Wilderness recently hosted renown New Zealand chef and food writer Tina Duncan on a week long road trip. Tina and her daughter Maria found some of the best places to forage for New Zealand's freshest ingredients. She shares her favourite recipes for eating in style on the road.
When we think about taking a campervan around the beautiful New Zealand wilderness, especially if we choose to freedom camp, we often think we have to compromise or ration a few things: power, technology and food. This mother-daughter duo decided to debunk that myth and take on the challenge to eat delicious, fresh and seasonal food on a New Zealand road trip – read on for the results and recipes we want to share.
A few objectives guided us on our trip to make shopping and cooking easier:
1. Don't deny yourself a couple of herbs and spices. Decide what type of food you like and buy some flavourings to use across different recipes. We chose chilli and cumin.
2. Try and plan a few meals where the core ingredients cross over so your shopping list is streamlined (this is why we have a red theme - we love tomatoes).
3. Meals need to be able to be cooked on one or two pots/pans.
4. Eat roadside. Try and buy as much as possible from the farm fresh produce that is seasonal and local as you drive through all the regions of New Zealand.
Day 1
The first day was about setting ourselves up, and hopefully the only supermarket shop we'd need for the five days. We made sure we shopped smart with ingredients that would cover us for a couple of meals and spices we would use for every meal because there is no reason to go without. Knowing we were heading from Auckland to Mount Manganui meant we had fish in mind for our first campervan feast. The rain came down so heavily that we warmed up with our fresh turbot tagine after pulling up at Omanu Surf Cub for our first night. We threw together a batch of delicious chilli and cumin girdle scones to mop up the juices. We may not have got a view that night but what a stunner to wake up to the next morning!
300g white fish fillets
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste)
1 small red onion, sliced
1 yellow capsicum, seeded & sliced
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
handful coriander leaves (optional)
Cut the fish into bite sized pieces. In a pan with a lid, heat olive oil and sauté red onion and spices. Add capsicums and tomatoes and cover. Simmer gently for 3 - 4 minutes until the capsicum is tender. Bury the fish pieces into the vegetable mix, season with salt & pepper, cover and gently cook until fish is cooked through.
Sprinkle over coriander and serve.
Makes 6
2 cups self-raising flour
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/8 teaspoon chilli flakes
¼ teaspoon salt
25g butter
¾ cup milk
In a mixing bowl, combine the dry ingredients and rub in the butter to resemble fine breadcrumbs. Add milk and mix to a soft dough. Tip out onto a floured board and pat out into a 2cm thick round shape. Cut into 6 wedges and cook in a non-stick frying pan over medium heat for about 5 minutes each side until brown and cooked through.
Day 2
Day two took us from Mount Manganui to Napier via Taupo. Roadside stalls were plentiful, especially through avocado country. Fresh fruit ice cream was an essential stop and welcome on a hot afternoon. Stopping in at the spectacular Huka Falls, we saw signs to a prawn farm. That's dinner sorted. To make the most of the last of the season's cherry tomatoes, we conjured up a simple, spicy, coconut prawn curry. Ending up at Clifton Reserve in Te Awanga in the Hawke's Bay with the sun illuminating Cape Kidnappers, it seemed only fitting that we pop across to Clearview Winery to purchase one of our favourites – a bottle of Clearview 'Sea Red' to finish the day with a glass of 'roadside' dessert.
Serves 2
1 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon ground cumin
2 large red chillies, seeded and finely chopped
250g cherry tomatoes
16 large raw prawn cutlets
125 mls coconut cream
Handful chopped parsley
Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin and chilli. Reduce heat and add tomatoes and cook 1 minute. Add prawns and cook until pink, 2 – 3 minutes. Add coconut cream, season with salt & pepper and serve over rice with fresh parsley.
Day 3
Destination Castlepoint. A compulsory detour if you travel through Masterton. Driving through the Hawke's Bay meant multiple opportunities for roadside purchases. It was clear that we could make tonight's meal almost entirely from what we picked up that day. Fresh free range eggs and local Kingsmeade cheese were the highlights, and strawberries for dessert lent themselves as the perfect accompaniment for the second half of that Clearview sticky. A spectacular walk around Castlepoint included some foraging when we found masses of wild fennel, which made our roadside one-pan eggs even more delicious.
Serves 2
2 tablespoons oil
1 medium red onion, chopped
2 teaspoons ground cumin
½ teaspoon chilli flakes (or to taste)
1 x 400g can chopped tomatoes
½ can cannellini beans
Salt and pepper
4 eggs
Foraged herbs, chopped
In a non-stick pan, heat the oil and sauté the onion with the spices for a few minutes. Add the tomatoes and chilli beans and cook until onions are tender. Season with salt and pepper. Make 4 indentations in the mix with the back of a spoon and crack an egg into each one. Cover with a lid and continue cooking until the eggs are done to your likeness. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve immediately.
Day 4
Time to hop across the Strait via some of the country's best coffee destinations in the coolest little capital in the world: nothing-can-beat-it-on-a-good-day Wellington. A stop off at Petone for fantastic coffee and seaside donuts at Seashore Cabaret was the perfect farewell to the North Island. After a millpond crossing of Cook Strait, we pulled up for the night at Kekerengu on the Kaikoura Coast. Our last night's cook up was a cupboard cleanout. We combined the remaining cannellini beans, fresh veggies and some chicken and spices for a Mexican-inspired white one-pot wonder. No better way to use up those now-ripened gorgeous avocados. Leftover girdle scones fried in butter turned a good eat into something sensational.
Serves 2
1 tablespoon oil
1 medium onion, diced
1 carrot, peeled and sliced
1 celery stalk, sliced
1 cups chicken stock
1 skinless chicken breast, diced
1/2 can cannellini beans, drained and rinsed
1 teaspoon ground cumin
¼ teaspoon chilli flakes
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
In a medium saucepan, heat oil and sauté vegetables for 2 or 3 minutes. Add cumin, chilli and chicken stock and cook a further few minutes until vegetables are nearly tender. Add diced chicken and cannellini beans and continue cooking until the chicken is cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
Last Day
Our final leg coming down the inland Kaikoura road was a spectacular last day's drive; stopping off to graze on roadside blackberries and apples before reluctantly relinquishing our campervan in Christchurch. All we really wanted to do was carry on South – but maybe another time.
After initial hesitation and expectation that we would succumb to at least one night of takeaways, we realized the added fun and satisfaction of cooking each night, of staying away from the crowds and being completely self-sufficient. A few simplified recipes of your favourite meals and flavours married with the best of what New Zealand producers have to offer will make a fantastic holiday an even more special experience as you share and enjoy New Zealand through food.

