Eastern Canadian Tour Dates Announced By Zaum
Completing tours in Europe and across Canada earlier this year in support of the latest release "Eidolon," New Brunswick's mantra doom duo Zaum announced that the badn will be embarking on a special December tour of the Canadian East coast entitled "The Ritual Experience" (dates listed below).
The Maritime dates will showcase four exceptional events where the doom duo of Kyle Alexander McDonald (Bass/Vocals/Synth/Textures) plus Christopher Lewis (Drums/Percussion) will perform as one on stage with experimental violinist Olive Bestvater of Saskatoon, SK doomgaze band Black Tremor and classically trained woodwind artisan Ricky Frenette (both of whom performed on Zaum's "Eidolon") along with experimental projections artist Jamie McEwan and Nawal Doucette, an award winning contemporary Middle Eastern dance artist who performs finger cymbals (zils) and specializes in Salimpour belly dance.
Watch the tour promo video here to see what to expect:

Dec 9, 2017 - Halifax, NS @ The Seahorse
** denotes seated show
Zaum's Kyle Alexander McDonald comments: "It will actually have actually been 1.5 years since we last played a show in the Maritimes, which is of course where we call home. Since we tour internationally as often as we do, a few years ago we made a point to not play around home as often a band typically would since we like to get in as much work and relaxation as possible while back home. People have been asking forever when we plan to play here next and jokingly criticized us for playing even regions like Eastern Europe more frequently than we do here. As such, its been a long time coming and people have been patient – so we thought it would be fitting to roll out some special shows and have a few of the guests who played additional instrumentation on our latest album Eidolon to actually perform it and some of our past material live with us.
"We're incredibly fortunate to have both violinist/vocalist Olive Bestvater of Saskatoon based doomgaze band Black Tremor and Moncton based woodwind scholar Ricky Frenette join ZAUM during this period. Additionally, a Saint John based friend of mine Nawal Doucette is a surreal award winning contemporary Middle Eastern dance artist and instructor who a couple years back had expressed a shared interest in performing with us in the future if schedules could align. She'd been a fan of the band for some time and hit me with this idea to create this ritual-esque sort of performance to accompany some Maritime shows, which beautifully fit the dream experience I had in mind. She'd worked in the past with Moncton based experimental projectionist Jamie McEwan, and introduced him as the final piece of the equation. From there we laid the foundation for "ZAUM : A Ritual Experience" to come to fruition this December for these 4 sweet 60-90 minute intimate late evening shows."

USA ⋅ A former US military intelligence officer has been arrested on suspicion of espionage for China. The Justice Department said on Monday that the 58-year-old had tried to provide military information to China.
He received hundreds of thousands of dollars for that. When the FBI arrested him, he was on his way to the airport to travel to China. The man who speaks Mandarin and Russian had the approval for the highest secrecy level for years.
This year, a former CIA secret service has been charged with conspiracy to espionage for China, and another former intelligence official is being tried for a similar offence.

This morning Crown princess Mary gave birth to a baby boy and a baby girl, congratulations!
The Crown Prince and the Crown Princess of Denmark already have two children, 5-year-old Christian and 3-year-old Isabella.
The Crown princess dresses her children beautifully and tend to choose Scandinavian labels with high quality. We think Spring Summer 2011 news from MeMini would be perfect for the newborn set of royal twins.

A full-day of civility-themed activities and an awards dinner in the evening will be held at the Indiana Welcome Center in Hammond and Avalon Manor in Merrillville.
Community Civility Counts started as an initiative of the Gary Chamber of Commerce Public Policy Committee and it has expanded to include many partners, both locally and nationally. It was launched in 2015 at a press conference held in the Gary Chamber board room.
"As the executive director of the Gary Chamber of Commerce and speaking on behalf of our board of directors, I am elated over the scope and success of the Community Civility Counts initiative," said Chuck Hughes. "We could not have envisioned early on that CCC would now be recognized in several areas of the world."
Its first World Civility Day event, April 14, 2016, was sold out with 300 people from Indiana and nine other states and three countries. UN Ambassador Dr. Clyde Rivers gave the keynote address at the packed Majestic Star Casino ballroom in Gary.
Dr. Rivers is expected to return for the second World Civility Day.
World Civility Day on April 13, 2017, will include a kickoff lunch and workshops at the Indiana Welcome Center. Workshop themes will include civility in the classroom and workplace civility.
The dinner, held at the Avalon Manor in Merrillville, will include featured speakers and the first awards presented by Community Civility Counts.
The National Civility Center is a partner and sponsor of the day.
Sponsorships and tickets are available through the Gary Chamber of Commerce at (219) 885-7407. Tickets are $25 for the afternoon lunch and workshops and $60 for the dinner and can be obtained by calling the chamber.
To follow the activities of Community Civility Counts, or if you have any questions, contact the Chamber office at (219) 885-7407.

It's raining, I'm sick and spent the whole day is sweats. Perfect day for easy comfort food.
For lunch I went completely low effort and mixed a can of sardines with my absolute favourite prepared salad of the moment. It's hard to justify the $4 a bag considering I could easily make it myself, but there are times we all need a good shortcut. Note though, that adding the dressing and cranberries significantly increases the calorie count. A serving of kale, brussel sprouts, cabbage and other veggies should not run you 150 calories. Hold the dressing and most of the sugared cranberries and just add some balsamic vinegar. You'll have a much healthier salad that's still delicious.
Come dinner time I decided to kick it up just a notch or two and made some baked squash with a spring mix salad. It's a kick ass healthy meal that tastes so good you think you're "cheating". Half an acorn squash is only about 100 calories but provides over 20% of your potassium, 3 grams of fiber and a crap-load (yes that's the technical term) of vitamin C, B-6, iron and magnesium. Get some protein in there with some ground chicken/turkey or even a bean chili if you're vegetarian and you're golden.
Of course now I'm craving chocolate as I usually do when I feel sorry for myself. Luckily the previously mentioned sweat pants and rain are conspiring to keep me indoors. This is why I don't keep temptation in the house. If I'm too lazy to go to the store, I obviously don't really need whatever I'm craving. Going to make myself some orange cinnamon tea instead and catch up on some reading. Hoping to be at least 80% when I wake up tomorrow.

