With Surf Tribe, photographer Stephan Vanfleteren shows that there is far more to surf culture than just sport and competition. Surfing is also about a deep admiration and respect for the ocean, as well as the feeling of insignificance when confronted with the forces of nature. Surfers use the waves for fun, but also to forget and to battle, both with others and with themselves. Vanfleteren looks beyond the traditional borders of the United States and Australia and searches the globe for people who live in places where sea and land meet. He documents a fluid community, with nature as its sole leader. He has sought out young talent, living icons, and old legends, both competitive and free surfers. The photographs here are serene black and white portraits in Vanfleteren's well-known, haunting style; as always, he reaches below the surface and goes to the core of his subjects. Included, amongst many others, are Kelly Slater, Gerry Lopez, John Florence, Mickey Munoz, Filipe Toledo and Stephanie Gilmore. Surfer, journalist, and actor Gerry Lopez has contributed the Foreword.

General overview
The bullish sentiment predominance was noted amid the debt market positive dynamics. The Japanese and the US government bond yields expanded that increases the investments' attractiveness into the US assets and thereby supports demand for the dollar. However the growth impulse weakened.
The pair stopped its increase. Having rebounded from the support of 122.40, the pair has managed to grow to 123.20 and to test this mark.
The price is finding the first support at 122.40, the next one is 121.30. The price is finding the first resistance at 123.20, the next one is at 123.80.
The price is in the Cloud and it is above the Chinkou Span. The Tenkan-sen and the Kijun-sen show a horizontal movement and form a "Golden Cross".
The MACD indicator is in a positive territory. The price is consolidating.
Trading recommendations
The buyers need to break above 123.20 for a steady growth. The way to the mark 123.80 will be opened after this breakthrough.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia, Dec. 2 (UPI) -- Saudi Arabia's National Water Co. plans to spend $66.4 billion on water and wastewater projects over the next eight years as water consumption grows faster than the kingdom's burgeoning population.
The projects will focus primarily on the oil-rich country's bulging biggest cities. Some $11 billion will be spent on more desalination plants, which convert sea water into fresh water, as natural supplies run out.
Some of these are expected to be powered by solar energy.
Saudi Arabia, which averages 4 inches of rain a year, is considered the largest producer of desalinated water in the world.
Desalination plants supply 116.6 million cubic feet a day, or 18 percent of the global total, through a supply network covering around 2,500 miles. They also supply 43 percent of the combined reservoir of the six-member Gulf Cooperation Council.
The GCC also includes the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Bahrain.
Most of the spending will go on wastewater projects but the NWC says $30.66 billion will go on boosting the water supply in 2012-20.
One of the primary objectives is to staunch large-scale leakage from the water system.
That's a major problem across the Middle East where water supply has been shrinking because of antiquated water systems, aggravated in recent years by serious drought and global warming.
NWC says water saved from leakage in Riyadh and Jeddah has increased from 256.07 million cubic feet in 2008 to 2.3 billion cubic feet in 2011.
"This is a particularly important factor in Saudi Arabia, where water is expensive to produce," the Middle East Economic Digest observed.
Saudi Arabia's water supply has increased from 26.77 billion cubic feet in 2008 to 36.66 billion cubic feet in 2011.
MEED reported the Saudis are also driving to minimize the use of desalinated water for projects that don't require potable water.
"Saudi Arabia plans to use treated sewage effluent, or TSE, more effectively," the weekly noted.
"The NWC intends to create TSE businesses from its existing wastewater assets in developing a long-term market for treated wastewater.
"TSE is currently only used in Riyadh and Jeddah on a very small scale," MEED reported.
But TSE usage is expected to triple by 2030. TSE sales have gone from zero in 2008 to 17.48 million cubic feet this year.
"As a result, TSE is becoming an important revenue stream for the NWC," MEED said.
Revenue is expected to exceed that from potable water sales in Riyadh and five other major cities by 2022. By 2030, it's estimated that potable water sales will total $754.5 million.
The Saline Water Conversion Corp., which operates more than 30 desalination plants on the Persian Gulf and Red Sea coasts, disclosed recently it's implementing several new desalination projects at a total cost of $10.66 billion.
On Thursday, Water and Electricity Minister Abdullah Al-Hussayen said the kingdom intends to rely heavily on solar energy to operate desalination plants instead of using oil and gas.
Increasingly, the kingdom is using hydrocarbons for power generation, including the energy-intensive desalination plants that are the main source of water.
As more and more oil and natural gas is diverted to generate greater amounts of electricity as the demand for power swells amid industrialization and a burgeoning population, the amount available for export, Saudi Arabia's economic lifeblood, shrinks.
The International Energy Agency has estimated that Saudi Arabia's rate of direct crude burning more than doubled in 2008-10 because of the rapid increase in demand for electricity and a shortage of natural gas.
Just how much of that went to desalination isn't known but the experts believe it was significant.
Some authorities say that natural water supplies, such as underground aquifers, are being dangerously depleted or salinated as seawater replaces fresh water in these reservoirs.
Water use in the kingdom, which is largely desert, is almost double the per capita global average and is increasing at an even faster rate because of industrialization and population growth.
This has heightened the need for greater desalination projects. Hussayen warned in May that the nation's demand for water is increasing by more than 7 percent a year.
To counter this, the water and power sector needs $133 billion in investment over the next decade, he said.

Project Description
The symbol of a bluebird as the harbinger of happiness is found in many cultures and may date back thousands of years, one of the oldest examples found on oracle bone inscriptions of the Shang Dynasty, 1766-1122 BC. Among some Native Americans, the bluebird has mythological or literary significance. According to the Cochiti tribe, the firstborn son of Sun was named Bluebird. The "Bluebird of Happiness" has been utilized in many popular song lyrics, and movies, as well. This charming work incorporates a pair of these significant birds, a pair of splendiferous red roses, and a banner that proclaims, simply, "LOVE." Whether this simple and elegant centerpiece is for a birthday, an engagement event, a wedding, or anniversary, it is fairly clear what the intent is. "LOVE" says it all, but the addition of the other nearly universal symbols of love and happiness clarifies any remaining mystery. "Bluebirds of Happiness" leaves doubt behind.

