Since 2014, Kurt Eckardt has been consistently releasing freaked-out punk explorations under the name Astral Skulls, and while the project has developed and grown over the years, his latest offering 'Light Noises' marks the closing of a chapter and opening of the next - as his final solo release before taking the project down a more collaborative road. Appropriately so, the track is so direct and candid that it plays like an invitation into Kurt's psyche, a fitting way to send off his solo project.
Kicking off with a blown-out drum track, 'Light Noises' opens itself up with an atmospherical guitar and some fuzzed-out undertones. The track quickly takes on an unsettling groove, that feels hypnotic and jarring at the same time, and chugs away consistently for the remainder of the track. Although the dynamics remain relatively unmoving, it's Kurt's sincere vocals that take control and shape 'Light Noises'. With his deep, unaffected voice, he builds a dark and brooding scene, and as each line passes, the track seems to grow more and more intense. Despite the unchanging instrumentation, the song hits its tipping point as Kurt sings "you just fade away from me", and when the backing suddenly stops, you're hit with a jolting sense of relief that almost feels like waking up from a bad dream.
Trouble Juice had a chat with Kurt to find out the story behind 'Light Noises' and what's to come next for Astral Skulls.
For the uninitiated, who is Astral Skulls?
Astral Skulls is a project that I started in my bedroom in 2014. I put a few things online, and once I added guitars it kind of found its place. I put out a 7" and then an album called contact:light in 2015, which was all about outer space, and space was a running theme for a while there. For the album tour, my partner Kalindy started playing synths live and eventually started doing some back up vocals. She's played live in Astral Skulls ever since and has helped with the writing and recording process heaps.
As of April this year, Astral Skulls has been a 4 piece. With the addition of live drums and bass it's taken on a whole new sound, so while we're still playing songs I've brought to the band at the moment, the new band members have really added to the direction and focus of those songs and we'll start writing more collaboratively as of now. The bass player is Gemma from Mares, No Sister, and many more bands, and the drummer is Hamish who plays in Eat Man, Muscle Mate, Burger Chef and more. It's soooo much fun playing with a full band!
What's the story behind 'Light Noises'?
Well, it's a bit different to typical Astral Skulls stuff as it's super personal – usually my lyrics are a bit obscure, or analogous or subtle, but 'Light Noises' is about something really specific. It was written about the death of my Dad which happened a little while ago. I was in Melbourne and he was in hospital in Brisbane for a while before he died. While I visited as often as I could, being away from my family at that time was super hard.
'Light Noises' is really about the feeling that while all you want in the world is for everyone you love to live forever, sometimes it might be better for them (and for us) to let go. It's something that's not talked about very often, but if you've been in a similar situation you might know where I'm coming from. I battled pretty hard with feelings of guilt surrounding these thoughts, and the fact that I wasn't there when he died. The name, 'Light Noises', is actually taken from a photo that I took, which I used for the cover art. Someone had written it on a fluro light in a laundromat in Preston. Those words just remind me of the sounds of those hospital rooms, when the person you're visiting is hardly even with you – they're asleep or worse - and you just notice all the bleeps and buzzes and whirring sounds in the room around you. It almost becomes deafening.
You've mentioned you've got a bit more music on the horizon, but this single is to be a completely stand alone track. Why's that?
'Light Noises' is a song that was going to be on the second Astral Skulls album, but I've decided to keep it separate for a few reasons. Mainly, I just can't let go of the drum track, I just like it a lot, whereas the new album will feature live drums. It's also that because it's so personal, it doesn't feel as appropriate to include it on what will be a collaborative release. Just kind of one last solo song before the next stage of the band, which is going to sound pretty different!
Alongside Astral Skulls you're also a pretty prolific music photographer and half of Hearts and Rockets. How do you find time for everything?
I don't!! Geez I'd get so much more music out if I left myself a little bit more time. I also work full time at PBS FM and run a label (Psychic Hysteria) which puts out a couple of releases each year so I'm constantly working. If I'm not at a computer doing some promo for an upcoming release I'm in the studio writing or recording songs. Photography has had to take a bit of a back seat this past few months, I mostly do it for fun anyway. I guess it's just about being organised and prioritising things, and trying to work on one project at a time. For example, the weekend just gone was about getting this Astral Skulls single out, next weekend I'm recording the next Hearts and Rockets 7", and through the week I'm working on the next release for Psychic Hysteria which we're announcing Wednesday.
How's the rest of the year shaping up for Astral Skulls?
We're launching the 'Light Noises' single on Monday July 16 in Melbourne at Northcote Social Club with Other Places, ATOM and Activities of Daily Living, then taking a bit of a breather while we work on a new set. I'd like to release an album with the full band early next year so we'll get to recording that in the next few months. I actually have an album written and half recorded, but we'll see where the new line up takes those songs before we decide which way to go.

Crosstown Station wins Cornerstone Energy Award
Zahner project in Crossroads, Kansas City wins the 2014 EDC Cornerstone Award.
The KCP&L Crosstown Substation designed by Pendulum with artist Jim Woodfill has won the 2014 EDC Cornerstone Award. The award will be given on May 21st at Union Station in Kansas City. The project features solar panel power system, a kinetic light artwork, and custom perforated and patinated Solanum weathering steel.
Related Project
Crosstown Substation
The architects at Pendulum developed a synthesizing design which combines elements of public art, architecture, and kinetic motion-based visual arts to create a low-profile barrier wall wrapping the KCP&L Substation. Prior to the new design, the corner of 18th and Locust was deteriorating. KCP&L replaced the wall with a new design, including commissioned artwork, that would reflect the Crossroads' artistic community spirit. .The winning design by Pendulum included a space for the light artist James Woodfill to create a kinetic display. As the sun sets, an animated display of lights takes over: 10,500 color-changing LED lights alternate to create an illusion of motion, powered by 117 solar panels.