In June 2018, a Seattle area nanny was caught on a nanny camera abusing a child. The family installed the camera after receiving a tip. She was charged with child assault.
In July 2018, a nanny cam showed a Kent babysitter repeatedly assaulting a three month old baby. She was charged with child assault.
In July of this year, another nanny in the Seattle area was caught on camera shaking a 10 month old baby. She was charged with child assault.
These situations are extremely upsetting to hear about, and for some parents it is the reason they shy away from working with sitters or nannies.
It's important to note that these stories are not the norm – Seattle has a fantastic nanny community made up of many caring individuals who would never harm a child. In fact, the Seattle nanny community was instrumental in bringing the nanny from the June 2018 incident to justice – and policing the nanny forums when that particular individual tried to continue to offer child care services even after her arrest.
When parents hear about these stories they often discuss installing a nanny cam.
However, nanny cams are not just for catching those endangering children. There can be many benefits to nanny cam monitoring as well.

It was just yesterday that we shared the trailer for a new documentary on the life and career of Ken Loach, who has spent the last half-a-century crafting iconic films with a push for social issues. This year he became only the 9th director to earn a second Palme d'Or, this time for I, Daniel Blake, which looks at the health system in Britain through the eyes of the underserved. The first trailer has now arrived for the film set to be released in the U.K. this fall, and hopefully a U.S. release to soon follow.
We said in our review, "I, Daniel Blake is his most urgent and perhaps finest film in years. It follows a man of a certain age as he attempts to scale a mountain of welfare bureaucracy in order to be granted the necessary benefits to get by. It's often warm and quite funny, but is, at heart, a damning critique of the Tory government in Britain and their belt-tightening austerity measures, as well as a rallying cry for those who fall through the cracks."
Check out the trailer below.
Daniel Blake (59) has worked as a joiner most of his life in Newcastle. Now, for the first time ever, he needs help from the State. He crosses paths with single mother Katie and her two young children, Daisy and Dylan. Katie's only chance to escape a one-roomed homeless hostel in London has been to accept a flat in a city she doesn't know, some 300 miles away.
Daniel and Katie find themselves in no-man's land, caught on the barbed wire of welfare bureaucracy as played out against the rhetoric of 'striver and skiver' in modern-day Britain.
I, Daniel Blake hits U.K. theaters on October 21st and will be released by Sundance Selects in the United States.

You can feel it in the air somehow. Is it the colder mornings? The colder nights? Or the fact that it is getting dark around 8.30pm? Whatever it is I definitely feel autumn in the air. The swallows flew the nest last week and they are busy practising for the long flight home and leaves are starting to turn. I like autumn, especially after a nice summer, it feels good to change the season and enjoy the things that make each season special. Autumn for me is about harvesting and hunkering down for winter. What about you, how do you enjoy what autumn brings?
The field selection is moving into autumn colours but still lots of blues and pinks and a few crops just starting to keep us going until November. Here is a section of the field at the beginning of July and now at the beginning of September.

Daily Log
Friday 24 July, 2015
Work began with clipping roots in the extension in preparation for the closing of Locus 3 and the opening of Locus 4 . Locus 3 will be closed because the soil is noticeably darker brown with white inclusions and tree roots, indicating that we have reached a humous layer and have fully removed the dirt dump. Opening elevations for Locus 4 were taken. Opening photographs were also taken. Locus 4 is declared open across the extension.
Locus 3 closing elevations/ Locus 4 opening elevations:
\xb7 NW corner: 27.37mAE
\xb7 NE corner: 27.30mAE
\xb7 SE corner: 27.32mAE
\xb7 SW corner: 27.39mAE
A pick pass was made in the eastern half of the extension. Soil is shoveled into buckets and hand-sorted over a wheelbarrow. Soil is darkish brown and sandy with many stoney inclusions ranging from pebble to palm sized. Some tile and pottery has been recovered.
While sorting the soil from the first pick pass an iron
fragment (Special Find #1) was found. Because it was found in the wheelbarrow, an approximate elevation was taken.
Two more pick passes were made. In the third pick pass, in the eastern meters of the extension, a possible crucible fragment (Find #2) was recovered. Coordinates and elevations were taken. Soil is darkish brown and sandy with many stoney inclusions ranging from pebbly to palm-sized. Several tile fragments and few pottery sherds have been recovered.
Special Finds:
\xb7 Locus 4
\xb7 Wheelbarrow find
\xb7 27.21mAE
\xb7 Amorphous iron fragment
Two more pick passes were made, making a third full pass through Locus 4 . In the eastern meters, a possible coarseware footed vessel (Find #3) was recovered. After the soil was shoveled and sorted over the wheelbarrow, elevations and coordinates were taken.
In the easternmost meters of the extension, we are beginning to feel large rocks. Additionally, the soil appears to be darker than in previous picks. Because of these changes, we will proceed with caution in the eastern meters of Locus 4 in case there are rock features that must be preserved underneath.
Another pick pass is made through the entire extension. Dirt is still shoveled into buckets and sorted over the wheelbarrow. There are fewer tile and pottery fragments so far in Locus 4 than in the previous Locus 3 as well as we are out of the dirt dump.
Special Finds
\xb7 Locus 4
\xb7 27.22mAE
\xb7 108.35E/40.43S
\xb7 Possible crucible fragment
Another pick pass was made in the western meters of the trench. Soil is shoveled into buckets and sorted
over the wheelbarrow. Soil is darkish brown with many stoney inclusions of various sizes and some root rot. Many tile and pottery fragments have been recovered.
Special Finds
\xb7 Locus 4
\xb7 27.14mAE
\xb7 108.86E/39.22S
\xb7 Coarseware footed vessel
Work continued with another pick pass starting in the east moving west. We are feeling rocks in the east and are close to the elevation of the rocks in T-81 to our SE, so we will be picking lightly to preserve any possible features. The western half of the trench is higher than the east so we will use full strength pick passes to bring it down in elevation. Soil is still being shoveled into buckets
and sorted over the wheelbarrow. Soil is still darkish brown, including many small stones and tile and pottery are still being recovered. During the pick pass, many rocks were felt in the western half of the trench.
Another pick pass was made throughout the entire extension with only half force. We are only using half force because we are feeling many rocks below and we want to keep any possible features intact. Soil was picked up with shovels, put into buckets, then sorted over the wheelbarrow. Tile and pottery were recovered and soil has remained the same color.
Another light pick pass was done throughout the entire trench going from east to west. Soil is being picked up with shovels and sorted over the wheelbarrow.
It was decided that large tile would be special found and brought down from site to be used as examples from the building (Find #4). All the soil was then picked up and sorted and work came to a close for the week.
Special Finds
\xb7 Locus 4
\xb7 27.14mAE
\xb7 106E/42.09S
\xb7 Flange
\xb7 Tile: 2 bowls
\xb7 Pottery: 43 sherds
\xb7 Bone: 2 fragments

