TIFF 2018 Review: Destroyer
Destroyer builds up the illusion of something more, but never delivers on that promise.
Bad Ass, devil may care Nicole Kidman loading and firing a machine gun.
This log line alone should assure an incredible film, but one's viewing of Destroyer can be a frustrating experience. The film looks stellar, presenting a warm, muted, and moody visual that captures you immediately. Things change quickly however when Nicole Kidman points the handgun directly into the camera like she's never held one before in her life.
Destroyer builds up the illusion of something more, but never delivers on that promise. Kidman delivers a performance that can only be described as "too much of a good thing". She channels an almost Eastwood like presence to the role, but it never becomes believable, which is a lot to do with the problematic script. It never quite gives us room to figure out who the characters are, giving us very little to care about as the running time ticks on. The writers, like the audience will, get caught up in the mystery. This also brings us to the most frustrating point. Destroyer presents itself as a slow boil, and operates as one until it comes time to serve the food. The waiter comes out and presents a piece of wonderbread when you were expecting lobster.
This film could have been something but it gets bogged down in trying to humanize a character we don't even believe in the first place. They say filmmaking is a team sport, and someone stumbled right out of the gates with this one, but if you're okay with a lack of return getting wrapped up in this mystery could be a good way to burn some time.

A common method for relinquishing ownership of chametz is to sell it, typically through an agent (a rabbi), to a gentile.
The chametz remains in the house, in a closed-off area (e.g., a closet) that has been rented to its new owner. After Pesach the rental period ends and the agent purchases the chametz back on behalf of the original owner.
This option is time-honored and halachically sanctioned. It is, however, a device that some have reservations about relying on for chametz that, on a Torah level, a person is required to remove from one's possession.
The Torah prohibition against owning chametz applies not only to obvious chametz such as bread, pretzels, or cookies, but to any product that contains a chametz ingredient that constitutes a kezayit within that product. Licorice, for example, which contains a significant amount of flour in its dough, would not be sold according to this position but should, instead, be eaten before Pesach, burned, or otherwise destroyed. Such products are considered chametz gamur — "real" chametz.
If the food is only safek chametz (that is, there is some doubt as to whether it is chametz at all), it may be included in the sale even according to those pious individuals who avoid the sale of "real" chametz.
The foods listed in this chart are identified either as chametz gamur ("real" chametz) and, according to the stringent position, should not be included in the sale, or "not chametz gamur," and may be included in the sale.
Many people who avoid selling chametz nonetheless have a family custom to include their whiskey in the sale.

It is a hard crystalline material formed in the kidney or in urinary tract. It grows in the different sizes. Many times small size kidney stone get unnoticed. It don't cause any harm. If kidney stone grows more than 5 millimetres, it causes blockage in the ureter, leading to severe abdominal or lower back pain.
- Pain starts at the lower abdomen and progress to groin region called "loin to groin pain".
- Severe and sudden colicky type of pain
- Pain occur during before or after urination
- Nausea and vomiting
- Burning urination
- Loss of appetite and weight
- Cloudy foul smelling urine
- Fever with chills
- Frequent urge to urinate
Risk factors:
- Family history of kidney stone, or person who had kidney stone early in a life,also has a higher chances to developed kidney stone.
- Obese people along with large waist size and high body mass index (BMI).
- Drinking less amount of water or excess sweating or living in a dry hot climate causes dehydration, which leads to kidney stone
- Certain foods which have protein, sugar or sodium high in amount.
- Certain medical condition likes hyperparathyroidism, gout or some urinary tract infection.
- Chronic diarrhoea or inflammatory bowel syndrome and gastric bypass surgery increase the chances of kidney stone.
Causes of kidney stone:
Causes of kidney stone can well defined by types of kidney stone.
- Calcium stone: calcium oxalate and calcium phosphate are two types in calcium stone. Calcium oxalate is the most common type. Oxalate found in many dietary food, fruits, vegetables, nuts certain chocolates etc. Oxalate and calcium concentration may increase in urine due to intestinal surgery, dietary factors or high doses of vitamin D.
- Cysteine stone: are caused by hereditary factors, where certain amino acids are execrate in large quantity by kidney (cystinuria) in some people.
- Uric acid stones: occur in who take high protein diet, drink less amount of water or loose excess fluid.
- Struvite stones: cause by infection at urinary tract.

