Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) – This movie is undoubtedly one of the most original, though-provoking American films of the last decade. Charlie Kaufman, the endlessly creative screenwriter of such unique films as Being John Malkovich and Synechdoche, New York, here creates another audacious work of stunning depth, emotion, and intelligence. French director Michel Gondry, known for his inventive visual style, was the perfect director to bring this story to life.
In Eternal Sunshine, Dr. Howard Miezwiak (Tom Wilkinson) develops a new procedure which makes it possible to erase bad memories from the minds of clients. In this society where people regularly indulge in plastic surgery and liposuction, why should memory alteration be any different? Early in the film, Joel Barish (Jim Carey) solicits Dr. Miezwiak's services to wipe from his mind the memories of his ex-girlfriend Clementine (Kate Winslet). While Joel is asleep during the course of the procedure, however, his subconscious awakens and fights to preserve his cherished memories.
To go into further detail regarding the plot would be futile. This film has to be seen for its vast scope to be fully comprehended. One thing in particular that struck me after recently re-watching it was how determined it is to not dodge the hard questions it poses. Many movies with interesting premises like this don't follow their ideas all the way through to their logical conclusions, but this one does. Kaufman won an Oscar for his remarkable writing, and Winslet, who plays a figment of Joel's memory for the majority of the film, was also nominated for her tremendous work. It may be a bit quirky for some tastes, but I highly recommend giving it a chance.

All characters are free to be used in any RPs
Name: Rygar
Age: 36
Gender: male
Race: dwarf
Profession: Inquisitor
-- I know, but this is how I've described Rygar for years and now that there's a picture for him, I couldn't resist
Background: Rygar was found on the doorstep of the Church of Mother Earth in the Dwarven Kingdom of Rock Peak and was taken into their care. He spent his life growing up learning the traditions and honor of the Dwarven people, which fascinated him far more than the teachings of Mother Earth. This leads many to believe he was the son of a poor miner, or someone working closely with the stone. He was given the choice of donning the sacred beliefs of Mother Earth as a cleric or to strike out into the world as an inquisitor for his people. He of course, choose the latter, relishing the opportunity to see the world and learn the place his people had in it. Countless adventures into dangerous ruins and heart pounding hunts after powerful beasts and dangerous people made his life as exciting as he could have hoped. He has been at it for nearly 25 years and loves each and every expedition.
He has made many friends in his travels and has a place to call home in nearly every town, usually just at the taverns for being such a loyal customer. The only thing he cherishes more than the adventure, is a tall pint of ale and the merry company of the hearty townsfolk. Currently, Rygar has been sent out by the church to track down and bring to justice a dwarf that has been accused of murder and fled rather than face the charges. Normally, a job that would be passed to another, but given that the victim was a member of the church and a good friend, he volunteered for the hunt and has eagerly set out.
Personality: Rygar is courageous, rarely ever backing down from a fight unless it's clear there is a better option. He has always been loyal to the few that he has called friends and tends to stick to his teachings from the church. This causes him to have little care for death. He doesn't like to kill, but believes it is fate that puts you in the way of his blade and holds no remorse for the lives he takes. Like most dwarves, he has a distrust for Humans and Elves and a hatred for Orcs. Never able to turn a blind eye to injustice, his conscience has often landed him in trouble, but his skill with a blade is enough to get him out. An opinionated and fun-loving Dwarf, those that know him have nothing but kind things to say...mostly.
Pros: Skilled swordsman and fair bowman. Knowledgeable of lore around the land. Hardy stature allows strength when needed. Ties with church grant some improved status in Dwarven culture. Knowledgeable of mechanics and traps.
Cons: Generally not trusted among humans and elves. Solitary status can make him an outcast to his people. Short stature limits mobility and hardy physique makes sneaking difficult. Not great in political situations.
Equipment: Wears what's in the appearance. He wields a bow and arrow and a longsword for when things get close. He has an amulet around his neck that is a symbol of his church and is supposed to ward off dark magic. Otherwise, just basic adventuring supplies, tent, rations, etc.

