Plinth Albatross
Posted On: March 23, 2010
The last week has been one of those unusual weeks of transition. Winter is finally tailing off, and slowly but surely we are being teased with brighter days and warmer temperatures.
We are however subjected to subtle reminders of what is being left behind as a cold breeze or a sudden shower interferes with our shift in focus. Therefore, its appropriate in many ways that I had the opportunity to review this interesting recording from UK composer Michael Tanner, or Plinth, during this period.
Albatross is a collection of 5 interpretations of the Fleetwood Mac track of the same name and like the changes we are witnessing in the world around us, it provides the listener with a variation of audible delights suitable for the adapting seasons.
Despite being a bird, in literary circles the Albatross itself is largely considered to hold metaphorical value. Sometimes defined as a wearisome burden, this is in an allusion to Samuel Taylor Coleridges poem The Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
The original composition from Fleetwood Mac was in many ways an early example of ambient guitar music focusing on just two chord patterns, balanced lightly with cymbals. Its a dreamy composition and Plinth certainly pays homage in this respect with each track successfully conveying a relaxed, gentle approach to music.
To expand upon the originals approach Tanner calls upon the services of Aine ODwyer (harp), Richard Moult (piano) and Nick Palmer (piano on one track). While these accompaniments are subtle, they add both depth and richness to the recordings they feature on.
The tracks themselves vary in scope ranging from the relatively short Albatross Four (clocking in at just under four minutes) to the expansive and drawn out Albatross Three (which comes in at over twenty five minutes). Despite these differences in duration, the tracks stay true to their source each conveying images of slow tides, starry nights, gentle breezes and all to different degrees.
Over the last week I have enjoyed these sounds whilst waking up earlier in the morning thanks to the brighter dawn. Ive had the luxury of sitting on a park bench absorbing these sounds through my headphones on a lunch break, accompanied by the ambience of a bustling city as it awakes from it hibernation. Ive also battled rainstorms and bitter winds as the change in climate reluctantly sheds its skin. Yet despite this, and in spite of any metaphorical connotations the Albatross holds, Plinth has done away with any encumbrance and delivered a harmonious collection of sounds appropriate for all conditions.

The influence of Alcohol and cold weather led me to believe I could cover the entirety of Fleetwood Macs Albatross by myself with an out-of-tune Telecaster and a loop pedal. I could not. In the art of failing miserably, something new was created. Also featuring Aine ODwyer on harp, Richard Moult and Nick Palmer (Directorsound) on piano alongside various bowed strings and harmonium.

There's a song from David Gilmour's "On an Island", penned "Then I Closed My Eyes". I'm sorry Vivfox, but this song is the true tribute to Peter Green's "Albatross".

Fleetwood Mac 1971-1975: California LeaningCategories: Featured, Rock and Roll
Written By: Tim T.
Ill be the first to admit that Im a huge fan of the Rumors era line-up but digging deeper into the Macs catalog is highly recommended. Two forgotten stalwarts of Fleetwood Macs early 70s lineups include the dandy Bob Welch and guitar virtuoso Bob Weston. If you like Christie McVies legendary contributions during the late 70s and early 80s youll love some of her gems on albums like Penguin, Heroes are Hard to Find and Mystery to Me.
Fleetwood Mac Live in 1973
McVie, sorely missed on the two most recent Fleetwood Mac reunion tours, is now retired in the English countryside but her legacy looms large over the long and storied career of the band. She has, to date, appeared on all but two albums, either as a member or as a session musician. Any questions about the soul and depth of McVies compositions and writing skills should be answered with a listen to Mystery To Mes final track, Why. Hmmm, Im getting carried away about McVie and I set off to shine some light on Welch and Bob Weston.
Heres a 1976 version of Why with Lindsey Buckingham adding some tasteful guitar stylings.
Bob Welch was a pure bred Californian who helped to convince Mick Fleetwood and John McVie to move the band from England to California back in 1971. Welch, who later had big success as a solo artist after bowing out of Fleetwood Mac in late 1974, is best known for his nimble guitar work, fine songwriting and a somewhat geeky persona with large oversized glasses and a tendency to wear a fedora.
It can be argued that Welchs contributions to Fleetwood Mac were pretty profound, he was instrumental in moving the band toward a more pop-based California sound, laying the groundwork for Buckingham and Nicks who would essentially replace him in 1975.
Welch was mysteriously snubbed by the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Fleetwood Mac when the band was inducted in 1998. Welch had this to say about the affair:
Im really disappointed about being overlooked by Fleetwood Mac. It basically comes down to the fact that they dont like me anymore. I guess they can do what they want. I could understand it if I had been a sideman for a year. But I was an integral part of that band for five years. I put more of myself into that band than anything else Ive ever done.
Full props to Bob Welch who wrote several standout tracks for the band including Sentimental Lady, Hypnotized and Bermuda Triangle.
Bob Weston had a short lived stint with the band but helped stabilize the bands sound after the departure of previous guitar god Danny Kirwin. He would famously be fired for having an affair with Mick Fleetwoods first wife during the bands 1973 tour.
Never a dull moment for Fleetwood Mac, whatever the incarnation of the band may be..

