A Darker Shade of Magic by V. E. Schwab
Published by Tor Books
Genres: Adult, Fantasy
For fans of: Magic, Cutie-pie MCs and their flirty brothers, LONDONS (plural), Cool af coats.
My rating: 3.5 stars out of 5
Kell is one of the last Travelers—rare magicians who choose a parallel universe to visit.
Grey London is dirty, boring, lacks magic, ruled by mad King George. Red London is where life and magic are revered, and the Maresh Dynasty presides over a flourishing empire. White London is ruled by whoever has murdered their way to the throne. People fight to control magic, and the magic fights back, draining the city to its very bones. Once there was Black London—but no one speaks of that now.
Officially, Kell is the Red Traveler, personal ambassador and adopted Prince of Red London, carrying the monthly correspondences between royals of each London. Unofficially, Kell smuggles for those willing to pay for even a glimpse of a world they'll never see. This dangerous hobby sets him up for accidental treason. Fleeing into Grey London, Kell runs afoul of Delilah Bard, a cut-purse with lofty aspirations. She robs him, saves him from a dangerous enemy, then forces him to another world for her 'proper adventure'.
But perilous magic is afoot, and treachery lurks at every turn. To save all of the worlds, Kell and Lila will first need to stay alive—trickier than they hoped.
Look, I just really want Kell's coat
If you take a look at my reading progress of this book on GR, you'll see that I picked up once before last July, and then put it back down after about a chapter. I just wasn't in the mood for a story of this kind at the time, so it made no sense to push through it.
I picked it up again on the 28th of January, got through 40% of it, AND THEN PUT IT ON HOLD. I'm not even kidding. I put it on hold for two weeks, reread the Mediator series, and then came back.
The point I'm trying to make here is that this book is slow. At least, it was for me. I know people who've inhaled the thing. It starts off well enough, and then gradually starts to run low on steam.
I can tell you the exact moment this gained momentum, for me. SPOILER: [The part where the cutthroat wanders into the pleasure house] – 60% into the book. THAT'S when things started getting interesting. I'm not even kidding. From that point on, I couldn't put the book down.
Yes, that slow.
But was this my only issue with the book? Sadly, no.
The writing, for the most part, was unattached. It tried hard, it must be said, to make me connect with the characters emotionally. But the wording constantly came across as detached and, behind-a-wall-ish. You know, like someone was narrating the story from behind the safety of a one-way mirror or something. Like the narrator was, at best, guessing what the characters were feeling and had no personal connection to any of them to be convincing enough.
Sure, I liked Kell. He was a sweetie. He was righteous, honorable and a little bit of a brat. But I don't know much more about him than that. Except that I guess he loves his brother? ???
I liked Rhys too. Not a huge surprise considering the fact that I tend to have a soft spot for flirty little shits. But, like Kell, I don't know much about him. Good prince. Caring prince. A little frustrated by his powerlessness. Sure. But not much else.
Delilah was a little more problematic for me. I love tough heroines. I love heroines that don't have time to moan and swoon over the hot guys they inexplicably get tangled up with. But… it's just… Lila's toughness was very wooden. If that makes sense. I'm sure a lot of people will disagree with me here, but it wasn't even like she was a vulnerable, sensitive girl only pretending to be tough and cold-blooded. That I could have handled, because that would have meant she had layers. But really, her character felt really robotic. Like someone had programmed her toughness into her and she was just following the code.
My favorite kinds of characters are the ones that are so multifaceted that I can connect random things to their personalities. For instance, I can tell you that Kaz Brekker's character is like light rain on cobblestones. Sturdy, dark, slick and glistening. I can tell you that Charley Davidson's personality is like accidental peppermint in coffee.
Can I even try to do the same things with Kell, Delilah et al? Nope.
And if you know me AT ALL, you know that this usually gets me to DNF a book. If I can't connect with the characters, if I can't care about them, I just don't see the point.
So, yeah, this had its problems. But you know what? The story was good. Time-traveling magicians? Good. Plural Londons? Good. Evil villains and a not-so evil henchman? Good. MAGICAL COAT WITH MULTIPLE SIDES? SO. VERY. GOOD.
I enjoyed all of this. I'm not so sure how this could work as a series, since the story felt pretty much done by the end of this book. But the fact that the story picked up towards the end has me intrigued. I will be reading the sequel.

Hi there,
Sometimes the forms are slow loading, I was wondering if this has to do with CDN issue? We are using SSL secure forms and the url in the source is: https://secure.jotformeu.com/jsform/40222332142335". I was wondering if I can change the secure CDN with www? And can this improve loading speed?
- jedcadornaAnswered on October 16, 2014 at 09:17 AM
It could be a temporary server hiccups. Changing the https://secure to http://www will make your Jotform submit unsecure data. The temporary CDN issue could be in jotformEU domain. I just tested your form on my end and the loading time is fine.
This might be the reason why your Jotform is loading slow in Europe CDN region. You can view it from here http://status.maxcdn.com/.

Also, the first part of a story thing.

