The time-worn texture of crinkled parchment paper describes Renaissance. Gilded and mysterious, this gracefully weathered design reveals antiqued grandeur that captures current influences. Metallic tones mixed with 18 dusky neutrals blur the lines between the past and present.
Symphony Encore….A new sampling format joins dramatic statement textures and memorable specialty patterns. Refreshed color lines and 3 new singles are premiered. You won't want to miss this!

Wetsuit thickness and temperature chart and guide
So what thickness wetsuit should you wear for cold water diving? What about warm water? There are so many questions about scuba diving but this one by far is the one that I hear most frequently. People new to cold water diving always seem to freak out a little bit about being able to keep warm while at depth on dives from 30 minutes to an hour. They especially become concerned about warmth when they venture past the thermocline. That's OK. You do want to stay warm while diving in cold water. You also don't want to wear a 7mm 2-piece wetsuit in tropical waters either. I have put together a chart that will hopefully shed some light on what thickness of a wetsuit you should wear for the temperatures you will be diving in.
You can find the chart below with different temperatures and wetsuit thicknesses. Check it out!
2mm or 3mm shorty
3/2mm or 4/3mm jumpsuit
3mm or 5mm jumpsuit or 2-piece
7mm jumpsuit or 7mm 2-piece
7mm 2-piece
So as you can see, there are many different options for different temperatures. It all depends on what temperature you will be diving at. There are also other major factors that determine what thickness you should be wearing. These factors include body fat, muscle, how active you are in the water, and air temperature. A person with more body fat may need less neoprene than a skinny person. A muscular athletic person may need less neoprene than the person with more body fat. Keep in mind that when you are active underwater you are creating body heat. This will help keep you warm also.
If you are in doubt of which thickness wetsuit you may need, go with the wetsuit that gives you a little more. It's better to be a little warm than a little cold. Getting cold leads to less bottom time and increased chance of DCS as your body is using more air to help stay warm, not to mention it's no fun diving when all you can think about is how cold you are.
There are also more reasons to wear a wetsuit, even if you can get away with just shorts in tropical waters. If you are diving around reefs, or anywhere for that matter, regardless of the water temperature, you as a diver are still susceptible to abrasions, cuts, and stings from your underwater surroundings. A good wetsuit will help keep you safe from jellyfish and different species of coral etc…
There are just so many things that go into making sure you are warm underwater. Your best bet is to follow this general guideline but still go to your local dive shop and try stuff on. Thickness plays a major role no doubt, but proper fit matters too. You can wear a 30mm wetsuit but still get cold if it doesn't fit you right. Do you know how a wetsuit works? A wetsuit lets in a small amount of water when you initially get into the water. That water that is first let in warms quickly from your body temperature. The wetsuit then traps that warmer water in to help keep you warm. If the suit doesn't fit well, it could let in cold water that will flush out the warm water. The improper fit will continuously let cold water in and it will quickly chill you, especially if you are below the thermocline.
I hope this helped you on your quest to find the right thickness wetsuit for your diving environment. Just keep in mind that thickness isn't everything though. Make sure you have a quality made wetsuit that fits you well. If you have any questions or comments on what kind of wetsuit you use and at what temperature, share it with everyone in the comments below so others can use your information also. Happy diving!

What Our Winter Guests Say About Their "Home Away from Home"
Scott H., Pekin, Ill.:
"Thanks for putting things together."
Joseph L., Huntley, Ill.:
"We love the Alabama Gulf Coast because of the beauty and we love it because it does NOT have the congestion that the Florida coast has. I would love to see more trips to NOLA with its history. We are so looking forward to next year!"
Mike P., Archbold, Ohio:
"My wife and I come to Gulf Shores in the winter from Ohio for a variety of reasons…
The extremely friendly people.
It is a much shorter trip for us (14 hours) than Florida where we used to go.
We like the small town feel and less crowded February feel that Gulf Shores provides.
We prefer the 60/70-degree weather vs. the hotter temps in Florida.
Love the beach and restaurants.
Gulf Shores provides a more relaxed/laid back atmosphere during this time.
The cost of staying in Gulf Shores is about one-third the cost of going to Florida in February.
We have found that working with the property management teams that Gulf Shores provides are easy to work with when searching for a property to rent.
I have been impressed with your continued winter events schedule and Meyer's willingness to continually look for improvements. We prefer working with Meyer at this time because they have been quick to respond to our needs and issues. Your website is informative and easy to use. Meyer provides activities for their guests that other property management agencies do not. The Meyer staff, I am sure, deal with a tremendous amount of people on a daily basis, however, I have always felt fully informed and a part of the family."
Phil S., Jenison, Mich.:
"We chose the Alabama coast because it is not as crowded in January and February as our former wintering spot in Naples. There is an abundance of good restaurants and almost never a wait time. The weather is great. Although it is 10 degrees cooler than South Florida, when you sit on the lanai in the sunshine, it is short sleeves and shorts weather for us Michiganders. Cost: I can have a beachfront condo for the same price per month as for a week in South Florida."

