text: I don't know how these dudes managed to make an album this insipid and boring, but they should feel proud that they achieved it. This is like if Third Law era Muse made a metal album, but without anything theatrical/hilariously bad. This is ridiculously overproduced to the point of my disgust, added along to an unreasonable run time, with abso-fucking-lutely nothing happening the whole way. These kind of albums are why the term progressive metal has no real meaning anymore. It's not a terrible album, but it's insultingly boring and poppy.

About The Artist (More Info)
My current work is made from white earthenware. Basic forms are slab built or slip cast. They are altered, then put together, then altered again. I often use sewing techniques, such as taking darts and tucks and clipping curved seams, to create contours. It is as I manipulate the cool, smooth, clay that I begin to experience texture, and to contemplate the interplay between different surfaces.

We are talking about Prime Minister Narendra Modi's meeting with cinema stars and the discussion about it on social media. With Modi meeting just Bollywood people to discuss about GST on tickets and other things related to films, one wonders if he has conveniently forgotten the other big film industries like Telugu and Tamil.
Tollywood is the one that produces films (quantity) in near equal number to that of Bollywood. And the market is so big that today Hindi's biggest hit is Telugu film Baahubali. shouldn't Modi and his team make sure that they will be meeting Southern film industry biggies who are right now creating tremors in Bollywood as well? Many netizens are opining that this is the kind of justice always North based politicians do to the South, from a long time. felt that Modi's meeting are only propaganda to win the support of film stars for BJP's election campaign. he knows clearly that no south state in India is going to fall in his trap, he simply avoided meeting them. We have to see if BJP people will respond to this.

Phalaris aquatica (syn. Phalaris tuberosa) 'AQ1' | 'Bulbous Canary Grass', 'Harding Grass' | Rooted plant
We know you'll be as excited as we are to see this incredibly hard to find 'AQ1' clone back in circulation! Another of our EU exclusives (at least as far as we can tell – please let us know if we're mistaken), this is a legendary Italian cultivar of the much sought-after yet surprisingly difficult to obtain species Phalaris aquatica.
First observed (in Bologna, Italy), investigated and and bought to public attention in 1994, by Italian ethnobotanical researchers Giorgio Samorini and Francesco Festi, 'AQ1' is a perennial bunch grass with similar growth habits and requirements to Phalaris brachystachys. Phalaris aquatica as a species originally hails from the Caucasus and Southern Europe, although it is now also naturalised to countries including Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and the USA.
Easily propagated from cuttings, aquatica forms large bunches of stocky waist-high plants, with grey to blue-green leaves and dense and spiky flowering heads that grow to around thirteen centimetres. Aquatica enjoys incredible growth throughout the spring and autumn, and is consequently considered to be an invasive species across chaparral, grassland, oak woodland and riparian habitats. When purposefully cultivating the species, it is advisable to protect the bunches of grass from any heavy or sustained freezes.
Although 'AQ1' is considered by Phalaris conniseurs as among the best strains of the species, several other desirable cultivars of aquatica exist, including 'Australis'/'Australian', 'Sirosa' and 'Uneta'. A few interesting hybrids have also been created that combine the species with its cousin Phalaris arundinacea. Essential to any ethnobotanical collection.
Grown in sunny Spain and the UK!

EVERTON won the David Moyes derby with goals from Idrissa Gueye and Romelu Lukaku sending rock-bottom Sunderland closer to Premier League relegation.
The Scot spent 11 years at Goodison, before Manchester United came calling, but it was a miserable return as the Black Cats lost another life in the fight against the drop.
Seamus Coleman – one of Moyes' best buys during his time on Merseyside – set up Gueye to thump home on 40 minutes.
And the giant Belgian bundled home the killer blow in the final ten minutes, seconds after Moyes had risked it all with a couple of attacking subs.
The Mackems are now rooted to the bottom of the table with just 19 points – not quite half of the sacred 40-mark usually targeted for survival come May.
Stats, facts, goals and lols...
- Highly-rated Jordan Pickford was back in the Sunderland starting XI for the first time since a knee injury on Boxing Day.
- Arsenal and Manchester City have been watching the young goalkeeper and will be keen to see how he performs in the Black Cats relegation scrap.
- His deputy Vito Mannone was not named on the bench surprisingly perhaps he did not take news of his demotion too well.
- Last time David Moyes took charge of a game here on his old stamping ground was his final game in charge of Manchester United in April 2014.
- Last time David Moyes took charge of a game here on his old stamping ground was his final game in charge of Manchester United in April 2014.
- He was sacked within 48 hours of that defeat. At least his job on Wearside looks safe for now. At least - the Grim Reaper was not sat over his shoulder this time as he famously was three years ago.
- Moyes team selection means he has yet to name an unchanged starting XI in any of the 26 Premier League games this season.
Related stories
- Everton were looking to make it nine matches unbeaten - a run stretching back to the derby against Liverpool just before Christmas.
- Ideissa Gueye's goal was his first for the Toffees but also his first Premier League goal for any club.
- Sunderland are Romelu Lukaku's favourite opponent with eight goals against them now.
- The Belgian forward has now equalled Goodison coach Duncan Ferguson's record for most Everton goals in the Premier League.

"At the end of the game they turned it around."

