member.
Each game gives the Globetrotters' jovial jocks a chance to extend their decades-long dominance, all while new generations of fans laugh along and witness classic routines of unconventional passing and sudden transmutations of water into confetti. Over the years, similar antics have followed the Globetrotters around the world, including to 122 countries and territories and all six continents on which basketballs grow naturally. The Globetrotters' extensive travels haven't gone unnoticed: they're one of the few teams to earn a spot in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame as ambassadors of the sport.

Help & Support » Getting Started » Connecting to the Grid
Once you have the client installed and an account approved you can connect to and login to the Opensimulator. The Imprudence and Hippo clients both have grid managers built in. The Second Life client is purpose built and does not easily support multiple services. The information needed to connect is a special web address called a Login URI. The URI for this grid is http://nzvwg.otago.ac.nz:8002
The Firestorm Viewer configures its grids through the Preferences menu (ctrl+P) under the Opensim section. Simply enter the Login URI in the Add Grid box.
On the Hippo and Imprudence clients' opening screen you will see a dropdown to select a grid and a Grid Manager button. This may vary depending on the version and type of client. It is on the right hand side of the Hippo 0.63 client's login screen. These examples are from the Imprudence 1.40 client.
Go into the grid manager and select "Add New Grid". Again this may not look quite the same as this example from the Imprudence viewer.
For gridname enter NZVWG. For Login URI enter http://nzvwg.otago.ac.nz:8002
Now click on Get Grid Info. It should fill in the other information such as login page, account, etc as shown below. Not all will be filled in. For some grids this may be none. However you should not expect any error even if the fields remain blank. If you get an error such as "unable to get grid info" then check your login URI.
Otherwise click OK to return to the client's opening screen. Current Imprudence clients may complain about an empty entry at this point, ignore it.
You should now be able to select the nzvwg grid from the drop down list on the opening screen and login using your avatar name and password. To reduce clutter you can go back into the grid manager and delete most of the other grids.
Once you are logged in you can have a look around.
Until you select a home location the simulator may have said it cannot find your home and has selected a nearby region. This is expected. Use the "Set Home To Here" item on the "World" menu on the viewer to set the current location as your home.
If you are new to Opensimulator or Second Life then have a look at the pages on Moving Around.