The Day After The Sabbath 14 compilation
TDATS 14, another primordial concoction from the lost land of the rock dinosaurs. This one kicks off with the purplish hard prog of I Drive, a mainly english band who played and recorded in Germany. Bubble Puppy enters the frey with with some of the hardest riffing 60s psych there was, Riders Of The Mark is even older than that and while not heavy in the same sense, it has that oninous foreboding feeling that metal would use later on. Colosseum displays infectious groove that would be sampled by Fatboy Slim years later and Paris features ex-Fleetwood Mac member Bob Welch, rocking hard like you'd imagine Mac would have continued to do so if Peter Green had remained. Track 12 is the customary cover, this time sludge-punks Killdozer's 1989 cover of a James Gang classic. Canadian Neil Merryweather (also a founder of Mama Lion, on TDATS XI) finishes up with the entertaining mix of glam, metal, space rock and prog that he would make his own on his 'Space Ranger' and 'Kryptonite' albums.
01. I Drive - Down Down Down - 1972
02. Bubble Puppy - Hot Smoke and Sassafras - 1969
03. Starz - Boys In Action - 1976
04. Riders Of The Mark - The Electronic Insides... - 1967
05. Colosseum - The Kettle - 1969
06. Neon Rose - Waiting For The Train - 1974
07. Asoka - Psykfoni For Ekogitarr Och Poporkester - 1971
08. Stud - Woman Like You - 1975
09. Hustler - Midnight Seducer - 1974
10. Solid Ground - Tell Me - 1976
11. Paris - Breathless - 1975
12. Killdozer - Funk #49 (James Gang cover) - 1989

Thanks, lets agree that the music does not sound tired, but certainly serious. Its alive and full of energy. The original copy on YouTube made me go and buy the Complete Blue Horizon 1967-1969. Its incredible, I dont know why that music after 40 years still make me listen and enjoy.

Thanks for posting this clip (an original copy was removed some time ago), I enjoy watching Peter Green and Danny Kirwan, accompanying Jeremy Spencer. They play with respect, but at the same time they look tired. Probably because af Jeremys egotrips in the band, only playing his own numbers.
Fate really takes character when looking at these images. Knowing what happened a few years later and what happened to the musicians and Fleetwood Mac later.

Nashville's the Place. Excerpt with a mention of Bob Welch moving there in article about Nashville.
Music Dish Network
"Nashville has also become home to other famous musicians who are looking to get away from the New York and LA scenes, such as Jonathan Cain, a member of the group Journey who now lives here. There are members of 80's & 90's bands who have moved here - Gunnar Nelson and Kelly Keagy of Night Ranger. Bob Welch, an original member of Fleetwood Mac just moved here."
Uhhhh....no. That's wrong.
It wasn't until the whole Mystery To Me tour, "bogus band" fiasco in '73/74 that Welch suggested they emigrate to the US (SoCal in particular) to be physically closer to their record company's headquarters. From the time he joined the band until they moved to California, Welch, I think, was living at the Fleetwood Mac "commune" Benifolds. (Right, Bob? If you happen to read this.)

April 24, 1970
In early April, when Fleetwood Mac returned to London after an emotional European tour, Peter Green, devastated by drugs, suddenly announced he would be leaving the group in late May. Clifford Davis, the bands manager, reluctantly began cancelling an upcoming British tour set to begin the following month. Relationships in the stunned band were strained, but the Mac still had to complete recording The Green Manalishi (With the Two-Prong Crown), Peters final studio effort with them, as well as a B-side for the single. To underscore the troubled band relationships, Jeremy Spencer opted out of these sessions to work on his own album.
Despite the high tension, the recording sessions at De Lane Lea Studios in London, driven by the intense music, still had their moments. Mick set up his new gong, surrounded by six microphones and miles of cables, in the underground car park below the studio. When Mick banged his gong, that car park vibrated like a giant bell with an eerie ringing that reverberated off the walls. Talk about an echo! Another night, Carlos Santana showed up, and it didnt take long for a lengthy jam session to start. In the past, Peter often hit upon brilliant melodic ideas in the midst of jams like these, and on this night, he was showing Santana some pretty impressive licks. At some point, Peter had introduced Santana to Black Magic Woman, the hit that Carlos would record shortly thereafter for his own bands second album. Throughout the sessions, Clifford did his best to convince Peter to stay, but Greenie steadfastly maintained his intention to leave, seemingly happier now that his decision was public.
We finished recording on April 20th and headed to Scotland for gigs in Dundee, Aberdeen, and Edinburgh. The crowds, aware that Peter was leaving, were huge and ebullient, and Chris Adamson and I spent more time being security guards than working the stage. We were both concerned about the recent turn of events that had begun with Peters drug use in Germany. Peter was very fragile, yet his guitar-playing was powerful and evocative during these Scottish gigs. Still the bands musical leader, Peter had decided to go back to the two-song set list format: Peter would perform two songs, followed by Danny Kirwans two songs, followed by Jeremys two songs. Everyone was happy with that set-up, and the shows were quite good, despite any tensions that remained when the band came off stage.
On Friday, April 24th, we returned to play a gig at the Roundhouse on Chalk Farm Road in North London, part of a Pop Proms series that began with Traffic on the previous Monday and Elton John on Tuesday. Chris convinced me to add more cabinets to our WEM system, knowing that fans and press would be out in full force to see Peter. Charlie Watkins, my mentor and grand old man of British sound reinforcement, obliged us with the extra gear. Originally a steam engine turning shed dating back to Victorian times, the Roundhouse became an arts venue in 1964. Although it has undergone extensive architectural transformations since then, back in 1970 it was still funky. The interior of the circular building was unique with a high, arching dome ceiling. I was excited, as I knew this reflector would be great for our sound. For the Mac, a stage was built at one end with no seats on the floor. Micks eyes lit up when he saw the balcony walkway that circled the building.
A year earlier, the band had played with B.B. King at the Royal Albert Hall, the first show of a British tour with the blues giant who had brought a backing band with him. Attended by Englands rock royaltyJimmy Page, Eric Clapton, Mick Taylor, Keith Richards, Mick Jaggeras well as Janis Joplin and her band, the concert was a blues aficionados dream. Flamboyant Long John Baldry was the master of ceremonies; Duster Bennett and Brownie McGhee and Sonny Terry were the openers. For this important show, I had added extra sound equipment, including a pair of bright red, parabolic speakers that resembled breasts for vocals. After the show, Mick Jagger stopped me backstage.
I loved those giant tits on the organ! he exclaimed, thinking they were stage props. When I explained that they were speakers, he started laughing. Mick Fleetwood, who was standing behind me, quipped, All we need now is a huge, blow-up dick!
Although Fleetwood had been promising the band the inflatable stage prop since the Albert Hall show, no one had seen it and everyone had forgotten about it. Not Fleetwood, especially when he saw the walkway at the Roundhouse. Unbeknownst to the rest of the band, he had cajoled Jagger into loaning him an inflatable penis, complete with testicles, for this performance.
The Many Faces of Fleetwood Mac
April 14, 2010 Lorne Cansler
When many fans think of Fleetwood Mac, they naturally think of the five members that brought the band its most commercial success. However, Mick Fleetwood and John McVie had recorded 10 albums with seven different combinations of musicians under the name of Fleetwood Mac, before they assembled the lineup that made the band superstars.
The Early Years of Fleetwood Mac
Fleetwood Mac, then a British blues band, released their first album in 1968. Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac featured Peter Green and Jeremy Spencer, both on guitars and vocals, while Spencer also contributed as a pianist. The band's rhythm section, drummer Mick Fleetwood and bassist John McVie, would remain the only constants in the band. The same foursome would release their second album, Mr. Wonderful, later that same year.
Their third album, Then Play On (1969) featured a new member, 18-year-old Danny Kirwin on guitar and vocals. With three guitarists in the group, Jeremy Spencer contributed less to Then Play On than he did on previous albums.
The 1970 release, Kiln House, was Fleetwood Mac's first album without Peter Green, who left the band while struggling with psychoses. The band chose not to replace Green and Fleetwood Mac was once again a quartet.
In 1971, Fleetwood Mac released Future Games, their first album without Jeremy Spencer, who had joined the Children of God. John McVie's then-wife, Christine, joined the band to replace Spencer on keyboards.
Bob Welch became the first American to join Fleetwood Mac by replacing Spencer on guitar. Welch and Christine McVie's contributions to the band also included vocal and songwriting talents. Along with Danny Kirwin, Fleetwood Mac had three singer-songwriters. The same line released Bare Trees in 1972.
Danny Kirwin's alcohol dependence and related problems created problems within the band and Mick Fleetwood found it necessary to fire him. Kirwin was replaced by guitarist Bob Weston and vocalist Dave Walker. Now a six-member band, Fleetwood Mac released Penguin in 1973.
The band fired Dave Walker because they thought his vocal style was not compatible with the group. Without replacing Walker, Fleetwood Mac released another album in 1973, Mystery to Me. While on tour, Mick Fleetwood discovered that his wife was having an affair with Bob Weston, who was immediately fired.
Mick Fleetwood, John McVie, Christine McVie, and Bob Welch returned to the studio and released Heroes are Hard to Find. It would be the last Fleetwood Mac album with Bob Welch, who left the band for a solo career.