Name: Syrona Ortiz
Age: 23
Race: Imperial
Weapon: Imperial Bow and Steel Arrows
-- Talented Marksman
-- Trapping and Poison
-- Hunter Outfit (in pic)
-- Imperial Bow
-- Steel Arrow x30
-- Iron Dagger (for skinning animals)
-- Paralysis Poison x3
-- Flint
-- Med-kit (Bandages, thread, needle, health potion)
Job/Profession: Hunter
-- Deadly with a bow
-- Knows the woods well, where to hunt, what to eat, etc.
-- Many friends throughout Skyrim
-- Struggles in close combat
-- No knowledge of magic and the arcane arts
-- Curiousity killed the cat
Syrona was born to post-war Skyrim and has therefore not seen it in its darkest times. Her father was a member of the Legion and took part in the civil war. As a young girl, he told her stories about the Dragonborn and the war that plagued Skyrim. Every night she would sit by the fire as her father danced in the light, acting out the great battles he was in and some he likely wasn't. She was entralled by the glory of the Legion and the adventures of the Dragonborn. She made a vow to grow up a great warrior and live out her own legend. But, eventually you grow up. No new wars came to Tamriel. No dragons poured from the mountains. Life was as it always had been for decades before the Stormcloak Rebellion.
Since those days, she has travelled the land and has almost forgotten the dark themes and adventure her father tried to plant in her head. She has been on her own for years, using her father's bow to make a name for herself as a hunter. She mostly took the path in order to travel across Skyrim and see all that it had to offer. She tends to spend months in a single town or city, hunting in the forests and mountains nearby and then selling the pelts and meat to the locals. Always friendly and fair on her prices, she has made many friends in the villages she travels and is usually welcomed wherever she has been. Occassionally her skill set is contracted for other affairs, such as clearing monsters or hunting fugitives. As long is the pay is good and her work betters Skyrim, she is always happy to help. Curious in nature, Syrona sometimes finds herself in trouble with the guards for 'asking to many questions' or 'snooping around where she ought not to'.
After accompanying some mages from the College of Winterhold to clear out a pesky Frost Troll in the area, she decided she had enough of the constant snowing and travelled south. She picked a small town that she had yet to visit, Tearstead, and made for the new village. The trip came with it's own worries. Many of the small villages across Skyrim were under attack by this Bandit King and Tearstead could end up being one of them. However, after three weeks in the small village, no attack came. Her fears of Bandit raids became non-existant and her simple life continued, uninterrupted as a temporary citizen of Tearstead. And another day of hunting was underway...

Name: Ryder
Sex: Male
Age: 8
Pack: Neala
Persona: Ryder is a loyal member of the Neala pack. He has never cared for fights or to take the role as Alpha, since they tend not to last long. He is cunning and courageous. While he doesn't look for a fight, he'll never back down from the Faro and expects the same from the rest of the Neala. He sees himself as a guardian of the Sions and does all that he can to protect the race. He tends to keep good contact with Naava who shares a similar philosophy

Name: Florin "Syn" Moria
Age: 23
Gender: Female
Race: Halfling
Profession: The Wolf Witch
Background: Florin Moria was born to a simple healer in the Halfling village of Suncrest Hill and was learning to follow her mother's foot steps. One night when she was just 10, the village learned that Florin's mother had been practicing in dark arts and believed her to be possessed by a demon of the other realms. Fearing for their lives, Florin's mother took her deep into the forest to hide among the darkness that engulfed it. It was there, in a simple hut among the trees, that Florin continued her studies of magic and grew up to be quite the healer. The forest became her passion and she fought daily to help purge it of the evil that bred in its wood. However, no matter how hard she tried, the forest could not be healed. It wasn't until she was much older that Florin learned her mother truly was the monster that the village accused her of being and that her connection with demonic forces was preventing the forest from healing. With a heavy heart, Florin demanded her mother to leave and never return. With the source of evil gone, the forest began to heal.
One harsh winter forced Florin to work longer than normal in the forest and she wound up being spotted by a group of hunters. They mistook her for her mother and chased her through the trees. The forest came to her rescue. A pack of wolves emerged from the trees and attacked the hunters. They had only intended to scare them off, but in the scuffle a hunter was killed. The surviving Halflings fled back to Suncrest Hill and spread the stories of the dark magic she used to taint the forest and how Florin commands the forest to kill all who enter it. They also gave her a new name, Syn. Now, the years have passed and little has changed. Most in the world now know her as Syn, the Wolf Witch, and fear to tread anywhere near her 'cursed' woods. In reality, the forest is prospering and she often travels beyond the safety of the trees to provide healing services to the surrounding villages. It has been so long that nobody remembers her and she can usually pass through freely without being recognized.
Personality: Bubbly and out-going, 'Syn' is far from what the rumors say about her. She loves all living creatures in the world and despises the manipulative demons that plague the other realms. Her time in the forest has given her a connection with animals that forces her to take preference to their lives as opposed to a humanoids. A bit naive due to her time in solitude, her trips to town often end in her getting scammed one way or another. She can often get lost in thought and remain quiet for minutes and then randomly spew out the point she is at in her thought process. Many towns that don't recognize her as the Wolf Witch describe her as the mental girl that wanders from town to town.
Pros: Talented in healing magic, knowledgable of other magics. Short and light on her feet, an excellent choice for stealth. Can 'communicate' with animals through emotion and understanding.
Cons: Reputation that causes hostility, not well versed in combat magic, socially akward, easy to take advantage of.
Equipment: Everything in appearance pic, carries around runes that she discovers on her journeys (she doesn't know what they do, just likes the 'artwork' on them)