Cutting Down of Trees
SAHRA has been advised by Forestry that unless there is a witness and proof to the actual cutting down of a tree that they cannot pursue the issue. Fines under the tree by-laws can only be applied by a judge if charges are pursued and the individual is found guilty of an offence. A high level of evidence is required in order to have a strong case with a high likelihood of conviction. So, if you see a tree being cut down for which a permit has not been obtained, please call 311 and take pictures to forward to [email protected].
Do You Know Where Your Catch Basins Are?
A catch basin, also called a storm drain, is built along the curb in the gutter on the edge of the road, allowing water runoff. It is part of the sewer system. The catch basin does just what its name implies: it catches waste and stops it from entering drainpipes. It has a grate at street level catching debris before the water enters the catch basin. Clogged catch basins may cause water to pool on streets. It is imperative that catch basins be occasionally cleaned to maintain their ability to ensnare residue and subsequently their ability to prevent flooding. In the fall, the grates are often covered by loose leafs. In the winter, it is very important that the catch basins be 'opened up' from snow accumulations to allow proper draining of the street.
Each block in our area will have one or more catch basins, usually positioned opposite each other on each side of the street. The residents in a block need to take on responsibility to ensure that their catch basins are clear of debris and ice so that they can properly deal with water flows to prevent flooding.
Now is the time of year to look at where the catch basins are positioned on your block. Do they need cleaning of fall debris? Involve your block neighbours in catch basin monitoring/cleaning/snow removal.
You are doing a great thing for your block/neighbours when you act as a catch basin guardian.
You can find your catch basins, even if covered with leaves, snow or ice using Google Street View.
- Go to maps.google.ca.
- Enter your address in the search engine.
- Drag the yellow male icon to the street on the map.
- Look for the square grates on the road in the image.
CNIB Phone Drive – #PhoneItForward
(Compliments of Councillor Josh Matlow's Feb 1, 2019 Update)
Smartphones are critical tools that revolutionize daily life for people who are blind – providing portable, all in one communications and accessibility solutions. But for some, smartphones are out of reach. The unemployment rate for persons with sight loss is triple the Canadian general unemployment rate, making accessing and affording a mobile device difficult for many people who are blind. Phone It Forward gives Canadians a unique opportunity to donate their old phones, receive a tax receipt and empower people who are blind in the process.
Through a partnership with Fixt Wireless Repair, donated smartphones are wiped to the highest data security standards, loaded with accessible apps and provided to people with sight loss who need them, along with one-to-one technical training. Join us at the Community Hub for our first Phone Drive event in support of #PhoneItForward!
Drop by to donate your used smartphone and get a tax receipt for the value of your phone. Don't forget your passwords to help us ensure your phone is properly wiped!
Event details
Date: Wednesday, February 13, 2019
Time: 10:30 a.m. – 6:30 p.m.
Location: CNIB Community Hub, 1525 Yonge Street, Toronto ON, M4T 1Z2
Donate your smartphone today and help directly support Canadians with sight loss in your community.

Preventing Water Pipes from Freezing During Extremely Cold Weather
(Compliments of Councillor Josh Matlow's Feb 1 2019 Update)
With extreme cold temperatures forecast over the coming few weeks, the City of Toronto is reminding residents how to prevent drinking water pipes in their home from freezing. There are also steps that residents can take if they have no water and suspect their pipes are already frozen. Frozen water pipes can lead to significant property damage should they burst. We urge residents to follow these tips, especially if the pipes inside the home are prone to freezing.
Tips to avoid frozen water pipes in the home:
- Consider leaving a tap open enough for a pencil-thin stream of flowing water, so there is some movement of water in pipes that might be vulnerable to freezing. Leave a pencil-thin stream flowing 24 hours a day until daytime and nighttime temperatures have returned to normal seasonal averages.
- Open kitchen, bathroom and laundry cabinet doors to allow warm air to circulate around plumbing.
- Outdoor faucets are the first to freeze. Unscrew any hoses, turn off the outdoor water supply and let those taps drain.
- Insulate pipes most prone to freezing, especially near outside walls and in crawl spaces, attic and garage.
- If your pipes are prone to freezing, consider contacting a plumber for advice on how best to protect your home.
Steps to thaw frozen pipes:
- Turn on a tap in the basement, preferably the cold water faucet in the laundry room.
- Use a blow dryer to warm the suspected frozen pipe for one to two hours. Check the blow dryer regularly to ensure it does not overheat.
- Place a warm towel or rag around the suspected frozen pipe.
- Depending on the outside temperature and the extent of freezing within the pipe, the thawing process could take between one and six hours.
Learn more about frozen pipes by visiting this link. If the steps above do not resolve the issue, call 311 or submit a service request online here and someone from the City will investigate.
Get Emergency Ready
With the recent floods and ice storms, we need to think about Emergency Planning for the future….what we should do in advance, what we should do at the time and what we should not do. Being emergency ready means that you have a plan so that you and your family know what to do in an emergency. You may need to look after your own needs and those of your family for up to 72 hours after an emergency occurs.
You should have an emergency kit – at home, work and in your vehicle – with food, water and supplies to last at least 72 hours. The City of Toronto Office of Emergency Management has prepared a pamphlet 'Get Emergency Ready' with helpful information, instructions, tips, checklists and forms. You can download this pamphlet from:
Winter-wise tips
The pipes in your home can freeze in cold weather. This can leave you with no water or cause pipes to burst, leading to expensive property damage. If your pipes are prone to freezing, you may wish to contact a plumber for advice. Here are some other tips to help protect your home:
- Wrap foam pipe insulation around pipes most susceptible to freezing temperatures (e.g. near outside walls, crawl spaces, attic, garage).
- Seal air leaks in your home and garage to stop cold air from getting in. Check around windows and doors, electrical wiring, dryer vents and pipes.
- Outdoor pipes are the first to freeze. Unscrew hoses, turn off the outdoor water supply and allow the taps to drain.
- Ensure you know where the main water shut-off valve is in your home and how it operates.
Other important tips:
- Clear eavestroughs and downspouts of debris.
- Seal window wells and fix cracks in basement walls that could cause leaks.
- Keep rain and snow away from the foundation walls.
- If it is safe to do so, clear roadside leaves and other debris from catch basins (the square grates on the road) to help water enter the storm sewer.
- Clear snow from around fire hydrants to keep them visible and accessible to Fire Services and Toronto Water staff
Compliments of Toronto Water
IT and Electronic Equipment Disposal

