Choice Review
Part of a well-known series, this useful and timely volume's 327 entries provide for the most part good coverage of the topic. One flaw is that major topics such as "Labor Unions" and "Marxism" are given no more coverage than many relatively minor topics. The statistical section appears a bit haphazard; seemingly random and occasionally minor topics are selected, and the years covered are often very limited. Longer time periods focusing on more significant elements would have been preferable, although the author does provide meticulous citations to the source documents. The bibliography, quite current with many citations from the last five years, is preceded by an excellent introduction to the literature. General readers; lower-division undergraduates. A. J.

The Mazzanti Method: Daily Exercises for Piccolo

Staff Pick
"Another good method for piccolo"
Chris Hankin Just Flutes staff member - email@example.com
This thorough book will certainly add an extra dimension to your piccolo practice. The format is standard, as you would expect from such a method. Three checkpoints in the Sound chapter will ensure that you think about support and embouchure when tackling the flexibility exercises or singing and playing. A set of scales finishes with a really taxing Agility Exercise and Part 3 consists of a lovely collection of Melodies, Operas and Lieder to develop tone control. Ground-breaking it may not be, but this interesting book is worth investing in and is a great supplementary volume to use alongside other study books you may already have on your shelf.

Buick Sales Up Big in May As Encore and Envision Excel
Buick sales in May totaled 20,077 units in the United States, good for a 28.5% year-over-year increase from 2016. Retail sales were also up double digits, growing 11.5% to 17,360 units delivered.
As could be reasonably deduced from recent history, the carriers of the lion's share for Buick in May were none other than the Encore and Envision. The former saw a 12.3% year-over-year sales increase at 7,324 units and its best May performance ever at retail, while the latter celebrated the anniversary of its arrival in the United States with deliveries totaling 4,406 units and its ascension into the position of the brand's second-most-popular model.
Shopping for an Envision: A guide of what you need to know to make an informed decision
Through May, Encore sales are up 17.9% at 35,768 units, which accounts for 39% of all Buicks sold in the United States thus far in 2017. The Envision is second in terms of volume with sales totaling 17,613 units; its sales combined with those of the Encore account for 58.6% of all Buick sales.
Enclave sales were down 5.7% at 3,017 units; through May, its sales are down 22.4% at 16,036 units.
The Buick LaCrosse was also a big winner in May with an 88.7% sales increase. LaCrosse sales totaled 3,183 units, well ahead of combined sales for the Cascada (610 units), Regal (1,043 units), and Verano (494 units). Through five months, however, every car in Buick's lineup has seen double-digit year-over-year sales declines.
On the strength of the Encore and Envision alone, Buick sales are up 3.9% through May at 91,017 units delivered. Retail sales for the same period are up 7.7% at 83,437 units.
Coming Soon from Buick: New Enclave and Regal offer sharp new looks and more luxury

It is not hard to see how the kalanchoe thyrsiflora plant got the nickname "flapjack" plant with its wide, flat and round leaves that resemble flapjacks or paddles. This succulent plant thrives readily in either indoor or outdoor locations as long as temperatures are above 50 degrees F. Propagate a kalanchoe thyrsiflora plant while it is actively growing by taking a simple leaf cutting. The roots will form amazingly fast, and the new flapjack plant will be ready to grow into another large plant.
Remove a leaf from a mature plant during the active growing season. Cut the leaf from the plant so that at least 1 inch of stem extends out from the leaf to enable the stem to root beneath the soil.
Fill the container to the top with coarse sand. Spray the top of the sand generously with the spray bottle to moisten the soil.
Insert the leaf stem into the coarse sand up to the point where the leaf extends out from the stem. Place the container in a location that receives partial shade and moderate breezes.
Keep the coarse sand moist by spraying it every day with the spray bottle.
Allow up to one week for the stem cutting to root. Continue to keep the soil moist with daily watering.
Move the newly rooted cutting to a 6-inch-diameter container filled with cactus potting soil approximately 1 month after the cutting roots.

FAIRHAVEN — Last year Fairhaven High School girls' lacrosse team finished their first varsity season with a 3-12-1 record, after competing as a club team in 2007. This year, the Lady Blue Devils will be competing for the first time in the Maritime League, and have expanded their schedule to 18 games, with the addition of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
With only four seniors lost to graduation last year, second year head coach Bethany Whinnem is hoping the 2009 season will be the last building year for the young program, and lay a solid foundation of skills to be competitive next year.
"About half of the players are underclassmen," said Whinnem, "and many of the girls are just picking up the game for the first time ... so this year's goals will include skill building."
"One thing we are really working on this year is our cradling," said Whinnem, "because last year we were able to get the ball to each other, be we had difficulty hanging on to it."
The 18-game schedule begins on March 30 at Bishop Stang High School at 3:30pm, and away again at Martha's Vineyard on April 1 at 4 pm, before hosting Bishop Stang in the home opener at Fairhaven High School, on Saturday April 4 at 10:30am.
Of the 30 players on the roster, eight are freshmen and 11 are seniors:
Ashley Abrantes '09, Sara Allaie '09, Kaithlynn Claflin '09, Taylor Coelho '10, Amber Costa '09, Katie Devoe '09, Tamlyn Dexter '09, Megan Draper '12, Lauren Faria'10, Kristen Fields '11, Alexandra Fonseca '12, Brittany Goben '09, Taylor Gomes '11, Jayne Guerra '10, Mara Hartig '12, Kathryn Higgins '11, Briana Hunt '11, Allysa Jones '10, Jane Lamarre '12, Amanda Larson '09. Heather Macedo '12, Jaime Mello '10, Samantha Olsen '09, Melissa Pereira '09, Katie Perry '09, Tara Phelan '09, Lindsey Pires '12, Alicia Rego '12, Abby Saba '12, and Katie Wordell '12.
"We are in the middle of fundraising, and we have been sponsored by a number of area businesses,' said Whinnem, "and we'd like to send out a "Thank You" to all who have been so generous in their support of the girls' lacrosse team in 2009."