The Mokka is a subcompact crossover designed, engineered and produced by German manufacturer Opel. It was launched in 2012 as an all-new model and so far it marks good sales results. It is an entry-level SUV and it stands below Antara model. It is also known under some other names. In United Kingdom it is known as Vauxhall Mokka, while in North America it uses Buick Encore name. After three years of production, it seems that company plans to make some modifications. The 2016 Opel Mokka will come refreshed, with several changes. It will feature new front fascia and some other visual tweaks, while interior is also expect to come with some changes.
2016 Opel Mokka changes
The testing model has been spotted. The 2016 Opel Mokka wears a camouflage and according to covered areas, it looks like most of the changes will come at the front, which is pretty much expected. It is still hard to say what is hidden under the camouflage, but we expect to see new front fascia with reshaped grille and revisited headlights. Those parts will be adapted to the company's new design language. It is expected that rear end will also come with changes, so expect to see new taillights and some other tweaks, which will follow those styling changes from the front. When it is about interior, it is expected that 2016 Opel Mokka will features some changes too. However, we still don't know what exactly will be modified. There are rumors that new model will come with revisited dashboard but, for now, it is just a speculation.
2016 Opel Mokka engine
When it is about engines, we expect no changes. The base 2016 Opel Mokka will be powered by 1.6 four-cylinder engine with 113 hp and 114 lb-ft of torque. There will be two more petrol engines in offer. First one is 1.8 liter I-4, which outputs 138 horsepower and 131 pound-feet of torque. Finally, there is a 1.4 liter Turbocharged engine which is good for 138 hp and 148 lb-ft of max torque. There will be also a diesel engine in offer. It is a 1.6 liter CDTI EcoFLEX 134 horses and 236 pound-feet of twist. All engines for 2016 Opel Mokka will be available with either 6-speed automatic or 6-speed manual transmission.
2016 Opel Mokka release date and price
We expect to see this refreshed model in late 2015/early 2016 period. The 2016 Opel Mokka is expected to come with pretty much unchanged price, compared to current model.

There's an old adage in the nutrition world, "If it looks like a cookie and it tastes like a cookie…it's a cookie." Well, leave it to the makers of WhoNu? "Nutrition Rich" Cookies to indelibly justify this cliche.
WhoNu? Cookies are the brainchild of some packaged food folks who want to take the confusion out of eating well. You like cookies. Cookies aren't good for you. Let's make a cookie that we pretend is good for you.
Infantile spelling of the product name aside, the uninspired mechanisms by which these cookies claim to be "nutritious" are plastered about the loud orange packaging:
OK, let's break this down:
- As much fiber as a bowl of oatmeal!
Yeah but that fiber isn't from whole grains or any other naturally occurring source of fiber, it's from an isolated, functional fiber – the type that we're not even sure conveys health benefits. (Read more about fake fibers here.)
- As much calcium and vitamin D as an 8 oz glass of milk!
Never mind that there's no data indicating supplemental calcium is any more well-absorbed than naturally occurring sources, aren't there some other redeeming qualities to milk: protein, phosphorus, vitamin A, etc?
- As much Vitamin C as a cup of blueberries!
Big deal, all fruits and vegetables are good sources of vitamin C. Eat them to get your needs.
- As much iron as a cup of spinach!
There's not really that much iron in a cup of raw spinach, which is what it looks like they're comparing in the picture. A cup of cooked spinach or an animal flesh food that's actually high in heme iron – the more easily absorbed type of iron? Now we're talking.
- As much Vitamin E as two cups of carrot juice!
Because vitamin E is widespread in vegetable oils – and we all eat too much oil – there's no concern about Americans not meeting vitamin E needs.
- As much Vitamin B12 as a cup of cottage cheese and fruit!
A well-balanced diet has plenty of vitamin B12 – and if you get too much of it, it's a water-soluble vitamin, so you just pee out the excess. Great selling point.
- As much vitamin A as an 8 oz glass of tomato juice!
Drink a cup of milk for vitamin A – not a one cup serving of tomato juice that has more than half of your daily sodium allotment.
Wait, so these cookies really aren't that good for you? Well, if you have been offended and/or duped by the nutritious claims of the WhoNu? cookie product, consider contacting this forward-thinking law firm, who appear to be soliciting like-minded individuals for a class action lawsuit: Meiselman, Denlea, Packman, Carton & Eberz P.C. Attorneys at Law.
No doubt, eating right isn't always easy. But you don't have to be stupid about it either. And thinking you can eat a cookie instead of a well-balanced diet full of whole grains, lean protein and fresh fruits and vegetables? Sounds stupid. Who knew?

It all ended before it ever started.
Michael Porter Jr., the basketball savant who'd come to lift Missouri from its misery, is now sidelined for three to four months — mostly likely the entire season — due to a back injury that will require surgery, per the school's stunning announcement on Tuesday, the same day the program flew to Orlando, Florida, for Thanksgiving weekend's Advocare Invitational tournament.
Well, the Missouri basketball landscape and especially the 2018 NBA Draft landscape has taken a huge left turn. Michael Porter not only suffered a season ending injury, he has a spinal injury. Not ideal for 6'10" NBA prospects – this shakes up the entire draft process.
According to NBADraft.net – the player expected to wear the draft cap first would be Michael Porter. Now, the #1 pick is wide open for the most part. Arizona big man DeAndre Ayton could be number one, or Duke star Marvin Bagley could be the top selection. Slovenian superstar Luka Doncic has picked up the attention of many NBA scouts and has risen on draft boards fast.
The last three seasons, Markelle Fultz, Ben Simmons, and Karl Anthony Towns were the sure fire #1 picks in the draft. It's still early in college basketball, but this draft could be wide open for the #1 pick. Depending on who gets the pick and which of the top 4 players separates themselves.

