Washington softball: Tigers rally past Ferris in ninth for regional berth
Sat., May 17, 2014
Lewis and Clark couldn't seal the deal with its first two chances.
Sage Scheiwiller took care of the third opportunity.
Scheiwiller's two-out, two-run single to center field capped a three-run ninth inning Friday as the Tigers (13-8) claimed the No. 2 seed to regionals with a 4-3 win over Ferris (11-11) to cap the District 8 4A tournament at Whitworth University's Marks Field.
Scheiwiller, also the winning pitcher, surrendered a two-run homer to her counterpart, Michele Strauss, as Ferris took a 3-1 lead in the top of the ninth. The game had reached that point because the Tigers failed to score in the sixth and eighth after loading the bases with one out.
"I believed in our girls," said Scheiwiller, who struck out 10 and walked one. "We've been there and it was so close each time we were up to bat, so I knew we needed that last chance just to get to them."
"They made a mistake and good teams take advantage of mistakes," LC coach Paul Neff said. " 'Straussy' took advantage of a mistake by Sage and we came back and took advantage of their mistake."
The Tigers advanced to regionals for the first time since 2010. They'll open at 3 p.m. May 24 at University High against the Mid-Columbia Conference's No. 1.
Strauss struck out nine, walked one and had three RBIs. She's the lone senior on a team that caught fire after starting the Greater Spokane League season 2-7.
"The energy kept me going," Scheiwiller said. "I knew I had to keep going until either I made a mistake or Michele Strauss made a mistake, and she doesn't make very many."
District 8 3A
University 4, North Central 3: Also at Whitworth, Kirsten Anstrom's one-out, bases-loaded single to center in the bottom of the seventh snapped a 3-all tie as the Titans (16-5) edged the Indians (6-15) to earn a regional home game.
Loser-out regionals are set for 4 p.m. Tuesday. The second-seeded Titans will host Mid-Columbia No. 3 Kennewick while No. 3 NC travels to MCC No. 2 Hanford.
NC led 3-1 after Kaylee Levien's bases-clearing double to left field in the sixth. U-Hi left fielder Emilie Farrell hit the fence on the play and left the game, but Titans coach Jon Schuh thought she would be fine.
U-Hi trimmed the lead to 3-2 in its sixth when leadoff batter Rachael Johnson bunted for a hit, moved to third on a two-base throwing error and scored on a wild pitch. Anstrom tripled but was stranded at third.
"I was impressed that after (NC) scored three runs that we came back and scored one right away," Schuh said. "That was a big deal, but then when we have a girl on third and our 3, 4 and 5 hitters can't bring her in, that just tells me that we're not mentally where we need to be."
Pitcher Alex Douglas led off U-Hi's seventh with a triple to right. Two walks loaded the bases before Johnson's one-out infield single scored courtesy runner Hailey Howard to tie the game. Anstrom slapped the winner against a drawn-in infield.
"I thought we played better defense today and I thought Alex had better velocity and control," Schuh said. "It's just one of those confidence-builders."
District 9 2B
Gar-Pal/T-O 4, Tri-Cities Prep 3: Chandler Pfaff scattered seven hits and McKenzie McClanahan had two RBIs as the Vikings (12-6) edged the Jaguars at Walla Walla to earn the No. 3 seed to the May 24 7/9 regional at Richland.

A range of major reforms to child care and early learning, schools and higher education will be complemented by a new Skilling Australians Fund that will ensure Australians have more pathways to get the education they need to succeed.
The 2017–18 Budget reinforces the Department of Education and Training's key role in delivering an education system which provides opportunities for all Australians, no matter their background or where they live.
The department's budget measures include:
Quality Schools
The Quality Schools reform will deliver schools funding that is fair, transparent, equitable and needs-based, with funding tied to reforms that will make a difference to every child. This includes a 12 month extension to the National Partnership Agreement on Universal Access to Early Childhood Education which will provide more certainty for the preschool sector.
Higher Education Reform Package
The Higher Education Reform Package will deliver a more sustainable sector with more choices for students and increase transparency and accountability in higher education.
Jobs for Families
Further strengthening of the Jobs for Families Child Care Package will provide more targeted support to families who need it most.
Skills and Training
A new Skilling Australians Fund will be established which, when matched with funding from the states, will support apprentices, trainees, and higher level skilled Australians.
The new Industry Specialist Mentoring for Australian Apprentices program aims to increase retention rates among apprentices, particularly in the first two years of training.
Full details of the 2017-18 Budget are available in the Portfolio Budget Statements 2017-18.

As a Gospel centered church we are constantly striving to implement Jesus' good news into every bit of our makeup. When the Gospel power of Jesus Christ is at the center we can assure that our church is functioning at full capacity, always ready to be shaped, grown, led and used by the Lord. We know that we are Gospel centered by our reliance on Christ's saving and redemptive work and His ability to make disciples through us. Disciple making is of top priority according to Jesus himself (Matthew 28:19), and Gospel Community is where a large quantity of discipleship happens at The Avenue. It is for this reason we must humbly be watchful, checking to see if we are walking in step with the Holy Spirit in our personal lives and in our Gospel Communities. The enemy will strike us there! In order to be healthy disciple makers we must create healthy expectations about the gathering of believers within small groups and ward off evil at the front lines.
Below I have posted an article by the "Gospel Coalition" debunking five common myths about small groups. It is important that that we walk through each of these within our Gospel Communities so we can create a thriving environment for the Gospel to go forth into our cities.

If you stay overnight near Liyutan, make sure you wake up early and stroll around the lake with your bicycle. It is very refreshing and by chance you might get to see beautiful sunrise from the east coastline.
After breakfast, you can start this day by visiting Chihnan Forest Park and ride down hills to connect onto Taiwan Cycling Route number one, which was the main cycling route that has been promoted by the government in the past few years. This route has a separated bike path so you do not have to compete with the scooters, cars, and trucks for the main road. The advantage of riding along east rift valley side is that all signs are clearly marked so you will not get lost, and of course this route is quite flat comparing to the route that ride along the coastline.
First attractions in today's ride will be Fenglin Township, certified by Cittaslow International Organization as a good place to live slowly and peacefully. The other attractions include Mataian aboriginal tribe and wetland, Lintianshan forest, and Ruisui hotsprings for your good rest after a long day cycling trip.

