Whistler Music Search 2016 at the Crystal Lounge was, if anything, the toughest year yet to be an entrant.
More entries to the seventh annual event led organizers to add six acts in each of the preliminary rounds, with five going through to the final on Thursday, Oct. 27 as winners and wildcards.
The five — The McQuaid Trio, Chad Storm, Magik Spells, Christine Sherrington, and Susan Holden and the Groove Section — played originals and covers to a sold-out show.
When the dust settled, Vancouver-Squamish indie band Magik Spells was chosen as winner.
The band will receive two full days in Sound & Soul Studio in Squamish, plus a photo shoot at David Fornier Photography and $500 cash (the package is valued at $2,500).
Second place went to the McQuade Trio, who took home a guitar, with the first Dave Morris Memorial Award for Originality in Music going to Susan Holden and the Groove Section.
The Squamish-based drummer of Magik Spells, Joel Macleod, said the band was stoked to have the studio time since they were currently working on their second album, a followup to this year's release Elements.
Macleod says the five members of the band share songwriting duties equally; vocalist Logan Murray joined earlier this year.
He and Macleod are joined by guitarists Jacob Ayden and Jason Stafhko, and keyboardist Tyler Archibald.
"Three of us originally got together in Alberta, but when we moved to Vancouver four years ago, Tyler joined us and then Logan," Macleod explains.
"Our music is created in a way that allows it to be open to interpretation. Whatever is important to you, hopefully it will come across in the music. I don't want our music to be super black and white."
The band's first gigs were in Squamish, and Magik Spells put on a mentorship program at Howe Sound Secondary School in 2015.
"We're active in the community. The mentorship was a two-part thing — a battle of the bands and the band that won got to do a two-part workshop with our band, where we played and we gave them pointers," Macleod says.
But until the Whistler Music Search, the band had never played Whistler.
"This is one of the reasons we did the competition. We wanted to meet people, make some contacts, and then hopefully we will play there more. It would be easy to do shows both in Squamish and Whistler," Macleod says.
The band has that in-sync ability to stay on song seemingly without noticing what the other band members are doing. Macleod says they rehearsed twice a week together in the run-up to their Crystal Lounge shows.
"Our strategy was to be the best exhibition of our band under the circumstances," he says.
"We normally have a proper sound check and a light show, but we couldn't so we decided to just get up there and do our thing, play the songs the best we could.
"We like interacting with each other when we play, but as much as it's a group thing, it is also an individual performance. We're in our own worlds enjoying what we are doing. Sometimes you just have to close your eyes and let 'er go, I guess."
Macleod says he couldn't believe how many people turned out for the competition.
"Right at 9 p.m. the place was at capacity. The competition was organized and well run," he says.
"It was great and I will definitely go watch it next year. Everybody singing together at the end was a really nice finish."
Magik Spells has future shows at the Crystal Lounge, read Pique's Nightlife listings for info. Their next show is at the Knotty Burl in Squamish on Friday, Nov. 11 at 10:30 p.m.

Some of San Jose's most vulnerable communities — the homeless and low-income senior citizens — are in crisis. A new report from the Health Trust offers crucial new information about their plight and a smart, relatively low-cost solution that deserves the support of the City Council and Santa Clara County's Board of Supervisors.
The study documents the degree to which food insecurity is a problem for the 4,000 individuals who are homeless and the 29,755 low-income senior citizens in San Jose. More important, it identifies a reason: Safety-net food providers don't adequately reach the locations where many of the needy are located.
Health Trust CEO Fred Ferrer believes that for as little as $1.5 million to $2 million for additional food drop sites and mobile meal services, the city and county could dramatically improve the lives of the homeless and low-income seniors. The additional sites also should help those responsible for enrolling more qualified individuals in the state's CalFresh program.
Ferrer says every increase of 100 individuals enrolled in CalFresh brings $200,000 in spending to the city, helping the local economy. And it's cost-effective in other ways: Poor nutrition contributes to chronic conditions that land the homeless in hospital ERs for expensive treatment. Most hospital stays cost taxpayers thousands of dollars.
But mainly it's a moral issue. In this wealthy valley, people should not have to wonder where or when they will next have a nutritious meal. The Health Trust report offers a clear path to do something about it.

Science-art is coming to Vienna I.
The Brainstorms teamed up with artists to present their projects at The Brainstorms Festival. Check out a short introduction about the first three! You will be able to visit all the mindblowing pieces on spot! See you there!
Philipp Lammer- "EigenSkulptur"
The work "EigenSkulptur" investigates the aesthetic mechanisms of a cybernetic sculpture, which reconfigures itself and thereby changes not only its appearance but also the process of further reconfigurations.
Inspired by biological systems, identical tesselated parts inform the operating principle of the whole through their composition. With the help of an electromagnetic mechanism, each of these elements has the ability to rotate on two axes and thereby assume four different states. The sculpture is generated with modern DIY techniques.
Link: https://vimeo.com/356869510
Andreas Fraunberger- "Escape Velocity"
Escape Velocity is a VR experience that puts the audience into the minds of four refugees that were forced to leave their respective home countries. The audience gets to experience their very personal stories from the viewpoint of the main protagonist - filmed in stereoscopic 360 ° video and presented in VR.
Virtual Reality has often been called an empathy machine - and rightly so. We strongly believe VR is the perfect medium for what we are trying to achieve. VR headsets literally wrap the story all around you and let you see the world through someone else's eyes - until you get fully absorbed and you forget they are someone else's. You become them. And this moment is the perfect opportunity for storytellers to create maximum impact.
Link: https://www.jungeroemer.net/escape_velocity/
Aleksandra Pawloff- "I came as a stranger"
Aleksandra was born in Vienna from a mother and a father who both had to flee their respective home countries. She grew up in France and in Austria and was an assistant to the photographer Elfie Semotan before becoming a freelance photographer herself. Her focus of interest lies in the person and their story, not in their appearance. She loves her work and finds people fascinating.
"I came as a stranger" is about people coming and people leaving, in this case scientist enriching Vienna.