For the children at Guatemala's Hospicio San Jose de la Montaña, finding transportation is no small accomplishment. The children are HIV-positive, and offers of assistance can be hard to come by.
The Volunteer Fire Fighters from Joyabaj, El Quiché, Guatemala serve an area with a population of 500,000 inhabitants and are desperately in need of an ambulance to transport critically injured people to the main hospital.
The Village of Patzun, Guatemala with a population of 40,000 inhabitants is still recovering from the devastation caused by Hurricane Stan. The entire community has only one pickup truck to transport sick and injured patients to their main hospital.
Each of these 3 communities received an ambulance, donated by the city of Louisville in the USA and driven to Guatemala by a group of volunteers from Louisville. See story below.
Convoy Drives of Ambulances Cross the Border
The following account from Dr John Barker, tells the story of driving three donated retired ambulances from Louisville, Kentucky to Guatemala, where they were turned over to new owners: the San Jose Orphanage for HIV positive children, the Fire Department of Santa Cruz de Quiche and the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Renacer in Patzun. When he became aware that the vehicles would soon be retired, Dr. Barker approached Louisville Metro EMS Director Dr Neal Richmond, and asked if EMS would consider donating the ambulances to recipients in Latin America. It took two years making the arrangements and a nine-day, 3,000-mile journey to accomplish the task.

The caravan left Louisville heading south through Nashville, Memphis, and Little Rock and then stopped for the night outside of Texarkana, Arkansas. The next day we drove into Texas and arrived in Houston in the afternoon. At the International Airport we collected the seventh ambulance driver, John Michael Musselman, who had flown in from California to join the adventure. From the airport the caravan headed south, arriving late that night in Kingsville, Texas near the US-Mexico border. This "north of the border" portion of the trip was largely uneventful as everyone looked forward to entering the unknown territory south of the border.
Monday, June 11
The border crossing proved to be an interesting and lengthy process which took nearly seven hours. The day began early in the small border town of Los lndios, Texas at the customs agency, "Transmigrates Mireya", where the paperwork necessary to transport the ambulances through Mexico was processed. The office was housed in a makeshift trailer hidden in a sea of used school buses, pickup trucks, and used cars also waiting for papers before crossing the border into Mexico. During our long wait, we met the drivers, who purchase used vehicles in the US and take them to Guatemala, Honduras and Costa Rica for resale. We learned from them the do's and don'ts about the trip ahead. While the advice varied from driver to driver, the one thing they all agreed on was: "Do not drive at night."
During our long wait, we met a friendly couple, Felix and Laura Hernandez from Texas, who were also traveling to Guatemala to deliver a truckload of donated supplies to an orphanage. This was a fortunate meeting since Laura and Felix, a Guatemalan native, had made this trip many times and had firsthand knowledge of the trip ahead. We all took an immediate liking to the couple and were delighted when they offered to join the caravan. When we finally crossed the border into Mexico, each vehicle was "fumigated," which interestingly consisted of spraying the two tires on the driver's side of each ambulance. The border crossing left the caravan a few dollars poorer but one vehicle and two friends richer. Quickly we headed south along the Gulf Coast Highway to the city of Tampico, arriving well after dark, and spent the night.
Tuesday, June 12
From Tampico the caravan headed south along good roads and through numerous toll booth stops and military/police road-blocks where "donations" were encouraged. Late in the afternoon as we approached the outskirts of Vera Cruz we finally saw blue water, where the Gulf of Mexico lapped against palm-lined beaches. Without hesitation all the men stripped to the waist and dove into the waves. Refreshed, we drove into Vera Cruz, where, upon the suggestion of Felix and Laura, we checked in to a nice, high-rise called the Hotel Regency on the famous shoreline boulevard near the port.