There either is or is not, that's the way things are. The colour of the day. The way it felt to be a child. The saltwater on your sunburnt legs. Sometimes the water is yellow, sometimes it's red. But what colour it may be in memory, depends on the day. I'm not going to tell you the story the way it happened. I'm going to tell it the way I remember it.
Oh boy. Well folks, it's come to that time again. No, not the start of fall, though that was last week, officially. It's now about to be October, so we're definitely out of the summer, even if the weather doesn't suggest that. However, we're not here to talk weather, but whether or not some screenplays are getting awards. Yes, today I'm continuing on down the line with the last of the big eight categories and finishing off with the other writing one…yes, Best Original Screenplay.
Yesterday, the cinematic landscape was finally altered by Martin Scorsese's long brewing gangster epic The Irishman. Opening up the 57th New York Film Festival, the movie partners Scorsese with Netflix for their most ambitious work yet. Buzz had been huge for months, but until early Friday morning no one knew if it was truly any good. Well, I can state firsthand that it's one of the year's best films and a surefire awards contender. Scorsese and company knocked this one out of the park, yet again.
We are moving right along with this series folks! As you fine ladies and gentlemen must all know by now and be potentially sick of hearing from me, it's one thing entirely to read early Academy Award predictions. You do it in order to see what pundits like myself think will happen this winter, but, as I've often said, it's a whole separate thing to actually know something about who and what will be in contention.
Back at the Sundance Film Festival, buzz was pretty strong initially for Corporate Animals, a satirical comedy. Most of it centered on how Demi Moore would fare in a baity role. Well, Sundance came and went, with middling response to the film. Sometimes, that's just the nature of the festival. However, in this case, people were on to something. Despite a clever premise and some funny lines here and there, this is a bit of a misfire.

i have more watches than i wish to count, but this one may be my favorite diver. i love the fact that you can wind it--unlike the 7s26 movement seikos....
El reloj que pedí era tal cual el que me llegó !!! Precioso y a la mitad de precio que aquí en España!! El envío correcto de tiempo lo esperado envío lento con correo certificado y sin aduanas , tardo un mes!! Gracias por todo
Thanks for prompt delivery,able to track online. I've been wearing it for a week and it is very comfortable on my wrist with it's rubber strap.While not as accurate as my Seiko kinetic divers (inevitably),it's easily reset due to the hacking feature.Very satisfied and would recommend your service.
This watch is excellent! It arrived quickly, and the chapter ring alignment is perfect! My lower rating is due to the recent price increases that seem to have affected many watches in the Seiko Prospex line (at Creation Watches). I paid $249 for this watch in Jan 2018, and at that price it is a 5 star watch. Soon after I purchased it, the price more than doubled to $505. This watch can be had from many online retailers for under $400, and a few under $250. I would expect more from the watch if I had paid over $500, hence the 4 star rating.
Great watch and great service from this company. Would recommend to anyone.
Great service from Creation! Watch arrived in perfect condition. Delivery was very swift via DHL, although expect to pay handling and customs charges to the UK (clearly stated in terms and conditions). I will be returning to Creation for all of my future watch needs.
The watch is brilliant and came as described I love it. Came with the seiko signed and dated warranty and with instructions.
First off, excellent watch! Seiko did their job as usual. Second Creation watches delivered within top time to the Netherlands, had my order in 5 days, including a weekend. Most shops in my country can not deliver in this time frame. Clear communications and good customer service, second time i ordered, will be ordering again. Keep up the high quality Creation!
I ordered a Seiko SRP779J1 "Turtle" and am very impressed by the service I received and the quality of the watch. It was shipped the next working day after I ordered it and It arrived At my address in the UK 3 days later. Very impressive turnaround! The watch is just as I expected, great quality and working perfectly. I am very pleased with my purchase and the servive I have received and would have no qualms ordering another watch in the future. Thanks very much.
Beautiful watch, very comfortable case on the wrist. No issues with misallignments. Excellent service. I emailed CW to guarantee me they will send a watch without the misalligned bezel and they replied me promtly and ensured me that they would check before shipping. I recommend people to buy from this site. The prices are competitive and service is amazing. Shortly after receiving my watch, I placed another for my wife.
This is my first Seiko watch and love the SRP779 Turtle. Shipping was fast to the USA from Singapore and was packaged well. This will not be my last purchase at CreationWatches or my last Seiko. This was the lowest price I could find for this specific watch also, thanks!
Thank you Raul, and Jason. My fourth order over as many years. Delivered on time and as described; always a pleasure. The watch is excellent.
Very pleased with my purchase.. Great watch and with all the seiko paper work and box .Delivered quickly .Brilliant service,thank you.

Man In High School Standoff Has Record
A 22-Year-Old Man Involved In High School Standoff has a lengthy criminal record.
Wayne Cordova, the 22-year-old man responsible for the standoff at Sandia High School on Friday, has been convicted numerous times before according to police reports.
Cordova's arrests record states that in 2003 he had eleven criminal charges filed against him. In Oct. 2009 he was arrested for receiving and transporting a stolen vehicle. He pled guilty to most of the offenses against him. On some of his offenses he was released on certain conditions, while others were dismissed by the prosecutor.
We need help from our friends in the District Attorney's Office, help from people in the community because it's sad, it's sad to see someone with that many arrests come into a violent confrontation with the police department, said TJ Wilham, with Public Safety Communications.
Action 7 News reporter Christie Ileto contacted the District Attorney's office for answers on why some of Cordova's charges were dismissed. The DA's office said that they would reveal more on Monday.
The standoff happened on the heels of Mayor Berry's plan to crackdown on property crimes.
Cordova is at UNM Hospital in critical condition after being shot by police in Friday's standoff.

Hi all,
I succesfully installed 10.5.5 on my 901 after some trial and error, seems to be very stable, I'm very happy! (no sound/ethernet of course)
I have a 2Gb SD card inserted in the reader slot for additional storage.
I've added the Kext to sleep the machine when the lid closes. When the device comes out of sleep I get the "Device Removal" warning message (like I would if I pulled a pen drive out of my iMac without unmounting first).
If I remember to unmount the SD card everythings OK and the card automounts when the machine wakes up, but is there a way to stop the warning message? i.e close the lid without having to unmount?
I make sure nothing is accessing the SD card before closing the lid.


text: I recently put an Alltone 1250 in a buddies old 65 Deluxe Reverb and was surprised by the tone. First time I have heard this speaker. It sounded so close to my original C12N's I couldn't believe it. Much closer than the other replica's I have tried. I might even like it more than the original C12N with that amp. Definitely tighter in the bottom and a little less icepick. What do you guys think of the 1250? Are they still available? Price? Anybody have one they want to sell? How do the 10's compare to the 12's? Thanks <M