Southern Gospel Music Concerts (3)
At the Maritime Gospel Music Association our mission is to share, promote and have fun the Gospel through music. Roberta Martin influenced black gospel music in much the identical means as Bartlett and Brumley popularized gospel music among a predominantly white constituency.
Dorsey was also instrumental in founding the National Convention of Gospel Choirs and Choruses (NCGCC), which was headquartered in Chicago.
Which means you will get to know the hearts behind the music as you tap your feet to your favorite songs.
Dorsey, extensively referred to as the Father of Gospel Music," composed lots of the most celebrated gospel songs, including (There'll Be) Peace in the Valley (for Me)," I'm Going to Live the Life I Sing About in My Song," and Take My Hand, Precious Lord." Although Dorsey by no means claimed credit for creating the genre of gospel music, he acknowledged that he coined the phrase gospel songs" within the early Twenties, giving a reputation to the new musical style.
While the music of some of these pioneers often transcended race, socio-economic standing, and denominational variations, business gospel music as an entire has seemingly taken divergent paths depending on the race of its performers and their respective audiences.

Old Photos
As I thumb through books of old photos, I can hardly resist a quick drawing of some of the long-gone faces I see in them. This time I didn't resist at all. The sketch is based on a fragment of a larger scene depicting Londoners enjoying an afternoon on a merry-go-round, sometime during the 1920's. She's having the time of her life.
I wonder how the rest of it went.

CNN's chief international correspondent said skeptics of man-made global warming should not be given equal time on the news while accepting an award for championing press freedom.
Christiane Amanpour, who hosts the nightly show "Amanpour," then went on to say how covering ethnic cleansing in Bosnia during the 1990s taught her to "never to equate victim with aggressor, never to create a false moral or factual equivalence."
"It appeared much of the media got itself into knots trying to differentiate between balance, objectivity, neutrality, and crucially, truth," Amanpour said while accepting an award for press freedom in November. The award was presented by the Committee to Protect Journalists.
"We cannot continue the old paradigm–let's say like over global warming, where 99.9 percent of the empirical scientific evidence is given equal play with the tiny minority of deniers," she said.
"I learned long ago, covering the ethnic cleansing and genocide in Bosnia, never to equate victim with aggressor, never to create a false moral or factual equivalence, because then you are an accomplice to the most unspeakable crimes and consequences," Amanpour added.
Amanpour is far from the first journalist to suggest keeping global warming skeptics largely out of the media.
BBC News's governing body reported in 2014 that 200 staffers got training on how to exclude marginal views from news coverage, including views of global warming skeptics.
"Science coverage does not simply lie in reflecting a wide range of views but depends on the varying degree of prominence such views should be given," the Trust reported, singling out skeptics.
Some climate scientists and environmentalists even refused to publicly debate their critics. For example, in 2014 Dan Weiss, the former director of climate strategy at the liberal Center for American Progress, refused to appear on Fox Business to debate noted skeptic Marc Morano.
Amanpour seems to agree with BBC and other outlets that have minimized air time given to global warming skeptics.
"I believe in being truthful, not neutral. And I believe we must stop banalizing the truth," she said while being honored for her dedication to press freedom.

Mixed feelings about this. You can easily imagine a scenario where there's so much "community" left in place that the redevelopment doesn't work. Possible outcome: nobody benefits.

Our days seem to pass by with not much different happening.
Today, about noon, we had a dog that was not feeling well. She was trying to cough. Of course, someone wanted to call the vet immediately. (They close at 1:00 on Saturdays.) I coaxed Jill outside where she tried to eat a lot of grass. It didn't look like she was getting much but after about half an hour of grazing, there were some results - twice.
After this she was calm and no more attempts to "cough." She wanted inside to get water. I brought it outside and she finally just lay down on the porch and has seemed fine since then.
I have talked someone into letting me feed the dogs and I have requested no more potato chips or French fries as treats for them.
Sometimes it takes a lot of talking and a harsh tone.

Health Care IT Legislation Under Consideration
The House Energy and Commerce Health Subcommittee on Thursday will mark up a bill (HR 4157) that would promote the use of health care information technology and establish national standards on privacy and implementation of electronic health records, CQ Today reports (Schuler, CQ Today, 6/7). The legislation, sponsored by subcommittee Chair Nancy Johnson (R-Conn.) and Rep. Nathan Deal (R-Ga.), would codify the Office of the National Coordinator for Health Information Technology within HHS and would establish a committee to make recommendations on national standards for medical data storage and develop a permanent structure to govern national interoperability standards.
The bill also would clarify that current medical privacy laws apply to data stored or transmitted electronically and would require the HHS secretary to recommend to Congress a privacy standard to reconcile differences in federal and state laws. Under the bill, the number of billing codes health care providers use to file insurance claims would increase from 24,000 to more than 200,000 by Oct. 1, 2009.
The House Ways and Means Subcommittee on Health approved legislation in May (California Healthline, 5/25).
According to an Energy and Commerce Committee spokesperson, Deal plans to offer a substitute manager's amendment to the bill during the markup, CongressDaily reports (Heil, CongressDaily 6/7). The Senate in November 2005 adopted a similar bill (S 1418) that would authorize grants to providers that store and distribute health information electronically.
The House bill would not authorize such funding (CQ Today, 6/7). Democrats say that the House bill does not include strong enough privacy protections and has too broad an exemption in anti-kickback laws, CongressDaily reports.
According to CongressDaily, the health IT bill is slated for a House vote during a "Health Week," beginning June 19. The House also might consider legislation (HR 2355) by Rep. John Shadegg (R-Ariz.) that would allow health insurers to offer plans across state lines. The bill was approved by the Energy and Commerce Committee in July 2005. Other bills that could be considered address graduate medical education and the reauthorization the federal community health center program, the Ryan White CARE Act and the CDC foundation (CongressDaily, 6/7).
In related news, former National Coordinator for Health Information Technology David Brailer on Wednesday predicted that Congress will pass the bill and that President Bush will sign legislation this year aimed at speeding the adoption of health IT, CQ HealthBeat reports. At a conference sponsored by the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society in Washington, Brailer said that once the first set of common health IT standards are set by the Health Information Standards Board in September, government officials will "rapidly take those up into the internal systems, into the contracting, into the benefits purchasing of federal agencies."
He said, "The federal government has to be the first in line to be able to do this. And this means that agencies have to be able to look at their contracts, how it is that they procure services from health plans, from doctors, from hospitals, from other suppliers." Brailer suggested that if the government does not immediately put the common standards to use in its purchasing, adoption of the standards could take five to seven years, instead of one or two.
CMS Administrator Mark McClellan also addressed the conference, highlighting several federal pilot projects to promote quality-based payment and the use of health care IT, CQ HealthBeat reports. The pilots include efforts to increase doctors' use of handheld prescribing devices, grants to encourage the formation of regional networks to transmit electronic health care data and a plan to develop electronic health records for Medicare beneficiaries (Reichard, CQ HealthBeat, 6/7).