While planning my trip to Myrtle Beach South Carolina, I decided I wanted to go beyond the beach to explore some of the cultural and local events. With the help of the convention and visitors bureau, I found wonderful hidden gems in Myrtle Beach! Don't get me wrong, if you choose to go to the beach simply to take in the sunshine and the ocean breeze, that is fine too. I was able to do that during most of the day and also explore the city. This list of must visit hidden gems in Myrtle Beach gives you the option to do both. It also allows you to go beyond the downtown area filled with tourist attractions of miniature golf, arcades and gift shops.
1) Brookgreen Gardens: Brookgreen Gardens is located on US Hwy 17 between Murrells Inlet and Pawleys Island. You can easily spend a few days exploring the gardens and the good news is your admission ticket is valid for 7 consecutive days! It is like going to 3 or 4 parks in one. The attractions include the sculpture gardens and tours, the native wildlife zoo, and the lowcountry trail. You can take pontoon boat rides along the historic rice fields or an oaks plantation history and nature tour. There are also plenty of things to do for kids of all ages! Besides the zoo, the butterfly house is open from April to October, there is a children's discovery room, a children's garden and an enchanted storybook forest. Brookgreen Gardens holds special events such as the Spring Garden festival and the Holiday festival called "Night of a Thousand Candles." We were fortunate to take in their late summer event-Brew at the Zoo.
2) The Native Wildlife Zoo: Brew at the Zoo was held on the outskirts of the Native Wildlife Zoo and adjacent to the Whispering Wings Butterfly Exhibit. It consisted of beer samplings, free snacks, a silent auction, live music and there was also wine and food for purchase from American Tap House. Even though I am not a big beer drinker, I actually enjoyed a few of the craft beers including the pumpkin beer! The setting was lovely. We strolled through the part of the Zoo to see some of the animals and walked through the butterfly exhibit. I highly suggest attending an event at the zoo and Brookgreen Gardens!
3) Murrells Inlet: If we had not made plans to go to Brookgreen Gardens I am not sure we would have ventured down to this area. I am so glad we did! It is a quaint fishing village about 20 minutes from the downtown area. It is referred by some to be the "seafood capital of South Carolina". For golfers this is also a popular area based on its golf courses. The Murrells Inlet Marshwalk is lined with shops and restaurants and beautiful views. We spent the evening dining at Wicked Tuna. Whatever you do just make sure you get down there in time for sunset!
4) Huntington Beach State Park: This state park is located across from Brookgreen Gardens in Murrells Inlet. Although we did not make it here, we had plans to attend the Atalaya Arts and Crafts Festival that was taking place here during our visit. "Atalaya" is the Moorish-style castle built by philanthropist Archer M.Huntington and his wife Anna Huntington. This was their winter home. It is on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places. The Huntingtons left the park and Brookgreen gardens as their legacy. What a gift! You can also go surf fishing at the park, camping and bird watching.
5) La Belle Amie Winery & Vineyard: La Belle Amie is located in North Myrtle Beach in Little River SC. When I mentioned to friends that I was going wine tasting in Myrtle Beach they couldn't believe it! While visiting La Belle Amie Vineyard, you are transported away from the hustle and bustle of Myrtle Beach and feel as if you are at a vineyard in California wine country. It is family owned and the home of the "Twisted Sisters" wine label. For more information read my full blog post here.
6) Musical Theater at the GTS Theater: Yes! Myrtle Beach has musical theater! Currently showing at the GTS Theater is "Motor City Musical-A Tribute to Motown." Although we did not get a chance to attend the show, I read great reviews about it.
7) The Long Bay Symphony: This is Myrtle Beach's professional orchestra. When I received this invitation, I was surprised and delighted. I may need to make a trip back to Myrtle Beach just to attend a performance during their 2016-2017 season! The lineup sounds amazing! A Gershwin celebration, Endless Love and Bravo Broadway! They also have a youth symphony, and guild events such as "champagne, chocolate and all that jazz!" Be sure to visit their website for a full list of events, dates and pricing information.
8) The Dining Scene: I also found hidden gems in Myrtle Beach in the form of restaurants. I wrote about them in my blog post "Myrtle Beach Restaurant Guide for Foodies." Be sure to check it out and save it as a reference for your next trip.
If you love attending events as much as I do, visit these websites: MyrtleBeachEventInfo.com, and GrandStrandEvents.com.
Although I was invited on a press trip by Visit Myrtle Beach, all opinions expressed in this post are my own.

