I am back!
Finally Ummi is back to paint your blog after nearly 2 years missing in action. You must thank Auntie Myra for motivating Ummi to write again. After few weeks trying to recall this old dusted blog, missing password and learning how to sign in & update...Alhamdulillah, I made it!
Today both of you are enjoying yourselves at Embah's house in Kg Ayer Itam, Muor. I am sorry I cannot join the trip because Ummi is too heavy and too exhausted for long distance travel. Ummi has baby Emran in my tummy, 8 months plus. Insya Allah soon the day will come for Ummi and baby Emran to balik kampung and enjoy the beautiful moment! Insya Allah, pray for Ummi ok?
Remember Ummi's advice when you are at Embah's house :
1) Please inform Abah if you want to play outside the house or walk to Kak Hafizah's house
2) The rambutan tree is nice to see, fruit nice to eat...not to climb! Ummi struggle to find reverse psychology word on this one because everytime Ummi said "Don't" , you ended up Doing it!
3) You can play your heart out. Remember to perform prayers, brush your teeth and take good care of yourself.
Ummi love both of you so much!!
Well done for completing your homework early and pack your own stuff. Have fun!

This had been something I had dreamed of ever since arriving at Caiman Ecological Refuge.
Every morning we go out to look for jaguars. There is a bridge, called Paizinho (Little Father) that is a good starting point to look for tracks. A nearby Camera Trap tells us that jaguars frequent the area, but seldom do we get to actually see them as they use the man made bridge to cross the water. Every guest who comes here will pass over this bridge a number of times during his or her stay. The bridge is iconic of Caiman Ecological Refuge as it marks the entrance to the main access road to the lodge.
The other night I was out with the Projeto Onçafari team when we got the jaguar sighting of a lifetime. Fantasma, the big male jaguar of the area, was on patrol. He was calling, scent marking and walking fast. At this stage he was still a kilometer away from the bridge, but his direction was perfect. We took the gamble and left him, racing forward to get to the bridge. High risk, high reward is a motto of mine.
We got to the bridge, got our car into position, and checked our camera settings. We were ready. Now we just needed the big boy to cooperate. My heart was pounding as the minutes ticked by.
All of a sudden in the distance I could hear his heavy breath and his pads hitting the dry earth. I turned the spotlight on and looked up the road.
I could not believe that he was coming. I could not believe we were in the perfect position and this was actually going to happen.
The Ghost appeared out of the Darkness and walked across the bridge.
After 6 months I finally managed to get the shot of a jaguar walking across the iconic bridge of Caiman. And not just a jaguar, it was THE jaguar, possibly one of the biggest in the Pantanal. This series of photos will aid me in reliving those few seconds for the rest of my life.

