TORONTO (Reuters) - The lights were slowly coming on again Tuesday at thousands of homes in Eastern Canada, but some people will have to wait until New Year before their power returns, after gale-force winds over the weekend caused widespread outages.
Electricity distributor Hydro One said it had restored power to 170,000 Ontario customers affected by Sunday's severe windstorm. By Tuesday afternoon, about 65,000 were still without power, the provincially owned utility said.
"Hydro One still expects most customers will have their power restored in the next 24 hours; however, some customers in more remote access locations such as islands could remain without power until January 1 or 2," it said in a release.
Most areas still without power were in central and eastern Ontario, Hydro One said.
Southern regions of Ontario and Quebec were blasted by winds of up to 100 km per hour (62 mph) on Sunday, which brought down power lines and trees, and damaged buildings across the two provinces.

We ship only in the continental USA
We all start somewhere in our
journey of doing what we love to do. My
creative journey started when I was
around 12 years old. As a young child I
watched and learned as my Dad, Uncle
and Grand Papa built pirogues in the
garage. It's quite an experience to go out
duck hunting in the marsh using a homemade pirogue (even
if I did flip over into the water a time or two)... These are the
kind of great memories that last a lifetime...!
They inspired me to learn a thing or two about the enjoyment of woodworking and being
I built my soap box Derby cars in the same garage from age 12,
13 & 14 and raced them down the Wisner Blvd overpass during those
years. I have renovated and restored old wood yachts and sailboats and
built furniture. My wife and I enjoy participating
in many art shows with my wood art.
"I consider each and every step of the
pieces I design and build as my masterpiece…
because I want the finished product to reflect
the quality and creativeness of my work. I study
and evaluate each piece so I can get ideas and details that will evolve in my
future creations.
When I am doing this I feel that I am having entirely too
much fun...!
Like the old saying goes "it's not the destination...
it's the journey" However, I also feel that each destination reached is great because
it means a new journey is now beginning...and this new
journey will be even exciting and fun because of things I've
learned and experienced during my last journey.
My most important expectation is that I will continually be able to do what I am
really passionate about doing.
If a person cannot be satisfied with their own work they most certainly
cannot expect others to appreciate every step that has gone into
creating it." ...Greg Little

Lake Austin Build Along
Foam Insulation
Our Lake Austin build passed its city inspection this week and had open cell foam insulation blown in yesterday. Stone masons were busy working on the home all week and a large group of workmen were on site. By the time the Best Insulation crew had their trailer set up on site, the home was a beehive of activity. Because all windows were covered with plastic sheeting, the house got hot quickly.
What is Open Cell Foam
The type of spray Polyurethane foam (SPF) used in the build distinctly impacts project costs, application methods, and building performance. When foam is installed in a home a cellular plastic is being made on site. For simplicity, think of it as bubbles in a bubble bath. The insulation cures very quickly and of course is dry once cured, unlike the bubbles in a bubble bath.
Open vs. Closed Cell Structure
Open-cell foam consists of tiny bubbles or cells that aren't fully encapsulated; they are broken, torn or ripped. Because they're broken, air fills the open space inside the bubble, which results in a soft, spongy material.
Closed-cell foam differs in that every bubble or cell that makes up the foam is completely encapsulated and packed tightly together. The bubbles aren't filled with air, but rather a gas that aids foam expansion and insulation properties. This results in an altogether harder material than open-cell foam.
The blowing agent, which aids in forming the bubbles or cells that make up foam structure, is usually water for open-cell and high-R-value chemicals for closed-cell. Closed-cell foam is roughly four times as dense as open-cell for insulation applications.
Why Open Cell Foam?
Open cell foam insulation is a high performance building material that offers advantages over traditional fiberglass insulation.
Here are a few advantages:
- Reduced labor and waste
- Sound proofing qualities
- Easy application over curved and irregular surfaces
- Resistance to water damage
- All-in-one insulator and air barrier
- Improved indoor air quality
- Savings on heating and cooling cost
The Install
We sprayed a two-component open cell foam in the lake house. First, two chemical ingredients were mixed together on-site using special trailer mounted equipment. Then, heated hoses conveyed the components to a mixing gun that sprayed the chemicals on the surfaces to be insulated. A chemical reaction began as soon as the chemicals were mixed. The liquid spray mixture foamed, expanded, and eventually hardened to fill all the void spaces.
Adrian, our project manager, cut this video of spray day. Notice the installers wearing Tyvek™ suits and respirators for protection from chemicals and noxious fumes.
Thanks for following our Lake Austin Build Along project. Check back in soon to see the progress.
We want to hear about your project, even if it's just an idea. Visit our site to see why we've been Austin's builder for 25 years.

DUNLAP, TEXAS (Cottle County). Dunlap, on U.S. Highway 83 eight miles north of Paducah in north central Cottle County, was settled in 1906, when OX Ranch owners Sam White and Doss Swearingen sold portions of the ranch to J. M. Abbott and W. B. Dunlap. In 1908 the community gained a post office, which operated until 1970. A cotton gin was also at Dunlap for some years. The community's population was reported as 100 in 1915 and as 113 in 1940 but declined to thirty by 1980. A school operated in Dunlap from 1908 until 1936, when local students were sent to Paducah. In the 1970s most Dunlap residents worshipped at the First Methodist Church or the Church of Christ. The community's population was still thirty in 1990, but had dropped to ten by 2000.