Because, come on, despite all the points you've been making on Facebook all morning, you had no idea who Dion Waiters was until last night.
Here, scored to some blah Eminem leading into a little Drizzy, are some clips of the newbie Cav on the court.
Here's the first trailer for the upcoming movie Alex Cross, which was filmed in Cleveland last summer.
You might remember it because one of the stars, Matthew Fox, allegedly slugged a party bus driver in the Flats after a drunken night at a club nobody in Cleveland ever hangs out at.
In the movie, Fox plays a doctor with daddy issues whose plane goes down on some mysterious island. Before he knows it, he's seeing polar bears, bickering with some dude from a Gap commercial, and sparring for the souls of his fellow castaways with a guy named after a 17th century philosopher.
Or maybe that was something else Fox starred in.
We're not sure. And since Tyler Perry stars in the crime thriller, we will probably never be sure, since we have zero interest in seeing it.
The movie opens in October. Let us know if Cleveland looks any more fabulous than it did in The Avengers. —Michael Gallucci
The situation is still code red over on the east side, where one violent episode only seems to be giving way to the next. After a 48 hour period that saw three separate shootings — leaving 8 people wounded – over the weekend, we're getting word of another drive-by. Fortunately, as with the gunplay that kicked off the week, no one was killed.
The latest incident happened early this morning on East 71st near Shaffer, according to 19ActionNews, about 20 blocks east from the China House shooting. At 12:50 a.m. this morning, two people were hit by fire coming from either a silver PT Cruiser or a Chevy. Police are hunting down the vehicle. One individual was treated on the scene; the other was taken to the hospital.
The disturbing video below shows a Ford Crown Victoria or Mercury Marquis hitting a man in Public Square Sunday and driving away. The 27-year-old victim was taken to Metro and later released, which is absolutely shocking considering how violent the impact seems from the clip.
Call the Accident Investigation Unit at 216-623-5295 or Crime Stoppers at 216-252-7463 if you have any information. More info on the crash at Cleveland.com.
Animals: they're just like people. At least our anthropomorphic assumptions let them be, like this gentleman in Ravenna who claims a bear not only rang his doorbell, but listened to him when he asked the bear to stop eating his flowers.
Enjoy the most earnest man you'll meet today, courtesy of the Record Pub:
Dan Lintz said a black bear visited his property on Newton Falls Road in Ravenna Township. The bear, he said, rang his doorbell, then "posed for photos" while munching on his flowers, drinking from his fountain, and scampering off into the woods.
"Honest to God," the body shop owner said as he discussed the recent incident.
Lintz ran into his home and retrieved his digital camera. He yelled at the bear to stop for photos, and Lintz said he was surprised when the bear took a detour into the backyard.
Lintz took photos of the bear munching on his flowers. After he said, "Hey, stop eating my flowers" the bear obediently moved over to the water fountain to take a drink
And then the bear walked on two legs into his house, poured himself a cup of coffee, and turned on Maury.
In the opening scene of Marvel's summer smash The Avengers, the evil Loki infiltrates a secret military research outpost for a valuable mineral that will help him conquer the world. In the following scene, Loki uses a creepy hideout to hatch his malevolent plans. The location of this creepy hideout? Cleveland's own Veterans Memorial Bridge, also known as the Detroit-Superior Bridge. The brief scene was shot underneath the familiar landmark in its little-known tunnel system.
Every summer, the Cleveland Public Works department organizes a public tour of the bridge, and I got a sneak peak at what attendees will see when they venture underneath the 3112-foot structure to one of Cleveland's creepiest locales. On Saturday, July 7, the bridge and its lower subway deck will be open to the public—the only time of the year this is true.
Yesterday around noon, a large, colorful bus was parked on Howard Avenue off West 14th Street in Tremont, alongside the historic red brick building occupied by St. Augustine's Catholic Church. A group of friendly gray-haired women in conservative skirts and jackets mingled with neighbors and local social justice activists. The Nuns on the Bus tour had arrived in Cleveland.
The Roman Catholic nuns are travelling through nine states — primarily in the Rust Belt — to emphasize their work with those in need and to protest the budget cuts proposed by Wisconsin congressman Paul Ryan that would hit the poor the hardest. The nuns got a tour of the church, learned about its special outreach ministries to deaf and blind people, and visited its longtime hunger center across the street.
The nuns also dashed across West 14th Street to Lincoln Park to visit with a day camp group. They watched some of them demonstrate their hula hoop abilities, queried the kids about their activities and suggested that when they do their cooking project, they send photos to Michelle Obama since she is promoting healthy eating for children. One little girl asked, "Couldn't we just slip in some ribs?"
Sister Simone Campbell, the catalyst and spokeswoman for the tour, addressed the assembled crowd afterward, saying what nice weather they'd had. "But we've been turning up the heat," she added.
She was referring to the impetus for the tour: an "investigation" ordered by the Vatican of American nuns' activities that concluded they were devoting too much time doing things like feeding people, educating children, and caring for the sick, and not enough time to attacking gay marriage and abortion. The nuns' response was basically, "Whatever, Pope Fancy Shoes."
Some of her travelling companions spoke as well, saying things like, "We as a nation have been losing our sense of community and have gone down a path of individuality. This bus trip is to lift up 'we the people.'"
Campbell introduced their response to the Ryan budget, which they call the Faithful Budget: "reasonable revenue for responsible programs." It aims to invest in the common good, putting everyone on a stronger economic footing rather than cutting safety-net programs and doling out a tax cut to the wealthy as Ryan's budget does.
After lunch, the nuns were heading down to a meeting with the Plain Dealer editorial board. Look for Kevin O'Brien's column on how misguided they are soon.

J J Cahill Memorial High School
|J J Cahill Memorial High School

|J J Cahill Memorial High School
J J Cahill Memorial High School, (frequently abbreviated to JJCMHS; colloquially known as JJ) is a school in Mascot, New South Wales, Australia, on Sutherland Street. It is a co-educational high school operated by the New South Wales Department of Education and Training with students from years 7 to 12. The school was established in 1961 as a comprehensive High School, named in memory of local member and Premier of New South Wales, John Joseph Cahill. Some of its students have gone on to notable success, some holding high public office.
As a result of lobbying from the local council, residents and the local member for Cook's River and the premier, Joseph Cahill, it was decided to establish a high school in Mascot. Owing to delays in construction, the school was not finished until 1961, two years after Cahill's death in office in October 1959.[3]
At the time, the first few intakes of the new high school were housed at Gardeners Road Public School. When the school finally was ready for use, the students carried their books and furniture to the new school site down the road, an event which was commemorated at the school's 50th anniversary in 2011.[3] In memory of Cahill's efforts to bring public education to the local area, the school decided that it was to be named in his honour.[4] Accordingly, "J J Cahill Memorial High School" was officially opened by his widow, Esmey Cahill, on 24 March 1961.[3]
Following a financial contribution of $3 million from the Sydney Ports Corporation as part of the Port Botany Development Project, the school recently built a new gymnasium, which was officially opened on 7 May 2010 by the state premier, Kristina Keneally, in the presence of the principal Robyn Cowin and the Minister for Ports and Waterways, Paul McLeay.[5]
Notable alumni[edit]
- Ron Hoenig – Member for Heffron, Legislative Assembly of New South Wales (2012-present) Barrister and former mayor of the City of Botany Bay (1981–2012).[6]
- Christine Robertson – Member of Legislative Council of New South Wales (2003–2011).