Mercedes-Benz G Class
The Mercedes-Benz G Class has been climbing mountains since it was designed as a military vehicle way back in 1979. Since then it has gotten lots of luxury added, but didn't lose its off-road ability. An all-new model bowed this year for the first time, and keeps the tradition going.
It has 10.6-inches of ground clearance, and 27.6-inches of water fording. It's also stable on a 35-degree side slope, and has the ability to climb up to a 100 percent slope. That's 45 degrees, steeper than you could walk up. Three locking differentials make sure that no wheels are left spinning on their own, and that as much power makes it to the ground as possible. Want to get to the trail as quickly as possible? The G 63 offers a twin-turbo 4.0L V8 that makes 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque. That'll get you there in a hurry. Even if it couldn't actually take you off-road, it looks like it can go anywhere. And for some people, that's all they really wanted anyway.
Chevrolet Tahoe
The Chevrolet Tahoe offers the same Z71 off-road kit as the Silverado pickup, and it can give the big Tahoe some big off-road chops. The Z71 takes the 355 hp 5.3L V8-powered Tahoe and adds 18-inch wheels with off-road tires, a high capacity air cleaner, a low-range transfer case to the all-wheel drive system, and hill descent control. The Z71 comes with stiffer suspension tuning to help it keep the wheels on the dirt and perform better off road. Hill descent control works to take you slowly and smoothly down steep slopes. It also offers a 4G LTE hotspot that lets you go online from the woods. The Z71 pack comes with recovery hooks in case you get really stuck, or so you can help out someone else who is. It also has rubber mats to protect the carpets should you get too dirty when you're in the outdoors.
If you want to take the whole family off-road, and maybe bring the neighbours too, the Tahoe's big brother Suburban gives seating for up to nine people and still has cargo space behind the third row to let you bring along all of your gear.
Lexus LX 570
The Lexus LX has long been an impressively capable SUV, and one that you might not think of because it wears the Lexus badge. But underneath the Lexus luxury are Toyota Land Cruiser bones. It boasts 8.9-inches of ground clearance with an active height suspension that drops 3.0-inches to allow for easy exit and entry. Crawl control works like off-road cruise control to let the computers do the work of getting you over rough terrain. It even has a turn assist system that will brake the inside rear wheel to let you turn more sharply than the vehicle could otherwise.
The LX 570 uses a Torsen limited-slip center differential that sends power to the axle that needs it. You can lock that diff off-road when things get really slippery to make sure power is going to both axles. The selectable traction control system has five different terrain modes to optimise the truck's response for any terrain. The LX will take you almost anywhere in ventilated seat comfort. Want more cargo and aren't bringing many people with you? Lexus just released a new two-row version that trades the extra seats in the back for more cargo space.
Subaru Forester
Most of these are big and expensive SUVs, but crossover buyers don't need to be left out of the off-road party. They just need to look a little harder. There are still some crossovers that work well off-road, like the Subaru Forester. The Forester has two all-wheel drive systems. One is for manual-transmission vehicles that have a viscous-coupling locking center differential that sends power to the wheels with more grip. The CVT version has an electronically controlled diff that manages torque based on traction, and what you're trying to do.
The CVT Forester has a driver-selectable X-Mode for the drivetrain that changes the engine and transmission controls for off-road use. It also changes how the differential engages to optimize traction and allow for the mild wheelspin that can keep you moving in slick terrain. The Forester offers 8.7-inches of ground clearance, much more than your average crossover. And Subaru's suspension tuning and the Forester's light weight make for a soft and comfortable ride when you're throwing it down some gravel. It's definitely earned its spot on the best off road SUV list.View on One Page

Nardin Academy is proud to announce the groundbreaking for a new gymnasium and wellness center on the Auburn Avenue side of its Cleveland Avenue campus. The ceremony took place on Thursday, May 16, 2019.
The facility will include a regulation-sized competition gymnasium and locker rooms which will be raised above the school's parking lot. A wellness center will be located on the ground floor, along with athletics and physical education offices, and a plaza with an open lobby.
The addition will physically connect the elementary school on the west side of the property to the high school on the east side, for the first time in the Academy's 129-year history on Cleveland Avenue.
"A competition gymnasium will allow Nardin to maximize activity time and adopt a more flexible curriculum," said President Marsha Joy Sullivan. "We will now be able to host tournaments with space for families and other spectators and build a stronger sense of community in our own building by physically connecting the elementary and high schools."
A wellness center will allow Nardin community members to engage in activities that promote physical and mental health and personal growth. It will house strength and conditioning training space and incorporate fitness classes, mindfulness exercises, meditation, yoga, and educational programming which will address health-related topics and holistic approaches.
"The importance of educating the whole child – in mind and in body – has always been the foundation of Nardin's educational philosophy," said Lisa Walsh, chairwoman of the Academy's Board of Trustees. "This expansion will connect students with ample opportunities to grow mentally and physically."
The expansion will allow for the return of the high school's basketball and volleyball teams, who have both been practicing and playing home games at rented space at Villa Maria College.
"The state of the art gymnasium and wellness center are the next step for our athletics program," said Joe Baudo, Nardin's athletic director. "Our student athletes are excited to have a true home court advantage for the first time in many years. While we've been fortunate to have access to Villa Maria College, we are thrilled to have a distinctly Nardin facility that our student athletes and fans can call home."
The project will also add 16 parking spots at the school and will improve traffic flow by moving vehicles off of Cleveland Avenue, easing congestion during afternoon pickup.
The project is expected to be completed by September 2020.

Help Protect Habitat for Endangered Species!
The number one cause of the extinction of species (plants and animals) happening right now is habitat loss. Land is being converted at a vast rate to account for humanity's intense growth and expansion. Agriculture, cattle ranching, palm oil plantations, and the mining industries are causing the deforestation of our rainforests, while our desert waters are being diverted and ultimately evaporating.
In a report released in April 2019, Intergovernmental Science Policy Platform on Biodiversity and Ecosystem Services (IPBES) reported that "Human actions—notably agriculture and urban expansion—have 'severely altered' 75% of terrestrial habitats and 66% of marine environments. The rate at which species are facing extinction is 10 to hundreds of times higher than the average over the last 10 million years—and this rate is accelerating".
GreaterGood.org is committed to the long-term protection and preservation of land all around the world, with special concentration in the areas where its species are most threatened. GreaterGood.org is committed to providing a balance between humanity and the planet so that both can cohabit naturally and harmoniously.
You can help! Just $20 protects one acre of land. You can help protect the land and the species inhabiting it. Protecting the land not only shields the natural flora and fauna of the region but it also prevents the land from being altered in significant and detrimental ways.
"Protecting nature and saving species is all about securing the land and water plants and animals need to survive". - Jonathan Baillie, Executive Vice President and Chief Scientist of the National Geographic Society stated

