Innovation and Entrepreneurship Panel Entrepreneurs are individuals who found and operate small business while assuming all risks and rewards of the venture. They are also considered to be innovators who generate new ideas and strategies to develop their startups. Years ago, new ventures were mostly focused on the technical industries, such as Robotics and AI. However, the industry's focus has being shifting out of this barrier in recent years, which largely increased the amount of startups. Running a startup isn't an easy task. There are numerous risks and obstacles along the way. Therefore the CMU Summit on US - China Innovation and Entrepreneurship decides to host the IE Panel for the purpose of bringing together successful startup leaders, major venture capitalists, and young entrepreneurs to share their experience as well as insights toward the entrepreneurial industry. We look forward to connect investors and entrepreneurs from both the United States and China.

The fifty-third annual National Championship Air Races kicked off Sept. 14 at Reno/Stead Airport in northern Nevada. The races continue through the weekend, concluding with the Unlimited Gold championship Sept. 18.
Racing begins daily at 8 a.m. with Biplane and Formula One class competitions. Later in the day, the remaining four race classes compete, and the audience also enjoys aerobatic performances. This year's airshow schedule includes the U.S. Navy Blue Angels Flight Demonstration Team, as well as Lucas Oil Aerobatics, Jim Peitz Aerosports, and other performers. Unlimited Class races are scheduled during the afternoon.
This year's event, which could see attendance of 175,000, also will feature micro-drone racing, according to the Reno Gazette-Journal. Advance ticket sales were tracking 10 percent ahead of last year's, the newspaper reported. A complete schedule is available on the National Championship Air Races website.
"We are beyond excited to have hosted a record number of planes and participants at this year's Pylon Racing Seminar," said Mike Crowell, president and CEO of the Reno Air Racing Association. "Not only is PRS an opportunity for new pilots to get a feel for the course and understand safety guidelines, it is also a chance for returning pilots to train for September."
The association has sponsored the seminar as a unique and productive opportunity for race pilots to prepare, practice, and become certified to race in the National Championship Air Races each September. The Reno Air Racing Association, along with the individual race class organizations, opens the event to all pilots. Participation is mandatory for air racing rookies. The seminar offers race practice time, education, and training that allows pilots to race with maximum competitiveness and safety during the September races.
In a major change from previous years, STIHL signed on as the presenting sponsor for the 2016 and 2017 races. Longtime presenting sponsor Breitling did not renew this year.
"STIHL partnered with us last year as a gold sponsor of the NBC Sports show and we are thrilled that they have decided to come on board in such a big way as the presenting sponsor of the 53rd and 54th National Championship Air Races," Crowell said. "Organizing and putting on the air races is a tremendous undertaking each year and we are very glad to partner with STIHL to bring this year's event to our fans."
STIHL, a major supplier of gasoline-powered handheld outdoor power equipment, learned about the air races from one of its employees—who happened to be a racing pilot.
"We were first introduced to the National Championship Air Races by our employee Andrew Findlay, who races in the Experimental class," said Roger Phelps, STIHL's corporate communications manager. "We were so impressed with the event, and the popularity that the pilot NBC Sports program enjoyed, that it was an obvious choice for us to grow our support. We are proud to be a part of bringing this unique and exciting event to fans around the world."
Additional information about the air races, including ticket availability, can be found online.

LEE BRADBURY praised a superb performance from the Hawks as they thrashed Whitehawk 4-0 at Westleigh Park.
The manager was very satisfied to take six points out of six over the bank holiday weekend.
Jason Prior scored twice, with Alfie Rutherford and George Barker also on target.
Bradbury made some changes to his side for the bank holiday Monday clash and all the players who came in showed their good quality.
He said: 'This was one of our strongest performances for some time and very pleasing.
'We made some brave decisions to freshen the team up and it paid off.
'I thought we moved the ball well and scored some good goals.
'Importantly, we made a good start, put in the hard yards early on, and were rewarded for it.
'To get 3-0 up so early in the game put us in a commanding position.
'Our fitness levels again were good on a very hot day and it is always good when your strikers get goals.
'The players who came in all know their roles and it shows we have got a good squad we can use.
'It was very encouraging and there is a real feel-good factor about the place at the moment.
'This has been a great bank holiday weekend with a maximum six points which was the perfect way for us to do it.'
Brian Stock, Theo Widdrington, Rutherford and Bradley Tarbuck all returned to the starting line-up.
The home side took the initiative from the start and Wes Fogden sent a low ground shot past the far upright.
Whitehawk were put under intense pressure and the Hawks were rewarded with an eighth-minute goal.
Stock whipped in a corner and Prior rose above the defence to guide his header into the far corner of the net.
There was no let up and in the 16th minute the Hawks scored again.
Tarbuck got free near the byline and his low cross was turned in by Rutherford.
On 21 minutes Andreas Robinson's strong run into the area was ended by a blatant push and the referee immediately pointed to the spot.
Prior easily sent the goalkeeper the wrong way with his spot-kick.
Even though they held a clear lead the Hawks still continued to work hard at maintaining their tempo.
Five minutes into the second half Max Agnoli saw his shot deflected over the bar.
Soon after the same player was denied at the far post by Ryan Young.
Then the Hawks got their fourth goal in the 59th minute.
Prior laid the ball back at the far post and substitute Barker smashed his shot into the roof of the net.
And Prior nearly got a fifth before the Hawks saw out the match.
Hawks: Young, Robinson, Williams, Stock, Woodford, Harris, Fogden, Widdrington, Prior, Rutherford, Tarbuck. Subs: Lewis, Barker, Carter, Tubbs, Molyneaux


text: (Also posted in Fixed and Singlespeed) Help and assistance, please, folks. I'm about to order a frame from the Chinese People's Bicycle Factory #2081 (www.xacd.com.cn) and can't decide which frame to get. My last attempt showed that unless you know pretty much what you want before you order it, they get very shirty about discussing tweaks - "Why so long delay? Is very simple!". They are fabricators, after all, not design consultants. The bike will be a singlespeed fixed, but for general day rides i.e. it needs to be comfortable on rolling terrain for anything up to ten hours. I usually ride about a 70" gear. XACD's standard 53cm road frame has a seat angle of 74.5, a head angle of 71.5 and a wheelbase of 986cm according to their drawings. It also has lots of gubbins I don't need, so I could go for the track frame where the equivalents are 74, 73 and 974. They point out that I can customise any frame as much as I want, but I'm reluctant to interfere too much with the standard geometry because I don't know enough to do so with confidence. My gut feeling is that a 73 degree head angle is going to be twitchy in normal riding, particularly with the 10cm shorter wheelbase, and I would be much better getting them to put track dropouts on the road frame. Am I right in that?