YourAnonNews Raises $54k+on IndieGoGo
Noah J Nelson on Wednesday, Apr. 17th
The social media news collective known as YourAnonNews, who have gathered a following on Twitter and Tumblr by flying the Anonymous flag, have raised over $54,000 on crowdfunding site IndieGoGo.
While there is no central authority to Anon, that hasn't stopped the YourAnonNews "brand" (for lack of a better term) from collecting just shy of a million followers on Twitter. By comparison the Los Angeles Times has under half-a-million followers on the microblogging site.
The goal of the crowdfunding campaign was to raise $2000 towards the costs of dedicated servers to host a website and begin building an infrastructure for citizen journalism under the YourAnon banner. At present the entity exists merely in the realm of social media, but that hasn't stopped it from becoming a counterweight to mainstream media sources, if not a trusted source in and of itself.

Muzaffarnagar : As Uttar Pradesh polls coming up next month, a Jat outfit along with khap panchayats in communally sensitive western UP, have planned to campaign against the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP).
Jat community in Haryana and Western UP have strong hold of vote, they are upset with governments, their demand of reservation is yet to be accepted. On Sunday, the Jat group 'Akhil Bhartiya Jat Aarakshan Sangarsh Samiti '(ABJASS), which spearheaded the Jat reservation agitation in Haryana last year, held a 'Jat Sankalp Rally' in Muzaffarnagar district of western UP and requested all members of the community to vote for the strongest non-BJP candidate in their respective constituencies.
According to source Jats got around 8-9% of the state's population, their concentration in key assembly seats in western UP makes them an important voting group.
The 'Jat Sankalp Rally which was held in Muzaffarnagar's Kharad village on sunday, is also the native village of ABJASS national president Yashpal Malik. ABJASS has called on khap panchayats from all over the region, man.
Speaking to reporter, president of ABJASS Maour people for political gains and vote bank. They also filed false cases against thousands of Jats and even used some of their party workers to unleash violence against us."
"Last year, after Jat agitation, I personally met PM Narendra Modi who assured us that reservations would be given to Jats, but since then i have not seen government fulfilling its promise. They will now learn that Jats across the country are united and stand in solidarity with each other. If they oppress and deny the right of Jats in Haryana, their brothers in western UP will not stay silent. Jats here will vote against the BJP en mass," he added.
Malik said western UP has hold of key in the upcoming UP elections and claimed that Jats hold the "swing vote" in at least 125 constituencies here. "In many seats, Muslims and Dalits are present in large numbers here in wester UP part. And Muslim and Dalits groups never vote for the BJP so BJP have been relying on Jats and used us for vote politics to win in this region. They had been winning the Jat vote in western UP by creating communal tension. If Jats abandon them, which they will, then BJP will not even win 10 seats in west UP," he said.
Meanwhile,The BJP has rejected the claim that it was 'anti-Jat'. BJP MP from Baghpat and prominent Jat leader Satyapal Singh said, "I understand the concerns that Malik sahib has. All their demands are valid and the government is working towards resolving them. However, it is inaccurate to say that BJP has been betrayed Jats in any way. We stand with all sections of society that have been left behind in the development process."

Nestled in a secure area within IBM's Poughkeepsie plant is a cluster of 32-bit xSeries Intel-based Linux systems and 64-bit pSeries AIX servers. The hardware, which is accessible via a secure VPN connection, is available to customers that require the processing power of a supercomputer in doses that don't warrant dedicated, on-site systems.
Storage is handled using a combination of integrated disks, tape libraries and smaller external SANs. Combined, the hardware provides customers with the benefits of parallel processing and secure, location independent assets that don't require room in, and the resources of, already-taxed datacenters.
According to Turek, the deep computing on demand program is ideal for companies that face high-priority, short-term workloads measured in weeks or months.
One company is currently harnessing the cluster's power to speed its delivery of underground data to petroleum exploration companies. GX Technology is using the program's Linux cluster to reduce cost while crunching more data and reducing the risk of costly drills in unsuitable sites.
Mick Lambert, GX Technology's president and CEO, says, "IBM's Deep Computing on demand gives us the power to dramatically reduce project cycle times and increase our project capacity, while reducing infrastructure and operating costs."
In the future, Turek says that IBM will expand the cluster to include blade technologies and AMD's Opteron. For the time being, however, he feels that customers can complete time-critical computing projects in a "fire and forget" manner without incurring the costs of inherently disruptive upgrades.

I'm totally mesmerized by this site! I've been exploring the Uffizi Gallery for the last couple of days, trying to absorb all that I can - and I've been there in person- TWICE! Being able to see works so close is such a luxury. I am discovering a new appreciation for artists and techniques that I did not have before.
For example, I was not such a fan of the well-known Botticelli painting "The Birth Of Venus". Look how Art Project changes my viewing experience of a painting that I studied in class and experienced in person:
This is about as close as you can get in the gallery. That is, when you aren't waiting for a spot in front of the painting -it's very popular!
Here is one of Venus' eyes thanks to Google Art Project. It's so beautiful! I love seeing all the different minuscule marks on the iris that I could have never seen before. I knew the painting was complicated - but seeing all the work that went into it - WOW. The best part of all is that I can save all the sections I love and build a collection with my Google account!
What are you waiting for? Go check out the site and start building your collection!