South East Asia's natural habitats continue to deteriorate due to resource extraction to meet the needs of a growing population. In the last 50 years, humans have extensively changed these eco-systems to meet the demand for food, water, timber and fuel. At Ayana we are determined to make a difference and have a positive impact.
Wildlife Conservation
The list of endangered species is alarmingly long and our carbon footprint is ever increasing. Ayana understands the seriousness of this threat and has taken a determined stand to make a difference.
Various conservation related programs to conserve and protect these threatened natural habitats will be undertaken. Ayana will implement reforestation plans to expand and protect forest corridors and increase the buffers areas bordering national parks and wildlife sanctuaries. Community based programs that reduce dependence on forest resources of native and tribal populations will be initiated. In addition, Ayana will support long-term research projects focused on better understanding the ecological issues affecting wildlife.
Community Development
A significant percentage of the population in South East Asian countries resides in rural and underdeveloped areas. Large, federal governments cannot effectively manage diverse communities, separated by geography and language. The needs and priorities of these communities are hard to identify and are frequently overlooked.
Ayana proposes to promote educational projects by recruiting volunteers to teach at local schools, introducing sponsorships for primary and advanced education, supplying books and stationary to schools. All hospitality projects undertaken by Ayana will be staffed by members of the local community (at least 65% of the team will be employed from neighbouring villages). Ayana will also promote the local handicraft industry by buying and marketing local products.

I Don't Bowl Alone
-Robert Putnam, Bowling Alone
Actually, I don't bowl at all. (It's not a moral issue; it's a hand-eye coordination thing. Bowling balls are heavy. Dangerous.) It turns out that I don't knit alone, either.**
Look what I finished at knitting group last night:
That's right - the knitting on Winter Folly is done done done. And one sleeve is set in. After all that stressing, now I couldn't care less about finishing. Hmmm. . .
My history classes (speaking of a Liberal Medical Education) have been all about American citizenship and nationalism, the early republic, and, of course, hegemony. Naturally, our discussion of declining social capital led me to talk about knitting and knitting blogs, wherein I affirmed that if anyone requires a community, they should learn how to knit. Not only is knitting a metaphor for life, but you get to hang out with cool folks like at the knitting group that JayJay (blogless commenator) organized. During our raucous discussion of Bowling Alone, we learned that it's not only knitting: There are puppy playgroups, Cat Clubs, Antique Clubs, and the politics of Cycling Clubs can rival those of Congress.
So the sky is not falling. Social capital is good. Knitting is good for your health. And if you think the barn raisings and quilting bees of the days of yore speak to a simpler time, remember this: They didn't do it for the postcards. They needed barns. Winter is cold without central heating. It's warmer when you knit, and warmer still when you knit with friends.
*I would be remiss if I didn't point out that this is likely related, at least in part, to the healthy worker effect. (People with jobs are healthier than people without jobs, not because having a job makes you healthy, but because if you aren't healthy, it's hard to hold down a job.)
**This is patently untrue. But last night I did not knit alone.

Ode is a traditional jazz record in that it features concise themes and long improvisations, with brilliant rhythmic play running throughout the trio's incredible dialogue. It's a high-wire act in the grand piano trio tradition, a clear heir to the likes of Bud Powell and Bill Evans and McCoy Tyner and in league with some of the recent quicksilver work from the mature Chick Corea. It's hardly old-fashioned, but it's a mature, solid piece of work. And it's fantastic.
Mehldau will never seem like just another pianist, so it seems just fine that Ode has no particular gimmick. His playing is dashingly original by its very nature. Toward the end of the opening track, "M.B.", for instance, Mehldau's fiery solo becomes a duel between his left hand and right, each of which plays alternating single-note runs that develop naturally from the existing left-hand accompaniment. On "Twiggy", one of his crystalline modern themes with a Latin feel, Mehldau plays it light and melodic, much like a pianistic Pat Metheny, but then spins the simple solo into something more ornate and intricate, the runs becoming faster and knottier over time. Imagination and technique jigsaw together when Mehldau plays.
Read the entire PopMatters review here: Brad Mehldau Trio: Ode
Ode itself does not reach for epic dimension often, and that's cool. It seems less like a manifesto or a film than like a very fine jazz album. Though the leading jazz pianists today are making lots of impressive statements about where the music is going, maybe creating a compelling album, old school, is still one of the music's clearest callings. Ode fits the bill.