Australia showed all the fire and passion that has made them the powerhouse of women's world cricket by taking out the World Series of Women's Cricket by beating New Zealand by 109 runs at Bert Sutcliffe Oval at New Zealand's High Performance Centre at Lincoln University today.
The margin of success was embarrassing for New Zealand but it still wasn't sufficient to wipe out the stigma of the World Cup defeat three summers ago, and that issue won't be decided until 2005 in South Africa. Evidence would suggest that Australia are further down the track in preparation for that event than are New Zealand.
It is a fact of sporting success that innovation can often be a key virtue, but so often new things are tried in team sports, before they have been tried out in a competitive atmosphere in the recent history of the side.
New Zealand fell into that trap when trying to rearrange their batting order in an effort to curtail the threat of Australian fast bowler Cathryn Fitzpatrick. The move didn't work, and possibly even rebounded on the home team who capitulated in disappointing fashion for a side who still are the reigning world champions.
The record books were given something of a working over, mainly by Australian captain Belinda Clark. She ended her innings of 80 as the highest scorer in women's One-Day Internationals, supplanting New Zealand legend Debbie Hockley when she passed her record of 4064 runs. Clark now sits on 4077.
The effort started when she scored her third run of the day to be only the second woman to pass 4000 ODI runs.
New Zealand's wicket-keeper Rebecca Rolls also got in on the act when ending the innings on 80 dismissals in ODI to equal the record of England's Jane Cassar. But in New Zealand's innings Julia Price ended up on 79 dismissals.
New Zealand had done a sound job in dismissing the Australians for 214. It is a rare feat and was all the more notable after Clark's innings had looked to steal the initiative well and truly away from New Zealand.
But by bowling with a degree of control, they made life difficult for Clark and she was rarely allowed to strike out for boundaries and the latter part of her innings was spent attempting to lift a run rate that had fallen below what Australian should have expected.
The ploy of opening with 18-year-old left-arm spinner Rebecca Steele, who took one for 38 when bowling through, could be said to have been effective, but at the same time it had to be wondered if bowling her through had been the best option.
The air of mystery that was developed when she opened evaporated when it was clear she was going to bowl through.
Aimee Mason was also effective in bowling 10 overs of off spin to end with one for 34.
New Zealand captain Emily Drumm said she was delighted between innings that the bowlers had done the job that allowed the batsmen a reasonable chase.
"It was our best bowling performance of the series in terms of the consistency they achieved," she said.
Drumm explained that the change in the batting order had been intended to deny Australia early wickets because in the two earlier games New Zealand had been rocked.
"But that is three games in a row now that we have collapsed.
"I've never known Cathryn Fitzpatrick to be so intimidating in a series as she has been here," she said.
Drumm, who was set up by the Australians in each of her innings against them this year, said she never felt it necessary to use a helmet against her because she backed her judgment to get something up to defend herself.
However, she said it was interesting to see on television coverage the involuntary action she was taking in attempting to deal with Fitzpatrick because she didn't realise she was backing off a little.
She said she respected Fitzpatrick immensely and would have to deal with her as best she could and she left the feeling that a good deal of thought would be going into their next meeting, probably next summer in the annual Rose Bowl series.
Drumm said it was always the same Australian players, Clark, Karen Rolton and Fitzpatrick who turned up firing when New Zealand was their opponent.
"Today they lifted their game against us again, because they know that we can threaten them and it is often that fear of losing that drives you to win," she said.
Clark said she knew it would be a good game when they reached the halfway point because Australia had wanted to score 220-plus.
After Fitzpatrick's performance today Clark thought the English team who start the Ashes series next Saturday would be more than a little nervous.
The ploy of changing the batting order had caused the Australians to think a little more about what they were doing.
And she admitted the Australians did lift themselves against New Zealand, but the New Zealanders did the same against them.
"Today was an important day for us. We came here to win the tournament and we have managed to produce the goods when it counted," she said.
Clark said she learned last night that the statistical milestones she achieved were on the horizon but her attitude was that it was more important that she scored well for the team today.


text: Reviewed October 2019 Adventure Coordinators Trip: Headwater - Self-Guided Walking in the Italian Dolomites Fantastic holiday Loved this trip - it was my first self-guided trip and my first trip with Headwater. They have a great selection of hikes to choose from, right from easy rambles to tough hikes. I did pretty much all moderate and more difficult hikes and the directions and provided maps are excellent. I stayed at Park Hotel Bellevue in Toblach (Dobbiaco) which is one of the best hotels I have ever stayed at. Included transportation passes and time tables easily let you get around to all the trail heads and even to other towns in South Tyrol if you do not feel like hiking or if the weather is inclement. What was the most inspirational moment of your trip? There were so many - I would say what will always stay with me are the momentous views. I have hiked in many different mountain ranges but the Dolomites are simply spectacular. What did you think of your group leader? This was a self-guided hike so there wasn't one Do you have any advice for potential travellers? If you travel solo, ask for an upgraded room. The standard singles are a tad small.