Wednesday, June 13
Knowing that the next stretch of the trip would reach the Guatemalan border and would be the longest drive yet, we decided to take a day off to relax and get a taste of Vera Cruz and its surroundings. From the front door of the hotel it was a twenty minute stroll along the picturesque shoreline boulevard to the main plaza in the old city. There we sat for hours at one of the many sidewalk cafes, watching the passing parade, with the mariachi bands serenading anyone they could. Afterwards everyone squeezed into one ambulance and went for a short drive outside of Vera Cruz to the archeological ruins of Zempoala. These ruins date back to the 14th and 15th centuries, when at its height, it was the capital and largest city on the Gulf of Mexico and was among the first cities visited by the Spanish explorer Cortes. Back at Vera Cruz, we enjoyed a wonderful meal at one of the many seafood restaurants along the shoreline boulevard.
Thursday, June 14
Before sunrise the caravan rolled out of Vera Cruz and headed south across the Mexican peninsula toward the city of Tapachula, located on the Pacific coast near the Guatemalan border. The good road conditions plus fewer toll booths and military/police roadblocks made for a quick ride, and we arrived at Tapachula in mid-afternoon with several hours of sunlight remaining. After finding a nice, AIR CONDITIONED hotel in the center of the city, we strolled the plaza to enjoy the sights, sounds and smells of Tapachula. For a Thursday, we were surprised to find the plaza filled with street vendors selling souvenirs and freshly cooked food to hundreds of people enjoying the entertainment of two live bands. After a few laps around, we chose a nearby "tipico" restaurant and sat down to enjoy one of the best meals of the trip.
Friday, June 15
Early in the morning, in the hotel lobby, Dr. Barker met with representatives from two of the three organizations to which the ambulances would be donated. These included bomberos (firemen) from Quiche and Dr. Teresa Upun from the Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Renacer in Patzun. After introductions, Dr. Barker officially transferred the titles of the three vehicles into the names of their new Guatemalan owners, and in doing so, also transferred the responsibility of importing the ambulances into Guatemala.
Crossing the border into Guatemala was far more interesting than the U.S.- Mexico crossing and took nearly twice as long. While waiting almost ten hours for our "paperwork" to be processed, we explored the shops, makeshift stands, and restaurants while watching the never-ending traffic of vehicles, pedestrians and animals filling the colorful, bustling streets with the everyday commerce that defines this lively border town. There was a constant flow of young children working as "pack animals" carrying heavy loads of soda bottles, boxes of detergent, cans of cooking oil and large containers filled with diesel oil. Men carried large wallets filled with currency to exchange Mexican pesos, Guatemalan quetzals and US dollars for those crossing the border. Numerous vendors set up their stands on wheels to cook and sell breakfast, lunch and dinner for all the travelers. All of this occurred beneath a large sign which warned: "Prohibido Vender en la Calle" or "prohibited to sell items in the street." In the midst of all this, in the early afternoon Felix and Laura completed their paperwork and everyone bid them thanks and farewell, promising to follow and meet again. Finally, at 8:00 p.m., as the border was about to close and everyone started to worry in earnest, we got word from the bomberos that the paperwork was complete.
Even though many miles lay between us and our final destination, driving across the border into Guatemala somehow made us feel better. We could "see the light at the end of the tunnel." From this point on, three bomberos and Dr. Teresa Upun accompanied and guided us, delivering each vehicle to its respective town/owner. The first delivery was to the bomberos in Quiche, located about a seven-hour drive from the border crossing.
To make better time, our group decided to take a shortcut over the mountains, which proved to be the most adventurous 24 hours of the trip. Because we had not crossed the border until 8:00 p.m., our first leg into Guatemala lasted only a few hours. Well after dark, the wet and muddy motorcade arrived in the small town of Coatepeque, located only 40 miles from the Mexican border. Coatepeque lies along the Naranjo River at an elevation of 2,300 feet, in the heart of Guatemala's richest coffee-growing area. We stayed overnight in the only hotel with secure parking for the ambulances (in fact, the only hotel in town). The hotel was appropriately named "Hotel Europa" and our multiple bedrooms contained all required comforts, including fans, beds and cold water. After our usual stroll around the main plaza, we asked our bombero hosts to suggest a "tipico' restaurant and they quickly responded, saying they knew "just the place" and took us to a restaurant called "Pollo Campero," a Guatemalan version of Kentucky Fried Chicken!
|On the road
Saturday, June 16
Early the next morning we hit the road, this time with the goal of delivering the first ambulance to the capital city of Quiche, Santa Cruz by day's end. For breakfast, recognizing we wanted something more "tipico" than the night before, the bomberos surprised us and we had breakfast at McDonald's. Amazingly, the McDonald's they chose was very modern, with an adjoining Starbucks-type café called McCafe. After a few more hours on the road, we arrived in Santa Cruz de Quiche with sirens blaring and all our lights flashing. We were greeted with great fanfare by eight of the seventeen members of the local fire department. After introduc-tions and photos, we were invited into the main fire station, where a brief but heartfelt ceremony was held, thanking us for our generous gift.
With one ambulance delivered, we set out for our next delivery, the orphanage Hospicio San Jose de la Montana in Santa Luica Milpas Altas. We were still driving over the mountains. The road conditions began to deteriorate. We came across many sections of road with gaping holes, some four feet wide and a foot deep. And then it started to rain. The situation worsened when we got to a hill so steep that one of our ambulances could not climb it. We tried to tow one with the other, but no luck. Minutes later, out of nowhere, a group of bomberos in an SUV appeared, attached their vehicle to ours, and hauled it up the hill with relative ease. Late that night, after the children were asleep, we arrived at the orphanage. We decided to return the next day for the formal presentation.
Sunday, June 17
Early in the morning we loaded the team into one of the ambulances and a minibus and drove one hour to Patzun to deliver the second ambulance to the Centro de Desarrollo Inland! Renacer. Upon arriving in Patzun, we were met by old friends of Dr. Barker who live in Guatemala, Mr. Joe De Cicco and Dr. Teresa Upun. For over a year prior to this trip, Joe De Cicco and his assistant Analia Torres worked tirelessly with Dr. Barker to coordinate the transfer of the ambulances and, in a sense, make this all possible. After a warm welcome and introductions, Dr. Upun took us to her clinic in the city center, where she introduced everyone to the staff at her facility and gave us a tour. On the tour we learned that their Centro de Desarrollo Infantil Renacer is a non-governmental organization whose purpose is to provide primary health care and related education to children at 60 rural health care dispensaries, serving a population of 12,000 throughout the region. The staff explained how the ambulance would be used to transport their medical, educational and social worker members to these out-lying dispensaries and to transport critical patients from the rural areas into the larger central hospital in Guatemala City. Following the tour, staff members thanked us and explained how our gift would most benefit the women of the region. This is because, in their society, women bear the responsibility of providing health care and education. To conclude the ceremony, we received certificates of appreciation, gifts, hugs and warm heartfelt thanks for our gen-erosity.
Next we visited the weekend farmers' market, where vendors spread their goods on the streets throughout the city center. The sights and smells of this crowded marketplace stirred the imagination. Perhaps most fascinating was the skill of the Guatemalan women who wove their way effortlessly through the crush, carrying large baskets on their heads. Their bright and colorful embroidered clothes and their quiet, shy smiles gave the bustling city center a cheerful circus air.
After our visit to Patzun, Dr. Upun invited the team, along with her family and several of her co-workers, to a wonderful and plentiful lunch at a roadside restaurant. After lunch we said our goodbyes and loaded up for a one-hour journey to Santa Lucia Milpas Altas, to deliver our last ambulance to the Orphanage Hospicio San Jose.
When we arrived at the orphan-age, we were met by several staff members and surrounded by the children. We spent most of our visit playing with the children, but also got a tour of the facility, which provides a full spectrum of care to HIV positive children. The facility is currently the home of 52 children (ages three months to 16 years) and six adults, all of whom receive a full range of schooling and health care services. The facility also provides health care services to 200 children on an outpa-tient basis.
Once we toured their facility, they toured our ambulance. The children especially got a kick out of working the lights, siren and loudspeaker. The staff explained how the stigma of HIV in their society was still an extreme burden, so much so that no one will even give patients a ride. Together we unloaded the many boxes of medical supplies, clothing and school essentials, all gifts from Louisvillians. With some tears, we finally headed back to Antigua, empty-handed at last.
We spent the last few days relaxing and exploring the beautiful Spanish Colonial city of Antigua, 45 minutes by car from Guatemala City. It's the original capital of the Spanish Empire in Latin America and is perhaps the most outstanding and best-preserved colonial city in "Spanish Speaking" America. Antigua stands 4,500 feet above sea level and is flanked by three spectacular volcanoes, one still active. We explored the streets, churches, houses, squares, parks and ruins in Antigua. It was like stepping back into 14th century Spain, and it was an elegant ending to our Louisville-Guatemala ambulance adventure. Mission Accomplished! Ili