Many women, in particular, see nothing problematic in the messaging, while many men counter that it's insulting to assume that the majority of grown men need to be lectured on the topics covered by someone selling them razors.
Why the split reaction?
Let's look at the language within the ad itself. I listened to the commercial and transcribed the audio I heard. Let's take a look.
(Left-aligned text is the narrator and centered/italicized are background lines.)
Gillette Commercial (w/ Transcript)
What does the script look like coded?
Commercial: Flipped
Can you hear the tonal dissonance now?
This tonal combination fails in any direction its aimed, UNLESS the listener is already converted to the message.
For example, some men probably would agree with the flipped commercial and ask why any woman who wasn't guilty of overspending should be offended by being lectured by her tampon manufacturer.
If you're not guilty, what's the problem. Right?
So, for some, there is no problem with the ad.
But others are not looking to find their morality from a company that still charges more for pink items than blue and currently sponsors events like this:
It's a tough game to preach morality like a longsuffering parent. The standards are high and you have to hold them higher than anyone you're preaching to in order to retain credibility.
In my assessment, Gillette miscalculated on this one. This is not the best an ad can get.
It accomplishes the task of being on-pitch to one niche and tone deaf to everyone else outside of that choir--which includes more than 50% of their target market.
And now, they're probably going to have to drop their pink tax on female-marketed items pretty quick if they want to keep the choir they have left.
Want to learn the 8 Major Conversational Tones? Let me know. If there's demand, I would love to make a tutorial with resources.

favourite earlier leaf designs popped into my head - I still really love it and incorporated similar ideas on this piece.
Really love the how the aquafluer worked across the leaf shape.......requires more intense investigative research I think!
I'm having a bit of a string renaissance of late, also, it's appearing on most of my journal pages :)
Have a good one!

Summer time is a big energy-using season for a lot of us, especially in hot Texas. We run our air conditioners a lot more, which drives up our electric bill. If you're like our family, you look for ways to use less energy and save some money during the summer.
Here are some practices I use that might help.
1. Set your thermostat as high as you comfortably can – Instead of 75, try 76 or 77. If your thermostat is programmable, set it for 85 degrees when you're gone. You'll be surprised how much you save from just a few degrees.
2. Keep furniture away from air vents – Make sure there is plenty of space around the vents for air to get through, otherwise you're just cooling the underside of your sofa.
3. Perform regular air conditioner maintenance – Clean out or replace your filters so all the air gets through. If you have central air, it's worth the cost to have an HVAC professional give it a once-over.
4. Use more fans – Overhead, ceiling, and window fans are low-energy ways to cool off a home during most days. Run your attic fan with your windows open to get air circulating.
5. Keep the blinds closed – Less sun means less heat. Pretty simple.
6. Use a microwave, toaster oven or outdoor grill – These devices use less energy than your traditional oven. Plus everyone loves grilling.
7. Run appliances at night – Power grids are taxed during the summer, so use your big appliances at night during non-peak hours. Most utility companies charge less for electricity used during the low usage times.
8. Unplug some electronics – Most electronic devices use some power even when they aren't turned on. If you're going away for a night or more, unplug your television, computer, sound system, etc.
9. Use your pool filter less – You'll probably find that your pool filtration system doesn't need to run every 15 minutes to keep your pool clean. Increase the length of time between cleanings and observe your pool. Set the filter to run just enough.
10. Wash in cold water and line dry – Don't wash in hot unless you absolutely have to, and skip the dryer for a season; line dried clothing smells nice anyway.
11. Fill up your fridge and freezer – A full refrigerator and freezer is cheaper to run because there is less air that needs to be cooled. Once the contents reach a cold temperature, they don't lose their heat as quickly as the air (which also escapes).
12. Spend hot days somewhere else – Instead of lounging around in the air conditioning on a superhot day, go somewhere public that would be cooling their space anyway, like the movies or a museum.