Minutes after Mitt Romney's defeat was announced, former Gov. Pete Wilson turned his attention to the political power of labor unions, funded by automatic payroll dues deductions.
"We have to change the rules a little bit so that people who take money from other people's paychecks can't do that any more," Wilson said from the podium at the Westin South Coast Plaza Hotel ballroom, addressing several hundred Republicans whose hopes of a celebration were deflated early.
Wilson then praised Orange County-based efforts to reduce union influence, including Proposition 32.
But with the election over, most of those I spoke to at the Westin were less concerned with demonizing opponents than with reflecting on what Republicans need to do next if the party is to have a future. At the top of the list: attracting more minority voters, particularly Latinos.
California's Latino electorate took a significant shift away from Republicans with Proposition 187 in 1994, when Wilson made that measure – which targeted illegal immigrants – a cornerstone of his successful re-election bid. It helped Wilson in the short run, but the GOP has watched the Latino electorate grow – and its own voter share shrink – steadily ever since.
So it wasn't surprising that Wilson chose to talk about unions rather than Latinos. But as it turned out, the Republican effort to "change the rules a little bit" also fell flat Tuesday.
Prop. 32, which called for the ban of automatic payroll deductions for union members to fund political efforts, got the thumbs down from 56 percent of voters. Costa Mesa's Measure V, which included a localized version of Prop. 32, lost by a 3-2 margin – thanks in part to unions having a 10-to-1 spending advantage. Huntington Beach's Measure Z, which would increase pressure on city employee pensions by eliminating a longstanding property tax set up specifically to fund those pensions, was trailing by a narrow margin Friday despite opponents being outspent nearly 2-to-1.
The author of Prop. 32, Tustin lawyer Mark Bucher, and another leader in the political assault on union influence, county GOP Chairman Scott Baugh, said Thursday that they were undaunted by the losses. Both vowed to return with similar measures and better campaign strategies.
"It may be that people just haven't seen enough municipal bankruptcies to understand that there's really a problem," said Bucher. A similar Bucher-authored measure was turned back in 1998, and a 2005 initiative modeled after the 1998 effort also failed.
While earlier statewide efforts – and Costa Mesa's Measure V – saw unions vastly outspending reform proponents, out-of-state funding helped make the money game more even for Prop. 32. Proponents spent about $60 million and opponents spent about $75 million, according to an Associated Press analysis.
"I don't think that was the difference," Bucher said. "Both sides had substantial resources."
Few dispute the claims of Bucher and Baugh that many public pension programs are too generous to be sustainable. In June, voters in San Diego and San Jose approved pension reforms. Nick Berardino, general manager of the Orange County Employees Association, also recognizes the problem. He leads the county's biggest public employee union, which voluntarily restructured its pension program to make it more sustainable.
"Pensions are something I think everyone is going to continue working on," Berardino said. "Everybody knows that needs to be addressed."
Berardino rejected Bucher's assertion that his efforts are a response to unions' pushing cities to the brink of bankruptcy.
"This isn't about pension reform," he said. "This is about limiting the collective bargaining power of working people."
Noting the stronghold that union-friendly Democrats have in Sacramento and among the state's electorate, Berardino also dismissed Bucher's and Baugh's expectation that they will eventually prevail.
"They're living in Oz," he said. "They're drowning in 6 feet of water and swimming into 12 feet of water."