Interview: Ray LaMontagne

Ray LaMontagne Videos
"I feel like I've been working towards this record over the last few years," exclaims Ray LaMontagne about his phenomenal new offering, God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise.
In actuality, the album came together pretty quickly—about five days to be exact—but it's so poetic, poignant and powerful that it sounds like the result of years of pondering. That's the real beauty of what Ray LaMontange does though. He's able to craft music that's both intricate and infectious with that soulful bellow and some clever chord-strumming. There's no shortage of either on God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise and that's one of a myriad of reasons of why it's Ray LaMontagne's best albums. Backed by his Pariah Dogs, it also gets rocking on the title track songs like "Devil's in the Jukebox." This is one record you need to buy this year…
Ray LaMontagne sat down with ARTISTdirect.com editor and Dolor author Rick Florino for an exclusive interview about God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise, some literary influences, capturing music in the moment and so much more.
Did self-producing give God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise a sense of boundlessness?
Well, I don't know about boundlessness, but it was freeing for sure. It was challenging in ways, but it was also a very comfortable process. We're all very good friends, and we were working out of my house. The whole process felt really good from start-to-finish.
Do you feel like you really captured what was happening in the moment?
Definitely, the bulk of the album was recorded in about five days. We did two tracks per day for five days, which is faster than any other recording session I've ever done. We weren't trying to; it just happened that way. We got momentum really quickly and sustained it.
Did you go into the studio with a complete vision for the album in mind? Is that why it came together so quickly?
I certainly put a lot of thought into it, preparing to do the record. Producing an album, there are a lot of responsibilities, and I wanted to have all my ducks in a row when the guys got there. There was a lot of thought beforehand that went into the record. What you really here are musicians responding. They hadn't heard the songs before they got there. It's a very spontaneous reaction from the other musicians to the music.
That definitely results in a real palpable vibe.
There's an energy there that you can't fake.
Do you tend to read a lot when you're writing lyrics?
No, not really…Especially this time, it was a very focused effort. There was a very disciplined approach to writing songs. I really locked myself in this writing room for two months. Sometimes I was in there from 8 in the morning until 10:30 or 11 at night. I would just work on them. Some days, I would hit nothing but dead ends, but I forced myself to keep punching in every day and doing it. It was interesting for me to try it that way.
Was all of the music done before you started writing lyrics?
Just bits and pieces were done. I'd have a melody to build off of, but there was a lot of unfinished stuff when I started. It was interesting and different.
Each song is genuinely vivid in its own right. They're all like individual movies.
Well, thank you! That's very nice of you…
The title track "God Willin' & The Creek Don't Rise" really stands out. Is there a story behind that song?
It was tricky. It was taking its time revealing itself to me. I just had this melody that I was whistling—the pedal steel part at the beginning—running over those chords. Once the lyrics started, they drove the song pretty quickly. It took awhile for that lyric to reveal itself. Two verses into it, I started to realize it was a letter. Then it became clear it was a letter from a cow-punch back to his gal. He's writing back to her wondering if he can see her again. Once that revealed itself, the music followed that this time, which is a little different than how it's been in the past. The music flows like a letter as well. There's no repeating chorus; it just reads top to bottom. It was an interesting experiment to try.
So the visual of this letter dictated the song?
Yeah, that drove it.
Is there a theme that runs throughout the whole album for you?
Well, I don't think so, not lyrically. It's not like a concept album. It's really just a band record. I think the fact that it is a band record ties it all together and gives it the sense of being whole. This is the first time I've made a record like that.
At the same time, that landscape has allowed you to still write personally.
I suppose so. There's always going to be a bit of that. A lot of the songs are stories and emotional truths. Maybe they're not specifically relating to me, but the emotional core of it is always true, no matter what the lyric is. It's always been like that though.
"For the Summer" feels really cinematic too. What's up with that one?
That's neat. It's not real specific. It's still a bit distant from me. I liked the changes. Again, it's a little strange; it ends on a bridge. It's like a bridge to nowhere at the end [Laughs]. I like to mess around with traditional forms of songs. "Are We Really True" has sort of a strange form as well. Loving the tradition of American songwriting, I also like to subvert it a little bit and mess with the forms. I've done that in the past with "All the Wild Horses," "Gossip in the Grain" and those kinds of songs. They're strange tweaking of traditional forms.
Which books do you always come back to?
Henderson the Rain King by Saul Bellow is a book that I re-read every couple of years. I highly recommend that book. It's beautiful. Another would be Annie Dillard's Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. That's another book that I go back to. They're just beautiful written and so vivid. Annie Dillard is so poetic and deep that you get something new out of it every time you read it. The same goes for Bellow. It's just a great story, and it's very unique.
Your songs are very literary.
Songs continue to fascinate me and interest me because it's a unique form of storytelling. There are all of these things working together—the melody, the arrangement, the lyrics and a vocal to carry it and express the emotional content and make it effective. All of these things have to work together flawlessly. It's not something I can claim to really know how to do, but it's a really fascinating form. I enjoy it.
What do you dig about The Pariah Dogs?
They're really wonderful musicians, every one of them. They have very individual voices with their instruments, which is why I really wanted to capture this. We've been playing live together off and on. It's magical.
What is it about New England that you love?
I don't know what it is. It's just in my bones. I've been all over the world and all over the country. It's beautiful, but there's something about New England that always draws me back and welcomes me in. It's the very distinct seasons and changing of seasons that I love so much. It's a very grounding place. It keeps you aware of the impermanence of things. Death, re-birth and all of that are all there. For me, it's home. I love it.
The woods are the most beautiful anywhere.
There's something special about it. There really is.
Which records really shaped you?
I go back to music from Big Pink still. I go back to Astral Weeks. I'm obviously digging into other things too. You move away from the things that initially inspired you. There's so much music out there to be discovered. I'm always listening to something else or discovering something else. I've been listening to a lot of Lee Dorsey. Alan Toussaint wrote a lot of songs for Lee Dorsey so I've been discovering his music. Lately, I've been listening to a lot of Little Walter, Chicago blues rock player. He's really amazing. I've been listening to the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. I'm still digging through the stacks of record stores trying to find something I haven't heard before.
It must be just as tough to find the record stores themselves…
[Laughs] Yeah, it is!
What's the next step?
I'm always working on new stuff. We're just going to tour this record through the fall next Winter, spring summer, I don't like to go too long in between making records.

By fostering a genuine interest in the subject through daily application of skills and knowledge, we aim to ensure that every student achieves excellence. Each student is supported through attending engaging lessons and the use of up to date resources, which challenge and motivate them. Sociology students will form new perspectives of society and start to question social factors that once went unnoticed.
Key Stage 5
Sociology is a subject based on grand theories which have attempted to explain society as a whole, and smaller scale theories which consider the implications of our everyday experiences and interactions. These theories create a secure base upon which key elements of our social world can be applied.