I am not sure if the Pi is sleeping but sometimes the Nodemcu does not receive a request for the data and so it stays on an extra 10 or maybe 30min waiting. As you can guess this is not good for my battery life.
The logic is every 10 min step the Pi sends a signal to the Nodemcu and the Nodemcu sends the packet back to the Pi. The Nodemcu then goes into deep sleep for 9min waking in time for the next signal from the pi. The deep sleep command is in the waiting for the packet section of the code.
I assume I can not add an Arduino delay as that stops the code and I can not see a timeout option in the wifiudp library. Please can somebody suggest a good way to do this.
I have thought about using an Arduino timer instead of a delay but there may be something in the ESPLibrary I am including?
void loop()
if (!bme.begin()) {
Serial.println("Could not find a valid BME280 sensor, check wiring!");
while (1);
int packetSize = Udp.parsePacket();
if (packetSize)
// receive incoming UDP packets
Serial.printf("Received %d bytes from %s, port %d\n", packetSize, Udp.remoteIP().toString().c_str(), Udp.remotePort());
int len = Udp.read(incomingPacket, 255);
if (len > 0)
incomingPacket[len] = 0;
Serial.printf("UDP packet contents: %s\n", incomingPacket);
// send back a reply, to the IP address and port we got the packet from
Udp.beginPacket(Udp.remoteIP(), Udp.remotePort());
delay(1000); // Need a delay otherwise the data is not sent Was 3000
delay(1000); // Need a delay otherwise the loop starts again before deep sleep

I guess I can finally lay these stories to rest here. Should there be any other stories I happen to remember, I'll definitely post them, but I think I've written about everything that has happened. Except for this. Here is what happened after we moved out.
At the end, things were terrible. My dad couldn't afford to pay the bills and because the family had all split up and he was basically losing everything he loved, he stopped paying on the house and the bills and let the electric get shut off before the bank repossessed the house and everybody had to move.
At that point I'm not sure where everybody went. I was already living with my mom in Cheviot and my step sisters had all already moved out. Really in the end, my dad and step mom were the last two in the house. I was 14 when everybody was out.
There were six of us and we lived in that house for six years. If you believe what the Ouija board told my step sister, there were six ghosts or spirits in the house with us, and they hated all of us and each other. That's what my step sister told me one day. Put those factors all together and you get 666. I thought that was a creepy little coincidence.
Anyway, 1994 was when we were all out. The house was fixed up by the bank and put back on the market dirt cheap. Every now and then I'd think about the house, but I never took a trip to see it. Mostly because I wasn't driving just yet and I didn't want to ask anybody else to take me over there.
Finally one day in 1996 I happened to be nearby with my dad and I asked him if he'd take me by to see it. We pulled into the driveway and he shut off his van. Only I got out to have a walk around. It was strange looking in through the windows at the inside. Everything was nice. The walls were painted up real good, the holes had been repaired, the carpet was all new. It was good to see.
Then I got to the back of the house and tried to look in through my step sisters old window, the one that had been covered in flies. I couldn't see into it. It was like I was looking in a mirror. I'm not sure why that was.
When I was done I got back in my dads van and he tried to start it, and it wouldn't start. A couple of times he tried. It cranked, but it wouldn't turn over. I just smiled. He said to me, "If I have to get out of this van in THIS DRIVEWAY and try to fix this van in THIS DRIVEWAY, I'm disowning you as a son." I responded, "What do you expect? This is the house from hell and it knows we're here." I honestly wasn't surprised. Just then the van started and my dad wasted no time in leaving.
Six months later while talking to him he said he wanted to let me know that the entire time he had owned that van the only time it ever didn't start like that was that day in that driveway. Never before, or since.
Lastly, I got to make another stop there one night more recently. It was back in 2007, give or take a year. I was delivering pizzas in that neighborhood and one night I was just lucky enough to get a delivery to that house.
I pulled in the driveway just to see how my car would react. A man answered the door and I gave him his food. After he paid me I had to ask him if he had ever experienced anything strange in the house. Instead of asking me what I meant by "strange" he just said that he was a man of God and that he didn't believe in those things. In other words, he knew what I was talking about because things were happening there and he was ignoring them. I said "whatever helps you sleep at night buddy." And that was it, the last time I've seen the house. I have no desire to go back either.

Walter Pater's theoretical "come-back" over the past forty years or so has been dominated by the competing claims of the new historicism and deconstruction, both of which discover prescient forerunners of their own, seemingly mutually exclusive, theoretical concerns in Pater's aesthetic criticism and in his historical novel Marius the Epicurean (1885). Yet despite their obvious differences, both critical approaches share one thing in common: the same post-humanist denigration of the trope of metaphor in favor of the seemingly more ethically responsive (because inclusive) trope of metonymy. In this essay I observe how the new historicism's and deconstruction's privilegings of metonymy as the prime trope of difference poses an immediate problem for ethical thought that, largely under the influence of Alain Badiou, has become increasingly cognizant of the need for a workable conception of sameness (or universality), traditionally supplied by metaphor. Accordingly, this close reading of the metaphorical dialectic of one of Pater's surprisingly underread Imaginary Portraits, "Sebastian van Storck" (1887), explores the basic charge against metaphor-namely, that it is an essentially "theological" trope insofar as it invariably pre-posits the "identity" that it modestly claims to have merely discovered. Employing the central figure of Sebastian's idealism- equation-I venture that, once rethought as a relation not of identity but of equivalence, metaphor is capable of shouldering the rhetorical burden of similarity without relinquishing its ethical claim as a primary producer of new differences in the world and is, hence, deserving of a central place in a post-deconstructive ethics.