How do I apply for the green deal home improvement fund?
Posted by Tasha Kosviner on 11 June 2014 at 8:26 am
This week the government has launched the green deal home improvement fund (GDHIF). The fund is a stash of cash (£120m to be precise) to be given in grants –that's free money, people! – to anyone who has made eligible energy saving improvements to their home.
To get the funding you must:
- Be improving a domestic property in England and Wales;
- Have had the proposed improvements recommended in an energy performance certificate or green deal advice report within the last two years;
- Ensure that the improvements are eligible for GDHIF (here is the list of measures that are eligible for the green deal home improvement fund);
- Use an authorised green deal installer or provider already registered with the GDHIF (find a list here; For the most results, leave all sections blank except your postcode and remember to check the box to see only companies who are registered with GDHIF. There are currently 112 registered across the country);
- Apply for the voucher BEFORE the work commences at gov.uk/apply-home-improvement-fund;
- Have the installation made within six months of the date of the voucher being issued
Send the voucher, signed by the installer, to the GDHIF administrator by email: firstname.lastname@example.com or by post to the Green Deal Home Improvement Fund PO Box 6900, Basingstoke, RG24 4SY
Along with the voucher, you should attach invoices for the work and your installer's PAS2030 Claims of Conformity which they must give you once work is completed.
As for how long it will take for your payment to be made, so far the government says the scheme administrator will "aim to make payment promptly." However it adds that payments will not start being processed until 11 July 2014.

Hello all,
I applied for a GDHIF voucher in end-march and finally got the voucher in mid-July! One thing I noticed on the voucher is an HIF registration number which needs to be filled in by the suppliers.
I spoke to my cavity wall insulation supplier to ask if they have thier HIF registration number. They said they only had a GDPA number from the Government. On calling the GDHIF helpline they said that the GDPA number is just a provider/installer number and an HIF registration number is needed.
But the providers seem completely unaware of a "HIF number". While the GDHIF helpline refuses to divulge any more details, suggesting me to ask the supplier to contact them! Obviously none of these entities are worried about this confusion as I am the one who will be out of money if the voucher isn't accepted.
Is there any advice for me on this?
Thanks Linn much appreciated.

hi Beemer
the restriction on recommending insulation for system built properties doesn't apply to the Green Deal assessment. So, one way forward would be to get a Green Deal advice report, which should be able to recommend it if it's needed.
It won't always appear as a recommendation (for instance, it won't appear for newer system build homes). For those who want to look it up, this is measure Q1 in Appendix V.
Hi, could do with a definitive answer to this one please :
If a property is of system build format, then external or internal wall insulation are not recommended within the epc.
How can a client progress with their gdhif if it isn't recommended on the epc.
The addendum states that further investigation is required, but how would that transpose onto the epc, if it was found by an installer that ext wall insulation could be applied, as it is an automatic process, whereby ext/int wall insulation will not be recommended for system build properties and without it on the epc the client can't claim ?

Hi Beemer
Yes you can.
They are two different schemes, offering support for different measures. As you know, the GDHIF is a home improvement fund and doesn't cover renewable heat systems. The RHI, or renewable heat incentive, makes payments for those who have installed renewable heating systems, so there is no conflict and no overlap.
Let us know how you get on!
Tasha - YouGen editor
Hi, and thanks for the info. I know you cannot claim the gdhif if you have already claimed under eco or the green deal cash back scheme, but, can you claim the gdhif for, say, solid wall insulation, if you have also claimed RHI for say a new biomass boiler etc?
so basically can you have some money from the gdhif and the RHI pot ?

So we've all wondered how cool it would be to have riot shields and energy shields and whatnot for troops in UFO2000, and here's what I'm thinking, and I'll use a riot shield as an example;
A riot shield takes up a hand slot, leaving your soldier with only a handgun or melee weapon (the shield should have a "bash" option that inflicts a lot of stun damage but not very much real damage) or a very inaccurate rifle/heavy weapon. Basically, the shield makes a collision object (if you see what I mean; something shots will collide with) on the front facing of your soldier - all damage goes directly to the shield (or some leakiness can be implemented, maybe) and after it's taken a certain amount of damage, it breaks.
The catch, of course, is that all shields must be in a hand slot to provide any protection, heavily reducing the effectiveness of heavier weapons. Others could be implemented that would create a bubble or spherical shield around the user. It'd work identically to the riot shield, except it would absorb fire from all angles. Obviously it would probably be best to make a catchall-humanoid-size bubble, rather than fiddle with getting it to adjust shape for every unit.

We have higher priority to the original X-com features than implementing extra features to the battlescape right now. Also, moving on to features such as Geoscape, Unit API, or a simple AI would be ideal now, since battlescape is nearly complete. We really could use help with these issues (Unit API is being worked on I believe, so the other two would probably be a better choice) if anybody would be interested.
This doesn't stop you from creating your own patch to include such extra features though.

Couldn't code my way out of a wet paper bag, sadly.
And I agree that priority should be given to the core X-COM elements over other addons.