I am feeling much better now.
For starters the weather is picking up each day, it's by no means guaranteed here but it means that the problems I've been having lately are lessened simply because Chloe and I can stick our coats on and go somewhere else. The main issue we're having at the moment is that there are no kids in our street Chloe's age, unless of course you count the pack of wild animals who walk on their hind legs and live around the corner. Seriously, if you were to give these kids a grain of salt, they would find something to do with it which would result in a neighbour having to call the police.
Chloe will be allowed to play with those kids over my dead body.
But we can walk to to my mum's house more often now where she has ample friends to run around with and scream and giggle as much as she wants, plus for bonus points it takes the pressure off me to be her personal court jester!
And walking is good, and Chloe needs to know that. She's growing up around so many people who firmly believe that to drive is to live, that it's even more important to me that she enjoys the simple act of putting one foot in front of the other. Aside from the fact that it costs a small fortune to learn to drive here, not to mention the three tests I'd have to take, plus our insurance company's quote of £678 per year to add me as a named driver (with restricted mileage) to our current policy, I just don't like driving and the older I get the more stubborn I get about the whole thing.
Obviously Chloe wants to go back to daycare because she doesn't have any friends at home to play with. I get that and I understand it and I'm better able to deal with it now. Chloe is incredibly social and even though she spends 7 hours a day in school, its a little too structured to be enough of a social experience for her. Plus I have to admit that a mother is never a suitable substitute for friends her own age. She's just needs to have kids her own age to play with and for them to be creative and lead their own play rather than under the instruction of an adult. I was never supposed to be the be all and end of her entire world. It's under consideration and the staff at her old daycare are very excited about the prospect of her coming back again, even if it is only an afternoon or two a week.
And we're working on the whole shyness thing. I've spoken with her teacher on Monday morning and from the admittedly small amount of useful information that we can get from Chloe it seems that she is convinced that talking in school isn't allowed, at all, ever! It's a bit of a mixed bag of where she's got this idea, but we hope a little more straight forward to fix.
It seems all the kids in Chloe's class were taught a little, well I don't really know what to call it, it doesn't rhyme, maybe it's a mantra but it goes something along the lines of "Eyes are for looking, Ears are for listening, Mouths are silent and Feet are still". The kids all know this by heart and can recite on command. Except Chloe, who knows it, but saying it out loud would be talking and that's not allowed.
I've tried pointing out to her that this is only the case some of the time, but it's fine to talk at other times. The problem is that she has a friend at my mum's house who is a bit of a tattle tale, but if the kids aren't doing anything wrong, she'll try to make them do something they shouldn't be doing so that she has a reason for tattling. I've been trying to point out to Chloe the idea of another person trying to get her into trouble which means that when I tell her it's ok to talk in school she thinks I'm trying to get her into trouble and the same theory applies to the other kids in her class.
Her teacher is going to spend a bit of time reassuring her in class that it's perfectly fine to talk and I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it works and that the whole not talking thing isn't too firmly ingrained.
And I've even managed to finish a few things too. Except to cheer myself up, these are all entirely new things, rather than any of the things sitting around half finished. Still it's a start:)

Hope you get the school thing sorted soon.ReplyDelete
Love the little purses.
One day. . . when i'm rich. (Pah as if, when I have more than a few pennies to rub together perhaps).
Hell... they even tell her "Mouths are silent" and then they ask her to speak? It's a catch-22, really. She can't win either way.ReplyDelete
My son could do with learning that!!!ReplyDelete
Hope things improve.
Love your new creations :)
teachers carry a lot of responsibility. One of the kids in my class once told his mum I had said that everyone HAD to go to the movies on Christmas Eve, she was most put out as it wasn't very convenient (I'd actually just said that I was going...)ReplyDelete
My daughter refused to believe me when I said her teacher hadn't said there were 20 hours in the day, not even with the aid of all the household clocks.
My daughter (now nine) was a different person at school and I was like you, worrying that I wasn't seeing the "real" her.ReplyDelete
After a heart felt conversation with her, I took a massive leap of faith and deregistered her. She and her brothers are now home educated and honestly, it's the scariest and best thing I've ever done.
Not the answer for every one, I realise, but thought you may take comfort that you are not alone in your dilemma.