Sports briefs: April 25
NASCAR levels Kenseth, Gibbs after engine fails inspection
NASCAR has a zero-tolerance policy when it comes to engines, tires and fuel on a race car. Anything even slightly improper is dealt with severely. Matt Kenseth and Joe Gibbs Racing were no exception, getting hit with one of the largest penalties in NASCAR history Wednesday after the engine from Kenseth's race-winning car at Kansas failed a post-race inspection.
The team had nothing to do with the error, and manufacturer Toyota immediately accepted responsibility for one of eight connecting rods failing to meet the minimum weight requirement by 3 grams — less than an empty envelope.
"We take full responsibility for this issue with the engine. JGR is not involved in the process of selecting parts or assembling ... engines," Toyota Racing Development President Lee White said.
Kenseth was stripped of everything but the trophy from Sunday's win at Kansas. He was docked 50 driver points in the standings — he earned only 48 points for the victory — and fell to 14th from eighth.
NASCAR also suspended crew chief Jason Ratcliff for six races and fined him $200,000. And in a rare move, Joe Gibbs had his owner's license suspended for the next six races and he won't earn car owner points during that time. JGR said it would appeal.
■ Johnny Sauter lost the Truck Series points lead Wednesday after NASCAR penalized him for an illegal fuel cell at Kansas. Sauter was docked 25 points, knocking him from first into a second-place tie with Jeb Burton, 13 points behind new leader Matt Crafton.
The illegal fuel cell was found on the No. 98 Toyota during an opening-day inspection and was not used in the race. NASCAR also suspended crew chief Joe Shear four races and fined him $10,000.
■ Denny Hamlin hasn't been cleared to race at his home track in Richmond, Va., as he had hoped. Hamlin sustained a compression fracture of a vertebra in his lower back in a last-lap accident at California on March 24. Doctors said he'd miss at least five races, but Hamlin hoped to return early to race at Richmond, where he's a two-time winner. Hamlin has missed three races so far.
■ Federal budgetary constraints mean the U.S. military will not provide a flyover at this year's Indy 500, an Indianapolis Motor Speedway spokesman said. Officials still expect a flyover, however, featuring decommissioned military aircraft now owned by civilians.
Godolphin 'appalled' at doping scandal
The head of Godolphin ordered one of his stables in Newmarket locked down and a full round of blood tests carried out on all his horses after one of his trainers was charged Wednesday in a major doping scandal. Sheik Mohammed bin Rashid al Maktoum, who is also the ruler of Dubai, said he is "appalled and angered" that samples from 11 of his horses at the Moulton Paddocks stables were found to contain traces of anabolic steroids. Trainer Mahmood Al Zarooni was charged with violating multiple rules related to banned substances, as well as failing to keep medication records. He will appear before a British Horseracing Authority disciplinary panel Thursday and could be stripped of his license.
Cowboys Stadium to host first title game
The first championship game in the College Football Playoff will be held at Cowboys Stadium. Arlington, Texas, beat out Tampa, Fla., in the bidding to be the site of the first title game in the new playoff system. The game will be held Jan. 12, 2015.
For the Cotton Bowl and its organizers, landing a spot in the playoff rotation and the first title game is the culmination of a return to prominence. The game dates to 1937 but when the Bowl Championship Series was implemented in 1998, the Cotton Bowl was left out and lost much of its luster.
Georgia signs high-scoring forward
Georgia has signed Cameron Forte, one of the nation's top junior college scorers. The 6-foot-7 forward will have three years of eligibility after playing at Howard College in Big Spring, Texas.
Forte averaged 22.5 points for Howard after averaging 36.2 points as a senior at McClintock High School in Tempe, Ariz.
■ Syracuse's C.J. Fair, the team's leading scorer and rebounder, is returning for his senior season.
■ Southern California center Dewayne Dedmon says he's leaving school to enter the NBA Draft. He led the Trojans in rebounding (7.0 per game), blocks (66) and steals (34) this season.
■ Indiana guard Maurice Creek is leaving the Hoosiers to get more playing time. Coach Tom Crean said that Creek will graduate next week and will look to play next season as a graduate student.
■ Prosecutors have dropped all charges against Connecticut center Enosch Wolf stemming from a February domestic violence arrest on campus.
Ex-NKU AD accused of diverting funds
The president of Northern Kentucky University says the school's fired athletic director told lawyers he spent up to $150,000 in university money for personal use and investigators have been notified.
The Kentucky Enquirer says Geoffrey Mearns wrote to the school's Board of Regents that he notified both federal authorities and the state attorney general about what he called a pattern of financial misconduct by Scott Eaton, who was fired March 16 for having intimate relationships with four NKU employees, including two reporting directly to him, and one adult student.
Legends lose 2nd in row in Asheville
The host Asheville Tourists made it two straight wins over the Lexington Legends with a 6-3 victory Wednesday night.
The Legends scored a run in the first, but Tom Murphy's two-run homer gave Asheville the lead in the bottom half. The Legends evened the score in the second on a single by Ethan Chapman, a stolen base and an RBI single by Terrance Gore.
The Tourists took the lead for good in the third when Kyle Von Tungeln doubled, stole third and scored on a single by Jose Rivera.
Asheville starter Shane Broyles (1-2) got the win. Miguel Almonte (0-3) was the starting and losing pitcher for the Legends.
Like Barcelona, Real Madrid humbled
First Bayern Munich, now Borussia Dortmund. Barcelona fell on Tuesday; 24 hours later Real Madrid fell in a manner so similar as to fuel suggestions that the European balance of power has moved north. For a second successive night a Spanish giant conceded four goals in Germany. Madrid at least scored once in the 4-1 rout highlighted by a four-goal blitz from Dortmund's Robert Lewandowski.
■ Liverpool striker Luis Suarez was banned for 10 matches by the English Football Association for biting an opponent during a Premier League match, ruling him out for the rest of the season.
The last word
Jack Nicklaus thinks Tiger Woods got the proper ruling — a two-stroke penalty, not disqualification — at the Masters. However, he's not so sure he agrees with the slow-play penalty given to 14-year-old Chinese phenom Guan Tianlang.
"He's in the eighth grade! The eighth grade and he's playing in the Masters! And he gets a penalty? Can you imagine giving a 14-year-old kid a penalty for slow play? There's hundreds of guys who are much slower probably than (he was) and they figure out a way to get away with it."