Little Birdy

Little Birdy was an Australian alternative rock band formed in Perth, Western Australia, in 2002 by singer and guitarist Katy Steele, drummer Matt Chequer, guitarist and keyboardist Simon Leach, and bass guitarist Scott O'Donoghue. They gained public attention when their single "Relapse" gained popularity on alternative radio stations such as Triple J, leading them to be signed by the record label Eleven: A Music Company. They released three studio albums (all three of which entered the top ten in the ARIA charts), two EPs, and ten singles.
Early history[edit]
Katy Steele's father Rick Steele is a local blues musician in various cover bands, and her brothers Jesse and Luke were both members of The Sleepy Jackson. Jesse left the band in 2000. Steele was the singer-songwriter and guitarist in her band, The Plastik Scene. A friend of Luke's, Simon Leach, heard Steele singing at her brother's 21st birthday party. "Katy was always there... She was around 15 when I saw her sing. Three years later, Katy and I were playing together."[2] Steele left her band and, with Leach as drummer, they performed several gigs as a duo. Scott ('Barney') O'Donoghue later offered to play bass guitar. Leach became tired of percussion and began playing guitar when Matt Chequer joined on drums.[2] In 2002 Little Birdy was formed, named after the Ween song of the same name.[2]
A demo, leaked to radio, was played on alternative stations.[citation needed] A friend of the band dropped a copy at band manager Phil Stevens' home (manager of The Waifs, John Butler Trio and The Flairz). Stevens offered his management services.[3] The band supported Placebo, Morcheeba, and The Superjesus in Perth concerts.[citation needed] A home recording of one of their songs won a WAMi Award for "Indie-Alternative Song of the Year". Triple J, a national radio station, started playing an early version of "Relapse",[4] while local Perth radio station Nova 93.7 aired a demo of "Baby Blue". As a result of independent media coverage and radio playing demos, Australian labels sought to sign the band. Little Birdy opted for the independent Eleven label with distribution through Virgin Records-EMI.[2] Steele, along with Leach, who was a graphic designer, quit their jobs and became full-time musicians after the signing.
Recording career[edit]
Little Birdy released their self-titled debut EP Little Birdy in October 2003, which peaked at No. 27 on the ARIA Singles Chart.[5] "Relapse" reached No. 16 on the Triple J Hottest 100 and "Baby Blue" attained No. 25. In September, Steele, in an interview on Whammo.com.au, described the band's progress: "I think we've already written a lot of the first album already. A lot of songs we play live would be awesome if they were recorded".[4] The band played gigs in London and New York City later that year, with interest from international record companies.
Their second EP, This Is a Love Song, was issued in March 2004 and debuted at No. 22.[5] Also in that month, Steele won the inaugural Jessica Michalik Contemporary Music Award, presented by The Big Day Out.[6] At the ARIA Music Awards of 2004, "Relapse" was nominated for 'Breakthrough Artist - Single'.[7][8]
In October, the band released their debut album, BigBigLove, which was produced and engineered by Paul McKercher (The Cruel Sea, Spiderbait, Augie March) and peaked at No. 5 on the ARIA Albums Chart.[5][9] It contains new versions of "Beautiful" (renamed "Beautiful to Me") and "Relapse", and includes "I Should've Known" with its original title of "Andy Warhol". The album received generally positive critical reviews. Two tracks reached the Triple J Hottest 100 of 2004, "Beautiful to Me" at No. 8 and "Tonight's the Night" at No. 78. Another track, "This Is a Love Song", taken from their This Is a Love Song, attained No. 40.[citation needed]
In 2005, at the WAMi Awards, Steele won 'Best Female Vocalist' and "Beautiful to Me" won 'Most Popular Music Video'. Additional nominations were, Leach for 'Best Guitarist', the band for 'Best Popular Act', 'Most Popular Commercial Pop Act' and 'Best Indie/Pop Act', and BigBigLove as 'Most Popular Album'. At the ARIA Music Awards of 2005, BigBigLove was nominated in four categories: 'Breakthrough Artist - Album', 'Best Rock Album', 'Producer of the Year" (McKercher), and 'Engineer of the Year' (McKercher).[7][10] Also that year, Little Birdy's version of "Six Months in a Leaky Boat" from the tribute album, She Will Have Her Way, of Neil and Tim Finn songs performed by female Australian and New Zealand musicians, reached No. 96 on Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2005.
During 2006, the band recorded tracks for their second album, Hollywood, which peaked at No. 9 in October.[5] The first single was "Come on Come on", in September, which reached No. 18 – the group's highest charting single to date.[5] It was placed 11th on the Triple J Hottest 100, 2006.
In 2008, the band relocated to Melbourne and started recording a third album, Confetti, which they released in May 2009 and peaked at No. 6.[5][11] A website was created for previews of new recordings and videos of studio sessions. The album was self-produced and the band worked with engineer-mixer Steven Schram. It was nominated for 'Best Adult Contemporary Album' and 'Engineer of the Year' (Schram) at the ARIA Music Awards of 2009.[7][12] In February, they issued a music video for the first song, "Brother". The song features Paul Kelly on backing vocals and harmonica.[13]
Confetti's first official single, "Summarize", was released in April, it was followed by "Hairdo" and "Stay Wild". In February 2010, Chequer announced on the band's website that Steele moved to New York and expected to work on her debut solo album, Leach was working on solo material, O'Donoghue was working with other bands, and Chequer himself was doing production work.[14][15] Steele trialled some solo material at four Australian concerts in May.[14]
Little Birdy undertook their own concerts throughout Australia in 2004 and 2005. They supported R.E.M. during the Australian leg of their world tour in 2005.[16] Little Birdy appeared at national festivals in 2007, including Falls Festival, Big Day Out, Sonic Bloom Festival, Southbound (in Busselton, Western Australia), and Great Escape Festival (Sydney).[citation needed] The band played at the Australian Grand Prix in Melbourne and supported Eskimo Joe's national tour in May.[citation needed] They were unlisted performers at the 18th East Coast Blues & Roots Music Festival.[citation needed]
Little Birdy appeared at Sound Relief at the Sydney Cricket Ground in March 2009, which was a benefit concert for victims of Victorian bush fires and Queensland floods.[17][18] The Sydney concert included, Coldplay featuring John Farnham, Eskimo Joe, Hoodoo Gurus, Icehouse, Jet, Josh Pyke, The Presets, Wolfmother, You Am I, Architecture in Helsinki, Marcia Hines, Taylor Swift, and Barry Gibb with Olivia Newton-John.[19]

Wandering Zen – The Chunnel
Today we are going to do a little wandering across the pond and we'd like to welcome David Townsend to the WBNL Podcast Studio. David is a Post-Production Supervisor who does work with Sony, Universal, and Warner Brothers, to name a few and who has most recently, worked on Molly's Game and the Disaster Artist. He is currently applying his craft to Amy Schumer's new flick – I Feel Pretty.
I've known David for more years than a person should know someone and we've done a ton of wandering together including several trips to Yosemite, Sequoia, Catalina, The Bay Area, and he always joins my wife and me on our yearly New York City trek.
So let's get started and talk the Chunnel and other tips and tricks when traveling in Europe…
In a ceremony presided over by England's Queen Elizabeth II and French President Francois Mitterand, a rail tunnel under the English Channel was officially opened, connecting Britain and the European mainland for the first time since the Ice Age.
The channel tunnel, or "Chunnel," connects Folkstone, England, with Sangatte, France, 31 miles away. The Chunnel cut travel time between England and France to a swift 35 minutes and eventually between London and Paristo two-and-a-half hours.
As the world's longest undersea tunnel, the Chunnel runs under water for 23 miles, with an average depth of 150 feet below the seabed. Each day, about 30,000 people, 6,000 cars and 3,500 trucks journey through the Chunnel on passenger, shuttle and freight trains. – Source: History.com

We expressly recommend having this product installed by a certified specialist.
The relay board with 8 outputs is an extension module for the Terxon SX and the Terxon MX. Eight powerful relay switching outputs are thus provided to the alarm system. On the motherboard of the Terxon SX, there are 3 transistor switching outputs (with a max. 0.5 A switching capacity), the Terxon MX comes with 1 transistor and 2 relay switching outputs. These switching outputs can be activated by specific events (alarm, fire, or robbery). The board also has 8 "additional" transistor outputs, with a maximum switching capacity of 0.05 A each. These "additional" transistor outputs are used by the relay module. Instead of 8 x 0.05 A, you get 3 A per relay with this board. This increases your options for defining outputs. The wiring is carried out with NO or NC contacts.