"I think there are two things happening at the same time. One is that a lot more backlash is happening, and a lot more fear-mongering--and on the other hand, there's a large group of people who are consciously wanting to find out and learn and understand Islam and Muslims."
For this story, we interviewed Naz Mohamed, who has participated frequently in the Bridging Muslim/Non-Muslim Divides event series we organize with Critical Connections. We spoke about her local interfaith work and her thoughts on what will contribute to better understanding.
By Paula Green, Karuna Center founder
November 2014: This is the third workshop I am facilitating with Combatants for Peace (CfP) on behalf of Karuna Center for Peacebuilding. My co-facilitators this time are Ben Yeger, an Israeli CfP member living in the UK, plus Ali Nassal from Ramallah in the West Bank. Both are new colleagues to me before we begin this workshop.
We are at a particularly critical moment in the escalating violence and increasing dehumanization between Israelis and Palestinians. Especially in Jerusalem, where I stayed before the workshop, tensions are high and both populations feel their wellbeing and sense of security threatened.
Approximately 50 Israeli and Palestinian members of CfP gathered for a 3-day retreat in Beit Sahour, a small village near Bethlehem in the West Bank. The Israeli members of CfP served in the Israeli Defense Force and generally also in reserve duty following their service. Palestine members found their own ways to battle against the occupation, many landing in Israeli jails for long or short durations as a result of their protests. For all the members, some event, incident, or insight served as a wake-up call to relinquish their guns or stones. Somehow, they found their way to Combatants for Peace, where they discovered a new way to engage, this time with words and actions focused on ending the occupation rather than through weapons that cause harm and continue the cycle of violence.
Dear Friends of Karuna Center,
Over the past year, Karuna Center has provided in-depth training to local leaders facing some of the most troubling problems in the world today—within Palestine and Israel, the Central African Republic, Sri Lanka, southern Senegal and the United States. We see in the news that there are at least 2,200 dead in the Israel-Gaza conflict, and 925,000 people displaced by the conflict in the Central African Republic—the tragic list continues, but it does not have to end in tragedy. As people, we have so much more to offer than these sad numbers reveal. With your support this fall, Karuna Center will create new opportunities for people around the world to have a transformative impact on the conflicts affecting their lives.
When I think about what led me to believe so deeply in Karuna Center's work, a personal story comes to mind. We all have heroes in our lives, and one of mine is the Dalai Lama. While I was serving in the Peace Corps in Mongolia, I attended a meditation session led by the Dalai Lama's personal physician.
"I have always wanted to talk to the Dalai Lama," I told his doctor somewhat nervously at the end of the session, "and I've been thinking about what I would ask him." The doctor looked at me with deep kindness and respect, and he allowed me to continue. "I've thought about it a lot and what I would like to ask the Dalai Lama is this, 'How can I help you?'"
He smiled. "That is a wonderful question," he responded, "one of the best." Very calmly and with great attention to each word, he looked right at me and said, "I've known the Dalai Lama for many decades and I think I know what he would say. He would tell you that the best way to help him is to be the best person you can be. Be the very best version of yourself."
The world is a complicated place and the news media fill the cup of our attention with suffering and hardship at every turn. I am left with the question, How can being the best version of ourselves change our world? I know this speaks to the heart of Karuna Center's approach. Maybe that is one reason why the Dalai Lama chose to recognize Karuna Center's work by giving its founder, Paula Green, an Unsung Heroes of Compassion award in 2009.
Through carefully facilitated dialogue with "enemy" groups, Karuna Center helps people caught in the most damaging conflicts to address deep wounds and discover their common humanity. Together, they bring out the best in themselves, each other, and their societies. Karuna Center strengthens local skills in conflict management, involving broader communities in practical projects to prevent future violence.
I encourage you to learn more about these programs in the attached newsletter. This fall, I will dig deeply to find what more I can contribute to Karuna Center's mission. I hope you will join me in doing the same, and help us meet our 2014 goal to raise $150,000 from individual donors. I look forward to being part of the very best that Karuna, and all of us, can be.
In peace,
Travis Hellstrom
Travis is a Board member of Karuna Center for Peacebuilding and co-founder of the New Media Foundation. He co-edited the 2014 book Questions for the Dalai Lama: Answers on Love, Success, Happiness & the Meaning of Life.

Thousands celebrate Summer Solstice soireeUpdated with video
Rockland — People gathered in downtown Rockland June 21 for the Annual Summer Solstice Celebration, enjoying good food, live bands, and activities including the traditional Whoopie Pie-Eating Contest and an audience-pleasing flash mob dance.
The event, produced by Rockland Main Street, Inc., and sponsored by Camden National Bank, closed Main Street to traffic for four hours so that families, friends --many of them the four-legged variety -- and all gathered could enjoy a sunny afternoon during the first day of summer.
Rockland Main Street Inc. Executive Director Gordon Page Sr. said he was appreciative of all vendors and merchants involved in Summer Solstice, as well as more than 20 volunteers who make the event happen. He emphasized that it was smoke-free this year.
Page gave a special thanks to volunteers Karyn Rizzo and Deena Carafelli, whom he said handled the event's advance planning.

|From The Imitation of Christ by Thomas A Kempis
God has blessed me with so much more than I asked for. There was a time when I had more money and material things than I needed. I felt then like I had no need of God and relied solely on myself and my personal success. But when God saw that these were corrupting me, He took them away.
Now, I believe He is teaching me so much more about financial stewardship. He is also teaching me to value the little I have and to share it with others. I used to be really selfish and I didn't want to give to others. But now, the less material things I have, the more I am able to share.
More than that, He is molding my heart to have full dependence on Him. He gave me supportive parents who understand what I'm going through. He gives us basic necessities, Godly friends and a parish community, and productive hobbies which allow us to meet people to inspire us and vice versa.
And true to the bible, He really does take care of me 100% - even my most miniscule whims, He solves. Would you believe that because of blogging, a skin care brand made me one of their brand ambassadors? God knows that I have insecurities about my acne scars. He knows that because of my small salary, I can't afford skin treatments right now, so He blessed me with sponsorship. I know this is a very small concern compared to the bigger problems of the world; but nevertheless, He still blesses me, no matter how big or small.
"Consider how the wild flowers grow.
They do not labor or spin.
Yet I tell you,
not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field,
which is here today,
and tomorrow is thrown into the fire,
how much more will he clothe you—
you of little faith!"
- Luke 12: 27-28
Truly there is nothing that I could ask for that He does not know and cannot give. May I always be thankful for my material blessings but may my heart never forget its source. May I love the ultimate source of goodness that is Christ above all things.
Yours in Christ,
The Catholic Chic