Rengar Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hi guys , since we have plenty of players wanted a Rengar guide , I'll make one here :)
My IGN is 狮子狗 in SEA/Garena SG/MY server. I am a Diamond 4 solo queue , challenger rank team player. My favorite champion is Rengar :)
This will be a very simple guide. (Sorry)
Item build is depends on your gameplay , but I would explain some item for Rengar.
Sword of the Occult - I would usually buy this item on first/second back to snowball faster. It's okay if you lose your stacks early , keep this item , you will gain your stacks later on by snowballing , catching enemy's ADC or Mid. (Not Core item but very useful)
Tiamat / Ravenous Hydra - Tiamat is a MUST. Ravenous Hydra is not a must in early. You can stay at tiamat until your 3rd/4th item. It's not too late. We get tiamat just for the trigger , lifesteal is not important till later on. (Core item)
Youmuu Ghostblade - Yes , this is a must too. Crit chance , armor pen and movementspeed/atkspd boost. This will be your 2nd/3rd item after tiamat.(Core item)
Last Whisper - Important item , one of the item to make your "1-shot" successful. This would be 3rd/4th item. If you do not like this , you can go Infinity Edge instead.
Infinity Edge - Massive damage from this item , especially with crit. Can be your 3rd/4th item , and also can be your last item too , if you have Sword of the Occult earlier.
Boots: CDR/Mobility -
Base on your choice , personally I use CDR boots if I'm snowballing my lane(top). And mobility boots if I have to roam a lot (can't win lane) especially against Irelia at top , she beats you HARD at 6 onwards .
Phantom Dancer - Crit chance , movement speed. Buy this item after each of these items - Last Whisper / Infinity Edge / Sword of the Occult. If you don't like this , you can try Statikk Shiv or Triforce. They all do pretty good :)
My Item Path/Build/Playstyle/Plan/General Guide
Rengar is actually a VERY WEAK champion. Any champion win Rengar EASILY if you misplay. Especially Panthoen/Irelia. Try to be aggro and first blood your enemy at top lane before 6 , where all the top champ powerspikes high. After 6 , make use of your teleport and go mid/btm along with your ulti to gank.
I would start with 1 long sword/ 3 pots.
First back - Sword of the Occult/Brutalizer/ Pickaxe - Tiamat , some pots , ward
Early first back - long swords , boot , pot , ward
Jungling -
Machete + 2 pot (Start at the side where your adc and sp belong , you will need hard leash)
Blue team - start golems (btm side)
Red team - start frog (btm side)
After golem/frog -> Own Red Buff. DO not take blue first, you will be wasting your hp.
After red buff -> raptors and try to gank mid/top. After that , continues to clear your jungle and go back.
Look for Blue or Purple Smite. I prefer purple , more sustain. And tiamat would be your second item, follow up by youmuu as your 3rd.
My Item Path(SotO) -> Sword of the Occult - Tiamat - Youmuu - Last Whisper - Hydra - Phantom Dancer (Boots in between , if you have more gold , replace Sword of the occult with IE and boots with Triforce or another PD)
My Item Path 2(Without SOTO) -> Tiamat - Youmuu - Infinity Edge/Last Whisper - Phantom Dancer - Hydra - Infinity Edge/Lastwhisper (Boots in between , if you have more gold , replace Sword of the occult with IE and boots with Triforce or another PD)
Rengar 1 shot combo and other combo/Ending
1 shot : Ulti -> Youmuu -> When near your target , press Q -> click on your target -> in midair use Tiamat/E/W
Ganking : Ulti -> click on the target ->mid air empowered E FIRST -> W -> use Q to animation cancel your first AA
Tiamat/Q AA animation cancel -> After auto attack , immediately Q then tiamat.
Remember , do not aim their front line. Aim for their mid/carry. Before you jump in , make sure you can get out alive. Look for position , don't just walk through their whole team to go in.
Another tip , try not to fight teamfight without ulti no matter what , except if you are in bushes.
Why don't go tank? Not my playstyle , 1 shotting the enemy is more fun than slowly fight till someone dies.
Rengar is not easy champion to play , in my opinion , overall it is a weak champion. BUT it can be some HYPER CARRIES if you can snowball , get fed , and play it well.

Tabasalu (Estonia) 31 August 2014 –Under sunny skies and with a good crowd on hand the penultimate round of the FIM Supermoto World Championship and SM2 European Championship at Tabasalu, Estonia proved to be one of the most defining races of the 2014 season.
Toni Klem strolled to an unchallenged victory to secure his first overall win in SM2 while an action-packed, drama-filled day saw Thomas Chareyere emerge as the new leader, and likely winner of the S1 World Championship as Mauno Hermunen saw his four point lead turned into a fourteen point deficit with one round remaining.
With temperatures considerably warmer than they were on Saturday the action out on track in race one proved to be even hotter, particularly between the top two riders Mauno Hermunen and Thomas Chareyre who resumed their fight for the S1 World Championship.
Hermunen made the most of his pole position by reaching turn one in first place, but it wasn't long before the SHR TM rider realized he would be in for a tough time and on lap three saw his closest rival Thomas Chareyre come flying past on his Factory TM.
The action between the two TM's was intense as you would expect but as the race wore on, Chareyre was able to pull clear by more than five seconds when the chequered flag fell. More importantly, that victory saw the Frenchman Chareyre reduce the gap in the title race to Hermunen to just a single point going into race two.
Behind them in a distant third place was Ivan Lazzarini; the L30 Racing rider was no match for Chareyre and Hermunen finishing twelve seconds adrift.
The Fast Wheels Aprilia of Adrien Chareyre who struggled for pace in the superchrono session looked to have fourth place nailed down, but the Frenchman did not factor in the challenge from Pavel Kejmar, and with two laps to go the 833 Racing Team Husqvarna rider from Czech Republic forced his way through picking up eighteen world championship points along the way. Adrien Chareyre had to settle for fifth.
S1 Race 1 Top Ten:1. CHAREYRE Thomas (FRA-TM) 20:06.337; 2. HERMUNEN Mauno (FIN-TM) 20:11.765; 3. LAZZARINI Ivan (ITA-Honda) 20:23.887; 4. KEJMAR Pavel (CZE-Husqvarna) 20:25.907; 5. CHAREYRE Adrien (FRA-Aprilia) 20:28.033; 6. RAVAGLIA Christian (ITA-Honda) 20:29.560; 7. TRAVNICEK Tomas (CZE-Yamaha) 20:29.620; 8. KARANYOTOV Angel (BUL-TM) 20:49.372; 9. VORLICEK Petr (CZE-Honda) 20:20.129; 10. PALS Patrick (EST-TM) 20:42.068.
S1 Race 2
It was an explosive start to S1 Race 2 as once again Mauno Hermunen took the holeshot, but the lead must have changed three or four times before the opening lap had past. Thomas Chareyre led at the end of lap one before handing back the advantage to Hermunen on lap two. For the next eight laps the two title challengers were locked together battling for the lead until a moment of madness from the Championship leader saw Hermunen push too hard in the off-road section and in an attempt to make the pass for the lead the Finn went down.
He remounted in fifth and pulled himself back to third, but knowing that the title was on the line and that Charyere would be the new leader going into the final round, Hermunen pushed too hard and fell once more with five laps to go; had he finished in third Chareyre would have been the new leader of the world championship by four points. Instead, Hermunen was unable to re-start his machine and would only pick up eleventh in the race but this now means that Thomas Chareyre has not only taken over the Championship lead but he now has a fourteen point advantage over Hermunen with just one round remaining.
Ivan Lazzarini, who started fourth on the opening lap worked hard all race long to get back to an eventual second place narrowly edging out Tomas Travnicek, Pavel Kejmar and Adrien Chareyre.
Thomas Chareyre's double-race win saw him stand on the top step of the podium with Ivan Lazzarini second overall with a third and a second. Third belonged to Pavel Kejmar who rode to two fourth place finishes on his Husqvarna.
S1 Race 2 top ten:1. CHAREYRE Thomas (FRA-TM) 20:15.298; 2. LAZZARINI Ivan (ITA-Honda) 20:18.601; 3. TRAVNICEK Tomas (CZE-Yamaha) 20:20.358; 4. KEJMAR Pavel (CZE-Husqvarna) 20:25.690; 5. CHAREYRE Adrien (FRA-Aprilia) 20:29.378; 6. KARANYOTOV Angel (BUL-TM) 20:29.900; 7. RAVAGLIA Christian (ITA-Honda) 20:35.631; 8. VORLICEK Petr (CZE-Honda) 20:22.815; 9. PALS Prants (EST-TM) 20:35.179; 10. PALS Patrick (EST-TM) 20:38.402.