WALTHAM - Tom Wopat, star of the 1980s television show "Dukes of Hazzard," was arrested Wednesday night by Waltham police and charged with sexual assault and drug offenses.
Wopat, 65, was in Waltham to star in Reagle Music Theatre's production of "42nd Street," which opened Thursday, Aug. 3, the same day Wopat was arraigned in Waltham District Court.
During rehearsals for the show, the former television star was accused of inappropriately grabbing a female cast member, who was in court on Thursday and filed a harassment protection order against Wopat, which was granted.
"I don't want him near me," she said in court.
According to the woman, while she was running a scene with Wopat on Sunday, July 23, he allegedly grabbed her buttocks. The woman told police the incident made her feel very uncomfortable and uneasy.
She reported the incident to stage manager Nicky Carbone, who said other women had complained of Wopat's behavior during rehearsals, which started on July 18.
Police: Others had complained
Theatre producer Robert Eagle and Carbone had approached Wopat previously because of complaints by female cast members of inappropriate language and touching, according to the police report.
Some of the incidents, which were read out loud during the arraignment, allege that Wopat once placed his knee behind the knee of one female cast member, and also touched a female cast member on her hips and lower back, which made her uncomfortable.
Additionally, some actors reported Wopat was disrespectful to the directors, did not remember his lines, and used profanity while rehearsing, according to the police report.
In a statement to police, Carbone said Wopat showed a "lack of respect for women," referring to female cast members as "babe," or "sweetheart," instead of their names.
In another instance, Wopat allegedly wrapped his arm completely around the hip of a female cast member and pulled her toward him during a brief break in rehearsals.
In yet another report, Wopat allegedly tapped a female cast member on her buttocks with his script and said, "nice butt," and also poked her stomach.
In court on Thursday, Wopat denied all the allegations. He said he did not touch anyone, according to the police report.
'Difficult situation'
According to the police report, Eagle told police he has never encountered such a difficult situation in his 49 years doing shows at Reagle. He told police he spoke to Wopat on three separate occasions about his behavior.
The first time was when Wopat allegedly showed up intoxicated to the third day of rehearsals. The second time was to discuss Wopat's inappropriate language since there is a 16-year-old cast member, as well as other teenagers and college students, in the production.
According to Eagle, when he spoke to Wopat for the third time, this time in regards to the alleged indecent assault on a cast member, Wopat was "belligerent" and denied doing anything wrong, while swearing. Wopat allegedly told Eagle "F... them all."
The harassment prevention order against Wopat does not allow him to go within 100 yards of the woman he allegedly assaulted, nor go to her place of residence, or work. The order extends until Aug. 2, 2018.
Drug charge
During Wopat's booking on Wednesday, police found a small amount of cocaine in a plastic bag in Wopat's pocket. A second bag was found in Wopat's car, according to the police report. He was also charged with cocaine possession.
Wopat told police he did lightly touch one of the young women in the production on her hip and tell her "I like the way you work."
He told officers that he likes to flirt but that he did nothing inappropriate.
Released on bail
On Thursday, Wopat was released on $1,000 bail, and drove away in his black Ford Bronco. His pretrial hearing was set for Sept. 26.
Indecent assault and battery carries a sentence of no more than five years in state prison, or two and a half years in a house of correction. If convicted, Wopat would have to register as a sex offender.
Reagle Music Theatre's production of "42nd Street" will go on as planned, with Rich Allegretto replacing Wopat in the role of Julian Marsh.
Wopat played Luke Duke in the "Dukes of Hazzard," which ran from 1979 to 1985. He has also had roles in the 1990′s television sitcom "Cybill" and the television drama "Longmire." In addition, Wopat has a career as a country music singer and was nominated for a Tony Award for a 1999 role in "Annie Get Your Gun."

(CBS) – You can it see it when models walk down the runway – A visible gap between their thighs, or a thigh gap. Teens and women are becoming dangerously infatuated with acquiring the thin legs and wide thigh gaps.
Thin legs are the envy of young girls and women around the country, feeding their insecurities. More and more are going to dangerous lengths to create a thigh gap.
"People are working excessively at exercising in order to maybe change the way their body is or restricting what they eat," said University of Miami body consultant, Tammy Sifre.
Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter are inundated with images praising models with thin legs and wide gaps. There are even more than 700,000 followers on Facebook and Twitter accounts dedicated to the thigh gap.
Sifre said it's a toxic environment for teens and young women to be surrounded by.
"It's sending the message (that) the body is objectified," Sifre said. "The body is something that needs to be changed, that needs to be fixed and it's not good enough the way it is."
But with plastic surgery that insecurity can be quickly fixed.
"You make a little incision and use rods that have a little hole in the middle and it sucks out the fat," said Dr. Carlos Wolf from Miami Plastic Surgery.
Doctor Wolf said the inner thigh surgery vacuums out the stubborn fat between your legs, but surgery so young could be a precursor to an obsession.
"Some of the times when they start so early they become addicted to it," Dr. Wolf said.
Moms are a large group that elect to nip and tuck their inner thighs. Janet Correa lipoed her thighs after having two kids. She has always been self-conscious about her thicker thighs; something she attributes to her Cuban heritage.
"I was never happy with my typical Latin body," Correa said. "Now, the way you look when you wear tight jeans and leggings, it's amazing. a thigh gap!"
Miami Plastic Surgery Dr. Michael Kelley performs dozens of inner thighliposuction surgeries a year.
"They're self-conscious about their thighs touching. Its always something that women are more concerned about men. Men could care less," said Kelley.
But for teens and younger women, before opting for surgery, an unhealthy fixation should be addressed.
"I think what's important is what kind of relationship a person has with their body," Sifre said. "Sometimes (surgery is) an indication of not having a good relationship with one's body."
If social media is an indication of teens and women's relationships with their bodies and specifically, their thighs, their insecurities are widening.

For various esophageal diseases, the search for alternative techniques for tissue repair has led to significant developments in basic and translational research in the field of tissue engineering. Applied to the esophagus, this concept is based on the in vitro combination of elements judged necessary for in vivo implantation to promote esophageal tissue remodeling. Different methods are currently being explored to develop substitutes using cells, scaffolds, or a combination of both, according to the severity of lesions to be treated. In this review, we discuss recent advances in (1) cell sheet technology for preventing stricture after extended esophageal mucosectomy and (2) full-thickness circumferential esophageal replacement using tissue-engineered substitutes.