CA first, will get to the fic in a bit.
Having already read it prior, I'll just repeat. I like the overall product. The use of differing character narratives work, but of course, the weakness is a somewhat disjointed flow. Given that, Seryph manages to pull it off well enough. He's probably lacking the "nice" facade you want him to have though, but that doesn't really affect the character as is.
He's an all around good central figure, quite effective in that role. A return to character-centricity and subtle world building, yay.
Posted 17 May 2013 - 12:51 AM
Dig the fic, I really like how it just ended there. Not sure about Seryph being a prick for the sake of it though. No real reason to reveal he's ripped the guy off. Maybe if you added in a line where as a gentleman, he's obliged to inform Ryan that he's got the short end of the stick? Which is the same reason why he'd have had to acquiesce had Ryan known the true value of the eye.
Otherwise, neat-o. Glad the coffee wasn't poisoned. That woulda been predictable and lame, like a Monty Python skit.
Posted 17 May 2013 - 12:51 AM
But you were obviously referencing Albuquerque.
Posted 17 May 2013 - 07:41 AM
Yeah. I'll change that up tonight to justify his deception.
Posted 17 May 2013 - 09:26 AM
There's the inspiration I was looking for. Okay, I'm jumping in today. Coming right up.

By GEORGE AUSTIN
SOMERSET — When she was eight years old, Meaghan Kay came home from playing with other girls on her softball team who were 12 years old and told her mother she could pitch better than them. Maureen Kay, who knew a thing about softball as a former player for the University of Rhode Island and the first team to win a state championship at Joseph Case High School, was like, "Oh sure" with her daughter. So they went into the back yard where Meaghan threw some pitches to her mother, who used to be a catcher, and Mrs. Kay started thinking to herself that there may be something to what her daughter was telling her.
That was the start of the pitching career that leads Meaghan to today when she is the ace for the Somerset Berkley Regional High School softball team that will start play in the state tournament this week. Meaghan has pitched almost every inning of every game for the Lady Blue Raiders this season and coach Sally Gamache said she has been a model of consistency.
"During a game, I tend to block out everyone and I just focus on what I'm throwing," Meaghan said. "I just concentrate on what pitch is being called for that count. Sometimes, I don't even hear my coach, because I zone out."
Before the Bishop Stang game on Sunday, Meaghan had pitched 123 innings with a 1.25 earned run average with 112 strikeouts and just 18 walks. She had faced 506 batters, giving up 99 hits. Somerset Berkley Regional High School softball coach Sally Gamache said Meaghan is very focused and expects a lot out of herself.
"She works hard," Gamache said. "She pitched at this level as a freshman. This is her fourth year of pitching at the varsity level."
Gamache said Meaghan has an experienced defense behind her. With their support, she said pressure can be taken off her so she doesn't feel she has to do it all herself. Gamache said if a ball goes into play, there is support behind her to get the play made.
Meaghan has learned a lot about pitching from her mother, who played softball for Case, and her father, Billy Kay, who was a pitcher for the Somerset High School baseball team.
"Even though they're two very different styles of pitching, he taught me when I'm up in the count, not to throw the ball right over the plate and to work the count," Meaghan said of how her father used his experience in baseball to help her with her pitching in softball.
Meaghan said she started playing softball at five or six years old and joined travel teams at eight years old that she has played on up until this day when she is a senior at the high school.
"Basically, the whole summer is dedicated to softball," Meaghan said. "I like to put in as much time in the off season as I can. And I quit basketball and soccer to focus on softball."
Meaghan said softball forces her to be organized and she likes that aspect of the sport because it carries over into her also doing well in school. Depending on what college she goes to, she said she wants to major in either the health sciences or pre medicine.
Meaghan is undecided on where she is going to college, but said she definitely wants to play softball at the school she attends. She has been in touch with Pace University in New York and Emmanuel College in Boston about playing at those schools, but said if it does not work out with one of those schools, she said she may go to Quinnipiac University in Connecticut and walk on to try out for the softball team. She said she would like to pitch in college, but would also be open to being a positional player since she enjoys hitting so much. She has been a key contributor to the Somerset Berkley offense with a .493 batting average and 13 runs batted in before the Bishop Stang game on Sunday. She said she likes to be able to help out her team in both areas.
"My goal is to get into tip top shape," Meaghan said. "I'd like to see some playing time my freshman year, but if not, just work hard until I get a starting position."
But she is getting ready for the state tournament that the Lady Blue Raiders will start playing in this week.
"I believe we can go far because most of the seniors have been together since my freshman year," Meaghan said. "We play on travel teams together. We work well together as a group, so we have a lot of potential. We're also friends outside of softball."
Mrs. Kay has coached her daughter in softball since she was 10 years old and until last season, was calling all her pitches for her. Meaghan developed a fast ball and curve ball when she was younger. At 13 years old, she started working a lot with a screwball and a curve ball. She puts a lot of rotation on the ball with her pitches. Meaghan has had as many as 18 strikeouts in a game for one of the teams she has played on.
"She's more of a finesse pitcher than an overpowering pitcher," Mrs. Kay said. "She has the riser, the curve ball. She hasn't really thrown any fast balls this year."
Meaghan worked with a pitching coach until he moved out of the area and then pitching coach Mo Jackson took her on and her mother says Jackson really turned her daughter's pitching around. She said Meaghan's pitching was all over the place in that first season with the team for 12-year-old girls, but said there was a big difference in the second year.
Mrs. Kay said softball has been a nice family activity for the Kays.
"It was a lot of fun," Mrs. Kay said. "My parents never really played a lot of sports."
Maureen was a junior on the Case team that won a state softball championship in 1981, which was the school's first state title in any sport at the time. Mrs. Kay said that when her daughter's team plays Case, she wants all of the players on both teams to play their best.
"But I definitely want my daughter to come out on top," Mrs. Kay said.
Meaghan's father also was on the 1979 state championship baseball team at Somerset High School and played baseball at Southeastern Massachusetts University, so she comes from a family of winners. Mrs. Kay also played volleyball at Case and at URI.
"I think she's had a very good career," Mr. Kay said. "One of the biggest things with her is she never quits, she never gives up and she never turns on a teammate if they make an error."
Mr. Kay said it is like his daughter has ice water in her veins when she is pitching. He said the bases may be loaded, but spectators would not even know it the way his daughter is pitching to the batter at the plate.
Mr. Kay, who is a golf pro, said Meaghan is a smart pitcher who usually gets ahead in the count, which he thinks is the key to her success. He said she has good control of her pitches. He said his wife has coached her since she was a young girl while he has been a fan at the games. Mr. Kay said his daughter wants to win, but it is not her whole life. If her team loses, he said she just looks forward to the next game.
"I enjoy going to the games and watching her pitch," Mr. Kay said.