As you read in my Back to Basics post, I'm trying to be more eco-friendly, more healthy and more self-sufficient. With that in mind, I present this recipe for Homemade Granola with no refined sugars.
When you think granola, you usually associate it with "healthy." And when made properly, granola can have a great balance of whole grains, protein and carbohydrates which provide a nutritious, healthy snack, especially when combined with yogurt or fruit. However, most commercial granolas are high in processed sugar and carbohydrates. They also get a bad rap for being high in fat, however the fat should be good, heart healthy fat from nuts.
This recipe, which I got from The Paper Mama blog, is granola as it's intended to be. Full of almonds, sunflower seeds and oats, and sweetened with honey and no sugar-added applesauce, it's absolutely delicious. I love to put some in my yogurt to give it some crunch and extra protein.
Homemade Granola (via The Paper Mama)
- 7 cups old-fashioned oats*
- 1.5 cups slivered almonds (can be food processed to make smaller pieces)
- 0.5 cups shelled sunflower seeds (can bee food processed to make smaller pieces)
- 1.5 cups shredded coconut**
- 3 T cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/8 tsp ground ginger
- 3 T pure vanilla
- 1.5 cups no sugar added applesauce
- 1/4 cup honey
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl. Combine all wet ingredients in a separate bowl. Add wet ingredients to dry and mix well. Granola should be slightly moist. If it seems dry, add a little more applesauce
Divide the granola between 2 baking sheets and spread it out evenly. Bake for 40-50 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure even cooking. Allow to cool completely before storing.
* I used quick-cooking oats. They're smaller and lighter, and didn't get particularly crispy, so I think I'll try old-fashioned oats next time.
** I forgot to put the coconut in! I was so sad because I didn't realize until it was done cooking. It still tastes wonderful, but I think the little bits of toasted coconut would really kick it up a notch.