Social media can be both a blessing and a curse. It allows businesses to promote their brands, engage with customers and identify potential new hires. But since it is a public forum, much of what occurs there is outside your control. This is especially true for staffing firms dealing with unhappy candidates. It only takes a few minutes for a single person to trash your reputation by turning to Twitter, Facebook or Yelp rather than addressing their concerns with you directly.
So, how can you diffuse the situation and regain control of your brand?
Don't delete the comment. Even if you are able to, people will notice and think you have something to hide. Leave the comment unless it is threatening or profane.
Acknowledge their pain. If you choose to respond to the comment, briefly address their disappointment and then immediately offer to take the conversation offline. The last thing you want to do is get into an online argument with someone who has nothing but time and resentment on their hands. However, by responding quickly to the comment online, other visitors to the site can see that you are at least attempting to address it.
Avoid future occurrences. Disgruntled candidates may have come into your office with unrealistic expectations. It's important to reset those expectations in your first meeting. Don't say that you'll call if you won't. Don't offer false hope if you don't typically come across positions that fit their skills.
Follow up with each candidate. Unhappy candidates are often created by unprofessional staffing agencies. Stay in touch with candidates to update them on their job prospects, let them know what an employer thought, or make suggestions that could make them more marketable. Taking a little extra time can pay dividends in goodwill.
Establish a protocol. If you don't have one, draft a policy that ensures you deal with each candidate consistently and fairly. Share your policy with the candidates you work with so that they will know what to expect in terms of communication and results.

I wanted to get back into making Youtube videos and I figured creating an "about me" video would be an awesome idea to get to know me better. I have a 4-year-old video on my channel that is similar but it doesn't reflect me now. To make it more relevant I went on a hunt to find questions which are specifically for artist. Interested in doing your own "about me"? Download my About Me Tag Questions pdf.
What is your preferred medium to create with?
I prefer to use acrylic paint when painting and polymer clay when sculpting. I was initially drawn to acrylic paint because of its fast dry time and my impatience. I'd love to experiment with oil in the future. I have oil paint I purchased but never got around to using.
I prefer polymer clay to sculpt with because of how quickly it hardens. Most pieces you put in the oven for 10-20 minutes depending on the brand and thickness. Granted, occasionally I have to put my creations in the oven more than once when using layers. Also, depending on the brand it hardens beautifully.
When did you first begin creating art?
I loved creating art since 3-4 years old. My mom used to draw a lot, and I admired how well she drew. In elementary I used draw "portraits" of people for 50 cents to a dollar. I didn't really get back into art until I moved into my own place at 18. I had more free time and purchased a cheap acrylic paint set from Walmart.
I started sculpting with clay in mid 2018. I had the urge to create with my hands… to sculpt. I spent a lot of time watching videos on Youtube and knew that sculpting was something I wanted to try. I purchased my first blocks of clay from Hobby Lobby and have since been hooked.
Does your art have a theme?
In terms of painting I mostly create boho themed, sexuality inspired, and the occasional horror inspired piece.
My custom sculpted items are usually fantasy inspired. There are only so many functional designs you can use on brushes and holders though.
Did you go to school for your craft?
Yes. I'm a freelance website designer and organic internet marketer. I do work for startups, old school brands that need help to modernize their online presence, and white label work for bigger agencies that need outside help to keep up with their demand.
What inspires you?
I'm inspired a lot by my emotions and my findings when exploring my spirituality. If I have strong feelings about something I like to express it through my hands and it gives me a "release". Lol. Like this emotional release of happiness. I also love reading about people's theories and philosophies and if something resonates with me I'll create something to help me have a better understand the concept.
What do you hope to accomplish with your art?
I just want to make things people love and can resonate with. I want something I poured myself into to be in the hands of various people all over the world who will appreciate it.
What's your most favorite piece created to date?
This is one of my favorite paintings because it's the first mixed media painting I did. I saw someone in a Facebook group post a painting they made with sugar and glitter. That's when I learned about mixed media art and fell in love with art style. Most of my paintings are a form of mixed media but this one is my favorite.
Who is one of your favorite artist right now?
I recently found this really awesome page on Instagram and the guy does amazing work with sculpting. It's horror themed and so detailed. He has really amazing work and skills. His instagram page is: MorgansMutations.
What's your favorite art brand?
Currently, I don't think I have one. I am currently living in Mexico and the art supply store nearby has mostly Chinese brand paints. I have experimented with those and the colors aren't consistent. Otherwise, Master's Touch seems to be a common brand I use.
In terms of clay, I love Sculpey. Granted, I used a lot of white clay and have only tried Keto clay which I found better for miniatures rather than paintbrushes and holders.
Do you have a "regular" job outside of creating?
How do you know an art piece you're working on is done?
Hmmm. I lose interest indefinitely. There are pieces that I let sit for weeks or month and get back to but there are others I don't want to add anything else to. This is when I consider that piece finished.
No, but I tend to read a lot as I find myself being interested in different aspects of art and creating things.
What is one thing you knew when you started taking your art more serious?
People will pretend to be interested in your art to mack you down. Mack you down= hit on you, try to bang you, get nudes, date you.
Websites that helped me come up with some of these questions:

The ideal pyramid commerce might be one with a relatively small margin requirement and with a dollar amount revenue potential that is a minimum of three times the margin requirement for the commodity. The Banking Act (24:01), which got here into effect in September 1999, was the culmination of the RBZ's desire to liberalise and deregulate the financial services.
Due to the brief term maturity profile of the deposit base, banks are normally not in a position to invest significant portions of their funds in long run belongings and thus had been extremely liquid as much as mid-2003. You should be buying stocks which have superior monetary and technical performance not shares which have model names you like.
The prices of stocks are decided by numerous components. Some started to trade in the parallel overseas foreign money market, at instances colluding with the RBZ. They argue that it isn't unusual for banks to take fairness positions in non-banking institutions they've loaned cash to safeguard their investments.
Existing international banks weren't required to shed part of their shareholding although Barclay's Financial institution did, through listing on the native stock trade. Though your financial thermostat was set in childhood by others, the good news is that it is YOUR thermostat now and you'll reset it for any level of prosperity you want.
This entails being conscious of what the analysis "tools" (described in my full Commodity FUTURES Trading Course) are telling you concerning the present state of the market. Another impact of the agrarian reform programme was that the majority farmers who had borrowed money from banks could not service the loans yet the federal government, which took over their businesses, refused to assume accountability for the loans.