Hey folks! Today's post is an update on our Christmas fundraiser, The Kijani Christmas Gift Drive, which I wrote about in November here. Please give it a read for background. I'm happy to announce the fundraiser netted 30 high quality re-usable diapers, donated to The Real Uganda, to be given out to women we work with.
Kijani (Kiswahili for "green") is a Kampala based social enterprise. They employ Ugandan mothers to make high quality, low cost, cloth diapers. They're great for our environment and save tonnes of cash over disposables. Check out their website.
Yesterday, I was in Mayindo, Buikwe, visiting the Hopeline ladies. It was decided to split the 30 diapers we received from Kijani equally between the Hopeline Women Groups. The remaining 15 will be given out in Bulyantete next week. Many of you reading this know and love these ladies. It's my pleasure to give this brief update.
How the diapers were divied up in Mayindo:
The group currently has 2 babies still in diapers. Namatovu's little Hussain and Rachel's Jovia. Hussain is Namatovu's 8th baby. Jovia is Rachel's first. Each mummy received 3 diapers that came with 2 absorbent inserts each. Here they are modelling their new duds:
I'm also happy to announce that 3 more of the Mayindo ladies are pregnant! Nantongo, Specioza and Deseranta are all expecting. They were also each given 3 diapers with 2 inserts each.
I gave a demonstration about how to properly fit and adjust the size, and talked about proper diaper maintenance. These things are meant to be used over the life of these and future babies! We passed the diapers around and everyone got a chance to fully examine the quality of materials and tailoring. Many ladies were just as interested in how the diapers were made as they were in how the diapers will change their lives. I think some of these women are going to compete with Kijani in future.
Some initial remarks from the Mayindo ladies:
Namatovu only let Hussain wear his diaper for the photos and then removed it before it could get soiled. She said she was going to use her diapers at night. She and Hussain co-sleep and he pees the bed every night. The old towels and other cloth pieces she wraps him in take time everyday to clean and always smell. Besides, the wetness wakes her up. These diapers are going to improve this mummy's life immediately!
Halima said she has spent her life going back and forth between home and the nearby sugar plantation for work. She's had over 14 babies and carried each and every one of them on her back during work. She never had the benefit of diapers. When her babies peed or made a poo, it soaked into her clothing. She's happy her sisters in the group will not have to "walk around smelling like male-goats!"
Future goals?
Our aim for these diapers is to have the ladies use them for a few months and then go back and collect their feedback. If they really like them and use them regularly, The Real Uganda will keep this fundraiser going. We'll take donations from volunteers and well-wishers to buy from Kijani and spread the benefits throughout both women's groups!
If you'd like to get involved, click on this link to our donation page. Each diaper (with 2 absorbent inserts) retails in Kampala for about $10. Your donation of $13 will facilitate the purchase and delivery of 1 diaper to a mummy in need. Write "diaper" in the Description box and we'll make sure things get sorted on the ground and you get a note of thanks with report!
Hopeline Organization's long term plan is to build a creative training centre. Sewing machines and tailor training will be on offer. I'll bet you 10 diapers the Hopeline ladies will go into reusable diaper production before too long!

Zwilling JA Henckels TWIN Signature Knife 19-Piece Block Set Review
Few knife sets can compare with the completeness of the Zwilling JA Henckels TWIN Signature Knife 19-Piece Block Set. In addition to eight non-serrated steak knives that look and function wonderfully during meals, the set also includes the basic paring knife, chef or cook's knife, and the long bread knife. Some of the other knives that are in this set, like the Santoku and peeler, are more commonly found in kitchens of experienced chefs.
Along with the various knives, there are a kitchen shears that come in quite handy for use in snipping herbs or even trimming the ends of stems of flowers. Everything is perfectly organized in the bamboo wood storage block, including the shears and the sharpening steel that efficiently hones the edges of the blades in between sharpening. The exquisite blades are constructed in Germany out of high carbon stainless steel that is stamped rather than forged. Among other things, this signifies that these knives are without the bolsters that found on some knives. After the specific shapes of the blades are formed, the blades are ice hardened as part of the manufacturing process.
The thin cutting edge of each blade is easily sharpened and it will remain acute for the duration of the knife's life. As the stainless steel continues toward the butt end of the knife, it is thinned out and formed into the long tang of the knife. The tang conforms in shape to that of the ergonomically shaped handle. Since the tang is the full size of the handle, it adds some extra weight to the handle end of the knife which counterbalance the heaviness of the blade. Three well placed rivets are traditional for this type of knife. They are used to add strength to the bonding between the tang and the other parts of the knife handle. These rivets are well set and leave no crevices where bacteria could flourish. There are also no crevices anywhere else along the joining of the tang and handle parts.
This makes these knives easy to keep clean and safe for food preparation. However, it is unwise to clean them in an automatic dishwasher because the knives as well as the lining of the dishwasher could be damaged by the high powered water streams forcing the knives to move around inside the dishwasher. Instead, the knives in this set should be washed by hand, individually, and then dried and replaced in their appropriate slots in the knife block. The precise construction and easy grip of the knives in this set leave little to be desired. They are well-balanced, comfortable, and perform all types of food preparation with no difficulties.
More experienced chefs will enjoy the variety of size and specialty of the many knives in the set and those that are new to food preparation will discover the wonder of having the proper knife for each task readily available. Recently we review.