Insurance scam targets tax pros, clients
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Cybercriminals are putting together several tactics to target tax professionals and their clients in a fake insurance tax form scam to access annuity and life insurance accounts, the IRS is warning.
There are a number of variations on the scam, the IRS noted, but in a common version, the cybercriminal impersonates a real cloud-based storage provider in a phishing e-mail to a tax pro, who is tricked into providing their e-mail credentials, including username and password.
The cybercriminal then uses the tax pro's account to contact clients with a fake IRS insurance form for the clients to fill out. Replies are faxed, or e-mailed to an address very similar to the tax pro's e-mail.
The e-mails to clients often include "Urgent information" or a similar request in the subject line, while the text reads:
"Dear Life Insurance Policy Owner,
"Kindly fill the form attached for your Life insurance or Annuity contract details and fax back to us for processing in order to avoid multiple (sic) tax bill (sic)."
Using data from the forms, the cybercriminal then impersonates the client to contact their insurance company to try to get a loan or make a withdrawal from the client's accounts.
The IRS is asking individuals who get one of these scam e-mails to forward it to firstname.lastname@example.com and then delete it, and is warning those who may have completed and returned the fake tax form to contact their insurance carrier immediately.

PALO ALTO, CA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Network Chemistry announced today that Aruba Networks (NASDAQ: ARUN) has acquired its wireless security business. This divestment enables Network Chemistry to focus entirely on its rapidly growing IT management business.
For more than a year, Network Chemistry has been working on a major initiative to help organizations better understand and manage IT through innovative search and collaboration technologies.

Project Wishbone breaks down the walls between isolated IT systems by using search algorithms to find the hidden relationships between data from different systems and devices.

Aruba plans to integrate the newly acquired products into its secure mobility solutions, as well as provide products and continuing support to existing Network Chemistry customers and partners.
The divestment includes the following award-winning products:
- RFprotect Distributed—a patent-pending wireless intrusion detection and prevention system that uses a central security engine and purpose-built sensors to automate threat detection, attack prevention, and 'no wireless' policy enforcement
- RFprotect Endpoint—a software agent that protects laptops by actively enforcing networking policies
- RFprotect Mobile—a portable analyzer for conducting site surveys, security assessments, and incident responses of wireless networks
- BlueScanner—a free, portable Bluetooth discovery and vulnerability assessment tool

What you'll need for applying for permanent residency in Argentina
These are the persons who can apply for permanent residency in the Argentine Republic:
- Parent/s of a child born in the country or a naturalized citizen who is still not an adult (younger than 18 years)
- Spouse of an Argentine citizen, be it native or naturalized.
- Child of an Argentine native or naturalized Argentine citizen.
- Parent of a permanent resident of Argentina
- Spouse of a permanent resident of Argentina
- Student
- Pensioner
- Financier
- Business person/entrepreneur
- An immigrant with a certain amount of capital (investment needed)
- Staff working for an Argentinean company with a contract
- Owner of a non-Argentinean company
Paperwork related to permanent residency application
The following is a list of documents that every person who wants to apply for permanent residency in Argentina must provide:
– A birth certificate from your country of origin (not a hospital copy). Keep in mind that you have to provide an apostilled certificate, translated by a certified translator and verified by a certified translator in Argentina.
– Passport. Make a hardcopy of every page, even the blank pages in the passport. In case the passport is not biometric, you will have to translate it. Carry the original passport with you when submitting the application.
– A record check from FBI or corresponding national agency (only for applicants older than 16 years). This record check must be apostilled and not older than six months. Translate it in the same way as the birth certificate. Province, regional or state criminal check is not acceptable.
– Antecedentes Penales or Argentinean criminal record check for persons that are 16 years old or older. Visit the federal police and explain the situation. You will get fingerprinted and after that, you'll have to download payment coupons from the official immigration site. Use these downloadable coupons in the Banco National to pay the fee. Deliver this packet with the coupons inside to the address highlighted in the forms.
– In case you are applying via "family status" due to the fact that you are married to an Argentine national or you have a child (under 18 and not married) who was born in Argentina, you'll have to submit the spouse's/child's DNI (national identity document) and copies of every page in this document. Bring the original documents with you.
– In case you are applying because you have a child born in this country, you'll have to provide a copy of the birth certificate of the child and the original document too. In case you are applying because you are married to an Argentinean citizen, take the original marriage certificate and a copy of it.
– Photographs. Remember that passport photographs are inadequate because they are large. The photos used in DNI are smaller. In addition, they require a small turn of the head. You can take photos like this in professional photo shops in Argentina. Ask them to take DNI photos. Bring two photographs like this with you.
– Once you submit all the documents and papers and get a confirmation that everything is fine, the authorities will give you payment coupons. Head to the Banco Nacional and pay the fee (600 ARS). Get back to the office with the coupons right away and give these coupons to the immigration officer.
– An invoice of a public service with your name on it or a certificate of domicile. In case you don't have any utility bills with your name on them, you should get a certificate of domicile from the nearest police station.
When you finish these formalities, you will get a CERTIFICADO DE RESIDENCIA PRECARIA (A certificate for permanent residency). Thanks to this certificate you will get a wide range of rights including:
– The right to be paid for work legally
– The right to obtain housing
– The right to study legally
– The right to exit and enter Argentina with this document
Keep in mind that CERTIFICADO DE RESIDENCIA PRECARIA is not the same thing as DNI. In addition, you can't get a DNI with this document. This certificate gives you the abovementioned rights. At the same time, the authorities are processing the request for permanent residency. The document lasts for 6 months. Before the document expires, go to the nearest immigration office and ask for a renewal. In some cases, the local military base (Gendarmeria) has officers like this.
There is an official government site where individuals can check the status of their request. But, this website is not updated regularly.
Getting and applying for permanent residency in Argentina: a few useful tips
– De-stress. There is no doubt that this can be a stressful process, but there is no need for that. Sit back and relax and think about other things. The Argentinean authorities are not the fastest ones and there is nothing that you can do to speed up the process. Find a way to de-stress and relax.
– Ask for help. In some cases, your Argentinean friends can help you with this process, but it's a better idea to look for professional help. The best option is to hire an experienced immigration lawyer in Argentina like Kier Joffe. These professionals know the laws and regulations and they can do their best to accelerate this process and get you a permanent residency without any hassles.
– Prepare yourself. In case you didn't provide one document, this mistake can slow down the process of application. In some cases, it can take weeks to get that document and some of the existing documents may expire. Double check the documents and obtain them as soon as possible.
– Stay informed. Once you submit the paperwork there is really nothing that you can do in this process. However, making phone calls from time to time and asking for the status of your request is a smart idea. In some cases, you will be asked to bring a document that is missing even though they said that everything was fine. Remember that they won't call you if a document is missing.