This story, had it come out a bit earlier, would have been the perfect Labor Day special. It is not what the AFL-CIO union bosses want its membership to hear. We all recall President Obama standing on the podium with Richard Trumka and the other labor chieftains, railing about the need to "take out" the Republicans, and give the workingman the dignity, salaries and other perks they need to end income inequality and to become empowered. "Tax the rich," they all scream—apply the "Buffet law" and see to it that the regular employee pay a lower tax than the greedy billionaire, who like Buffet, sets up businesses, employs people who earn a living, and yet supposedly engages in no activity of a worthwhile nature except to see to it that he personally gets rich. As old Karl Marx might have once said, confiscate the property of the bourgeoisie, redistribute the wealth to the working class, and allow them to become the masters of society.
Well, it seems that Marx's dream is coming true in Chicago, but not exactly in the manner in which he thought it would occur. No social revolution, no mass movement, no movement of the working class to power through the long march through the existing institutions that the Gramscian New Left once proposed. Instead, it is taking place through the long evolved mechanism of Chicago style corruption, developed over the years by the Daley senior machine in the city that started Barack Obama on his way to political power.
So kudos to The Chicago Tribune for breaking this news to its readers, who can now ask Mayor Rahm Emanuel to do something to change the political culture, now that he is the local leader, having gained the post after leaving his city for White House service, and returning to it with having used national duty to obtain what previously had eluded him—the top political spot in his home town.
So here is the news. For a former labor boss named Dennis Gannon, it has now been revealed, "the keys to securing a public pension were one day on the city payroll and some help from the Daley administration.
The story goes on to note that "his city pension is more than modest. It's the highest of any retired union leader: $158,000. That's roughly five times greater than what the typical retired city worker receives." You have not misread this figure. It is so high that it is usually forbidden by Federal limits to what one can get in a pension, so the Daley machine had to file a special request with the IRS to allow him to get it. If you owe them some back taxes, simply do the same next time. Give them this story, and file a "special request." But don't count on it, unless you live in Chicago and know Rahm very well!
The Tribune goes further, spelling out the significance of the deal, way beyond what it meant for Mr. Gannon. They explain:
Gannon's inflated pension is a prime example of how government officials and labor leaders have manipulated city pension funds at the expense of union workers and taxpayers. Like other labor leaders, he was able to take a long leave from a city job to work for a union and then receive a city pension based on a high union salary.
But in a new twist, a Tribune/WGN-TV investigation has found that Gannon is eligible for the lucrative pension deal only because City Hall rehired the former Streets and Sanitation Department worker for a single day in 1994, then granted him an indefinite leave of absence.
We used to call this a "sweetheart deal," an arrangement going way beyond the old "double dipping" which takes place when a city worker retires and then is hired by another city agency to earn a full-time salary on top of his already high union pension. Why really work at a new job, Gannon figured out, when all he has to do is work one day and get the equivalent salary for the rest of his life? Yeah, evidently it is legal, and he took what he could get. But unlike the Warren Buffets of the world, who hire people and set up businesses, he is giving nothing to anyone but himself. As he probably says, "nothing is too good for the working class," especially when they can use the system and not have to work at all.
Oh, and he is described as "one of the most powerful" labor leaders in Chicago, a man who became president of the Chicago Federation of Labor, sitting therefore in AFL-CIO Executive Board meetings for years, where he could help plan national labor strategy and work out deals with Democratic White Houses to advance union power, or work to oust a Republican executive branch by buffing up the national union's lobbying force.
But wait, it gets better. Look at the following:
Until last year, that pension came on top of Gannon's union salary, which had grown to more than $240,000. He now draws the pension while working for a hedge fund, Grosvenor Capital Management, that does work with public pensions, including the Teachers Retirement System of Illinois. The firm also was one of Mayor Rahm Emanuel's largest campaign contributors.
Doesn't look like Rahm will do anything about this, does it? Well, at least you now know how the system works. Call it "socialism for the union leaders" if you will; at least you know what really motivates their activism—and it isn't concern for the well-being of the rank-and-file. Next time you want to know what hedge fund managers do, just think of Comrade Gannon, the workingman's rep in Chicago.
Mr. Gannon, it seems, is not too embarrassed about this revelation. He released this statement to the press:
"I am extremely proud of my many years of service to the city of Chicago and the working men and women of organized labor," Gannon wrote. "I have always followed the pension laws governed by the state of Illinois statute as well as the city of Chicago municipal pension plan."
Or, you might say, manipulate the laws so that the people you put in power through giving workers' funds to the campaign, then pass laws that can be used by those who arranged the deal to put it through. If you want to know why setting up a PAC through a union funded by contributions that are not voluntary is so corrupt, especially when done by public sector unions, you have no better evidence at hand than this.
The city will have trouble investigating this deal, since it was made over 16 years ago, and the details seem not to be available. Those who arranged it, obviously, did what they had to do to make the evidence about who arranged it and how it was done rather hard to find. Covering up the tracks is something at which Chicago pols have become more than adept.
How Gannon worked the system is spelled out in detail. Look at this:
With his pay increasing at a steady clip, Gannon sought to get back into the municipal pension fund in 1998. To do so, he would need to restore the money he had previously taken out and start making regular contributions again as if he were a city employee. He would also have to cover the contributions that normally come from the city.
And, readers learn, he was able to do all this by getting city help, by simply writing a letter to then Mayor Richard Daley! So a man who as a union leader worked regularly for Daley's election then writes a letter to score an unbelievable pension for doing nothing but pretending through shuffling of forms to have worked one day at a job he never engaged in at all!
As for Gannon, don't worry. Each year he gets 3 per cent more to adjust for inflation. You don't want this working class-hero to suffer, do you?
Read this and weep for what happened to organized labor in this great country of ours.

Last week Ken Ham addressed BioLogos specifically in a blog post, in response to Daniel Hamlin's testimony told in our blog on October 14th.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.
... I would exhort these, my fellow conservative evangelical shepherds and thinkers, to set aside all reticence and fear, emerge from anonymity, and storm the forum of discourse, engaging this most pressing matter with vigor, equanimity, and humility. In doing so, know upfront that there will be few handrails to guide; you will not be building upon an extensive precedence of published conservative thought.
In this video Conversation, Denis Alexander asserts that contemporary Christians are not taking the early chapters of Genesis seriously enough.
(Needs a summary)
Yesterday, biology professors Randy Moore and Sehoya Cotner raised the concern that workshops focused on evolution-related training do not reach creationism-based biology teachers. Today, we'd like to focus on BioLogos' efforts to address that divide through our Biology by the Sea workshops.
High school biology courses have a strong and lingering impact on students' views of evolution and creationism.
This ongoing series written by historian Ted Davis begins with a brief synopsis of his personal background, and then goes on to reveal his passion for debunking "the now-common view that the history of science and Christianity is one of ongoing, inevitable conflict."
In this five-part series, David Williams responds to the book The Magician's Twin: C.S. Lewis on Science, Scientism, and Society by John West and the Discovery Institute, showing that C.S. Lewis was a very complicated thinker whose views are hard to line up exactly with any camp in the current debates over the compatibility of Christian faith and evolutionary science.
If God himself is willing to die, particularly in such a gruesome way, then perhaps we should at least consider the possibility of God allowing the death of other creatures, too. But would this really be compatible with what we know of God through Scripture?
In this series, U.S. Navy Commander Mike Beidler shares his own personal journey from accepting young-earth creationism to embracing evolutionary creationism.
In this series, we reexamine the claim made by Intelligent Design proponent Michael Behe to have found a limit to "Darwinian" evolution in light of recent results from the laboratory of Richard Lenski.
The tension generated by our understanding of God's character, as revealed in the Bible, and by the reality of the natural world around us has been the focus of much debate within the Christian church since the first century. This series examines critically several of the proposed solutions to this problem, viewing them from the perspective of a geologist, paleontologist, and orthodox evangelical Christian.
It may come as a surprise that when asked by The Colossian Forum what one thing he would like to hear Young Earth Creationists say, his answer had nothing to do with scientific statements at all. Rather, his hope is to hear a single simple phrase: "We're both part of the same family."
As he endeavored to learn more, David was intrigued by Francis Collins book The Language of God because Francis did not present evolution as a rival theory to Christian faith, but as something that described God's method of creation.
The debate is often not about evidence, but about making sure that others do not transgress our interpretive boundaries and insist that we're wrong. We've bitten from the tree of knowledge and we love its taste.
The BioLogos Foundation explains to the findings of the Encyclopedia of DNA Elements (ENCODE) project and responds to the claims that its discoveries challenge the theory of evolution, especially regarding so-called "junk DNA".
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Resilient learners and a robust faith can handle challenges. But the faith of the students my professor described was different— strong, but brittle; it did not have the resilience that comes through testing.