Local Business Matches Wage Gap on Equal Pay Day
Rambling House – owned by Jen Lynch – will offer women a 20% discount to recognize the 80 cents women earn for every dollar men make
Columbus — On Equal Pay Day (Tuesday, April 10), Rambling House will provide a 20 percent discount for all women in order to help bring awareness to the persistent wage gap that harms working women across the country.
"It's sad that in the 21st century women still have to work harder and longer to receive equal pay," said Rambling House owner Jen Lynch. "As a small business owner, I'm proud we can help spread awareness about this atrocious pay gap between men and women."
Every year, Equal Pay Day marks the day beyond one year that women would have to work to catch up with what white men earned the previous calendar year. Women in the United States would have to work until Tuesday, April 10th of this year to receive the same 2017 salary that white men earned last year because of the gender pay gap.
"The wage gap is yet another obstacle disadvantaging women across the country and in Ohio," said ProgressOhio Managing Director Monica Moran, who helped organize the event. "While women are expected to work harder and longer to be paid the same as men, they also spend more time on household work and taking care of children than men. On top of everything, women continue to be financially penalized for having children while men actually make more money."
Across the country, women earn only 80 cents for every dollar that a man is paid, or about $10,086 less per year in median income than white men. In Ohio specifically, women earn roughly 77 cents for every dollar, with lifetime losses totaling $459,080.
Despite arguments that market forces will close the wage gap, this change is coming very, very slowly; at the current rate, women in Ohio won't receive the same compensation as men for almost 50 years, until 2067.

Oakland, Berkeley, And East Bay News, Events, Restaurants, Music, & Arts
Def Leppard: Majestic English hair-metal titans offering robustly shrieked odes to woe and libido. Subtle: Panoramic Oaklandish avant-pop weirdos offering cryptically rapped odes to (just guessing here) woe and libido."
And never the twain should've met. But a pair of horrific car accidents has linked the two in terrible tragedy and (just hoping here) glorious, improbable, and technologically aided recovery and rebirth.
Rick Allen: Def Leppard drummer who lost an arm in a hideous New Year's Eve 1984 Corvette wreck, but, aided by a Tron-caliber space-age drum kit, has fully recovered and kept (robotically precise) time on five Def Lep albums since, including 1987's mighty Hysteria.
Dax Pierson: Subtle keyboardist paralyzed from the chest down in a February '05 tour van wreck, but, aided by a Matrix-caliber fleet of computer equipment, appears well on the (dauntingly long) road to recovery and will valiantly appear on every Subtle album to come, including this summer's quite possibly mighty for hero: for fool.
Rick, of course, has gradually lapsed into a mire of corny balladry and domestic violence; Dax is on a tougher but purer path. Journeying to Slim's in SF on a recent Friday night for Subtle's first show in a great while, it's a bummer that the crowd's dreams of a Triumphant Dax Sighting would he descend from the ceiling in a pink wheelchair, or wheelie gleefully down the length of the bar? go unfulfilled, but the band's reinvigorated intensity suggests its ailing comrade has much of the same.
"Dax is back," crows Subtle frontman Adam "Doseone" Drucker the most prominent name/voice in the East Bay experimental hip-hop Anticon crew from the back of the house as the night begins with a solo set from his bandmate, Jel. "Motherfuckin' machines," the rapper and drum programming maestro laments with a laugh as his gear momentarily craps out, while Doseone raves about the way those same machines have turned Dax into a high-tech force on wheels. Though limited to shoulder and biceps movement, he's making the most of it with a cadre of braces, computer mouses, and production software like GarageBand. He also has taken up beatboxing.
"He's really lucky," Doseone admits. "You frown on technology, but when you see Dax, you're like, 'Holy shit.'"
A full recovery is not guaranteed but not completely improbable the Official Subtle Anecdote for 2006 recounts a recent night in the studio when, listening to playback of for hero: for fool material, Dax announced that, for the first time since the accident, he'd moved his finger. Just then. "He started to move his thumb," Doseone reiterates. "There's always hope, man."
In the interim, though, there's years of arduous therapy and, despite a continual outpouring of public support (especially flowing from Dax's day job at Berkeley's Amoeba Music), plenty of financial strife to contend with. "One million dollars will get spent," Dose says, between the tech and constantly necessary 'round-the-clock attendants. His triumphant recovery and rebirth has begun, but don't expect to see Dax onstage anytime soon.
His five Subtle bandmates, however, are back on tour and in unsubtle, tremendous form. First, after Jel's set, comes Fog, aka Minnesota weirdo Andrew Broder, best known for warped bedroom hip-hop laments. Andrew is frequently amazing and invariably bizarre he dedicates a tune to Dax and then delicately croons the opening line: You know what they say/About doing laundry on your birthday. Profound.
Subtle itself is even more harsh, bizarre, and menacingly delicate, even without a partially paralyzed beatboxer in the mix. All five dudes mostly manning live drums, a drum machine, cello, flute/sax, and Dose's vox and keyboard action, respectively are clad in blood-red outfits, with Dose additionally wearing some sort of black-and-white-striped mink stole/bath towel he dramatically flings off within two minutes.
The sound itself is dense, apocalyptic, and occasionally quite beautiful, when a cello or flute line can rise above and sharply contrast with the snare- and keyboard-banging cacophony. Dose, meanwhile, unleashes a torrent of nasal, rapid-fire, well-nigh-inscrutable verbiage he's the only guy who earnestly describes the progress on his next album by saying "I'm a thousand words into it." As the collective inches deeper into its first full decade of existence, Anticon remains notorious for this avant-garde, robo-Beefheart surrealist sound, but Subtle seems to be sheparding its evolution, still intimidating but slightly warmer. Most of Dose's flailing stage antics and loopy banter doesn't exactly project sincerity, but he pauses once to note "We've been through some heavy shit, and we've made some beautiful things with it. I want to dedicate every last scrap of what I have left to Dax Pierson."
for hero: for fool comes out later this year, and though you can expect plenty of Anticon/Subtle's gleeful abnormality, don't be surprised it's a bit more reflective and emotive as well. "No matter how aligned you are, you can always be realigned," Doseone explains. And no matter how broken you are, there's always the possibility that a combination of love, science, and willpower can fix you.