Poulter Pieters & Beef
Confirmed for stellar Irish Open
Words: GolfPunk
Ryder Cup stars Thomas Pieters and Ian Poulter are among the latest luminaries confirmed in the star–studded field for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open hosted by the Rory Foundation, along with fan favourite Andrew 'Beef' Johnston.
As Portstewart Golf Club prepares to host what is expected to be the strongest field in the event's long history, Pieters, Poulter and Johnston join a long list of superstars which have already been announced for the island of Ireland's national Open.
As the third Rolex Series event of the 2017 Race to Dubai, the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open will feature a record US$7 million prize fund, with a plethora of the biggest names in the game set to battle it out on another of Northern Ireland's iconic links courses.
Tickets are selling fast after the last two Northern Irish editions of the event sold out, but with two weeks to go, they are still available at www.dubaidutyfreeirishopen.com.
World Number 26 Pieters of Belgium made a huge impression on his Ryder Cup debut at Hazeltine National last year despite Europe's defeat, while Poulter has become one of the greats of the modern Ryder Cup era.
Johnston, meanwhile, rose to fame last year winning the Open de España at Real Clube Valderrama and has since become one of the biggest crowd–pleasers in the game thanks to his great sense of humour and unassuming demeanour.
Tournament host Rory McIlroy will return home to defend the title he claimed in such swashbuckling style last year, while World Number Two Hideki Matsuyama will make his regular European Tour debut having finished joint runner–up at last week's U.S. Open Championship.
The famously knowledgeable and supportive Northern Irish fans will also have the opportunity to see rising Spanish prodigy Jon Rahm for the first time while Olympic Gold Medal winner Justin Rose will play the event for the first time in seven years.
Tommy Fleetwood, who finished in outright fourth place at Erin Hills last week and currently sits in second position on the Race to Dubai Rankings Presented by Rolex, is another one of those already announced for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open.
A number of his fellow English luminaries, including World Number 20 Tyrrell Hatton, 2016 Masters Champion Danny Willett and Ryder Cup legend Lee Westwood, will also take on the spectacular Portstewart links.
Home–grown Major winners Darren Clarke, Padraig Harrington and Graeme McDowell will return for their national championship as will Shane Lowry, who won this tournament as an amateur in 2009, and rising star Paul Dunne.
Jamie Donaldson and Søren Kjeldsen, both of whom won this event on Northern Irish soil in 2012 and 2015 respectively, will return hoping to repeat their successes, while English trio Matt Fitzpatrick, Andy Sullivan and Chris Wood complete the compliment of nine 2016 Ryder Cup players in the field alongside World Number 32 Rafa Cabrera Bello, McIlroy, Pieters, Rose, Westwood and Willett.
Of the remarkable field gathering for the third of eight Rolex Series events, McIlroy said: "This is certainly one of the strongest fields I've ever seen for the Dubai Duty Free Irish Open, if not the strongest. It's really shaping up for an incredible week.
"Everybody knows how special this tournament is to me, and to return to Northern Ireland as defending champion, with my Foundation again hosting the event, is real honour.
"The Northern Irish fans are renowned the world over for their great support. The last two tournaments here in 2012 and 2015 were both sell–outs and the atmosphere was something else. I expect it to be the same this time with a field of this depth and such a great venue at Portstewart. So, those who haven't got tickets yet should really do so before it's too late."
Nice work from Rory as he makes a fans dream come true