After securing his first ever pole position in Saturday's timed training session Toni Klem wasn't about to let such an advantage pass him by and when the lights went out at the start of race one the KTM MTR rider made sure he arrived at turn one before everybody else, and from then on the Finn put in a faultless display to cruise to his first race win of the season, winning by more than eleven seconds.
Behind him though things were a little bit more frantic as Milan Sitniansky struggled to keep his Tuningmotorsport TM ahead of the Italian Fabrizio Bartolini and as the race neared it's end the Assomotor Honda mounted Bartolini continued to test Sitniansky with continuous attempts to overtake the Czech. But it was all to no avail and it was Sitniansky who claimed second with Bartolini third.
Fourth belonged to IFG Gazza Racing's Yuri Guardala while SM2 championship leader Asseri Kingelin failed to find his rhythm and the Fast Wheels Aprilia rider had to be content with fifth, allowing Bartolini to reduce the gap in the championship chase by four points.

SM2 Race 2
It was another faultless display from Toni Klem in SM2 race 2 as he strolled to another start-to-finish win by almost eight seconds over his fellow countryman, Asseri Kingelin to round out the perfect weekend; Klem took pole and converted it to a double-moto victory.
Fabrizio Bartolini started race two in second but was soon passed by Milan Sitnaiansky as championship leader Kingelin thought about how to move from fifth on the opening lap.
On Lap three Kingelin had moved into third when he past his nearest rival Bartolini, before moving into second on lap eight when Sitniansky pulled out of the race with a technical problem, ending any hopes of a podium in Estonia.
Bartolini finished an eventual third behind the two Finn's of Klem and Kingelin but with Kingelin taking second he was able to pull back two more points over Bartolini in the race for the title.
Sami Salstola was fourth and with Jan Forsten in fifth, Bartolini was the only non-Finnish rider in the top five.
Klem therefore took the overall victory, Bartolini was second with Klem third and Klem now has a thirteen-point advantage heading into the final round in two weeks time.

Moyes eyes Anichebe boost
Everton boss David Moyes hopes the return of Victor Anichebe will ease the team's goalscoring problems.
Last Updated: 26/11/10 4:28pm
Everton manager David Moyes hopes the return of Victor Anichebe will ease the team's goalscoring problems.
The 22-year-old striker has overcome a knee injury suffered in the summer and is in contention to face West Brom on Saturday.
Everton have been lacking firepower up front this season and the Toffees have only scored 16 goals in the Premier League.
Moyes believes Anichebe's comeback is a great positive, after the Nigeria international netted for the reserves against Liverpool in midweek.
"Victor got a game in the reserves, which was good," he said.
"It's good to get him back in the fold, he is an important player for us. If we can get him back fit he can do a job for us.
"He has not played much football recently but he gives us other options we have not had.
"He did really well in pre-season and he was going to give us something different to have around the team."
Anichebe has been plagued by injury in the last two years and prior to the start of the season he was out for 11 months with a knee problem.
The academy product is now set for another crack of the whip, and Moyes hopes he can stay fit.
He added: "He has been in and around the team for four or five years so he is not really a young lad.
"The frustration will come from his injuries and, in truth, he's been injured for the best part of two years now.
"He came into the team last year and had a good spell. We hope when he comes in he is ready to do well again."

St. Louis Cardinals vs. Philadelphia Phillies - 5/4/16 MLB Pick, Odds, and Prediction
Philadelphia Phillies (15-11) at St. Louis Cardinals (13-13)
MLB Baseball: Wednesday, May 4, 2016 at 8:15 pm (Busch Stadium)
Adam Morgan (0-0) (5.40) vs. M Leake (0-3) (5.83)
The Line: St. Louis Cardinals -170 / Philadelphia Phillies +160 --- Over/Under: 7.5 See the Latest Odds
The Philadelphia Phillies look to continue their recent success as they face off against the St. Louis Cardinals at Busch Stadium on Wednesday night.
The Phillies look to tip the oddsmakers once again and win their second game in as many nights as they face off against the St. Louis Cardinals in Missouri as they send Adam Morgan to the bump as he will face off against the struggling Mike Leake. Philadelphia heads into tonight's game with a surprising 15-11 record and they will look to keep rolling in the NL East with another win here against an underachieving Cardinals side who is starting to slip in many power rankings and out of contendership all together from others. Morgan will look for his first win of the season as he is 0-0 with a 5.40 ERA, while Leake sits with an 0-3 mark and a 5.83 ERA.
USA TODAY Sports
The Cardinals were shutout at home yesterday as their lackluster start continues but they have a great chance at getting back in the win column as their dormant bats look to break out against Adam Morgan and his climbing ERA. St. Louis continues to have a pretty solid roster across the board but they have fallen out of the league's elite and could very well be battling just to nab a wild card spot this season and in some lights that is even seen as a stretch as the years of St. Louis being the team to beat in the National League appear to be on hold.
The Phillies are 6-1 in their last seven games overall, 7-2 in their last nine road games, and 4-1 in their last five on a Wednesday while the Cards are 6-1 in their last seven during game three of a series, 4-1 in their last five home games against a lefty, and 87-41 in their last 128 home games. The Phils have been playing well but I don't expect to see that here as the Cards need a rebound effort and it comes here against Morgan.