I am very proud and grateful that my Conscious Alliance poster for The String Cheese Incident at Red Rocks was a major success in celebration of Conscious Alliance's 15th Anniversary. We were able to collect an incredible outpouring of 5000 lbs in food donations through the distribution of my poster.
Conscious Alliance will be delivering this food, your loving heart-and-soul donations, to the Pine Ridge Reservation in South Dakota on Wednesday. Immediate relief will be given to a very deserving community – the great Oglala Sioux people – with all your help and I thank you!
Both Conscious Alliance and The String Cheese Incident were knocked out by the demand for my poster. Conscious Alliance has not seen anything like it in their 15 years of service. There were 100 people in line before Conscious Alliance opened, all three days, and posters sold out in 20 minutes three days in a row. It's gratifying to harness beautiful, positive fan energy to make a difference in the world!
I want to thank each and every one of you who showed up early, brought food or donated to Conscious Alliance and received one of my intricate 7 color posters for the show. I put my faith, energy and dedication into this worthy project for Conscious Alliance, and we were able to make good things happen for their incredibly cool cause.
Thanks for your support!
Chuck Sperry

There we were, a group of us, standing in the cold drizzle on the edge of a windy small town airfield in the middle of Illinois, cheering like a bunch of giddy schoolchildren. We were tired, hungry, wet, and freezing, but we were happy because the helicopter engine had started up.
The helicopter in question was a bright yellow Hiller UH-12 from the early 1960s with the tail number N78OND. This was the first time the engine had been fired up in several years, and it was music to our ears.
For this was no ordinary helicopter. This particular machine achieved its moment of aviation fame when it chased a youthful Sean Connery across the hilltops of the Turkish countryside in the second James Bond movie, From Russia With Love. And while it's one of the group's more recent acquisitions, it is the oldest vehicle in our collection.
Several years ago I was lucky enough to be invited to do a signing for my book JAMES BOND: The History of the Illustrated 007 at an event alongside former Bond novelist Raymond Benson. Over dinner later, he said something along the lines of "You know your Bond, and you like fixing cars and stuff. I should introduce you to some friends of mine." That introduction turned out to be an invitation to join The Ian Fleming Foundation.
The IFF is dedicated to the study and preservation of the history of Ian Fleming's literary works, the James Bond phenomenon, and their impact on popular culture. It is also a center of research for all aspects of James Bond and has an extensive archive. But the most fun part of being part of the IFF is the vehicles. We rescue and restore James Bond movie vehicles. At the time of writing, we have thirty-five vehicles in total, as well as various onscreen props and models, with seventeen of them currently on display at the "Bond In Motion" exhibit in Covent Garden, London. Those not on exhibit or loan elsewhere are held in our hanger on the edge of that remote airfield, where they are either being stored or undergoing repairs and restoration, like the helicopter.
It's amazing where these treasures have been found: cars found in barns, a stunt truck being used as a training aid at a fire station, a light plane being used for advertising, a boat converted into a bar, and filming models rotting away in garden sheds, to name a few.
While some of the IFF team who live locally look after the collection on a day-to-day basis, the rest of us gather a few times a year to help out with major projects. As a result, I've gotten to play with, and work on, some of the coolest vehicles ever to grace the movie screen. Now whenever I rewatch a Bond movie (which is frequently), I always smile when I see one of our vehicles in action, especially if it's one that's been restored to how it looked during its moment of glory.

Unfortunately, there is a downside to most of the rice cookers sold in stores. They have a nonstick coating that is made of toxic materials like Teflon. So if you have made the switch to stainless steel with your pots and pans, then you are going to want to change out your rice cooker as well.
When opting for a rice cooker without a nonstick coating, you can choose to buy either one with an inner pot made of stainless steel or clay. Both will be able to cook up good rice with just a press of a button. However, you do need to realize that a clay or stainless steel rice cooker will be somewhat different from a nonstick one.
Since neither a stainless steel or clay rice cooker has a nonstick coating, there is a high probability that the bottom layer of rice will stick to the pot. To help lessen the chances of this happening, make sure you cook your rice with a sufficient amount of water. Also, try applying a thin layer of oil or butter to your rice cooker before adding the water and rice.