He went on to study at the Union Theological Seminary in New York, subsequently earning a master's degree at Columbia University and a doctorate at Duke University. During his long and varied career as an educator, he has also written music for film soundtracks and church services, and performed in support of the Temptations, the Coasters, the Pointer Sisters, and other acts. Ariel's Way is his first musical.

Electrochemical Sensor Product Design
The discovery stage of a project with Conductive Technologies (CTI) begins with these simple steps:
- Review customer's drawings with all critical dimensions
- Begin Development*
- If the product is to be provided as an intermediate, a layout or list of layout constraints is required
- If labile reagents are needed, customer must provide handling and final performance specifications
*During early development, it is feasible to have several sensor designs printed on the same sheet. This affords our customers the opportunity to evaluate several designs during initial testing and to help identify good candidate designs for further development.
Conductive Technologies is capable of delivering the following print tolerances:
|Print or Print (edge guided)
|± 0.010″
|(± 0.25 mm)
|Print to Print (automated)

From Patient to Caretaker:
A little over a year ago I was wearing the gait belt while my physical therapist and my lover taught me how to stand and walk again. Today I held it.
Today was my first day officially working as a caretaker. Granted, it was only for one hour of my morning, but considering the circumstances, it was a pretty huge triumph. The tasks were simple, walk with my new friend, take out some trash, open some boxes of bacon, put away a pan in a low drawer, water some plants, set them in the sun, and chat…Intriguing, entertaining conversation is a must.
Since it was our first day alone together, my friend added a disclaimer after a few minutes of our walk down the street, "You can talk if you want to, just know that I'm not listening, so I'm not going to answer you. I'm just concentrating too much on walking."
I chuckled and nodded. I hadn't been talking because I already knew how much focus it takes to walk when it's no longer natural and pain-free, as well as how exhilarating it feels to take a short walk with a walker in the sun.
It was a surreal feeling, not wearing the gait belt nor using the walker, but holding onto it like my lover did for me for so long. The sun was high in the sky and felt warm and soothing on my skin. The walk was slow. It was short. It was a victory. It was so reminiscent of my time in the hospital, but completely different.
After our walk, my friend expressed her satisfaction with the fact that she was deteriorating in her older age, since she doesn't have to deal with it too long. She said, "I'm glad this didn't happen to me when I was younger, because then I'd have to live with it for a long time."
I've been thinking about my recovery throughout most of today.
I'm pretty sure being in a diaper behind a walker at 29 constitutes younger.
I searched myself for how I truly feel about life in this state. This is what I found:
I'm less concerned with being upset that I have to live with neurological issues, nerve damage, a malfunctioning colon, bladder, chronic pain, and nightly spasms for the duration of my recovery, however long that may last, than stoked that I'm simply alive, connected with myself, the Earth, and my soulmate in Magical Moab.
Thought you'd be interested in knowing. 🙂
Live, laugh, love, dance, recover.
Tomorrow's not guaranteed, so live like you believe it!

Pancake Day
This half term, we were very lucky to start back at forest school on pancake day!
The rain meant we couldn't have a campfire so 3LE made mud pancakes instead!
We even had our own Mary Berry and Paul Hollywood to judge the best.
Photos to follow!
The sunshine shone on Wednesday so 6NA had the real thing! Sous chef Seb poured the mix and provided the whole class with pancakes. "This is delicious" was one of the many comments. Well done Seb!
What word would you use to describe your pancake?
2 comments:
I loved those delicious pancakes/ loved helping Ms Hughes as well

It was the classiest circus performance I've ever seen.
Cirque Musica, a group that mixes acrobatics, magic and other acts with classical repertoire, brought its "Crescendo" program to the Holland Center on Saturday night to perform with the Omaha Symphony. The result was an evening of stirring orchestral favorites paired with the gutsy moves of 10 talented, athletic performers.