Institute of Continuing Education (ICE)
This Saturday, wrapped up in a blanket and a scarf, I sat in our chilly conservatory for an hour and saw two blackbirds, a starling, a collared dove and a jackdaw in the garden.
Not the most impressive bird list you might say, but I think this one is important because it was my record for this year's RSPB Big Garden Birdwatch. This amazing survey has been running for over 30 years, and has proved invaluable for tracking the long-term waxing and waning fortunes of some of Britain's most familiar garden birds. Data for the scheme isn't collected by professional ornithologists or scientists, but by interested members of the public, who each give up an hour of their day once a year to record the species they spot in their garden or local area.
Since the survey started, the numbers of some of our commonest species, such as the house sparrow and starling, have plummeted. Not that this scheme was set up to simply record the demise of biodiversity in the UK. Rather, by cataloguing how populations are changing, such information can inform conservation policy which can ultimately halt these declines.
The Big Garden Birdwatch isn't the only way that interested amateurs are helping conservation and taking part in 'citizen science'. In fact, there are dozens of initiatives where citizen scientists are making a real contribution to conservation in the UK. For example, you can volunteer to take part in Moth Night 2012, run a butterfly transect with Butterfly Conservation, record breeding birds in your garden with the British Trust for Ornithology, and monitor plant distributions with the Botanical Society of the British Isles. You can also get involved with surveying and practical conservation more locally by taking part in work parties or monitoring projects at Wildlife Trust reserves around Cambridgeshire.
Amateur naturalists have been recording the species they see in their local area and making biological collections for centuries. In fact the UK has perhaps the best biological record of this kind in the world. In the University Museum of Zoology, Cambridge, we have such specimens dating back hundreds of years, representing an invaluable record of how species numbers and distributions have changed.
So why not get involved in citizen science yourself? There have never been more opportunities to contribute to research, to make a difference to conservation, and to learn more about the wildlife in your local area. What's more, volunteering is even good for you and has been shown to increase your sense of happiness, satisfaction, self-esteem and physical health! More importantly it's fun.
If you would like to learn more about ecological monitoring, conservation and natural history with the Institute of Continuing Education, then why not take part in one of Biological Science courses.

Need a lawyer?
The Justia Lawyer Directory is a listing of lawyers, legal aid organizations, and pro bono legal service organizations. Whether you were injured, are accused of a crime, or are merely engaging in everyday affairs that affect your legal rights or property, an attorney can help you resolve problems or prevent new ones from arising.
Here are just a few situations where you might want to seek the advice of an attorney:
- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Open enrollment for health insurance on the Affordable Care Act exchange (HealthCare.gov) ends in most states on Saturday, and it looks the number of signups could be significantly lower this year compared to a year ago.
While the factors influencing signups are no doubt complex, many experts say that the Trump administration's efforts to undermine the system have been effective, especially the sharp reduction in public messaging about the program.
NPR and Axios have more on the story. And here's a graphic look from Axios at the current state of ACA signups.

Tolkien studies
This article or section is a stub. Please help Tolkien Gateway by expanding it.
Tolkien studies is the scholarly research of the works of J.R.R. Tolkien this includes his fictional literature and languages and his philologist research.
Tolkien's Scholarship
Tolkien's own academic research has had a great impact within the field of philology.
Tolkien wrote many of the entries under "W" in the Oxford English Dictionary and many of those entries still survive this day as he originally wrote them.[1] He also wrote the groundbreaking A Middle English Vocabulary which looked at common words instead of exotic words.[2]
His lecture titled Beowulf: The Monsters and the Critics changed scholars understanding of the epic poem. During his time it was largely viewed as a historical document, but Tolkien argued that it should be examined as a literay work of art. This method of studying Beowulf is now popular today.[3]
Age of Innocence
Generally, the history of Tolkien scholarship is divided into four time periods:
- the book reviews
- the cult period and the fierce reactions to it
- the acceptance of Tolkien as a literary agent
- and lastly, the post-movie phase, featuring expanded volumes, reprints, and a wide variety of subjects.[4]
The first two periods have been summarized by Tom Shippey as the "Age of Innocence": the time before the publishing of The Silmarillion, Unfinished Tales, The Letters of J.R.R. Tolkien and The History of Middle-earth. After the publishing of at least some of those, many musings, theories and guesses were flattened by additional information.[5] The field of literary critics taking interest was still thin, and serious academic research was rare. The first conference on Tolkien's literature was held in 1966; before that, only collected works on children's literature had picked up serious attention for The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.[6]
1,800 New Entries
A major turn in scholarship was the publishing of The Silmarillion, edited by Christopher Tolkien. The book included the history of things that were previously no more than a "background-word", such as Beren[7] or Gondolin.[8] Apart from many expanded entries, the second edition of J.E.A. Tyler's The Tolkien Companion included some 1,800 new entries.[9] A landmark publication of this time was Shippey's The Road to Middle-earth.[4]

There are a number of universities and colleges that offer course work in Tolkien studies. This is a listing of some of the courses devoted solely to Tolkien studies. There are some institutions that offer Tolkien studies as part of another course.
- Bethel University offers a course on the theology of Middle-earth.
- Bradley Unviersity offers a course taught by J.R.R. Tolkien scholar Mike Foster on The Lord of the Rings.
- Cardiff Centre for Lifelong Learning offers a course on the literature of Tolkien and how it relates to his understanding of earlier fantasy literature.[10]
- Rice University offers a course on The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit as a mythology for England.[11]
- Rutgers University offers a course on Christian elements found in The Lord of the Rings.[12]
- Victoria University of Wellington offers a course on The Lord of the Rings and how it relates to medieval literature.[13]