Encyclical: 'Ecclesia de Eucharistia'
This afternoon, during the Mass of the Lord's Supper, John Paul II signed the Encyclical Letter 'Ecclesia de Eucharistia' To the Bishops, Priests and Deacons, Men and Women in the Consecrated Life and All the Lay Faithful on the Eucharist and Its Relationship to the Church. This encyclical, John Paul II's 14th, consists of an introduction, six chapters and a conclusion. It has been published in English, French, Spanish, Italian, German, Portuguese and Latin. Following are excerpts: INTRODUCTION "The Church draws her life from the Eucharist. This truth does not simply express a daily experience of faith, but recapitulates the heart of the mystery of the Church." "From the time I began my ministry as the Successor of Peter, I have always marked Holy Thursday, the day of the Eucharist and of the priesthood, by sending a letter to all the priests of the world. This year, the twenty-fifth of my Pontificate, I wish to involve the whole Church more fully in this Eucharistic reflection, also as a way of thanking the Lord for the gift of the Eucharist and the priesthood: "Gift and Mystery." ... How could I not feel the need to urge everyone to experience it ever anew" "The Eucharist, as Christ's saving presence in the community of the faithful and its spiritual food, is the most precious possession which the Church can have in her journey through history." "Certainly the liturgical reform inaugurated by the Council has greatly contributed to a more conscious, active and fruitful participation in the Holy Sacrifice of the Altar. ... The devout participation of the faithful in the Eucharistic procession on the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ is a grace from the Lord which yearly brings joy to those who take part in it." "Alongside these lights, there are also shadows. In some places the practice of Eucharistic adoration has been almost completely abandoned. In various parts of the Church abuses have occurred, leading to confusion with regard to sound faith and Catholic doctrine concerning this wonderful sacrament. At times one encounters an extremely reductive understanding of the Eucharistic mystery. Stripped of its sacrificial meaning, it is celebrated as if it were simply a fraternal banquet. Furthermore, the necessity of the ministerial priesthood, grounded in apostolic succession, is at times obscured and the sacramental nature of the Eucharist is reduced to its mere effectiveness as a form of proclamation. This has led here and there to ecumenical initiatives which, albeit well-intentioned, indulge in Eucharistic practices contrary to the discipline by which the Church expresses her faith. How can we not express profound grief at all this The Eucharist is too great a gift to tolerate ambiguity and depreciation. It is my hope that the present Encyclical Letter will effectively help to banish the dark clouds of unacceptable doctrine and practice, so that the Eucharist will continue to shine forth in all its radiant mystery." I. MYSTERY OF THE FAITH "When the Church celebrates the Eucharist, the memorial of her Lord's death and resurrection, this central event of salvation becomes really present and 'the work of our redemption is carried out'... Mystery: a great mystery, a mystery of mercy. What more could Jesus have done for us Truly, in the Eucharist, he shows us a love which goes 'to the end', a love which knows no measure." "The Mass makes present the sacrifice of the Cross; it does not add to that sacrifice nor does it multiply it. The sacrificial nature of the Eucharistic mystery cannot therefore be understood as something separate, independent of the Cross or only indirectly referring to the sacrifice of Calvary." II. THE EUCHARIST BUILDS THE CHURCH "Eucharistic communion also confirms the Church in her unity as the body of Christ." "The worship of the Eucharist outside of the Mass is of inestimable value for the life of the Church. This worship is strictly linked to the celebration of the Eucharistic Sacrifice. The presence of Christ under the sacred species reserved after Mass a presence which lasts as long as the species of bread and of wine remain - derives from the celebration of the sacrifice and is directed towards communion, both sacramental and spiritual. It is the responsibility of Pastors to encourage, also by their personal witness, the practice of Eucharistic adoration, and exposition of the Blessed Sacrament in particular, as well as prayer of adoration before Christ present under the Eucharistic species. ... How can we not feel a renewed need to spend time in spiritual converse, in silent adoration, in heartfelt love before Christ present in the Most Holy Sacrament How often, dear brother and sisters, have I experienced this, and drawn from it strength, consolation and support!" III. THE APOSTOLICITY OF THE EUCHARIST AND OF THE CHURCH "It is in continuity with the practice of the Apostles, in obedience to the Lord's command, that the Church has celebrated the Eucharist down the centuries." "The ministry of priests who have received the sacrament of Holy Orders, in the economy of salvation chosen by Christ, makes clear that the Eucharist which they celebrate is a gift which radically transcends the power of the assembly and is in any event essential for validly linking the Eucharistic consecration to the sacrifice of the Cross and to the Last Supper." "The assembly gathered together for the celebration of the Eucharist, if it is to be a truly Eucharistic assembly, absolutely requires the presence of an ordained priest as its president. On the other hand, the community is by itself incapable of providing an ordained minister. This minister is a gift which the assembly receives through episcopal succession going back to the Apostles." "The Catholic faithful, therefore, while respecting the religious convictions of these separated brethren, must refrain from receiving the communion distributed in their celebrations, so as not to condone an ambiguity about the nature of the Eucharist and, consequently, to fail in their duty to bear clear witness to the truth. This would result in slowing the progress being made towards full visible unity. Similarly, it is unthinkable to substitute for Sunday Mass ecumenical celebrations of the word or services of common prayer with Christians from the aforementioned Ecclesial Communities, or even participation in their own liturgical services. Such celebrations and services, however praiseworthy in certain situations, prepare for the goal of full communion, including Eucharistic communion, but they cannot replace it." "The Eucharistic Sacrifice ... is the centre and root of the whole priestly life. We can understand, then, how important it is for the spiritual life of the priest, as well as for the good of the Church and the world, that priests follow the Council's recommendation to celebrate the Eucharist daily," where they find "the true centre of their lives and ministry the spiritual strength needed to deal with their different pastoral responsibilities. Their daily activity will thus become truly Eucharistic." "The centrality of the Eucharist in the life and ministry of priests is the basis of its centrality in the pastoral promotion of priestly vocations." Christ often serves as "the example of a priest's fervent pastoral charity which the Lord uses to sow and to bring to fruition in a young man's heart the seed of a priestly calling." "When, due to the scarcity of priests, non-ordained members of the faithful are entrusted with a share in the pastoral care of a parish, they should bear in mind that as the Second Vatican Council teaches no Christian community can be built up unless it has its basis and centre in the celebration of the most Holy Eucharist. They have a responsibility, therefore, to keep alive in the community a genuine 'hunger' for the Eucharist, so that no opportunity for the celebration of Mass will ever be missed, also taking advantage of the occasional presence of a priest who is not impeded by Church law from celebrating Mass." IV. THE EUCHARIST AND ECCLESIAL COMMUNION "The Church is called during her earthly pilgrimage to maintain and promote communion with the Triune God and communion among the faithful. For this purpose she possesses the word and the sacraments, particularly the Eucharist, by which she 'constantly lives and grows' and in which she expresses her very nature. It is not by chance that the term communion has become one of the names given to this sublime sacrament." "The celebration of the Eucharist, however, cannot be the starting-point for communion; it presupposes that communion already exists, a communion which it seeks to consolidate and bring to perfection. ... both in its invisible dimension, which ... unites us to the Father and among ourselves, and in its visible dimension, which entails communion in the teaching of the Apostles, in the sacraments and in the Church's hierarchical order." "Invisible communion, though by its nature always growing, presupposes the life of grace, by which we become 'partakers of the divine nature', and the practice of the virtues of faith, hope and love." "The Catechism of the Catholic Church rightly stipulates that 'anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to communion'. I therefore desire to reaffirm that in the Church there remains in force, now and in the future, the rule by which the Council of Trent gave concrete expression to the Apostle Paul's stern warning when it affirmed that, in order to receive the Eucharist in a worthy manner, 'one must first confess one's sins, when one is aware of mortal sin'." "The judgment of one's state of grace