Last month Peter Hook did something he had never done before. The bass player turned frontman performed all 49 songs by his former band Joy Division in one evening.
The concert – at Christ Church in Macclesfield – marked the 35th anniversary of the death of Ian Curtis, Joy Division's singer, and raised money for the Epilepsy Society and the Churches Conservation Trust.
Reflecting on the event, 59-year-old Hook says: "It was very nerve racking and very strange having to pace yourself because it was so long.
"Normally I can just go on and let rip but I had to be careful because I was singing so much. I know when I do a normal length set at the end of it my voice is going so I had to be very careful. But I must admit it was a fantastic compliment that the tickets were oversubscribed something like 5,000 times. It makes me wonder where they all are when I play the big venues in Manchester."
It's five years since Hook began playing Joy Division material with his own band, The Light, having been ousted from New Order. Hook says the past half-decade has been "a wonderful time" despite opposition from his former comrades, who include Bernard Sumner. "It was wonderful to celebrate it again at 35 [years], to say thank you to Ian and to do it all for charity. It gave me a good feeling inside."
Hook had initially lined up three singers to front The Light – "I didn't want to sing, I wanted to play bass," he says – but all three quit because of uproar against the project. "In the end it was Rowetta [the Happy Mondays singer], very loyally, that said, 'Listen, Hooky, you're the only one that's man enough to do this, so you'll have to do it'. I was like, 'Oh s***'. Ian's shoes were very big shoes to fill and I must say it took me six months before I could even start to relax. Doing it, it was such a different thing. I'd not sang for so long since Monaco [his 90s side project], but I really enjoy it now."
When Hook was in New Order, they only played Joy Division songs once. "It was sort of an unwritten, unspoken rule," he says. "We only resurrected Joy Division to do [the charity concert] Versus Cancer in 2002 and when we were doing the set – nine, 10 songs – Barney [Bernard Sumner] really didn't like it. I do understand, he wanted to sing the stuff that he'd written and it is a bit jollier, it's poppier and obviously now feels closer to his heart, but the thing is when we were in New Order, before we split in 2007, it was OK to ignore Joy Division, it was only when we'd split and I was on the outside that I thought why do we never celebrate anything to do with Joy Division? That was bizarre.
"I was still earning a lot of money from its continued popularity, I can't say that it was ignorable. Joy Division was getting bigger and bigger and its inspiration to groups was becoming more and more remarked. It felt quite odd. Now I'm free of that, really, and I don't feel any guilt."
Hook will play New Order songs alongside Joy Division material in his headline spot at Willowman festival in North Yorkshire. He says such occasions are no longer tinged with sadness that the original band line-up is not together.
"Really it's just anger over the way I was treated and the way that they continue to act over what I consider to be, in my opinion, an illegal taking of the New Order name," he says. "I don't mind doing the songs – in many ways it made me feel a lot better because it was like getting the kids for the weekend after a nasty divorce."
Peter Hook and The Light play at Willowman Festival at Knayton, near Thirsk on June 20. For full details of the festival bill, which runs from June 18-21, visit www.willowmanfestival.co.uk

We get an update this week on the total "address unknown" mass NOIs filed with the Copyright Office for the royalty-free windfall loophole. This time we have to thank our our friends at Paperchain in Sydney for doing the work of decompressing the massive numbers of unsearchable compressed files posted on the Copyright Office website. As you can see, there's been an increase of approximately 70% since January 2017. (For background, see my article.)
As you can see, Amazon is still far and away the leader in this latest loophole designed to stiff songwriters, followed closely by Google. However, Spotify is moving on up. Spotify does get extra points for starting late in March 2017, but they are catching up fast filing over 5,000,000 as of last month.

@zingales_it & @grolnik: A Way to Own Your Social-Media Data
The European Union imposed a 2.4 billion euro ($2.7 billion) fine on Google last Tuesday for manipulating its search engine results to favor its own comparison shopping service. It is just the latest institution to recognize the increasing monopolization of the technology industry.
Google has about a 90 percent market share in searches, while Facebook has a penetration of about 89 percent of internet users. Economists have a fancy name for this phenomenon: "network externalities." In traditional product markets, one customer's choice (for example, a particular car tire) does not directly affect other individuals' preferences for that product, and competition generally ensures that consumers enjoy the best products at the lowest possible price.
In the market for social media, by contrast, when one customer uses Facebook over Myspace, it has a direct (and positive) impact on other customers' preferences for the same social network: I want to be in the social network where my friends are. These markets naturally tend toward a monopoly.

Five years ago the first Team Strong Hope team was formed?with a group of boys to play in a lacrosse tournament in Maryland.??I wanted these boys to play for a cause and a purpose. We choose to play in honor of pediatric cancer. In addition to playing?we raised over $1000.00 in a week with just 12 boys and onward things went from there.
Over the past several years we have had teams from numerous sports at all levels ranging from youth to college as well as individual athletes who have joined the Team StrongHope Campaign.
Cancer shows no prejudice or mercy on the ones it attacks.?StrongHope Foundation has?waged a counter attack towards this disease with the?Team StrongHope Campaign?which we?hope with the help from many can contribute to one day finding a cure.
The Team Strong Hope name?is defined as:
Team?- a group organized to work together
Strong?- involving or possessing physical or mental strength
Hope?-?a wish or desire accompanied by confident expectation of its fulfillment
We choose the Neon yellow color to raise awareness. With the pediatric cancer ribbon being a golden yellow we have accented it with a bright neon yellow to attract attention to the campaign and to raise question about what we stand for. We want to be what pink is to breast cancer in years to come!
So how does a 10 year old girl from Manchester, MD who is battling sarcoma make hundreds of new friends from the local swimming community, join a swim team, inspire people to raise thousands of dollars and have her mind taken?off the daily burden of her disease by overshadowing hope given form those around her?…
….and how does an 8yr old boy from Southern Pennsylvania who is batting leukemia?now have 61 new big brothers from two local lacrosse teams who adopted him as part of their teams for practices, games and tournaments, inspired a local high school to have a Friday night game in his honor, touched the hearts of many compelled to come together and support the cause and also have his mind taken off the daily burden of fighting his disease?…
The Team StrongHope Team Ambassador program…that's how!!
The Team Ambassador program allows?children who have or have had cancer to become part of our TEAM. We want to support these heroes and honor them for their unprecedented bravery.?When these Cancer Ambassadors become a part of the Team StrongHope Campaign?they are provided with a?support?group of new friends ranging from individual athletes to entire sports teams who are participating in events and games in their honor. We provide them with not only friendship but also?provide them with hope…Strong Hope that they and their new found TEAM mates will remember for a lifetime.
In April of 2012 StrongHope Foundation was granted IRS approval to be a Tax Exempt Public Charity 501 c 3.
We are in need of financial assistance to help us continue to?push forward. Please visit our donate page if you or someone you know may consider supporting our Foundation. Our goal is and will always be to keep our expenses low so that we maximize the funds that are going to the actual cause. Donations are tax deductible!
All of the?generous donations and funds raised by Strong Hope Foundation go towards funding The Team Ambassador program, Pediatric Cancer Research, and future grants that will be given to fund researchers and clinical trials.
This?is?why we fund research.
- There are significant funding Disparities
- Childhood cancer research is vastly and consistently underfunded.
- In 20 years the FDA has initially approved only one drug for any childhood ??cancer – 1/2 of all chemotherapy's used for children?s cancers are over 25 years old
- Research and development for new drugs from pharmaceutical companies comprises 60% of funding for adult cancer drugs and close to zero for childhood?cancers. However, the NCI spends 96% of its budget on adult cancers and only 4% of its budget on children?s cancers.
With your support we not only help draw closer each day to finding a cure but we provide HOPE to?children who continue to battle cancer. HOPE is what inspires us to push forward. The Team Strong Hope Campaign will help provide HOPE in more ways than any of us can imagine!
Thank You for your interest and support,
Bradd Atkinson