In addition to the research and data behind the economic impact and visitor profiles, VDTM works closely with its counterparts in state government on additional efforts. Below is a list of additional tourism indicators that help paint the picture of the impact of tourism in Vermont.
In 2010, Vermont's Chief Marketing Officer, with the Department of Tourism and Marketing and the Vermont Ski Area Association, completed a research project to study the perceptions of Vermont and how these perceptions affect decision making for choosing a vacation destination.

Seattle mayor resigned from his post after fresh allegations of sexual abuse surfaced against him.
Ed Murray, 62, a Democrat, is the city's first openly gay mayor. His resignation comes after his cousin, Joseph Dyer, accused him of sexually abusing him as a teenager.
Dyer is the fifth person to come forward with the allegations. He told Seattle Times, Murray "forced him into sex for about a year."
"And that's when he would molest me. And my mother would be right there in the house, she'd be in the living room … watching TV, at that time it was probably 'M*A*S*H.' And my sisters would be in their rooms, sleeping. And I would be in my room, and he would be in there, molesting me," said Dyer.
As he has in the past, Murray denied Dyer's allegations.
"While the allegations against me are not true, it is important that my personal issues do not affect the ability of our city government to conduct the public's business. To the people of this special city and to my dedicated staff, I am sorry for this painful situation," he said.
He further added the allegations were a result of a family rift.
"There's been numerous fights between our two families for many years, and much ugliness. I guess they see me down and out, and they want to finish me off," added Murray.
In April, a lawsuit accused him of repeatedly raping a man, Delvonn Heckard, 30 years ago. In the wake of the lawsuit, he withdrew from the mayor race. Further investigation into the incident revealed Heckard wasn't the only one who had been target of sexual abuse at the hands of Murray.
However, Heckard later withdrew the lawsuit to complete counseling.
After the initial lawsuit, three other men made similar accusations. Jeff Simpson said Murray abused him as a teen while he was his foster son. While another man said Murray sexually abused him when he was drug-addicted and a homeless teen.
Following Murray's resignation, City Council President Bruce Harrell will become interim mayor.

Thankfully, there is a lot more medical #research going on today to find a cure for vitiligo than at any time in the past. However, I can't help thinking that what people with vitiligo need more than anything – especially when they are first diagnosed – is a doctor who is willing to do a bit of detective work.
For reasons I simply don't understand, most mainstream doctors continue to approach vitiligo in isolation - as if it is a disease in its own right, without doing (or even considering) any significant investigation into whether you might have another, underlying condition that is causing your loss of pigment.
Some, more enlightened, doctors will routinely check for diabetes or thyroid disease. But, for the most part, that is as far as it goes. The advice generally given to the newly diagnosed is simply that there is no cure for vitiligo and that the patient should avoid getting sunburnt and otherwise not worry about it.
If you are very lucky indeed your doctor might refer you for UV therapy. This is all well and good, since it does seem to achieve better results than most treatments available to patients today. But, sadly, most people who achieve any re-pigmentation using either UVb or PUVA apparently lose whatever they have gained once the treatment has ended. This is not surprising, since exposing the skin to light is unlikely to address the root cause of your vitiligo.
I correspond with a large number of other vitiligo sufferers as a result of my blog and I have never yet come across anyone who has told me that their General Practitioner or Dermatologist has run exhaustive tests to rule out all the other conditions that are known to have a link with pigment loss. I almost never hear of anyone who has even been asked what other symptoms they may have. In fact, if you try to tell your doctor about your IBS, chronic fatigue or arthritis and suggest there might be a link you will probably get one of two responses (unless you are dealing with a holistic practitioner). The doctor will either give you a patronising smile and say "I think that is rather unlikely, don't you?" or they will tell you that you will need to make a separate appointment to discuss each health issue due to pressure of time.
Don't get me wrong, I don't have it in for hard-working doctors. Our mainstream health system just isn't geared up for treating people as individuals– it is designed to treat individual symptoms… individually!
So, where does all this leave the patient? One option is to accept what you have been told by your over-stretched and well-intentioned doctor and resign yourself to having white patches (and possibly an untreated causal illness too) for the rest of your life. I did this for a long time and I wish I hadn't because I now believe I could have found a successful treatment much sooner if I had been more proactive. The other option is to follow in the footsteps of Sherlock and do some detective work of your own to track down, and treat, the underlying cause of your vitiligo.
When I was first diagnosed, almost 50 years ago, there was no easy way to do this. But today the internet allows us all to read up on the various conditions believed to be linked to vitiligo which may – if treated – allow you to regain your pigment. I have been lucky enough to recover about 98% of mine - permanently - by addressing the nutritional deficiencies which I believe led to my vitiligo. But, as an avid reader of any credible anecdotal reports and scientific research that I can find on the subject, I continue to do whatever detective work I can to find out more and will continue to share as much of this as I can on this blog. Hopefully, I can do my bit to encourage more of us to become vitiligo detectives.