The Air Force Historical Foundation, along with US Air Force Chief of Staff David L. Goldfein, presented its Major General I. B. Holley Award in ceremonies at the Ft. Myer Officers Club, Arlington, VA, Thursday, January 5.
The Major General I. B. Holley Award, honoring an individual for his or her sustained, significant contribution to the documentation of Air Force history during a lifetime of service, was presented to Dr. Mark Clodfelter, professor National Security Strategy National War College.
Dr. Clodfelter joined the National War College in July 1997. He is a former Air Force officer who was a ground radar officer by specialization. After serving radar tours at Myrtle Beach and South Korea, he spent the remainder of his career in military academia. That service has included two teaching tours in the Air Force Academy's History Department, one at the Air Force's School of Advanced Air and Space Studies (SAASS) at Maxwell AFB, and one as Air Force ROTC Professor of Aerospace Studies at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He holds a BS from the US Air Force Academy, an MA from the University of Nebraska-Lincoln, and a Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. He is the author of The Limits of Air Power: The American Bombing of North Vietnam (Free Press, 1989), Beneficial Bombing: The Progressive Foundations of American Air Power, 1917-1945 (University of Nebraska Press, 2010) and numerous articles and book chapters dealing with the American military experience. His area of expertise is American military history, with a special emphasis on air power and the Vietnam War.

666 ~ The 1290 and 1335 Days of Daniel 12 ~ 666,
presented by Charles H. Clever
The 1290 and 1335 day prophecies of Daniel
12 reveal significant events. The 1290 days symbolically point to the mission
of Jesus, the suffering Messiah who abolished the sacrificial system. It
also identifies the Abomination of Desolation. The 1335 days reveal the
end of the controversy between good and evil and the reward of the saints.
God chose to seal these prophecies until the "end of the days" because they contain significant truths essential for God's people to escape last day deceptions. This is explained more fully in The Wise Shall Understand, written specifically to expose Satan's greatest end-of-time delusions.
This Internet publication is accessed fully by linking to Charles and Tish Clever's Homepage. In addition to the five chapters which cover such topics as the mysterious number 666, the 1260, 1290, 1335 and 2300 day prophecies, Daniel 12 reveals the identity of the Abomination of Desolation or Antichrist power, events occurring when Jesus arrives, the millennium, and much much, more.

Edit: Apparently the spash damage is smart so it doesn't break CC? That's what I was told. I've played a lot of games with it since then and I don't notice any CC breaking really.

Try to get a combination of Warrior, DK, Rogue, Retri. These combined requires almost no synergy except targeting the same enemy player. You can also get hunter mixed in there but landing traps might be hard(lol).

1. Playing against rogues: If you know you will get the cheap shop/stun from invis in the next few sec and you know you will eventually die. Activate Barskin and jump left and right (going for a pillar where you can los the rogue). While you jumping the rogue is opening with cheap shop and is instantly rooted, you are a bit away cause of the jump -> rogue is in root, cannot attack you
2.Playing against priests: after you activate roar (speed buff ) for you m8 (only use it if your m8 needs it) you should directly run to the priest. he will see that you have the speed buff, so he thinks you want to stun him. he might use now his stealth or speed buff, but actually you just faked him at all. try to combine this with you cd on stun. just wait until your stun is ALMOST ready, otherwise players on a good rating wont use antyhing because they know, your stun isnt up. after the priest used his invis/speed buff you can do what you want with him.
you can also go for the barskin glyph which grants you immunite for silence. stand close to the priest (not to close, he shouldnt be able to fear you) and cast cyclone. he wants to use silence and mostly doesnt think about the barskin glyph, most of the druids are running with the 25% crit. you should time this with your m8, so that you are not getting an interrupte/stun whatever.
3.Safe your medaillon: what i recognized is, if you use your medaillon directly at the beginning, you might die in treeform. at this point, your medaillon is useless aswell the tree: you are useless.
im always try to stand behind a pillar at the beginning, hotting myself up and waiting for the stun/charge. directly use barskin and try to get bear form before you get stunned. you can just chill now and directly pop tree (if its necessary) after their stun rotation. they often wait for the burst, because they want to burst while you dont have your medaillon up (this is the point here). so, you used your tree, but you still have your medaillon up -> you will survive the next cc chain on you and your m8 are not going to die.
for sure, your tree is OUT but you still have hotf which is in my opinion actually stronger then NV, its your only healbuff! (35%!!!)
i have no clue how this works with other combs, but im playing TreeSG so i can survive quite long, much longer then the most other druids (because they just die in a 5 sec stun after 1min fight).
4.just wait in box: well, this is actually so stupid but if you fight against rogues/ferals you can just wait in the box, one of your m8 is protecting you, the other one is looking for the feral/rogue near to the box.
if they are out, they want directly to jump into your box -> instant root -> blink -> warri and dk are destroying and you might can get a stun/cyclone on the healer.
hope something was helpfull, just remember: you can do mostly everything with the druid, you just have to think about how!