- Connect the USB-TTL cable in any available USB port in your computer
- Connect the other end on the Reef Angel Wifi Attachment.
- Start the Wifi Utility application.
- Select a Serial Port.
- Click the "Connect" Button.
- Once connected, you will see the application log as shown:
- Type the SSID of your wireless network.
- Type the PassPhrase of your wireless network. The preferred and recommended security mode is WPA2-PSK with AES encryption.
- Click the button "Setup Wifi Attachment"
- Once the application finishes setting up your wifi attachment, you will see the application log as shown:
- Please make note of the ip address. You will need it later. In this example, the IP address is 10.1.10.50 and the port is 2000.
- You are now ready to upload the Wifi Test Code to ensure everything is working properly. The Wifi Test Code can be found on the Arduino IDE by using menu File->Sketchbook->Example Codes->WifiTestCode
- Once the code has been uploaded to your Reef Angel Controller, disconnect the USB-TTL cable from it.
- Connect you wifi attachment to the controller.
- Open your prefered browser and go to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx, where xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:xxxx is the IP address you took note above. In the example above the address would be http://10.1.10.50:2000
- You will get a web page like this:
- Congratulations. Your Reef Angel Attachment is configured.
Original post was ammended on 04/19/2012
- To be able to connect remotely to your controller from outside your wifi network, you will need to setup port forwarding on your router. The TCP port you need to forward to your wifi attachment is port 2000.
Most recent routers have UPnP capability. This utility will try to setup port forwarding automatically on any UPnP capable router that is compatible with the UPnPLib Java.
- If the utility is successful on setting up port forwarding on your router, you will get a message below:
How to setup your wifi attachment
New members questions
You can configure the wifi attachment using the Wifi Utility application that was installed with your Reef Angel Installer, you will be able to easily configure your Reef Angel Wifi Attachment.
everything works fine to the point when i put ip adress in browser after putting ip i dont have no respond from browser how to fix that
Did you upload the WifiTestCode to RA?
Have you plugged the wifi attachment to RA after uploading the code?
Make sure you have the port after the ip address. By default the port is 2000. So you need :2000 after the ip address.
If you are using IE, you also need to make sure that you have http:// in front of the ip address or IE just won't understand and will think you are trying to search something.
Yes I did all those things even used google chrome, ie and mozzila will try one more time today
did couple times today no results light in wifi adapter is green i have my ip adress from arduino but no web page display after putting my ip adress

Should the interface with the installer look like the tutorial? Mine looks the same as the old one with the same functions. I have recently removed all my earlier reefangel programs and updated to the latest stuff including the new libraries.
Yes, the new application looks like the photos above

Hi, also having some problems here..
I could not get "true" values at Associated, auenticated and DHCP, so after many tries pushed teh option "restore factory settings" . Same problem , but also the IP shown now is 0.0.0.0:2000
Any advice much appreciated!
Is your wifi network on WPA2-PSK with AES encryption?
I'd highly suggest using this security scheme.

In the Use as access point tab:
I tried to configure through Wifi_Utility with :
PHASPHRASE/PASSKEY: xxxxxxxxxxx
and get:
Your Reef Angel Wifi Attachment is now configured

IP adress and port: 0.0.0.0:2000 (remember that I used the "Restore Factory Settings" before, and since then the IP changed to this)
and the blue and green leds blinks
Any advice on how to solve this really apreciated

Pollinators play a hugely important role in agriculture. Fruit, vegetable and nut crops generally require the services of a pollinator to bring forth the goods. For time immemorial, this service has been performed by the honey bee because we not only get the fruit, but can also later harvest honey from the bees in a sort of two for one deal. However, Science magazine is reporting that recent events are showing that over-reliance on a single species may be about to cause problems.
Both the European honey bee and its African cousin are under attack from the varroa mite, which, once in the hive, kills larvae, reducing the worker bee population and eventually decimating the hive. Even the African honey bee succumbs to the mite, which is surprising considering how aggressive that strain of honey bee is. A consequence of this is that the price for getting a hive set up in your olive grove has gone from about $30 to approximately $150.
To be clear, there is no crisis yet. However, further investigation reveals that there is very little knowledge on the health of alternative pollinator populations. Which, considering the well understood dangers of relying on monocultures, has lead to calls for more research. Alternatives are also being considered, such as breeding honey bees that are naturally resistant to the mite, and trying to cultivate other bee species as a second pollinator. Unfortunately, honey bee queens are quite randy, which makes selective breeding for a specific trait very difficult. Only time will tell if other bee species can be "tamed."
I would like to reiterate that no one is crying wolf or discussing the imminent demise of the bee industry followed by one third of the country's agricultural industry. What they are saying is that honey bees now have a very effective and currently unstoppable predator. Considering that, perhaps we should be concerned enough to make sure we have an alternative available should the worst happen.