Carlisle Cricket Club have taken delivery of the Readers Cumbria Cricket League Premier Division trophy.
It was officially handed over after their win at Keswick on the final day by league chairman Steve Chambers. But then, on their return to Edenside after the game on Saturday, the trophy was handed over again as the club held their own presentation night.
There will be a third presentation but not until Saturday, October 26 at the annual league dinner in Barrow-in-Furness.
Secretary Mark Davidson said: "The four-year development programme put in place by first-team captain Marc Brown has been delivered on time, and the Premier Division trophy now rests proudly in the clubhouse, its first visit in 37 seasons.
"The captain himself, along with the players, are deserving of the utmost praise as the planning to maintain this outstanding consistency [one defeat in 22 league games] gets under way.
"As Marc himself has commented, nearly all of our players started their development at Edenside under the watchful eye of Dick Scott who, along with Bryan Laidlow, has been at the heart of producing an ongoing conveyor belt of talent over many years.
"The effects ripple through all of our teams who, as always, have served up rich entertainment throughout the summer months.
"Success doesn't come without a lot of hard work from the committee, steered tirelessly, as always, by [chairman] Mike Rayson who puts in many hours behind the scenes."
Carlisle had rounded off the season with a comfortable win at Keswick after they had beaten their hosts by 82 runs.
James Dawson (63), Mike Slack (38) and James Lythgoe (33) led the way as they were all out off the penultimate ball of the final over for 198. Dan Gaskell (4-54) and Geeth Kumara (4-68) shared the bowling honours for Keswick.
Professional Kumara held the Keswick innings together with a fighting 58, but opener William Atkinson (13) was the only other batsmen to reach double figures. Jonathan Davidson took 4-28 and Slack had 3-13 as the home side were bowled out for 116.
Popular Sri Lankan Kumara is to re-join Keswick as their professional for the 2020 season, which will be his ninth year with the club.
And there is an option for the all-rounder to return to Keswick for 2021, too, with the intention of what would be a decade of excellent service to the club being rewarded with a benefit.
Kumara returned to Sri Lanka earlier this week and, later this year, will continue with his first-class professional career in his home city of Colombo.
Wigton were unable to finish with a win as they went down by 45 runs at home to Furness.
Scott Pearcey made 66 in a Furness 50-over total of 179-7, with Chris Hodgson the most successful Wigton bowler with 3-39.
Nico Watt (31) and John Reed (30) were the leading run-makers for Wigton when they were bowled out for 134.
It meant Wigton finished next to bottom, 11th of the 12 competing clubs, but comfortably 47 points clear of Egremont who make a swift return to Division One.
Likewise, Haverigg will be promoted back to the Premier Division after just one season out of the top-flight.
On the final day, there was a surprise two-run defeat for 2018 champions Cockermouth at home to Whitehaven; the first win of the season for relegated Egremont over Millom; a quick-fire win by 10 wickets for Cleator after bowling out Dalton for 47 and a heavy defeat, by 172 runs, for Workington at Lindal.

After Kylie's dad dies in a freak accident, he leaves her with nothing other than her crazy step-mother, Darla, and the ability to play guitar. When Darla kicks Kylie out and she loses her job all in the same day, she hops a bus to Nashville determined to make her late father's dreams come true. Waitressing and saving her pennies to record a demo, her big break comes when she's asked to join a tour going down the tubes with once platinum album-selling country music superstar Trace Corbin. But touring with Trace is hardly a dream come true since he's pretty much drinking his career down the drain. If Kylie can't pull Trace out of his rut, he'll pull her and her dreams down with him.
My Casting
- Trace
- Kylie
So so so so soooo good!
I absolutely loved this book. It was totally what I was in the mood for and it hit every spot.
Let me start by saying that Kylie is the best female lead I have read in aaaages! At just eighteen, she is still young and vulnerable but she has such a great attitude. She isn't afraid to speak her mind and make heads roll when necessary and it was so refreshing.
"You probably have about fifteen minutes until some guy with deeper dimples and tighter jeans, if that's possible, comes along and steals your thunder because really, you're not all that damned special."
All too often, our book heroines lack balls and hold back when they should be ranting their pretty little asses off and not just sitting back and taking shit. Kylie does just that! So, for that, Caisey Quinn, I applaud you. Girl power!
And then there is Trace. Arrogant, cocky, drunken country music star! Hot as hell but broken and on a path of self destruction.
She was from Oklahoma, and knew a thing or two about storm warnings. Trace Corbin was setting off all the sirens inside of her. Kylie was standing directly in the path of something wild and dangerous and a hell of a lot more powerful than she.
Yeh, you guys can put two and two together and come up with four pretty easily… you know the drill. Bad boy meets good girl and all mother of hell breaks loose. 😉 The best kind of hell, though!
So, what really did it for me was the sexual tension. I LOVE a book with a heavy dose of sexual tension. The will-they-won't-they, the love-hate-love-hate, the for-christ-sake-kiss-her, the stolen touches, the innuendos…. *groan* I luuuurve it! Well written sexual tension, for me, is even more effective than well written sex. And don't let the cover of this book fool you, Girl with Guitar delivers on the spine tingling, toe curling, panty dropping sexual tension!
"Kylie, if I ever again see you in a place like The Player's Club, or alone in a bedroom with a musician who wants nothing more than to fuck you, then I can't be held responsible for what I might do."
"Does right now count as being alone in a bedroom with a musician who wants to fuck me?"
"Yes, it does. Which is why you should run back to your room as fast as those pretty little legs can carry you. And lock the goddamned door."
And then there is also a very yummy sex scene to boot. I know, we're spoilt, right?!
"When I'm finished, you'll barely be able to stand me not being inside of you."
So, what more do you want me to say??? You've got a hot, tortured guitar player, a delicious side order of steam, a ballsy, spitfire of a female protagonist and lots of drama to spice it all up. Do I need to spell it out? I highly recommend Girl with Guitar
"Just don't forget that you can say no because if you change who you are for them, then Kylie didn't really make it, someone else did."