- Recycle locally all of the equipment that cannot be reused
Contact information: 416-477-0664 Ext. 1025; https://www.electronicrecyclingassociation.ca/
The November page in the 2018 City of Toronto Waste Pickup Calendar states that electronic waste can be put out every Garbage day. It should be placed 0.5 metres from the garbage bin in plain view. Smaller items should be in a clear plastic bag or an open cardboard box.
For information: https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/recycling-organics-garbage/electronic-waste/
Lead in Drinking Water
There was a story published by the Toronto Star regarding lead in drinking water. The Toronto Water staff say that lead does not exist in Toronto's source water, Lake Ontario or in the City's drinking water distribution system. Rather, lead is a concern for homes built before the mid-1950s when residential water service pipes were commonly made of lead. As these pipes corrode or break down, lead can enter drinking water.
If you live in a home built before the mid-1950s, the City offers free lead testing. You can call 311 to pre-register for a water testing kit. For more information, please visit https://www.toronto.ca/services-payments/water-environment/tap-water-in-toronto/lead-drinking-water/
If you are writing to a City official or organization…
If you are writing your Councillor or other members of the City government about an issue be aware that the correspondence is considered to be a 'private discussion' between a member of the public and the City official. It will not be considered as 'on public record' unless you submit a copy to the Secretariat of the appropriate Committee/Council. Many times it is important that all emails/letters be part of the public record so that all members of the City government are aware of concerns on a particular issue.
For example, if you send an email to your Councillor about an issue going forward to the North York Community Council (i.e. a re-zoning, fence, speed limit, encroachment requests) to be on public record it also has to be sent to the Secretariat for the North York Community Council.

Toronto's Tree Canopy
Tree For Me: Offering free, native trees to Toronto Residents
It is estimated that Toronto's current tree coverage sits somewhere between 26% and 28%. A study conducted by the USDA suggests that a sustainable, healthy urban forest for Toronto would require us to increase our canopy coverage to 40%. Tree For Me working to increase plantings on private land where 60% of the current and potential canopy rests by matching residents with a free native tree.
How it works:
- Residents can register online at TPTF.ca (link is provided below).
- They are asked a few questions about their property and are matched with a tree that is suitable for their growing conditions.
- Participants choose their nearest community Tree For Me tree pick-up event. Or, if they are unable to plant a tree due to limited physical mobility, they can apply for the free TreeMobile service.
- At the tree pick-up events, tree recipients take part in a short but mandatory planting and care workshop prior to receiving their tree.
- To measure success, participants are asked to map their trees with CityTrees
- TPTF assists residents with tree planting and tree care by providing electronic resources.
To learn more visit: TreeForMe.ca or Toronto Parks and Trees Foundation

if I go buy a ring
in that hot summer wind
will you pass it on
to Jacqueline Louise?
and if she is still around
and not buried in the ground
will you ask her
if she´s thinking about me?
if her eyes are still like gold
and her walk still strong and still bold
will you tell her, because I know for sure
it would please Jacqueline Louise?
she deserved a better life
so she could not be my wife
did she ever get
any happiness from me?
there are moments
in the bar room
when the silence comes on so strong
then the freight train
blows it´s whistle
and the partying is going on
there are cross roads
in your lifetime
when just about anything could go wrong
when we shiver,
when we tremble
we take cover in a honky tonk song:
number one the growing pine
number two this broom is mine
number three you looked in vain
for someone sweet and someone fine
number four the axman's song
and that hammering along
there's no place to say good-bye
now that the train is moving on
number five that sweet farewell
in the dungeon I will dwell
number six the stage is ready
for the stories they will tell
all the tracks will soon unite
no delay and no big fight
all the files have been deleted,
but he wrote with chalk so white:
if you find her a last
as a wink from the past
now, will you bring my ring
to Jacqueline Louise?
and if she is not around
but is buried in the ground
will you bury then
that ring right here with me?

now, I cried so much, I´m cryin´ me insane
I´ve been cryin´ all night, but there´s only me to blame
every single single malt reminder makes me think
that I´m too fat and too vane
check yourself, you little moron, where did good looks and thick hair go?
where did honesty, compassion and your famous gentleness flow?
every stepping stone and pillar make me think
that I´m a big no-no
watch that big big fat fat Fanny
can you trust her just one bit?
she´s a bridge friend to your Granny
and she asks "Come here and sit"
Little Walter told me stories
about Man and God and Law
when I´m free from all them worries
I´ll be resting with my pa´
yes yes, I´ll be resting with my pa´
now I lied so much, no piece of truth remains
I´ve been lying day and night, I´ll be lying tomorrow again
every single lie reminds me
I´m a winner, with a sharp and brilliant brain