Finally, Some Real Proof That Google Apps Is A Threat To Microsoft
Google Apps has been around for almost five years, and the company claims 30 million end users at 3 million businesses are using it.
But those statistics are too vague to show whether the product is actually successful -- many of those customers may be conducting limited trials or using the free version.
But new study released today from systems integrator White Stratus, a Google Apps reseller, offers concrete proof that the product is getting real traction among large businesses.
In January and February, White Stratus surveyed 2,030 U.S. companies with more than 250 employees, and talked in depth to 232 IT departments selected randomly from those companies. Here's a summary of what they found:
- Google Apps is getting popular. Almost 20% of the companies surveyed have deployed Google Apps in some form.
- Especially among big companies. Penetration was highest among companies with more than 10,000 employees -- this contradicts the conventional wisdom that Apps is only for smaller businesses.
- It's not just pilots. Of these Google Apps customers, about one-third of IT department heads surveyed said that they were using Google Apps throughout their organization -- not just in pilot programs.
- It's huge in education. Google Apps was most popular by far in the education industry, with nearly 60% penetration. But it's also gaining traction in media companies, professional services, and utilities.

I just installed Julia-0.5.0-rc3 on Windows 10, then Atom 1.99, and finally uber-juno.
When I click Julia > Start Julia, I get the error that it didn't find Julia and that I could change the path in the settings.
Thing is, when I click settings, I don't find where I can change the path.
This is probably a trivial question, but I didn't find a thread about it, or a documentation. In all other threads people seem to just know where that is. I'm probably blind or something.
Settings > Packages > Julia-client > Settings > Julia Path
Nrg! I've just been through the same hoops as you, and read over a dozen different versions of the same advice to change the path in the settings, but the way atom defaulted for me, the settings were hidden. The trick (eventually!) was to notice the very subtle scroll-bar on the right hand side. Being new to all this, that realisation had me beating my desk with my fist! So anyone struggling to find the path settings for julia-client.. just scroll down!
;) much relief....

Every once in a while a project just comes together and works out better than I imagined it would. Barely every once in a while. This project was just that. My inspiration for this project came from West Elm:
I looooove this piece and with a boy about to turn 12 it would be perfect in his room. If it wasn't for that darn price tag. Priming for an IKEA hack, right? I bought the MALM dresser:
A friend had this awesome barn wood from her uncles cabin in beautiful Moab, Utah she gave to me. No joke.
And from there it just all fell together. Here are the steps:
- Remove 1/4 inch from the front of the drawers. I used a planer, which worked like a charm. If you don't have a planer option you can cut it with a band saw, use a fence to guide a straight cut. If you don't have a planer or a band saw glue to barn wood directly to the face, it just won't be flush with the dresser and will stick out a little bit.
- Prepare the barn wood: Start by cutting the front of the barn wood to 1/4 inch. Then cut the wood down to size. This is the funnest part because barn wood is just so freakin' cool.
- Prepare the drawer faces, for the West Elm look use two boards on each drawer face. If there are holes you can see the pressed board through spray paint the face before gluing the barn wood.
- Glue barn wood to the drawer face, use a fine finishing brad nail to secure board to the face.
- Use a router to trim any extra edges and add a lacquer or finish spray.
- Assemble the ikea dresser and then stand back and feel super rad because this project is AMAZING!
Here's another look in the boys room near the new wall mural:
I would love to see this project if you do it! And, follow me on instagram, I've been posting this and other projects like it.
Happy Creating!

Discontinued App
...The main contents of the application : This book is a book of Sci-Fi paintings "Motoichiro TAKEBE Sci-Fi Illustrations", a work in two volumes, published in March 2006 which is re-edited for the iPad version. The covers, frontispieces, and illustrations painted between 1965 and 1979 are chronologically included in this book. After moved up to Tokyo in 1957, Takebe actively painted the illustrations in books for children and so on, while from 1960 he started to paint the cover illustration and other illustrations of the Mars Series whose first volume is  "A Princess of Mars" written by Edgar Rice Burroughs and published by Tokyo Sogensha Co.,. This work made him widely known by Sci-Fi fans. He worked in Sci-Fi painting between 1960s and 1970s. The major works are as follows: Mars Series and Venus Series and Pellucidar Series written by Burroughs published by Tokyo Sogensha Co.,, Tarzan Series published by Hayakawa Publishing Corporation, and Conan Series written by Robert Ervin Howard published by Hayakawa Publishing Corporation. ...the basic operation: ◎Long-press: on-off of a menu or to go back to the main screen. ◎Tap on screen: tapping on the right side is to go back to the next page and tapping on the left side is to go back to the previous page. ◎Because the number of the included works is large, the size of files is big. It may take a little bit of time to download or transfer them. ...The plan for publishing: ◎The works of Takebe, which Kaoru Kurimoto owned and gave to Yayoi Museum of Tokyo after she deceased and were not included in "Motoichiro TAKEBE Sci-Fi Illustrations", work in two volumes, in 2006, are added into the complete version which you can update for free. The complete version is plan to be sold at ¥2,400 in Spring of 2011. ◎Following the iPad version of "Motoichiro TAKEBE Sci-Fi Illustrations", the iPad version of paintings which are "Motoichiro TAKEBE Illustrations for juvenilia", "Motoichiro TAKEBE Illustrations for picture books", "Motoichiro TAKEBE Illustrations for encyclopedia", and "Sketch Collection by Motoichiro TAKEBE" is planning.

Phone use often cause of auto crashes new study finds
Use of mobile phones while driving may be the single most important factor causing car crashes in recent years according to a new study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute.
|The data comes from a $70 million study by the Institute funded by the U.S. Transportation Research Board. Use of phones while driving was repeatedly caught on video during the study. The research collected a huge amount of data. The study observed driving during 55 million kilometers from autos with video cameras and other sensors. More than 3,500 drivers were involved. Distracted driving was found to double the crash risk, and occurred in more than half of all crashes.
"The overall level of distraction suprized us quite a bit. Over half the time, the drivers are doing something other than driving, such as messing with the radio, messing with their cell phones, looking around at something not related to driving, or interacting with passengers."Dingus and his colleagues analyzed crash risk factors from a huge study that was collected between 2011 and 2013 the second Strategic Highway Research Program Naturalistic Driving Study (SHRP 2 NDS).