The many Heaths - LOL!
Re: Jane/Jennie - I did see that on her birth record, but her gravestone (as well as numerous other records, such as her children's birth records) show her as Jennie, so I left that in the name field, and put a note in the bio section about Jane.
Re: Herbert Chase - I picked up the Boston as birthplace from one of his children's birth records, but I just looked through some more, and did see Lawrence on another, so I'm sure you're correct and I've made the change.
Sometimes it's hard to know which spelling or form of a name to use. I've tried to do the best I could, and tend toward what's on the grave marker (so that the Find A Grave police won't come after me - LOL!).
Glad I could help a little. Willis was a bit of a challenge, but the thing that finally clicked was a probate document from King's County, New York, which gave his death date, his wife's name and also his brother's. There was enough there that matched other records to confirm that it was the correct Willis, but he was certainly elusive. :-)

Re: Carl & Marie (Parkhurst) Heath
I've just added the second marker - Carlos and Marie's son Edward C., his wife, and their two children with their spouses.
You can follow all the links from Carlos' memorial:

Re: Parkhurst in Whitinsville
Success! My husband (who used to sit in the car while I photographed) has finally gotten interested in my gravestone documenting and is helping me. That's great news for me - the good news for you is that he LOVES Pine Grove Cemetery, so (hoping to keep him interested) I've been going there a lot lately. And I found Marie Antoinette (Parkhurst) Heath and her husband Carlos - along with a bunch of their children.
Just finished entering everyone on their BIG family marker. I have another Heath family (smaller marker) to do, too, which must have been in the same section. After lunch, I'll take a look.
On the big marker are Carlos and Marie, three children that died young, their daughter who married a Browning and her son and daughter-in-law, another daughter who married a Gardiner, and a son who lived to adulthood.
I did enough research to be able to connect them. As always, if you find more that you'd like added, feel free to send an SAC via the Edit tab.
If the other family connects in, I'll let you know. :-)
Happy hunting!

RE: John Getty
You are very welcome. Are there any other people that I have that would make sense for you to manage? My goal is to get as many people in Oakland Cemetery back to their families as possible. When (if) we ever get done with the majority of Oakland the Sauk Centre Area Historical Society is moving on to Lyman Prairie Cemetery.
Thank you for all you've added to "my" Oakland people!