"finally winning
is the worst thing
to ever happen
to us losers"
(Originally in Swedish; translated by Dennis Renfors.
Oskar Hanska is one of Sweden´s leading Spoken Word poets.)
The new boss met his staff for the first time.
"I´m convinced we´ll build a great team", he said.
He continued:
"I grew up in this small town, my father being a Pentecostal pastor. I remember this December when I was four years old.
I awoke with a start in the Christmas Day morning, maybe at five o´clock.
There was no one home. I was totally alone.
My parents had gone to the early Service for Christmas Day, just before it started snowing. They told me later they believed I would be asleep till they got home.
But when I stood there alone and looked out the windows, I saw nothing but snow.
And in the snow there were no footprints.
So I believed that all the good people on Earth had been gathered and brought to heaven, and that all the evil people had been left behind."

January 20, 2017 was Donald Trump´s presidential Inauguration Day. In the following night I had this dream:
I was participating in some kind of civil rights movement. I was in a crowded hallway with Stokely Carmichael´s assistant, who´s name was Little Brother.
A lot of racists, many policemen among them, wouldn´t let black people, or me, pass through.
Then Little Brother held up some black book – maybe a bible, maybe a book with civil rights documents – and those hostile people immediately made way.
Little Brother, with his black trousers and white shirt, returned to help more people pass through. The last thing happening in my dream was me shouting to him:
-You are about seventeen times braver than me, Little Brother!

On this day, October 9, 1950 which was a Monday, my father Erkki Turpeinen, AKA Andy, AKA Slim Turpin, moved from Finland to Sweden (according to an old passport of his).
The plan was to move further to the USA. But he remained in Stockholm, Sweden for the rest of his life.
My father hade a "creative imagination" and was not above pretending to be a doctor or an academic ace. Later on one of his sons became a genius actor and stage play director. Another of his sons got a poetry book published in Hollywood.
I may not be a new Bertrand Russel
anyhow I expect you to respect my hustle
upside down and inside out
I loved that writer called Kilgore Trout

this professor will pay a visit to you
I may not be the single-handed Urban Killer
but I expect you to try my pillow
I am the Professor of Sad Smile
anyhow I expect you to walk that mile

Assistance with an end-of-season sort out
I took Daisy for a walk and when I came back the plastic 'cucumber greenhouse' was dismantled and put away for next year. It was a resounding success in growing terms - shame the variety I chose was quite horrible and no-one liked the thick skin and burp-inducing flesh.
A spruce-up of the greenhouse beds comprised loosening the soil, giving it a good water, and then spreading a 3" thick layer of well rotted compost on the soil. If I extract the digit and wash all the glass then we'll be nicely ready for next year. I had hoped to be growing winter salads but for various reasons that never happened. Thankfully in gardening there is (nearly) always "next year".
Small tasks such as folding up the roof net from the big fruit cage are much better with two (I managed to get the net off last week but putting it away was like wrangling cats so I gave up!), and LP also cheerfully moved 8 car wheels complete with tyres from the drive to their store behind the tractor. Both Management and I now have our winter tyres on the cars, so that will make bad weather trips up Whinlatter a safer drive.
On his previous day here (still not written up . . . .) LP removed turf from the lawn near the Coppice so that I can extend our willow fedge. Today I had him remove a bit more so I can get exactly the shape we need. Eventually this will be edged and I find myself with a huge flower bed that was never planned. Apart from the orchids, the planting is a dreadful mishmash as this bed doesn't really know what to do with itself. Hopefully I'll get some inspiration before another summer is upon us :}
As light was fading we hammered four 3" posts into the fruit cage. I'm going to move a couple of plums into the cage and these posts are the start of a frame to grow them as cordons. Least said about the untidy strawberry plants the better . . .
Heck of a lot done given it was dark by 4.00. In an ideal world most of this would have been done a couple of months ago. It is not an ideal world . . .

I see Daisy was supervising everything :-)ReplyDelete
Lots done -you should feel really satisfiedReplyDelete
My you've been busy. Things really looking tidy there. Dark at 4:00 pm? Ouch! Never fear, solstice is near. "Dear Santa, Please bring ME an "L.P." for Christmas..." LOLReplyDelete
Hi Kris, yes - Solstice cannot come soon enough.ReplyDelete
We're at nearly 55 degrees latitude (same as southern Alaska!) and currently sunrise is 8.32am (half an hour later than London) and sunset is 3.45pm.
But we get do longer days in the summer, so it's not all bad. You might enjoy the site I use to check sunrise & sunset times:
I think you get one heck of a lot done compared to me, so give yourself a break. That "new" garden bed can be thought about during winter (along with sewing), by pouring over old magazines and gardening books for inspiration. It's all going to look great. Can't wait to see it next time.(wishing). Take care.ReplyDelete
Thank you for leaving comments, I love receiving them; sometimes they are the only way I know I am not talking to myself . . . 😊