Email signatures
Are we all not looking for free ways to make some promotion of our brand, our work, hobbies, and the values we believe in? Email signatures are the perfect method you will be happy with.
One of the marketing points is to use a method rather than just money for promotion purpose.
Adroitness is something has no price. But, there are also methods for which you do not nee even that. This method has become popular because of its simplicity and availability.
Possibilities of free marketing
Let's see:
- How many times a day do you use your email box?
- How many e-mail accounts do you have?
- How many private addresses | how many businesses do you have?
- How many people do you communicate via e-mail during the day?
- How many people really know you?- Who you are and what do you do. What products or services you offer?
- Could you be interested in knowing how you can help them know you better?
- How often you introduce yourself?
We often communicate with people for one reason by talking about topics that connect us right now. After a long time, you find out more about a person who is even more interesting than you thought. How much time does it take to get to know someone?
Do they know what you do and what benefits they can have thanks to your knowledge?
Example: You communicate with some company whose product you're thinking to buy. They know nothing about you, nor about your professional engagement.
Now imagine, if, down below your mail, is something like your online business card? Imagine your image on it, or company's logo, with an information about you and your business:
a photo | logo
your profession,
link to your site,
your professional e-mail address, and
icons that link them to your social media profiles.
The way of promoting the hobby of yours or an additional job is easy sometimes.
Even if you do not have your private business. Let's imagine you're working in a company for years, but you are crazy about your hobby and you're proud of it. Maybe you make jewelry, write blogs, you have a side job that brings you some money too. Anything can be a trigger to create your "business card" that will stand at the bottom of your mail.
How to add your email signature
The data you can add to this signature is very diverse. Basic name, surname, profession or hobby and contact, are basic.
If we're talking about contact option, you can only leave a link to your blog or site. However, many people add their phone number, e-mail, links to their FB page, link to their site. You can add your portfolio and clickable social media icons. There's also a call to action option.
There is an opinion that it is not good to leave too many possibilities to a people. Not too many ways to contact you. It's so-called Paradox of Choice. As more possibilities, your potential clients get, more it confuses them. In the end, they may not choose any of the choices!
You will find signatures full of data, so you just don't know where to look at.
Call to action in email signature
You will also see people leave a notice about discounts they currently offer. Call to action for example:
– SALE! And a link to your site. Other people mentioned something that's the most important offer they have at the moment.
-link to the Etsy product you want to promote for example.
-Also, those who want to build an email list invite you to take an E-book for free from their site.
Portfolio in your signature
Some people add a link to their YouTube videos because they have a portfolio that they want to promote at the moment. Musicians often do this, also actors and youtube stars. Further, those who run courses and a give some lessons.
Email in your signature Yes or No?
The question is – Why leaving your email address if a person is already getting messages from you?! Many people think this is pointless, so they advise you not to leave an email address in your email signature. However, every mail generator among the information you can add gives you the option to add your email address. Why?
One YES | Or When you should do it
Well, most of us, as I said before, have more than one e-mail address. Let's say we now communicate via my private email address. But my professional e-mail signature is down on the bottom of the mail. There is an information about my business, link to my site, and WORKING email address too. This is the reason why my professional email address is there. See?
One more YES
An email signature is something like your Online Visit Card. And it can be used for this purpose too. Copy it and send it to someone who asks for your professional information and contact to you.
In this case shouldn't all of your business information be here?
If you do not want to continue to use your signature in your mail, just delete your information you don't want to be there and crop an image after saving it. Or just copy an information you want them to see. A piece of cake!
When NOT to use it
If you have one private email address through which you communicate with people. So, you do not have your site and biz e-mail address. In that case, you leave your hobby or business information in your signature. So, you do all the communication via your private email address. This means you write from that only address you have. So, the person already has your mail, and it's unnecessary to explain to them what's the address they can write to you.
One more NOT is if you write from your business email address below which you set up your email signature with your business data. Again, there is no need, among other necessary information such as the phone number, the link to the site, to put the mail that a person already has.
Your image is YES or NO
This is the question that opens with professional resumes. There are reasons FOR and reasons for NOT placing your image in the signature. Read about all the things you should consider before you decide.
Against the picture
Some people are against adding their own image because they feel people decide on you by your physical appearance. Doesn't matter are you more or less satisfied with yourself? It is irrelevant as long as you don't want others to get confused about concepts such as -form and essence-. Those who do not want to add their pic in their email signature, add their company's logo or some hobby activity's logo and it is OK. In addition, if your logo has become more recognizable than your face, this is the reason you should use it more.
Another reason
Another reason is if someone does not like to be exposed. Many people are terrified of the big brother's phenomenon and the fact that Google gives you a large amount of information about you only by your picture. Therefore, they consider it's better to present the company.
One more reason for some people is, they think it's unprofessional to have a picture of a person as an association to a company, product or service that offer. This way of thinking is an old school someone would say.
YES for the picture
Today, personal branding is a big topic in marketing. Many influencers say the personal branding is recommended as a marketing method. Many people have small businesses so they are small entrepreneurs. They branded themselves to the moment when their picture is more recognizable on the Internet than their company's logo. That's why they'll add their own image to their email signature.
Another reason for posting your image is that your business presentation is more humane and natural that way.
Many people prefer to be in – person to person – contact but with -a company to a company- contact. There is a debate going on the Internet, you will notice.
One reason MORE
for the picture may be that in this world you are basically alone. Alone in your fight for your business. From time to time, you can work in some company with a certain group of people and after that start on your own business. This does not stop you from having a personal promotion. Or it may happen that you are in some job for years, but you got tired of it. Later you want something similar. You can change firms, but people who know your quality they have confidence in you and are satisfied with the previous co-operation. They want to work with you again. And if you made some change in your work, many people who respect you will go with you and continue to use yours maybe a different type of services, knowledge, and skills. Because they believe in you.
Maybe we're getting away from the topic. But it was worth it, wasn't it?

Reggaeton's unrealized dream
Reggaeton, the sexy and inescapable Latin hip-hop style that many said would transform Latin music, has hit a plateau. The question is whether it's the leveling off before it falls off the music map, or a necessary breather before it vaults to new heights. In 2005, Daddy Yankee's Gasolina was burning up the airwaves, normally cautious radio stations were falling over themselves to play reggaeton, record labels were leaping to sign every act who could sling the right Puerto Rican slang and the booty-shaking genre seemed poised for domination.