A little over a week ago, I made a post about my husband for his birthday on my personal Instagram account. It was a picture of him and I in our Sunday's best giving our goofy smirks at the camera. In my caption, I described how smart, sexy, and wonderful he is as I wished him an awesome birthday.
Between the many likes and awesome, heartfelt birthday wishes from family and friends, a comment from a friend of mine back home caught my attention. Her comment read #PowerCouple. While I thought the comment was amusing and pretty sweet, I couldn't help but ask myself. What exactly does it meant to be a power couple?
Naturally, when people think of a power couples, maybe Michelle and Barack Obama, Jay-Z and Beyoncé, or even Kim Kardashian and Kanye West come to mind. These married couples certainly have made an impression and mark not just in our pop culture but the entire world. Their fame, fortune, status show how great they look together making them what some would call #MarriageGoals.
A few years back, I remember being part of a home bible study that a married couple facilitated from the church I attended to. Brandi and Jason were your young, hip, educated, upper-middle class Christian couple. The dynamic duo every other Friday night would shift my mindset about marriage and fuel my passion to learn more about Christ in the most profound and powerful way. You may be asking, "Okay, great. What exactly made them so powerful?" Here are 3 things that Brandi and Jason did that showed REAL #CouplesGoals.
They knew The Source of their power
Worldly power couples may rely on their fortune our status as a source of power but Brandi and Jason knew individually and collectively as a couple WHO THE SOURCE was. That source is Jesus Christ. They knew that apart from Him, they would not be able to do anything themselves (John 15:5) let alone stay married, raise their two beautiful girls, and minister. They constantly drew strength from God's Word fortifying both themselves and each other.
Learning from them in my season of singleness taught me and reaffirmed that God should be ALWAYS be in the forefront of my life and in my marriage. God's endless strength and power will be enough for both my husband and I as we face and come out victorious through our "impossibilities" just Brandi and Jason have. Brandi and Jason lovingly leaned and depended on God to give them their supercharge to walk in their God-given power.
They knew that their marriage was BIGGER than themselves
This is was a HUGE DEAL for me because Brandi and Jason were the first couple to show me that marriage was bigger than a license, a pair of wedding rings, co-habitation, blessed and unrestricted physical intimacy, with tax benefits on the side. Their marriage displayed a sense of purpose. They had a much larger understanding that their vows made to each other were more than a promise but a covenant, a solemn and binding agreement before God concerning each other.
Their marriage was a ministry and treated it as such. It was the first time I ever saw a married couple strive to mirror and parallel Christ and the church as Paul described in Ephesians 5:22-33 which I believe is one of the MOST POWERFUL things that any couple could do in a time where marriage is looked at as joke. Both Brandi and Jason knew that they had a mission and assignment to fulfill and that they needed each other with God in the center to complete it.
They did their very best to exemplify what Christ does for us by giving each other grace, love, forgiveness, and sacrifice. Even outside of church and the bible study, you could tell that God was in their marriage and everyone whether they were single or married took note of it.
They Worked As One
Just as Jesus said "I and My Father are one." (John 10:30), Brandi and Jason were one. You could tell that they were one both physically but also spiritually. Both, of course as a married couple had different roles and responsibilities but they functioned and worked very well together. Jason was your introverted, strong, silent type but was very effective in his role as being the priest and head of the household who loved his wife dearly. Brandi was the bold and colorful extrovert but reverenced her husband with such awesome submission and respect.
Both of them individually and respectively had unique spiritual gifts but when it came to making decisions, prayer, or talking about the matters of Christ, WATCH OUT! They were almost the equivalent of the spiritual atomic bomb. Watching them together in action made me praise God and look forward to marriage even more. It was so beautiful to see Jason cover his wife in prayer and Brandi backing her man up as he battle in spiritual warfare. They shifted atmospheres, encouraged, and prompted deliverance which showed true power as a couple.
Brandi and Jason may not be famous, rich, mega moguls but they have made an impression and mark eternally not just in my life but in the lives of others. Their example of marriage and how they use it in God's glory is worth more than riches and fame of married celebrities combine. Bottom line:
Any married couple that loves and serves The Lord passionately, purposefully, and willingly while actively displaying the gospel for others to see is a #PowerCouple to me.
Make no mistake, it's great to look good and make accomplishments together but the true question is, what does that even mean if Christ isn't in the center? I want people to experience and see God's glory in my husband and I's marriage as we are a walking epistle, a letter that is made to reveal Him. To me, that is definitely #MarriageGoals worth striving for.

This past weekend the who's who of the hort industry gathered in our fair town for the Oregon Nursery Association's annual extravaganza – the FarWest show. Gina, William and I left our worries behind and went together for a day of fun and revelry. Brace yourselves, dear readers – this is a long post of sensory overload…
Are you ready for a whirlwind of images? I'd say it's near impossible to see everything in a day, especially through the softening filter of of a few beers, but we did our best. 🙂 Here we go:
One can never have too many ferns, in my humble opinion… From the venerable Casa Flora:
Another fantastic material for creative types is bamboo… Sigh…
Inspired by the vaginal mandala – as so often happens in our merry band – the discussion turned to other sexual forms in nature, and the relative anonymity of a Twitter account. (Or, perhaps it was a Twatter account – I can't remember…) Here are two more we came across on our day in the big world:
Air plants were amply represented, especially here from Plantaflor USA:
Foliage and flowers galore – everywhere you looked!
Whew – that was a lot! If you're still with me – I hope I managed to convey at least some of the excitement. The three of us had a very, very fun day! 🙂