obviously belongs only to the person involved, since it is a question of examining one's conscience. However, in cases of outward conduct which is seriously, clearly and steadfastly contrary to the moral norm, the Church, in her pastoral concern for the good order of the community and out of respect for the sacrament, cannot fail to feel directly involved. The Code of Canon Law refers to this situation of a manifest lack of proper moral disposition when it states that those who 'obstinately persist in manifest grave sin' are not to be admitted to Eucharistic communion." "Ecclesial communion, as I have said, is likewise visible. ... The Eucharist, as the supreme sacramental manifestation of communion in the Church, demands to be celebrated in a context where the outward bonds of communion are also intact. ... It requires that the bonds of communion in the sacraments, particularly in Baptism and in priestly Orders, be real. It is not possible to give communion to a person who is not baptized or to one who rejects the full truth of the faith regarding the Eucharistic mystery." "Furthermore, it must be recalled that 'the Eucharistic Sacrifice, while always offered in a particular community, is never a celebration of that community alone'. ... The ecclesial communion of the Eucharistic assembly is a communion with its own Bishop and with the Roman Pontiff." "The Eucharist creates communion and fosters communion." "The Eucharist's particular effectiveness in promoting communion is one of the reasons for the importance of Sunday Mass. ... in my Apostolic Letter on the sanctification of Sunday Dies Domini. I recalled that the faithful have the obligation to attend Mass, unless they are seriously impeded, and that Pastors have the corresponding duty to see that it is practical and possible for all to fulfil this precept." "In considering the Eucharist as the sacrament of ecclesial communion, there is one subject which, due to its importance, must not be overlooked: I am referring to the relationship of the Eucharist to ecumenical activity." "Precisely because the Church's unity, which the Eucharist brings about through the Lord's sacrifice and by communion in his body and blood, absolutely requires full communion in the bonds of the profession of faith, the sacraments and ecclesiastical governance, it is not possible to celebrate together the same Eucharistic liturgy until those bonds are fully re-established. Any such concelebration would not be a valid means, and might well prove instead to be an obstacle, to the attainment of full communion, by weakening the sense of how far we remain from this goal and by introducing or exacerbating ambiguities with regard to one or another truth of the faith. The path towards full unity can only be undertaken in truth. In this area, the prohibitions of Church law leave no room for uncertainty,in fidelity to the moral norm laid down by the Second Vatican Council." "While it is never legitimate to concelebrate in the absence of full communion, the same is not true with respect to the administration of the Eucharist under special circumstances, to individual persons belonging to Churches or Ecclesial Communities not in full communion with the Catholic Church. In this case, in fact, the intention is to meet a grave spiritual need for the eternal salvation of an individual believer, not to bring about an intercommunion which remains impossible until the visible bonds of ecclesial communion are fully re established." V. THE DIGNITY OF THE EUCHARISTIC CELEBRATION "The Eucharistic Banquet is truly a 'sacred' banquet, in which the simplicity of the signs conceals the unfathomable holiness of God: O sacrum convivium, in quo Christus sumitur!" "With this heightened sense of mystery, we understand how the faith of the Church in the mystery of the Eucharist has found historical expression not only in the demand for an interior disposition of devotion, but also in outward forms meant to evoke and emphasize the grandeur of the event being celebrated. This led progressively to the development of a particular form of regulating the Eucharistic liturgy, with due respect for the various legitimately constituted ecclesial traditions." "The designs of altars and tabernacles within Church interiors were often not simply motivated by artistic inspiration but also by a clear understanding of the mystery. ... Similarly, can we overlook the enormous quantity of artistic production, ranging from fine craftsmanship to authentic works of art, in the area of Church furnishings and vestments used for the celebration of the Eucharist ... Within this context of an art aimed at expressing, in all its elements, the meaning of the Eucharist in accordance with the Church's teaching, attention needs to be given to the norms regulating the construction and decor of sacred buildings." "In my numerous Pastoral Visits I have seen, throughout the world, the great vitality which the celebration of the Eucharist can have when marked by the forms, styles and sensibilities of different cultures. ... It is necessary, however, that this important work of adaptation be carried out with a constant awareness of the ineffable mystery against which every generation is called to measure itself. The 'treasure' is too important and precious to risk impoverishment or compromise through forms of experimentation or practices introduced without a careful review on the part of the competent ecclesiastical authorities. Furthermore, the centrality of the Eucharistic mystery demands that any such review must be undertaken in close association with the Holy See." "It must be lamented that, especially in the years following the post-conciliar liturgical reform, as a result of a misguided sense of creativity and adaptation there have been a number of abuses which have been a source of suffering for many. A certain reaction against 'formalism' has led some, especially in certain regions, to consider the 'forms' chosen by the Church's great liturgical tradition and her Magisterium as non-binding and to introduce unauthorized innovations which are often completely inappropriate." "I consider it my duty, therefore to appeal urgently that the liturgical norms for the celebration of the Eucharist be observed with great fidelity. These norms are a concrete expression of the authentically ecclesial nature of the Eucharist; this is their deepest meaning. Liturgy is never anyone's private property, be it of the celebrant or of the community in which the mysteries are celebrated." "Our time, too, calls for a renewed awareness and appreciation of liturgical norms as a reflection of, and a witness to, the one universal Church made present in every celebration of the Eucharist. ... Precisely to bring out more clearly this deeper meaning of liturgical norms, I have asked the competent offices of the Roman Curia to prepare a more specific document, including prescriptions of a juridical nature, on this very important subject. No one is permitted to undervalue the mystery entrusted to our hands: it is too great for anyone to feel free to treat it lightly and with disregard for its sacredness and its universality." VI. AT THE SCHOOL OF MARY, "WOMAN OF THE EUCHARIST" "If we wish to rediscover in all its richness the profound relationship between the Church and the Eucharist, we cannot neglect Mary, Mother and model of the Church. ... In a certain sense Mary lived her Eucharistic faith even before the institution of the Eucharist, by the very fact that she offered her virginal womb for the Incarnation of God's Word. ... Mary, throughout her life at Christ's side and not only on Calvary, made her own the sacrificial dimension of the Eucharist." "In the Eucharist the Church is completely united to Christ and his sacrifice, and makes her own the spirit of Mary. This truth can be understood more deeply by re-reading the Magnificat in a Eucharistic key. The Eucharist, like the Canticle of Mary, is first and foremost praise and thanksgiving." CONCLUSION "Several years ago I celebrated the fiftieth anniversary of my priesthood. Today I have the grace of offering the Church this Encyclical on the Eucharist on the Holy Thursday which falls during the twenty-fifth year of my Petrine ministry. As I do so, my heart is filled with gratitude. For over a half century, every day, beginning on 2 November 1946, when I celebrated my first Mass in the Crypt of Saint Leonard in Wawel Cathedral in Krakow, my eyes have gazed in recollection upon the host and the chalice, where time and space in some way 'merge' and the drama of Golgotha is re-presented in a living way, thus revealing its mysterious 'contemporaneity'." "The mystery of the Eucharistsacrifice, presence, banquet does not allow for reduction or exploitation; it must be experienced and lived in its integrity, both in its celebration and in the intimate converse with Jesus which takes place after receiving communion or in a prayerful moment of Eucharistic adoration apart from Mass. ... The path taken by the Church in these first years of the third millennium is also a path of renewed ecumenical commitment." "The treasure of the Eucharist, which the Lord places before us, impels us towards the goal of full sharing with all our brothers and sisters to whom we are joined by our common Baptism. But if this treasure is not to be squandered, we need to respect the demands which derive from its being the sacrament of communion in faith and in apostolic succession." "In the humble signs of bread and wine, changed into his body and blood, Christ walks beside us as our strength and our food for the journey, and he enables us to become, for everyone, witnesses of hope."