A weekend in Singapore, human overdose
I never thought I could feel so tiny! We often talk of New York by saying that it is a city visit with his nose in the air … Singapore, it's worse! The buildings out of sight, a monster where the pedestrian traffic does not exist and 200 shopping centers in a city that can be done by walking in only one day!
I traveled to Singapore for a 4 day weekend to renew my Thai visa. I was not especially accurate waiting and in any case different expectations of my current trip that revolves around nature and cultural traditions.
Going to Singapore, this new city and booming, I have found absolutely not what one says. There is talk of a city "garden" because of a tropical climate where there are beautiful green spaces… not really. Rather landscaped parks where one can not even frolicking on the lawn. Trees are marked with a museum and shadow is rather under umbrellas terraces where one sips a soda chatting. A big city !
You'll understand, I was rather disappointed. Not by the city but because I'm not doing this kind of trip! If you want to enjoy a 5 star hotel, impeccable service, excessive shopping activities and live the "something more" of the world, while Singapore is for you.
I don't tell you a top 10 best things to do and see in Singapore, it would not make sense. I'll just tell you about my weekend in the most salient points !!
What I preferred
The Marina Bay Sands
Imagine that one day, architects have seated in meetings, thinked really strongly and created this project! Three curved buildings connected at the top by a kind of future boat. The all overlooked by a hotel-pool-palm over 200 meters high. And guess what? It's the most expensive hotel construction in the world, including the longest pool in the world, with the largest casino in the world .. Sure! It is in Singapore!
Take a trip on the bay, day and night to admire it. That's pretty impressive! It is also possible to climb to about $20 SGD. Access to the pool is reserved for hotel guests. If you want to see what it looks like inside, don't worry, it's also quick to join the gardens "suspended" Gardens by the Bay.
Every day at dusk and every hour at the front of the shopping center (where there are scale reproductions of the canals of Venice with boats floating around it! No comment …) you can admire a "water and light" show with holograms. It is very beautiful! The show is a real paradox that advocates of life and safeguarding the planet in a city where consumption is the only known word !! But we are not there for the show worth unstoppable with a view of the city and its illuminated buildings.
Little India
It is only a small area where there are the Singapore Indian with the best tailors and jewelers. The houses are very colorful and smell the spice essences and incense.
For those who know India, you will not find the land of a thousand scents and a thousand smiles. We are here in Singapore!! It's worth it for a change of scenery and to escape to some buildings.
This is the neighborhood where I stayed and I can highly recommend it. The old colonial houses line the streets illuminated with lanterns. We find Chinese cuisine and sweet meats, herbalists and Chinese temples.
It is a beautiful area, very lively and narrow streets where most strongly impede traffic and noise. In the middle of the neighborhood, there is the Food Street where you can eat every night without tiring.
Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is a garden where the lawn is off limits and where pushed iron covered with green trees of all colors. Platforms circulate between these gigantic plants. It looks like the wonderful world of Avatar's movie! I had the chance to go on the day of the national festival which took place throughout the day performances composed by all children in all schools in Singapore. A magical day!
Normally, I think the garden is more significant at night with light compositions and musical games.
Foods center
Singapore is no exception to Asian culture! Indeed, in Asia, it is rare to cook and eat at home. Whether for lunch or dinner, everyone comes out and finds himself sitting down together. Apart therefore more expensive and fancier restaurants in the city, there are the food center and food court where we find the Indian, Malaysian and Chinese kitchen for 1-2 euros a dish.
You choose your dish among the stalls and then you sit on tables set up everywhere. If you are in a group, so everyone can choose what to eat and then join the others to enjoy. Drinks are ordered separately. Dedicated Servers running between tables to take order.
On a beautiful background buildings dedicated only to banks include the Merlion statue. It is the oldest of the city and faces the bay. Many tourists gather in front to take pictures with family or alone with their smartphone (selfie trend!).
Sri Mariamman Temple
It is a Hindu temple wearing beautiful statues of deities. We find this type of temple in other Asian countries such as Thailand and of course India. It is also the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, a listed building.
Every day at 6pm unfolds the ceremony which celebrates the goddess Mariamman. Admission is permitted and free to everyone, even the foreigners and non-Hindus, rare! SGD $3 for cameras and you have to leave your shoes at the entrance..
My guesthouse
It is not easy to find a cheap guesthouse in Singapore because it is precisely the expensive part of the stay. In Chinatown or Little India, there are dormitory facilities at low prices (for Singapore!). However, none are backpackers lodge. Yes, Singapore is not really a busy town with this type of traveler.
So I was very surprised when I found myself in a 12-bed dorm (no less!), Air conditioned, sanitized and filled solely to foreign nationals get hired in this city where business is king. Their tie-suits hanging on the bunk beds and their computers, tablets, smartphones supported by the bed!
This is the first time in 5 months of traveling I was O-BLI-GED talking about job and business!
Rules in Singapour
Singapore has many rules, many laws. Normal that the city is clean and that all the inhabitants are so polite front of so many limitations.
Here are some that I could identify during my weekend reading the signs: Chewing gum banned (the control is done at the airport), SGD $ 150 fine if you feed birds, or my favorite , SGD $ 75 if you forget to flush your water after using the toilet. Pornography is also banned. A movie like Striptease with Demi Moore is censored and lasts in all 20 minutes! And I pass other laws much less qualified and less funny!
And all the rest
There are many other activities to do in Singapore with a low budget: the botanical garden, artificial island of Sentosa, Universal Studio, the world's largest aquarium, the largest fountain in the world, shopping malls, have a drink on Clarke Quay, see the gondolas in the commercial center of Marina Bay, …
So go ahead but with a handsome budget!