Free Christian Online Home School Newsletter
Search Learning By Grace Homeschooling Site
Online Homeschooling Christian Leader
Learning By Grace is the online homeschooling leader. Partnering successfully with families for almost ten years, we reach Christian homeschool families in all 50 states and 20 countries. Founded by veteran homeschooling parents of 8 children, we understand your needs and meet them, because we've been there.
Online homeschooling is fast becoming the preferred way to homeschool because it saves work and gives you more time to do the important things. Let technology deliver the Daily Lessons, grade Student Assignments, track Attendance, report to District, create Portfoliio, build Transcripts,
Learning By Grace's online homeschooling program enables you to fulfill the Lord's mandates from the scriptures to teach our children about Him all day, every day. Train up a child in the Lord and when he is old he will not depart from Him. A simple promise. Hard to accomplish. We are here to help.
Our online homeschooling curriculum works so well because it is filled with rich multi media experiences through its 28,000 video clips, 120,000 hand-picked websites, and fun learning games. It engages. It empowers. It can be done 24/7/365. It can be done fast, slow, paused, or skipped; the student is driving and that makes him learn.
Written by Mimi Rothschild
It all started when my newborn triplet needed 23 operations in 24 months due to his extreme prematurity. My triplets were born at 28 weeks, each just under 2 pounds each. I was homeschooling my then 14, 12, 10 and 6 year olds, had a premature newborn surviving triplets to care for and was mourning the death of the first triplet who died after 42 hours.
We spent 12 hours a day at the Chlldren's Hospital of Philadelphia taking care of Riley. We took 2 buses and walked a quarter mile to get to the hospital. I went 7 days a week (5 days a week bringing with me my homeschooled kids). While in the hospital for almost 2 years, we got to know a lot of the long time kids, that were almost warehoused there. They were beautiful. The Internet was brand new in 1997 and I was just beginning to figure out how to use it in our homeschooling. The kids could spend ALL day, every day on it and end up learning more than I could teach them from textbooks.
The idea came to me in an instant. God showed me a vision for a school that came to the hospital so that any child who was hospitalized for a long time could benefit from a learning community and pre-planned online lessons.
That was the birth of what 10 years later has become an international Christian online homeschooling ministry serving hundreds of thousands of families in all 50 states and 20 countries. Thank you Lord for your graciousness and greatness!
From 1997-2002, I spent every spare minute (many sleepless nights) working on developing a blueprint for how an online school would operate. I wrote a 500 page document that spelled it all out. I began developing online lessons for my own children to use in their online homeschooling program and tested with children live online, in many grades, to see how my ideas would work in reality. The most amazing part is that my husband is a computer software architect. So, it was really his vision for the infrastructure, that made my educational ideas have a form from which children could learn. Howard worked on the huge amount of specification documentation necessary to build an online school. Remember this was 14 years ago when AOL was the primary launch pad for all internet users and Amazon and Google were in their embryonic stages.
After 5 years of mistakes, false starts, criticism, (even lawsuits!!! from school districts who tried to maintain their monopoly in education by saying an online school was illegal) and lots more than could fill a book, we finally launched the first online homeschooling Academy, The Grace Academy in 2002.
The response was very postive. I knew that I was not alone in my thinking that in order to homeschool successfully, I did not have to do everything myself. I could not do everything myself. I have a very limited understanding of the maths and sciences and I did not like teaching my own kids those subjects. I love creating new products and new ways to educate children, but when it came to the day to day creating lesson plans, reviewing academic material and all of that, I stunk! I knew there had to be other people who felt the same, yet wanted to homeschool. So, that is where an online homeschool program that could be tailored to the individual needs of the child was a perfect answer.
The Learning by Grace Academies gives you as much or as little support from teachers as you need. Over the past 10 years we have developed an online homeschooling Academy that meets everyone's needs. Teachers can be available at the touch of a button, lessons are available daily, and online courses are full of multi media like videos, games, websites. We take care of all paperwork needed for compliance with homeschooling laws. In some of our Academies you can get a high school diploma.

Mimi Rothschild is the co-founder, along with her husband of 32 years, of Learning By Grace, the nation's leader in Christian Online HomeSchooling Programs.
Mimi has 8 children, 2 son in laws, and 3 grandbabies. Her grandbabies are now being homeschooled. Two of her sons are in heaven worshipping at the feet of Jesus.

Stetson and Tel Hamilton are definitely brothers in arms.
The Dolores siblings are fantastic with a bow and arrow.
Montezuma Countys strong 4-H archery program perhaps had its best season at the 4-H state championships in Pueblo.
Stetson Hamilton, 15, placed fifth at the state fair in his first year in the senior division shooting compound bow. His performance qualified him for the 4-H Nationals at Grand Island, Neb., next June.
Younger brother Tel Hamilton, 12, placed fourth in the junior division in Pueblo.
The competitive archers and bow hunters dont appear to be letting up any time soon.
Next year, Im hoping to qualify for nationals in recurve (bow), Stetson said. I would like to also try to qualify for nationals in other shooting areas. But I havent figured it out yet.
Hitting a target takes extreme concentration and focus. These elements are a must to master precise bow and arrow aim.
How did archery all start for the Hamilton brothers?
Seven years ago, Rusty and Kim Hamilton took their sons to a hunting exposition. Stetson tested out a bow and arrow for the first time. From there, he was hooked
They had a ping-pong ball fly out of a leaf blower and you shot at that. I shot that, said Stetson, who will be a sophomore catcher on the Dolores High School baseball team. We came home a week later and I wanted a bow. That was the end of it.
Tel saw his older brothers newfound passion for archery and was influenced to try it himself.
What really got me into archery, was my older brother, Tel said. Ive always done something that my older brother has done, with baseball and everything. He started in 4-H, and me and him have skyrocketed since then.
Seven years later, the Hamiltons have huge aspirations for the future.
Stetson hopes to continue his climb up the 4-H competition ladder in compound and recurve bow. He wants to be an archery instructor as well. Stetson has bow-hunted the last two years, bagging massive mule deer bucks that scored in the Pope and Young records.
I would like to become a leader and help people out, Stetson said. When I turn 18 or 21, I would like to become certified and help grow the (local) archery program.
Tel, well, all he wants is his own television show. Tel shot his first kill bow hunting in Texas with his father. Tel bagged a blue Hawaiian ram in 2009. He is old enough to tag Colorado big-game this bow hunting season.
I would like to go professional with hunting or target shooting, said Tel, who also plays basketball at Dolores Middle School. I would like to start filming my archery hunts and get on TV.
Before state, Stetson took reserve champion at the Montezuma County Fair in the senior division. Tel told all at the fair, winning grand champion in the junior division.
The brothers are currently preparing for the 2013 World Archery Festival at Las Vegas, Nev., in February. Archers only shoot from 20 yards away in Vegas, but the best in the world descend upon Sin City.
Vegas is the next big thing for me. I would like to place in the top 10 this year, Tel said. I missed it by a little bit last year. But Im back with much better equipment. I have a target bow this year. I had a hunting bow the last two years.
Stetson and Tel Hamilton are just a combined 27 years old. If the sibling duo, that is anything but a rivalry, continue to shoot for success, the brothers may be right on target to achieve their ultimate goals.