In search of Nessie....and Edinburgh Rock
I feel as though I have travelled from late Winter through to early Summer on my journey from Loch Ness to Letchworth. Leaves and petals seemed to unfurl before my eyes, and as I look at the abundant foliage here I am thinking of the plentiful snow still clinging to Ben Nevis. So, after a week in Scotland I feel disorientated but happy to be home.
My head is spinning with pictures and ideas, memories of warm hospitality, long distances travelled, and the magnificent contrast between nature and civilisation.
Whenever I travel I think long and hard about what I should take with me to sketch. I remember many disasterous trips when my tools seemed ill suited to the occasion. I suppose a bad craftsman blames his tools, but from struggling with fountain pens designed for waterproof ink (they never work) at the Bolshoi Theatre in Moscow, or regretting the embarrasingly large sketchbooks I took to New York (talk about drawing attention to oneself), I have made every mistake imaginable.
This time my main challange was time. The weekend was busy with a workshop for adults, two storytelling sessions at the National Gallery of Scotland, all superbly orchestrated by Linda McClelland at the gallery. It was exciting and a bit overwhelming to see the exhibition at last, perfectly realised. And to see families enjoying the "Katie trail". As always, Linda was kindness itself and it is only because of her vision and enthusiasm that it all came to fruition. This was followed the next day by a whistlestop tour of the city of Edinburgh. My stalwart editor discreetly left me to sketch the courtyard inside Edinburgh Castle, only to later spot me being approached by an Australian couple, who delightedly told me of how they had counted the bricks in an engraving of some historiocal building in Britain, which they then checked against the real thing. Suddenly my weedy sketch of the castle looked even more disappointing. But I rallied when I reminded myself that this was a study for an illustration not an architecturally accurate record!
Early next morning, I managed two studies of the exterior castle, one with a fibre-tipped pen, one with pencil. Otherwise I used brushes with ink or paint (in fact brush pens, great for speed).
Later on, as I took the spectacular rail journey (I can't call it a trip; it's too fabulous) to Fort William, I tried sketching vertiginous mountains from a rattly old train. Sometimes the train was slow (I don't normally rejoice at such a circumstance, but this time I did), and I also filled in some detail from memory (or from other mountains). They are "impressions". I used the brush pens again and also some white oil pastel for resist and some lightening.
If anything, the bus journey from Fort William to Loch Ness is even more impressive. At Loch Ness I had time but less inclination to sketch, as I wanted to walk and explore. What a fabulously dark and moody place the Loch is, and I was very pleased that the ruins of Urquhart castle had not been "recreated", but left largely to the imagination.
I promised I would post any half-decent sketches. Not sure which half of them is any good, but they are incredibly valuable to me, both as reference and as a reminder of a really exciting expedition. I have wanted to visit Loch Ness since I was about 5 years old. It took over 40 years, but a little dream has come true. And Nessie? No, she didn't turn up for me. But I will say how the water of the Loch - which is miles long of course and exceptionally deep - was full of strange currents and surface pattens, dark shadows and ripples. A little imagination could have created a monster out of any of them.
So... onwards with Katie in Scotland. I have now largely rewritten the story and begun storyboarding the plan and the whole experience has filled me with enthusiasm and wide-eyed wonder for Nessie, Edinburgh, Scotland and how they will all appear in the book...

A lovely post, James and great sketches. The castle looks fabulous up there on its ancient volcano. The scary australian couple with their brick-counting fetish sound like a right laugh!
I went to Loch Ness once and spent some time skimming chocolate digestives out across the waters in hopes of enticing Nessie. I can reveal that the Monster is not attracted to chocolate.- Anonymous1 May 2010 15:42
I'm glad you had a good time in Scotland! I felt very inspired by your workshop. Sorry I didn't have time to stop and chat at the NGS on Wednesday. We'd had a completely wonderful but utterly exhausting day with the visually impaired artists' group, drawing and painting with a dancer all day - the hardest part was finding everyone's taxis to go home! I will look out for your drawings of Nessie. Did you see any spooks in the Old Town? All the best, Emily
ReplyDelete Thanks Thomas. the digestives were all gone... perhaps Nessie snaffled them later on!
Hi Nicola, good to hear from you. I guess I spent longest on the exterior castle drawings... it was early, so no Australians to ask me to count bricks!
Emily, it was lovely to see you at the workshop and fleetingly on wednesday. Don't worry about not chatting, I could see you were busy. i was having a last little look around before coming home. It was a great experience and I loved meeting everyone at the workshop. Loved your cards too and I wish you luck with publishers. =I'll keep my ear to the ground in case I hear of anything useful for you...Scotland is pure great. Can't believe I went three years without visiting all my pals- though that's what happens when you make enemies and suffer from extreme paranoia! ho ho ho!! I had a job interview at Hallmark the day after I got back and they assumed I was Scottish- I'd picked up the accent. Obviously I didn't get the job because they were xenophobic.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great time. Urquhart Castle was probably a great deal more 'atmospheric' than when we visited last August - it was absolutely FULL of tourists and necessary to queue to go up, or down, the tower stairs. I've visited Loch Ness many times but the nearest I've come to Nessie (apart from the exhibitions in Drumnadrochit) was seeing the Monster Hunting Expedition back in the 60s.
ReplyDeleteHi Amy. It's a hard accent to master... but I'm still saying Aye and Wee, so even I have absorbed a little Scottishness! It is a fabulous country, I love it.
Lyn, that's great to think the book will be useful. the riddles sound like great fun.
Mary, I suppose that's the advantage of going out of season - I had the castle to myself for the first hour. But the Monster Hunting expedition sounds fab. I'd have loved to see that!Your sketches are wonderful, cooler then the photos! I love the comments you get and the analyisis, when you dare to sit down and sketch- counting the bricks-tops anything anyone has said to me. I limit myself to a small box of colored markers and a selection of sized black felt tip pens- get too overwhelmned with choicies otherwise.