By Julien Toyer and Luke Baker
BRUSSELS – Eurozone member states, mindful of flagging market confidence in eurozone debt, are considering dropping private sector involvement in the region's permanent bailout fund due to come into force in 2013, four EU officials said on Friday.
The discussions are taking place as part of wider negotiations over changing the EU treaty to introduce stricter fiscal rules, which Germany insists on as a precondition for deeper integration among euro zone states.
Commercial banks and insurance companies are expected to take a hit on their holdings of Greek sovereign bonds as part of the second bailout package being finalized for Athens.
But clauses relating to private sector involvement contained in the statutes of the European Stability Mechanism (ESM) – the permanent facility scheduled to start operating from mid-2013 – could be withdrawn, with the majority of eurozone states opposed to them.
The concern is that forcing the private sector to take losses if a country needs to restructure its debt is undermining market confidence in eurozone sovereign bonds. If clauses on private sector involvement are removed, most countries argue, market sentiment might improve.
"France, Italy, Spain and all the peripherals" are in favor of removing the clauses, one EU official told Reuters. "Against it are Germany, Finland and the Netherlands."
Another official said that while German insistence on retaining private sector involvement in the ESM was fading, so-called collective action clauses would only be removed as part of broader negotiations over changes to the EU treaty.
Berlin wants all 27 EU countries, or at least the 17 in the eurozone, to provide full backing for changes to the treaty before it will even consider giving ground on other issues that member states want it to change its stance on.
Germany is also under pressure to soften its opposition to the European Central Bank playing a more direct role in combating the debt crisis, and to give its backing to the idea of jointly issued eurozone bonds.
German officials dismiss any suggestion of a 'grand bargain' being put together, but officials in other eurozone capitals, including Brussels, say such a deal is taking shape and suggest Berlin will move when it has the commitments it is seeking.
Eurozone finance ministers will discuss the ESM at a meeting in Brussels on November 29-30, including the implications of dropping collective action clauses from its statutes.
While most eurozone countries just want to forget about enforced private sector involvement, some are adamant there must be a way to ensure banks and not just taxpayers shoulder some of the costs of bailing countries out.
Austria's opposition Green Party, whose support the government needs to secure backing for the ESM in the Vienna parliament, insists collective action clauses must remain a part of the ESM.
Any changes to the ESM have to be approved by all member states and ratified by national parliaments before they can take effect, meaning Austrian opposition could derail the push for changes.
Germany and some other member states were pushing to bring the ESM, which will have a lending capacity of 500 billion euros (US$664-billion), into force as early as July next year, but disagreement over its structure could delay that.

it's a season here but i'm not sure which
May 25, 2013
When the Russians put a beach in at Gorky Park, I knew spring/summer had officially started. There are beach chairs and umbrellas and families who bring buckets and shovels. I've been to Gorky Park three times since the beach's opening and every time, it's packed, the rest of the park, too. There are bikers and rollerbladers and food carts. The Russians have lost their fur coats and hats, and I feel like I'm looking at completely different people, though the women's stilettos and panty hose with jean shorts reminds me where I am.
We all wore jackets when I left for Greece the second week of May. I got a sunburn there and came back to a hot and sunny Moscow. Most days were breezy, but if it didn't hit just right, the office or apartment was stuffy and hot, almost unbearable. The afternoon sunshine that was once my apartment's best quality now became something to avoid. I tried to develop a system where I could let air in through the windows without letting in the sun; this was mostly unsuccessful. After sweating through pants and sleeved blouses for two days at work, I declared I would only wear sleeveless dresses. I tried to welcome the warm weather by cutting some new jorts and going to the park after work, where I knew there would at least be a breeze.
Luckily, Moscow's yearly 2 week hot water shut off happened during these warm days, so my ice cold morning showers were more bearable. Apparently the government is repairing the pipes? Or they're replacing the pipes? Or they're saving money? No one's really sure. Literally, I turned the hot water knob and absolutely nothing came out. I knew this happened in the summer, but I assumed "summer" meant June or July. I'm happy to have it over.
As if blizzards never happened, everything is green again. Leaves fill the trees. I think I see carrots and lamb's quarters along the sidewalks, in the park. Russians eat ice cream any time of day–for breakfast, after work. I'm told it's better here because the Russians aren't really concerned about butter or fat content like Americans. The sun rises at 4:30 am and sets around 10 pm. The cafes have reconstructed their porches and planted flowers in hanging boxes.
Last weekend, Moscow participated in Europe's "Museum Night," so museums and parks all over the city stayed open until 5:30 am. It seemed like the entire city was out. We took a candlelit walking tour of one of the city's neighborhoods and watched silent films outdoors. It rained and the wet pollen painted the streets.
After sweating it out all week, I wore shorts and a t-shirt for Museum Night. But it got cold and windy and stormed and everyone else had jackets and pants. In the fall, I declared that Moscow never had thunderstorms because for months I saw no lightening, heard no thunder. But now I know that Moscow does get storms, just in the spring. It has stormed almost every day for over a week, sometimes for the entire day and other times for just a few hours, and the weather forecast promises at least a week more. Sometimes it clears off early evening and I catch this view of smoke rolling over the trees when I get home from work.
I caught a break in the rain this morning for a jog. The sidewalks were wet and the lawn mowers threw clumps of grass everywhere. In the park, they were pulling up tulips before they died. I remember this breaking my heart on KU's campus, the garbage bags of flowers such a waste. I decided that on the way back, I would ask permission to take some. But when I got there other people already were picking them, so I knew it was okay. I picked 13–Russians consider getting an even number of flowers bad luck, just like hugging in doorways or wishing someone Happy Birthday a day early–and jogged back to the apartment. I felt lucky.