Not all things can be stopped by such ritual. Woe be unto the woman who gives birth on a pagan festival day, for they are doomed to raise a Changeling. Pagans say that the Old Gods punish the spirit of the child for having the audacity to distract from the rites which are owed to the gods. Followers of Law say that the sinful acts of the pagans on such feast days allow demons or fairies to enter the Material Plane and steal the child in order that they might replace it with the Changeling. Countless other explanations exist. Perhaps it has nothing to do with the feast days. Many a bard's tale tells of ghostly lovers or strange dreams causing the creation of such beings. Hunters sometimes return from the woods "changed" as well.
Changelings are strange beings. They seem to grow more quickly than normal children, but they retain their youthful appearance well into their ninetieth year. Those who changed when they were adults are often experts at skills they showed no affinity for in their previous lives. All a masters of magic, and the arcane arts seem to come naturally to them. They are equally skilled with swords, bows, and other weapons of war. According to the stories women tell to each other while they prepare their husbands' freshly killed game, Changelings often use these powers to bewitch their parents or lovers. The endings vary, but all are too horrible to relate to those of us who live comfortable lives outside the toil of Premodern life.
Like the other creatures of the World, Changelings exist outside of the tales of hunters and old women. All bear some strange feature or mark of their nature. The nature of their mark varies wildly. Some bear strangely curved horns, others unnaturally colored eyes, and still others seem perpetually covered in soot and grime. These sorrowful beings wonder the World, for no sane person would ever let such a creature into their home. However, despite their appearance, Changelings have very human minds. They feel sorrow and pride and mirth as much as any other human. Perhaps woe is not visited upon the mother, but upon the Changeling itself.
Despite the seemingly innumerable ways Changelings can occur, they are extremely rare. Most will go there entire lives without seeing one, or indeed without hearing a story about one that had any basis in truth. Perhaps this is the reason they are shunned.
I strongly considered removing the Elf entirely from the Nightwick Campaign world -- well, as a player option anyway. Some suggestions here led me to consider this option. I must say that I'm rather happy that I found a way to contextualize Elves. I'm not always a big fan of their psuedo-Tolkien flavor, but I rather like the idea of a Fighter/Magic-User hybrid. This model should allow me to keep that as a player option while still making Elves mysterious and frightening.
I'm not entirely sold on this option yet. I'm worried it might be a bit too "emo," but such is life.

I have also been thinking about this treatment of Elves (and Dwarves) as human offspring gone wrong. I was inspired in part by the ruminations over at Huge Ruined Pile about Orcs as men who have been tranformed into monsters by their own acts of cannibalism, murder, etc.ReplyDelete
My thoughts: long-lived, androgynous, non-reproductive Elves and Dwarves replenish their small numbers from the ranks of the fast-breeding humans.
In the case of the Elves, a human woman who lives in close proximity to Elf-haunted woods may be "fertilized", with or without the intervention of a human male, by the Elves (or by the woods themselves). The medium for this might be fairy wine, pomegranate seeds, airborne pollen, demon lovers who visit her in dreams... lots of fitting possibilities. The child is born "different", and eventually wanders off into the woods, never to be seen again. Half-elves (aka "elf" PCs) are those who were somehow restrained from their natural proclivities, usually by harsh measures (hot brands, cold iron, church bells etc).
Dwarves, on the other hand, don't participate at all in the actual creation of their children -- they buy them. Often on the cheap, from desperate women (see e.g. Rumplestiltskin). These children work as slaves and apprentices in the Dwarven mines until they eventually take on the wizened, hunched, soot-smeared appearance of their fellows and forget their human origins.
Goblins, of course, steal children outright. Everyone knows that.

I really like this take. Nice piece of writing. I think there are a couple of points it might be tweaked. Saying they are "masters" of magic might be overstating a bit. The bit about "no sane person" will let them into their homes could be a bit of an issue in play. Maybe something about it being bad luck to have one sleep under your roof, instead? That way a Changeling could have the social stigma fun of sleeping in the stables and being shunned, without being unable to interact with NPCs indoors.ReplyDelete
Quick proofreading note- in para 2 where you use "rights", I think you want "rites".
I did something a bit similar in my 4E game, making the Dragonborn & Tieflings less inhuman. The Dragonborn are more like snakemen, still scaly, but less lizardlike in their features. The Tieflings have minor and variable signs of daemonic heritage, like your Changelings, and like Tieflings originally had in 2E, instead of the over the top horns and skin colors of 4E.
@ shimrodReplyDelete
You are right on both counts. Making Changelings be that alienated would hurt their viability as a character option.
I have to balance this with my terminal disdain for non-human player characters, but they are far too large a part of D&D for me to let go of them.

