Interview with Trey Azagthoth
Tartarean Desire
This interview with guitarist Trey Azagthoth of the American death metal band Morbid Angel was done by Andres Castro at their show on April 13th, 2004, at the House Of Blues in Lake Buena Vista, Florida, where they performed together with Suffocation and Satyricon.
When Morbid Angel began their career they quickly rose from the Florida swamps to become one of the most influential and important American death metal bands of all time. The band's legendary guitarist Trey took some time off to talk to our journalist Andres Castro about the present status of the band and his wishes to work with the female vocalist of Holland's The Gathering among other things. [The Editor]
Well, how are things working on for Morbid Angel right now?
I think its been going pretty damn good this year. We did a really nice tour. We just got finished about 2 weeks ago. It was a 5-week tour in Europe. We played like everywhere in Europe. We visited all the countries, the main cities, didn't really have any days off. There were a bunch of shows in a row. We got out to places like Croatia and Hungary, Down in Spain, Greece, we played in Greece a Few shows. That was a great tour; I thought that was really awesome. Most of it was Krisiun and us. Krisiun from S. America, those guys are great, they play awesome, and it was very fun to tour with them. The fans were very into it, had a great time. They liked the shows and told me they were into the new record, and hearing the new songs live and that kind of stuff, so that was cool. We were working on this new video that took a while to get edited properly, but it's finally getting aired on like MTV2 and on URANIUM. We have lot more touring, we gonna go and do some fly in festivals, like after this tour. This tour we're on now is about four weeks and then we are gonna have like 5 weeks off. Then we are gonna go to Europe and I think we'll go to Finland and some other shows, I don't remember exactly all the scheduling. But somewhere in there we are gonna play a show in Denmark, I think it's in Copenhagen, I'm not sure. But there's a really huge festival they invited us to play to, one of those festival that have like 75000 people, almost like a Castle Donnington kind of thing and we are playing the main stage and they invited us to play like 90 minutes, like a full set. It's amazing for us to be able to play such a big set on the main stage in this kind of concert that's so big and all that. And we are gonna do some shows in S. America, some in Mexico coming in the summer and then another states tour in the fall possibly. Then we are gonna do the Christmas festivals in Europe, it's like two weeks leading up to Christmas in December in Europe. So that fills us for the whole year I think.
I saw Tony from Monstrosity playing with you tonight. Is he a permanent member of Morbid Angel or just for the touring?
Well, It's kind of a weird question because as far as like doing records and stuff like that I really like to do all the guitars myself and do all the writing so I don't that Tony is gonna be on the next record but I can't really say any announcement on anything but he is definitely doing the touring with us, he's having a good time doing it plus he is on Monstrosity and they do records and things like that. He's not a sideman, so he is the band and we are doing stuff together sure.
When I first listened to your new album I was surprised because this is a record I wasn't expecting in many ways. I find it very experimental and more complex than previous stuff you have recorded, was it intentional? What do you want to approach with this album?
Well, like going back to Formulas and Gateways. I was trying to build more songs with lots of polyrhythms where the two guitars are independent from each other doing different parts. Not just a variation like harmony but actually doing a whole independent movement and have it pan left and right, kind of make it this big fighting kinda thing. The guitars are fighting each other or bouncing off each other and I think Heretic is like pretty much… Every song has this kind of idea in it. It's really like trying to maximize this idea, even make it like… the song Beneath The Hollow is actually like two songs in one, where the left guitar is almost playing a different song than the right guitar is playing, and then have this really swinging beat. Very groovy swinging beat, very snappy, in the pocket kind of snare action. Really catchy but yet it's not easy. Like some bands' songs are really catchy and are not playing anything complicated at all, it's just really easy to get into. I want to make really complicated, tricky weird stuff sound easy, but it's really not. Like make it really catchy but yet to have obscure and strange and weird morphs, because that's the way I write, I like to write stuff that's all about feeling and imagination not just about aggression, we have aggression too. I think Heretic has tons of that, polyrhythms, grooves, swinging, tight stuff, because to me our music back to the beginning was swing, not just brutal death metal, it wasn't just a straight line of pa pa pa pa pa (imitating a blast beat), or whatever, it was swinging, the groove, going back and forth, get the body moving, and I think Heretic is really far into that, very complicated guitar playing but the sound in which you can just hear everything so clear and not like having to search for which string played what like in Formulas or like Gateways where everything is so down tuned. Heretic is more like in the face. Just positive, exciting a fun record.
How about those hidden tracks which to me sound very experimental. What was the intention behind that?
Well, basically, we did the record in a way that you know; we didn't go to a big studio. We went to a small studio with Punchy who has mixed us live for many years… so basically it was such a relaxed situation we had more time spent on everything, it wasn't so expensive every hour so we could like play with it and I just wanted to do anything and everything, have fun, I didn't care what the people would like. It was about doing our own thing and exercising our freedom. In a band you always bring the kind of songs you wanna write, put whatever on the record, arranges and so. This is just something we wanted to explore, because a CD can hold so much time and I wanted to play around with silent tracks, a little short tack, then silence, kind of the work on Love Of Lava idea. It's mainly made that way for random play, random shuffle. You play the record and put it in random shuffle then it goes down to silent tracks where you listen to nothing for a while, then you got two songs, it's really weird. Just basically having fun. I always try to search for ways to having more fun with it and keep it exciting, like with the mic techniques, I always use guitar effects and things like that but I also use mic techniques like use weird things like an air fan between the mic and the cabinet just for the weird sounds. It's really old school like Pink Floyd or something. It's about these kind of people that are really into the music to where they not just skim to the surface of it, they are like very into the vibrations, the feeling and the flow, the way I'd listen to music and there's all this extra stuff from those people.
I understand Eddie Van Halen is your favorite guitar player…
I'd say my favorite all time guitar player. I don't listen to Van Halen all the time right now.
But besides that I'd like to know where your influences come from.
I'm influenced by a lot of things. I'm influenced like by playing Quake III Arena on line, I'm influenced by Doom; I'm influenced by the band The Gathering from Holland; I'm influenced by all kinds of different things, I'm into these things that are just fun and it's kind of the way I do things. As far as bands, I don't just listen to metal; I listen to like hip-hop, Pink Floyd. I listen to all kinds of stuff and stuff that is really trippy and groovy and swinging, something that makes me move the body, because I try to stay away from just pure aggression or some rock bands like Iron Maiden, I never liked Iron Maiden. I like stuff that has a certain feeling; it's a personal preference. My favorite band right now is The Gathering.
What do you think of their acoustic album?
It's awesome. I wanna do a project with Anneke; I've been talking to her trying to get something worked out. I think somewhere in the future there's gonna be a Trey and Anneke record. I don't know what's that gonna be called. It's gonna be awesome. It's gonna be other thing. This is going to be something different. It's definitely going to be epic.
Well, thank you so much. Anything to add?
Morbid Angel is always going to be heavy and extreme, it's all from the heart. I open myself to all this energy and freedom and not having any kind of walls or rules, that's the way I write and it's the way Morbid Angel will always be.