As a result, people are constantly getting more and more dependent on technologies as it speeds up procedures and makes accomplishing tasks easier.Big Data AnalyticsPredictive Customer Analytics Deliver personalized customer experience by understanding the user completely such as the user's opinions, attitudes, user relationship history, transactional behaviors and investment preferences to build loyalty and improve service. For example, a user has recently shown interest in planning for his life with saving plans and fixed deposits, look up investment opportunities online and mention in a survey that he have interest in cryptocurrencies. These actions would trigger a personalized email consisting of recommended savings plans/fixed deposits or suitable cryptocurrency investments such as Bitcoin that will be sent to user.Text AnalyticsAlso known as text mining, is the process of extracting information from unstructured text data and using it to gain meaningful data for analysis, gather user feedback and measure user opinions. It is to be implemented within the app in places such as support chatbot, quiz and feedback to get insights and information from recorded interactions from the users that can be turned into text to uncover patterns and reveal what users are thinking and their wants and needs. Additionally, text analytics also provides early warnings by showing user complains.Support ChatbotChatbots are computer programs designed to replicate or simulate how human conversation is conducted by engaging users in real-time support experience. All in all, this would help users to get the help they need at any point of time. This technology implemented will not leave the user hanging waiting for a response for an enquiry or service after office hours. For example, a user has sufficient reward points in Finaza app but is unable to redeem a reward successfully on friday night. With the support Chatbot, the user doesn't need to wait till monday to get help.

Introduction: How to Make a Bacon Lamp
This is my first Instructable, so bear with me. This 'ible shows how to turn a few waste products-a tuna can and bacon grease-into a useful mini bacon lamp!
Step 1: Materials
-Tuna Can (empty)
-the lid (optional)
-Cotton rope
-a pen (or something similar)
-bacon grease/fat
Step 2: Preparing the Bacon Grease
So I saved up my bacon grease in an old pasta jar. I put it in the refrigerator so that the grease would solidify into a white-ish solid. In order to make this lamp, i had to melt the solid grease.
Fill a small pot with water and placed the jar of grease in the water. Turn on the heat and watch the grease melt.
Caution: Do not place the glass jar directly on the stove-top. The glass will shatter. See the third image.
Step 3: Preparing the Wick
Take the cotton string and cut a length that is at least 2x taller than the tuna can.
Tie the string to the pen.
Caution: Do not use acrylic or synthetic fibers. When burned, they release toxic fumes. Stick to cotton cordage.
Step 4: Pouring the Grease and Setting the Wick
Now that the grease is in a liquid state, remove it from the pot using an oven mitt. Carefully pour the grease into the tuna can.
Take your wick/pen combo and place it on top of the tuna can, roughly in the center. If you want, you can tape the wrapped up cordage on the pen to keep it from moving.
Step 5: Let It Solidify
Now that the wick is set, place it in a cool spot. I chose to put it into the freezer so that it would solidify faster. (sorry for the bad quality picture)
Step 6: Light It Up!
When the grease is solid, light it up and bask in the glorious bacon light!
Also, if you have a can opener that opens the side (see picture), you can use the lid to close off the top to make it portable.
Disregard the writing on the can of the lid, courtesy of my roommate.

This is an interesting idea. Would it work better in some kind of home-made oil lamp? What about mixing some old candle wax with the bacon fat? There are lots of white, neutral/non scented candles made for many occasions, such as weddings.
Anything that involves bacon is an instant hit with me.
I agree... then we added metal and fire! Awesome!
Great work. I have been saving bacon fat int the freezer for a while now and think I have grease from somewhere around 6-8 pounds of bacon in there. I need to strain my grease through something though to make it cleaner. Plus when this candle is not in use should it be placed in the fridge or freezer so the grease does not go rancid?
To avoid having the wick drown use a posicle stick piece(1") or light wood. Drill a hole for the wick. Leave twice the wick lenght under the stick. If the stick sink use a larger one or less wick under. Depending of size of lampyou can add more wicks.
Isn't bacon fat smelly??
Great idea! I think we should make initiatives to collect animal fat from every household! so much fuel could be made !!! :D
I have a question. what happens when all the lard melts? the wick drowns or what?
I noticed this too. I'm currently trying to work out a solution for this. If you have some extra tea lights, you can just use the wick from that. They usually come with an attached base. Thanks for the comment!
Maybe you can use a wick stand like they do for olive oil lamps? There was another page somewhere where a guy cast a type of wick stand for a lard lamp from pewter. I mean once the lard hardens the stand should just sit in it and stay as the lard melts. Just a thought.
Wow this is so great XD but won't it smell up the entire house? Maybe this would be a great thing to light up in the morning to wake up sleepy teenagers ;p
Cool instructable!
What a great Idea.Im going to try it!
Great instructable - but don't forget to use it for other things - light the candle whenever you need a touch of bacon flavor for a salad, popcorn, etc. Burn it long enough to have a little to pour on the food - instant bacon flavor! :) (and keep it stored in the fridge, bacon grease goes rancid after a while).
Oh yeah! That looks awesome. Great use for all those bacon drippings. Lots of good tips, too.

Geometric abstraction
MFA Project
Valda was primarily interested in traditional realist art. However, she had respect for abstract art and knew quite a few of the leading abstract artists of the day from her time at the Art Students League in New York City.
In the mid-1960s, Valda became interested in the possibilities of acrylic paint, especially the bold colors that were coming onto the market. They seemed to capture the joyful aspects of the counterculture movement that was emerging at that time. This led to a series of works that combine hard-edge geometric patterns and Op Art principles.
"Emerging from a long period of suburban living to a wholly changed world, and teaching art in the New York schools brought a realization that I wanted to do another type of art."

The Show Everyone Wanted to See
There are two points that need to be made here.
One, I think this proves that Roger Waters is one of the great frontmen in Rock and Roll history. He's been on the road, he's gone out and played for the fans, and he has never half-assed anything in his long and storied career. If you want a template for how to do things, you could do a lot worse than Roger Waters, creatively or otherwise.
Two, the music business is in serious trouble. Serious trouble. If the top grossing concert tour is based on touring behind an album released 33 years ago featuring exactly one original member from the band that recorded it, then what will actually sustain the music business past the moment when Waters and everyone from his music generation decides to hang it up and move on to retirement?
The answer is, nothing. There isn't anything like The Wall being made right now (there are three new Green Day albums coming out soon; I hope they're good) and that means there won't be a top-grossing farewell tour for it thirty years from now.
That's not the fault of Roger Waters and it's not the fault of anyone making music today. His show, as presented, was what the fans wanted to pay to see. No one cares what some kid is going to do in comparison to Waters, unless that kid is Justin Bieber and, quite frankly, what is the artistic value of bubblegum kiddie pop.
What sustained the recording, promotion, and exposure that brought The Wall to the masses is gone. No one will be paying for, supporting, or taking a risk on anything like it again.
The music business is, essentially, marking time.