And then... another Mom arrived! She kind of fit herself between them and me, turned her back on me and proceeded to hold court! I was totally excluded! Well, its no biggie! I can quite easily enjoy my own company, but my blood started to boil a little at the rudeness, intended or not I don't know.
So, bless my blackberry, while quietly fuming, I started catching up on facebook and twitter. One tweet caught my eye. It said: "If I having nothing but God, I have everything!" God alone satisfies.
I felt God was talking to me 'in the moment' letting me know that I need Him and only Him.
I let it go after that - ok, about an hour after that (smiles). The point is - God is all we need and to pick up an offence, intended or not, does not bring satisfaction. Only frustration and hurt!
|and all we need is....God!
2 Corinth 1 v 3-4: Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, (4) Who comforts us in all our tribulation that we may be able to comfort those who are in trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God!
Do you see that? God wants to comfort us, but He wants us to take it a step further and comfort others as He has comforted us!
God bless

Its true, I am.
I met some guys in the park, and they were slackin'. I thought what the hell, I'll try this slackin' stuff out too....
What the hellll are you talking about, BEN?
Well, I am not talking about ditching class, I'm talking about walking on a line. A slack line tied between two trees.
You have probably seen people do this before. If you are anything like me, you probably walk by, think "eh, whatever..." and get on with your day. In Boulder, I thought I'd give these weirdos who walk the line a chance. It doesn't look easy, but let me tell you something... its even a lot harder than it looks. Whats cool about it though isn't necessarily the difficulty and balancing. It also brings people together. I met these guys in a park one day, and two days later, one of the same guys was there, with a whole group of new people, none of whom previously knew each other. They were all so nice, inviting, and encouraging too. Sure, maybe it was just because they were all stoned, but I dig it. ANNNND, after 2 days of trying this nonsense, I actually was able to stand up and take a few steps... not an easy feat I might add..
On a different note, my sister, Rachel "Road Racer" Alter came out to CO to spend some time with her brother. Well that was her excuse. She really just came out to do some of the best road bicycle riding in the country. But, either way, both were accomplished during the few days she spent in CO.
Over Lee Hill/Old Stage and up to the peak to peak highway through Jamestown and down St. Vrain through Lyons and back on the 36 to Boulder was a nice little introduction to the altitude and the beauty.
... is it possible to ride through Lyons after a ride like that without stopping for "lunch?"
Next was one trip up Flagstaff mountain.
... we even stopped to smell the flowers.
Then, it was up Left Hand Canyon to Ward, peak to peak through Nederland, and down the canyon along side the Boulder creek.
... I personally couldn't pass up 3 bites of Ben and Jerry's ice cream.
If you couldn't tell, I am a little obsessed with the state of CO. That being said, the time had come to load up my crap and get the hell out of there. Don't get me wrong, I could sleep on a futon in a basement, eat oatmeal with Bobbi and Andy every morning, and make the best of every day forever. But, it was time to stick to the plan and see a bit of this country. The rolling hills of Wyoming, the badlands of South Dakota, and the lakes of Minnesota. I currently reside on a blowup mattress in the family lake cottage, about 25 feet from the shore of Lake Melissa in Detroit Lakes. It's peaceful, even with the occasional arguments between my two rapidly maturing adolescent siblings Gwen and Grant.

We know it seems like a daunting task for an Average Joe to hookup with hot girls. For most of you, right now, it is. But by the time you're done taking in all of the FREE advice about classified sex ads and classified dating personals we provide you with, this task will be a piece of cake. We here at classified-ads-tactics.com would like to invite you to soak in the information posted on this site. Read the reviews, dating guide, and blog articles. In those pieces of content, you will learn the following (and a whole lot more!)…
We don't particularly care about your background, your appearance, or how much money you're worth. Since you were kind enough to stop by our website, we're going to get you laid. There are a lot of guys out there that use the Internet to get laid or find love…and fail. In fact, more than 85% of the men online don't succeed at finding what they're looking for online. What is preventing most guys from getting a girl on classified personal ads websites?
We'd love to tell you about what hunks we are, but that wouldn't be the truth. We're guys that have struggled for years to meet women. Doesn't matter if it's in a bar or on the Internet. We were never good with the ladies until we started working on our game online. And even though we still have no offline game, we're scoring with hot chicks on a regular basis.
We're not pickup artists. We aren't going to teach you bogus strategies to smooth talk your way into a woman's pants or to be slick with the ladies. That doesn't actually get you laid. Instead, it gets eBook writers and phony pickup artists paid. So how are you going to get laid especially if you're not the best looking guy out there and don't use a bunch of smooth pickup lines? That's all in the guide!