Bash the Bulldogs! (Auburn vs. Georgia Open Thread)
Last time Auburn beat Georgia…
War Eagle, everybody! Amen Corner continues today in Auburn as the top-ranked, undefeated Georgia Bulldogs pay a visit. This is an important game for the Auburn Tigers as they stand at 5–1 in the SEC. Lose this one, and the Tigers will need help from Mississippi State to get to the SEC Title game. Win it, and Auburn will continue to control its own destiny. For Georgia, the pressure is on, despite winning the SEC East title last week. A loss here will damage Georgia's playoff hopes and knock it out of the top spot. Which team handles the pressure the best will likely come out on top in this one.
Some folks believe that in this game Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn is fighting for his job. Should Auburn lose today, it will mark 4 losses in a row to rival Georgia, 6 losses in the last 7 games, and 10 of the last 12. It has certainly been a dismal mark the past decade. The game will kick off at 2:30 PM Central Standard Time, and it will be nationally televised on CBS.
The cool temperatures of fall have arrived in the deep south, and a jacket is recommended for those attending this game. Skies will be clear with a bright sun hanging low in the southern sky behind the large jumbotron in the stadium. It will be about 63 degrees at kickoff, falling quickly into the 50's. The sun will set during the third quarter.
As always, feel free to join in and enjoy this thread. I will not be available for play by play, today, as duty calls. I'll be returning to action next weekend vs. Louisiana Monroe. War Eagle, and let's see if Auburn continues a championship run against the Georgia Bulldogs!

Well now that I have gotten your attention I am not trying to sell anything here . I am wondering though with times changing and LF equipment becoming less avail able in many camera stores why this site does not provide an area where people c an offer to sell or buy equipment?
Please be aware that I am neither for nor against this idea at this time but rat her just curious as to why this policy exists. I am sure there is a very good re ason for having this rule implemented but would like to invite you to enlighten me and perhaps others. Once again I stress that I am not advocating a change but rather hopefully stimulating an interesting dialogue and perhaps enlightening o thers to possible alternatives of exchanging used LF equipment besides the obvio us such as Ebay.
Although I would not normally ask two unrelated questions in a thread I feel tha t this question requires only a simple yes or no so I?ll ask it now. After you h ave been visiting this site for a while and have become more knowledgeable in th e large format arena do you return to older threads and add to them?
Kind Regards,

Outstanding food and tons of it. You will not walk away hungry. Any of the specials are wonderful. This is a local haunt that has been here for decades and is now spreading to other part too. While the food is awesome and plentiful, it is expensive for Tex Mex. Atmosphere is noisy like el Mercado.

Natural Gas Line to be Constructed
Posted by Christina on August 1st, 2014
The Public Service Commission voted 2-1 to let We Energies' Wisconsin Gas division build the new lateral from Tomah to Eau Claire. The new pipeline will start going in next year. The $182 million West Central Lateral project would make it possible for WE Energies to provide gas to residential customers in Clark, Eau Claire, Jackson and Monroe counties and frac sand mining processors in Western Wisconsin.
Plans filed by WE Energies last year indicated that the West Central Lateral would start from a proposed interconnection with the Viking Gas Transmission Co. pipeline in Eau Claire or Clark County and run south with delivery points to Wisconsin Gas' existing distribution networks in Augusta, Hixton, Alma, Black River Falls and Tomah. The project is scheduled to be completed in November 2015.

Polar elf Bernard cleans manure after flying elves of Santa Claus and dreams of glory. Every year it brings in "Santa Inkorporeyted's" company the new invention, capable to help Santa in his work, and every year his presentation terminates in a failure. Here and this year Bernard's invention fails and for a while cuts down light on all pole. Among other elfiysky devices the camouflage board is disconnected, and Santa's village is marked on a radar by the harmful owner of corporation on delivery of cargoes which since the childhood dreams to learn how Santa Claus for only one night carries million gifts. When henchmen of the millionaire attack a pole and take elves and their leader prisoner, Bernard uses built in Santa's sledge a time machine to return to the past and to correct the oversight. However it is trapped again. And in the second time. And in the third …
Shot from the animated film «to Rescue Santa»
Though «to Rescue Santa» British were a producer, drew it in India. Prana Animation is the Indian studio which is mainly working for the western market
The British animation producers, apparently, liked idea of mechanization of Santa mythology. Two years ago we saw at cinema «Secret service of Santa Claus» of Aardman and Sony Pictures Animation studios where Santa's family delivered gifts on huge "UFO", and now to us offer the animated film of Gateway Films and Prana Animation studios where in sledge of Santa Claus the time machine is built in and where the protagonist and other clever elves invent mechanical, instead of magic adaptations. Certainly, during iPhone and iPad era it is more interesting to artists to draw elfiysky computers, instead of elfiysky magic wands. But, reducing New Year's magic to a science and equipment, screenwriters «to Rescue Santa» got to a subject trap.
Shot from the animated film «to Rescue Santa»
The director «to Rescue Santa» Leon Dzhusen began as the animator at Disney studio. He drew "Little Mermaid", «Rescuers in Australia» and «Oliver and the company»
Really, if Santa is abrupt, because the cleverest work for it in the world scientists, Neuville Beddington, despite the word bad ("bad") in its surname, is absolutely right, when tries to find out force Santa's secrets. After all the polar governor hammers nails a defibrillator. Only present, how many people can be rescued if to deliver with a speed of Santa food, drugs, doctors, rescuers, bodies for change! Even if to take for it money, it all the same where more morally, than once a year free of charge to carry to children gifts – often inutile knickknacks. If the secret of Santa Claus is not «special northern magic», and smart technology, elves are worse than nazis. At least, some nazis doubted that it is necessary to shoot small children. And Bernard and his friends do not think at all of those people who perishes every year because elves and Santa hide the inventions from mankind.
Shot from the animated film «to Rescue Santa»
But, let us assume, we forgot about this enormous logic mistake and at the same time ignored that shocking fact that not Neuville, and his stale mummy (animated films for kids with a rating 0 + should learn to obey mother instead of to doubt her words) appears the main villain of a tape. How looks «to Rescue Santa», if to deduce for brackets ideology?
Shot from the animated film «to Rescue Santa»
All the same badly. Colourful, but poor computer animation, a confused plot with accumulating travel in time which can nonplus small children (in «Back in the future» a plot was where it is simpler!), odorous jokes about manure, not terrible and not ridiculous, and razdrazhayushche the pretentious villain, hardly planned minor characters … And songs. Oh, these songs! It is hard to say, whether "merit" is founders of the Russian dubbing-in or the original too was dreadful, but when Bernard starts to sing, it would be desirable to run out from a hall. Because its songs are intolerable and is musical, and lyrically, and on execution. And, by the way, why the hell songs not so lyrical and not to the romantic animated film?