What a milestone! Can you imagine how changed the company in the last 5 years? From 10 employees when I joined to more than 700 now!
If you want to read again my story, it's there:
- 2013: Once upon a time…
- 2014: Once upon a time: a year later…
- 2015: Once upon a time: Make your dreams come true
- 2016: 3 years! Time flies!
- 2017: 4 years at elastic!
Before speaking about what happened the last 5 years for me, let's modify a bit the script I wrote last year.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson likes to keep his fans in the loop, often tweeting interesting parts of his day. So it's no surprise that a lot of the news and pictures we've gotten about Brett Ratner's Hercules: The Thracian Wars have come from Johnson.
Here's his latest tweet:
Johnson is all "Herc-ed" out, is that a beard I see on his face? An earlier photo of Johnson as Hercules really showed his bulked out look.
Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend. Haunted by a sin from his past, Hercules has become a mercenary. Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient Greece selling his services for gold and using his legendary reputation to intimidate enemies. But when the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter seek Hercules' help to defeat a savage and terrifying warlord, Hercules finds that in order for good to triumph and justice to prevail… he must again become the hero he once was… he must embrace his own myth… he must be Hercules.

The dark secret hidden in Sansa Stark's costume on Game of Thrones
- Posted by
- Kayleigh Dray
- Published
Warning: This article contains spoilers for the seventh season of Game of Thrones.
Everyone is obsessed with HBO's Game of Thrones at the moment and, now that the surviving Stark children have all reunited at Winterfell, fans are desperately searching for something, anything, that could hint at their future.
We've waxed lyrical about the hidden meaning behind Arya's three little words. Our friends over at Shortlist have told you e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g you need to know about Bran's relation to the 'catspaw dagger' – and we've taken a closer look at Sansa's not-so-subtle hairstyle tributes, too.
However, as it turns out, there's even more to Sansa's appearance than even we realised.
As stalwart fans of the show will remember, Sansa (Sophie Turner) has suffered greatly during the past seven seasons of the show. She was bullied by Queen Cersei, abused by King Joffrey, and raped by psychotic Ramsey Snow – and, yes, these traumas have had an undeniable effect on her.
She's more reserved than she once was: less trusting, less open, less naïve. She's put up a wall against the world – and that has been intentionally reflected in her costume design, too.
Writing on Making of Game of Thrones, costume designer Michele Clapton explained: "Her dresses are tightly-laced on, incredibly difficult to remove – it's a message to Littlefinger [to stay away]."
Sansa's leather belt, likewise, is a way for the character to regain some sense of power over herself.
"This is her taking back control of her body," says Clapton. "I designed it to wrap around over her side-laced dress to represent the absolute removal of any possible physical touch."
Despite all she's been through, though, Sansa refuses to let her past dictate her future. Indeed, the formerly spoiled young girl has proven herself to be an ambitious and shrew political leader – with big plans for Winterfell.
And, again, this is reflected in her wardrobe choices.
"Sansa's cape, for instance, represents Ned and her desire to take on more of a leadership role at Winterfell," says Clapton.
It was previously pointed out that Sansa had been (perhaps unconsciously) mirroring the hairstyles of Cersei Lannister – but, nowadays, she's been spotted wearing an elaborated braided bun in a half-up hairstyle.
A 'do that's very similar to that worn by her late mother, Catelyn Stark.
Speaking to Refinery29, Turner admitted that her character's hair actually reveals a lot more about her than we'd ever realised.
"Sansa's hair is constantly reflecting the people she's learning from, or mimicking, or inspired by at the time.
"When she's Cersei's prisoner, and she's kind of absorbing all her manipulative techniques, it's reflected in her hairstyle, and when she's finding the spirit of Margaery in herself, she wears her hair like Margaery."
So what does the Catelyn style mean for Sansa? Well, it's yet another sign that she's in charge – that she's the true Lady of Winterfell, just as her mother once was, and she's feeling secure and in control.
All in all, it seems as if Sansa could be destined for far greater things than we ever realised: could she be the "younger and more beautiful queen" that is set to overthrow Cersei, after all?

Today at DVerse, we are writing haibuns based on the Japanese concept of Wabi-Sabi, which is described as "the art of imperfection."
I look at a chipped teacup, a broken seashell, cracks in the concrete, even a dying flower and see beauty: poignant, ineffable, intriguing, unique. On every piece of nature are God's fingerprints, infinite. Let me extend this knowledge to my own body, a temple of personal, imperfect and perfect beauty.
Springtime's trees flower,
Jacaranda's purple blooms

On November 13 The Wall Street Journal reported that Colt Defense LLC "could default by the end of the year."
Colt Rifle and pistol sales are sluggish and the company "is likely to miss a [$10.9 million] payment to bondholders" on November 17.
According to WSJ, Colt is controlled by Sciens Capital Management LLC and has "$248.8 outstanding on the bonds as of June 29." On November 13 the bonds were trading at about 30 cents on the dollar. WSJ claims that even if Colt is somehow able to pay bondholders on time, it quickly faces another hurdle via a "$48.1 million term-loan agreement by Dec. 31."
On top of this, Colt expects to report a "50 percent to 60 percent decline in operating income for the quarter [that] ended September 28."
With income down but expenses remaining up, it should be noted that Colt workers are unionized–members of the United Auto Workers (UAW). So there are certain costs associated with the presence of unionization that are eating away at Colt's bottom-line as well.
The automobile manufacturing implosion in Detroit and subsequent bailouts highlighted how the added union costs crippled makers like Chevrolet, Dodge, and Chrysler.