This post was edited on 09 May 2017 to add some clarity around authenticating with the Strava API.
In 2016 I made a commitment to myself to record every cycle ride I made. As both a leisure cyclist and cycle commuter, I was keen to know how far I rode in a year, what was the accumulated distance of my daily commute, what distance did I cover on my leisure rides. I already recorded my weekend rides in a phone app called Strava, so it was pretty easy to get into the habit of clicking a button on my phone every time I set off on a cycle commute too.
So as we ended 2016, my thoughts turned to what my end of year results would be in Strava. However, as it turned out the data presented to Strava users (shown below) is quite lightweight. It only provides a total distance cycled for the year, and while you can tag a ride as a 'commute', nothing is actually done with this data in the Strava interface and the end of year results are not split between commute and non-commute, for example.

You often do not hear about the voices to videogames. Here is an informative interview with Patricia Summersett the voice of Zelda.
I do not have a Switch so no clue if Breath of the Wild is good or not. Last Zelda game I played was Oracle of Ages and hated it and have not played a Zelda game since.
Its an interesting article about her career as an actress and voice actress. Folks who do voice for a living tend to be totally ignored. Nice to read about one.

To prepare for this fall's Best of Dallas® 2012 issue, we're counting down (in no particular order) our 100 Favorite Dishes. If there's a dish you think we need to try, leave it in the comments or email me.
There's a perception that there's no ramen to be had in Dallas, and it's wrong. You can get a bowl in Richardson at Sapporo Ramen & Sushi or at Shushiism in Carrollton. Those bowls are fine, but Tei-An's is so much better it makes the the others seem like a waste of time.
The broth is a perfect savory soup based on pork bones that's adorned with seaweed, green onions and bamboo shoots. Each is carefully added to the bowl so it looks as good as it tastes. And a serving or ramen at Tei-An is $9.95, only $2 more than the suburban bowls.

Chef Teiichi Sakurai should offer more varieties. Or even a secret ramen stall at the back of his restaurant. Or better yet just open a ramen house. The soup is taking off in popularity all over the country. Dallas is ready.