Well I am almost done with the Alabama order. Then I have some things that I am going to work on for JuJuBelle. I am feeling miserable because of this cold. I feel so much sinus pressure and feel like my head is being stepped on. I have some Nyquil though.
I was invited to do a vendor show but I don't know the person holding it and don't know if the money is going to a charity or if it is going into someone's pocket. I was thinking about being an event coordinator also though. There are so many places around here that would be great to set up at. I am going to look a little further into it and see what all I need to do and make sure to get my business license for it and make sure that I report to taxes on it.

Corona del Mar Sea Kings
League: Pacific Coast
Coach: Bill Sumner (30th year)
Athletes to watch: Spencer Keith (Sr.); Ethan Hold (Sr.); Matt Paragas (So.); Alex Wild (Sr.); Leif Hellgren (Fr.).
You should know: The Sea Kings went undefeated in dual meets, won their 22nd league title in Sumner's tenure and finished eighth at the CIF Southern Section Division 3 finals in 2012, one spot shy of qualifying for the CIF state meet ... But five of the top seven from 2012 are now in the collegiate ranks ... Sumner expects Keith, who was 33rd at the section finals, to reach the state meet and calls the senior "one of the best I've had in a while." ... Sumner said missing the state meet put a fire in his belly to get every last ounce out of his runners to foster a return to Fresno.

Mothers Day part 2
I had the best Mothers Day! We celebrated all day long...first the weather was amazing, high of about 26 degrees...ahhhh! We started the day with brunch at my favourite place, Raouls. I'm sure if you have been to visit, we have taken you there. After that, we had a leisurely stroll through Paddington Park. Jake loves picking up any ball he sees and will spot them at quite a distance. We came home for a couple hours to relax, and Jake had a little siesta. Maybe I did too... Then Rich picked up some yummy snacks for a special dinner picnic in Queens Park. We had cheese, baguette, roasted vegetables, salad and wine. Mmmm....so good! Again, Jake chased balls, pigeons, and puppies to his hearts content. Here are a couple shots from Jake's mission, and me trying to distract him with his own ball which wasn't working, so we had to go find Daddy!
The picnic...

The City
In 41/2 years, can't say I have ever really walked around the home of the investment bankers, aka the city. This is why its great to have visitors!! It makes me explore parts of London that I have ignored... thanks Mom&Dad!
Anyway, there are some really unique buildings, old contrasting with new, and of course the gherkin below is now a well known landmark. It seemed to peek out at us as we approached!

I was pretty upset that the large was so small. I actually had to re-order it in a 2XL in order for it to fit! As for the art work, it is absolutely beautiful! I was proud to say that I was the only person I saw at the Ed Sheeran concert that was wearing that shirt and I got quite a few compliments! They told me in order to get a refund for the first shirt, I could send photographic proof that I had destroyed it, rather than shipping it back. I would've loved to have gotten my $35 refunded but I just couldn't bring myself to cut it up so I now have a shirt I can wear and one that's way too small. I'm sort of bummed about that but I am happy with the design of the shirt!

I have always painted horses. It has been almost an obsession. Mother and father and I in the background. I was born of a horse, but I was not a horse. My sister was my horse And I was her head and will. It has been almost an obsession. I have always painted horses. It has been almost an obsession. Where did my horse go. Why did she leave me. Where do you get the motivation to paint more horses after so many years? Are you never bored? The horse is in me and in you too, I am looking forward. There is a meeting between me the horse and the painting. If you are painting a picture of a horse, you do not know what it will be in advance. You have to let go and let the feelings go. The more insecure, And clumsy you are and less control you have, the better is the horse. I paint my horses because it's something I cannot do. There are swiftly memories of the brushstrokes, energetic and vibrant. Black and white horses can also be colorful, just look at the light...
Dear Visitor You can take a person out of the art, but you can�t take the art out of a person. In retrospect I see that I was born into a very patriarchal Family Group. It was similar to an artistic sect. My uncle, the famous artist, was the boss of this Family group, and everyone else just circled around him all the time. He was Our love, Our sun and Our meaning of life. We all wanted him to see us and talk to us and love us. And we the kids all wanted to be great artists, just like him. But his sister, my mother, always warned me: Art wasn't considered proper work. So she absolutely didn't want me to be an artist if I could manage to be something else. So I studied Law, and technically I'm a lawyer. But really, inside my soul, I'm...

Government of, by, and for the 1%? Not much of a diary, but wanted to share this, which if true, will be huge news:
Update: 'Occupy' crackdowns coordinated with federal law enforcement officials
Over the past ten days, more than a dozen cities have moved to evict "Occupy" protesters from city parks and other public spaces. As was the case in last night's move in New York City, each of the police actions shares a number of characteristics. And according to one Justice official, each of those actions was coordinated with help from Homeland Security, the FBI and other federal police agencies.
The official, who spoke on background to me late Monday evening, said that while local police agencies had received tactical and planning advice from national agencies, the ultimate decision on how each jurisdiction handles the Occupy protests ultimately rests with local law enforcement.- Advertisement -
According to this official, in several recent conference calls and briefings, local police agencies were advised to seek a legal reason to evict residents of tent cities, focusing on zoning laws and existing curfew rules. Agencies were also advised to demonstrate a massive show of police force, including large numbers in riot gear. In particular, the FBI reportedly advised on press relations, with one presentation suggesting that any moves to evict protesters be coordinated for a time when the press was the least likely to be present.
Yeah, I know, phantom Justice official off the record .....
But hey, Naomi Klein warned that the 1% would not go down without a fight.
Naomi was asked to speak at Occupy Wall Street early days, and she concluded with this:
A few final thoughts. In this great struggle, here are some things that don't matter.
- What we wear.
- Whether we shake our fists or make peace signs.
- Whether we can fit our dreams for a better world into a media soundbite.
And here are a few things that do matter.- Advertisement -
- Our courage.
- Our moral compass.
- How we treat each other.