A sick Mom, an obsessed junior alchemist, wee people, giants and magic combine in a hunt for treasured stones.
Morgan Izaak is trying to follow in his father's footsteps, striving to save his mother from dying. His friend, Eny, finds her self embroiled in her own mystic journey. The book ties together typical fantasy components with Christian overtones. I found it a bit confusing.
I didn't get wrapped in the characters. I felt all the ingredients were there but they just didn't captivate me. I don't know if it is my mood or the book so take my lack of enthusiasm with a grain of salt. It is worth reading and even redeeming in some ways and most definitely faith affirming.

releasing USB in VMWare
I'm trying to get VMWare figured out. I had a problem and I think I know what caused the problem, but I'm not sure if my thinking is right. I have Win7 on my desktop. I installed VMWare and put WIN XP on it. When I was in the guest machine (XP) I couldn't print. I finally found out that I had to connect the USB ports in order to use my printers. I did that and both printers worked in XP with no problems. I later shut down my virtual machine and was using WIN 7--the host machine. A few days later I tried to print while in Win 7 (host machine), but neither of my printers would print. I have an HP inject and an HP laser jet. I thought that maybe I didn't release those ports while in my guest machine, so I went back into XP and released them. (Well, at least I think I released them.) Back to my host machine but it still would not print. I reinstalled the software for my inkject and it took care of the problem--it printed. I did the same with my laser jet but it still would not print. So I thought that since it had to do with not releasing the printers while on VMWare, I un- installed VMWare. It still wouldn't print. Fortunately, a few days before I connected the printers in VMWare, I made a system image. I restored the image and both of the printers work. Here's what I think the problem was--but again--I'm not sure.
I think that somehow I never did release the printers when I was in the virtual machine. I also realize that when you un- install virtual machine, the un-install does a poor job and it is not entirely un-installed. I believe that the settings that I set when I was in the virtual machine were not completed removed. Is my thinking correct? If so, do you have any idea why I could not completely release them in the frist place. I know this is a long read and I thank you very much for your input.

Devices that are not shared, which can be connected only to host or guest but not to both at the same time, are normally always released, disconnected from guest and reconnected to host when vm is closed.
If you close a vm with some of these devices still connected, next time you start the vm they are again automatically disconnected from the host and reconnected to guest. In this case you get a warning:
If you do not let vm to reconnect the device (click Cancel), you must manually reconnect it when needed:

The evolution of Kingdom of Crows began with a one man acoustic project in 2011, before founding member, Stephen Kelly, took to the studio in 2012. Recording a demo with two guests led to some Dublin based shows as a three-piece acoustic act. After the performances garnered positive feedback, in 2013 Kelly was prompted to work on a full album. Joining him in its creation and completing the band's lineup are vocalist Lucy Earley, bassist Robert Stanley and drummer Ken McGrath.
With what they've released thus far, Kingdom of Crows have established themselves as an acoustically driven psychedelic rock band, who are easy on the ears and heavy on the talent. It's probably safe to say that this is what we can expect from their forthcoming album, The Truth is the Trip. To wet your appetite, the band have put out two tracks, with a third on the way in the new year.
First single, "Call of the Void" is a 7 and a half-minute behemoth that almost feels as if it tells its own story as it unfolds. A single, vibrating note with an electronic hint begins proceedings by conjuring up an air of mystery and a sense of anticipation about what's to come. A quick drumbeat starts to build amid acoustic guitars as Earley's reverberating vocals take over. She manages to hit some impressively high notes, lending a transcendent, spiritual feel to the entire affair. It's all very operatic. Overall, this is a song that has a complex delivery while being extremely accessible.
A relaxing, acoustic riff takes us into latest release, "Dreamless Sleep". This is soon joined by some soothing, resonating vocals that are more subtle than those in "Call of the Void", but no less impressive. The instruments are simple, yet stirring. The gentle guitar and vocals build towards the end to a more rowdy pace that raises the tempo just enough to execute a felicitous finale. Altogether, it's a track that permits you to zone out and relieve yourself of stress while listening.
If these two singles are any indicator, Kingdom of Crows should deliver something special with the release of The Truth is the Trip. Their blend of easy listening acoustic instrumentation and soulful, lingering vocals make for an elegant, stripped down sound that proves less can be more.
With the album complete, keep an eye out for gigs in early 2015, while third single, "Clouds", is due to hit on January 11th. Check out the Kingdom of Crows Facebook page for the latest news and updates.

Our Third Guiding Question
provided the dead with everything they would need in the afterlife, and it turns out that the afterlife looks a lot like this one.
The Pharaoh reigned supreme on earth as the incarnation of the Sun God, but the scribe held important social standing as one who could record the lives of Pharaohs.
"I have come unto you; I have committed no faults; I have not sinned; I have done no evil; I have accused no man falsely; therefore let nothing be done against me." from a
Book of the Dead
What does the afterlife look like?
The Importance of the Scribe
Burial Goods
As written in
The Teachings of Kety
, the scribe is placed on the "path of god." Because he serves the king, "there is no scribe lacking sustenance."
Much of what we know of the lives of kings and their visions of the afterlife comes directly from the written hieroglyphics of scribes. Written on papyrus, but also on stone columns, tomb murals, and funerary temples, hieroglyphics reveal the details of an Egyptian worldview centered around the life lived after this one.
If you are interested in more details about the Seated Scribe, you can go here: http://www.louvre.fr/en/oeuvre-notices/seated-scribe
Egyptians believed that the afterlife was earned from a life of sinlessness--of right behavior and deed. If one lived without sin, one had a light heart, one lighter than a feather.
Here we see Hunefer's heart being weighed against a feather while Thoth records the events and Maat sits ready to devour the heart (and so prevent Hunefer from entering the afterlife) if it is found too heavy with sin.
Boats for floating the Nile, weapons for war, banquet items for feasting, all of these have been found in Egyptian tombs, either as objects or in murals.
One of the most famous discoveries in Egyptology is the tomb of "King Tut." Tutankhamun was relatively unimportant as a king; he died very young. But his unraided tomb has given us an idea of what would have been in even more propsperous tombs. For more information about some of the items found in Tutankhamun's tomb, one of the view that has been found relatively untouched, you can go here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/history/ancient/egyptians/tutankhamun_gallery.shtml

It may be difficult for us in the US to understand an Egyptian view of the afterlife. Because we are afraid of death, because we stave off death as much as we can--with diet choices as much as plastic surgeries--we often do not confront death until we are forced to.
But in ancient Egypt, kings (later to be called Pharaohs) would spend their entire reigns preparing for the afterlife by commissioning burials, funerary temples, and burial goods.
This week we will learn about how Egyptian royals used the Humanities to fulfill their visions of bounty in the afterlife.
Unfortunately, most tombs have been raided over time--some within their own day, others over generations. But the architectural ediface, part of a grand necropolis, and the murals inside those tomb spaces reveal much about the vision of the living, and so the dead, the influences of other cultures on the Egyptians, and the religious beliefs pertaining to the afterlife.
In the Stepped Pyramid of Djoser, we clearly see an Ancient Near Eastern influence on tomb structures--the Ziggurat. In the mural of Ti Hunting Hippos, we see the importance of the Nile not only as a vehicle of recreation but also of travel through the afterlife.