BRETT ELDREDGE will take the stage. For the 2014 CMA New Artist of the Year, work beg an on his second album the day his first one went on sale.
"That was over two years ago," remembers the tall, handsome Midwesterner, relaxing between takes in a Nashville studio. "That night, I took a long walk around New York City. I was thinking, 'This is great but I've got to start preparing for the next album. I've played all these stages and put out an album you can be proud of. But now you've got to release another album that's even better and bigger.'"
Eldredge was determined to build upon the success of BRING YOU BACK, which yielded three No. 1 hits – "Don't Ya," "Mean to Me" and the Billboard No. 1 song on Country Airplay for 2014, "Beat of the Music." With the release of his sophomore album Illinois, the momentum continues. The album debuted at #1 on the Billboard Country Albums Chart and #3 on the all genre Billboard 200 Album Chart. Illinois has already produced two #1 singles with "Lose My Mind" and most recently "Drunk On Your Love." Now with five consecutive #1 singles, Eldredge recently earned his first ever Male Vocalist of the Year nomination for the 2016 ACM Awards. Illinois is a starting point for several different journeys — back to the small-town values that Eldredge cherishes, out toward further-flung vistas of expression and at the same time deep into the bedrock of country music.
Hit Songs: "Don't Ya", "Beat of the Music", "Drunk On Your Love", and "Lose My Mind."

I'm suppose to take a few days off blogging. But then, this came to mind, and I just have got to share it.
I know I've wrote to you bout my 1st Christmas wish on the Final Fantasy figurine. That - I still want for Christmas.
But today, I want to write to you about another 'toy' that I'd like to have this Christmas - the Lazy Boy Chair!
I first had my first Lazy Boy Chair experience in the Philippines. A friend recommended me to try the cinema there with this luxury experience. The chairs were the lazy boy chairs... and there were free flow of popcorn & drinks too.
I tried this again in Jakarta and also back here in Kay El's cinema - minus the free flow. And I must say - I'm so loving it.
It feels so good to lay on the chair.. having my Happy Feet up, and just watch the big screen. I was like on a floating cloud. Pure luxury & pamper. That was bliss.
Then the other day, while walking at the mall, I saw the Lazy Boy Chair on display. And I thought to myself that - hey I don't need to just be at the cinema to enjoy life. I could do this back home. So I said to myself that that is oh-so-what I want! Hence this letter to you, Santa!
So, Father Christmas please reward a 'good' boy like me! For you will not only make me happy, but a bunch full of others too!
*Btw, if you get that chair, I promise you that I'll allow you to use it whenever you deliver presents to my home!
PS: Do u need my address?

Sounds ominous, well that might be to tough a word, but it is the beginning of my MaryAnn's final journey through her childhood school years. She started high school on the 8th of August. I can't believe it, another begins what hopefully be the most fun and exciting time of their young life. This makes number four to be a freshie :) What really blows me away is that I still have two more that have to do this yet!!! Santino didn't want to go back, Sophia was on the fence with wanting to see all her friends. Here is much different than in Brooklyn where your friends were all right next to each other so almost all of their socialization is through school. Me, well I'm still not into to bring, come home, bring, come home, then bring and come home again, then do it in reverse for the pick-up. Yeah that's right, all three are on different schedules, Mare at 7:25-2:30, Santino 7:45-1:50, and Sophia 8:45-3:25. Luckily I'll be doing carpooling with Mare's best bud's Mom since she has 3 on the same time too, so we'll work out bringing and dropping off. Just want them to get a few weeks under their belts before we work that out.
We had such a wonderful week in Carlsbad at the end of July. This pretty little town is about 30 minutes from San Diego and we were right across the street from the beach. We just carried our chairs right there. When the kids got hungry, I went back made them lunch 1 2 3 and brought it right back to them. We did the zoo one day and the outlet mall another, but otherwise we just chilled on the beach. We all went walking on it at night which was so nice. Some really great places was the Chocolate Bar, yummy!! Just click the name to see it. Another was a little place called Boxd, a waffle place where you can order a variety of waffle sandwiches, they were delicious! The place was just neat, and it had quite a steady stream of people buying them.
In scrappy news, I'm making a wedding album of my daughter's wedding. This one is all mine, not for her, also, I've given it some thought, and there is just no way I can create fast enough to open an actual booth. My process just takes too long. The baby album I made for my friends sister took me about 3 1/2 days, I can't crank 5 or 6 of these suckers out in that short a time frame. I am going to need to go on an order basis which is fine for me, I just need to attract a customer base. I love the way the girls baby album came, here are pics, oh and it was nice getting paid for it too!
Little Darlings by G45 is one of them most gorgeous lines out there! b When I finish the wedding album I'll get it up.