December 9, 2018 - Latest: What has happened to markets this year? by Darius McDermott
24th January 2014
A surge in higher cost parcel deliveries over the festive season has pushed Royal Mail group sales up by 2% with packages accounting for 51% of revenue writes Philip Scott.
In today's interim management statement covering the nine months to 29 December, the recently privatised group revealed it handled 115 million parcels in the month of December alone, "significantly more than any other carrier in the UK parcel market", asserted group chief executive officer Moya Greene.
However while higher parcel costs helped boost revenues, actual parcel volumes were flat, as the group said it had anticipated.
Greene added: "Our financial performance to date is in line with our expectations and gives us confidence that we will deliver against our key value drivers for the full year."
However the market update revealed that total letter revenue declined by 3% on a like-for-like basis, compared with a 4% like-for-like decline in the first half, as the year-on-year impact of London 2012 collectable stamp sales in the prior year diminished.
Stuart Welch, chief executive officer of broker TD Direct Investing says: "Today's announcement from the Royal Mail confirms that the growth of online shopping and demand over the festive season influenced a rise in parcel delivery revenue of 8%, despite parcel volumes remaining flat.
"This IPO has attracted much debate and focus, but the key question now is whether or not investors are in it for short or long-term gain."
The privatisation of Royal Mail back in October, was the highest profile and most controversy UK IPO in decades. After initially offering shares to the public at 330p, the stock has remained above 500p since and is currently trading at circa the 588p per share mark – 80% above the original price.
Just a fortnight ago, Labour accused the Government of short-changing taxpayers by hundreds of millions of pounds with its 'botched' sell-off of the firm.
Interviewed on the BBC's Today Programme on the day the Royal Mail privatisation took place in October, Business Secretary Vince Cable dismissed the jump in the price of Royal Mail shares as "froth", asserting that the sale price should be judged three months after its privatisation.
Chuka Umunna MP, Labour's Shadow Business Secretary, says: "We know that Vince Cable considered, then rejected, the option of floating Royal Mail at a higher price which would have brought in more cash for taxpayers. He still has serious outstanding questions to answer on the price he could have received three months ago in respect of what increasingly looks like a botched privatisation."

Light Dawning was a labor of pain that gestated for a year and a half, born of circumstances as grim and dark as the story itself.
Once known as the City on the Hill and revered far and wide for its independence and boundless opportunity, Cestia has become home only to the damned. Surviving under the brutal occupation of a southern empire for three long years, the oppressed populace has lost hope of liberation, turning instead towards an increasingly desperate rebellion willing to commit any atrocity for a chance at freedom.
As total war approaches, four lost souls trapped behind Cestia's walls are on a collision course with fate, destined to either save the city or see it utterly destroyed while calling on forces beyond mankind's comprehension. For good or ill, the light of a new day is about to dawn.
What makes your world special or different?
My approach with Light Dawning was to take anything that felt like a standard fantasy trope and immediately invert it or take it as far in the opposite direction as I could. There aren't any elves or dwarves here, for instance, and there won't be a backwater rube discovering he's the chosen one destined to save the world from some dark lord. Looming cosmic horror elements play a bigger inspiration than anything in the typical high fantasy realm.
In grimdark fashion, my goal was to inject the uncaring nature of reality into fantasy, which is a genre where the good guys can usually be expected to beat the bad guys no matter the odds stacked against them. That's not the case here, where no one is coming to save Cestia or liberate its people. Hope is pretty well exhausted for most of the people in the city, so all that's left is for each character to decide what they will do with their final days and whether any meaning can still be found in such bleak surroundings.
The book is less about the war going on that prompted the occupation in the first place and more about how the four main characters deal with their situation. The scope of the world at large is very purposefully kept smaller to create a feeling of claustrophobia and being trapped. The walls are closing in on those who have survived the occupation so far. The populace is generally left in the dark about the state of the world outside the city, with only the dead ever reliably making it beyond the gates on the way to mass graves.
Is there a system of magic?
This is one of those areas where I enjoyed taking the traditional fantasy elements and distorting them in various horrific ways. The are absolutely supernatural powers akin to magic, but in most cases they come with serious negative connotations and aren't the MacGuffin that saves the group of heroes at the last second.
If someone in this world finds themselves with the ability to wield magical abilities, it most likely means they drew the attention of something outside human comprehension that does not have humanity's best interest at heart. Magic might be useful, but its rarely controllable in a reliable way, and its almost always offered at a severe price.
A large portion of the story actually revolves around how the characters Myrr and Tala deal with being possessed by forces from outside the realm of stable sanity, and whether they try to put those powers to use for the greater good or keep them locked up tight where they can't do any harm. Trying to use those forces to help the beleaguered people of Cestia usually has catastrophically bad results.
What are the people who inhabit your world like and what systems of government are in place?
Cestia originally was a free city-state with very lax laws where trade flowed from across the continent and very little was illegal, serving as a sort of gateway between the disparate nations to the south and a huge religious kingdom further north. The city trusted its importance to trade – along with its sturdy walls and high position up on a hill with a clear line of sight into surrounding areas – to keep it safe from invaders.
They didn't expect the type of invasion that came under the command of an Empress who has been busy uniting all the southern nations into a cohesive whole. The specific type of government employed in the southern empire isn't quite clear, as the people of Cestia are living under an incredibly strict martial law enforced by an order of knights that is half religious, half military.
Discovering scraps of information about the workings of the wider continent at large is a major element of the book, which takes a very ground-view of things through the eyes of people without ready access to reliable news.
Are there any unnatural creatures?
Coming up with unnatural creatures was one of the most enjoyable parts of writing Light Dawning, as I tried to shy away from the typical orcs and so on. Most prominent in this book are creatures colloquially referred to by the people of Cestia as "scuttlers," who serve Overland Brant and hunt down fugitives. They have multiple long, multi-segmented legs that allow them to move low to the ground or pop joints into place to stand tall enough to be eye level with the roof of a small building. Not much can survive the force of the snapping jaws from either of these creature's dual heads.
There is a sort of sentient animal who plays a role in this book and will be more of a major character in the sequel. The Knights of the Black Gauntlet stationed in Cestia refer to it as the "Vim," and it combines serpentine, draconic features with those of an insect, with two sets of buzzing wings as well as arms for clutching a black spear. Its druid rider is an enigma to everyone in the city, as he appears to be involved in the occupation but doesn't answer to Brant or have any official role in the knighthood's hierarchy.
Is there a religious system in place?
Cestia used to have a variety of religions, but the dominant one involved the veneration of multiple deities by wise women who utilized knowledge of nature for healing purposes. That religion was quickly abandoned when none of those deities answered the prayers of a brutalized population, and none of those healers were any use in preventing mass executions.
The religion of the soldiers occupying the city is revealed in bits and pieces, as they don't bother to explain it to the people they are oppressing. This is another area where I turned more standard tropes upside down, as certain characters discover that the knights may not actually enjoy the brutal tactics they are forced to employ, and in fact hold religious rituals begging their deity for the cruelty necessary to do what must be done.
Much more prominent in the book is the faith of Father Erret, a missionary who willingly came to the city and wants to be trapped behind its walls in order to convert the invaders. He hails from that previously mentioned northern kingdom, and was actually booted out of his order due to his extremist views. Calling your superior priests false followers of god and accusing them of failing to properly follow the tents of the one true faith isn't a wise career move.
Erret is one of my favorite characters, always ready with a verse from his holy book or a religious platitude to quip out for any situation. He worships the light as both a physical personification – the actual light of the sun and stars – and a figurative one, shining "the light" into the darkness of what he perceives to be ignorance.
His interpretation of the religion involves taking humanity as far as it can possibly go, again both physically in the sense of traveling and not getting bogged down in the decadence and corruption of civilization, as well as metaphorically in the sense of growing and expanding in new ways not previously considered. In its basic form, Erret's religion would probably be benign or even admirable, but in his hands it becomes a dangerous thing. The unhinged missionary would be perfectly willing to burn the whole city to the ground if it meant gaining a few converts in whatever is left of the ashes.
What is one last thing you would like readers to know all about your world?
Like with the real world, there's always something awful you had no idea to be ready for lurking in the darkness just out of sight, ready to spring and bring you to your knees. I'm hoping this combination of dark fantasy and cosmic horror will strike a chord with readers, and there's already a sequel outlined and in the works that expands the scope of the world and reveals more of this bleak universe.