Visitor Information
Welcome to Northampton, the best of both worlds, a sophisticated rural lifestyle with all the cultural, artistic, academic, and business amenities of a big city. Northampton has retained much of its historic character in downtown Northampton, its residential neighborhoods, and the smaller commercial village centers of Florence and Leeds.
Northampton features one of the most vibrant downtown centers in New England offering a unique blend of independent retail shops, eclectic restaurants and cafes, art galleries, museums, clubs, and theaters earning its name as "#1 Best Small Arts Town in America" by author John Villani and one of the "Top 25 Arts Destinations" in the nation by AmericanStyle magazine.
It is no surprise that the Boston Globe said, "This small city offers more restaurants and shops, certainly more galleries, theaters and performance venues than most urban centers dozens of times its size. Add two rivers, mountain views, landscaped parks and meadow walks, and you begin to see why people call it paradise."
Academy of Music Theatre
The Academy of Music Theatre is a historic building - the sixth oldest municipally owned theater in the nation and the only one that has shown films in the 19th, 20th and 21st centuries.
Bike Trails
The Manhan Rail Trail extends from downtown Northampton to Easthampton, and will soon reach all the way to New Haven, Connecticut. The Norwottuck Rail Trail takes you past farmland through Hadley and Amherst to end in Belchertown, and will eventually connect to Boston. And the Northampton Bikeway zips you up to Florence and Leeds.
Childs Park
The Childs Park is an urban oasis and is located between Elm Street and Prospect Street and is designated as a place of serenity and quiet reflection. This is a wonderful spot to retreat from the world, enjoy beautiful gardens and bask in the afternoon sun.

i used to love going to this coffee shop, they always had a variety of healthy food and baked goods. The atmosphere was warm and casual.
They must have changed ownership/management because now the place is very cold and sterile. The limited amount of food they offer is wrapped in plastic sitting in a display case, the staff are indifferent...
Sadly, the mocha I had was not very good. It was weak and I wondered if they may have forgotten to put in the espresso.
Beanery the can be found at W 5th Ave 152. The following is offered: Cafes. The entry is present with us since Sep 9, 2010 and was last updated on Nov 14, 2013. In Eugene there are 14 other Cafes. An overview can be found here.

20 days ago I abandoned my career as an Engineer in search of something else, something unknown. I would like to say that my world has been turned upside down, but it's more true to say that it was already upside down, and that it has now turned the right way up. For the first time in my life I feel truly free.
There are two simple statements that have been resonating with me of late. Two simple statements that can be heard loud and clear by anyone, but take great attention and contemplation to fully understand.
The first is "Just Do It". Here and now. This really is it. Right now. Next year we will all be older. Soon we will be dead. There are many things I want to do in my life. My biggest hurdle has not been an inability to achieve my goals, but rather an ignorance of my options and a fear of change. What will I do without my high Income? Will I be able to get another Job? Where will I live? These questions only served to keep me still. To keep me stuck in fear of change and perpetually failing to really live the life I have. The future is uncertain. But regardless, it is always possible that I might fail at what I don't want to do anyway, so why not at least try and do something I really want to do? Why not pick that thing I want to do, and Just Do It?
The second is "Live and Let Live". I spent too many years in hate. There are many people in this world, and many different ways of life. Yes, there is one and only one truth about life, the Universe and all that is and will ever be, but who am I to think that I am right in what I 'know'. I may see many beliefs as silly or unwarranted, but who am I to tell anyone what they should or should not believe. We should express ourselves and our thoughts, and we should listen to others, it is the best way to grow in self. But we must learn to just love each other regardless of what we each choose to believe, be it out of introspective conviction, faith, science, ignorance, whatever. I have found great peace in the past weeks by learning to just accept anyone for who they are, regardless of whether they are willing to accept me or not.
These last few weeks have seen me completely lose who I thought I was. I now know, with absolute certainty, that money and happiness have absolutely nothing to do with each other. All of the best memories I have made over the past year have been in the last few weeks.
Playing Jenga for the first time. Having a secret party under a bridge. Watching the clouds from a mountain top. Road trips. My friends bucks night at the pub. But most of all, what has brought me the most peace and happiness is people. I have met many new and amazing people.
I don't know where I will be in 4 months. But wherever it is, it will be somewhere I want to be. Otherwise I wont stay.

into USC Film School rather than as a freshman. First off USC Flim and Music Schools are the best in the World and are hyper competitive, they are the two closest Schools USC has that can compare to Ivy's as far as competitivness for incoming freshman goes. I would even suggest reapplying in two years not one. After two years kids switch majors, so spots for his graduation year will open up.
I would suggest go the Major/Minor avenue, if it is allowed by the Film School. Major in Comm or English and get a minor in CNTV (if that is still offered) Go Communications Major and Screen Writing Minor.
If this kid wants to get into Movie and TV post production then you have to go through the film school, thats what USC is known for. If the kid just wants to get into the entertainment industry and be a PA on set all day and work his way up, or looking for an in to pitch a script or concept, then i suggest Communication, Egnlish, Creative Writing etc. My best recommendation would be to intern at a Studio the second you get into any school. NBC has the Page Program and Associates (for older students) DGA has a program as well.
My wife is a VP of Licensing and Brand Management for Universal Pictures, she is an emmy and oscar voter, she is in the entertainment industry and she has a Psychology Degree. Both my parents worked in the entertainment industry, my mom on the Movie Business side, my Dad on the Movie production side for a while and neither had college degrees.
Entertainment isn't what it used to be, pay isn't as great as it was, less perks all around, the best part of the entertainment industry is the health insurance.

I was thinking about that too teut. I think that it could go either way with these "assumptions" because there is fossil evidence that is supporting their findings, but as well they have to make some assumptions as to the genetic makeups to the organisms. since there is a lot to guess about, and like chad said we don't know what their internal anatomy was like for sure and they really don't know what genes the organisms may or may not have had. so i guess i think that in the end they are just assumptions.