We need to save our NHS, and the March outside the Tory Party Conference on the 29th September is a vital demonstration to show that this country is against the privatised, dismantled, profit making NHS that is being built by the current goverment.
March on Tory Party Conference – Save the NHS
Save the NHS!
60,000 strong demonstration in Manchester tells the Tories they are not welcome in our city!
As workers within the NHS we are aware that privatisation and cuts in the NHS are driving down quality and services. After today's demonstration in Manchester the Tories will have got the message just how much ordinary people care about the NHS and the Welfare State. Despite the problems that we face, support for the NHS is still very high and the public are aware of the importance of the care and services provided and that the privatisation of the NHS will ultimately lead to the end of free at the point of service health care.
Frances O'Grady, TUC general secretary, said: "Austerity is having a devastating effect on our communities and services, with 21,000 NHS jobs lost over the last three months alone.
Prentis tells crowd government is privatising the NHS
"Let's call a spade a spade: this is privatisation, pure and simple". That was how Dave Prentis described what the government is doing to the National Health Service when he spoke at the rally to save the NHS in Manchester today.
With the Conservative Party starting its annual conference near by, UNISON's general secretary said that it had come to power, "promising 'no more top-down reorganisations', with Prime Minister David Cameron personally assuring the electorate: 'I'll cut the deficit, not the NHS'.
"What did we get?" he asked, and cited the losses to frontline staff that the health service is now facing, with over 5,000 nurses' posts alone having gone.
"It's a race to the bottom. Companies offering up savings they can only meet by slashing the workforce and driving down quality.
No to Austerity!
The demonstration, nearly 1 mile long, included trade unionists, NHS Campaign Groups, individuals and supporters of other campaigns. The emphasis of the demonstration was the government cuts to the NHS but all other austerity. This government is continuing to force the people of this country to pay the price for reckless gambling by bankers.
It was great to see members of the branch out on the streets marching for our NHS but the fight needs to continue back at work where the real cost of NHS cuts is staff reporting high levels of stress, unmanageable case loads, short staffing, changes to their working hours and an over-reliance on agency staff.
Our jobs are becoming more difficult, and more unsafe and at the same time our standard of living is going down.
Today we marched together but this is not the end of our fight for the NHS or for decent wages and the right to be able to deliver high standards of care.
We must continue to fight until we get rid of this conservative government and we must back workers struggles but most of all the Unions need to come together and strike together to reverse the cuts and to ensure our NHS and Welfare State is not lost for ever.
UNISON Health Conference, April 2013
There was a much different feel to Health Conference this year than there has been in recent years. We are now in our 6th year of the financial crisis caused by the system of Capitalism and the culture of casino banking resulting in the huge bailouts, financial deficit and the determination of our governments that working class people and vital public services would be attacked in order to repay these debts.
Recent UNISON Health conferences had seen little debate with unopposed motions being agreed and the conference timetable being raced through.
This was certainly not the case this year with many contested motions leading to a busy conference for branch delegates who intervened in around a dozen debates.
Delegates were:
Ben Jackson & Caroline Ridgway, Co-Branch Secretaries
Leah Gilman, Equalities Officer
There was much discussion about the best ways of moving forward and the direction the is needed for the biggest Public Service Union in 2013 fighting the worst attacks the NHS has ever seen, in fact any health Service has ever seen worldwide.
Themes and Discussions
- Organising & Recruitment
- Negotiating & Bargaining
- Campaigning & Promoting Unison
Recruiting as always, is a high priority for UNISON and you should expect to see a presence of branch members in June during a "recruitment fortnight".
It can be difficult to maintain high union density when financial pressures, redundancies and austerity are affecting the levels of public sector employment with jobs being lost. However, there is also a recognition that this is a time when Union's need to remain strong to defend the public sector and of course it's members.
Our branch believes:
- That a visible, campaigning union, fighting the attacks on our NHS and it's members is the best way to maintain density and to recruit.
- We noted that the highest recruitment levels were achieved when the Union is fighting, and that the lead up to the Pension Strike in Nov 2011saw by far the largest increase in Unison membership for many years.
- We supported a motion that we should no further support the NHS Body which has agreed this years 1% NHS "uplift" which in
- Worryingly the "PRB" are also recommending "a 1% rise for 2014 and 2015". Which are bound to cause a further deficit to our salary
Negotiating & Bargaining
These sessions were no doubt the most hotly contended and debated of this year's health conference with pay and Terms & Conditions without doubt being amongst our members highest concerns as they continue to suffer at the hands of an uncaring Government determined that Healthworkers should pay for this crisis of capitalism.
The recent 'compromise' deal on Agenda for Change, which our branch consulted on in January, resulting in us submitting for rejection after holding stalls on several hospital sites, caused fierce argument with high levels of anger. We called for "censure" of the Health Service Group, due to what we believe was a flawed and unfair consultation process with questions that were heavily weighed to encourage members to accept these cuts to their terms and conditions giving no encouragement to taking action to defend their sick pay, yearly increments and
Pay and our recent 1% uplift, which in reality is a 2% cut also caused an argument with some stating that this is a positive in the current financial crisis and that members are more concerned about keeping their jobs with constant reorganisations and threat of redundancies.
Our Branch Position
Our members cannot continue to keep taking hits to their pay which is causing financial hardship to hard working, efficient and experienced Health Sector Workers. A real terms pay decrease of 15-20% is the reality since the burst of the financial "bubble".
Upto 40% of people working in the public sector rely on benefit top-ups including tax credits and housing benefit. This is degrading. Working people should be able to rely on a fair salary which is at least a 'living wage' without having apply from "benefit top ups".
We should negotiate pay increases across the 4 devolved nations rather than submit to the NHS Pay Review Body, which increasingly seems to deliver according to Government wishes.

There Are Now Six IBM Watsons, Here's What They're Doing
IBM's cognitive supercomputer, called Watson, famously won Jeopardy two years ago. That was just the beginning. IBM has built six Watsons in the last year, deploying them to do what the system was designed for: Give healthcare professionals fast answers to complex medical questions.
Both the Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center and WellPoint have gotten themselves a Watson, and have been training them in the last year to apply its learning algorithms and vast computing power to helping patients. Similar to Siri, Watson was designed to give useful answers to natural-language questions. Rather than spitting back a series of links like a traditional search engine, Watson tries to find the single, correct answer to whatever it's asked.
For Memorial Sloan-Kettering, that means giving Watson more than 600,000 pieces of medical evidence, two million pages of text from medical journals, and 1.5 million patient records to sift through before it was ready to answer real questions about cancer treatment. WellPoint got Watson up to speed with a similar data dump, including 14,700 hours of hands-on training from nurses.
As a result of all this programming and testing, the two companies are introducing a Watson-powered product, Interactive Care Insights for Oncology. It'll be the first Watson-based adviser for doctors, available via the cloud, designed to help them find the best treatment options for cancer patients. Lung cancer is the first target, but other types of cancer will follow.
WellPoint will offer two other Watson-based systems, an Interactive Care Guide and Interactive Care Reviewer, which are both intended to speed up initial testing for individuals.
Besides faster medical answers, Watson promises to address three issues in medicine: First, it can stay apprised of all new medical evidence in any field better than doctors, who typically spend just 5 hours a week learning new medicine. Second, it can take into account a patient's entire medical history, giving truly individualized care. Third, it frees medical expertise from location — since Watson is cloud-based, a patient in Bangladesh can potentially receive the same diagnosis as someone in New York City.
"The power of Watson expands access to care," Tracey Weisberg, medical oncology president of the Maine Center for Cancer, said at an IBM event to unveil the new Watson-based products. "I believe it has the power to personalize each patient's cancer care."
What do you think of doctors increasingly relying on computer systems like Watson? Share your thoughts in the comments.