(Illustration by Jean Manuel Duvivier)
The A-List in recent years has produced somewhat predictable results at the top. Since 2011, some combination of Hughes Hubbard & Reed, Munger Tolles & Olson and Paul Hastings has occupied the top three places on the annual ranking of financial performance and firm culture metrics, with only their relative positions shifting from year to year.
But no more: Of that trio, only Paul Hastings, which finished in second place last year, returns with a top-three finish. In fact, it finished in first place—the first time that Paul Hastings has taken the A-List's top spot. Strong scores in pro bono (196 of a possible 200) and associate satisfaction (a perfect 200) were keys to the firm's finish. "We have continually challenged ourselves in the area of associate development," says Teri O'Brien, a corporate partner, who pointed to development programs introduced within the past four years that are better synched with associates' progression and provide more transparency regarding what it takes to succeed at the firm.
Second and third places went to O'Melveny & Myers and Gibson Dunn & Crutcher, respectively. The two firms' overall scores were separated by just one point. O'Melveny, which ranked fourth on the 2013 A-List, saw its overall score improve 15 points over last year's, thanks to improvements in three of four categories: pro bono, associate satisfaction and diversity. Gibson Dunn's 25-point improvement over last year, when it ranked fifth, was propelled by increases in its pro bono and diversity scores. "We have been engaged in a sustained effort to improve diversity at all levels and to make our firm a beacon of inclusiveness," says managing partner Kenneth Doran. "It's a long-term process, and I am gratified that we are on the right path."
The A-List, launched by The American Lawyer in 2003, ranks firms on a variety of metrics: financial performance (as measured by The Am Law 200′s revenue per lawyer rankings), pro bono work (as measured by our annual pro bono survey), associate satisfaction (as measured by our midlevel survey), and diversity (as measured by our Diversity Scorecard). The revenue per lawyer and pro bono scores are doubled, to give those metrics additional weight. The highest possible total score is 1,200.
Every year, 20 firms are selected for the A-List. Sixteen firms from last year's list make return appearances this time. Of the four new entrants, two—Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld and Covington & Burling—return after absences that lasted just a year. The other two are Irell & Manella, which returns after being off the list since 2009, and Robins, Kaplan, Miller & Ciresi, which was last on the list in 2007.
Average scores for the 20 A-List firms in each of the ranking's four metrics were largely stable from 2013, increasing or decreasing by just a point. (In fact, Paul Hastings' first-place score in 2014 was lower than its second-place score in 2013.) But in most areas, the gap between higher-ranking and lower-ranking firms increased: In RPL, the range between the highest score and the lowest was 54 points, compared with 50 in 2013. In pro bono, it was 58 points, compared with 45; and in diversity, it was 91 points, compared with 82. The exception was associate satisfaction, where the range narrowed to 78, from 87 in 2013.
While the use of four separate metrics in tabulating the A-List favors stability from year to year, much can change in a year based on changes in just one or two categories. For example, Munger Tolles' fall to 11th this year from first last year was due largely to a lower pro bono score. While the firm experienced slight increases in its RPL and diversity scores versus last year, its pro bono ranking declined by 42 points. (The firm is number 61 on our latest pro bono rankings [page 56], compared with number 19 a year ago.) In an emailed statement, Munger Tolles managing partner Sandra Seville-Jones, said, "While the number of pro bono hours fluctuates from year to year, our commitment remains resolute."
Hughes Hubbard's Achilles heel in this year's tabulations was its diversity score, which declined 55 points, to 134. (The firm was number 67 on this year's Diversity Scorecard [June], compared with number 12 a year earlier.) "Our dip this year is a short-term aberration having to do with the timing of some additions and departures," says Hughes Hubbard chair Candace Beinecke. "Diversity is a major part of our business model. We believe it leads to higher-quality lawyering and better results for our clients."
In addition to Paul Hastings, O'Melveny and Gibson Dunn, another firm that notably rose in this year's rankings was Patterson Belknap Webb & Tyler, which climbed into seventh place from 17th last year. The 31-point improvement in the firm's overall score was driven by jumps in both its associate satisfaction and RPL scores. Seven other firms improved their standing on this year's A-List. The jumps ranged from just one rank (Latham & Watkins and Wilmer Cutler Pickering Hale and Dorr), to six ranks (Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe). Driven by increases in its RPL, pro bono and associate satisfaction rankings, Orrick's year-to-year score increased 26 points, to 1,035, and its ranking climbed from 18th to 12th.
Of the four firms that weren't on last year's list but made this year's A-List, Irell & Manella ranks the highest, with a 13th-place showing and an overall score of 1,034. Last year it ranked 39th in A-List tabulations with an overall score of 871. The firm's dramatic climb was driven in part by a 24-point increase in its pro bono score. (The firm is number 31 on our current pro bono rankings, compared with number 55 a year ago.) "A pro bono initiative we introduced at the end of 2012 has matured, and as result our pro bono hours have doubled in comparison to the prior year," says Andrei Iancu, Irell & Manella's managing partner. Iancu pointed specifically to efforts to more prominently highlight pro bono opportunities during firm retreats, revisions to the pro bono committee that allow it to more effectively distribute pro bono matters and a 60 pro bono hour requirement for new hires.
Robins Kaplan made a similarly impressive climb, going from a 55th ranking in last year's A-List tabulations and an overall score of 804 to a 14th-place ranking and an overall score of 1,026 this year. The firm's 41 spot leap was driven by an RPL score that shot to 190 from 95 and an associate satisfaction score that jumped to 161 from 109. "We work hard each year at investing in the careers and futures of our associates," says Martin Lueck, chairman of the firm's executive board. "Some years we do better than others and it's not always easy to identify what the circumstances are behind changes in our scores." As for the RPL increase, "it is well-known that we are a firm that shares risk with our clients," Lueck says, "and so some years we are going to have much higher revenue, and that was certainly the case last year." (The firm's 2013 RPL of $1.25 million was The Am Law 200′s 11th-highest.) Akin Gump and Covington & Burling, the other two firms that weren't on last year's list, had more modest increases, each rising four spots, to 18th place and 20th place, respectively.
The four firms that fell off the A-List this year are Davis Polk & Wardwell, Jenner & Block, Shearman & Sterling and Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom. Of the four, Davis Polk dropped the furthest, 19 spots, from 16th place, with a score of 1,015, on last year's A-List, to 35th place, with a score of 887. While the firm's diversity scores registered a small uptick, its pro bono score dropped 39 points (before being doubled), to 117, and its associate satisfaction ranking fell 50 points, to 90. Its RPL score also declined by two points. This year ends Davis Polk's 11-year run on the A-List; it was one of the firms on the inaugural A-List in 2003.
Shearman & Sterling had the best showing of the four on the 2013 A-List with a score of 1,029 and a 10th-place ranking. The firm's fall to 24th on this year's A-List was driven in large part by a 74-point drop in its associate satisfaction score.
Paul Hastings' rise to the top of the A-List has been a rapid one. As recently as 2009, the firm had never been on the list. It debuted on the A-List in 2010 in 10th place. "We are reaping the benefits of a much longer trend at the firm of investing in our people and our practices and expanding our view of success," says Seth Zachary, chairman of Paul Hastings. "The reason for embarking on this process more than 15 years ago was to ensure the long-term success of Paul Hastings. An additional benefit has been that during the last three to four years, we have improved our performance on the A-List."