The first shipments of Apple's new 27-inch iMacs have begun arriving at the doorsteps of early-bird buyers, and MacRumors forum user R.OG has posted one of the Web's first teardowns of the flagship desktop. The internals follow the same general layout as the 21.5-inch iMac, which we commented on last month, but there are a few notable differences.
The most obvious is that the 27-inch iMac has room for a full 3.5-inch desktop hard disk drive. The one pictured is an OEM version of the Western Digital WD10EALX, a 7200 RPM Blue drive. The 21.5-inch iMac, by contrast, uses a 2.5-inch HGST Travelstar 5K1000 HDD, spinning at 5400 RPM.
The images posted by R.OG reveal that like the 21.5-inch iMac, the 27-inch iMac's GPU shares space with the CPU on the logic board. The CPU and GPU heat sink support braces are clearly visible on the back of the logic board. Previous iMacs used an MXM daughterboard for their video cards, coupled with an extensive heat pipe and heat sink assembly to channel heat away from it.
The Kepler-based Nvidia GPUs on the new generation of iMacs are more miserly with their thermal envelope, and Apple has engineered a way to cool the entire system with a single fan, even when the iMac is configured with the top build-to-order CPU and GPU options (an Ivy Bridge i7-3770 and a GeForce GTX 680MX, respectively).
The speakers are larger than on the 21.5-inch iMac, owing to there being more space inside, and the power supply daughterboard below the HDD is larger than in the 21.5-inch iMac. As with its smaller sibling, the 27-inch iMac has wireless antennae scattered around the edge of the enclosure, and it's secured together with sticky foam. One of the challenges for would-be DIY enthusiasts is getting through the foam to get to the iMac's internals; a guitar pick apparently works well as a foam cutter. However, even more of a challenge than that is how to get the iMac back together after you're done fiddling with its guts.
Interestingly, Mac reseller and parts shop Other World Computing has begun selling a RAM upgrade kit for 21.5-inch iMacs which includes a package of sticky foam for resealing iMacs. The 27-inch iMac doesn't need a RAM upgrade kit—its RAM is user-accessible through a port on the rear—but we speculate a similar "Open & Close Your iMac" parts kit will be available soon.
Compared to the mess of components the previous-generation 27-inch iMac contained, the new 27-inch iMac is downright minimalist inside. This is no doubt a combination of Johnny Ive's industrial design insight, coupled with CEO Tim Cook's legendary (and legendarily ruthless) supply chain management expertise.
We're expecting to receive our 27-inch iMac early next week. Andrew Cunningham has already reviewed the 21.5-inch model, but we'll have a comparative review of the 27-inch version up shortly after UPS drops it off.

Ban Neonics
Together, we did this
On Friday, 27th April neonics were banned for use on all outdoor crops.
Together, we said no to bee-harming pesticides, neonicotinoids, and today the EU member states listened, and voted, on the basis of overwhelming scientific evidence.
We need to keep these promises
However, post-Brexit we need to keep these promises to continue to protect our pollinators.
We must keep up the pressure to ensure the ban continues outside of the EU.
What are Neonicotinoids?
Neonicotinoids (or 'neonics') are systemic pesticides: Unlike contact pesticides, which remain on the surface, neonics are absorbed into the plant. Plants are sprayed or seeds are coated in these pesticides, which then are taken up by every part of the plant as it grows.
When an animal eats any part of the plant—from roots and leaves to fruit, flowers and pollen—it ingests these pesticides.
Neonics are meant to be more targeted than non-systemic pesticides, but they're not. Research has shown that only 5% of the pesticide actually gets taken up by the crop. The other 95% ends up in the soil, the groundwater, the air—and other nearby plants, including wildflowers and hedges.
Neonicotinoids harm bees, butterflies, birds, and other animals.
Research on bees has exposed the toxic nature of these insecticides and opened up a worrying pandora's box. Evidence now suggests they are also harmful to aquatic wildlife, birds and butterflies. As research continues, the full scale impact of these chemicals on our wildlife is emerging.
Wildlife are exposed to neonicotinoids when they eat pesticide-contaminated plants – including their seeds, pollen and nectar. And research has found that neonicotinoid pesticides aren't acting alone: Wildflowers near crops treated with neonics are often contaminated with numerous pesticides in addition to neonicotinoids. Evidence suggests these pesticide cocktails can be 1000 times more toxic than neonicotinoids alone.
Neonicotinoids are contaminating our countryside, and poisoning our wildlife.
The EU's partial, temporary ban isn't enough: We demand that the Government ban the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on all crops, permanently.

Neonicotinoid pesticides must be banned permanently. We need mass action to make that happen. I grew up on a farm with lots of different animals – sheep, horses, cattle, chickens, geese, and not to mention the wildlife, which is disappearing from our countryside. I am proud to be a life-long member of the Soil Association, because I believe that my donations really matter when it comes to getting wildlife back in the countryside.Heather Rainbow Member of the Soil Association