Just a little story that I recently wrote for Rachel Marsden's current project 'Words are all we have' which she will discuss in the upcoming symposium Type Writing at BIAD. And some visual paraphernalia to keep it company ...
When he was writing, he felt different; liberated almost. A bit like nothing mattered because he showed nobody his words; they were his secret. And, he knew that the words would not betray him because this writing happened in his thoughts, or in fleeting moments on scraps of paper he would find here and there, and keep, secretly stashed in a little box under his bed.
One day, he noticed that the box was very full. It overflowed with an abundance of words and little snippets of writing, that, when he ran his hand through them, danced around in the little box. He put the box on his bed and decided, in a moment of contemplation, to unfold them and open out his words; to gather them up.
As he looked at them all laid out like little toy soldiers, he wondered: which way do they go? where is the beginning and where is the end? where are the edges of the words and where is the middle? All of a sudden, a big gust of wind blew through the window and all of the bits of paper whooshed up; fluttering in the air like butterflies and slowly gliding back down in a scattered pile. One piece fluttered down, lingering and dancing seductively in front of him, and his secret written words landed on the floor, next to a strange and rather odd looking contraption called a 'typewriter'. "To type write?" he said aloud, "what a wonderful idea!"
And so, he proceeded to type up all of his fluttering fragments on the strange machine called the 'typewriter'. He gathered up all of the pieces of paper that had looked after his words for so long and with a great sense of purpose, he pressed the keys of the letters of the words from the little bits of paper, which pressed the long strange silver things into an even more strange bit of ribbon which transformed into letters on the page.
So enthralled was he at the type writing, that he became feverishly engaged in hitting the keys to make his words all appear together for the first time, and before long, little errors began to appear on the page. At first he did not notice. And then, as he admired his work, he noticed slippages between words; where t's became y's and u's became i's. And strange symbols like ['s and :'s and !'s and #'s appeared through his words; scattered throughout the surface of the page.
He stopped for a moment and waited for a feeling of anxiety from these slippages. But, it did not come. Instead, these errors gave him pleasure and he embraced them into his gathering of words. Every slippage becoming a new-found and untouched version of his self. These accidental stutters made him think of all the other stutters created from the words on the tips of other people's fingers and the fingers on the tips of other people's words who had pressed down onto the very same keys. Each stutter, stumble, slippage was a mediated pause on his own existence that was filled with silences, stains and imperfections. Every stutter like an unnecessary silence on nothingness.

Only reason im writhing this short article about the new ParkZone Extra 300 is because of a few factors that grabbed my attention.
Im a sucker for smaller model rc airplanes, so the size of this new Extra 300 is just perfect for me, with a wingspan of 40″, overall Length: 36.8″, its perfect for storing in the hanger and fits snug in the trunk of cars.
This model is also a first when it comes to construction, as noted, the entire plane is made of foam, which i love because we all know how difficult and time consuming it is to glue and rebuild balsa planes after a crash.
One last thing to note, this model has a horizontal stabilizer that features an air foil rather then a flat surface. Now how well this ParkZone Extra 300 performs in the air is another question, but with the nifty options mentioned above, this should be a great model for advanced pilots looking for aerobatic maneuvers.

Peter, Peter, Pumpkin (Eater) Bread
It's cold outside and, like any other sane person in the world, cold weather makes me crave pumpkin-based treats. And the best of all pumpkin baked goods is, naturally, pumpkin bread!
Moist, sweet, and slightly spicy. The perfect accompaniment to a morning coffee or an evening tea. Also, you can eat it alone...a lot of it...like a whole loaf in one sitting. Though I would recommend against the last one because I tested it and, to be perfectly honest, it just doesn't feel as great as you thought it would!
I find that one loaf makes just enough to eat your fill but also to share a bit with your housemates, so that's exactly how much this recipe makes. Added bonus? You're left with half a can of pumpkin to try out some other recipes. Or, if you want to eat until you're sick, double the recipe to make two loaves.
- 7 ounces pumpkin puree
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup vegetable oil
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 1/2 cups white sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
- Mix together the pumpkin, eggs, oil, water, sugar, and vanilla.
- In another bowl, mix together the flour, baking soda, salt, and pumpkin pie spice.
- Stir the dry mixture into the pumpkin mixture until combined.
- Pour into a greased loaf pan and bake in a 350 degree F oven for roughly one hour, or until a knife inserted into the middle comes out clean.
Note: If the bread is not done in the middle but the top is browned, place a piece of foil over the bread and continue baking. The foil will keep the top of the bread from over cooking.
Yep, pumpkin bread is pretty much one of the most amazing things ever.

A title that, somewhat incredibly, she takes from Emma Watson. It's not that either are personally sitting down and firing off trojans at your computer. Rather, the artist-formally-known-as-Cheryl-Cole (now Cheryl Ann Fernandez-Versini after her recent marriage) sees her name most likely to be hijacked by web n'er do wells when searched for in the UK.
Security specialists McAfee have found that 15 per cent of search results relating to "Cheryl Cole" return high-risk content, including phishing attempts, adware, malware and viruses. Adding the terms "video", "picture", "mp4s" or "downloads" to a Cheryl Cole search only heightens the chance of stumbling across an attempted hack.
The second most dangerous web celeb for UK browsers is Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, while popstar Jessie J rounds out the top three. In the US, 19.38 per cent of search results relating to chat show host Jimmy Kimmel return malicious content.

I am very pleased to announce that the first installment of alternative collects for Year A, authorized by the Council of General Synod for trial use where permitted by the Ordinary, can be found at www.anglican.ca/resources/trialuse.
These collects are alternatives to the collects in The Book of Alternative Services (1985) and, where authorized by the Ordinary, the three-year cycle of collects published in Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006).
If you use these collects, you are asked to share your comments and suggestions by completing the response form found in the document itself.
The Propers Working Group of the Liturgy Task Force will be continuing its work with collects for Year B. In the near future the Task Force hopes to publish Morning and Evening Prayer for Ordinary Time and a version of the Psalter of The Book of Alternative Services emended for inclusive language and re-versified to meet the versification of the New Revised Standard Version of the Bible.
May God prosper our handiwork.
Liturgy Pacific is the on-line presence of Richard Geoffrey Leggett, Vicar of Holy Trinity Cathedral in New Westminster and Professor Emeritus of Liturgical Studies at Vancouver School of Theology. Here you will find sermons, comments on current Anglican and Lutheran affairs and reflections on the need for progressive orthodox Christians to re-claim our place on the theological stage.

since I was invited to preach in Hajdúhadház, I thought it would be good to see Gábor & the church in Nyíregyháza.
so Sunday morning Norbi & I left at 5am to make sure we got to Nyíregyháza in time for the morning service at 10am (we made it there by 8:45am by the grace of God). I had a wonderful time preaching about living a life of service for Jesus. After the service they had a church lunch that we were blessed to take part in.
around 2pm we left for Hajdúhadház. When we got there we went to the pastors house for some coffee & pre-church fellowship. This was the first time I'd met the pastor. One of his foster daughters came to church here in Szeged for a while (this is how I got the invite).
the afternoon evangelism service began at 4pm. I had never been to a Pentecostal service before so I had no idea what to expect. the service was long (2 1/2 hours) but a really blessed time to worship Jesus with people from another "tribe". what was great is that myself & the pastor, András, prayed with 9 people to receive Jesus, 5 of them were little kids.
after dinner at pastor András' house, we headed on home. We got back around 11pm.
so it was 19 hours, 830km (500 miles), 2 services, 9 new Christians. it was a GOOD day.