- Hi
We decided to stop the aspirin and the plavix. The cardiologist had already
suggested this and I`m going to start Nattokinase in the morning. I`m also
going to stop the antibiotic unless her diarrhoea came back.
The cardio said that as long as she has the frucimide and vetmedin, that's
good enough for now. She loves the fortekor so is getting that and the
atenolol and spiro are on hold. With five vomits in an hour, she really was
struggling to breathe and that's no life.
I`m going to see my vet tomorrow and look in the health shop for the
slippery elm. Thankyou so much for all your suggestions. I`m just not prepared
to ram pills down her as every time she collapses with the stress. Natto
should take over from the plavix?
She had a heart attack, but no clots were seen at all on the echo. The
blood flow was also quite strong, despite the damage. Her blood pressure is
permanently low at the moment, so that was another reason to go for just fruci
and vetmedin.
Oh, what a balancing act!! Wish me luck.
Lyn :)

11 year old son with a possible underactive thyroid
My son had some blood tests recently to check if his thyroid is underactive (still waiting for the results). He does have quite a few symtoms which makes me think it is underactive (tiredness, irritability, very anxious etc.). If he's given medication for this will i see an immediate change? Is thyroid medication very effective?
Thank you


text: a few years ago i made my first suit and first costume ever, since then i have been over on the 405th working on spartan things. but now i have returned to where it all began. the first time around i had only 3 months and no experience to fumble through and complete my suit, many corners were cut, and while i was happy with the results it was far from my dream. So now with plenty of time and patience, i have returned to build the suit i originally envisioned. Armed with my experiences of the first suit and all of the things i have learned working on my spartan suit, i feel i can go into this with a lot more confidence. selfie with the first suit new bio almost ready to start the paint up vs old bio new mask vs old mask new donor suit vs first suit the first suit was based from a superman muscle chest, but since then the price of those has gone higher than i am willing to pay, so the new base is a vision suit from the avengers. the pros of this choice was the price being cheaper, i quite liked the base muscle definition and it is a lot more comfortable around the neck ( the superman suit neck was bulky and rubbed alot). my only con for the suit so far is that the fabric is much thinner than the superman suit and i fear that one the latex has been put on and cured the fact that the fabric is much thinner will make it flap around alot more and stick to it' self easier. i definitely expect that the latex will saturate the thinner fabric and stick the mannequin underneath where as the superman suit only minor amounts of the latex went through to the other side. but my first order of business will be to sew in a fly and a zipper on the back.

How To Get Free Supplies For Your Classroom, by Cindy Ingram, The Art Curator For Kids
Below is Raquel Redmond's video - she has lots of ideas to create art with recycled objects:
Caroline Trewhella, an elementary art teacher in Jefferson County, recently started an ingenious fund-raiser for her art program. She had her students make footprints (with shoes on) in clay, then she cut out pendants from the textured slabs. She is selling them for $5 apiece - brilliant!
Money saving projects:
- Amate bark "paintings" from Mexico (we used colored pencils on brown paper grocery sacks)
- Huichol Indian yarn "paintings" (on cardboard)
- Paper mosaics based on Ancient Roman art. The paper mosaic project is a great way to recycle colored paper!