Buttons and bows
by Michael Dresdner
Front row: Sabrina Ebengho, Ben Stahl, Isaac Gutiereez photos by Kate Paterno-Lick
Re-imagining Shakespeare into different time periods and settings is part of the grand tradition of theatre, and that's what opened last night at Lakewood Playhouse. This time around director Kristie Worthey has plunged A Comedy of Errors into the present day Pacific Northwest, with the two lost pairs of twins hailing from Seattle and Portland respectively.
First, a quick recap of the highly confusing story line, just to refresh your memory. Egeon (called Aegeon in this version) and his wife had twin boys, both named Antipholus, for some reason. The parents bought a poor woman's twin boys, born the same day, to be slaves for their boys. Both slaves are named Dromio. Perhaps there was a name shortage.
The family was riven in a shipwreck and divided as such: Aegeon raised one Antipholus and his Dromio, who are now "away" searching for their siblings. Meanwhile, the other pair were separated from their mother. The searching pair arrive in, well, Portland, in this case, unaware that their father and their mother, now an Abbess in the town, are both there, but unaware of one another. They are also unaware that the orphan twins they seek live right there in town, as a well-know, highly respected, and wealthy married man and his slave.
L to R: Ben Stahl, Frank Roberts
As they make their way through the day, all four of the twins, in pairs and alone, are constantly mistaken for one another by townspeople, wives, and even each slave to his master. What ensues are inexplicably locked homes, seemingly illegitimate debts, lost gifts and money, confused sexual liasons, an arrest; you name it, whatever can go wrong does, until all parties are comically aggrieved and thoroughly confused. Eventually, all is revealed; the Abbess reunites with her long lost husband, Aegeon, and the two sets of twins discover each other, and their parents, for an all-around happy ending.
Worthey chose to set the play in a Portlandia version of Portland, OR, one chock full of weirdness in both behavior and dress, and even more odd, one where there are no long lines in front of Voodoo Donuts (named Zombie Donuts here.) The townsfolk cavort, joke around, make balloon animals, and generally act out with unfettered frivolity. They also trot out and play a variety of instruments , including flute, guitar, recorder, and saxophone, a nice tribute considering yesterday was the 201st birthday of inventor Adolphe Sax.
Naturally, this conceit gave Worthey the chance to add local references, timely gentle insults, and regional jokes to the text, some quite good. (Note to the community at large: "Deja Brew," the punch line of one such gag, is actually a damned good name for a barista kiosk, and certainly appropriate for a Java Tacoma installment.)
As for the play itself, the original still shines through, relatively unaffected and largely unharmed by this local and modern treatment, with one minor exception. I was sorry to see the famous and outrageous "spherical like a globe; I could find out countries in her" rant get truncated.
And the actors? With all Shakespeare, the most important challenge for the actors is twofold; they must truly understand what the language is saying (since, after all, it is not in present day English), and they must make sure, with expression, delivery, and body language, that they somehow convey that meaning clearly to the audience.
On that score, the leads did an excellent job. A tip of the hat to Ben Stahl, who played both Antipholus parts superbly, to Frank Roberts, who likewise did an outstanding job of the two Dromios, to the flashy and brazen Jodie Chapin for a delightful Adriana, the wife of the local Antipholus, and to Cameron Waters, who not only played a wonderful Aegeon, but then morphed into the second Dromio for the final reveal scene. Stahl, in comparison, does the reveal alone, playing both Antipholus brothers via rapid onstage costume changes reminiscent of the train scene in The 39 Steps.
The set and lighting design by Brett Carr was simple and unobtrusive, which is, at least in my opinion, exactly what works best for most Shakespeare. Skyline and bridge cutouts let us know where we were, but otherwise the stage contained merely ramps, a platform, and hiding spots for the actors to create settings. Costumes by Nena Curley were, I assume, meant to be intentionally haphazard, and were. Clothing ranged from a "hey, look what I found in my closet" top hat and tee shirt pairing, to the "let's raid the costume shop for something improbable" harlequin top dress sported by Balthasar.
So now it's time to ask the big question, the one that will tell you whether this version of the classic will delight or vex you. Since we're so near Christmas, I'll pose a seasonally themed version of the querry.
When you look at a stately spruce tree, do you think it is majestic and perfect as is, or just waiting to be made special with drippings of tinsel and brightly colored ornaments? Answer that and you'll know whether what awaits you is an unbridled treat or well-executed burr beneath your saddle.

The concept of recovery was conceived by, and for, people with mental health issues to describe their own experiences and journeys and to affirm personal identity beyond the constraints of diagnoses.
The recovery movement began in the 1970s primarily as a civil rights movement aimed at restoring the human rights and full community inclusion of people with mental health issues.
Recovery approaches are viewed by the consumer movement as an alternative to the medical model with its emphasis on pathology, deficits and dependency. There is no single description or definition of recovery, because recovery is different for everyone. However, central to all recovery paradigms are hope, self-determination, self-management, empowerment and advocacy. Also key is a person's right to full inclusion and to a meaningful life of their own choosing, free of stigma and discrimination.
Some characteristics of recovery commonly cited are that it is:
- a unique and personal journey
- a normal human process
- an ongoing esperience and not the same as an end point or cure
- a journey rarely taken alone
- nonlinear—frequently interspersed with achievements and setbacks.
Personal recovery is defined within this framework as being able to create and live a meaningful and contributing life in a community of choice with or without the presence of mental health issues.
Recovery approaches are different depending upon where a person is on their recovery journey. During an acute phase of illness, the person's capacity may be impaired to the extent that alleviation of distress and the burden of symptoms, as well as safety, is the primary focus of treatment and care. Regaining capacity for self-determination or deeper engagement should be a focus in the next stage of treatment and support. At later stages, when capacity is improved, there are opportunities for the person to consider broader recovery strategies.
The concept of recovery is represented in Figure 3. Top of page

I feel enormously proud of myself when I accomplish simple tasks without looking like an idiot.
But, when considering how to get back to the car place at the end of the day, I realized something: I am twenty-mumble years old and it's high time I start being self-reliant and learning a few life skills. And so, y'all, I took a BUS to the TRAX station and then took a TRAIN down to Murray and then I walked two blocks to the shop. All by myself!
And, because I get overly excited about very mundane things, I:
-giggled to my boss and told her I was "going on a public transportation adventure" and then she told me to make sure my cell phone was fully charged, wear a coat, not talk to strangers, wash my hands when I got home and call her if I got lost. Because she's my work-mom.
-printed off a map of the bus route and put a smiley face sticker on my destination
-called my sister and bragged to her answering machine about how I totally know how to take buses
-texted my roommates saying, "Taking the bus like a friggin' grown-up!" and a few minutes later, "On the train now like an ADULT!"
With gas prices inching toward four bucks a gallon this might become a regular activity for me.
And someday I'll stop broadcasting every time I do something marginally adult-like.