Medallion quilts are defined as quilts with a center area of interest surrounded by a series of borders. The center can be a pieced or appliqued block, or a wholecloth panel. The borders can be wholecloth, pieced, or appliqued. – from Liberated Medallion Quilts, by Gwen Marston –
Check out the Pinterest board I started to showcase these amazing quilts.
I love the look of medallion quilts and so I was very excited when I was invited to become part of a group on Threadbias to do a "round robin" for this type of quilt. Angela from All Patched Up is our courageous leader and organizer for the Round N' Round group (read more about our group here).
Here is how a round robin works:
Everyone in the group creates a center block (my block is right up there in the left hand corner of this post) and establishes a color scheme and/or theme. Then those blocks start to travel. They move from one quilter to the next with each person adding a border to the quilt. Eventually, the quilt returns to the original "owner" of that quilt…with all the gorgeous borders which have been added. The result is a collaborative quilt that celebrates the personality of each person in the group.
Angela had a great idea which was to include a journal with our center block – a place where we could indicate color choices, theme, likes/dislikes, etc… Each quilter will add an entry to the journal before passing the quilt in progress onto the next person. We are also going to include bits of fabric as we go to provide some continuity for future rounds.
As my quilt begins its travels, I will try to keep you updated as to its progress.
In the meantime, if you are interested in starting your own group, or just want to make a medallion quilt on your own, here are some great resources for inspiration:
Liberated Medallion Quilts by Gwen Marston (AQS Publishing)
Liberty Love by Alexia Marcelle Abegg (C&T Publishing / Stash Books)
The gorgeous medallion quilt in Abegg's book can also be found in the Spring 2013 edition of Love Quilting and Patchwork, which is a UK publication. Although the paper edition is now sold out, you can still purchase the digital issue.
Have you even made one of these fantastic quilts? If so, please give me a link to a photo of it in the comments so I can add it to my Pinterest Board!!

How sad.
The attack on the newspaper in Paris, Charlie Hebdo, was still big news for another week, raising a continuous flurry of news reports and commentary on the Muslim religion and its penchant for violence. Too often the reporting insinuated that all Muslims are terrorists, and it is only the Islam religion that promotes violence. That is simply not true. Throughout history other religions including Christianity have been twisted to support the right to kill in the name of that religion. Just think about the Holocaust. Just think about the battles between Protestants and Catholics that went on for so many years in Ireland. The truth is that none of these religions promote violence. They all teach about love and peace and tolerance. It is people who take those religious beliefs and tenets and twist them to serve their own purposes.
Friday's Funnies starts with this from Pearls Before Swine by Stephan Pastis. In the first panel Goat is talking on cell phone and says, "Hey dad, did you get the Ken Burns Civil War D.V.D. I sent you for your birthday?"
"Yeah what do I do with it?"
"You put it in the D.V.D. player I got you."
"In the little tray."
"What tray?"
"The little tray in the D.V.D. player."
"Which one is the D.V.D. player?"
"On top of the TV set."
Dad says, "Okay okay gimme a minute will ya.....? There okay I got it in and now I'm watching an explosion."
"Good. You're watching the Civil War?"
"No. No. The TV exploded."
Goat walks over to Pig and says, "Never by your parents anything invented in the last 30 years."
(I think my kids say that about me, too.)
This one is from Dustin by Steve Kelly and Jeff Parker. Dustin and his friend, Fitch, are in a convenience store. Fitch is holding a lottery ticket and says, "This is it Dustin. This is the one."
Dustin says, "Seriously Fitch? A lottery ticket?"
"Absolutely, Dude. I've got a feeling about this one."
"Fitch, why do you keep throwing away money on those things?"
"You can't win if you don't play, man." Then Fitch scratches off the ticket, looks up and says, "Lost again. Man, I wish I had a dollar for every time that happened."
Today's Writing Wisdom comes from Xander Bennet from his blog post, How Not to Write a Screenplay that was first posted last spring. Xander is a a screenwriter and author and his blog is all about writing and film. In this post he has an extensive list of things not to do, and amidst the humor are some points we all could take to heart as we write, no matter what form our writing takes. Here are just a few of the things we should not do:
Agonize over your script's title.
Start a pointless argument on Twitter.
Decide you need to do more research. Fall down a Wikipedia hole and forget what you were doing.
Change your screenwriting software.
Wait for your manager/agent/friend/reader to email you back.
Make more coffee; you need it.
Eat more snacks; you earned them.