One of the most popular brands of infant formula is being recalled due to possible bug contamination.
Drugmaker Abbott Laboratories announced Wednesday it would voluntarily recall more than a million containers of its Similac-brand formula because it suspects the formula may be contaminated with bug parts.
The recall includescertain Similac powder product lines offered in plastic containers and in 8-ounce, 12.4-ounce and 12.9-ounce cans.
Though the U.S. Food and Drug Administration determined there wasn't an immediate health risk, there is a possibility that babies who ingest the formula could experience symptoms of gastrointestinal upset.
To immediately find out if the product in your possession is included in this recall, parents and caregivers should visit www.similac.com/recall/lookup, and type in their lot number to determine if their product is affected, or call (800) 986-8850.
Manufacturers have said that liquid formulas are not impacted by the recall.

The fortress of Intramuros, Manila
Translated from Spanish for "within the walls", the 400-year old city called Intramuros was once the seat of power in the Philippines. Within its walls, Intramuros displayed the best of Spain in the newly conquered archipelago of the Philippines.
Intramuros was designed after a star fort (very flat structure composed of many triangular bastions, specifically designed to cover each other, and a ditch). Surrounded by 8 feet thick stone walls that rise up to 22 feet, the city was built to protect the Spanish government and citizens from raiding Chinese pirates.
But the city was also a picture of how …read more

Can Apple mobile devices successfully integrate into the various corporate cultures of your customers' businesses? Solution providers need to ensure user satisfaction as well productivity in order to make the deployment of Apple devices into the enterprise a success. Here, Hart, CEO of Tekserve, offers seven tips for a successful implementation.— Jennifer D. Bosavage
The concept of iOS in the enterprise is fairly new, so much so that little exists in the way of a roadmap or case study on how to perform a successful implementation. The work that some forward-thinking organizations have already done shows that the goal of integrating and managing Apple devices can be achieved. Those thriving projects follow best practices that can help IT admins manage and secure their iOS deployments.
1. Develop a mobile management strategy as early as possible
The importance of mobile management can't be overstated, especially for an IT department concerned about data security. It requires careful thinking about the specific goals you want the devices to serve, including asking questions about the tools and policies that will be implemented. Will IT push out Exchange profiles? What apps does the organization want on each device? What will the model within the MDM environment look like? Those answers should be balanced with the need to ensure user satisfaction and productivity – which is one of the primary reasons to bring Apple devices into the enterprise.
The key here is control – IT departments want it, but mobile users aren't going to put up with too many restrictions. That's where mobile management comes in. Using it, managers can exert greater control over the security and use of the devices on their networks, while still providing employees with the tools they want to increase productivity and satisfaction.
2. Re-think the approach to security
CIOs, justifiably concerned that an unauthorized party will get a hold of crucial corporate data, will take every necessary step to lock iOS devices down and ensure that no copies of documents, spreadsheets or other data leave the corporate network. Often they'll use tools, such as sandbox environments, to complement their MDM tools and add an extra layer of protection.
That is a very traditional IT way of thinking, and if there's anything Apple has made clear, it's that these are not traditional IT tools.
So while the desire to lock down devices to the point of limiting user access to the full functionality is understandable, it's also not the best way to ensure worker productivity and satisfaction. A more constructive route is to consider why the organization (or its employees) invested in iOS in the first place, and think about how the approach to security can support these goals.
When setting security policies around these devices, think about the value of data, what types of information need to be secured, and whether sacrificing certain protocols in the interest of user access to device functionality might be desirable.
3. Don't go it alone
Though the concept of Apple in the enterprise may strike some as fairly new, it has been successfully done before. Knowing this, it's important to seek outside help when looking to do a first, big implementation or even a pilot project.
The common belief is that, especially when it comes to pilots, an organization does not need outside help because it is just dipping a toe in the water with a few devices. But the truth is just the opposite. Since the pilot will likely be used to determine the feasibility of a widespread rollout, it's critical that all potential scenarios are accounted for to ensure success.

Cheap hotels in Gare Du Nord, Paris
Neighborhood Description
If you're arriving in Paris via train from the north (Amsterdam, Copenhagen, London, etc.), there is a chance that the Gare du Nord will be your first impression of Paris. The station itself is located in the 10th arrondissement. It's the grandest of the 19th century train stations, boxed in by major traffic thoroughfares the Boulevard de Magenta and the Boulevard de La Chapelle. The area has little to offer on the cultural or historical front. It does, however, boast an abundance of transportation options and budget hotels. The incredible diversity of the neighborhood is also reflected in its exotic shops, where anything from plantains to halal meat to organic groceries can be found.