Kake Access Committee moves forward recommendations
Kake Access Committee Chair Cindi Lagoudakis updated the Assembly during Monday night's meeting regarding the latest progress in the Kake Access Environmental Impact Study and Purpose and Need draft.
The Kake Access Project is to bring better access to the community of about 500, and could include the construction of a new road, the development of new ferry connections, or a combination. The State in 2012 appropriated $40 million for the project. A project to bring more affordable power to Kake is also in the works as part of support to the remote town.
A Purpose and Need draft has been completed as part of the Kake Access Environmental Impact Study. The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is accepting written comments on the draft, from now until August 5.
"I think Petersburg should look at the Purpose and Need statement and think about how we could narrow the scope of what could be considered under this EIS; that all of the things are being proposed are things that we want to consider. And because this process is front-loaded, now would be the time," Lagoudakis said.
Lagoudakis explained that under new Federal laws, the Kake Access Project EIS process is being fast-tracked. She said the Borough could ask for more time for the review. She added that in her online research, she found the average time for the EIS process is about eight years.
"I think there are enough concerns about what is being proposed in the access project that we don't necessarily want to scurry through it," she said.
Petersburg Borough Manager Steve Giesbrecht said that a lot of people think the access project and the power project are two separate things, but in fact they are linked together. "I had a conversation with the Juneau [Department of Transportation] person, and they are still planning on the premise that the road will be settled and the power line will come in afterwards and follow wherever the road goes. The northern route is the preferred route, by DOT. It's being pushed by both DOT and on the power line side," he said.
Lagoudakis concluded her presentation by saying: "When you look at the Purpose and Need statement, it addresses the fact that there is more transportation available during the summertime; in fact there is daily transportation available in the summertime. When I look at this project logically, there is no way the roads are going to be maintained in the wintertime to provide other access that this document says it's going to address.
Hearings will be held, and the public is encouraged to comment, on July 23 from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m., at the Kake City Hall, and in Petersburg on July 24 from 4 to 6 p.m., at the U.S. Forest Service conference room.

There are a large group of amputees living in the country and the number of them is supposed to increase a lot in the following years. Among them, lower-limb amputees are the majority. In order to improve the locomotion of lower-limb amputees, many prostheses have been developed. Most commercially available prostheses are passive. They can not actively provide pure torque as an intact human could do. Powered prostheses have been the focus during the past decades. Some advanced prostheses have been successful in walking on level ground as well as on inclined surface and climbing stairs. However, not much work …

...in clothing (Army uniform shirt?) that looks distinctly antique?
Why, it's DAD, that's who! In about the early 1940's. He's twenty-something.
What's that you're holding, soldier? A kitten!
But Dad never liked cats. So he said.
Until Toby chose him as his special friend. How do cats DO that? They pick out the person who likes them least and love that one the most. Toby did that. Dad could never take a nap without Toby napping on Dad's stomach.
It was always Dad's job to herd the cats into the laundry room late at night. They all learned that resistance was futile, and went when told to. Not Toby. Dad always carried Toby into the laundry room. Why? "Toby prefers to be carried."
I remember once when Mom was in Florida, and an ice storm hit the D.C. area, knocking out power to tens of thousands of homes. I telephoned Dad to be sure he was okay.
"I'm fine," he said. "I pulled a table and chair up to the fireplace and sat there and paid bills. I had a cold supper, and I slept on the couch near the fire."
"Where'd the cats sleep, in the laundry room?"
"Oh, no, it was far too cold for them in there! They slept with me, on the couch."

It's obvious from the picture that he's a kitty-lover, but I didn't know he tried to keep it a secret. That makes it even more adorable!

The Open PHACTS API support various formats and this JSON is the default format used by the ops.js library. However, the amount of information returned by the Open PHACTS cache is complex, and generally includes more than you want to use in the next step. Therefore, it is needed to extract data from the JSON document, which was not covered in the post #10 or #11.
Let's start with the example JSON given in that post, and let's consider this is the value of a variable with the name jsonData:
"id": 1,
"name": "Foo",
"price": 123,
"tags": [ "Bar", "Eek" ],
"stock": {
"warehouse": 300,
"retail": 20
We can see that this JSON value starts with a map-like structure. We can also see that there is a list embedded, and another map. I guess that one of the reasons why JSON has taken such a flight is how well it integrates with the JavaScript language: selecting content can be done in terms of core language features, different from, for example, XPath statements needed for XML or SPARQL for RDF content. This is because the notation just follows core data types of JavaScript and data is stored as native data types and objects.
For example, to get the price value from the above JSON code, we use:
var price = jsonData.price;
Or, if we want to get the first value in the Bar-Eek list, we use:
var tag = jsonData.tags[0];
Or, if we want to inspect the warehouse stock:
var inStock = jsonData.stock.warehouse;
Now, the JSON returned by the Open PHACTS API has a lot more information. This is why the online, interactive documentation is so helpful: it shows the JSON. In fact, given that JSON is so much used, there are many tools online that help you, such as jsoneditoronline.org (yes, it will show error messages if the syntax is wrong):
And with a JSON viewing extension, opening this https://beta.openphacts.org/1.3/pathways/... URL in your browser window will look something like:
And because these extensions typically use syntax highlighting, it is easier to understand how to access information from within your JavaScript code. For example, if we want the number of pathways in which the compound testosterone (the link is the ConceptWiki URL in the above example) is found, we can use this code:
var pathwayCount = jsonData.result.primaryTopic.pathway_count;