Not to be trite but life has a funny way of being not so fun. Or funny.
For instance, I finally remembered to make my bi-annual doctor's appointment. For that I was rewarded with my much anticipated Ambien prescription refill.
'"Have you been diagnosed with insomnia?" my doctor asked.
"Yeah. By me." What was there to diagnose? I am dreadfully tired but I can't sleep at night. Doesn't get more textbook than that.
(Oh and the Valerian didn't help)
But I was sensing a troublesome vibe from my doc.
"Perhaps you should get diagnosed by a therapist?" OMG. Was she about to Ambien dump me?
"I'm not going to a therapist. They don't usually take insurance anyway and I am definitely not paying out of pocket for one."
I had her there and she knew it. She nodded her head resignedly.
"In fact," I was on fire, "I wouldn't even bother coming to see you if I knew my life didn't depend on it so much." Boom!
"But your happiness and well-being are important." Oh I was hurting for her. She was getting desperate and wanted to have that final say as only doctors do. Such a lovely smart SMART doctor but I was gonna win this one.
"My mortgage is important. My happiness and well-being depends on my ability to pay for it." Another boom!
"But no…it's important to be happy…"
"It's not gonna happen."
I won. Or so I thought.
"I feel something…some lumpiness…Have you ever had a mammogram…Ultrasound…"
She won.
That was Monday.
By Tuesday afternoon I was agonizingly waiting for an FNA.
In case that's a new term for you allow me to expound.
FNA stands for fine NEEDLE aspiration. A physician locates the suspicious lump and then inserts a needle into it, extracts some of it and then examines the specimen right before your very eyes.
Despite the needle issue, the upshot is that the results are instantaneous.
Problem was that the physician was unable to locate any lump.
Good news, you say.
Not just yet.
"Do you have time to do a mammogram now?"
Like she had to ask.
The truth was I didn't have time. But I waited anyway. And waited. And waited.
The problem with having an unscheduled mammogram is that you don't receive results immediately. You are relegated go waiting. And waiting. And waiting.
Yesterday – exactly one loooooooong week later – I was told the mammogram was clear.
Now I just have to follow it up with a breast ultrasound to cover all bases, in case the mammogram didn't pick up something. Unfortunately that's not for another month.
But at least – thanks to my newly refilled Ambien stash – I'm not awake all night stressing about.
I'm only stressing about it in every single waking moment.
I wonder if my doctor can prescribe me something for that? Hmmm…

Dow Jones has grown its digital video traffic by four times in the last year, says Rahul Chopra, VP of Video Programming at Dow Jones, during a recent interview with Beet.TV at the Wall Street Journal offices in New York. The growth comes in part from a wider reach; Dow Jones videos are now distributed across 30 platforms, including Apple TV, Roku and XBox, up from 12 in 2011.
Chopra estimates that Dow Jones is producing four to five hours of live video each day, but still derives a lot of views from on-demand video. The spikes come in the morning, driven by short news pieces, and in the evening when in-depth video features dominate. Video also helps to reach new audiences, he explains. "It's a way to introduce our brand to a younger audience, first movers, tech savvy, 30- to 35 year-old, highly social highly mobile," he adds.
Other distribution partners include YouTube. Chopra says on election night its videos earned more than 1 million views on that site.

Glasgow's Western Baths Club is a Victorian era private swimming and leisure club founded in 1876. As well as the original swimming pool and Turkish and Russian Baths there are two saunas, a sports hall and fitness suite. The club remains a popular local business today with over 2500 members and a waiting list. In addition, the grand Western Baths building was recently awarded A-Listed status by Historic Scotland.
As well as working with Origin Fitness to upgrade their fitness suite, Western Baths enlisted our expertise to improve their studio and sports hall facilities.
In 2015, the club worked alongside Origin Fitness to resurface their aerobics studio and main 435m2 sports hall.
The aerobics studio installation involved the laying of a fibreglass sheet underlay to ensure the floor was perfectly level. Using a specialist sports flooring, with wood effect, the top surface was then installed.
This sports hall project saw the first UK installation of LH Haus flooring system. The cushioned solution has been designed for the most demanding sports conditions and is compliant with the international standards for competitive badminton, basketball, volleyball and handball.
The Western Baths Club is a facility associated with historical values and survives solely on 'word of mouth' and 'member referrals'. Over recent years 'The Baths' have developed the gym and has installed the latest equipment and visual systems to improve the gym user experience.
Origin Fitness has provided exceptional service. Not only has the promise of delivery on a timely basis been fulfilled but a backup service on call outs and repairs has exceeded expectations. 'The Baths' will continue to meet the changing needs and expectations of our club members with the support of Origin Fitness.

Kipp Herreid and Nancy Schiller at the University at Buffalo have established the premier collection of case studies for teaching science, at the National Center for Case Study Teaching in Science (NCCST). The driving impetus is the belief, backed by evidence (e.g., Freeman et al. 2014), that active learning trumps lectures, and that case studies are perhaps the best form of active learning. The NCCST site has amassed over 500 case studies, peer reviewed, that are widely used by science teachers in high school and colleges all over the world.
However, many instructors worry that spending class time on case studies will short-change students with respect to coverage of the material. This concern is especially pronounced for freshman biology. Freshman biology encompasses a tremendous breadth and diversity of topics, attempting to survey the entirety of life! Freshman biology is also the only college science course that a majority of college students will ever take. The one or two semesters will be the culmination of science education for millions. What students learn in intro biology courses truly matters, for both the students and for the nation. How can we resolve the tension between breadth of topical coverage and depth of reasoning skills?
The recent emergence of the flipped class suggested to Kipp and other Biology instructors that we may have our cake and eat it, too. The flipped model, where students learn content outside of class, frees up class time for case studies, where students can explore topics in depth and develop critical reasoning skills.
I flipped my intro bio class in the fall of 2011, first with online lecture videos, then with supplementary web pages that covered all my former lecture content. I then used class time for various active learning activities, including a number of case studies that I developed or adapted from the NCCST site. I found that students in the flipped class showed significantly higher performance on exam questions with higher-order cognitive skills (Blooms taxonomy levels 3 or higher). Many of my colleagues who also teach intro biology, at Georgia Tech and at many other colleges and universities across the country and around the world, have also flipped, either in whole or in part.
Still, most faculty, even those practicing active learning, are hesitant to flip their classes. When I poll faculty at teaching seminars and conferences, the biggest barriers they cite are the lack of time and resources. Indeed, both recording my lecture videos and searching for or developing case studies and other in-class activities nearly consumed me that first semester I flipped. But what if faculty could get a list of the best available videos and case studies, for each topic they are likely to teach? Wouldn't such a resource enable many more faculty to flip their classes? Kipp Herreid and Nancy Schiller convinced the National Science Foundation to fund such an effort.
Therefore, over three years, faculty with case study experience and/or flipped class experience will gather here at Buffalo to develop case studies designed and intended for use in flipped introductory biology classes. Kipp has identified 12 major topic areas in introductory biology courses. Each year, the faculty will survey the available video resources and case studies in 4 of the 12 topic areas. The stated goal is that, at the end of the 3 years, all 12 major topic areas will have video resources and case studies that will address all essential or important subtopics within each major topic area.
In this first year, the four topics are cells, ecology, evolution, and genetics/heredity. All four of these topic areas are included in Georgia Tech's Biol 1510, Principles of Biology course. I am in the genetics/heredity group, with four wonderful colleagues. Thus far we have worked through two exhausting days to define all the essential and important subtopics in genetics, identify any available quality videos (that we would use in our own classes) that address each of these topics, and identify any existing case studies for each subtopic. The five of us have each taken on the development of videos and case studies that fill in the gaps – where videos and case studies for essential or important subtopics are missing. We are learning about how to make and edit animations and videos, and about copyright and intellectual property issues and permissions. We will go back and develop, review, revise, and submit, videos and case studies in the next 6 months. I will blog about my efforts, so readers can learn from my mistakes and successes. I hope readers will also contribute their wisdom and knowledge. Stay tuned.