I'm the CEO of a B2B startup. Been around almost 1 year and we already have a decent piece of software, 2 clients and are profitable. Not hugely so, but enough to pay the bills.
To scale to the next level I need a CTO. Have a good guy I know and am working out what to offer.
- Salary: Could possibly pay up to $2k / month (initially 3 days a week). More as we gain clients.
- Equity: No idea here. Product idea was mine and I have grown the company by myself, but need a business partner. 5/10/15/20/25% more? I guess considering the low salary, more equity will be necessary
- Anything else I can / should offer?

Serving Central Nebraska Since 1982.
Reston, VA (June 6, 2012) - The American Board of Audiology® is pleased to announce the 14 audiologists who recently obtained the Pediatric Audiology Specialty Certification™ (PASC) credential.
Class of April 2012
Amal Ghabril Awdeh, AuD — Boston, MA
Kenneth A. Bodkin, AuD — West Nyack, NY
Amy Catanzaro, AuD — Williamsburg, MA
Stacy D. Claycomb, AuD — Aurora, CO
Patricia E. Connelly, PhD — Mahwah, NJ
Cheryl A. Edwards, AuD — Ashland, MA
Susan M. Gibbons, AuD — Boston, MA
Amanda M. Marchegiani, AuD — Jessup, PA
Barbara A. Morris, AuD — Greenfield, MA
Cynthia L. Nulton, MA — Norwich, VT
Erin V. Pospychala, MS — Wilmot, NH
Georgette Schroeder, MS — Bensenville, IL
Gail M. Whitelaw, PhD — Columbus, OH
Karen D. Willson, AuD — Bedford, MA
To earn the PASC credential, candidates must first submit an application satisfying professional experience and education requirements. Successful applicants must next pass a challenging examination that covers seven pediatric audiology knowledge domains: Laws and Regulations, Hearing and Hearing Loss, Child Development, Screening and Assessment Procedures, Counseling, Communication Enhancement Technology, and Habilitation/Rehabilitation Strategies. Only those who are able to achieve the passing examination score earn the PASC credential. Once earned, the certification must be renewed every three years through 60 hours of continuing education, 30 of which must be specific to pediatric audiology.
Launched in 2011, the PASC was developed to elevate professional standards in pediatric audiology, enhance individual performance, and recognize those professionals who have acquired specialized knowledge in the field of pediatric audiology. An esteemed group of pediatric audiologists served as subject matter experts and worked in conjunction with a nationally recognized measurement consulting firm, Human Resources Research Organization (HumRRO), to develop the new specialty program under the auspices of the American Board of Audiology.
"The PASC is a mark of professional distinction and reflects an individual's thorough understanding of what it takes to practice in pediatric audiology in today's environment," said Gail Whitelaw, chair of the American Board of Audiology. "These individuals are to be commended for their commitment to the audiology profession and their drive to continue to pursue knowledge needed to make them effective pediatric audiologists in their practices."
The ABA will offer subsequent examinations in pediatric audiology as well as the Cochlear Implant Specialty Certification on October 13, 2012, in Denver, CO, and April 7, 2013, in Anaheim, CA. To apply for ABA board certification or a specialty certification, visit the ABA Web site or contact Keri Murphy, senior manager, certification, at 703.226.1057.
About the American Board of Audiology
The American Board of Audiology (ABA), an autonomous organization, is dedicated to enhancing audiologic services to the public by promulgating universally recognized standards in professional practice. The ABA encourages audiologists to exceed these prescribed standards, thereby promoting a high level of professional development and ethical practice. The Pediatric Audiology Specialty Certification (PASC) is a voluntary certification program administered by audiologists for audiologists by the ABA.

Survey of Energy Resources 2007
Wave Country Notes
Since 1978 Portugal has played a significant role in wave energy R&D, with considerable work being undertaken at the Instituto Superior Técnico (IST) of the Technical University of Lisbon and the National Institute of Engineering and Industrial Technology (INETI) of the Portuguese Ministry of Economy. Most of the research has been devoted to OWCs and associated turbines, which included the building of a pilot 400 kW OWC plant on the island of Pico in the Azores.
In 2003 the Wave Energy Centre was set up with the objective of providing dissemination, promotion and support to the implementation of wave energy technology and commercialisation of devices. The Centre has a number of ongoing projects, including a 700 kW OWC installed in Foz do Douro breakwater (www.wave-energy-centre.org).
The Portuguese Government is attracting considerable inward investment from wave energy developers by offering enhanced prices paid for electricity derived from wave energy devices (initially, approximately US$ 0.30/kWh). Projects confirmed to date include: a 2.25 MW scheme consisting of 3 Pelamis devices which have already been delivered (www.oceanpd.com) and a 2 MW scheme using the AquaBuOY technology (www.finavera.com/wave), with interest from several others.