Helm is haste mastery in-game. I think you couldn't find it.
Also going to add the BiS set soon.
I'm seeing this issue too. All profiles show Haste/Master but mine is showing Mastery/Multistrike... Is it different for Horde characters or something?

I'm not a "foodie" but am interested in food. I grow much of my own food and use the gardening principles best described as "mineral augmented organics." Proponents of this method like Steve Solomon (The Intelligent Gardener), Michael Astera (The Ideal Soil) and Gary Kline of Black Lake Organics in Olympia, Washington argue that we have to go a step beyond the organic method which urges the use of compose, biological additions and cover crops and add minerals as dictated by an annual, or more often, soil test.
So, I am naturally predisposed in favor of the farm to table movement which Dan Barber gets credit for starting. Barber was featured in the recent Netflix original series called, "Chef's Table." In that he seemed quite obsessed with finding the best tasting food and delivering it to the table of his very upscale restaurant to diners who have paid a small fortune to taste his creations. One complaint that reviewers have of his book is that it has an arrogant, top down view where the big time rock star chef as a conductor directing farmers to grow certain foods and training the customer to try new things.
Farm to table is a concept I endorse and kudos to Mr. Barber for the progress he has encouraged through his farm, restaurant and book. I listened to the audio version with Barber reading and I made it to the end. He had lots of interesting food adventures. It's great when you are an important and wealthy enough chef to fly off to Spain multiple times to research foie gras and the best ham in the world. And this is where I get confused by the idea of a third plate which, apparently, includes humanely raised foie gras and ham from pigs who fatten by foraging on acorns in a particularly fertile area of Spain. I've never eaten foie gras. Most of us haven't. I just wonder of the third plate might make more sense if it included foods that are more accessible to the average eater.
However, if you want to take a tour of high end food, high end millers, cutting edge farmers and top of the line plant breeders (including a lot about Steve Jones who runs the WSU research facility in Mt. Vernon) there is much of interest to read about in The Third Plate.
We live in a small community that boasts a James Beard Award winner and our roads are full of cars heading to a destination where their dinner experience with wine will cost $250 per plate. The Netflix Chef's Table series feature six chefs (some quite weird and eccentric) who create tastes that make foodies willing to pay big bucks. I suppose the foodie thing has its place but, personally, I'd prefer an affordable meal at a farmer's market food stall or from a good food truck. (My kind of food show is "Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives.")
In reality, I hope the ultimate "third plate" will include food from everyone's personal garden and from local farmers. Essentially, if you take out the fancy ham, the goose liver and a few other esoteric delights that seems to be Chef Barber's goal as well.
Taste, rather than nutrition is the goal Barber is chasing. There has to be some correlation between taste and nutrition but there is little if no discussion of nutrient value. Perhaps the goal of superior nutritious food will come with The Fourth Plate.

At: Twitter HQ - 1355 Market St. San Francisco
While SF Mayor Ed Lee and the corporate controlled politicians give multi-million dollar subsidies to corporations like Twitter, Ellison and other tech companies, he and the BART Board of Directors are telling BART workers they have to take pay cuts and austerity. They have brought in Thomas P. Hock from Veolia Transportation at $400,000 to help bust the unions as he has done throughout the US and his company has done around the world. They also impose apartheid bus routes in the West Bank for big profits.
Its time to make the corporations, millionaires and billionaires in San Francisco pay for public transit and public services. We demand an end to the tax subsidies for Twitter, the corporations and developers in downtown San Francisco. We demand a transit tax to fund BART, MUNI and to lower the fare for working people and the poor and paid for by these twitter and vulture capitalist speculators. The Hearst owned SF Chronicle wants anti-strike legislation while making tens of millions on property speculation while driving working people and the poor out of San Francisco. Its time to let the Twittery know enough is enough!

123I-IMP-SPECT brain imaging was performed in patients with classic migraine (n = 5) and migraine accompagnée (n = 18) during the headache-free interval. A regional reduction of tracer uptake into brain was observed in all patients with migraine accompagnée, while in patients with classic migraine only one case showed an area of decreased activity. The most marked alteration was found in a patient with persisting neurological symptoms ("complicated migraine"). In most cases the areas of decreased tracer uptake corresponded to headache localization as well as to topography of neurologic symptoms during migraine attacks. It may be concluded that migraine attacks occur in connection with exacerbations of preexisting changes of cerebral autoregulation due to endogenous or exogenous factors.