In-Home Dog Training Phoenix
In-Home Dog Training Phoenix
Customized training for dogs and their owners!
At Valley of the Sun Dog Training, we take pride in our in-home training approach. Through our experiences with many happy clients, we have found that in-home training secures lifelong success, while also enhancing the relationship between dogs and their owners.
What Makes In-Home Dog Training So Great?
First off, there's the convenience of it! Rather than taking your dog to an unfamiliar place that might be teeming with distractions or discomfort for your dog, we come to you! By working in your home, your dog can begin their behavior transition in comfort, and as owner, you can control the amount of distractions present during different stages of training. We always aim to set the dog up for success, so rather than throw a bunch of triggers into your dog's first lesson, we try to eliminate them initially so that your dog has a better shot at focusing and progressing. Once your dog understands the basics of the training and becomes more acclimated to the structure, then we gradually reintroduce those distractions and triggers, so we know your dog is equipped to behave in ANY type of environment!
Another great thing about in-home dog training is the setup allows us all to work as a team. Owners aren't sent out of the room during training, or only asked to observe…this is entirely hands-on and it is about owners learning the training themselves. We train dogs, but we also teach their people to maintain the training and find the inner leader within them, both demonstrating and instilling confidence and consistency! This is one of the biggest factors to our clients' success…because they too have mastered the handling and communication with their dogs!
In-Home Dog Training Costs A Ton, Right?
Actually, the way Valley of the Sun Dog Training charges is not by lesson or by any timely increment. Rather, it only by the job, which means that we will not stop until the job is complete! We charge a flat fee that covers all the training it needs to reach your training goals and to achieve the positive behavioral changes for your dog! This helps us focus on the dog, and at the same time, we are not draining your bank account. Every dog is different and works at their own pace, and we at Valley of the Sun Dog Training wish to respect that. If your dog needs extra lessons, we will still be there for you and your dog, with no additional charges tacked on!
Really? Even If My Dog Is The Worst, You Won't Give Up?
Really! We have worked with some of the most severe behavior issues, and yet have still found ways to bring success to these dogs and restore harmony in their households! Our Phoenix dog trainer offers in-home training in the following categories: basic obedience training, behavior modification, aggressive dog training and rehabilitation, and also a new expecting parents training program. The philosophy our trainer follows is entirely reward-based and also commitment-based, the latter meaning we commit to committed dog owners who are ready to guide their dog to behavioral change! Training is over when your dog's issues are over!
If you're interested in our in-home training and want to learn more about the different training programs we offer, look through our training pages and also contact us at 520.519.7979, or write us using our contact form.

Your university's future inventors and CEOs are right under your nose…
It's a discovery more and more tech transfer offices are making. For a growing number of TTOs, students are becoming not only a critical source of assistance in licensing and start-up efforts, but are developing new technologies, creating venture funds, commercializing once-dormant IP, and leading new spinoffs out of the starting gate.
Those who are successfully tapping into this wellspring of talent and energy have identified and met the single most important challenge: ENGAGEMENT. Each success story in building an active and meaningful student contribution to university innovation and commercialization begins there, with a host of strategies including:
- effective use of and integration with university resources, including business schools, marketing and engineering departments, medical schools, incubators, labs
- high-profile engagement opportunities: clubs, business plan competitions, student inventor contests
- meaningful internship programs: in the TTO, in the business community
- opportunities for real-world entrepreneurship: assessing and developing university IP
- curriculum development in entrepreneurship
- effective marketing to build and maintain student interest and involvement
Learn from the Leaders in Student-led Innovation and Entrepreneurship
Technology Transfer Tactics' Distance Learning Division has secured two top experts – from MIT and the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign – to guide you with proven strategies and tactics for engaging the student population and creating multi-faceted environments and resources that support student-led innovation and entrepreneurship.
Listen to this how-to distance learning program that's sure to enhance your efforts to more effectively tap into your student body's talent, creativity, and "innovation energy":
Get Your Student Body on the Innovation Team
Your world-class faculty will break the program down into three key areas: People, Opportunity and Resources — and why no student innovation program will succeed without them:
- Identifying student interests and trends
- Targeting student leaders, student innovators, and student entrepreneurs (the alpha wolves)
- Effectively utilizing resources to gain exposure and outside support
- Alumni
- VC groups
- Business, engineering, and marketing programs
- Mentors
- Industry
- Creating a pipeline that consistently reels students in – and keeps them engaged
- Using social media to reach the student population: breaking through the noise
- Reaching students along the continuum of the innovation process:
- Clubs
- Classes
- Competitions
- Successfully partnering with businesses, investors
- Connect opportunities with school, alumni, and community support structures
PLUS: We'll review a case study student venture stemming from a student competition that is still in successful operation today!
Meet your faculty:
Rhiannon Clifton is the assistant director of the Technology Entrepreneur Center, College of Engineering at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. She joined the TEC's staff in 2005, and is responsible for the development and implementation of programs, policies, procedures and objectives of the Center and its role in promoting technology entrepreneurship through courses, lectures, new venture activities, alumni networking, and other events and experiences for students and faculty within the College of Engineering and across the Illinois campus. Rhiannon directs all aspects of the external relations efforts of the Center, including activities relating to communications with media at the local, state, and national levels; funding entities; strategic partners; alumni; and the University community. Rhiannon also leads curriculum development for the Center, and is an instructor for the TEC's Marketing High-Tech Ventures course. Additionally, Rhiannon recently joined the College of Media's advertising department as an instructor for their Audience Analysis course.
Joshua Schuler is executive director of the Lemelson-MIT Program, a non-profit organization within MIT's School of Engineering. In that position he focuses on advancing strategic goals that support the program's mission to recognize outstanding inventors, encourage sustainable new solutions to real-world problems, and enable and inspire young people to pursue creative lives and careers through invention. He has been responsible for managing the daily operations of this educational initiative since he began this position in July 2007. From August 2003 to July 2007, Schuler held the post of InvenTeams grants officer, a supervisory position for the Lemelson-MIT Program's national initiative to inspire a new generation of inventors by awarding high school teams grants of up to $10,000 each to develop an invention that solves a problem they have identified. Through Schuler's vision, leadership and entrepreneurial spirit, InvenTeams evolved from a pilot that served three New England teams to a prototype for hands-on problem solving that funded grants for as many as 20 schools from Alaska to New Mexico to Florida. Schuler also established continuation grants as a means for former grantees to sustain inventive communities through the experiential learning of InvenTeams. Prior to joining the Lemelson-MIT Program, Schuler was a consultant for Axxon Biopharm, Inc., and with the Renault-Nissan Alliance for Renault.