An unusual series of dust storms has blanketed parts of the Colorado Rockies. Pristine snow capped peaks are now dirtied and pinked by the dust, which accelerates snowmelt. Water supplies are becoming unpredictable and much is set to change in landscapes which we have all taken so long for granted. Imagine the Rockies in 30 years time, bereft of Summer snows…

There is news that the odds of severe climate change are to be much worse than had been predicted- perhaps twice as much. According to the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change there is a 90% probability that Global Surface Temperatures will be 3.5 to 7.4 degrees higher by 2100. Unless drastic action is taken at an International Level, before a series of climate change tipping points begin the process of inevitable catastrophe.
By 2100 Much of South West America will become a dust bowl.
But with 30% of Americans either doubtful, dismissive or disengaged about climate change what will it take for them to accept such facts?
Future generations will look back on these current decades as a lost opportunity, but with the planet wrecked by 2100 who will care ?
Of one thing we can be certain- all those stupid idiots who casually deny these global realities will be commemorated on a vast roll-call of shame:
Christopher Monckton, Sarah Palin, James Inhofe, Christopher Booker, David Bellamy, Melanie Phillips, Vaclav Klaus, Michele Backman, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Fox News, the vast majority of the Republican Mediocrity Party (aka the GOP) and, for that matter, the legions of fundamentalist American evangelicals who have buried their heads in the sand.

Er…What? Look, you're clearly speaking English, so why have you just randomly made up words there? I've been playing this game for 20 hours and I still don't know what you're talking about. Why not just say 'group', 'rebels' and 'the mage'?

Bathroom Renovation
Carick provided a consultation, explained the projected cost/time line, and described each step of the work that our bathroom renovation would require. In addition they made recommendations that aided us in selecting materials (whether it was grout colours or fixtures) that would give us a beautiful end result. We could not have asked for a more professional, courteous and friendly team of people to do the work needed to transform a room that was a disaster area into a gorgeous bathroom. This has given us a lot of pleasure and truly improved our home. We were so pleased with Carick's work that we asked them to do further renovations on our house. A highly recommended company.

text: Thankyou for taking the time to view this site, I am a full time Artist working in Beverley my work currently based around painting. Since studying Fine Art at Hull (1997 - 1999), I have been expanding on ideas around the visual impact of man-made and other form(s) while dually exploding and drawing together representative forms. These have culminated in my latest works of the depiction of the environment as interlocking forms on a flat plane, and removing the element of depth. This suggested lack of depth hints at the all-consuming parts of the city and landscape we are both locked in the world but are also of the world . By trying to see the environment through form only then they become blurred abstract realities. Recent work has taken has taken a more painterly quality bringing layering techniques and colour theory to the latest paintings which can be viewed here. These latest paintings provide a strong direction for future work, both in form and technique. Please visit again or follow the Facebook page, feel free to leave any comments about the work which can be found here or in the contacts section. Please feel free to look at the galleries and contact me with any requests. Tim.

We make art because we love something about the process, product or both. Part of why I love painting is because I love the intellectual challenge of it. I love creating problems to try and then solve them. I love that painting gives me a venue for overthinking, one of my favorite past times. I love how painting has changed how I see the world. I love how painting has brought me closer to my mother and grandmother (both incredible artists) and introduced me to some of the most amazing people I know.
And yet, for all of that love, art is not always an easy love. Sometimes I'm not real excited about showing up. Yes, I do have the days when I leap out of bed...but mostly I wake up kind of cranky and have to coerce myself into the studio with promises of coffee. My love of art didn't suddenly make me a morning person.
But maybe that's because I've been doing it wrong. Each of us has to find, through probably some serious trial and error, how we work best. To kick off January, I took part in two daily art challenges. For 31 days, I started each morning with Lisa Congdon's simple line drawings. It was low stakes, and often fairly straightforward. And a surprising thing happened: I started the day with a pure and simple joy. Unsurprising, however, was that starting my day with joy meant the whole day was better, and it propelled me eagerly into the more challenging artist problems awaiting me.
So now for February that's what I've been doing. I start the day with something simple, somewhat easy, and filled with joy.
How do you start your day? With the hard stuff or the easy stuff?

Getting around town, I have noticed a stark and scary hands-off absence of security.
So different than the immediate vigilance after the attacks of 9/11 is the sleepiness of our security establishment now.
Recently, I noticed a security guard not on lookout, but rather on video games on his smartphone while standing post.
And then again coming down the street today, another guard (no child that is) was putting up handprints on the fogged up glass instead of having their hands safely on (or off) their trigger.
What was even more frightening was that the guard abruptly turns around while handprinting the windows, as if I did something wrong just walking by, and says to me, "You scared me!"
To which I promptly replied, "Really, you're the one with the gun!"
It's incredible how far we have fallen security-wise after the attacks from New York to Paris and Orlando to Kiryat Arba.
In the Wall Street Journal today, Bret Stephens writes, "It's depressing to think that the only way the world might understand the truth about terrorism is to have some experience of it."
Why do we have to be lazy and lackadaisical, playing around with people's lives, instead of with it and ready to prevent the next one and the next one? ;-)