Yes, another live music rant. Don't look so surprised.
Other than learning some "standard" repertoire for the coming season, my spare time (haha) has been taken up with reworking Terminal for live performance.
It isn't as simple as pressing "play" in iTunes and playing along... I mean, it could be that simple, but that wouldn't be nearly as much fun, nor would it be in the slightest bit creative.
But it throws up a few really interesting problems: the album was written, recorded and produced in the studio - I'll be honest and admit that there wasn't much thought at the time as to how it would work live, when it came to it.
So, how do you take the studio on stage?
When you hear it, you'll see what I mean: it'll all cello, and even supposing I can look you in the eye and tell you that I played it all, some things are impossible all at once: reverse pizzicato at the same time as live sampling a phrase on top of the melody that is nestled on top of the bass drone? Yeah. Not happening.
So, Milton and I are working through it, dissecting the key components and discovering what makes each track quintessentially itself. We're using samples as little as possible, but inevitably it has to happen from time to time, so finding the must natural and direct ways to implement them is key.
I have 3 live performances of Terminal in April: London, New York and San Francisco. As a result of all the work that's going on now, each show will be different, and I strongly believe that is better for both the audience and me. I'll post the videos of each event as and when they appear...
It's now only 2 weeks to go until release, and I'm really looking forward to hearing what you all think of the album - it feels like such a lifetime ago that I was sitting in The Production Room at Real World, drinking my own body weight in tea and coffee and pulling 18 hour days... but it was only 5 months ago!
Funnily enough, I think I've probably gained as much from reworking what was, effectively, a studio album, for the stage as I did in writing and producing it.
I have absolutely no desire to make my next record in a different way; I like that there is a fixed recorded version, and I like that the live versions will be different each time. Surely that's how much should be? I'm tired of hearing record-perfect performances...
I want there to be liberties taken on stage, and I don't want the audience to know what to expect; otherwise, why not just sit and listen to the CD really really loud?

5 New Cosmetic Treatments That Are Hot In Canada
When it comes to cosmetic treatments, Canadian trends closely follow those of the U.S. While traditional cosmetic surgeries continue to be popular, there are other less invasive cosmetic procedures that rose dramatically in popularity last year, according to findings from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons (which represents surgeons in the U.S. and Canada). This trend, no doubt, is fuelled by the continually evolving and minimally invasive surgery technologies that can achieve great results without the extensive use of scalpel and with a quicker recovery time.
Some of the more popular treatments include:
- Botox injections (Botulinum Toxin Type A): These popular injections block muscular nerve signals, resulting in diminished wrinkles on the forehead, and around the eyes. The most recent approved Botulinum Toxin Type A injection on the market is Dysport.
- Liquid Facelifts / Lunchtime Lifts: A liquid facelift procedure uses dermal fillers, injections or implants to help diminish facial lines and restore volume and fullness in the face. They can be used to plump up lips (a current rave among the millennials, thanks to Kylie Jenner), recontour the face and soften wrinkles. It's a relatively painless procedure – often done in an hour (hence the nickname "lunchtime lift") – that mimics most of the effects of the traditional face lift, but not its longevity. A liquid facelift usually lasts for a year or so.
Restylane® Silk is the newest hyaluronic acid (a substance naturally occurring in the body) soft tissue filler to get FDA approval. Radiesse is another popular filler. This filler injectable is a water-based gel with calcium-based microspheres. What is an added bonus to this filler is its ability to stimulate natural collagen production in the body and skin as a person ages.
Belkyra is the latest option in the growing lunchtime lift market, developed by Vancouver-based Dr. Jean Carruthers. Belkyra received approvals from Health Canada and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration last year, and has proven fat-destroying ability. Currently it's used mainly to trim and shape the double chin, but its fat-destroying ability makes it a promising technology for the future.
- The "thread facelift": The thread facelift is a relatively new procedure, developed in Paris. A thread facelift uses special "barbed" threads that are attached to tiny incisions in the targeted area, and stretched to pull up drooping skin around the cheeks, jawline, and neck. It's much quicker, less expensive and much less invasive than the traditional facelift, but the results are not permanent, and generally recommended for younger skin.
- Chemical Peels (aka epidermal peels): One of the least invasive ways to improve the appearance of the skin damaged by sun or aging, a chemical peel uses a chemical solution to smooth the texture of the skin by removing, or burning off, the damaged outer layers. Peels, however, are not known to be very effective at treating deep facial lines or to tighten loose or sagging skin. The Vi Peel, however, is one new chemical peel getting much attention as a safe and effective treatment capable of reducing the signs of aging, hyperpigmentation and acne scarring. The effects of Vi Peel are more pronounced than most chemical peels.
- Laser and Energy Treatments. A fairly new treatment is Skin Tyte. Skin Tyte directs broad band light energy to the skin in order to tighten it and reduce signs of aging. The unique thing about Skin Tyte is that unlike some other laser treatments that work only for above the neck, Skin Tyte can be used on any part of the body, can produce changes in just one session, and has no downtime.
While traditional facelifts, breast and buttocks augmentations and liposuction procedures remain very popular, nonsurgical options and technology continue to evolve, and some experts say may eclipse surgical procedures as the go-to in cosmetic enhancement in the near future.

Ireland shot itself in foot over boxing coach
As our Olympic boxers did not perform along expected lines in Brazil in recent weeks, nobody is talking about "the elephant in the room''.
Billy Walsh, the most successful boxing coach and manager Ireland has ever produced, was let go by the boxing powers-that-be. Since then preparation and results have gone downhill.
Great managers get the best talent available to them on to the field of play or into the boxing ring and devise and construct a gameplan that is fully explained and easy to understand by all concerned.
They also set very high standards of behaviour and a code of practice that is sacrosanct and must be adhered to by everybody. Any competitor who does not play by the rules is immediately removed for the good of the rest of the group.
Preparation is always of a high standard and no member of the group is under any illusion as to what is required. This helps to get the very best out of each member of the team.
This does not appear to have been the case in the lead-up to the games in Rio. Hence the lack of success.
In the case of Irish boxing, not reappointing Billy Walsh as manager of the Irish Olympic boxing team will be seen as shooting themselves in the foot and the biggest own-goal in the history of sport here.

Her amazing talent to do 60 things at once, keeps the office in check and on its toes.
Ingrid's compassion and passion for people is second to none and she is an inspiration to our team.
Dear Leonie,
I have to say that Ingrid was so helpful in finding us the right rental property. She was the only local agent that called me back to look at a home that really suited our needs.
From the application process to moving in, she made everything for easy.
Thank you Ingrid
To the team at Century 21 Cambridge Park.
Thank you for all your assistance with the sale of our investment. From the minute I called and spoke to Ingrid till the time my property was sold by Leonie, it was such a pleasure.
Seller log-in is amazing, we knew what the buyers thoughts were while the open home was still running. We could see all the offers coming in and the property sold that day at the first open home for $50,000.00 more than we expected. We will only use Century 21 to sell and take care of our investments.
Thank you to the whole team.