A Top Notch Work of Art
Gerhard Daum is an artist that is inspired by his surroundings. The idea is to put yourself in the right place to find that inspiration. I think Gerhard did just that when he recorded his album Rural Renewal. The cover story is staring at you on the front of the CD. It does not take long to see where the man derives the impetus to pick up a guitar and create music.
That is the first part of the story, the second is to focus on the various sounds of the guitar. He does so beautifully on the twelve tracks afforded the listener. As he indicates in the CD liner notes, each track tells a story. He is very good at that and his expertise has been used in the motion picture industry for soundtracks as well. In fact, he is an award-winning film composer. He also adds multi-instrumentalist to that resume.
I would not hesitate for a second to describe the movement and consistency of this recording. It is excellent from start to finish with no apparent weaknesses. I do appreciate instrumental music in general and particularly guitar oriented compositions. It was an easy sell for me but that does not give an album a free pass. It has to be excellent for me to really appreciate it. I am here to tell you that Rural Renewal is superb.
The gentle guitar sweeps that you hear throughout this album are quite inviting and relaxing. There are some other elements mixed in to give it all some layers and color including the violin and dobro. Those are factors that support the delicate yet stimulating guitar work being presented.
I found the title track stunning and picturesque. It was the kind of track the perks up the senses. Actually, every composition had a value and a distinctness all its own. I am sure that is why it was over so quickly. It is the kind of music that has you saying once its over "That's all? I don't want it to end." And that my music listening friend are the keys to the kingdom as far as I am concerned.
When a listener, any listener, takes in a complete recording and enjoys it that much it normally fly's right by. It is kind of like a job you really enjoy and before you know it the day is over. If you are fortunate to be listening to music like this or have a job where the days just disappear in the flash, well consider yourself blessed.
Gerhard Daum is a very special talent that deserves all the credit for creating a top notch instrumental guitar album.

Super Torso work-out in half-time
Subsequently tries these half-hour if you'd like to really have a solid torso chest workouts twice per week. These exercises aren't simply for beginners but seasoned amount contractors can perform these too. Within few months you may accomplish your ambitions.
Body By Jake Tower 200 Chest Exercises
This article includes a few of the workouts out of the 5 workouts for chest exercise that is comprehensive, that has been outlined by the great bodybuilders on the planet. The exercises are – Slope bench press, Flat bench press and Smooth dumbbells travel.
Just before detailing the exercises; it is for you personally regarding something which is fairly critical an advice. Originally get yourself a good warm up and pullover with no limit of representatives and it is advised for you yourself to conduct two pieces of each push-up.
Subsequently, there might be a problem that how quite there are a few weights required for your abovementioned three exercises?
Employ weights which are relaxed and match your requirements. It's said to concentrate more throughout each repetition on movement and your form.
The response is truly simple and effortless, weights matters for nothing; it's management and your type about the exercise which gives the most results.
A Great Chest Exercise -Incline Dumbbell Presses
Keep hitting to a bigger position until you can't-get more than 5 distributors, or until you are both not open to upright. This workout should be done with every chest workout since it strikes on every part of the top of torso.
Change the table to about levels above the smooth environment. Pick a fat that you can press situations. Press the counter up another larger direction setting. With the same fat, try and do associates. Press up the seat to a higher angle and try and get repetitions.
Flat Bench press
Perform six pieces of this workout. Neglect about checking associates, attempt to conduct optimum reps per set. You'll be able to carry this exercise with barbell or dumbbells out. This exercise targets total torso.
This is actually the vital physical exercise in chest improvement. Some people state that this activity may be all workouts in chest development's grandma.
Incline Bench press
This exercise targets upper torso percentage. Our chest is split into portions, top, center and lower section. Control your bench about 30-45 degree position.
Conduct six pieces of the workout. Neglect about checking representatives, attempt to carry maximum reps per collection out. You will be able to carry this exercise with dumbbells or barbell out.
Just forget about checking representatives; try to execute most reps per set. In case you are unknown with the technique to try this exercise, take the aid of your own personal trainer.
This will be the ultimate workout in chest exercise. You could possibly simply conduct this exercise. Perform pieces of the workout.
Powerful one
If you would like to return up using a great chest workout, it is not unimportant to determine your aims. In this essay, it is aimed together with the aim of developing a chest across the outlines of just what a Calvin Klein Style might have for the chest workouts.
If you are strictly after bench-pressing power, you then could certainly want to work with an unique chest workout. Some toughness will be developed by this torso workout, however it is not the workout's key target.
What Should a "Macho Chest" Appear To Be?
A masculine torso must have an angular and rectangular check out it, not just a look that is completed and soft to it. The essential benchpress is focused on by the original chest workout. As the bench-press is excellent in developing electricity and measurement, it can create the low part of the torso too much.
A chest exercise aimed round the bench press advances the low pecs so much they can begin to seem like chests.
The the main chest that is underdeveloped in most males may be the upper chest. In case your chest workout centers around top of the chest and not so much to the center to lessen area of the chest, you then will develop pecs that are square-looking.
Just how to Construct the Top Of Pecs?
In order to submit the top of pecs, you must include a number of slope important motions within your chest workout. You need to make sure your chest regime starts with an incline push of some kind.
It's recommended starting your chest workout. Should you develop this section of your chest, you will get that "brand" up the middle of your chest entirely to your collar bone.