*The new list of most charitable celebrities came out recently with Oprah at the top. Through the Oprah Winfrey Foundation, the media mogul has donated more than $41 million toward education for women and children. But this isn't her first time being in the no. 1 spot. In fact, this is the third time she's seen the top.
In a distant second is novelist Nora Roberts who gave $4.45 million to her organization that supports literacy, children's programs, and other humanitarian efforts. Others on the list include Meryl Streep and hubby Donald Grummer at $4 million, Jami Gertz and Tony Ressler at $2.9 million, and Lance Berkman and Cara Berkman at $2.1 million.
"There are many generous celebrities, but when you can top a list of celebrity philanthropists three out of four years, as Oprah has, that is saying something," Marc Pollick, president of The Giving Back Fund, said. "Combined these celebrities donated nearly $80 million of their personal wealth to charities. We hope that in recognizing the extraordinary generosity of these celebrities, we will encourage and promote greater and more authentic giving among those blessed with both wealth and fame," Pollick added.

Being an Aston Martin, what separates the Vantage from its rivals is emotion. From the tingling sense of adrenaline when you see it to the feeling of pure exhilaration as you feel its 'Road Proven, Race Perfect' performance and hear its rousing exhaust note, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage delivers a driving experience that engages the senses and enriches your journey. Honed to deliver an intense experience on the road using knowledge gained from victories on the track, the Aston Martin V8 Vantage S is a lesson in race-bred dynamism. More power, sharper handling, stronger brakes and a new seven-speed gearbox make it a sporting driver's dream.
Sophisticated engineering and artful design make the Aston Martin V8 Vantage a consummate modern sports car. Exceptional performance and an irrepressible sporting character deliver excitement in abundance, yet its easy, intuitive feel, high levels of refinement and comprehensive equipment mean it is a very special car you can enjoy every day. The V8 Vantage Sportspack has been developed with the enthusiast in mind. Already boasting an outstanding chassis as its foundation, the Sportspack sees further key components tuned to deliver an even more agile and focused driving experience. A process-driven, comprehensive approach has been taken in re-engineering such components, to ensure that all modifications made work not only to complement each other but also to increase the precision of the overall driving experience.
For example the combination of uprated springs and Bilstein aluminium dampers with their improved dynamic response works in perfect harmony with new lightweight, five-spoke alloy wheels, all resulting in an exceptionally responsive suspension. Overall the pack helps reduce body roll and improve control especially at high speeds, while also offering unrivalled agility in all aspects of handling. Overall the pack helps reduce body roll and improve control especially at high speeds, while also offering unrivalled agility in all aspects of handling.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage Power Upgrade creates an even more potent version of Aston Martin's already impressive 4.3 litre engine. The Power Upgrade features valved airboxes that open at higher rpm allowing additional air into the engine, which in turn enables more power to be produced. Peak power is raised by 20bhp to 400bhp while peak torque is also increased by 10Nm to 420Nm. The revised engine management system also enables the engine to take full advantage of the latest high octane fuels, providing a crisper throttle response and stronger performance feel. Developed exclusively by Aston Martin Engineering, the new stainless steel silencer and new dark smoked stainless steel Graphit-IC tailpipes (exclusive to this system) have been engineered together with new engine calibration to give the V8 a more dynamic soundtrack whilst complying with all noise legislation. The silencer retains the engine management control valves but the new engine calibration optimises the valve opening to maximise sound quality. The system is suitable to fit to Aston Martin V8 Vantage N400, 09MY, 10MY and 4.3ltr cars that have had the Aston Martin 400bhp Power Upgrade.
The Aston Martin V8 Vantage features a complete integration package for iPod personal digital media players from Apple, allowing the iPod to be seamlessly incorporated into the dashboard display and electronic systems. The iPod range is integrated into the Aston Martin V8 Vantage via a specially designed interface, bringing the functions of this award-winning range of digital media players into the car's in-dash display. Finger-tip controls replicate the innovative menu structure of the iPod to ensure that your hands need never stray from the wheel in the search for the perfect accompaniment. The iPod is docked with the Aston Martin V8 Vantage via a cable located in a compartment in the centre arm-rest, which also provides the iPod with power. There is ample space available, allowing all types of iPod, including the iPod touch, iPod nano and iPod classic, to be used in conjunction with the car. A power socket, auxiliary input and USB interface allow the connection of other media players.