Southern Horrors: Women and the Politics of Rape and Lynching
Southern Horrors explores the racial and sexual politics of the Post Civil War South predominantly through the political writings, speeches, and lives of two prominent female figures of the era. Feimster describes the period through Rebecca Latimer Felton, a white woman from the stately plantation class, educated and raised during antebellum south, and Ida B. Wells, a the daughter of former slaves, raised during the reconstruction era.
The author begins by describing the two women's origins and how they came to rally around the issues of rape and women's protection. "Protection", in this context, is what would be, in modern times, included in the definition of women's suffrage. It was a push for women to obtain the right to own property, have a bank account, inherit estates, and seek justice for wrongdoings or violence done against them. Both Felton and Wells were revolutionary in their own ways, challenging and breaking through the gender norms and expectations of the era. However, their experiences were staunchly different and in many ways based solely upon their racial identities.
I found it intriguing that Feimster chose to follow both a white woman and a black woman to describe the sexual and gender violence embedded in early twentieth century politics. The strategy definitely helped to paint the entire picture of the conflicting struggles of the Southern reconstruction. On the one hand, there was a push to preserve traditional Southern norms; on the other, pressure from the black community for inclusion and equality.
Both women were particularly fascinating, especially in their approaches and ideologies. Wells highlighted that the threat of rape and sexual assault was used as a tool of control, a justification of violence against women, and a way to maintain white male supremacist power. She was a radical voice and decades ahead of her time; her ideas were characteristic of activists of the women's movement in the United States in the 1960s. Felton started her political career by advocating for rights and protection for all women, regardless of race or class, but later completely switched her views to better appeal to the male audiences and supporters.
My initial reaction to Felton's shift in politics was outrage. I was terribly disappointed, though not surprised, in her neglect and discarding of black women's issues. I saw a parallel of second wave feminist activism and marginalization of women of color in Felton's shift. Her lack of conviction was frustrating and left me wondering how history may have been altered if she had held true. The text also discusses more general ideas of Southern white masculinity, black masculinity, the convict leasing system, the politics behind lynching, and both women's involvement in and victimization of lynching.
I admire and respect the way in which Feimster presented the two women. Her analysis of the events was critical and highly thought provoking, and I often found myself sitting lost in thought after finishing a chapter. While not a leisurely read, it was enjoyable overall. There was quite a bit of material to process and think about, and I often found myself wishing I had someone to discuss it with.
While it is relatively easy to find people to discuss the issues of race and class in the South in general terms, to really engage in the material presented proved more difficult. This book would be an excellent basis of discussion on early women's movement and the intersections of race, class, and sexuality. It also presents many hidden histories of the South, which can be shocking and intense at times.

"While I'm not an expert on American evangelicalism, I think aspects of 17th-century antinomianism have become mainstream in many of our churches. Many believers assume that some, if not all, of the moral law no longer applies, or that it only applies because the commands are re-affirmed in the New Testament" - TGC

The author goes to great lengths to maintain all sorts of nuanced distinctions from a historical perspective, then lumps together those who believe there is nothing to do in sanctification with those who understand that the law of Moses has been replaced with the law of Christ.
From a historical standpoint, there may be similarities with the faction called "antinomians," but there is nothing genuinely anti-law about believing God has replaced one law with another, and that active obedience is still central to Christian living.
Today's antinomians are the do-nothing/passive-sanctification crowd, mostly claiming to be "Reformed."
Views expressed are always my own and not my employer's, my church's, my family's, my neighbors', or my pets'. The house plants have authorized me to speak for them, however, and they always agree with me.

Exactly. The irony of finding this posted on the TGC site is rich.

Right On
You are absolutely right. Even Rolland McCune whose doctorate specialized in OT Theology and who also was an ardent, classical dispensationalist, insisted that the OT law when repeated in the NT, being rooted in the unchanging character of God, and promoted no fundamental dispensational conflict, was an eternal witness to the eternal righteousness and holiness of God. God's people were not and are not a lawless people. No place for anti-nomianism. In the NT there are 1300 plus commands and admonitions.
Pastor Mike Harding
Claiming to be Reformed
In our neck of the woods, antinomian churches are more likely to be Arminian than Reformed. I read about those claiming to be Reformed who are antinomian, but seldom encounter living examples in my sphere of relationships.
It is also noteworthy that I am acquainted with a good number of "Reformed Baptists" who do not believe that the Mosaic Law is God's law for New Covenant people. In this respect, they are much closer to Dispensationalists than to Covenant Theology. Their position is that the New Testament Scriptures define God's law for New Covenant believers, pretty much as stated by Aaron above. Reformed Baptists of a Covenant Theology position do not like to refer to these as Reformed Baptists, but in every other respect they are exactly that. (And so the debates rage on.)

Fellowship must be organic for it to be authentic, but community is becoming so rare these days that we try and facilitate our communities fellowship by certain events throughout the year. Of course our fellowship isn't limited to these events, but instead fellowship should be happening all the time.
Here are some of the regular activities we do:
- Tuesday Night Dinners (Going out to eat during the Summer)
- Attending a Baseball Game
- Dinners for 8
- Bowling Night
- Advent Festival
- Women's Breakfast
- Men's Breakfast
- Trinity Ladies' Club
- And regular Church Picnics and Potlucks
But our real hope is that fellowship is what happens as we live in authentic community together.

MOSCOW -- Russia's second-largest mobile phone operator MegaFon says it will go public in London and Moscow in November.
MegaFon, the last of Russia's big three mobile company to hold an IPO, said on Tuesday in a regulatory filing that it would sell an unspecified amount of stock at Moscow's MICEX and the London Stock Exchange by year-end.
MegaFon is controlled by Russian tycoon Alisher Usamov's investment vehicle.
Shares will be sold by Swedish co-owner TeliaSonera, which owns 35.6 percent, and MegaFon itself.
MegaFon, second only to MTS in the number of subscribers, is focused on the Russian market, unlike MTS and Vimpelcom which have expanded outside Russia.
Moscow-based investment bank UralSib estimates the company value at $13 billion. Analysts speculated that MegaFon could float 20 percent of its stock.