Subtle branding for a stronger message
Women's Day is a really bad excuse for a public holiday. I keep thinking it's about women's rights in general and, until I was reminded this morning, forgot that it is intended to honour the women who marched to the Union Buildings in 1956 to protest the pass laws. And I'm probably I'm not the only one who sees it as just another public holiday, rather than a rallying cry for women's rights. But since it's a whole three months since the productivity-sucking surfeit of public holidays we enjoy every year around Easter, I'm happy to sit back and enjoy a day off.
And it's the perfect time to share with you one of my favourite TV commercials. It celebrates ordinary women exercising, uninhibited by what others might think. I probably like it because I started swimming this year and had to get over my fear of being seen floundering about in the pool!
But this isn't universally approved by feminists. Others have argued that it's anti-feminist, claiming it sexualises women as much as more traditional ads. I'd be interested to hear your perspective.
I like the ad, but I was also intrigued by the lack of visible branding. Who paid for this and why? It didn't appear to be a sports shoe brand or a clothing company. I wondered whether my confusion was due to the small screen of my laptop, or the lack of context since it's not a local ad.
Clearly the idea is to inspire women to accept themselves and get active. To realise that you don't need to have the body of an Olympican to participate in sport. This Girl Can is a campaign, but it's not a brand.
The brand might be the organisation behind this public service message, Sport England. But the campaign isn't about creating awareness of the organisation. There's a clearly focused message, with no distractions. There's quite a contrast between this approach and that of so many public service messages we see, where advertising is used to promote ego agendas instead of focusing on the issue at hand. The KZN Department of Health gave us a great example of this a while ago.
What do you think of the ad, and how do you feel about the branding? Let me know in the comments section. And if you enjoyed the post, please share it on social media.

Great ad! I love the soundtrack making it more light-hearted, less PC. In a world that promotes serious lean athletes, this ad brings "physicality" back down to earth and makes it more attainable. What fun!
I like the ad too perhaps because I can identify with it. I wonder how well it goes down with teens, younger women whose self esteem is based on their body shape and size?
I LOVED the ad, inspiration for ladies to #getoutthere and just have fun without inhibitions.

Lower Murray Water posts $8m loss
North-west Victoria's water authority has reported a loss of $8.8 million in the last financial year.
Lower Murray Water (LMW) has attributed the loss to an unplanned $3 million pay out to the super fund Vision Super.
A further depreciation of the authority's assets is also partly to blame.
Last month a jury found LMW defamed four directors of the now defunct First Mildura Irrigation Trust.
But the authority's chief executive Ron Leamon says the legal fees were small.
"Our insurers actually pick up the costs to run the case, as well as any damages that may result at the finalisation of that case," he said.
"We don't anticipate any significant financial implications from that case."
Mr Leamon says the result is an improvement on last year's $9.4 million loss.
"Provided we are covering our operating costs and our ongoing maintenance, there's no risk to any of the services that we provide."

Hi Guys,
I've made some tutorials on how to make scuba tank racks made from Pool Noodles & Rope, these things are not a new idea, however I have made these very basic to construct, the rope is spliced together so there is no need for any other hardware.
These are great things to stop those tanks clanging together in the boot of the car.
The instructions are detailed & easy to follow, I have uploaded them to my YouTube channel: MDTV3 Channel - YouTube
A single scuba tank rack