Aston Martin V8 Vantage S Roadsters are glorious exceptions. Styled to evoke the look of an athlete wearing a skin-tight suit, the Vantage Roadster's rakish lines and snugly tailored roof are perfectly in keeping with its pared-back, performance-biased brief. Raised or lowered in just 18 seconds at speeds of up to 50 km/h (30 mph), the powered fabric hood stows beneath an aluminium tonneau to create a clean, unbroken line from front to rear. Something shared by both Vantage Coupe and Roadster is a simply fabulous interior. Handcrafted from the finest natural materials and styled with the same confidence and purity as the exterior, the Vantage's two-seater cockpit provides comfortable space for driver, passenger and luggage. Its practical hatchback gives the Vantage Coupe a 300-litre (10.6 cu ft) luggage area up to three times larger than some rivals while the Roadster's 144-litre (5 cu ft) luggage compartment is also class-leading. The Vantage's Gran Turismo credentials are underlined by a large-capacity fuel tank for extended range between refuelling stops.

The si2k oled electronic viewfinder.
This viewfinder was an expensive option for the SI2K. When correctly set up, it works fine. If not correctly set up, you may find yourself underexposing your image if you are tempted to go with what your eye sees instead of managing exposure with the histogram, false colour assistance, spot metering or a separate light meter.
P+S in their usual manufacturing excellence have set the mounting of their viewfinder up so that when adjusted in its tilt plane and the appropriate lens selected, the viewfinder image to one eye and your free eye view coincide precisely. This makes follows of aircraft in flight a whole lot easier.
If there is a downside it is that P+S did not include an iris in the Evolution styled eyepiece. It is therefore possible for focused sunlight to burn and terminally damage the internal OLED panel. The damage spreads with time and operation so that the panel becomes unusable.
Best practice therefore is to cover the eyepiece and develop a habit of pointing it down when not in use. This is not a bulletproof solution. It was an automotive rear-view mirror reflection which took my viewfinder down. So covering the viewfinder when it is not in use is really the only best practice.

Re: Si2k handy hints
A while back I changed the system of mounting the recorder drive from the CRU Dataport25 "magazine" system to an EVO Eziswap open dock which fits in the same drive space.
Sadly, the market for the big SI2K P+S recorder body did not remain viable long enough for a second SATA channel to be enabled or it would have been possible in both the CRU Dataport25 and open swap options for a second drive to be available.
The Eziswap system is a little more fragile than the Dataport but is more convenient to use. The second drive space kin the Eziswap cannot be enabled but is a handy place to keep a spare drive stored.
Footnote. Image upload failed. Sorry about that.

Charlottesville, VA -- Ever since Bill Monroe introduced Bluegrass music to the world in 1939, gospel and sacred music have been a big part of that tradition. Today, with the music well into its 8th decade, it is still common for performing bands to include at least one religious song as part of its live performances. And there have been countless recordings as well.
Down through the years many -- if not most—of today's Bluegrass artists refer back fondly to memories of a simple church house where they first learned to sing with their families. This new album has been designed to bring back some of those memories, by presenting some of the finest and most enduring gospel songs, as well as spotlighting many of the notable groups and artists who have recorded for the Rebel Records label over the years.
There is a great deal of variety on this collection, from very old to very new songs, but they can all be considered classics of the genre. Two of the songs, ("Little Community Church", and "I'll Meet You in Church Sunday Morning") are songs written by Bill Monroe himself and have entered the repertoires of many Bluegrass artists. Another classic—"The Model Church"—goes back before the start of Bluegrass music itself, and became one of the most requested songsof J.D. Crowe's popular early group, The Kentucky Mountain Boys. Three Ralph Stanley songs here show some of the great variety in his work, from the rousing title song to the mournful and nostalgic a cappella "Turn Back, Turn Back". Among the newer songs are two penned by the great country songwriter Tom T. Hall, including the wonderful "They Called it a Church", as performed beautifully by Rock County, a group that included Don Rigsby, Glen Duncan and Scott Vestal. His other song here, "There's Always a Light in the Church", is sung and played by Paul Williams & The Victory Trio—one of the most popular of today's gospel groups.
"Little White Church" has always been a favorite of Mac Wiseman since his early days in music; "You Go to Your Church" is from the earliest recordings of the great brother duet, Jim & Jesse. And be sure to check out the two songs from veteran Joe Mullins' group, with Larry Sparks the guest vocalist on "Little Old Country Church House" and Rhonda Vincent's fine contribution on "We Missed You in Church Last Sunday".
Few listeners will fail to relate to the songs and messages in this collection—these are inspiring songs performed by some of the finest artists in music, and Rebel Records is proud to have preserved them and present them here!