Yeah? I'm thiry-(mumblemuble) and I stillget giddy doing grown-up stuff. Like I had to get something out of my husbands car while it was in the shop and I totally drove to the place, asked where the car was, and got stuff out. I'm so brave.

I actually take great pride in having never been on a UTA bus. I wear it like a badge of honor. I took Trax up to ECEC once and transferred to one of the shuttles. All of the girls at the center kept telling me I should have gotten on the Number ___ (something) because it was faster than the shuttle. I remember looking at them as if they had horns growing out of their heads... get on an actual bus?
Great job on your accomplishment though! :)

I recently realized that taking buses scares me. I'm okay with subways and trains because they stay on a track so I feel like they can't deviate too far from the route I want to take. But with a bus there is just NO guarantee where that thing might go! It could go anywhere!!! So they make me nervous.
So I'm totally impressed by your bravery.

Tips to Deal with Stubborn Toddlers
Stubbornness and toddlers go together, and dealing with a stubborn child can be stressful for parents. If you're the parent of a stubborn toddler, here are some tips to handle his stubbornness.
By Amrita Gracias
The Oxford Learner's Dictionary defines stubbornness as 'determination not to change your opinion or attitude'. One of the biggest challenges parents face is dealing with stubborn behaviour in toddlers. Most toddlers are strong-willed, defiant, and refuse to yield to their parents' wishes. Their behaviour is essentially the manifestation of a conflict between their rapidly developing intellect and the authority exercised by their parents. Stubborn behaviour in toddlers is, on most occasions, internally motivated.
Some examples of stubborn behaviour in toddlers are the tendency to talk back, defy, refuse, rebel or show anger and aggression. These behavioural patterns come to the fore when they feel that they are being forced to do something they don't want to do. Stubborn behaviour in toddlers is also triggered by the tone or pitch of the voice in which they are spoken to and parental attitude.
Although stubbornness is a part of a toddler's normal behaviour, it should be corrected early on instead of being ignored or condoned. Disregarding or giving in to a toddler's difficult behaviour can encourage him to think that he can get away with such behaviour. But most parents don't know how to handle stubborn toddlers. Here are a few tips to guide you on how to help your child overcome stubborn behaviour and channelise her strong will in a positive direction.
1. Connect with your child: When you tend to coerce your child into doing something against his wish, he immediately feels the need to defy or rebel. Instead, try to connect with him and involve him in what you want him to do. For example, instead of saying, "Put away your toys now," you could say, "How about us putting away these toys now?" or "Let's try and put away these toys." With such an approach, your child will be willing to listen to what you say and cooperate with you.
2. Offer a choice: Toddlerhood is a time when a child's personality is still developing, and she is going through the process of trying to understand herself and the world around her. Being in the early stages of cognitive development makes a toddler think differently from older children. So, when you want your child to do something, offer her an opportunity to make a choice. This would make her feel important and eager to complete the task. For example, while getting her ready for bed, you can ask her to choose the pyjamas she would like to wear.
Making decisions is an important life skill which can be taught to children from age two onwards. In today's world, many kids are overwhelmed with excesses – be it toys, foods, clothes and activities. Therefore, they do not learn to value what they have and are tempted to acquire more and more, quite meaninglessly. Offering two choices at a time, helps toddlers understand and accept limits, they learn to value what they get, and they learn to develop self-control. — *Arundhati Swamy
3. Learn to compromise: Sometimes, it is okay to reach a compromise when your child is stiffly opposing you. Try to understand why he is being unreasonable and work towards an acceptable solution through negotiation. However, do remember to control the negotiating process. Also, it is important for you to make your child understand that strong will does not always win.
4. Stay calm: It is imperative to stay calm and not lose temper while facing stubborn behaviour. During times when your child is displaying difficult behaviour, don't try to argue or explain things to him. And don't walk away either, as this would leave her in control of the situation. Remember to not let your feelings and emotions be influenced by your child's behaviour to be able to take charge of the situation.
5. Ensure there's no power struggle: When your child is acting defiant or rebellious, empathise with him. Try to understand his perspective and why he is acting so. Refrain from using phrases like, "Do it now" or "Do as I say". Alternatively, you could say, "Let's try", "How about us trying?" or "Can you try?" Enforce clear, appropriate and reasonable rules. For, once your child understands that you are on his side, he will be more cooperative.
Stubborn children are highly capable and intelligent. Evidence from research shows that stubborn toddlers are less likely to give in to peer pressure during their teenage years and are more likely to grow up into confident adults with superior leadership skills. Parents need to understand and respect their little one's intelligence and creatively channelise their stubbornness in productive ways, while continuing to nurture and support them.