If you are pregnant you have rights in Connecticut that far exceed the your rights under Title VII, and other federal laws. The federal laws prohibit discrimination. In a nutshell, the Connecticut laws require your employer to cooperate with you during your pregnancy.
Discrimination on the basis of pregnancy is gender discrimination. In 1978 that question was settled once and for all with the passage of the Pregnancy Discrimination Act. The Pregnancy Discrimination Act amended Title VII of the Civil Rights Act to prohibit discrimination on the basis of pregnancy. So, an employer cannot discriminate on the basis of pregnancy according to federal law.
But the absence of discrimination mandated by federal law is a far cry from the laws that exist in Connecticut. In Connecticut, you have several additional rights found in the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act. Not only is it illegal to discriminate on the basis of pregnancy, in Connecticut, under General Statute § 46a-60a(7), an employer must also:
- Grant a woman a reasonable leave of absence due to disability from her pregnancy;
- Reinstate the woman to her original job;
- When reasonably possible, provide a temporary transfer to a job if the woman reasonably believes that her old job might cause injury to her or the fetus.
In other words, as stated earlier, an employer must cooperate with a pregnant employee to allow her some reasonable flexibility due to her pregnancy.
Additionally, if you are pregnant, there are other rules too. The employer cannot:
- discriminate against you on the basis of gender;
- terminate your employment due to your pregnancy (that is obvious);
- deny you compensation owed as a result of the accumulation of leave time or benefits;
- in the hiring process cannot ask you about your child rearing plans.
Also, in some instances you will have rights under the Family and Medical Leave Act to take time off from work if your pregnancy results in a serious medical condition that qualifies under the act.
If you prevail on a claim under the Connecticut Fair Employment Practices Act, or the Family and Medical Leave Act, the employer must pay your attorney's fees.
If you believe your rights or the rights of a loved one's rights to be free of pregnancy discrimination have been violated call us. We can help. Call The Bartinik Law Firm, P.C., 100 Fort Hill Road, Groton, Connecticut at 860-445-8521 or toll free at 888-717-4211.

Today, the BBC published an article about the notebooks of Alexander Carmichael being published online. It is believed that his Carmina Gadelica, published in 1900, contained only one-tenth of his material, so when the material from his notebooks is published online at The Carmichael Watson Project today, we should be in for a treat.
I am going to try and find a way to see the Exhibit at the Edinburgh University Library.
An eclectic mix of book and music reviews, ramblings and other flotsam and jetsom encountered on an expedition to find a place in the pre-Christian religious traditions, and practices of the British Isles.

Summer is here and we are experiencing a period of warm and dry weather – which many people see as a positive yet can create problems for managers and practices to deal with.
One of the most commonly raised questions on our Health and Safety Courses for Managers relates to working temperatures. Even in a small organisation such as a GP surgery, there can be wide variations in what people consider to be suitable working temperatures.
To clarify the legal position – the law does not explicitly state a minimum temperature for a normal work environment such as a practice; however it does state that the temperature in workrooms should normally be at least 16°C. The 1992 Workplace (Health, Safety and Welfare) Regulations state that temperatures in workplaces should be "reasonable" but gives no definitive definition of what this means.
Employers need to consider the impact of heat upon the workforce and be particularly mindful of Heat stress. The Health and Safety Executive has produced a guidance note on this issue.
Heat stress is often a problem in certain work environments such as boiler rooms, laundries or bakeries but the effects can also be sometimes experienced in more normal workplaces. Heat stress is the term used to describe what happens when the body cannot control its internal temperature effectively. Sweating is one of our most effective ways of controlling this – however, sometimes things like inappropriate uniforms or protective equipment might hamper this natural process.
The effects of heat stress can be very serious and may include:
There are also other problems associated with working in hot or airless environments including short tempered , fractious team members and problems associated with unpleasant body odour – both of which raise issues that managers will need to respond to very quickly.
If you have air conditioning – switch it on!
The vast majority of practices may not have this luxury; however they need to consider other actions to maintain a healthy and safe working environment. Some sensible measures might include:
Some simple, proactive actions can prevent more serious issues from arising and also demonstrates a caring approach towards the staff and recognition of the pressures of their job. Record your actions and discussions at team meetings making sure that you actively listen to the problems and encourage the team to come up with workable solutions.

Wake to the heavenly aroma of breakfast which includes homemade breads and muffins from our kitchen, bagels and spreads, cereals, fruit, special blend coffee and a variety of teas. Sometimes we may even whip up our special cheese blintzes with fresh strawberries and whip cream!
Welcome To Our Our Kitchen
Face it - one of the best parts of a vacation is fabulous food. And who doesn't love to eat? Well, we love to cook here at the Island Guest House! Although bed and breakfasts are all known for serving breakfast, we mix it up with a little style, flair, and passion! Both the owners, Mark and Joanne, have been putting some real quality time into the kitchen. Our theory is this - provide the best ingredients, fresh local market produce, fresh herbs (many from our own garden), have a few signature dishes which will remind you of our Inn, create sumptuous, home-cooked breakfasts, which will coax you out of your rooms in the morning and intrigue and interest you. Oh, yes, and have lots of fabulous coffee all the time!
Of course, there are many other choices for breakfast here also. Our formal dining room is always set for an elegant breakfast option.
In the Reception room, we have intimate tables for two lit with candles under lovely Victorian Tiffany-style beaded glass chandeliers. A marble topped bar and credenza is where we greet you upon your arrival offer you a glass of wine during get togethers, and where on Tuesday mornings, we greet the Beach Haven Bed and Breakfast tour group and talk about the history of our Inn along with lemonade and "Olde Time" music from the player piano. Please feel free to play a tune while you are here. In the closet, a small Library of books and magazines are available for you to read including many on local history, including our Inn. An ice maker is also tucked away in there, handy for keeping your drinks cold at the beach.
The Sea Glass room is brand new and completely finished! What a great addition to our space! Located through the French doors off of the kitchen and opening into the garden, it is bright and sunny in the morning for breakfast. Check your email with a cup of coffee anytime, or browse on the internet. This is the heart of the WIFI, so your connection is always great. With its huge 60 inch flat screen TV, movie nights at the Inn are almost like the theater! We even make popcorn! Lots of times there is a great game, race, or special TV event that everyone wants to see, and large screen is the only way to go!
It is also a great venue for private parties, weddings, and reunions. As a private room it holds 36 persons and there have been many times where a scrapbooking group, retreat, business meeting, yoga retreat, or bridal or baby shower required a space to meet. It opens to the garden with its lighted patio/dance floor, and between it and the rest of the the interior, can hold up to 70 guests. Perfect for that inclement weather backup plan at a garden wedding or barbeque, too
You will enjoy a quaint and cozy atmosphere. Wicker and lace mixed with hand painted
furniture and stenciling evoke a breezy cottage charm. Wind chimes and ocean breezes
draw you to our large screened in sunroom full of wicker furniture; perfect for curling up
with a good book.
Outside in our courtyard wrought iron tables and chairs are shaded with market umbrellas for your comfort in daytime and lit with candles café style for evening gatherings. Relax anytime with chess, checkers, backgammon or other games in our common area.
"We offer an ideal retreat from today's hectic pace"
Cool off in the afternoon at tea time with refreshing pink lemonade or raspberry iced tea and tempting treats from the innkeepers kitchen. Join others in our family style dining room or choose an inn-timate candlelit table for two. Guests also love to take a tray onto our charming sunroom or courtyard.