Dear Film/TV directors, producers etc…,
If you're going to film in my hometown (or anywhere I know the streets like the back of my hand for that matter) please ensure you check your continuity before putting said TV show to air or releasing said film…
I know I'm probably being finicky, but it really bugs me when I'm watching something like "Offspring" and a character walks out of the Freemason's in East Melbourne then is on Brunswick street about 2 minutes later (trust me I know, I've done the walk from Gipps St to Brunswick St plenty of times. It isn't a 2 minute walk). Oh and please don't refer to the flower shop on Brunswick St as the flower shop on Alexandra Pde. Two completely different streets…
Or the worst offender ever The Big Steal (and this is big coming from me, as this is one of my all time fav Aussie movies), when Steve Bisley's character Gordon Farkas is being followed by the Police after a big night on the turps, he turns off the Top end of Swanston Street (near Flinders St Station), to mysteriously park on Cavell St in St Kilda. That kinda stuff really annoys me!
Please be true to this beautiful city of mine, as every square inch of her needs to be respected.
Kind Regards
Amber G
P.S. As a side note please have passion, please have a look at my blog After the deluge… for my definition of passion.
Suburban Blues…
I got the suburban blues.
The low-down-dirty-suburban-blues.
I want my inner-city comfort back.
Actually I want my own little slice of the inner-city.
Fitzroy is home, its my happy place at the moment(well it has been for about 10 years). Unless of course when I go overseas I find another happy place(NYC anyone?). Fitzy is it.
Feel like I've grown up there, I skipped classes at Tafe to go sit in cafes and read when I was 18/19/20. I've fallen for 10 different Fitzroy boys in the last 10 years! That's right, count 'em TEN!
I can name all of them too, egads! But I won't.
I do wonder whatever happened to Brendan and Jack though, I'm sure I saw Jack about 5 years ago walking out from the milkbar and I ran.
I do however know that one of them is now in a rather large band I loved, and still do have my moments with. Andy Andy Eyecandy, best guns on the planet, and I blushed the day he lent over me and asked if there was anything interesting in Beat that day(he smelt sooo good!). I'm meant to forget idiotic moments like that right?
Or the night that my bar crush took me aside and told me he wanted to chain me up and spank me(oh please don't let my mum read this!), he disgustingly enough had/has a girlfriend. I decided against going near the bar again, on the grounds that he was a sleeze! Sad though, as they make the best hot chocolate on the planet, and his specialty was strawberry daquari's, and they were goood!
There's the Punters, gone and lost. The amazing gigs I saw there, I shan't forget(The Meanies, Klinger, and Mrs Pinkwhistle, BEST GIG EVER!!!!), and I'll never forget the last night of drunken frivolity.
Nights at the Evelyn(or the evilyn, depending on what happens really!), Pop, punk, giggles, and great music. Unforunately I never got to go to the Ev' before it was reno'd, so no old school "I remember when the stage was at the front of the room" stuff from me.
The Vegie Bar, which I like, but used to love, they have gotten better, there was a period of blah though. The food wasn't as good.
Joe's Garage, great food, and lovely staff. I've never had bad food, or not felt relaxed or at home there.
Red Tongue, food good, staff lovely, good for a Sat/Sun morn brunch.
The Hideout, I miss, with all my sweet lil heart. Well I miss when Mary was managing it.
Akari 77, great Japanese food! I loooovvveee it!
Red Rice was okay.
Nights at Bar Open, lordy lord. Sometimes it's bizarre. Okay embarrassing admission, I licked a random boys tattoo there one night, not sure why, safe to say that copious amounts of beer had been consumed!
The Spanish Club ❤ . My first night at Spanish Club, was the night that Tripod won me over. Was Radiohead night too. I remember 3 distinct moments that night, 2nd Drawer Down going for faarrrrrrr too long, The Gatesy Brigade sitting in front of me getting confused by the Tron joke, and me laughing my arse off, and The Gatsey Brigade hunting Gatesy down at the end of the night. I had honestly never seen a group of girls swarm a man so fast in my life. Well apart from Chris from TLE, but even they seemed not as vulturish. I said I wasn't going to be one of those gals, technically I wasn't, but I did kind of, in my own special way! I should go and see them again, am waiting for the rock opera we've been promised!
The Rob Roy, ahh so many good gigs! I've seen some great gigs there. I walked through the other night on my way to Trades, its different, and there were lots of business attired people in there. Where the hell is the band room now? Sad to see they couldn't fix that steep stoop into the gals toilets, I've nearly fallen down that thing a billion times!!
Brunswick Street Bookstore <3!
Sheila Vintage, the new vintage shop, they actually have some nice stuff!
Polyester Books and Music… mmmm
Grub St books.
The list goes on, I should be living in Fitzroy.
If home is where the heart is, then I lost mine in Fitzroy.

ASHEVILLE, N.C. – UNC Asheville women's swimming coach Elizabeth Lykins today announced the hiring of former Texas A&M standout Rebecca (Sturdy) Westfall as the program's newest assistant coach.
"I am excited to add Rebecca to our Bulldog Swimming Family," stated Lykins. "Her extensive knowledge of swimming technique will be an excellent asset on pool deck. Her enthusiasm and work ethic is a perfect fit for our program."
A biomechanics and technique specialist, Westfall brings a variety of experience to the Asheville program. She is currently writing a series of articles on kinetic energy and movement through the water that are published on SwimSwam.com.
Westfall has been an assistant coach under Andrew Pulsifer at Warren Wilson College the past two years. In addition, she served as the Interim Head Coach and Aquatics Director at Emory & Henry College during the 2011-12 campaign.
Her first collegiate coaching position came at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colo., where she was the Director of Swimming and Aquatics for two years. During her tenure, Westfall created the first-ever women's team and brought back the men's program for the first time since the 1970's.
While at Texas A&M, Westfall was an eight-time all-American, nine-time Big XII champion and 2004 Big XII Newcomer of the Year. As a freshman won the 100 and 200 backstroke events and anchored the 400 and 800 free relays in 2004, winning the Aggies' first-ever relay conference titles. She suffered shoulder injuries as a sophomore and junior, but rallied to make a senior comeback. In 2007, Westfall won the 100 butterfly and took second in the 50 free, which helped the Aggie squad to the school's first-ever team Big XII title and an eighth-place finish nationally.
During her fifth-year, Westfall served as a student assistant coach for one semester at Texas A&M and worked with Olympians, Julia Wilkinson (Canada), Triin Aliiand (Estonia) Alia Atkinson (Jamaica), and Christine Marshall (USA) as well as U.S. National Team member Kristen Heiss.
The above is a press release submitted by UNC-Asheville.

Guided by cognitive, socio-cognitive, and socio-cultural learning theories, large-scale studies over multiple semesters, multiple instructors and at two different institutions have been performed in order to understand the factors that contribute to student performance in general organic chemistry. Students' cognitive abilities were assessed in a new way based on a categorization of problem types in a standard organic chemistry curriculum. Problem types that required higher cognitive load were found to be more predictive of overall course performance. However, student performance on high cognitive load problems was different when compared in terms of non-cognitive factors, e.g. whether they were pre-health students …