A Snowboarding Based Disaster
And so to France, where I went up a mountain, came down a mountain, rinsed, and repeated, until it was time to pack the board into a bag once more and make my weary way back to London.
Superlatives don't do it justice. All I can do to describe this epically stupendous time is to throw adjectives at it in a way designed to make any English teacher cry, tripping over my own words with excitement like a teenage boy confronted with a hot girl who wants to dance. "Wow...um...great...yeah...brilliant...amazing...fantastically incredibly legendarily awesome!"
But a complete and utter disaster of course. Everything just went so smoothly. I left, safe in the knowledge that I'm really quite a dreadful snowboarder, relying more on my total enthusiasm than any natural grace, balance, or talent to get me from top to bottom. I returned, stunned, amused, and quietly* proud that somehow, somewhere, something has stuck, and it turns out I know how to snowboard. And I'm not too bad at it, either. Still a lot to learn, of course, but overall, not too shabby.
Which means I have literally no funny stories about 'things that happened to me while up a tall mountain strapped to a funny shaped wooden board'. Zero. NONE. There were a few falls, of course, but they were minor, undramatic affairs, resulting in nothing more than a couple of giggles and a bit of snow in odd places where I'm not used to encountering snow.
It was with confidence and joy that I took myself off to Meribel, thinking I would come back with scores of hilarious stories that I could write about, providing you lot with some entertainment and letting myself off the crippling hook of insecurity and intense fear that strikes me whenever I can't think what words to put together in what order**. Instead, I am finding myself writing a story about how my traitorous body learnt to snowboard and did me out of some good stories. How very self-reflexive and postmodern. Deconstructed, if you like.***
We went to Meribel on a coach. A big bus, for God's sake. The drive from London to the French Alps is a long one. About fourteen hours or so. The drive back is, funnily enough, about the same length of time. I had thoughts about this...
Me (four days ago): Golly, 28 hours on a coach. Wonder what will happen? Something's bound to happen. Hope it's something funny. Wonder what will happen?
Me (now): Who would think that 28 hours on a coach could pass in such a freakishly uneventful manner? Something must have happened. Think...think...wow. 28 hours on a coach and really, nothing happened? Golly.
Me (four days ago): Golly is a good word. I'm pleased I just thought it, and I intend to use it more often in conversation.
Me (now): I'm really progressing well with this golly usage. Internal high five!
So. An uneventful coach ride, followed by some awesome, but highly restrained, safe, grown up snowboarding, followed by some unspectacular drinking and eating (driving all night and boarding all day means drinking all the next night's just not going to happen, no matter how noble the intentions of the group). Rinse and repeat before returning to London, having had a terrific trip. It doesn't make for a great story.
Right, time for apologies. I know I've been boring and not so funny of late, and something will have to be done about it, before I lose any more fans.**** At this rate, I shall have to start going out. And if that's what it takes, I will, because (hand on heart, Scarlett O'Hara style) as God is my witness, I will never go boring random blog reading victims again.
*Actually very very loud and vocal about my pride in myself.
**Wow, put that way there's not much to this writing business, is there?
***Oh yes, I went to uni. Please don't ask me what those terms mean.
****Oh yeah, I LOST a fan on Facebook! I was horrified, and whatever I've done to make that person decide they are no longer a fan of this blog, I'm sorry. I don't want to seem desperate, but COME BACK! Funnily enough, I then noticed I personally had lost a friend, and greeted that news with a shrug and a meh. But the fan loss - truly crippling.

Genesis 32:6-12 (NIV)
6 When the messengers returned to Jacob, they said, "We went to your brother Esau, and now he is coming to meet you, and four hundred men are with him."
7 In great fear and distress Jacob divided the people who were with him into two groups, and the flocks and herds and camels as well.
8 He thought, "If Esau comes and attacks one group, the group that is left may escape."
9 Then Jacob prayed, "O God of my father Abraham, God of my father Isaac, Lord, you who said to me, 'Go back to your country and your relatives, and I will make you prosper,'
10 I am unworthy of all the kindness and faithfulness you have shown your servant. I had only my staff when I crossed this Jordan, but now I have become two camps.
11 Save me, I pray, from the hand of my brother Esau, for I am afraid he will come and attack me, and also the mothers with their children.
12 But you have said, 'I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.'"
Genesis 35:1-5 (NIV)
1 Then God said to Jacob, "Go up to Bethel and settle there, and build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you were fleeing from your brother Esau."
2 So Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, "Get rid of the foreign gods you have with you, and purify yourselves and change your clothes.
3 Then come, let us go up to Bethel, where I will build an altar to God, who answered me in the day of my distress and who has been with me wherever I have gone."
4 So they gave Jacob all the foreign gods they had and the rings in their ears, and Jacob buried them under the oak at Shechem.
5 Then they set out, and the terror of God fell on the towns all around them so that no one pursued them.
Fear is rooted in Unbelief and results in Disobedience.
Deuteronomy 1:21-40 (NIV)
21 See, the Lord your God has given you the land. Go up and take possession of it as the Lord, the God of your ancestors, told you. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged."
22 Then all of you came to me and said, "Let us send men ahead to spy out the land for us and bring back a report about the route we are to take and the towns we will come to."
23 The idea seemed good to me; so I selected twelve of you, one man from each tribe.
24 They left and went up into the hill country, and came to the Valley of Eshkol and explored it.
25 Taking with them some of the fruit of the land, they brought it down to us and reported, "It is a good land that the Lord our God is giving us."
26 But you were unwilling to go up; you rebelled against the command of the Lord your God.
27 You grumbled in your tents and said, "The Lord hates us; so he brought us out of Egypt to deliver us into the hands of the Amorites to destroy us.
28 Where can we go? Our brothers have made our hearts melt in fear. They say, 'The people are stronger and taller than we are; the cities are large, with walls up to the sky. We even saw the Anakites there.'"
29 Then I said to you, "Do not be terrified; do not be afraid of them.
30 The Lord your God, who is going before you, will fight for you, as he did for you in Egypt, before your very eyes,
31 and in the wilderness. There you saw how the Lord your God carried you, as a father carries his son, all the way you went until you reached this place."
32 In spite of this, you did not trust in the Lord your God,
33 who went ahead of you on your journey, in fire by night and in a cloud by day, to search out places for you to camp and to show you the way you should go.
34 When the Lord heard what you said, he was angry and solemnly swore:
35 "No one from this evil generation shall see the good land I swore to give your ancestors,
36 except Caleb son of Jephunneh. He will see it, and I will give him and his descendants the land he set his feet on, because he followed the Lord wholeheartedly."
37 Because of you the Lord became angry with me also and said, "You shall not enter it, either.
38 But your assistant, Joshua son of Nun, will enter it. Encourage him, because he will lead Israel to inherit it.
39 And the little ones that you said would be taken captive, your children who do not yet know good from bad—they will enter the land. I will give it to them and they will take possession of it.
40 But as for you, turn around and set out toward the desert along the route to the Red Sea."
Joshua 1:2, 6 (NIV)
2 "Moses my servant is dead. Now then, you and all these people, get ready to cross the Jordan River into the land I am about to give to them—to the Israelites.
6 Be strong and courageous, because you will lead these people to inherit the land I swore to their ancestors to give them.
Joshua 2:9
9 and said to them, "I know that the Lord has given you this land and that a great fear of you has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you.
Promised Land - all the riches of Christ
ALL His strength, power, authority, dominion
Ephesians 3:8 - "the boundless riches of Christ"
Ephesians 3:8 (NIV)
8 Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ,
Colossians 1:9-10 (NIV)
9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of his will through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives,
10 so that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God,
1) Fear is a spirit - battle must be fought in spiritual realm
2) Deal with unbelief first
3) trying to predict the future (sending out your spies) opens the door to more fear
4) Don't miss His purposes
Romans 4:18-21 (NIV)
18 Against all hope, Abraham in hope believed and so became the father of many nations, just as it had been said to him, "So shall your offspring be."
19 Without weakening in his faith, he faced the fact that his body was as good as dead—since he was about a hundred years old—and that Sarah's womb was also dead.
20 Yet he did not waver through unbelief regarding the promise of God, but was strengthened in his faith and gave glory to God,
21 being fully persuaded that God had power to do what he had promised.