Quote:Writing about his experiences in the infantry during the Burma campaign[3], the author George MacDonald Fraser stated that one Bren gun was issued to each eight man section. One soldier would be the gunner and another would be his 'number two', who would carry extra ammunition and the spare barrel and change magazines in combat. The top-mounted magazine vibrated and moved during fire, making the weapon more visible in combat, and many Bren gunners used paint or improvised canvas covers to disguise the prominent magazine.
Quote:Originally posted by: rockinharry:Things Most Often Left Out...Realistic german infantry AT weaponry and ammo loads. I stumble upon that in almost every scenario, but one problem is a BFC homemade one. IE rifle grenades (cup launcher) were introduced in german army (WW2) in early 1942 and not 1941. BFC makes it standard german weaponry as early as 1941. 1941 german infantry should have nothing but grenade bundles, maybe 1-2 a full squad. More for infantry in prepared (defensive) positions and maybe less or none for attacking ones. The grenade bundle can be given even to 1944/45 german infantry squads, as it was always available (made from the normal stick grenades), but normally you would have more than enough Panzerfausts available then.RE rifle grenades: There was 1 cup launcher per squad and the guy operating the thing carried about 15 grenades of the HE type or about half of the HEAT type. Any mix to be carried was possible. CM does not allow more than 4 of the ammo to be carried, which is plain wrong (since CM modells any other ammo loads for other weapons realistically). However, the german rifle grenade launcher ( a dual purpose weapon) was in widespread use until the end of the war (1 per infantry squad), despite the availability of other infantry AT weaponry.So if you opt for a rifle grenade launcher in a german infantry squad, then at least give him full ammo of 4 and not 1 or 2. Don´t overload the small tank hunting teams with tons of ammo! IE giving the small 2 men teams full load of both, HE and AT stuff. If you stick them in trenches/foxholes, then ok, but if intended to hunt/move after enemy vehicles, how realistic would that be? CM just models the "attacking" party of a large tank hunter team (hunters, cover force, ammo carriers). Rule of thumb; 2 guys = two Fausts or 2-4 HL3.Another nice one: Attacking infantry (any nation) loaded full with molotov cocktails. I have serious doubts about that, but a complete "no go" is tank or halftrack borne infantry (Panzergrenadiers) loaded with them.

Busy Burberry prepares for monthly 'B Series' product drop
Oct 16, 2018 | By Nigel Taylor
Feb 13, 2010
New York: For the second season in a row, Richard Chai chose to showcase Love, his more affordable contemporary line, at Bryant Park — a smart decision given the present economy. The former Marc by Marc Jacobs design director flashed back to the similar angst-filled days of the early 90s for his latest collection. However, if Jacobs' vision of grunge was covered with a layer of grime, then Chai's was viewed through rose-colored glasses. Feminine, floral-printed blouses topped maxi tube skirts and diaphanous wide-legged pants to craft a long and languid silhouette. The layering went even further with flounced silk dresses, sequined sweaters, basic tees and oversized yet well-tailored boyfriend coats thrown into the mix. Lightweight fabrics and a soft color palette of washed-out blush tones with military blues and greens lent a trans-seasonal appeal and also kept the looks effortlessly effervescent. In typical grunge fashion, chunky work boots (courtesy of Timberland) and fingerless gloves complemented everything from maxi dresses to easy trousers. With this collection of wearable yet well-designed basic and fashion separates, Chai seems to have struck a winning formula that extends beyond the contemporary market.

Alexis Brown does the vocals for metal band Straight Line Stitch where her good looks, siren-like voice, and famous "windmill" hair whip have amassed a large fan base. I also like how her band's maintaining the "long hair on guys" look which I've always liked about men in rock.
I'm an entertainer, I sing for a heavy metal band called Straight Line Stitch. I'm just your normal average woman who loves to laugh, likes to read, likes to watch scary movies in her free time, & travel the world.Ah...the humility.
~ Alexis Brown
Straight Line Stitch is a really awesome band; their guitarist officially owns my heart. I've saved you guys the trouble of looking up their music, and you better say thank you because this band is addictive. You can't watch just one video.

Painting #4449 Freedom Train on October 20, 2016
Painting indoors on a really rainy day in Portland Oregon. Last Thursday, October 20. The Oregon Rail Heritage Center lets us paint indoors where it is 70F and dry on rainy Thursdays. Here is a painting of #4449 Freedom Train that went coast to coast in 1976 to celebrate the United States bicentennial. This train will pull the Christmas train starting the day after Thanksgiving. Maura Jess and John Lehman also painted #4449.