text: By Jeffrey S. Moller The maritime law community is awaiting the next pronouncement by the U.S. Supreme Court pertaining to the definition of a Jones Act seaman. In February, the high court announced that it would review the decision of the First Circuit Court of Appeals in Stewart v. Dutra Construction Co., Inc. The definition of seaman has proven to be a nagging problem; this will be the fifth time since 1991 that the Justices have tackled some aspect of the question. Most injured maritime workers would prefer to pursue recovery as a "seaman". There are several reasons for this. First and foremost, the damages recoverable under the Jones Act are not limited to lost wages and benefits, but also include an important component for "pain and suffering". This category of damages, designed to compensate for such intangibles as the loss of life's pleasures and/or the discomfort and inconvenience associated with injury and treatment, can serve to multiply the seaman's recovery. Generally speaking, a maritime worker who does not acquire Jones Act status is relegated to the formulaic and limited benefits of the federal Longshore and Harbor Worker's Compensation Act ("LHWCA"), which awards only medical expenses and a percentage of lost wages. Secondly, the theoretical advantage to the claimant of the compensation scheme set out by the LHWCA, the elimination of any requirement to prove negligence or fault of the employer, is somewhat illusory. While it is true that the Jones Act technically requires a showing that the employer was negligent, the court decisions interpreting the Act have set a very low threshold for this proof. The cases say that a Jones Act seaman need only prove "slight negligence" on the part of his employer and/or show that the negligence played "any part, however slight" in the bringing about of his injury. Finally and most significantly, a bona fide seaman is entitled to sue for injuries owing to a breach of the "warranty of seaworthiness". The unseaworthiness cause of action is what is referred to as a strict liability remedy. The seaman need only prove that some condition on the vessel was unsafe without having to prove how that condition was created or whether or not the owner or a senior crewman was even aware of its existence. And the damages allowable for a breach of the seaworthiness warranty are at least as great as those attainable under the Jones Act. The Jones Act statute itself contains no definition of "seaman". The definition has been set forth by various court decisions and has evolved from the early rule that required the worker to prove him or herself to be a prototypical sailor, directly involved in the navigation or propulsion operation of the vessel (able to "hand, reef and steer"), to the current law which allows a hairdresser or floral designer on a cruise ship to be entitled to the Jones Act remedy. As the rule is currently expressed, the worker must show that he or she has an employment connection to a vessel (or fleet of vessels) in navigation, which connection is substantial both in terms of duration and nature, and that his/her employment contributes to the work of the vessel. In the Stewart v. Dutra case now being considered by the Supreme Court, the specific issue is whether or not the dredge to which Mr. Stewart was attached as a crewman was or was not a "vessel in navigation". Mr. Stewart, an engineer, was injured while at work aboard one of the dredge's attendant scows. The First Circuit Court of Appeals had little trouble, based upon its own prior precedent, in affirming the trial court's decision that the dredge was not a vessel in navigation, owing primarily to the fact that the dredge was more a construction vessel than a vessel involved in transporting goods or passengers. An earlier case in the First Circuit, dealing with a construction crane barge, had left open the possibility that a crewman from such a vessel could be a Jones Act seaman at certain times, such as when the construction vessel was in actual navigation or transit. The Circuit Court in Stewart partially sealed that loophole, however, by holding that any navigation or transit of the vessel which takes place as part of the primary construction function, such as shifting the dredge from shoal to shoal within the harbor, would not change the basic nature or function of the vessel. The test is really in two parts: (1) is the object or structure a "vessel"; and (2) is it in navigation? To be a vessel, the thing must float and be capable of transporting passengers, cargo or equipment on navigable waters. To be in navigation, the vessel has to be in service. A drilling platform that is fixed to the bottom is not a "vessel". A cruise ship permanently attached to the dock as a floating restaurant is not "in navigation". The Supreme Court usually opts to decide only those cases which present conflicts between the decisions of the several Circuit Courts. This is the situation with the "vessel in navigation" question, the application of which has resulted in different outcomes. With regard to floating work platforms such as dredges and construction barges, the "in navigation" requirement seems to be the source of the present conflict. Some courts require that the injury be shown to have taken place while the vessel was moving on a transportation-related mission, while others have been satisfied if the vessel was simply capable of such a mission. The forthcoming decision is of interest to various groups, most of whom favor a broad definition. Amicus Curiae ("friends of the court") briefs have been submitted by the American Trial Lawyers Association (i.e., the plaintiffs lawyers), by a seafarers union group, and also by the U.S. Department of Justice - all of which are urging the Court to decide that dredges are vessels in navigation. The U.S. Labor Department, which administers the LHWCA, has always maintained that dredge crewmembers are not longshoremen or harborworkers and is asking the Court to adopt a definition consistent with that past practice. Seemingly alone on the other side of the issue are the marine insurers and P&I Clubs. Jones Act cases are expensive from their point of view given the large and often uncertain jury verdicts and the cost of defense lawyer fees. Although the costs of benefits under the LHWCA would fall to many of those same insurers, the workers compensation process involves lower numbers and greater certainty. The more interesting question is where the interests of the vessel owners or construction companies lies. One might expect that insurance premiums and other costs associated with workforce injuries might be decreased if the LHWCA were deemed to apply. On the other hand, there may exist a fear that with LHWCA coverage would come jurisdiction of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration ("OSHA") and its broad authority to regulate and impose workplace safety standards. OSHA regulations would potentially impose a number of safety related costs which, not being related to a specific injury claim but being prophylactic in nature, could not be handed off to an insurance company. There has been an on again off again debate for many years with respect to the wisdom of seeking to repeal the Jones Act and bringing seafarers under a workers compensation scheme. Many seagoing countries have such compensation schemes in place for their national seamen and there seems to be little reason why in the present age seagoing workers should be given different treatment from any other type of worker. Indeed, the largest group of civilian mariners in the U.S., those employed by the U.S. Military Sealift Command, are subject to the workers compensation program set up by the Federal Employees Compensation Act. Organized labor and the trial lawyers, whose interests seem always to be tightly conjoined, would certainly oppose a repeal of the Jones Act, which in itself would make for a costly battle in Washington. But one would think that the potential savings for the owners and insurers would make it a fight worth waging. As it is, many if not all owners employ an informal workers compensation scheme. They are already required to pay medical bills by virtue of the maritime law of maintenance and cure, but many go much further than this by voluntarily paying their injured seamen half or three-quarter wages under various disability plans without any showing of fault or blame on the vessel. Many of those seamen eventually sue under the Jones Act anyway. Therefore, if the pencils were sharpened and all the beans were counted, a workers compensation scheme covering all seamen might prove to be economically beneficial to the industry. It certainly would save the Supreme Court the interminable trouble of having to define a "seaman". Mr. Moller, a partner in the firm of Blank Rome LLP, is a maritime lawyer in Philadelphia..

Now I know what you're thinking about the title. It's either "Hey, Jash, you gave a huge spoiler about the game!" or "Of course Paul Serene is a villain!".
To the former, I want to point out that he's played by Aidan Gillen, infamous for his role of Littlefinger in the HBO show Game of Thrones, and him playing a villain is sort of obvious. Plus his reveal as the villain happens within the first act of the game.
To the latter, I want to point out that judging someone's villainy becomes harder once you look at their motives and how time travel really works in Quantum Break's universe.
Now if you're concerned about big spoilers I would suggest to not continue to read until you've played the game or watched a Let's Play of it.
When I say Paul isn't a villain I don't mean he is a good guy. There is no denying that he does some very bad things, including killing Mer-I mean William Joyce. Or at least intending to kill Will in their encounter near the start of the game.
Depending on your choices in the game, Paul has all the witnesses to what happened at the university killed.
So when I say not a villain, I don't mean Paul's hands are anywhere near clean. What I'm saying is that Paul's intentions play a huge part in judging him as a character. If you listen to his recordings you can hear, very clearly, that he is regretful for what he does but he sees no other way.
He wants to save some of humanity so that it can continue and he's more than willing to make the hard choices so our species can go on.
I also can't rule Paul out as a total villain as how time travel works in Quantum Break is unclear. There are many a times when characters say that time can't be changed (Paul Serene and Beth Wilder notably) and that they failed to change a small event.
Jack Joyce, the protagonist of Quantum Break, is the only one who time travels that seems to think there is any hope at changing time.
So if time can't be changed, no matter what happens, then preparing for the future is the only thing that can be done. No matter how cruel it sounds, if time can't be changed then you can't keep trying to stop something that will happen.
Every action will always lead to the same result.
This is what Paul Serene believed and he was prepared to be cursed just so humanity would have a fighting chance.
I do hope that we see more Paul Serene if a sequel to Quantum Break happens. The ending is left open for him not to be dead. If he's not dead then he can come back.
Do you classify Paul as a villain and what do you think he would be like in a possible sequel?