Being a pedestrian can be hazardous to your health. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) data shows that drivers struck and killed nearly 6,000 pedestrians in the United States in 2017. That equates to approximately one fatality every 88 minutes. Emergency room doctors treat almost 140,000 pedestrians for non-life threatening injuries every year. CDC data also reveals that pedestrians are 1.5 times more likely to be killed than motorists traveling in vehicles.
Spinal injuries and mental health: What new research says
New research published by the University of Michigan is taking a hard look into some of the lesser-known consequences of traumatic spinal injuries: the psychological damage caused by living with the condition.
Why Florida's cities are so dangerous for pedestrians
In recent years, Americans have enthusiastically embraced earth-friendly and inexpensive modes of transportation, especially walking. The only problem is that most modern American cities, including those in Florida, were designed around vehicular traffic -- not pedestrians.
Auto-pedestrian accidents are a serious threat
Motor vehicles can pose a serious danger to pedestrians on Florida roads. Because people walking have few protections against heavy cars, they may face a risk of catastrophic injuries and permanent disabilities requiring extensive medical care and time away from work. While all pedestrians face a risk when sharing the road with larger vehicles, some cars may be more likely to crash into them, and some walkers may face higher levels of carelessness from drivers. According to one study, drivers with expensive vehicles are less likely to come to a stop for people in a crosswalk than those with cheaper cars.
Another study shows distracted driving laws are having low impact
Like most other states, texting and driving is prohibited in Florida, and Florida also has legal restrictions on motorists using a hand-held phone while behind the wheel. However, the problem with drivers in the Tampa area and throughout the country being distracted by their phones seems to be continuing. Over 3,000 people die from distracted driving each year according to official numbers from the federal government, and many experts believe that the actual number is higher.
Report: distracted driving remains a deadly problem
While Florida and other jurisdictions have continuing to take measures against texting and driving, it seems that, at least according to recent statistics, distractions behind the wheel continue to be a deadly problem on the roads. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, or NHTSA, as of two years ago, just under 10 percent of all fatal accidents involved a distracted driver. In raw numbers, this means that over 3,150 people in 2017 died due to distracted driving.
Hands free in school and work zones is the law
Distracted driving continues to be a problem in Florida and across the United States. There are so many distractions that can affect a person's driving. Besides the distractions caused by typical activities, like eating, playing music, putting on makeup, etc., cell phones have become the major driving distraction in recent years. Our state, like many other states, is passing laws trying to combat the use of cell phones while driving to help prevent accidents.
Representation for victims of auto-pedestrian accidents
Last week's post on this Florida-based personal injury legal blog discussed the rights that individuals have when they legally cross roads in crosswalks. Crosswalks are designated areas, often marked with paint, where pedestrians may cross from one side of a road to the other without fear of vehicle incursion. Generally, when a pedestrian is legally in a crosswalk all traffic must yield to them to allow them safe passage to the other side of the street.
What rights do pedestrians have in crosswalks?
Many roads and streets in Hillsborough are marked with crosswalks. A crosswalk is a portion of a roadway where a pedestrian may legally cross. Often, crosswalks are marked by parallel lines in which pedestrians may walk from one side of a street to the other, and often crosswalks are located at or near intersections.
Who is most at risk of being hurt in a pedestrian accident?
According to data published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, nearly 6,000 people lost their lives in pedestrian-vehicle accidents in the United States in 2016. Almost 130,000 more victims suffered injuries in collisions with vehicles. By these statistics, pedestrian crashes kill an individual every 90 minutes in our country. Residents of Florida know all too well that these often preventable collisions occur in the Sunshine State, but it is often individuals from certain demographic groups that are more likely to be harmed in crashes with cars.

Schreyer Scholar Isn't Clowning Around with Campus Club
By Megan Dutill (October 2011)
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. – It started with a red foam nose.
Two years ago, circus troupe Cirque du Soleil handed out free clown noses in the HUB to market its performances at Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center. Schreyer Scholar Chad Littlefield grabbed one and on a whim decided to wear it all the way back to his dorm, grinning and waving to all of the people he passed. To his surprise, fellow students were delighted.
"Every single reaction I got from people was positive," he said. "Everyone engaged at some level."
That was the unofficial beginning of the Clown Nose Club, the organization that Chad would formally start a few months later to encourage positive social interactions on campus and in the community. But he is quick to point out that the club has nothing to do with actual clowns--just their red noses, which Chad sees as symbolic of goofy social icebreakers and people taking themselves less seriously.
The club's philosophy is simple: People matter and the way we interact with each other makes a difference. "Something very inspiring to me is the mindset that you impact every single person that you interact with, whether it's positive or negative," Chad said.
Noting that it's too easy for people to simply walk past each other and accidentally treat others – be they cashiers, bus drivers, or other students – like numbers or robots, Chad said that one of the club's missions is to simply give people the dignity of being seen and appreciated.
It doesn't take much: The club believes that a simple "hello" or "thank you" can make a big difference.
"In our culture at Penn State, a positive social risk would be looking up into the eyes of your cashier and saying, 'Thanks, I appreciate you,'" Chad said. "I did it in Sbarro recently, and the cashier stopped and was like, 'Thank you. Wow.' You could tell that it completely turned his head backward – he was just so dumbfounded that somebody took two seconds to move their vision up four feet and say hi."
"It's about valuing people for who they are," said David Manos, the club's staff adviser and assistant director of housing at Penn State. "It's wanting everybody to connect in a positive way. School can be very tough. There's a lot of pressure, and even the most socially adept among us are going to have tough times. We want to just be a smiling face or an encouraging word, right here and right now, for people when they need it."
It turns out that this attitude is infectious. More than 1,250 people "like" the club's Facebook page. The Clown Nose Club itself has grown to around 90 dues-paying members and chapters are even starting at North Carolina State University and Louisiana State University. But to the club's leaders, growth isn't defined by the numbers.
"You don't have to be at Penn State, and you don't have to attend a meeting to participate in the Clown Nose Club," Chad said. "Everybody can be intentional about having a positive impact on another human being through interaction. Growth to me is people outside the club choosing to see people differently."
So what does the club actually do, besides outfitting its members with clown noses? Chad said activities have ranged from creating and distributing "You Matter" cards to bringing fun to an orphanage and grade schools in the Dominican Republic over spring break earlier this year.
Most ideas come out of club meetings. The club has monthly large-group meetings and several small-group teams that meet biweekly to brainstorm and execute creative ideas for new projects.
Manos recalled that one of his favorite initiatives was an event called "Blast Bus Drivers with Bravos," where members waited at bus stops with signs, balloons and gifts for the CATA bus drivers. "Somebody sees them as a human being and acknowledges their contribution to the overall process, and that's powerful," he said.
Although Chad, a junior double majoring in Rehabilitation and Human Services and Psychology, is in the process of turning over his position as club president, he plans to participate as a member and to mentor the current club leadership.
And after college?
"I clearly want to work with people," Chad said about his career goals. His future plans aren't yet firm, but could involve creating workshops for corporations or working with high schools. But wherever he goes, Chad plans to embody the club's mission and take positive social risks.
And that's something to smile about.