Is it permissible by eBay Policy for a Top Rated Plus Seller "HubcapJoes" to perform stalking & bullying of critics for his handlers at eBay Inc?
HubcapJoes has passed a critics voting records around with his eBay insider connections. If that was not bad enough one of his team members is threatening to harass a critics church body and parishioners. That is a really low blow!
This eBay seller operates an offshore cyberstalking website called chuckfitchscammer.com (be leery of going there unless by proxy server.) It's hosted by Blue Angel Host in Moscow RU. Nobody in the USA will touch it because of it's immoral / illegal cyberstalking content.
Lets face it. eBay Inc hates critics, and it's my personal opinion that they will do anything in there power to squash them like a bug. All they need is a seller like HubcapJoes who is willing to take part in a clandestine operation like this.
eBayMotorsSucks.com is a public service website that has been in operation since 2004. It's objective is to advise and educate the public how to avoid internet car scams and bad seller misrepresentation. It is published and administered solely by Ed Koon, who does not run ads or accept support or contributions from anyone.

You will also see DeMarcos domain admin and other contact info "Jailbird Fitch" (email@example.com) on various YouTube videos produced by his alleged team members. One example is below.
This offshore website is part of a social media smear campaign that ran blogger and eBay critic eBayisaJoke off YouTube and trashed his personal reputation worldwide. Guy Fawkes mask symbolizes protest which is what eBayisaJoke was doing on YouTube. It was never proven he bid on items and did not pay, or left negative feedback for successful eBay sellers.
The fact is HubcapJoes manipulated Rob Wolchek and other media into believing Fitch had damaged him. This is nothing but a reputation management smear campaign that wreaks of eBay Inc involvement. Fitch filed suit (14-009956-NZ), but it was thrown out of court. Did someone at Fox News pay off the judge??
Weebly.com is frequently used by these thugs to create cyberbullying websites to harass eBay critics. Weebly will not remove these pages from their site. Note the wording on the cfs website screenshot below "please visit our partner site weebly.com" partner site? Is weebly.com part of this smear campaign too?
Below is a screenshot of a cyberstalking page about Doc on Joseph Demarco's chuckfitchscammer.com website in Moscow RU.
The photos in the above screen shot were stolen. Possibly from a social network, though i do not recall uploading or sharing them with anyone. Team eBay might have even hacked into my home PC. One of HubcapJoes team members is a young hacker kid. YouTuber "mattzolo" who built the chuckfitchscammer.com website.
This video was retaliation for my uncovering chuckfitchscammer.com domain privacy that had expired. What you see above with Joe DeMarco as admin. Both of these videos are on the rhinoplasty man YouTube channel.
CrazeeNyDriver AKA HubcapJoes has been an eBay critic since 2006 that i know of. He was always careful to conceal his selling id when producing some really negative eBay critic videos on YouTube.
Enter vlogger eBayisaJoke who repeatedly asked CrazeeNyDriver what his selling id was and also what he sold on eBay? CrazeeNyDriver dodged the question. Soon thereafter one of CrazeeNyDriver's followers gave up his eBay ID.
Now that the cat was out of the bag CrazeeNyDriver was in a world of hurt and started producing positive toned videos promoting eBay and PayPal. eBay must have this seller by the balls because of his YouTube antics.
From that moment on a feud that would make the Hatfield s and McCoy's jealous began between Hubcap Joe (crazeenydriver) and another eBay critic known as eBayisaJoke on YouTube. CrazeeNyDriver turned pro-eBay and started doing YouTube videos to support the eBay corporation and PayPal. And for the past three years the crap has been hitting the fan.
One of his team members even threatened to cyberstalk a critics church body.
YouTuber beast of burden did contact Doc's church and produced this video and published it to YouTube just after the above comment was entered on another bullying video. YouTube allows stalking and bullying on their platform. YouTube will not pull bullying videos for apparent violations. Civil rights violation?

Do you keep someone awake at night with your snoring? Are you experiencing fatigue, sleeplessness, and even breathlessness? These could be warning signs that abnormal breathing is not taking place during sleep. Of course, lack of sleep affects those around us due to the loud noise snorers make and loved ones endure.
There are many dental and medical conditions that lead to snoring, including being overweight, having a small retruded jaw, using sedatives, allergies, consuming alcohol before retiring, or having airway obstruction such conditions as enlarged tonsils or adenoids. However, studies show that many times snoring can be a serious disorder called sleep apnea.
Sleep apnea is a condition in which your breathing stops periodically during sleep, as many as 20 to 30 times per hour. Each time you stop breathing in your sleep, the resulting lack of oxygen alerts your brain, which temporarily wakes you up to restart proper breathing. Since the time spent awake is so brief, most people with sleep apnea don't remember it, and many believe they are getting a good night's sleep when, in fact, they are not. The constant wake-sleep, wake-sleep cycle prevents those with sleep apnea from achieving deep sleep, resulting in a constant drowsy feeling during the day.

Demonstrating a normal curve with foam plastic pieces
At 8:00 I tossed 409 plastic pieces on the floor, and 9:00 only 351 pieces. Both distributed reasonably normally, although of late I have become concerned that the data is only normally distributed in a radial or circular sense, two-dimensionally, and that the collapsing of the counts to a single dimension leads to a leptokurtic distribution.
The distributions are heap-like and demonstrate some of the basic features of a normal distribution - a central peak, two tails, roughly symmetric.
The add-on produces a normal quantile plot for frequency, confirming that the distributions are not normal. I suspected that the plots ought to be leptokurtic and that does appear to be supported by a QQ plot for the frequency data.
8:00 section
9:00 section
The beads do not spread sufficiently into the tails to be a true normal distribution. As a way to introduce the normal distribution visually in the classroom, the beads suffice. A Galton board might be better, but I want the normal distribution to arise whole cloth from randomness of physical objects. The Galton board could be conceived by the students to be a special case. Plastic pieces tossed in the air really seems like a random activity.