The National Air Transportation Association (NATA) has launched a new State Advocacy Network (SAN) consisting of association members in every state who will serve as liaisons between member businesses, state legislatures, and the association.
"General aviation businesses are confronted with issues that require prompt attention, including airport and land use, security, taxation, aircraft noise and emissions," stated NATA President and CEO James K. Coyne. "Identifying pertinent legislation and regulations ahead of their implementation in every state throughout this county is one of the greatest challenges we face as an industry."
NATA's SAN comprises volunteers who act as representatives to keep each other and the association informed of pressing issues in their states.
"NATA members are active participants in their states and local communities and as SAN volunteers their expertise and knowledge of issues affecting the industry are invaluable," concluded Coyne. "Staying informed of issues effecting aviation businesses throughout the country is vital to promoting the interests of our members as well as to defeating unwarranted policies."

We're excited to have our first in-house astrologer for our annual benefit SOAPBOX. Find out more about Alice Sparkly Kat through our interview with her, and be sure to buy your tickets to SOAPBOX 2017 to get an astrology reading with her:
What is your bio in six words or less?
What's your favorite sound, texture, or color?
I like the color blue because it is my first name and maternal lineage name in Chinese.
Who are you are in community with?
A lot of mismatched individuals from all walks of life. A lot of them queer, a lot of POC.
Can you tell us about your relationship with your neighborhood and how it may have shifted over the years?
I first moved to Bushwick 6 years ago. I still don't feel like I should be here or that I'm supposed to be here. I remember China as a hot, smelly home for a different me, Iowa as a cold, isolated home, and think about Brooklyn as a home where I can be much more in control of myself than I have been in the past.
Please tell us about an astrologer, artist, activist, or project that has influenced you.
Doelow da Pilotman from Flight Astrology. Donna Cunningham. Dane Rudhyar, of course. Marc Edmond Jones is another great astrologer. I'm really inspired by projects like Multientry (Christina Xu), Powrplnt, BUFU, and YLC for leaving the academy behind when entangling possibilities. Mitra Abbaspour. I love the mangaka Kaori Yuki. She appropriated Catholicism to create a great queer franchise.
This might be disturbing but Jesus of Nazareth as a Neptunian symbol and performance artist has affected me a lot. By performing healing, he totally affected politics. Jesus was a poor, black refugee who had his most intimate relationships outside of heteronormative marriage and owned no property and all he did was literally use magic to avoid oppression. Of course, he is the ultimate Piscean image of perfection and, like Roxanne Gay says in Bad Feminist, none of us can ever be perfect but I ask myself all the time, "What would Jesus do?"
What inspires your practice as an artist and astrologer?
Every person I get to meet and reading I get to have.
What I mean by this: I remember talking to a very young person who was lost in a lot of relationships one day and then a much older person who had an important position in a large company the next. They both brought up the same problems around value. This experience made me realize that a lot of the time, things we perceive as our problems don't belong to us at all. This is just one example of how doing the readings has made me grow. I try to talk much less and listen more now because I've realized that the readings are a learning and building exercise for both the client and me. Because of this, I feel that each one is as much a failure as it is a success. Trying to find a way to be there as an astrologer to help people heal themselves is very hard but it is the process of trying to do it that motivates me.
You recently did an event on decolonizing astrology. How do you see your work as an astrologer aligning with creating sanctuary for QTPOCs, especially in the current moment?
A lot of our present day language around healing, because it takes its roots from colonialist, patriarchal analysis is in line with the diagnostic language we use to supervise our experiences. While this language is powerful, it strips trauma of its meaning, supposing that there is a tabula rasa we can all access. It supports whiteness as default in this way. Astrology works the other way. It turns our traumas, whether personal or historical, into symbols. That it how it gets its power. This method ultimately depends on the ecosystem of empathy we reside inside of.
Astrology is kind of a funny system because it is so abstract but makes people regard themselves as authentic. What it does is create room. The room is there so people can take a breath and talk about being a body in the world. Sometimes, we are so squeezed tight in between tight systems of how other people navigate our identities that we need another, even most abstract system, to try to talk to ourselves.
Astrology has the potential to talk about cultural significance in a new way because it's been forced to be kind of esoteric. It has its roots in cultures of color, has been colonized, and itself has a diasporic identity. Mapping astrology is literally trying to map culture. This is also why I would like to continue working with the collective in the future. Astrology is not about a singular narrative.
Free-association—tell us the first word that comes to mind:
Alice Sparkly Kat is a queer, PoC astrologer. Her lectures and workshops, writing, and other astrological work has appeared at Hauser and Wirth, BHQFU, Dixon Place, Ars Nova, POWRPLNT, and other venues. She is the in house astrologer for Little Skips! coffeeshop, GO Magazine, and Selfish. Alice uses astrology to re-chart a history of the subconscious, redefine the body in world, and reimagine history as collective trauma. She's friendly, located in Bushwick, and available for readings in person or by phone at www.alicesparklykat.com

Rachael had a problem, she has a two tier hutch but her little madams, Disney and Paris, decided that they didn't like the ramp, even with much coaxing of favourite treats they still refused to venture into the bottom of their hutch.
Rachael obviously wanted her piggles to have more room to play and frolic so she asked for a tunnel to be made specifically to fit the ramp. Disney and Paris have a Snuggle-OO which they adore, so it was fingers crossed that they would be tempted by the fleecey tunnel…. I made a tunnel which was 32 inches long with 4 supporting arches and vecro sewn to the underside, I sent Rachael the sticky parts of the velco to attach to the ramp to keep it secure and in position whilst Disney and Paris travelled through.
I'm very pleased to say it has been a great success and Disney and Paris are now happily using their ramp and have lots more space to exercise, although it sounds as though they're getting lots of exercise just running up and down the ramp!