The first members of the Community Builders program gathered at a welcoming reception the Invest Atlanta offices on October 26 to mark the official launch of the initiative.
Invest Atlanta created the Community Builders program in response to growing interest from residents on the Westside to learn how to redevelop vacant, abandoned, and blighted commercial and multi-family properties. The goal of the program is to empower participants to partner with Invest Atlanta on the organization's work on the Westside.
Through this program, participants will learn core property redevelopment skills, and once they complete it, they'll be eligible to apply for funding assistance to support their own redevelopment projects.
Invest Atlanta has committed $15 million to the Westside Community Fund and leverages these dollars in coordination with public and private partners to address critical areas of need – such as affordable housing, employment opportunities, and retail development. The work is focused on the neighborhoods of English Avenue, Vine City, and Castleberry Hill.
The work is being done in several different areas. First, IA is working to create and retain the affordable workforce housing stock so more people can call Atlanta "home," whether they're renting, leasing, or looking to buy a home.
For example, IA is working with developers to turn 24 vacant properties into new affordable housing units in English Avenue and Vine City that will go to families earning 80%-100% of the area median income. IA is also expanding employment opportunities through our support of great organizations like Westside Works, and supporting area small businesses on the Westside like Steed Media Group through grants and low-interest small business loans. In addition, IA is improving quality of life in many ways, from removing blight to creating greenspace, and reenergizing the MLK corridor with economic investment to supporting service organizations like Families First.
The ultimate goals are to create jobs, invest in neighborhoods, and create greater equity in our communities. This is all being done along with our other economic and community development programs, as well as alongside Invest Atlanta's many public and private partners.

Favorite Blogs:
Am- wanted a workout to see if I should go to Seattle. Did a little run with 3 miles MP and felt ok. Not great, but good enough. So I'm going, but with low expectations. Heck, I even went to the doctor today cause now I have an eye infection on top of my cold.
In other news, I was invited to join Team PI, one of 20 ultra runners sponsored by Pearl Izumi. The team includes Nick Clark, Nick Pedatella, Dylan Bowman, Scott Jaime, and many others. I'm very excited. My singlet arrived today, so I'll be wearing it this weekend. My days of wearing greeny green shorts and my SGRC red singlet are over.
Congrats on the PI invitation. Very, very cool.
Congratulations on the team invite and good luck this weekend. I'm sure you're going to do great.
Congrats! That is sweet. No more green shorts. At least the beanie is still kosher (pre race). Hope the race goes well. Wish I could be there...
Sweet uniform, just a tad bit jealous, just a bit!
Hey, congrats on making Team PI!
Good for you, Jon. Congratulations. I was going to make a green shorts reference, but I see that they unfortunately don't have something to fit the bill. I love their shorts.

BURNABY – Three gold-medal performances highlighted the University of Victoria Vikes women's rowing program's final day of the Canadian University Rowing Championship hosted at Burnaby Lake on Nov. 5. First-year Vike but 2016 Rio Olympian Caileigh Filmer topped the podium twice as she won the women's single and helped the Vikes eight dominate for first place. The heavyweight pair of Olivia King and Morgan Cathrea also won gold, while a bronze for the lightweight coxed four helped the Vikes finish second, just four points back of national champions Western.
"It's both our first and last CURCs so I think we came here with one goal to lay it all down on the line and to win so we are happy we did that," said King following her gold-medal win alongside team mate Cathrea in the women's pair (7:40.270).
Cathrea and King, who were the top team in the time trials a day previous, had an impressive 10-second margin on second-placed UBC (7:50.170)
"We planned on being strong and internal and focusing on our race rather than being external," added Cathrea about the game plan for today.
Cathrea and King only met in pre-season this year and had just the fall season to find their strides together. Time proved not a factor as fifth year Cathrea and third year King came together in impressive fashion.
"We have emphasized in the pairs a lot so it's nice to see it pay off," said Vikes women's rowing head coach Rick Crawley about Cathrea and King's performance. "They are similar body types so they match up really well. A lot of the technical things that they do were similar to begin with so it was just a matter of blending them a little more as time went on. A lot of it is just pounding up and down the lake doing kilometers and being pressed by other people at the same time trying to get better at how you execute things."
Strong Western and UBC crews in the lightweight coxed fours kept a top-two finish out of reach for the Vikes but third place was important in the team points totals and the Vikes were able to meet that goal. Coxswain Jess Wallace led the crew of Alanna Ward, Sarah Craven, Rachel Kalkman and Rebecca Kingston to bronze in a time of 8:00.589, while Western took first in 7:43.103, just two seconds ahead of UBC.
In Filmer's first national championship performance for the Vikes, it was nothing but gold. The California Berkeley transfer finished first in the women's single in a convincing fashion as she took gold with over 13 seconds on second-placed Queen's racer Louise Munro.
"I was just focused on the team for me," said Filmer about her individual race. "The single was my preparation for the National Rowing Championships next weekend. I just wanted to put my best performance in because I really wanted to give as many points to the team as I could. It's really just a team effort and when I was rowing with my single I had the rest of my team in there rather than being out by myself."
From there, Filmer, in the eight seat, contributed to the women's eights taking gold in the final race of the day. The Vikes were unstoppable, coming in ahead of UBC in a time of 6:39.094 with a seven second gap. It was all celebrations as fifth years Maxine Chapman, Jessica Stewart and coxswain Cassidy Fernandes ended their final Canadian University championship on a high.
"This is a really talented group and we went in thinking just about just keeping stronger together and breaking things down to keep it simple," added Filmer about the eights performance. "We didn't want to overthink anything but we could just trust our training and if we did what we have been doing in practice we would have a really solid race."
"Today the pieces fell together and everyone was prepared for the weather. We had to be mentally strong to know there was going to be some off strokes with such a strong crosswind but Cass our cox did such a great job."
Vikes Ward and Craven added to team scores in the lightweight double, finishing sixth in their final, while Rebecca Kingston was fourth in the lightweight single.
Up next the Vikes will prepare or the RCA National Rowing Championships and Canada Cup, also hosted in Burnaby, Nov. 11-12.

Forest Village Camp: Gooseberry Guild (week 2)
Conor Millard, July 16, 2019
The Gooseberries were guided through field and forest by their wise leaders, Monica, Emilia, and Alexis.
The Gooseberries had lots of fun and games this week. They also had the chance to learn some new and challenging skills such as archery. None of us knew anything about Archery, luckily we were able to consult with the Forest Archers! The Forest Archers, led by Master Szuba, offered to spend an afternoon doing target practice with us. There was only one problem; we didn't have any bows to practice with.
Monica thought about what was around us. "What materials might be flexible enough and strong enough to craft some bows out of?," she asked.
She found some honeysuckle branches. These branches were strong and flexible, the perfect material for bow making. See what happened next in the photos that follow!
Monica carries a bundle of honeysuckle branches back to the group
Emilia strings up our bows with natural jute fiber.