An Admirable Attempt: Theodore Dalrymple's Admirable Evasions
I recently finished Theodore Dalrymple's wonderful polemic, Admirable Evasions: How Psychology Undermines Morality. I characterize it as a polemic, not a book or study, because in my opinion it is neither long enough to qualify as a book (even if it has been published as one), nor scientific (or boring) enough to count as a study. Indeed, the only times the polemic touches the scientific are when Dalrymple attempts to show either its meaninglessness or, slightly worse, its disastrous consequences. In all honesty — and I'm not sure how Dalrymple would feel about this categorization, given his multiple references to Samuel Johnson — the piece reads more like the sort of pamphlet one would see at the high time of pamphleteering: the 18th century. So, I'll just call it an essay.
Two things arose in my mind as I read the essay over the course of two days and multiple cups of coffee. The first was how books, or "books," are written these days — their character, if you will. The second, which was of much greater importance, was the question of how Mr. Dalrymple intends to get his point across on a much larger scale.
I will address the much easier and more obvious point first. To say that books published these days have become — or at least attempt to portray themselves as — more scientific would be a gross understatement. From self-help to history, authors wish to make their word the last one by inserting some type of scientific jargon wherever they can. With "self-help," the temptation is unusually strong, because, as Dalrymple hints, it is just a branch of psychology.
History might be less overtly scientific, but it nonetheless still attempts to be scientific. I would argue that the phrases "historians agree" or "there's a consensus among historians" are akin to "studies have proven." They don't explicitly refer to science per se, but they invoke a quasi-scientific or scholarly authority on behalf of the position that the author is taking.
As an amateur but passionate lover of history, I can say with confidence that there is hardly consensus about any part of history beyond simple, trivial facts about dates — and even these are hotly contested in some cases. But, as Dalrymple rightly points out, this need to seem authoritative is the epitome of psychological writing. And it doesn't take a psychologist to understand that if everyone is saying "studies have proven" while pushing different and sometimes opposing theses, then the phrase has become all but meaningless. In a way similar to how the meaning of "morality" has been said to have been defined out of existence, we have flaunted "studies" out of existence.
As mentioned earlier, Dalrymple doesn't use scientific research to back up his position that psychology is destroying our sense of moral responsibility. Rather, he humbly asks us to just look around. His characterization of our modern society is spot on when he says that we've changed our motto from "I think, therefore I am" to "He suffers, therefore he is a victim." But what is interesting is not that Dalrymple comes up with study after study to support his claims, but rather that he uses the rather "low" technique of polemic. He simply uses rhetoric to make his point. He sets no authority upon his argument other than the brief biographical sketch you may or may not choose to read in the dust jacket. (He is a professional in the field with an exceptional amount of experience). I hope this doesn't take away from Dalrymple or his vast intelligence and masterful use of language, but rather allows his work to convey a breath of fresh air amidst a maelstrom of academic-style papers, jargon-riddled rants that make close to no sense, and shallow books about how you can "help" yourself.
The topic of rhetoric deserves more attention than I have given it here. All I can say is that after a while, standing in the exhaust-filled garage of professionalization gets old and boring (if it hasn't already killed you), and one needs to sit in a field of flowers. Even if that field is not metaphysically or scientifically proven.
My second point is much more difficult. It is less of a praise of Mr. Dalrymple and more of a provocation.
One might agree with Mr. Dalrymple that psychology is undermining morality, but all that is left after putting the essay down is empty agreement. There is hardly a plan to combat the rampant spreading of the attitude that psychology is the ultimate science — that it is the end to knowledge, and all we need to figure out. I'm not asking for the author to write an essay entitled "10 Ways to Win an Argument With a Psychologist" or "30 Steps to Undermining Psychology," but a mere intimation of what might be done, in light of the unhappy situation in which we find ourselves, is the only feeling left with the reader. I guess this is why some of Mr. Dalrymple's more dedicated readers have labeled him as pessimistic. Dalrymple's brand of pessimism is not a story that ends in optimism. It just ends.
This is not, however, a part of my critique of the essay. The work stands alone in its condemnation of psychology, and I can see how the essay might convince more people that prudence is required when wading into the waters of psychology. It is a great tragedy that some of the best ideas are ideas that aim only to question our mad dash for more progress in this or that field — to offer prudence in a world where progress seems to be the only virtue. Prudence is neither flashy nor interesting; it is the great restrainer of "more." Dalrymple's work will mostly likely serve as a retroactive prophecy when we say of it in fifty years, "well, someone did warn us about this." But even if Dalrymple chooses not to tackle it, the question stands: What can be done about the situation? Is this a problem at the educational level? The professional level? The answer — to echo the author's pessimism — is that it might indeed be every level.
But this is not a call for apathetic inaction, rather an attempt to — in Kirk's words — brighten your corner of the world. I am afraid I share Mr. Dalrymple's implicit cynicism that there may not be much we can do on a grand scale. But hardly ever are things done on a grand scale. They are done in the trenches, in the day to day conversations we have with other people. And it is obvious where exactly the root of the problem lies: with all of us.
It is we who get fed some study that doesn't prove much of anything and proceed to write about it on the popular journalism website of the day, thus feeding it to others. This twisted handing down of "information" is the problem, this convincing of young minds that psychology really has found some things out. In a world where certain subjects dance in dissent and lack consensus, psychology wishes to fill the gaps of certainty. It boldly claims that "we all agree, and you can too," and young minds flock to it. For they have found something they can not only use, but can use knowing for certain that they are Right. The problem lies in the flourishing of those who without the rigor of science flaunt the prestige and sureness of something that they neither know nothing about, nor realize the potential consequences thereof.
G.K. Chesterton once said that no one should destroy a thing unless they understand why it is useful. I would argue that the same holds true in the opposite. Those who do not understand how a new, flashy thing will affect the useful things with which it intersects should be slow to swan dive into the excitement of novelty.
Like the author, I too urge the reader to simply look around. How often does one engage in conversations that are riddled with phrases like 'studies show' or 'science has proven?" How often does this come across as the last word on the subject, at least until the unlucky conversant can go home and do some PubMed research of his own? I imagine the answer is quite often.
It is on these grounds, I believe, that Dalrymple wishes to combat the ever-encroaching influence of psychology. It is not in policy matters, but personal matters, that this becomes a sort of call to action. For piecemeal changes and the questioning of things previously unquestioned is how grand changes come about. I will call the author's pessimism and raise him a tiny dose of optimism. There are some out there who read about certain sad states of the world, but who don't find in this sadness a reason to quit so much as to converse. To keep the conversation going, and to not let anything be taken for granted. It is when things are taken for granted — as psychology almost has — that things become granite and life becomes a whole lot less interesting to live.
I agree with the Harvard psychologist Paul Bloom when he says that psychology is in its pre-Copernican state. It would be wise if our culture and educational system admitted this, and stopped fooling ourselves about how far we've advanced in understanding ourselves.