Embark on a great American adventure and discover the most epic things to do in Northern California. Be inspired with these top travel picks
You are sure to strike gold whatever your choice of things to do in Northern California. The huge northern section of the Golden State is a land of epic proportions where everything is seemingly built on a much grander scale, from towering Redwoods, the tallest trees on earth, to the raging Pacific surf and the snow-capped Sierra Nevada Mountains.
This is a classic road trip country – there are a few more exhilarating drives than cliff hugging your way along the legendary windswept Pacific Coast Highway. There are literally 101 things to do in Northern California and it's a near impossible feat to attempt to see and do it all in a single visit. Yet there are those essential bucket list-worthy Northern California experiences that simply cannot be skipped. The famous Gold Rush may be over but there are a ton of riches to discover right across the region. Read on to get the lowdown on the very best adventures that will soon have you California Dreamin'.
San Francisco
If you are touching down from an international flight, chances are San Francisco will be your very first taste of Northern California life. Instagram-worthy vistas abound across the city including the moody, mist shrouded bay and iconic Golden Gate Bridge, Alcatraz and Chinatown just for starters. I've always found San Francisco to be the most cultured city in the US but it also has a spirited big city feistiness.
It's a diverse city of hippies, hipsters and Silicon Valley hotshots. Despite the undulating hills, it is one of the few US cities where exploring on foot is a real joy, yet you just cannot skip the downhill thrill of a classic cable car ride. Join the throng of visitors strolling along the piers of cheesy Fisherman's Wharf and glimpse the resident sea lions basking in the sun. Sure, it's a tourist trap but an enjoyable one with kids in tow. For a little cultural immersion and history, why not stroll through the iconic Dragon Arch of Chinatown or explore San Fran's Spanish origins in the colourful murals of The Mission District.
By contrast, Union Square is the city's multi-faceted hub for fashion, food and live theatre with a 24/7 throng of tourists and locals battling for every single inch of sidewalk space. For American standards San Francisco is a tight knit compact city but still surprisingly green too. Just a short hop away from the seething city hubbub lies Golden Gate Park and the Presidio Trails. Simply hire a bicycle, get pedalling and explore the scenery. Both also boast awesome views over the Bay.
Napa Valley
Among the most sought after weekend getaways in Northern California are the rolling verdant hills of the Napa Valley. Of course, for wine buffs it needs no introduction. Just 50 miles from the Bay Area, the sleepy, laid back vibe is a world away from the teeming streets of San Francisco. It is essentially a series of small rustic towns, each with upscale country restaurants (many helmed by celebrated chiefs such as Thomas Keller), and sweeping views of mile upon mile of vineyards.
The town of Napa itself is the main focal point but St. Helena is an Instagrammer's fave for its charming Small Town America look. Elsewhere, Yountville is a foodie's haven with a host of top rated eateries. At Calistoga, you can beat the heat with a dip in one of the rustic hot spring resorts. Through the Valley there are numerous places to stay from country inns, motels and uber-luxe vineyard villas, while you are never far from a vineyard offering daily wine-tasting tours.
The Napa Valley is also home to the Old Faithful Geyser of California, a natural phenomenon that has entranced visitors for generations and is definitely worth the short detour to check out. It is just one of three 'Old Faithfuls' in the world, erupting on cue like clockwork day in, day out. Old Faithful Geyser of California blasts a plume of 350-degree water skyward every 45 minutes, fuelled by hot magma lurking deep underground.
There is much to see, do and indulge in the Napa Valley, yet it can still be enjoyed in style even on a day trip. For this you have the Napa Valley train to thank. The Wine Train experience takes riders on a journey through a stunning landscape complete with fine wine and food. While you'll pay top dollar for the experience, it's a movable feast like no other amid plush leather seating and lavish period interior furnishings.

Big Sur
Immortalised first by the Beat Generation and the hippie movement, Big Sur is as much a state of mind as a destination. Here the wild Pacific Ocean batters the craggy coastline, while towering forests of redwood trees lie beyond in the hinterland interior. In fact there are more than 200 miles of hiking and biking trails to explore.
The classic Northern California road trip cruising along the famous Highway 1 gives you the best vantage point to view the jaw-dropping seascapes. Interestingly, nudism and surfing happily co-exist in Big Sur. Head to secluded Pfeiffer Beach or little known Fullers Beach to strip off, paddle out in search of the perfect wave, or perhaps if you are daring enough, why not combine the two.
Getting back to nature is a breeze and you won't be short of inspiration with both Julia Pfeiffer Burns State Park and Pfeiffer-Big Sur State Park just two awesome wilderness options. Tramping through huge redwood forests, where endangered California condors circle above in the sky, followed by a refreshing skinny dip in the Big Sur River is a popular choice. When time allows multi-day treks are obviously the best bet and there are numerous campgrounds, B&Bs and luxury lodgings nestled close to all the various trails.
While the obvious gifts of Mother Nature are its main asset, Big Sur has its own very distinctive lifestyle allure as a spot to get off the grid, at least for a few days. You'll rub shoulders with modern-day mystics, artists and burned-out techies who swarm here for some R&R amid stunning nature. There are a number of retreats, workshops and wellness centres catering to stress-relief in abundantly creative ways. Expect nudist spas, monastic style silent retreats and mindfulness hiking.
Black Chasm Caverns
A short one hour detour from the state capital Sacramento, Black Chasm Caverns is one of those rare natural attractions that tick all the boxes especially with kids. Designated a National Natural Landmark, energetic kids get to scramble over, slither under and slide down weird and wonderful rock formations deep below the surface, and learn all about rare helictite crystals and gemstone mining. In fact if you look closely enough you'll see the twisted age-old rock, stalactites and stalagmites have almost taken on the shape of strange creatures such as dragons and monsters. Kids can also sift away for gold in the dank, dark surroundings on the fun-filled Labyrinth Tour.
Yosemite National Park
The grand-daddy of the US national parks system, Yosemite is for me the epitome of America's wild, untamed open spaces and you'd be crazy to limit a stay to just a day. Just consider the mind boggling options – hiking, off-road biking, fishing, white water rafting, rock climbing and gold panning.
Hikers follow the well-worn paths along the John Muir Trail and the Mist Trail, yet a few steps off the trails can easily open up a whole new seemingly untouched landscape with not a soul in sight. Just like the resident brown bears and mountain cougars, virtually everything is on a grand scale from the soaring sequoia trees to humongous granite rock formations, roaring waterfalls and best of all, the jaw dropping panoramic view at must-see Glacier Point.

Skiing in Tahoe
There is much more to Northern California tourism than sunny skies and the surfer lifestyle. The region has some of the best white stuff in the US and you can be carving up the powder in Tahoe just a relatively short cross-country drive from Sacramento. Sprawling along the shoreline of the Californian side of Lake Tahoe there are huge ski stations like Heavenly Mountain Resort offering conditions to suit all from easy baby bump slopes or off-the-grid extreme terrain for the budding pro. Awesome Alpine scenery comes as standard too.
The snow-capped Sierra peaks loom in the distance and the stunning views of Squaw Valley and Lake Tahoe itself are immense. Did I mention the glitzy casinos? When a day on the piste is done, you can cruise across the lake into Nevada for a wild night of wagering or simply dive head first into the raucous Vegas-style entertainment scene.
Six Flags Discovery Kingdom
While SoCal has Disney, Northern California boasts its own big draw of freefalling, twisting, loop-de-loop thrill rides. These adrenaline pumpers like Superman Ultimate Flight and Tsunami Soaker draw the insanely long lines at Six Flags Discovery Kingdom during sunny summer months but there is also a ton of other fun distractions.
There is a huge animal park with resident African lions, Siberian tigers, playful sea lions and a veritable menagerie of smaller critters and creepy reptiles. If you are seeking at least one day of mindless action, a little tot-friendly fun and wacky toon-like live entertainment, it ticks all the right boxes. Just don't expect any authentic Northern California culture.