Whoah - check out Boku (Kodu before it was Kodu) in 2007
Look at that ground texture ... look at that draw distance ... look at that real tree.
3 comments:
Wow, I'm having flashbacks. At the time of that video Boku was just over 3 months old and we'd been cramming like crazy to get it ready for the TechFest demo. The huge draw distance doesn't really exist, that's just an environment map with the ocean/islands on it. At the time the terrain was a simple height map with blended textures. For certain types of games it looks more "real" but it's not nearly as flexible as the current terrain system.ReplyDelete
Ahhh, yes ... very sneaky. Very sneaky indeed.ReplyDelete
I like the idea of what looks like palm tree's too. Interesting to see what happened from conceptual to where Kodu is today!ReplyDelete

(Nasua narica)
Coatimundi (pronounced ko-WAH-ti-MUN-dee) are a member of the raccoon family, sharing the ringed tail and the inquisitive nature. However, the raccoon is nocturnal and the coatimundi is typically active during the day. The white-nosed coatimundi is a native of Central and South America, and can even be found in the desert areas of the American Southwest. The brown-nosed coatimundi lives only in South America.
Coatis are omnivores, eating both meat and plants. In the wild, they eat fruits, berries, insects, birds, eggs, lizards, and even snakes and small mammals like mice and squirrels. They use their long, probe-like nose for searching through leaves, crevices, and holes to find their favorite foods. The long claws on their feet are good for tearing apart rotting logs.
Coatis reach sexual maturity at about 2 years of age. Male coatis join the band of females during the breeding season, varying by location from October to March. After breeding, the females kick the males out of the group and prepare their nest, usually high in the trees. Gestation lasts for about 77 days and the mother produces 2-6 young. Coati young are blind for 12 days and stay in the nest until they are about 6 weeks old. They are weaned by the time they are 4 months old.
Coatimundi can inhabit almost any type of terrain from coastal mangrove forests to dense tropical forests, lowland savannas, and even deserts. They are plentiful throughout much of their range. They help control populations of mice and insect pests while serving as a source of food for larger predators, most notably big cats. Coatimundi live in groups of 5-20 or more females and their young. Males live generally solitary lives and are only allowed in the group for mating. This is to prevent males from eating the young. For the same reason, young male coatis are ejected from the group when they reach 2 years of age. Coatis are considered agricultural pests in some areas and have even been known to take poultry. They are also hunted for their meat.
Other Fun Coati Facts:
– The coati\'s tail can be longer than its head and body combined. It uses the tail for balance when climbing trees and to identify group members in tall grass on the ground.
– Their ankles are double jointed and extremely flexible. This enables the coati to descend a tree headfirst.
– The legs and claws of a coati are strong enough to hold onto tree limbs with the back feet and eat with the front ones.
– Coati have a quirky habit of dipping their noses in something with a flowery or perfumed aroma and rubbing it into their tails.
– Coatis can growl, hiss, and bark when alarmed, but their normal communication is a high-pitched squeak.
– The coatimundi is also called the hog-nosed coon, snookum bear and Brazilian aardvark.

The QuantSoftware ToolKit
QSToolKit (QSTK) is a Python-based open source software framework designed to support portfolio construction and management. We are building the QSToolKit primarily for finance students, computing students, and quantitative analysts with programming experience. You should not expect to use it as a desktop app trading platform. Instead, think of it as a software infrastructure to support a workflow of modeling, testing and trading. Our initial implementation targets:
- Daily trading (versus intra-day high frequency trading);
- Publicly traded equities for which historical data are available;
- US market calendars (e.g. NYSE open/close).
Having said that, the tool kit can easily be adapted for other trading regimes. You might want to scan our Work Flow Guide to see how we intend QSToolKit to be used. That should help you decide whether it would be useful for you.

Man United 3 Tottenham 0
Wayne Rooney and Manchester United delivered a bruising knockout performance as Tottenham were blown away at Old Trafford.
Rooney put aside the controversy created by his kitchen sparring session with Phil Bardsley to put in a superb performance in the 3-0 victory.
The England captain, a buzzing nuisance to Spurs all afternoon, scored United's third goal after Marouane Fellaini and Michael Carrick had done the early damage for Louis van Gaal's men, who moved within one point of third-placed Arsenal after this huge morale-boosting victory.
This was by far the best performance of Van Gaal's reign.
Finally, eight months after taking the helm, the Dutchman was able to deliver the kind of performance United's often pessimistic supporters craved - one of pace, flair, width and destruction.
It was like old times at Old Trafford.
Juan Mata, starting his first league game since January 17, carved open a poorly organised Spurs defence with ease and Ashley Young gave the watching England manager Roy Hodgson food for thought with another impressive display on the left wing.
But Hodgson will be most pleased with Rooney's display.
The emergence, on Sunday morning, of a video appearing to show the striker being knocked out by Stoke defender Bardsley in a February sparring session may have caused consternation in some quarters.
But the 29-year-old put the incident behind him, scoring his 14th goal of the season before celebrating with a cheeky flurry of punches in the corner.
United's form had recently represented that of a washed-up forty-something slugger.
Nut now, thanks to this victory, they look every inch up for the scrap for Champions League qualification.

Creepy. Funny. Cool! The new trailer for M. Night Shyamalan's Signs is all of these things and more. I've been a huge fan of M. Night from the start. Unbreakable isn't exactly at the top of my rewatch list, but this is a young director who is putting everything he's got into his films. And Signs may be his magum opus... so far. See the new trailer for Signs yourself at the official site.
While it's not our practice to review flicks ahead of time, early word on Signs is extremely positive. Folks that have seen the film at recent test screenings are praising it as groundbreaking. One moviegoer who saw the film told Coming Attractions, "Signs... will be remembered for breaking new ground in the genre... It is clever and well thought-out."
Another scooper tells AICN, "It's funny. Very funny... With the exception of a couple really jokey parts, the humor is based on the severity of the situation and really helps the audience relate to what's going on... It's scary. Very scary... truly unsettling. Your skin crawls more from what is implied than what is shown... It's touching. Ultimately, this is a film about a family that stays together despite all of their problems and the fact that the end of the world may or may not be nigh."
Signs hits theaters on August 2nd.