!!Con talk proposal: How to make a zine! on your phone! every day! for a month!
In 2015, I made a zine every week. It usually took me all day, from paper to scanner to editor to a printable PDF. This August, I wanted to do something bigger. I still had an iPhone 5. And yet, I made a PDF zine every single day! on that tiny screen! in Pages! with my thumbs! Restraints and limitations lead to amazing art!
We always had computers in my house growing up. First was my dad's Atari 2600, connected to our CRT TV. I got my first laptop, an IBM ThinkPad—my first computer that was only mine—as a high school graduation present. My current laptop is a 2011 MacBook Air, and over the last few years, I've avoided using it.
When depression is bad, everything is hard. Even sitting upright at a desk, staring down at a bright screen, using both hands to type. When you spend a lot of time in bed, you have to adapt your workflows.
I prefer to do a thing on my phone. I'm more likely to do it if I can do it on my phone. Every ePub I've posted over the last month: made on my phone, start to finish.
Some of us born in the early '80s feel caught between Generation X and Millennials. This feels like a very clear divide. If you reach first for your computer (especially one with a mouse), you might be Gen X. If you reach first for your phone, you're probably a Millennial, like me.
2 minutes intro: yes, I really do make tiny books on my phone history: Atari to PC to ThinkPad to iBook to iPhone
2 minutes why this works for me: depression = adaptation, I genuinely prefer the touch interface
2 minutes Apps: Notes, Pages, camera roll workflow: multitasking, sharesheet
2 minutes Let's make something together
2 minutes conclusion: GenX v. Millennials, mouse v. touch screen

Pregnancy is something you can coast through without too much thought. Yes we get morning sickness, pelvic pain, can suddenly taste what the next door neighbours had for lunch, there are many experiences over 9 months. But labour!? Well that's something else. It really is the great unknown to most and with all the horror stories of pain, its not surprising some people don't really want to know much about it and would rather 'just deal with it on the day'. Once I hit about 13 weeks, it all became very real and I remember thinking about child birth and going into a mild panic. Burying my head in the sand wasn't working for me so I decided to go the other way and just arm myself with as much information as possible. And by that I don't mean watching '1 born every minute', which seems to have made everyone think they're an expert. I mean real information with context. True, mothers have been dealing with it for thousands of years and somehow survived… without painkillers so this gives me hope. It just couldn't hurt to arm myself with information so that when something happens, I'm not in as much shock, especially if it's all compounded with the stress of labour as well. So here's a summary of some of the things available out there:
Antenatal classes: Once pregnant, these are groups to help prepare parents for pregnancy, labour and parenthood.
NCT (National Childbirth Trust) classes: These are private, paid for antenatal classes with about 6 couples, run by the 'NCT' to help prepare parents for pregnancy, labour and parenthood. A great way to meet other parents in your area.
Prenatal Yoga: a great way to gain exercise, meet other mums, practice positions that will help prepare the baby FOR labour and good tips of breathing/relaxation methods DURING labour. You might think it's a little hippy-ish but it's worth a try. My classes were held by Julie Adam in Blackheath (07979 218 firstname.lastname@example.com).
Active Birthing: Active 'labour' is about pro-active positions/movements etc that can help you pre and during birth. it's about not laying back and hoping for the best but turning women from 'passive patients to active birth-givers'. If you've read Caitlin Moran's book on 'How To Be A Woman', the difference between her 1st childbirth and 2nd is mainly denoted in a mental shift in expectation as well as a physical one, worth a read. So, the 'Active Birthing' classes take you through stage by stage, what to expect from labour on the day in physical terms to help aid a safer/easier birth and what you and your partner can do to help it be a better experience all round.
Hypno-Birthing: The best way I can describe this is mental preparation to help you during labour through breathing and visualization techniques. If for example you are visualizing a calm, positive scene that helps you to relax, you may relax so much that you 'zone out' or 'go into a trance'. This relaxed state is a coping method to help you through childbirth and to put you in a more positive frame of mind.

"I didn't know Jo very well, but of course I had every expectation and hope that I would get to know her better and work more closely with her in the months and years ahead. She came to see me some three years ago as Chair of the Labour Women's Network to talk about an idea she had for a women's think tank. We discussed what that might look like, but we roamed onto other issues - international development, women in parliament, and other passions. I assumed that with her charm and energy that think tank would go ahead, but it wasn't to be; some few months later she was selected and then elected, and the think tank was put on the back burner - perhaps that ought to be something we should ponder again.
"She came to me a year ago with a friend; she brought that friend, who was a Conservative, who wanted to be a woman member of parliament. Not all members of other parties are so generous as to share their friends with other parties; indeed, a living embodiment of, as she says, that we have far more in common than divides us.
"My Lords, initially I was concerned that this terrible tragic death would put women off coming forward. But now I wonder whether it is the case that, I hope, perhaps that her passion, her inspiration, her compassion, will in fact encourage women who've got what it takes, the resilience, to do so...there could be no better tribute to her if they did."