One of the many reason's lawyers have such incredibly low career satisfaction, and one reason I don't want to go Big Law: The Truth About the Billable Hour

The Pitfalls of Big Law
One of the many reason's lawyers have such incredibly low career satisfaction, and one reason I don't want to go Big Law: The Truth About the Billable Hour
Uncle Dave!
My sister just enformed me that she starting a brood. In nine months, I will be Uncle Dave! Kristyna and I are considering spawning ourselves, but I don't know if I could handle work, school and fatherhood. Although, as they say, if everyone waited until they were 100% ready to be parents, no one would ever breed.
Why I don't want to be a law professor.
Guest Post
I wrote a Guest Post today for Evan over at Notes from the (Legal) Underground. It was in response to this post from last week by Prof. Childs.
Go on over and check them out, if you are so inclined.
A Minor Criticism
I realize that I am not at a "Tier One" school where the focus is academic research. However, my school aggressively touted their legal writing program as a selling point and I bought it.
But now that I've been through a semester of it and I'm deep into the first assignment of the second semester. It's become clear: this is not about writing; it's about job training.
I don't actually have a problem with that. But I do wish it had been billed that way. I understand the need to teach us how to structure memorandum, complaints, motions, memorandum in support of motions, briefs, etc. But the bulk of our time is spent going over rote procedural points that could, I think, easily been gleaned out of a text book or by example.
We don't spend any time in class analyzing our thought processes, our word choice, the logical structure of our arguments. That's sloughed off with the "Neumann Paradigm" which is to be committed to memory, and serve as the boiler plate for all of our writing moving forward. Fine. That's all fine. It's just a let-down.
But the kicker, the thing that actually bothers me is the constant, "the first assignment you'll get when you join a firm." Or, "this is how the partner you're working for is going to want this." Or, "the first few years at your firm are going to be spent doing this."
God forbid any of us should want to start a solo practice. Or work for the state.
Or go into public service. Or consult. Or any number of things we could accomplish with our training.
This assumption that we're all automatons gearing up to practice BIGLAW, go the traditional wage slave, er, associate route is *so* 1950. I know law is slow to change, but really, this is 2005. There are probably as many different reasons for being here as there are students. And a significant portion of us probably don't want to practice BIGLAW. So fine, teach the course like we're all going to end up the Anonymous Lawyer, but c'mon throw the rest of us a bone every now and then with an assignment that might actually pique our interest. And stop ramming the, "this is the way it will be" down our throat.