ETSY has been busy re-designing shop-fronts. I have used that as an opportunity to re-think how I describe what it is that I do. I seem to have outgrown my first strapline, 'Coast and Country Textiles': firstly because with the advent of my greeting cards range, I no longer offer textile products alone; and secondly because my work has naturally graduated towards the coast rather than the country. Time for a re-think.
Playing with straplines is an interesting activity. It has forced me to take a step back and look at my work from the outside. I have had all kinds of conversations with myself as part of the process and in the end I have decided to go with 'Contemporary Coastal Style'. I will live with that one for a while and see how it feels.

I wish I could draw. This is what most people tell me when they avoid putting pencil to paper. My answer? You can, but your expectations are in the way. Too often we focus on the product – what we want to create. Our culture values the end result: the finished item, the goal reached, the happy ending. Think instead, about the process of drawing. A few pencil marks can reflect an observation and a connection. For me, the process of keeping a visual journal is a pathway. Every time I sketch something, I create a new connection to nature; I get to know my subject on an intimate level, I ask questions, I reflect, I explore.
My first journals were like written notes to myself – about what I planted and where, about the butterflies that visited my nectar and larval plants, and the birds I saw in my yard. When I visited parks or hiked in the woods, I'd write down the plants I was able to identify, and what flowers were blooming. Then I started to add small sketches and photos, maps, and pressed leaves. I also kept a separate sketchbook for ideas, studies, and color mixes, because I painted in watercolors.
At some point, my separate books blended into a nature journal composed mainly of artwork, with notes and observations added as the mood struck me. My subject matter varies – one day it might be a flowering shrub, the next day a snail shell. I particularly enjoy drawing our native plants and wildlife, and observing them through the seasons. I find it helpful to add the date, weather, and temperature information, sometimes incorporating it into my art. Other artists' works have inspired me to add calligraphy and poetry to my images occasionally.
Here's what I've discovered that makes these journals valuable to me: my drawing skills have sharpened, especially when I draw on a weekly basis. My observation skills are much better. I find myself specifically looking at details in order to capture them on the fly or to write them down after my sketches. My knowledge base has become more dimensional. I don't know exactly how to explain this statement, but not only have I learned more, my emotional connection to nature has become more specific. I also have a deeper sense of how individual parts fit into the whole.
On the practical side, to keep a journal is simply to record information and/or explore inner thoughts. Some people like to keep two journals, one with and one without images. Some (like me) combine media. Journals can be as organized or as creatively arranged as desired. Think about how you might want to use the information in the future, or how you might organize the material for future reference. My journals tend to be time-based, like a diary, but I've been considering journals based on a theme: perhaps by season, by location, or by habitat.
I like to incorporate other disciplines and different art techniques in my journal. I've always loved the written word, and have been inspired to write my own Haiku poetry. Historical connections add meaning and sometimes explain present day circumstances. Photos and maps can be added easily. Leaf and bark rubbings, leaf prints, or pressed flowers make interesting additions. Sometimes math enters the picture in the form of distances, patterns, and dimensions. Many plant lovers are familiar with the Fibonacci sequence, which manifests in the spiral patterns of pinecones, pineapples, and sunflower heads.
I'd like to encourage you to keep a visual journal as your personal journey of exploration. It might start with simple drawings of your garden or hiking adventures, with photos and descriptive words. It might be a chronicle of the wildlife that visits your backyard. It might be reflective of your day-to-day explorations.
Remember to keep in mind the process, and not get over-involved with the outcome of each page. As you practice, you'll find your skills improving in every area. Don't be discouraged if you start and then stop. When you're ready, you'll pick up your journal again and the words and pictures will flow onto the page. This is your exploration of the beauty of life around you!

"How to Keep a Sketchbook Journal" by Claudia Nice.
She explores types of journals, the whys and wherefores, themes, and gives examples of entries. There is also a chapter on materials and one on drawing basics. Many of her subject are outdoors themes. Her specialty is pen and watercolor, and she gives some nice basics on drawing and how to create textures.
"Keeping a Nature Journal: Discover a Whole New Way of Seeing the World Around You" by Claire Walker Leslie and Charles Roth.
The authors explore the value of nature journaling, giving examples of different styles, ideas for themes, basic equipment, drawing basics, ending with chapters on teaching and sharing nature journaling, including a suggested scale for assessing journals. A great tool for educators or home-schoolers.
The "Watercolourist's Nature Journal" by Jill Bays.
If you are interested in using watercolor paints, this is a nice book to browse. The author assumes you have some basic watercolor skills, and briefly discusses materials and procedures at the beginning, adding other materials and techniques throughout the book.

* Fixed a "Warning" box that was appearing but shouldn't have been
* Added a message when setting up a listen server notifying the user what ports they must have open on their firewall to host the game.
Other Fixes
* Shortened the default length of time the server waits before the map changes after the players win/lose a game
* Set proper defaults for Difficulty/Game Length. It was defaulting to Beginner/Short, changing this to Normal/Medium