If you can imagine a world were any and every criminal activity takes place, Nar Shaddaa would be that world. Actually a moon Nar Shaddaa is a place with no limits. Its surface is completely covered with sky scrapers filled with weapons labs, casinos, and slave pens. Run by the Hutt Cartel, Nar Shaddaa is truly a Smuggler's Moon. A place where anything goes, the excitement never ends, and the party never dies.
Quick Facts
- Leveling Range: 20 to 26
- Allegiance: Neutral
- First Available: SWTOR Launch
- Stronghold: Yes
- Galaxy Location: Hutt Space
HistoryIn the distant past, before becoming the Hutts' showcase, Nar Shaddaa was used as a refugee camp for Evocii driven from Hutta. The Hutts used the surplus of despite Evocii to their advantage and had them build up the infrastructure on the small moon. Soon refugees from other worlds were traveling to Nar Shaddaa looking for work. By the Jedi Civil War the moon was swarming with refugees. Since the moon was run by the Hutts, criminal activity was encouraged so long as it made them more credits.
Eventually the refugees became either slaves for the rising number of street gangs or test subjects for covert science labs. As more organized crime continued to flourish it was not long before Nar Shaddaa had one of the largest black markets in the galaxy.
More recently, when the Great War began, it brought ruin to many star systems, but to Nar Shaddaa, it brought only more profit. While other systems were offering allegiance to the Empire or to the Republic, the Hutts controlling Nar Shaddaa realized they could increased profits by dealing with both sides. This delicate balancing act has increased the risk of doing business, but it hasn't deterred competition. The Exchange and the Hutt Cartel have engaged in a winner-takes-all crime war that spans the galaxy but centers on the tiny moon of Nar Shaddaa.
Today the small moon is home to Casinos, Weapons Factories, Slave Pens, and any other activity that increases the Hutt families' power. There is a lot of credits to be made at Nar Shaddaa, if you play your cards right.

Donovan, Howard missing for US against Slovakia
Los Angeles Galaxy forward Landon Donovan will be among those missing when the United States plays Slovakia in an exhibition game Saturday.
U.S. coach Bob Bradley also bypassed starting goalkeeper Tim Howard of Everton. He selected Aston Villa's Brad Guzan, Wolverhampton's Marcus Hahnemann and Valerenga's Troy Perkins for his 22-man roster Monday. Hahnemann hasn't made an international appearance since October 2007 against Switzerland.
Three players are from FC Dallas, including forward Jeff Cunningham, who hasn't played for the national team since a September 2005 World Cup qualifier against Guatemala. The other Dallas players selected were defender Heath Pearce and 22-year-old midfielder Dax McCarty, who has never played for the national team.
Fulham forward Eddie Johnson also was picked. Johnson has 12 goals in 37 international appearances but hasn't played for the national team since a June 2008 World Cup qualifier against Barbados.
Donovan and the Galaxy host Houston on Friday in the Western Conference final. Chicago is home against Real Salt Lake a day later in the Eastern Conference Championship.
The U.S. team began training for the match Monday. After Saturday's game, the first between the U.S. and Slovakia, the Americans close their 2009 schedule on Nov. 18 against Denmark in Aarhus. U.S. coach Bob Bradley may make roster changes for that game.
The roster against Slovakia:
Goalkeepers: Brad Guzan (Aston Villa, England), Marcus Hahnemann (Wolverhampton, England), Troy Perkins (Valerenga, Norway)
Defenders: Carlos Bocanegra (Rennes, France), Jonathan Bornstein (Chivas USA), Steve Cherundolo (Hannover, Germany), Jimmy Conrad (Kansas City), Clarence Goodson (IK Start, Norway), Frankie Hejduk (Columbus), Chad Marshall (Columbus), Heath Pearce (Dallas), Jonathan Spector (West Ham, England)
Midfielders: Michael Bradley (Borussia Moenchengladbach, Germany), Clint Dempsey (Fulham, England), Benny Feilhaber (Aarhus, Denmark), Sacha Kljestan (Chivas USA), Dax McCarty (Dallas), Robbie Rogers (Columbus)
Forwards: Jozy Altidore (Hull, England), Conor Casey (Colorado), Jeff Cunningham (Dallas, England), Eddie Johnson (Fulham).

I went to see the Passion of Joan of Arc at the IU Cinema a few weeks ago. It's a silent film made in 1928 and directed by Carl Theodor Dreyer. My good friend Jason Fickel accompanied the film on guitar. It was an artsy flick, and the accompaniment was fantastic. If I had written something upon returning home from the theater, I might have been able to offer a decent critique. I will say that I was inspired to keep making art and to learn more about Joan of Arc. I'll need to get around to that.
The world is going mad, so my job is not to be afraid. I will not fear all of the things that the media warns me about. I'm a liberal kind of gal, but I'm not going to panic about the tax bill or the end of net neutrality. I won't fear the racists either.
I'm coming to learn that I am eternal. I'm not sure if my consciousness has always existed, but I think it can never end. When I was a child, I told my parents that I picked them before I arrived. I must have known that. It must be true.
Did you know that both Edison and Tesla separately worked on inventions that would allow them to communicate with the dead? There's a book about it. I learned about the book from an episode of Jim Harold's Paranormal Podcast. On the podcast, the book's author talked about the competition between Tesla and Edison, and how industry bigwigs made sure Tesla's inventions that wouldn't make them money were quashed. Too bad Tesla was a racist. Anyway, Tesla is said to have fared better than Edison in the talking to the dead department. I got the impression that Tesla created the first EVP machine, but there is no mention of him in the Wikipedia article. Further investigation is warranted.
During the two weeks I have off, I plan to get a lot done. I would like to get the "treadmill room" de-cluttered, but I'm not sure if that's possible. I can do some cleaning. I will do some cleaning! I will blog, and cook, and make art, and do yoga, and overestimate the number of things I can do during this period. Thinking about it overwhelms me.
Don't be afraid!!!!!
I thought I might do a daily self-portrait digital art journaling type of thing. I did it once. I took a selfie and traced it in the Sketchclub app. I'm not sure it looks like me.