Crossing Kentucky
Guess what…as tired as I was last night, I didn't sleep worth a darn. I couldn't stop thinking about all the great, good, bad and ugly things from the R-I (that is short for Ride-In™ which hereinafter I will use in place of the full word for simplicity sake.) As usual, I woke up around 1 then 2 then 3 then 5 (yep, slept a little bit) then again right before my alarm was to go off at 6. Perfect.
We landed last night at a Comfort Inn and I must say it must be the nicest one I have ever seen with a great staff. There was an outside pool and a bar/restaurant and our room was VERY CLEAN! Dave and I were so tired that we popped a bag of popcorn and ate it with some peanut butter crackers and about 3 little bags of potato chips. Side note…there is a reason your mom told you not to eat in bed and I can tell you that popcorn and peanut butter cracker crumbs do not make good bed mates. I fell asleep at 9:30 (which was a lot later than I thought I would last) binging on several shows of Swap Meet Flip or something like that.
So we ate breakfast (eggs looked and tasted like eggs, coffee was GREAT and FREE and STRONG) and afterwards we proceeded to pack our bikes. Though we had parked under the front awning, someone had either sat or punched our Hillbilly Trailer and crunched the lid in so Dave had to take a hammer out to pound it back. Next I failed to zip all the zippers on my backpack so when I hefted it off my shoulder to heft it into the trunk, my laptap fell out and hit first my big toe on my left foot and then the pavement and I just stood there with a "Well, that just killed that" look on my face while praying that my backup was current. When I picked it up, I saw the screen side on the right side was split open so I tried to snap it back and I wondered what kind of laptop I should purchase to replace it. Needless to say for the first 30 minutes of the ride I was questioning should I go Apple or not and how would I ever deal with the current version of OneNote (because I like an older version.)
It was a pleasant riding day. We sort of did a reverse of what we did to get out to PA but left out all the missed turns and the Land Between The Lakes because today was super slab all the way. Of course the genteel Kentuckians call their super slabs "Parkways" which is ever so much more genteel and to some degree it seemed as if the drivers were being overly polite and I think I saw a true southern belle wave a white hankie as I passed.
We have to be home tomorrow (Sunday) because I just know that my rabbits and chickens and dogs miss me and that the zucchini are 2 feet long while the cucumbers are multiplying like rabbits. Mom was taking care of the house last week and she swore that she wasn't seeing that many cucumbers but I know what I left so I am betting that her eye sight isn't as good as it used to be.
450 miles a day used to be nothing but today it was something. Dave and I are getting older and 450 is now a stretch. We have on a couple of occasions rode as much as 750 miles in one day but the last time I swear I lost the feeling in my left gluteus maximus (yes I had to look up how to spell that and found it on Wikipedia so there is the link) for about a month so I could never do an Iron Butt and you better not ask me. As he is 10 years older than me, he was in some real pain and it was stop now or he might just fall over (something about his sciatica) so yeah, we are 335 miles away from home and cucumbers and dogs and my very favorite mattress and pillows.
More tomorrow…after I get to those pillows.