The protests and demonstrations of recent times (a year, to be precise) so far have gotten the attention. It has been less present in the concrete public agenda than it is in Brazilian minds. Historical injustices and deep contradictions were "rediscovered", unmasked, in a way that the social body does not know how to deal with. It is an explicit reediting of the idea of "vanguard of lateness".
Certainly Brazil has many problems and even with the last decades´ advances we are still in a position miles away from where we want to be as a nation. There is still a lot to do for a change in our historically rooted socio-political-cultural problems. But there is also another truth: even being organized by an entity like FIFA; even being just a commercial circus; and even with all the economic barriers for people to participate, this World Cup is a unique moment for the country.
Needless to say that to participate in the World Cup one doesn't have to be directly in it. I was in Germany during the 2006 World Cup and have not been to any other. I can say that my memories of that time that I "participated" in a World Cup are much like those of other World Cups. The TV replays, repeated incessantly after the matches, are remembered much more easily than the glimpses seen live in person. The discussions with friends, the hugs after goals, do not depend on being at the stadium. The Cup is for the whole world.
But at the same time, after all is said and done, it was the place where it happened. It should be like that before and during the games. It will certainly be like this afterward. When I was at Germany´s World Cup the atmosphere was not much more excited than Brazil nowadays. The bars were crowded on match days, hordes of fans from different nationalities walked side by side toward the Stadiums. On regular days, the streets hadn't much more than a few flags hanging. Some might say that "Brazil is different! It is a cheerful country". Maybe we're maturing.
For the good and the bad, the national mood of demonstrations will be remembered only as a footnote to the competition as well as for some unfinished work. What will live on in people's memories is who were the goal scorers, which were the most controversial moments and most of all who which country got the cup itself. The collective memory is also selective. It filters what is considered relevant in each moment and it will also occur to this great moment in the world of sport regardless of street demonstrations.
Football is an art form. Even if one can criticize the dominant commercial aspect, goals, dribbles and defenses are paintings that touch our hearts. It may not make any sense but when the ball hits the net we are transported to the pitch. We feel as if we are a part of the embrace of those heroes on the field. It's a contagious emotion. As art, it plays with other senses far beyond our pockets or the material situation of the stadium. This is so true that even in local clay fields we can cry the same way we do at a championship final. With the best of the world playing here, it will be even more awesome!
Not being part of this celebration, thinking that it will influence the October elections, turning most relevant issues of the present as a bet on the future can be a valid option. It won´t be mine. I believe that it is possible to live with our opportunities and problems in balance. The World Cup will be a party and I will make it the greatest joy of my life. It is almost a dream that it is going to happen here in Brazil! And I will not tell future generations that I did not make the best of it because the 'mood' wasn't so good at the time. We are not living under a dictatorship. In a completely democratic time, Brazil will receive hundreds of thousands of citizens from many other nations that will come here to party as well. Whoever doesn't want to may not participate. But the party will happen and I won´t be in the group that missed it.
My flags are hung and will keep on cheering for my country inside and outside of the fields. I have no mongrel complexes, this is my country. It is a contradictory place with its delays, extreme self-criticism, very little pride in itself, but still making great things happen. And I'm sure that when the World Cup ends, we'll be proud of what we've done. It will be a great party not only for Brazilians but for the whole world.

Hong Kong Cup Results
Hong Kong Jockey Championship
Cigar Mile Day
Hollywood Derby
Hollywood Turf Cup
Shagaf is led to the winner's circle after the Gotham Stakes
The $400,000 Gotham Stakes (G3) is the first major New York prep for the Triple Crown, and is worth 50 points to the winner in the Kentucky Derby Championship Series. Conditions on Long Island were typical for early March, with mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the high 30's. A field of 7 three-year-olds contested this 1 1/16 mile inner track feature, with Shagaf sent off as the 5-4 favorite, undefeated in 2 starts and making his stakes debut. In to challenge him included 4-1 second choice Sunny Ridge, winner of the Withers (G3) after finishing second in both the Champagne (G1) and Delta Jackpot (G3), and 9-2 third choice Adventist, third in the Withers last out.
Shagaf (outside) closes in the stretch.

Coming into the race it was our plan was to be able to teach him something and possibly still win the race. The horse broke so sharp, Irad told me had to take a hold of him to see what everyone else was going to do. He put him in a good spot. He was little on and off the bridle down the back side catching that dirt for the first time, but once he got in the clear he was much more comfortable getting away from the kickback. The fact he can secure a spot early with his positional speed is going to come in handy later on. He's gaining experience with each start. Irad rode him terrific and it's a real team effort. My crew down in Florida did a fantastic job getting him ready, my crew here in New York received him and handled everything working together great."

He did everything right. He was like a professional. When I gave him his cue, he took off. He's a nice horse. Chad is going little by little with him. I think we could see him in the Derby; he's good, we have to see what happens."
Right: The horses break from the gate for the Gotham.
Left: Second place finisher Laoban returns after the race. Trainer Eric Guillot said, "I don't think anybody did anything wrong. We had to go off plan when we drew the rail (and had to be involved earlier). He's a big, 17.1 hands horse and he's a little straight up behind. He never really breaks that sharp. He broke a half-jump slow and Aaron had to quarter-horse him a little bit to get him rolling. He's got tons of ability but this horse, when you ride him, he gets on the muscle and just keeps peddling. The second quarter, I think, cost us the win but that's what you have to do when you have a horse that doesn't break that fast. Otherwise, we probably would've been buried on the rail and wouldn't have hit the board."
Right: Third place finisher Adventist heads out for the post parade. Trainer Leah Gyarmati said, "He ran great. He's definitely learning. Each race has been a new challenge for him and he's stepped forward. He still has a lot to learn. ĀI think distance is going to help him, and each experience is going to make him a better horse. He makes his run, but he's still young and figuring it out. He's going in the right direction. We'll probably look at the Wood."Ā
Mei Ling leads down the stretch
Jockey Jose Ortiz sent Mei Ling loose on the lead through fractions of 24.17, 48.05, and 1:12.82, as many as 4 lengths in front of 9-1 Pangburn in second. At the top of the stretch Mei Ling continued to hold on to a 3 length advantage as 13-2 Saythreehailmary's moved up from 4th to attempt a rally. However Mei Ling easily turned her away, cruising to a 3 1/4 length win in 1:45.07. It was a neck back to Pangburn and late-running 6-1 Include Betty who dead-heated for third, while favorite Cali Star failed to close and finished fifth.

She's a better a filly when she's able to run away and we were able to break good and get the lead along the rail. She's gotten better every time I've ridden her and she showed that today."
Right: Mei Ling comes over from the barns before the race. Byron Hughes, assistant to trainer Todd Pletcher said, "It worked out on the lead. Jose rode her last time in Maryland and we thought we were doing a good job by holding her and walking the dog on the front end, but Jose said he had figured her out. You've got to let her do her thing. She's got a high cruising speed and that worked out today."

To make better use of the tax-payer funds made available for faith based organizations, I intend to launch the Church and School of the Holy Anus.
We will emphasize the importance of keeping your anus clean and well exercised to prepare for the second coming. We will also emphasize having a close group of friends, like the 12 apostles, to help you with this task. Only the gifts god has given us directly will be employed. Our tongue, fingers, and of course water.
Our goal is to also add a pre-school and independent private school by 2008. Education through humor, comics, cartoons, and deep, internal prayer will be welcomed and encouraged.
To avoid misunderstandings with our holy people (pastors) and our congregation, we will only baptize those of legal adult age in the United States of America. Children will be educated, but will not be allowed to even watch a baptism until they are adults.
Converts from outside religions that do not properly respect the importance of the anus and tongue, nor why god placed it on our bodies, will be allowed to partake in baptisms as soon as the local pastor feels they understand our gospel. Men and women are equally welcome, and can and will hold equal positions within our community. The anus was placed equally on all of god's creatures.
I want to thank Vice President Cheney who has made available faith-based education funds possible through PR President Bush.
If you would like to donate or help me with the legal and government details of founding this church, please leave a comment or email me.
I am eager to establish this true religion before we lose Cheney and bush to impeachment or election. Fortunately, we do now have a more family-oriented Supreme Court to protect us in the many years ahead with the addition of Judge Alito.
A proud member of Shills for Dick in 2008.