|It had been 5 weeks since I was downtown on a Saturday night! Time to get back into my routine. First top Suite B Lounge, a place you can always count on for EDM all nights of the week.
|When I came in DJ U4-E-Ahh (left) had just finished his set of mostly Progressive House.
|And Jacksonville-based DJ Dan D'Mantra stepped-up to take over.
|His House and Progressive set was an excellent mix of music that had the then limited number of patrons up and dancing. When I asked about one of the songs he played, he handed me the CD to keep!
|DJ Brad Clark took over next as he continued the vibe of the night. Would not get to see the star of the night, Tampa's DJ Rob Analyze as it was time for movin' on! Many of these guys will be playing at the upcoming Ocala Dance Festival.
|Spotted: DJ Andy Hughes (Electric Daisy Carnival-Orlando), enjoying the music mix!
|Over to Bliss Ultra Lounge for the best music mix in Orlando on Saturday nights!
|Because on Saturday nights it's DJ Mickey Bono (Beat Thrillerz, K5, RadioDanz.com, Party95.com) putting out Top 40/Dance and House.
|The club was thoroughly jammed with an all-hit format of Dance songs you'd recognize.
|Difficult to move around in there!
|Meanwhile the shooter girl was getting into the music and literally dancing her way through the masses!
|They no longer offer the $1 drinks until midnight but $3 wells ain't too shabby either.
|The Bliss go-go girls were dancing up on the bar Coyote Ugly-style!
|Haven't been back to The Beacham in several weeks so had to check out their Swirl Saturday Night!
|The night belongs to DJ Richie Rich (House of Blues) as well as Shelly from 102JAMZ.
|The Saturday night format is mostly Hip Hop and Rap but some Top 40/Dance gets mixed in too. Richie will be spinning House and Dance on Sunday, January 29th at HOB!
|Shelly JAMZ!
|You can count on The Beacham to always be jammed on Saturdays!
|New year, new sign? Not yet.
|DJ Dem Rok putting out 80's New Wave at Independent Bar.
|These pictures were taken a bit later in the evening when it had already started to thin-out a bit.
|But it had been a full house in here as well.
|And one of these days these boots are gonna walk all over you!!

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam: The Man, The Missile, The Mission
Posted: Mar 15, 2016
Called as the 'Missileman' as respect, he was no less than a missile. His achievement and success carried India to a height in the space research and development. He was indeed a noble man with a great determination to do something remarkable in life, and he succeeded too. But, do you even know that what were his struggles to earn money and livelihood to study and excel? Well, if you know then you must have found an inspiration in your life, but if you are still unaware then read this blog.
He struggled for the basic amenities
In the childhood, when a kid thinks of toys and games, the man, born on 15 October 1931 to Jainulabdeen and Ashiamma in Rameshwaram was acquainted with the thought of his family and its well-being. He, during his childhood, supported his family's financial condition by earning small wagers by selling the newspaper. He used to earn these wages after the school hours when his other friends and schoolmen used to relax down in their home and enjoy their meals. Although, he might not be earning a lot, but his effort was truly remarkable and pristine.
The achievements are the actual reflection of what he suffered
With so much of hurdles in life, the man excelled and become an honorary name to be respected and accredited worldwide. In his educational life, he completed his schooling and then graduated in 1954 from Saint Joseph's College, Tiruchirappalli. His career to earn a tag as a missile man was set back with his enrollment into Aerospace Engineering at MIT. He then worked as a chief scientist in the Aeronautical Development Establishment, DRDO, and directed the team at ISRO to develop the ballistic missiles. His direction paid off well when a locally built Rohini-1 was launched with the SLV rocket. His pivotal role in the field of space research and the mission of PRITHVI and AGNI cannot be forgotten.
Few other achievements of the man are 'Pokhran II Nuclear test,' which immortalized him with the title, Missile Man of INDIA, and his leadership as the 11th president of India. He also wrote books, like India 2020, Ignited Minds, Mission India, The Luminous Sparks, and Inspiring Thoughts, which can enlighten your path if read. Although there can be only one A.P.J Abdul Kalam, but you can follow his steps to be counted among the achievers.

This recipe was sent to us by Becky, one of our online blogger mums. Her challenge was to cook a kids or picnic meal using turkey. Here's what she thought:
English Mum
What we thought:
This is a really portable picnic treat, there's no faffing with bowls, which is exactly how we like it!
Serves: 3-4
Prep: 10min
Cook: 20min
Essential Ingredient:
Turkey Breast Fillets
500g British Turkey Fillets
100g Baby plum tomatoes
1 Ball mozzarella
3tbsp pesto
1 Lemon
Ready rolled puff pastry sheet
Send me ingredients list
To serve:
Serve with all your usual picnic favourites.
This fresh turkey recipe is perfect for kids and picnics.
Cut the turkey into smallish chunks and pop them into a bowl, then halve the tomatoes and add them in
Chop the mozzarella into similar sized chunks and pop then in with the turkey and tomatoes
Measure out 3tbsp of pesto and add this to the bowl along with a good grating of lemon zest and a squeeze of the juice. Season well.
Stir it all together and leave to marinate for a while in the fridge while you sort out the pastry
Unroll the pastry straight on to a baking tray and cut around the edge gently, about an inch in all the way around
Pile turkey mixture onto the puff pastry, keeping the edge free. Brush this edge with a little egg wash if you like, to give it a nice shine
Bake at 200 degrees, gas 7 for about 20 minutes until the turkey is cooked and the puff pastry is nice and brown.