Radiant Floor Heating and Epoxy Coatings
Can you combine radiant floor heating with epoxy coatings? Many clients worry that the two simply don't go together, so they keep their concrete floors plain, instead of taking advantage of the water-resistant surface provided by epoxy flooring. This is a huge benefit where subsurface floor heating is most popular – areas with snow and winter conditions! And although it's seldom seen in the warm Sacramento Valley region, many of our clients in the Lake Tahoe area or in the Sierra Nevada foothills ask California Custom Coatings about the advisability of combining these two beneficial concrete products.
Yes You Can!
The fortunate thing is that the durability of epoxy coatings makes them compatible with radiant floor heating, no matter what method of heat transfer is used. The only period when the epoxy floor must be treated with care is during the curing process, while the coating dries completely. Therefore, every epoxy installation on top of a subfloor heating system requires adherence to the following recommendations for best results:
- Turn off the underfloor heating at least four days before applying epoxy coatings.
- Leave the radiant floor heater off for at least seven days after the epoxy coatings are fully applied.
- After turning the system back on, the temperature should not increase more than 5 degrees Celsius (approximately 9 degrees Fahrenheit) per day.
Depending on how the floor is insulated underneath and the type of floor components, there may be a maximum advised temperature. This is usually near the maximum for most radiant floors anyway (somewhere above 80 degrees Fahrenheit). Speak with your California Custom Coatings team for advice on this matter before and after the installation.
Since the system needs to be off during the application of epoxy coatings, summertime is an ideal period for installing epoxy flooring on top of a radiant subfloor system. (If you also use the system for cooling the house or garage, talk to California Custom Coatings for tips on dealing with a subfloor cooling system while applying epoxy coats.)
For other questions about combining epoxy coatings with radiant floor heating, speak to us online or by calling 916-612-2399.

The Japan-South Korea rivalry will be rekindled on April 20, 2018 as Masakazu "Ashikan Judan" Imanari, 42, is slated to take on former world title contender "Ottogi" Dae Hwan Kim, 31, inside the five-rope ONE Championship ring. They will face each other on the undercard of "ONE: Heroes of Honor" at the 20,000-seater SM Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
"ONE: Heroes of Honor" is the 13th event of ONE Championship in Manila. It will be Kim's seventh bout in the promotion and Imanari's fourth.
Kim currently has 12 wins and 3 losses and is fighting out of Seoul, South Korea. On the other hand, Imanari has 36 wins and 17 losses and is fighting out of Tokyo, Japan.
Relations between Japan and South Korea have been strained ever since the Second World War, spilling over into other territories such as sports. In the constantly-growing world of martial arts, the patriotic rivalry between these two nations has played itself out in rings or cages across Asia for almost two decades.
Several traditional forms of martial arts could trace its origins in Japan, but many people tend to forget that the country likewise served as one of the starting points of mixed martial arts. Japan was once considered the apex of modern-day mixed martial arts.
In the early 1990s, the sport was growing all over the world as several locations across the globe were beginning to lay the foundation. With Brazil and the United States indoctrinating the beauty of style versus style in the west, the sport's stomping ground in the eastern hemisphere was in Japan.
Japan has a strong history of mixed martial arts as the country has given birth to heaps of legendary promotions such as Pancrase, Shooto, DREAM and PRIDE. From fearless strikers to elite submission grapplers, the country also provided the sport with a long list of extraordinary talents.
Meanwhile, South Korea sparked its own mixed martial arts renaissance in 2003 with the establishment of the now-defunct Spirit Martial Challenge. Since having its first local mixed martial arts organization through Spirit Martial Challenge, the sport in the country has grown in leaps and bounds, paving the way for the founding of the locally-loved Road Fighting Championship and the influx of homegrown competitors.
Combatants from Japan and South Korea have shared the battlefield on numerous occasions. Both countries are staking their claims as the ultimate powerhouse of mixed martial arts in Asia.
Kevin "The Silencer" Belingon, 30, of the Philippines and Andrew Leone, 28, of the United States will headline "ONE: Heroes of Honor." Watch the teaser here:

World Cup 2018: Barcelona defender Gerard Pique 'had to split up Sergio Ramos and Spanish FA chief' after Julen Lopetegui sacking
Now former Spain manager was dismissed just one day before the tournament kicked off after accepting Real Madrid job
GERARD PIQUE had to split Sergio Ramos and the Spanish FA chief up to prevent them coming to blows, according to reports in Spain.
Luis Rubiales controversially sacked manager Julen Lopetegui following his decision to become Real Madrid manager after the World Cup without informing them.
It is believed several players tried to talk him out of the decision just minutes before a press conference was called to announce the news.
And TV show La Sexta claims things got so heated that only Pique's intervention prevented Ramos and Rubiales coming to blows.
OK Diario director Eduardo Inda explained: "The two squared up.
"No one lashed out but everything was voiced. There was shouting from both sides.
No.1 DESTINATION For our World Cup exclusives, gossip, action, video and fun
most read in world cup 2018
"The level of tension was huge. Gerard Pique had to intervene and mediate so that things did not escalate."
He adds that Rubiales was particularly angry at hearing from the media that Lopetegui would be staying on and finding out the players had leaked this message to put the pressure on and ensure it would happen.
The Spanish FA chief demanded an explanation from Ramos and things became heated.
However, after Pique's intervention, the two shared a hug and the tension was eased.