Working with Mallori at Gems & Stems was one of the best decisions I could have made about the planning and prep for my wedding. The centerpieces that Gems & Stems created for our tables were absolutely stunning. Without a doubt, they were my favorite part of the entire day. The bouquets, mine along with those of my bridesmaids, were all beautiful and were evidently put together with thought and delicacy. Mallori was very happy to work with me on cost and budget and was able to switch out certain items for others at last minute changes. She created a gorgeous flower set to adhere to our arch which we built ourselves. The arch, the tables, my photographs and my hair (Mallori ordered special roses and flowers for my hair) were perfect. Mallori and her team were willing to work with the ideas I had in mind, various table sizes and even made extra trips back and forth from her work studio in Somerville to our venue in Far Hills the day of to ensure that flowers were delivered at the right time and did not wilt. I couldn't ask for anything different, nor would I want to. I owe a huge thanks to Mallori and her team for putting her heart and care into the flowers that completed our wedding day and made it beautiful. I will return to her again for other events and recommend her any chance I get.

Gems & Stems was our florist for our wedding on August 12, 2016. I was very impressed with Mallory & Joe and how they came up with photos of what they envisioned for our wedding based on me answering a few questions. I told Mallori I felt as if she was reading my mind! She came up with a centerpiece idea that I hadn't thought of and made it very unique to our wedding. The flowers were delivered in a timely manner the day of the wedding and everything was perfectly set up when we arrived at the venue. The bouquets & centerpieces were beautiful and I loved how the colors came out. Our guests were complimenting us on how beautiful the flowers looked throughout the night. If you are looking for a florist to make your wedding vision come to a reality, definitely go to Gems n' Stems in downtown Somerville!
My husband and I went to Gems and Stems to complete our wedding floral designs. Working with Mallori was an absolute pleasure. She is incredibly sweet, extremely accommodating and so artistically creative that she will blow your mind with her products! She supplied the bridal bouquets, boutonnieres, corsages, church decorations and cake decorations for our wedding on July 9, 2016. She takes time to personalize a presentation for you based on your wants and desires for the flowers and arrangements you are looking for and provides helpful suggestions and advice to obtain the most amazing floral designs possible for your event! We absolutely recommend using Gems and Stems to have all of your dreams come true for your event!

annyeong ^^
well, i thought about my blog yesterday,
and i found that my blog only gave information about kpop ==a
actually my blog goal is to make you know all about korea, not only kpop
so i wanna post something new ! Traditional Korean Clothing ! (sorry, this posting is only about their official/court clothing, i'll post about the rest soon)
During the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910), symbols representing the wearer's rank began appearing on the hem of clothes. A dragon represented an empress and a phoenix represented a queen. Princesses and royal concubines wore floral patterns. High ranking court officials wore clouds and cranes. The color gold was also reserved for royalty throughout much of Korea's history. People of higher statuses wore much more ornate and expensive clothes than the commoners did.
Princesses wore this ritual attire during the Koryo (918-1392) and Chosun (1392-1910) Dynasties. The extreme cost of making a hwalot forced the common people to use nok wonsam instead. waw~ i wanna try to wear it xD
During the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910), royalty, high-ranking court ladies, and noble women wore a wonsam, a ceremonial topcoat. The color and decorations around the chest, shoulders, and back represent the rank of the wearer.
these are some types of wonsam:
hwang wonsam
worn by empress (hwang means gold)
woah~ it's so shining, *_*
hong wonsam
worn by queen (hong means red)
it's mine ! xD whaaha~ i love this one :D
nok wonsam
worn by princesses and was also used by commoners in marriage ceremonies (nok means green)
Kaesong wonsam
worn by nobility in the Kaesong region
this is the simplest i think :D
dangui represented minor ceremonial clothes for the queen, princess, or wife of a high ranking government official. Among the noble class, wives wore it for major ceremonies. Royal families had gold trim, while others had plain ones.
Myonbok and Cheokui (King's and Queen's Ceremonial Clothes)
Together, the with myonryugwan (headdress) and gonbok (clothes) comprised the myonbok outfit, the king's religious and formal ceremonial clothes during the Koryo (918-1392) and Chosun (1392-1910) Dynasties. The queen's outfit, Cheokui, originated from the Koryo Dynasty (918-1392). The design is based on a present from China's Empress Hoyja (Ming Dynasty).
The ch'eollik was worn by the king and various civil and military officials during the Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910). Military ?! i think this is the feminine one =__=a
The king wore the hwangp'o for daily clothes during the late Chosun Dynasty (1392-1910). waw~ love this one :D
aengsam ss formal clothing during the national government exam and governmental ceremonies for student ! wah~ well, i guess it will good on me :p xD
so, which one do you choose? ahaha ^^