Santa Cruz Boardwalk
While not a typical American boardwalk, Santa Cruz pre-dates many others with a history stretching back more than 100 years. The low brow, low tech vibe is all part of the boardwalk's charm where old school carousels and cotton candy still reign rather than high-tech VR thrill rides.
Best of all its free to stroll the boardwalk or laze on the adjacent sandy beach and you simply shell out for individual rides or an all-day inclusive wristband. The standout is arguably the wood built Big Dipper coaster which has been a fixture here since 1924. It oozes classic Americana but all those hard-to-impress tech savvy teens may find it a little underwhelming. If it all looks vaguely familiar, you'd be right – the boardwalk was the setting for the 1980s Vampire flick The Lost Boys.
Northern California Food
Food, glorious food. If you think Napa Valley has the monopoly on fine foodie adventures in Northern California, then think again. The real deal is nearby Sonoma which you could almost describe as a mini Tuscany with great locally made wine, cheeses, olive oil and chocolates.
Starting in either Sonoma or swanky Healdsburg, there is a raft of local food walking tours which offer the inside scoop on the farm-to-table foodie lifestyle in the Wine Country. There are usually several yummy tasting stops on each route while you learn a little about the region's art scene, history and culture. In typical American style, each of these tastings are akin to a full-blown meal so be sure to enough save room to sample all the goodies.
Sure, you can get the all-American staples in Sonoma like burgers and breakfast burritos (invariably with an arty twist) but you simply must try some of the epic specialties ranging from cured meats, smoked trout, duck confit and more. If you are only here for the beer, you are in luck too. There is a big, bustling craft beer scene with numerous top rated microbreweries, brew pubs and taverns to drink yourself into an impending hangover of epic proportions.

Conclusion – Northern California is a land of surprises
An exhaustive hotlist of things to do in Northern California is virtually an impossible task, much like trying to pack it all in during a single, short visit. We've highlighted a mix of the must-see attractions and thrown in a couple of lesser known off-the-grid trips, be it for kids, couples or die-hard adventurists.
From bustling city to sprawling natural wilderness, Northern California experiences are larger than life themselves and cover just about every conceivable interest and passion from under the radar things to do near the California Oregon border right down to cultured San Luis Obispo, yet another popular pitstop on the great Californian road trip adventure. Plan ahead for your Northern California adventure but factor in for the unexpected too. In virtually every county or just off every highway there are surprising one-of-a-kind NorCal experiences just waiting to be discovered.

The return of Babylon Zoo
This week i've been back home in Camberley, and a bit bored, so i've been trawling through old 'favourites' on internet explorer. I came across 'www.babylonzoo.net', and it bought back many fond memories, mostly of impersonating Babylon Zoo mainman Jas Mann, and telling his loyal subjects that a new album would be on the way soon. I eventually got banned from the site for this, the big fascists.
However, upon visiting again, headline news appeared to be that Babylon Zoo would indeed be releasing a record in the new year, and none other than Jas Mann himself was asking for a one word contribution towards lyrics. Most of the words put forward so far were rubbish. If i could be bothered to post i feel my word would be 'twat', as it always makes me laugh. I also felt 'jeans' would be a good contribution too.

My new tattoo!
How exactly does this reflect self-defense considering I'll be sitting out of training for a week or two?
For my Karate fans, the catch is that the calligraphy was done by Hokama Sensei when I visited him in Okinawa two years ago.
The tattoo is the name of my daughter, who turns 4 today.
This is the story of a Spanish man, who lived in England, Japan and Manchuria, married to a Chinese woman, who had a daughter near Shaolin Temple, who wore his Okinawan t-shirt while he got tattooed in Shanghai by a Russian MMA fellow, who had to drag his Serbian friend for emotional support, who had a crowd of people from Ghana to Ukraine drinking Japanese beer while observing as he got the tattoo and cursed in Catalonian.
Now, a piece of advice if you want to get tattoos in your shins:
I have some videos of the process, some long, some short, and some pics:
Please, excuse the random order:
I'll post pics wearing karategi asap!

Dear family and friends,
We worked it hard on Wednesday through Friday, and Friday afternoon we experienced something that has never before happened in the history of this mission. We were witnesses to an armed robbery. We had to go down to the police station and give our stories. They caught one of the guys involved but the other got away. We got to identify him in a police line up. Then there was a lot of paperwork, questioning and talking to police and lawyers. This took all night. I never thought I would ever pull an all-nighter in a police station. I didn't get to bed until 8:45 A.M., but we didn't let a little sleep deprivation stop the work; we continued to press forward. Saturday and Sunday we did the best we could with our appointments, considering how tired we were. This whole thing doesn't help the work at all, they may have to call us into court to testify, with transfers coming up we may be in three different areas so we can only hope this will all work out quickly. In case your worried, don't be; nobody was hurt except for the car they stole.
In regards to President R., he's not getting any better. At the end of this transfer the last of the missionaries that started under the previous mission president, President H., will go home and President R. is trying to tighten his grip on the mission. He's not happy that the Pres H. missionaries have more respect for President H. than himself and that the baptismal record of 40 baptisms in one month occured during President H.'s last month and hasn't reached that height since then. The Pres H. missionaries say that he inspired them but all President R. cares about is obedience and numbers, so they don't feel inspired. President H. sounds like a nice guy and if President R. wants to see the mission improve he might try to inspire us like President H. did instead of lecturing us and telling us we need to constantly improve and not do little things that don't really matter. Don't get me wrong, I love President Roach, and I don't want to make him sound like a bad guy but honestly that's what some missionaries feel he's becoming. They don't feel like he listens to them at all. In reality he does his best in the best way he knows how and trying to be like someone else probably wont help ether.
Moving to something a bit more light-hearted I hope, in the last two weeks of every transfer, information leaks out about what will happen next transfer and if my little birdies have told me right, then there's a 100% chance that I will leave Beverly and go to the Naperville zone. The only thing good about this is that if my little birdies are right then I will be in another missionary trio. But lets wait until next week for transfer calls for those rumors to be confirmed.
Today at Sister C.'s we learned a bit about the history of the earth, how it fell from Kolob's orbit to here and the trauma of that fall is what may have killed the dinosaurs and started the ice age. Earth was baptized in the flood and places like Atlantis disappeared when the earth split. Also each of us is going to be an Abraham in someway because we will all be tested by giving up something we love. Last, Christ was confirmed a member of his church when he received the Holy Ghost; God spoke and confirmed him and then he received the Holy Ghost.
Today is a zone activity, that's it for now.
love Elder Fields

Oops, I haven't posted in a long time! I haven't been stitching too much because I got a new laptop, which means I can actually play games again. But I did finish Mermaid Verde last week, so I took a group pic with her sister, Mermaid Azure. :)
The colors on these pictures are horrible, by the way. I can't get them adjusted properly, and I've already retaken these photos twice, so... we'll just have to pretend they look right. The fabric on the right should be a really intense, bright blue. Oh well.
And here's Verde by herself...
I've already started another small Nora/Mirabilia project, so I'll show that one next time. :)