File: Investigators believe Peter Madsen "deliberately" sank the vessel shortly before he was rescued.
COPENHAGEN, Denmark - Danish inventor Peter Madsen on Thursday denied murdering Swedish journalist Kim Wall aboard his homemade submarine last year as his highly-anticipated trial opened in Copenhagen.
Madsen, who had previously admitted dismembering Wall&39;s body and throwing her remains overboard, did not address the court but his lawyer Betina Hald Engmark said that he denied the murder charge and maintained his position that Wall died accidentally on board his submarine.
Here are the main events in the gruesome case that has captivated the world:
The interview
Kim Wall, a plucky 30-year-old freelance reporter criss-crossing the globe for unique, quirky stories, boards self-taught engineer Peter Madsen&39;s homemade submarine, the UC3 Nautilus, in a Copenhagen harbour on August 10, 2017, to interview him for a story.
But she never returns. Wall&39;s boyfriend, with whom she had planned to move to China, reports her as missing on August 11.
READ: Unfamiliar sounds heard from last contact with missing submarine
The Nautilus is found that same day, sinking, as Madsen, 47, is rescued from the water.
The eccentric and well-known figure in Denmark tells authorities he dropped Wall off in the harbour the night before and that a technical problem caused the vessel to sink.
But the Danish authorities are not convinced. Madsen is detained for negligent manslaughter under particularly aggravating circumstances on August 12.
Investigators believe the 60-foot (18-metre) vessel was deliberately sunk.
&39;Buried at sea&39;
Madsen changes his story on August 21 and says Wall died in an accident onboard his vessel. Having panicked and contemplated suicide, he subsequently "buried her at sea in an undefined location of the Koge Bay" south of Copenhagen.
Two days later, Copenhagen police confirm that a headless torso found in Koge Bay is Wall&39;s. The head and limbs had been deliberately cut off. The torso had been attached to a metal object to weigh it down.
Madsen is charged with indecent handling of a corpse during a police hearing on August 24. He insists she died in an accident when a hatch hit her on the head while onboard the vessel.
On October 3, investigators say they have found a hard disk in Madsen&39;s workshop that contained fetish films in which women were tortured, decapitated and burned alive. Madsen claims the hard drive is not his.
Prosecutors also reveal autopsy results which show Wall was stabbed 14 times in her genital area and once in the chest before her death.
After an extensive search in Danish waters, Copenhagen police announce on October 7 they have found Wall&39;s head, legs, a sweater and a knife in Koge Bay.
Forensic results show no sign of a fracture on her skull.
&39;Brought a saw&39;
Danish divers find both of Wall&39;s arms on November 21 and 29, respectively, near the same area where her other body parts were discovered.
A January 24 charge sheet says Madsen tied Wall up by the head, arms and legs before beating, "stabbing and cutting her".
An eccentric "inventrepreneur", or a murdering, sexual sadist? The evidence against Peter Madsen has provided some clues about how Swedish journalist Kim Wall died on board his homemade submarine, but he has yet to tell the whole story https://t.co/zV5DQW5snd pic.twitter.com/4Z5OaD35Nj— AFP news agency (@AFP) March 8, 2018
Prosecutors say Madsen, who faces a life sentence if found guilty, "brought a saw, knife, sharpened screwdriver, straps, strips and pipes" on board the vessel with the intention of killing Wall.
Neither the cause of death nor the motive has been established, but investigators believe Wall was strangled or had her throat cut as part of a sadistic sex crime.
Madsen has changed his story several times about how he claims Wall died.

Thinking of starting a business with your hubby or a male business partner? According to a new study by the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the Kauffman Foundation, it might be a better idea to go it on your own. Why the disconnect? Basically, lingering gender inequality in the workplace means that in business partnerships, male partners are often seen as the leader by employees, even if the woman has an equal or more powerful role. Gender roles in the home tend to carry over into business partnerships, especially in the startup stages of a business. To limit problems, researchers found it helpful to create a formal organization chart with clearly defined roles and tasks. Then when an issue comes up, the male and female team know who is in charge of resolving the issue.

Oxford City Council has decided to go ahead with permission for a new Islamic studies centre with a 100ft tower and dome to be built on playing fields belonging to Magdalen College.
The plan had sparked opposition from some academics, who feared it was too large and would dominate the Oxford skyline.
The project, which will take 18 months to complete, has received Pounds 20 million from King Fahd of Saudi Arabia and has been des-igned by an Egyptian architect.