"Hey Harshika do you have some gum on you?" "Nah I don't chew gum" was my quick reply even without looking up. "Ah I forgot, you're a Singaporean". I looked up. I was taken aback, at how we all tend to generalise. But it could have played the other way too! I could have handed him the gum (if I had it) and what would his response be then? How was it that a small action was a representative to everything a nation stands for?
It got me thinking. Isn't it strange that most of what we do is an indication of sorts to where we come from? Is it something we consciously seek to do? Or is it "inbuilt" and part of the genetic makeup even? Like when my husband was fined very early on in our stint here for driving without a seat belt, his argument was a hilarious "No way! I do not drive without a seat belt, I'M A SINGAPOREAN!"
By that he meant he doesn't break the rules and follows the law - but he didn't win the dispute, of course, and had to pay up the fine. To be fair, he is a safe driver - he is always belted and makes sure we all are too, never reckless in the road or switch lanes haphazardly, gives way to pedestrians at the zebra crossing. And strangely, none of our acquaintances could believe that HE was fined! It had to be a mistake. A Singaporean always adheres to the law!
My son, now eleven, was a year old when we moved countries. It is hard to believe, but he is a stickler for punctuality, he hates running late and doesn't shy away from reminding others that they have wasted his time. We often turn up before the hosts at birthday parties since the boy refuses to understand that not everything follows the "Singapore Standard Time". We are actually expected to be the first guests now. A Singaporean values time!
I am a writer (not a very eureka moment so moving on) and I was approached by a large digital platform to contribute content for their Singapore page. Their site targets women living at expat life outside of their home countries and is based out of Dubai. I jumped at the chance even though I had no clue how I would do that (shhh…don't tell them that) as I have not lived in the country for 10 years now! But damned if I was going to let an outsider give "insider tips" on my country!
Funnily enough they were of the same opinion! Nothing like a local speaking of their country. Every article had my "voice" (yes I did figure it out, I always do) echoing the same sentiment -"I Love Singapore and you would too". I was actually asked if I was being paid by the Singapore Tourism Board to say those things!
Our first "social" contact outside of Singapore was coincidentally one spearheaded by Mrs Nair, the wife of the then Consulate General of Singapore in Dubai, United Arab Emirates. What started as an idea of giving the overseas Singaporeans a "home away from home", the Singapore Women's Group (SWG) has grown over the years and organizes regular events which require community involvement and contribution both in terms of time and money.
It is very heartening to know that the organisers find us very dependable and are aware that we as a family are just a phone call away. Whether it is contributing prizes, volunteering time at the events, or just attending them, we have done it all. We were at a resort in Tenerife on Aug 9 last year, and all three of us made sure we were dressed in Red and White even if meant that we had to buy them from the overpriced boutiques there! We definitely looked like a true blue Singaporean family!
So listen. It's not all honky dory always, yes? On the contrary, we have our quirks, and we know it. We may joke about it, dislike it, but that's ok. No one is perfect. We can agree among ourselves or have a disagreement over it. But let an outsider, or someone who has no clue about Singapore say that - I hate Singapore!
I know what I did when it happened to me! I told them in no uncertain terms that they don't know Singapore, that the problem wasn't the country, but them. That there is no place on earth like Singapore!
The way I see it, like in a parent-child relationship, is that everything the parent does is reflected on the child and a child's behavior, temperament, nature and upbringing. "His parents have brought him up well", is something every parent wants to hear. The children are their "image" of sorts and they leave no stone unturned to make sure that nothing is amiss, that they are given the best, that they grow up to be upright individuals. The kids in return thrive to maintain that "image" (or so we hope).
It's not very different as a citizen of a country either, made more so when you live overseas. Your first introduction in a foreign land is where you come from. The impressions are formed on the basis of where you come from. Everything you do after that is a reflection of where you come from. Where you come from takes the forefront, and when that is not maintained, honored and respected, you tarnish the "image". Of your parents. Of your country.
Singapore has a "clean" image (pun intended) and has imparted the best values in her children. Her children follow the law. Her children value time. Her children are loyal. It is our moral responsibility to be the best reflection of Her and to uphold Her Image. We represent Singapore in a foreign land and hence we must represent the best of Singapore! Consider it to be a contribution of sorts, even a pledge of allegiance if you may. Not every contribution is measurable, nor is every allegiance attached with a monetary value. And not everyone is capable of that loyalty and commitment either.
So the question now I guess is – why do we do it? It's simple really, each time we defend our country, we are "home". Each time we look out for our country, we are "home". Each time we represent our country, we are "home". And we all know that Home is where the Heart is. So we do it for love, for the connection, for the reminder of home.

The map above briefly explains the human brain. The largest part of the brain is called the cerebrum and it interprets input from the senses such as hearing, touching, smelling, remembering, tasting and seeing, carries out complex mental processes such as learning and remembering. The cerebrum is divided into a right and left half or hemispheres. The right half is usually known for the creative and artistic ability. The left half is associated with mathematical skills and logical thinking. The cerebellum coordinates the actions of muscles and helps maintain balance. For example when a person walks, the impulses tell the feet to start moving. The cerebellum gives us the muscular coordination and sense of balance that keeps us from falling down and being steady. The brain stem, which is located between the cerebellum and spinal cord controls our body's involuntary actions. For example, neurons in the brain stem regulate our breathing and help us control our heartbeat.

IB Recital Accompaniment
On March 17th, I played the piano accompaniment for two pieces Aika was playing for her IB recital. The two pieces were LOVE by Nat King Cole and Air Varié No. 6. I really liked the two pieces and I had a lot of fun throughout the process of practicing the pieces. I was awed by Aika's skill in playing the violin and singing so it was a wonderful experience being able to play along with her. The performance turned out very well and after weeks of practicing, I felt that our effort payed off and I really loved the experience overall. Also as an act of service, I think I earned 20 points.
Below are the mp3s of the pieces.
Air Varié No. 6
Conflict and Resolution Inquiry Unit
For our Conflict and Resolution Inquiry Unit, I investigated the conflict of black discrimination in America and how Martin Luther King Jr. fought segregation and worked to achieve rights advances for African Americans and bring peace and equality to the world and recorded a newscast talking about it.

for oboe & English horn, trombone & bass trombone, viola & violin, cello, percussion
an ensemble of five players and previously recorded voices (fixed electronics)
© 2017 Esin Gunduz.
Lights on Inanna is based on the texts of three ancient Sumerian tablets that were inscribed for their Goddess Inanna and I read these texts as the Sumerians' cultural/psychological projections on women.
Throughout my compositional process, I performed, recorded, and analyzed selected phrases from these tablets. I studied the semantics, spectra, and the sensory experiences that they bring about and molded this data into instrumentation and orchestration. My works generally explore the union and opposition of energies which "Lights on Inanna" points to by acknowledging three -still present- cultural/psychological projections on women.
On three selected Sumerian tablets, the Sumerians relate to their Goddess Inanna as the:
i. adored object
ii. destructive power
iii. "one of us"!
i. …an-zà-śè maḫ-àm… …as lofty as the horizon… 00:18
ii. …ku-ku za-lag ge-eş ĝar… …to turn darkness into light… 04:56
iii. …ur-re ca-mu-u-hul-le… …to make you joyous… 10:42
© 2017 Esin Gunduz
Composer | Vocal performer
Audio editing: Esin Gunduz
Mix: Henry Birdsey
Performers on this recording:
Megan Kyle, oboe, English horn and reeds
Ben David Aronson, trombone, bass trombone
Leanne Darling, viola, violin
Jonathan Golove, cello, electric cello
Steve Solook, percussion
Recorded March 2017, UB, Buffalo NY
Esin Gunduz is a new music composer and a vocal performer whose work investigates the types of energies at play among all beings (connection / tension, opposition / union), exploring these energies as sensory experiences and sound. In her works, the tessitura in human voice is translated into instrumentation and orchestration. The landscapes built from recorded-voice samples surround the instruments creating other-worldly atmospheres.