37 Days in Europe
I fell in love with Europe at an early age, my aunt took me along on her travels when I was fifteen, and again at age seventeen. I got to experience a taste of twenty cities across thirteen European countries before I had even graduated high school. I am forever grateful for those travel experiences, they played a big role in shaping who I am and the way I see the world. Ever since those trips, I was thirsty for more travel, which I have been able to do several times since then, both within the United States, Canada, and Europe. My first time revisiting Europe after age seventeen was when I went to Istanbul, Turkey for business (and pleasure) when I worked in the design industry with my aunt; the second time was to The Netherlands and France for leisure. I always found myself longing to spend more time in Europe(I'm sure that's not too unusual), and so it was always my plan to go on a longer adventure at some point in the future.
After graduating college last year, I decided the time had come to pack my bags and roam another continent for a while. At first, my plans were beyond ambitious, I had way too many countries and cities on my to see and do list. After a lot of overwhelmed planning, a bit of a nervous breakdown, and a much needed reality check from my mother and aunts, I was able to narrow down my itinerary to a realistic goal. It all panned out to fourteen cities throughout five countries in 37 days:
After graduating college last year, I decided the time had come to pack my bags and roam another continent for a while. At first, my plans were beyond ambitious, I had way too many countries and cities on my to see and do list. After a lot of overwhelmed planning, a bit of a nervous breakdown, and a much needed reality check from my mother and aunts, I was able to narrow down my itinerary to a realistic goal. It all panned out to fourteen cities throughout five countries in 37 days:
Amsterdam, The Netherlands:
Ghent, Belgium:
Brugge, Belgium
Brussels, Belgium
Paris, France
Saint Jean De Luz, France
San Sebastian, Spain
Madrid, Spain
Barcelona, Spain
Marseille, France
Monte Carlo, Monaco
Venice, Italy
Florence, Italy
Rome, Italy
That still sounds and looks a little crazy huh? Believe me, it was crazy and exhilarating! My brother joined me on this trip, and our mother and aunt met us in Madrid, Spain for the last leg of the journey. I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it, we saw and did so much, it was an unforgettable experience for all of us. We traveled by train from one city to the next, and that in itself was quite an experience, to say the least. Traveling by train can be hectic, but the views really make it all worth it. I learned a lot from my experiences on this trip, I learned more about myself and what I want in life, and more about the family members who I shared the time with, and especially more about the world and the people in it. There are so many differences, yet so many similarities among people across societies and cultures. I always enjoy experiencing those differences, I try to savor them, the good and bad. That's what life is all about, soaking up the details!
We flew out of Fort Lauderdale, Florida on a Norwegian airlines 787 Dreamliner jumbo jet and it was, as Larry David would say, prettttty pretttty prettty pretty good! Although, the seats will never truly be comfortable until they fully recline. Oh wait, that happens in first class! Anyway, I brought one of those twisty neck pillows, so it all worked out. Other than that, it was a really nice flying experience… Very cheap compared to all other airlines, brand spankin' new plane, larger bathrooms, very clean, nice window tinting/shade option, super high ceiling, interesting kaleidoscope of changing colors on the isle ceiling, and of course, everyone gets a little flat screen monitor with free movies, tv shows, music, and games! A little USB plug next to the headphone jack to charge your electronic device. Very nice indeed. Now can we please get reclining seats too? :)
This 787 Dreamliner is a beast, when you stand in the aisle it looks like it goes on forever! The best part of this type of plane is that it can fly longer distances, yet it boasts 20 percent lower fuel consumption per passenger compared to similar sized aircraft, it's also a step towards a future of more environmentally friendly aircraft, with : 25-30 percent reduction in NOx-gasses. I read an article about this young company that mentions its affordable prices are due mainly in part to its fleet of new gas-efficient aircraft, making it steep competition and the rival of all other airlines. I say rightly so! It's a crime what the airlines are charging us to fly, so I support this new move in making flying more affordable. Food and snack options were still very expensive, although made very convenient through onscreen ordering and built-in credit swipe, ha! We did not eat any meals on the plane ride there, only on the return flight at the end of the trip. I can say that both the dinner and breakfast served were really good, and I have high culinary expectations. It was certainly a big step up from the first time I ate a plane meal on an international flight 15 years ago!
One of my goals for the trip was to spend less time running around like a tourist and more time mingling and lounging like a local. For me it's important to really experience a city and remember it in details, not in a blur of activity that blends into vague memories. My brother and I spent a lot of time riding bike and exploring the city outskirts, parks, beaches, and night life. We also found the most popular public hangouts and met some really great locals in each city, locals who taught us things about the city that we might not have learned otherwise. We walked, rode bike, walked some more, paddled ourselves down canals, walked some more, took river cruises, swam in the ocean, jumped off piers, walked some more, rode more bike, went to sleep really late (or should I say really early? hehe), woke up and did it allll over again…for 37 days straight! It was a big adventure, no doubt! Some things happened to us on this trip that are still hard to believe… Luckily, time did not fly, it truly felt as though I was there forever! There were happy moments, sad moments, scary moments, pure joy, wonderment and glee, disappointments and fights (traveling with family isn't always easy!), lots of train rides (about 13 in total!), train strikes, luggage struggles, hotel crises, yummy culinary experiences, infuriating culinary experiences, examples of kindness and humanity (aaaand examples of the exact opposite), sunny days, rainy days and major storms, cold days, hot days, windy days, short days, long days, perfect days, lots of peddlers, overwhelming crowds, low-key crowds, blissful peace, soul searching, breathtaking views and moments with nature, amazing history, stunning architecture, you name it and much more…. the list goes on and on! So here I go, join me as I guide you through the 37 crazy beautiful days that I spent in Europe….
I'll be back in a few hours with my first post on Amsterdam!