Portions of two cards dated July 20, 2015 Hello Family..... News. We went on exchanges with our Sister Training Leaders this past Friday. That was fun. I got to go to Ozark with Sister Bastion. I have never been to Ozark and this is Sister Bastions first transfer there so we had fun. We went on an exchange with some members though who knew the area so that was good. Funny story about that. We were driving around out in the boondocks trying to find one of our members when I looked out the window and saw up someones driveway a mannequin with no clothes on being hung by it's neck from a tree with the words "Keep Out" written in black across it's chest.....So that happened! I don't even know what else to say about that. We also had dinner with a very active little family out in Nixa. Those kids were EVERYWHERE! The spiritual thought was interesting. We put two pieces of paper on the floor far apart....Us..................Jesus Christ telling the kids that there was hot lava in between and then asked them "How do we get across?" One answered, "Lava Shoes!"...Uh, not quite what we were looking for. So we talked about the gospel of Jesus Christ and for each part of the gospel we put down a paper stepping stone across the lava. At the end we had all the kids jump on the steps to get to Jesus. That soon turned into jumping everywhere in the room and then they began tearing up the stepping stones. ha ha! NO! Don't destroy the gospel! I have no idea how any of us are going to make it back to heaven now. lol. So that was fun. So mom you asked about our new mission president and his wife. They are so awesome! President and Sister Loveland. President Loveland is a farmer. They are from Pocatello Idaho. Sister Loveland is very sweet, but if she has something to say she says it! In our conference call with them the first Monday they were here Sister Loveland told us a bedtime story from the scriptures. It was so cute! She actually ended up forgetting parts of it, but she just laughed at herself and moved on. President Loveland is quieter than President Shumway was and he isn't as eloquent when he speaks but you can tell that he has a strong testimony and that he holds keys for this mission. He also knows his scriptures really well. As far as responsibilities that I have as a trainer....basically I just train. They have something called the 12 week program that we go through with our trainees to help them learn how to teach and what to teach and pretty much just how to be an effective missionary. So we do that for an hour everyday. Other that that, I report to the Mission President every week on how my trainee is doing. Then I just try and lead and teach by example mostly. It's pretty awesome. I really love being a trainer actually. Well, we have to head to FHE with the YSA now so this'll be the last you get from me this week. The gospel is true y'all! I KNOW it is. I love you! Have a great week! Thank you for all the notes and letters and prayers. They mean a lot! Love Sister Cryer P.S. Don't mean to make you jealous but we have a pretty sweet thunder and lightning storm going on right now!

Nigel Pearson favourite to be next Middlesbrough manager
Pearson could return to the Riverside after Aitor Karanka is sacked
Posted by
March 16th, 2017
Better late than never for Middlesbrough who have decided to act on the request of several supporters and dispense with the services of Aitor Karanka.
It must have been a decision that was taken with a heavy heart by owner and chairman Steve Gibson, although Boro's recent form has been poor and it currently appears as though they are returning to the Championship.
Nigel Pearson is the 2/1 favourite to step into the breach, with the former Leicester City manager having previously played for Middlesbrough and Gibson must be considering him among other candidates.
Pearson has recently had a stint in charge with Derby County which quickly ended in tears, although he could be interested in trying to keep alive the Premier League fortunes of the Teeside club.
Steve Agnew is in temporary charge and a 5/1 quote perhaps reflects the fact that the caretaker boss is in with a decent chance of getting the gig.

while others contend with a maze of rigging lines which all
run through and under the hull.
This book teaches Capt. Dan's
basic and the straight forward simple techniques that the
authors uses on all of his ship in a bottle models. These
basics can be enhanced and modified as model builders become
more proficient. Capt. Dan has included a showcase of ship in

the world. Often the best way to improve skills and technique
is to examine the exquisite work and detail of these masters.

ship-in-a-bottle is perhaps the most recognizable
classic piece of nautical decor available. This
fascinating book puts a new twist on this ancient
maritime art. For years shipwrecks have intrigued and
fascinated everyone from treasure hunters and divers to

the sea, can now have the enjoyment of crafting and
displaying their own shipwreck-in-a-bottle.
I must have 50+
books on the subject of Ships-in-Bottles. This became
the most recent book in my collection and I put it as
one of my favorites! It is all in FULL COLOR with many
illustrated instructions for every aspect of ship
bottling. I was surprised at how much info was packed
into the soft cover 188 pg book, and how much I learned
from this one that I hadn't from my other SIV books. No
matter what your skill level, i believe anyone could
learn something new from this book. I have both of Dan
Berg's books. The other is geared more for beginners.
This one would appeal to ALL ship bottlers or beginners.
This is easily MY favorite of the two books.