Graduate Assistant for the Career Center
Jenna Matsumura
"I would recommend this assistantship for individuals who are looking to gain deeper skills in the Student Learning and Development and Advising/Supporting Competencies. This assistantship is well suited for someone who is driven, self-organized, and autonomous in their work. The Career Center is a faced paced environment, and I have had the freedom to shape my own experience."
Graduate Assistant for Student Services and Communications - College of Education and Social Services (CESS)
Kristen Wade
"I enjoy the great blend I get of student affairs and academic affairs. I get to walk away after two years with a unique perspective having experienced both realms. I love being able to jump from a meeting with a social work advisee one minute to a meeting about marketing and our latest media projects the next. I also work with some incredible people in the CESS Student Services office who are incredible supportive to both me and all CESS students who walk through our doors."
Graduate Assistant for Residential Life - Assistant Residence Director
Brittany Abraham
"Every single day is different in my job. I know what I'm in for, but the surprises and the students make it an adventure. I do this job for my students. Getting to spend an hour every week hanging out with my RAs individually, going on walks, learning about their lives, helping them process through things is the highlight of my day. They keep me laughing and smiling and pick me up when I'm stressed.
I also LOVE advising my hall council. It is a group of students who outside that room probably wouldn't be friends or interact, but come together to create and build a spirit of community I am truly blessed to be a part of."
Graduate Assistant for Residential Life - Assistant Residence Director
Em Huang
"I love the way that I get to build relationships over the course of a year with the RAs and Hall Council students that I supervise and advise, which allows me to see the ways that they grow and develop."
Graduate Assistant for Residential Life - Assistant Residence Director
Jessica Williams
"I applied for my assistantship because I had no experience in Residential Life as an undergrad. I was also very happy with the interview process in ResLife as the interviewers were intentional about asking questions related to social justice, diversity and inclusion; all areas I was hoping to focus on during my time at UVM."
Graduate Assistant for Residential Life - Assistant Resident Director
Shaquan Womack
"This assistantship gives me a lot of opportunities for professional development. The Residential Education Team (RET) provides its staff with extensive social justice throughout the school year. Through these trainings, I have learned the language to explain my experiences and understand the experiences of others."
Graduate Assistant for Operations and Events - University Event Services in the Davis Center
Abby Feenstra
"My favorite aspect of my assistantship is the long-term relationships I've been able to build with my students. I also love that I am gaining so many skills in different areas of a student affairs office - supervision, student development, advising, budget management, programming, marketing, and building inclusive environments. I absolutely love my job and I wouldn't have wanted any other!"
Graduate Assistant for Undergraduate Admissions - Office of Admissions
Sophia Ciminello
"I would recommend this assistantship because it has a great balance of higher education administrative work and student supervision. I have several duties that Admissions counselors have–reading applications, giving presentations, and counseling prospective students, but I also get to have a lot of autonomy in planning trainings and meetings for my student staff."
Graduate Assistant for the Living/Learning Center - Leadership Coordinator
Rachel Kiemele
"There have been numerous professional development opportunities, but the one I have benefitted from the most has been working closely with each of the leaders of UVM's distinct RLCs. Each one is different, and the chance to observe and collaborate with many different leadership models has been invaluable to my development as a student affairs professional."
Graduate Assistant for Student Life - Campus Programs
Sawyer Cook
"Other than getting to work with the amazing group of students that are on the UVM Program Board, the other reason I would recommend future grads to apply for this assistantship would be all of the transferable skills I have cultivated through my experience. I have developed my skills in budget management, contract processes, advising/ supervising, event planning and execution, and time management to name a few."
Graduate Assistant for Student Life - Leadership & Civic Engagement Programs
Prithak Chowdhury
"I came into graduate school with a background and interest in socially just leadership practices and community service. The office of Leadership and Civic Engagement within the department of student life integrates service, leadership, and social justice in a wholesome manner. I was drawn to this aspect of the mission of my program area along with the fact that this assistantship provided a high student contact role and also numerous opportunities to develop as a facilitator and educator."

Those nooks, those crannies… there's just nothing like a toasty English muffin slathered in butter and your favorite jam; and trust us—you haven't lived until you've had a fresh one made from scratch. A great weekend cooking project (especially during the holidays when you'll visitors to share with), these classic English muffins are surprisingly easy to make, even for an inexperienced baker. An ice cream scoop is a great tool to use for scooping out your batter when it's time to cook. Note, using ghee—a clarified butter that you can find on the international aisle of most supermarkets—is essential in this recipe as the milk solids present in regular butter will burn before the muffins are cooked through.
How to Make It
Combine flour, water, dry milk, butter, egg whites, sugar, salt, and yeast in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with a dough hook on low speed. Increase speed to medium, and beat until dough is smooth and very sticky, about 6 minutes. Cover and chill overnight.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, and heavily dust with cornmeal. Using a 2 1/4-inch scoop, drop scoops of dough onto prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle dough lightly with cornmeal, and gently flatten into 1/2-inch thick (about 3 1/2-inch diameter) circles, turning to coat both sides in cornmeal.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the ghee in a 12-inch cast-iron skillet over medium-low. Cook 4 of the muffins until browned, 5 to 6 minutes on each side. Wipe skillet clean. Repeat with remaining ghee and muffins. Transfer muffins to a wire rack to cool at least 30 minutes before serving. Split muffins with a fork; toast and serve.