This production was a full destination trip to the islands of Puerto Rico. With a very small crew of the producer, director, and cinematographer we had to double up the responsibility to keep this production under budget. With help from our island friends, I believed that we could do just that. All of the cast members had to be Puerto Rican of course, and we shot in the Director's hometown of Penuelas.
The entire production was a cultural experience, and not knowing how to speak Spanish was a great challenge for me, but I left all of the Spanish speaking to the director, Eddie Alicea Gonzalez. We took the trip to Puerto Rico in September 2013; Eddie and I visited the island just to see what we could get access too. San Juan was our original location, but with all the tourism and regulation stuff, Penuelas became the better choice.
As production was taking place, the town of Penuelas showed us so much support. The school's theater was our meeting grounds and source for talent. We did our table reads there, conducted interviews, took headshots during auditions, and so much more. The government of Penuelas blocked the streets for us and allowed us to shoot there without interference from the local traffic- it was incredible.
While on the trip, we filmed in the mountains, and it was absolutely breathtaking. Unfortunately, I fell and cut my right foot while I was up there. I didn't want to go to the emergency room, so I settled for the local corner store- I took care of the cut like a champ. I lost the toenail from my big toe, but like I always say, "I'll be fine."
With my toe massively wrapped with bandages, we continued with the production. I became a little handicapped, but that wasn't going to slow us down. Oh, no! The locals really helped us when they could. We had ten scenes to shoot, and it was a rough week of shooting for the three of us.
On the last day of the shooting, it happened to be the Festival del Flamboyan. It was kind of like fall during summer time. The trees leaves were turning yellow, orange, and mostly red, and it gave the town a very warm color. The sun was out and the wind was blowing cool fresh air.
While the locals celebrated the Festival, it felt like a scene from the Fast and the Furious, at the gas station plaza cars were everywhere. It was the definition of a true block party for about five blocks. The music would make your hips pop, and watching the people enjoy themselves was beautiful, but before we knew it, it was time for shots! Shots, and more shots! It was a great way to end production.
Everyone at the festival knew who we were, and we even found out people were late to work because of our shoot, but it was cool, they knew we were just filmmakers trying to show the people of Puerto Rico in their true light. The power of film.

Investigators found the missing juvenile who told police she was forced to have sex with clients arranged by Jones.
"He would reap the benefits of the money that was made off of that activity," Greene said.
Greene did not say how long the girl had been missing, but said she is in a safe place.
"It is common for missing juveniles to find themselves in this situation," he said.
The investigation is ongoing and there may be other arrests, Greene said. Any victims who recognize Jones are asked to contact the special victims unit at 210-207-2313.

[Dixonary] Round 2989 FLIFFIS progress report
With 13+ hours left in the definition period, we have ten fake definitions of FLIFFIS from players Barrs, Carson, Cunningham, Embler, Lodge, Madnick, McGill, Shefler, Shepherdson, and Widdis. My spreadsheet has room for more.
The deadline, according to timeanddate.com <http://timeanddate.com/>, is:
As usual:
- If you sent a definition and your name is listed above, all is well. (You should have received a confirmation reply.)
- If you sent one and your name isn't in the list, please send it again. If you sent it to emallach at umassd dot edu, please send it to the address in the next paragraph. It might also be good to send a public message, without the definition itself, to the effect that you did that.
- If you didn't send one yet, please do. New players: Send a cleverly misleading fake definition of FLIFFIS to emallach at verizon dot net, not by public Reply to this message or to the earlier call for definitions, so other players won't see it and won't know who it's from when they see it in the list later.
I expect votes to be due 48 hours after the definition deadline: 9 pm on Sunday, June 9, in US EDT and other times in other places. I'll send a new table with the definition list. Please help make it a long one.

During an interview with NPR this morning, John McCain said he routinely turns to Sarah Palin for foreign policy advice. "I've turned to her advice many times in the past," McCain said in response to a question about whether Palin would be one of his foreign policy advisers. But McCain's message was contradicted by one of his surrogates, Gov. Haley Barbour (R-MS):
Obviously in a McCain administration she would not have much of a role in foreign policy because of his depth of experience and the people around him. … But in a McCain administration, her role substantively is gonna be primarily — in my opinion — about energy.
Watch video of Barbour's remarks here.

Biography - Samuel Miller
SAMUEL D. MILLER, a citizen of Cache Township, Johnson County, was born in Texas County, Mo., December 31, 1856. He is a son of Joseph and Mirinda (Bates) Miller, the former of whom was a native of North Carolina and the latter of Missouri. Joseph Miller removed to Missouri when a young man, married there, bought land, and reared his family in that State. After the war he sold his land and came to Illinois, and lived in Johnson County about one year and died in 1865. Samuel D. Miller remained at home and helped to support his mother until he was eighteen years of age, when he married Elizabeth Randall, February 18, 1873, who was born in Union County October 18, 1856. Her parents were natives of Tennessee.
Samuel D. Miller rented land about six years, when he purchased fifty-eight acres in Cache Township, and lived on this farm six years, at which time he sold out and purchased where he now resides, on section 10, Cache Township. He now has a farm of seventy-nine acres, and a good house and other valuable improvements. Not having had the opportunity to secure an education in his youth, he has always been a hard-working man, but he has been economical and a good manager, and has now a good start in life. His wife secured a fair education in Union County. Mr. and Mrs. Miller have three children living: Melinda A., James A. and Dosey A. He is liberal in his religious views, and is a member of the Democratic party.

Location: Great Harbor, Peter Island
Today for rescue, we spent the day practicing in-water rescue breaths. It was the most challenging day of exercise so far. The Neptunes, meanwhile, did two dives: a dive for their wreck specialty on the Fearless and a reef dive on one of the inside moorings. We all get along really well with one another, which is great. Rescue diving will only get harder from now on as soon we will go into rescue scenarios, which are meant to test our abilities. So far, the training has been both funny and fun. We have learned a lot. Even if we had to repeat the skills to get them right, we're still having a good time and lots of laughs. Lunch was lovely, grilled cheese. Dinner was summertime Thanksgiving, and we had Mike (the Director) over. We all got to pick our black and white postcards that he brought that were meant to represent characteristics about ourselves that we are proud of and not so proud of and a third card that represented what we thought friendship was. Today was awesome!