Our team had another successful day of surveying damaged buildings in Tacloban, Philippines. The engineers have done enough of the survey work now that they know what to look for, noting similarities and differences between sites. One thing that begins to sink in after going through these damaged buildings is the massive scale of the disaster. As an engineer in the U.S., I review damaged and deteriorated building conditions as part of my business. The difference here is not only the severity of the damage caused, but its extent. We have spent days and days looking at damaged buildings, and have not scratched the surface on what could be seen. Typhoon Yolanda was a serious storm that really hit this region hard. Schools, government offices, residences, and commercial buildings were all affected. And yet, life goes on. Temporary buildings have been erected and school classes are being held in tents. We see this as we visit partially occupied facilities. The rebuilding effort required is massive, and although it has been underway for six months, there is a long way to go.
The morale of the team is good. All are in good spirits and the working relation is compatible. In fact, the group dynamic of deference-to-the-other is in place. Due to the hotel shortage in Tacloban, four of us had to share a hotel room. When it came time to select beds, there were the usual comments of "take whichever one you would like." As such it left [team member] Jean-Paul Pinelli with the largest bed and Shenen Chen, the team leader, with the smallest. Probably not as we would have anticipated, but all worked out well. The grief Jean-Paul has gotten for that decision will recede in a day or two. That will probably be the last "all-nighter" of my life with civil engineering professors. I am okay with that. It has been the same thing with meal choices. Nobody is bringing strong opinions to the dinner table, so we are eating consensus choices (with rice, of course).
A good source for calibration of expectations of construction practice has been our Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH) engineer. After witnessing the manufacture of locally batched concrete, with materials spread out on a roadway and a (barefooted) man mixing with a shovel, I had a discussion with him about quality control and assurance. He admitted that it is a problem. There is knowledge of good practices held by engineers and some construction company owners, but it does not always make its way down to the level of the foreman as much as it should. In fact, there are only two testing laboratories in Tacloban: one private company and one DPWH facility. Needless to say, cost significantly limits materials quality validation in Philippine construction. This situation is more prevalent in regions such as this, outside Manila, according to our companion.
Another thing about a trip such as this is to see first-hand how affluent the U.S. is in comparison. The Philippines is a very poor country in many places. The general level of income, standard of living, and infrastructure are much less than in the U.S. Most of the people of the Tacloban area earn a living by fishing, farming, or as simple merchants. The economy here does not offer nearly the opportunities as the U.S. This is observed in many ways beyond the obvious situation of noting how many individuals are living in simple structures clad with metal panels, without indoor plumbing or electricity. We are fortunate that we are able to joke about the large and small beds in a hotel room. When a comparison is made, we understand that there is nothing to complain about. Count your blessings to live in the U.S.
On Saturday, May 3, a team of seven civil engineers from ASCE's Technical Council on Forensic Engineering, in cooperation with the Technical Council on Wind Engineering, left for the Philippines on a week-long mission to conduct post-disaster assessments, documenting evidence of structural and geo-system damage to historic and residential structures and public infrastructure. Mark E. Leeman, P.E., M.ASCE, vice president of Facility Engineering Associates of Fairfax, Virginia, chronicles the team's experiences in this exclusive daily report for ASCE. This is the sixth installment in the series.

When a home hits the market for the first time, often times the sellers are mis-informed of its value or they choose to ignore the pricing guidance from their listing agent. Either way, the only solution is to either wait for the market to catch up or to reduce the price within the range of its fair market value. This can be especially true when unscrupulous agents mislead homeowners who have high end homes and the agent wants to "land the listing" without regard for the best interests of the home sellers.
As somebody looking to buy a home in Tallahassee, you should monitor price reductions every day (assuming you are ready to "pull the trigger" and buy a home today). Why?
Home seller price reductions are often a sign of changing motivations, when sellers move from the realm of "Fantasy Land" to the actual market place of "Reality." Unfortunately for these home sellers, this price-reduction strategy will likely lead them to a sale at a price lower than had they hit the market with the correct initial asking price.
And this means opportunity for you.
Now before we go on, you have to understand that not all seller asking-price changes are downward moves. Sometimes, home sellers raise their asking price. Ninety five times out of a hundred, the reason is due to the supreme ignorance of their listing agent who is merely trying to maintain a relationship with the seller long enough to hopefully get paid.
Any of these adjustments have the potential to add value.
For the remaining 95 sellers in a 100 who are convinced to raise their price, they are not ready to sell, just leave them alone. Think about it like this ... nobody fancied their home at $300,000, so they raise their price to $315,000??? How well do you think that works out? Do you think the home compares more favorably to the competition at a higher price or a lower price?
Just because a homeowner lowers his asking price does not now make the home a good value. It merely shows the potential for a more-motivated home seller. Regardless of market conditions, only motivated home sellers get their homes sold.
Lowering a home's asking price might not change its market-ability at all. If a $300,000 home is on the market for $360,000 and the seller reduces it to $350,000, NOTHING has happened. It's still an over-priced listing with an unmotivated seller.
Unfortunately for home sellers, buyers are not stupid. They look at all the homes in their price range, and select among the best values to see offline. Pricing correctly is the key to attracting enough buyers to create value.
If you would like to be texted when a new opportunity hits the market, please complete the form and use the note section to provide us a phone number and tell us about the home that you want us to find for you.
Understanding value and pricing are just part of the equation in how your real estate company is going to save you money (yes, I said company, not agent). If you are selling, you need a team that works exclusively to market and sell homes for top dollar. If you are buying, you need a team that works around the clock to ensure you get the right home, at the right price, without paying a bunch of outrageous third-party fees.
Whether buying or selling, we would like the opportunity to interview for the job of being your real estate company. I promise you will be better informed and more likely to be successful after we talk, even if you choose to hire another company.
To get the ball rolling, you can CONTACT US HERE to let us know when you would like to meet.

A street sign on the Long Island Expressway led me to the I Love NY app. If you allow it to access your location, it will show you several of the things to do, places to eat, etc in the region that you are in. You can also save certain regions as favorites or go to the region that you're looking into visiting.
I had fun playing around on the app, and it worked flawlessly on my smartphone. I can't wait to try it out in my home region.