I am still lusting a Mac Mini, but the iPod Shuffle struck me as kinda lame and a bad deal when it was announced, and now, check this out:
Cheaper, about the same size, and more features… including a screen!
The Mac Mini is cool.. the iPod Shuffle is, well, diluting a really great brand (the iPod).
Attention, K-Mart Shoppers
Energy Spatula posted about her worst job experience, and in the spirit of sharing, I thought I would pass along mine…
The first "real job" I ever had was at Wendy's, which all in all, could have been a lot worse. There were times when it was actually fun, since nearly everyone else was a goofy teenager and most of the managers were desperately trying to reclaim their goofy teenage years. But after a while, leaving work every night smelling like grease does get to you, even when you're 16, and so I decided to leave for greener pastures.
I'd secured a job at K-Mart, in the shoe department of all places. Now, this was before the days of financial ruin for K-Mart, pre-Wal-Mart, but K-Mart was still a second-tier retailer in the seedier part of town. Our store was near the mall, but it wasn't part of it. And this was also in the day of the infamous "Blue Light Special".
I cannot possibly impart to you the horrors that are the shoe department of a grungy K-Mart. You have no idea. The best thing that one could say about it was that at least, unlike a regular shoe store, we didn't have to wait on customers.
Still, on occasion, someone would ask us to measure their shoe size. We had those metal feet measuring devices, I have no idea what they were called, but you know the ones. Usually it was to measure some squirming kid's foot, because their mother didn't know the size, kids growing as fast as they do.
Sometimes it was an octogenarian who simply couldn't remember. But on an unsettling number of occasions, it was a perv who obviously either enjoyed having someone have to touch their feet, or inflicting life altering embarrassment for a teenage wage slave. It never really bothered me, but there were a couple of females in the department I felt really sorry for.
Most of the time, the job consisted of stocking and straightening. You would walk up and down the isles of knock-off Nikes, and counterfeit Converse and see what you were running low on. None of the shoes were brand-names, but they were all designed to look slightly similar to brand names. This lead to questions from customers all the time, such as, "You got dem nicky shoes?"
"Um, no."
"What about dem?" (Pointing to a generic pair of blue running shoes.)
"Well, those aren't Nikes, but they are sneakers."
I have no idea who actually made the shoes, but they all came in boxes from Comdisco, with a whole lot of Chinese writing. Except the work boots. Those had big American flags on the side and said, "Made in America," right above all the Chinese writing.
You'd unpack the shoes, stack the shoe boxes-at least the boxes of those shoes that came in boxes. Most of them came in plastic baggies, which you would throw into a bin. When you'd walk the rows of footwear out on the floor and encountered a hole, you'd go back to the stock room, grab a pair or three of the appropriate model, and fill the whole. Ad nauseum. You'd be amazed at what a mess people can make of a shoe department. Straightening out the department was the majority of a nights work.
You'd also be surprised at how often people used the shelves as a garbage bin. We'd find all kinds of crap on the shelves where shoes were supposed to be. Other products people decided they didn't want, but didn't feel like returning to the department where they belonged, empty packages of toys that likely found their way into a pocket or purse, food containers from the cafeteria.
And once, the most disgusting thing: a used baby diaper.
The most common thing we'd find among the shoes, however, was shoes. Used shoes. Nappy, smelly, disgusting shoes. Shoes that should have been replaced several months before, now snug in a new shoe box, or nestled among the new imitation Chinese sneakers. It seems, since the department was unmanned, that people felt they could just slip off the old gross shoes, into a shiny new pair and walk out. They were, in general, right. We hardly ever caught shoplifters. Mostly because we were overworked an understaffed. And because they employed high school kids like me who just didn't give a shit.
We had a two-way mirror on the second floor of the stock room where security would sometimes sit and watch for "shrinkage". But most of the time it was empty. I used to sit at the mirror sometimes on my break, eating my lunch. I'd see people steal all kinds of stuff, and I never reported any of it. I had a boss who was a real, well, bitch. She never cut a single employee any slack, so in my addled teenage mind, I figured I was on my break. If I wasn't punched in on the clock, I wasn't reporting shit.
Running the "Blue Light Special" was actually the best part of the job. The "Blue Light" would rotate from department to department, so everyone got a taste of the action. Being the shoe department, our specials usually consisted of bright pink flip-flops, or tubs full of jellies. But man, you would get on the loud-speaker and announce, "Attention K-Mart Shoppers!" and you felt like a god.
All over the store old ladies would stop, perk their ears and then submit to your siren call. Standing there by that flashing blue light, handset in hand, you could have commanded them to follow you into battle, if they had a chance of saving 35% on not-quite-brand-name footwear.
In the end, it was my "manager" that pushed me over the edge. All in all, I was quite a responsible employee, but I'd gone through a round of illness. She must have thought I'd just been calling in to go party or something, because she'd written me up for "missed shifts" twice, and the "third time is a charm".
Anyway, I actually was sick, and so I called in again. She didn't believe me. She told me I could either come in and work my scheduled shift, or find a different job. So I came in. And I was ill. Man, I felt bad. I was sweating and dizzy, and just about anyone could see I wasn't well. What did she say? "See, I knew you were feeling well enough to work."
About halfway through my shift, I puked. I was in the back room, and I had been unpacking shoes, so I grabbed a shoe box, and puked all over a pair of new steel toed boots. I closed the lid, walked downstairs and set the box in front of her on the desk. She said, "What's this?"
"I quit."
Fluke or Fate?
Well, it's in… the last grade for my first semester as a 1L! And, as luck would have it, it's much higher than the first grade I received. Which is very ironic… I felt so confident and prepared for my criminal exam, and I get an unexpectedly lousy grade. Then I feel completely unprepared and and daunted by torts, and viola… a respectable grade?!
I suppose I should have been able to surmise that outcome by the way I felt after each exam. Over confident? Flubbed it. Freaked out? Did well.
Go figure.
At least the criminal professor is letting us review the exams and having a review session, so I can see what I did "wrong" for his exam.
My Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
Since Prof. Yin posted his Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, I figured I would post mine…
My friend Carla was a producer for Pretty Dead Girl…
…which starred Christian Campbell, who is Neve Campbell's older brother (and also in Reefer Madness with her) …
…Neve Campbell was in Wild Things with Kevin Bacon!
Grades: Part Deux
Well, I got another one, and thankfully, this one is an order of magnitude better than the first. It's almost exactly what I thought I would get, and felt I deserved for the course. It was in legal writing, a course which alternately I loved and drove me bonkers.
That leaves just Torts outstanding… which is both good and bad. I didn't feel as confident going into torts as I did going into Criminal. The exam itself also felt much more difficult. So either I really f'd it up, or I'll do better in torts, making my criminal grade, well, criminal. 🙂
Only time will tell… It'll probably be another week at least until I get my final grade. Sheesh.

here. It wasn't terribly difficult to do, but you do have to pay attention and count your stitches well.
Those who have visited my other blog, Crafty Corral, in the past, know about the Knit Your Bit campaign to make scarves for veterans all across the country. This is headed up by the folks at the National WWII Museum in New Orleans, right in my backyard. :-) Not literally, but you get the idea. This is the 5th year of the program and it's going strong. Each year a new pattern has been offered to knitters and crocheters. The new pattern will be out very soon. Keep on the lookout. It's a good one!
Although they encourage you to use their pattern, scarves are happily accepted with any appropriate pattern - something a veteran, particularly a man as most are male, would enjoy. If in doubt, read the FAQ or e-mail Lauren.
In other news, I saw this interesting looking scarf by Coats and Clark. There is a video showing how to make this Cosmic Loopy scarf using their yarn called Cosmic Yarn, which has both thick and thin sections. You use the thin sections to make the scarf and the thick sections make the loops. Here is the video.
See? A little tricky, but only uses single crochet stitches.
I haven't tried that one, but I do have another scarf done. Here's a photo of it. I used Red Heart Soft off white yarn. Very nice yarn though I usually shy away from Red Heart. The RHSS is so rough but this one is not. It reminded me, in fact, of the bamboo yarn I used some time back. Finished size was 5 3/4" x 63 1/2". I did not border this scarf because I found I was pleased with the way it came out without it. It will be headed to Knit Your Bit.
That's all for now.
Happy crocheting!