William Shakespeare's
Unit Plan
Spring 1999
The Pennsylvania State University
Amy Helene Johnston and Kevin Center
Disclaimer and apologies
The following web site has been created by two college students at the Pennsylvania State University. We are both Secondary Education majors with English as our area of concentration. We have created this website as part of a required class project. All dates and classroom information is fictional. We have borrowed numerous ideas from other website on the Internet (sited in lessons) and used the following books for activities and other information:
Norie Epstein's book The Friendly Shakespeare: A Thoroughly Painless Guide to the Best of the Barb. (New York: Penguin Books, 1993).
Peggy O'Brien's book Shakespeare Set Free: Teaching Romeo and Juliet, Macbeth, and A Midsummer Night's Dream. New York: Pocket Books, 1993.
Both books are excellent sources for the Shakespeare Classroom!
We hope you enjoy our site, and maybe even find it useful. We would also like to apologize in advanced for offending anyone
The following unit has been developed for an eleventh grade honors English course in a high school that is a suburb of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The school serves a community of predominately white middle class students and the classroom encompasses twelve females and ten males. Our unit plan will cover a wide magnitude of discussions, activities, and universal themes to ensure that the plan may be used in more diverse classrooms and school districts.
William Shakespeare's Macbeth is feasibly the most standard play in the secondary education English curriculum. We have refined the typical reading of Macbeth in English classrooms by exploring topics of point-of-view, gender, class, and cultural appeals within the text, as well as uncommon activities that will broaden students interpretation of the play.
Characteristics, Context, and Rationale
The purpose of this unit is for students to critically analyze and gain an understanding of multiple perspectives of gender, class, and cultural aspects of Macbeth. Shakespeare is noted as a popular literary icon and the play Macbeth is part of the traditional classroom canon. Therefore, our aim is to avoid traditional teaching methods buy incorporating multiple media texts, unique activities, performance, and to infiltrate an abundance of interpretations through the Macbeth on-line website.
Our students will actively participate in classroom discussions, group projects, performances, and individual work in order to demonstrate their acquired knowledge of universal themes, as well as allowing them to create an original point-of-view. There will be several renditions of the play presented in the classroom (visual/audio) so the students will be capable of comparing alternative interpretations and cultural adaptations. Rather than just reading Macbeth, this lesson incorporates a variety of films, audio recordings, and performances, in order to fulfill Shakespeare's original intent, which was for his plays to be see rather than just read.
*Participation: 15%
*Word Journals: 20%
*Rewrite Scene in Modern Language: 20%
*Performance: 30%
*Shakespeare Times: 10%
*Discussion Questions: 5%
Here are our lesson plans for our unit on Macbeth
DAY ONE: Introduction to William Shakespeare
DAY TWO: Introduction to Macbeth
DAY THREE: Act I
DAY FOUR: Act II
DAY FIVE: Act III, Race, class, and gender issues in Macbeth
DAY SIX: Act III, scene iv (The banquet scene)

Abbott pleads: Please sir, I'll be better. Promise.Every smarty pants schoolboy learns eventually that there comes a
reckoning, expulsion threatened, when there is nothing left for it but a
grovelling and a desperate pleading.
"I'll be better. Promise I will," is the time-worn entreaty.
so it was as Tony Abbott faced the music beneath a clouded sky in the
prime ministerial quadrangle soon after being let off with a final
last-chance warning.
Illustration: Ron Tandberg. Photo: rtanberg
"I have listened, I have learned, and I have changed….I accept
that every day I'm being tested. That's the way it is. I am determined
to do better in these tests in the next few months than I have in the
last couple of months," he sweated. No smirk today. No rocking on the
balls of the feet. No swagger.
Abbott, of course, is the Australian Prime Minister: national
headmaster, as it were, and, it turns out, self-confessed recalcitrant
head boy rolled into one.
It was an awkward juxtaposition; as awkward as his confession and his pleading.
He had, of course, avoided expulsion, but knew he was on probation.
problem was that he'd promised to be good before. He'd discovered
barnacles that needed scraping only late last year, vowed that he'd
start the year fresh and clean and new. He'd sworn again and again to be
more consultative and collegiate, only to prance off on his own strange
frolics. Sir Prince Philip, for pity's sake, as grown-up as a wedgie in
the locker room.
A third of his own classmates couldn't stand it
any more. Even without a clear replacement, they wanted to give him the
boot. He was saved only because the prefects felt they had no choice but
to show what passed as solidarity and weren't swept away by the thought
of supporting a lad they'd rejected before.
And there Abbott was,
forced out into the open, looking less a prime minister than a
caught-out adolescent, abashed and calling it chastened. The class clown
magically reformed, confessing and promising to be better. Everyone
would be better, including his dorm mistress, Peta Credlin.
all of us have had to have a good, long hard look at ourselves over the
last few weeks...and all of us are resolved to be different and better
in the future than we have been in the past and that's true at every
level. Me, my cabinet colleagues, my ministerial colleagues, my senior
staff, we are all resolved to be and do better," Abbott babbled.
didn't explain what he and his schoolyard gang had been up to for the
past 17 months. The final report remains to be written.

Warrants were mailed Tuesday to three former Grossmont College student body officers and a former college secretary charging misuse of $30,000 in student funds, the El Cajon police reported.
The fraud division of the San Diego County district attorney's office prepared the letters ordering Michael Raymond Bang, Larry J. Humpal, David Michael Brooks and Peggy Ann Klecha to appear in court Jan. 8. If they fail to comply, warrants with bail set at $25,000 will be issued for their arrest, the El Cajon police said.
All four were charged with one count of grand theft, and Brooks was assigned an additional charge of perjury, said Linda Miller, district attorney spokeswoman. If convicted of grand theft, the four could face three-year state prison terms and $10,000 fines. The perjury charge could tack on another eight months to Brooks' sentence.
The warrants come after a five-month investigation into the misappropriation of funds amounting to more than $30,000 from the Associated Students of Grossmont College.

Course code:
We live in a world of problems … global warming, inequality, discrimination, child labor, slavery, waste, species extinction, domestic violence and a myriad of other issues occupy the headlines, courses and can feel overwhelming at times. Unfortunately, we rarely hear about solutions, let alone have the opportunity to create our own solutions for the issues that concern us and inspire us to action.
Changing the world takes more than a critical eye for what is wrong, proselytizing a good idea, and hope. There are many factors which contribute to creating social change and in this course we explore what it takes to be a successful change maker in our communities, and thus in the world. Reversing the lens we use to approach the problems of the world is part of what a Human Ecologist needs to do to understand our challenges:
"…social entrepreneurs are uniquely suited to make headway on problems that have resisted considerable money and intelligence. Where governments and traditional organizations look at problems from the outside, social entrepreneurs come to understand them intimately, from within."—David Bornstein, How To Change The World
In this experiential, project-based course students will select a specific problem they would like to solve. Students will perform thorough research into a problem of their choosing, understanding it from within by identifying root causes and other exacerbating factors as well as investigating positive deviance and what people around the world are doing to solve this issue. Through these projects and other readings, students will examine a myriad of problems around the world and look at different strategies people are using to tackle them and create positive social change. The final project for the course will be a concrete proposal for solving the problem they selected.
Students will be evaluated based on their performance, participation and the quality of the projects they produce over the course of the term.
Always visit the Registrar's Office for the official course catalog and schedules.