Mercy, but we've had computer issues! First, thank you all so much for the comments you've left. They've been emailed to me (WordPress automatically emails them to you) and they've been such an encouragement. I have been able to receive emails, just not mail anything.
We're finally in Guangzhou, and one of the other guys from our group (who wasn't in Jiangxi with us) helped us get some security things off of my computer, as well as downloading a program so that we can use the internet. (My blog was no longer accessible for a while there.)
Anyways, I have put the posts from here onto my journeytome site, along with pictures, which is what I know everybody wants to see, anyways! I have gotten it almost caught up, but it's now after midnight, and I need to get some sleep. Within the next day or so, we should be able to have it all caught up to present. (Oh…I stilll can't send emails 😦 )
I love y'all and miss everybody, and although it's great to experience China, Tian's birthplace, we are so ready to come home to our precious family. Clay, Mary, Sam, Anne….know that we love you and are thinking of you and praying for you, too.

Recently announced at the Microsoft 2014 E3 Media Briefing, Rise of the Tomb Raider was only known to be coming to the Xbox One, until now. Amazon.uk has listed the next Tomb Raider game for pre-order on PS4, PS3, Xbox 360, Xbox One and PC.
The American site, Amazon.com, currently has Rise of the Tomb Raider listed only for Xbox One. It is possibly that Amazon.uk leaked this information earlier than planned by publisher Square Enix.
The second game in the Tomb Raider Reboot looks to pick up where the last game left off, as a young Lara Croft adjusts to the trauma she experienced on the island and takes further steps towards becoming the legendary explorer we know and love.
Rise of the Tomb Raider is slated for a Holiday 2015 release.

DENVER (AP) Up-and-coming youngsters Nolan Arenado and Corey Dickerson are helping to fill Colorado's power vacuum in the absence of injured sluggers Troy Tulowitzki and Carlos Gonzalez.
Arenado hit a go-ahead, three-run homer and Dickerson followed with his second long ball of the game to lead the Rockies past the San Francisco Giants 9-2 on Wednesday.
''It's nice to know that we've got some young guys here than can make an impact,'' Arenado said. ''Obviously, the experience level, we don't have it like Tulo and CarGo, but the chemistry is good with young guys. They want to play hard and they want to win.''
Dickerson said getting the chance to play now and producing will help the Rockies down the road.
''Those guys that are hurt, they're All-Stars and they're going to be All-Stars every year,'' Dickerson said. ''For us to be able to produce at this level right now is good for us because that gives us that much more confidence going into next year.''
Another young player, Christian Bergman (2-2), pitched six sharp innings and limited the Giants to two runs on nine hits while helping the Rockies take the season series 10-9. It is the first time Colorado has won the season series with its NL West rival since going 11-7 against the Giants in 2008.
Ryan Vogelsong (8-10) was roughed up for a career-high four home runs among 10 hits allowed in five-plus innings. He gave up eight runs, matching a career high, in another tough outing at Coors Field. Vogelsong gave up three homers and five runs in 1 1-3 innings during his last appearance at Colorado on April 21.
''I've seen plenty of games here to know the ball flies, especially during the day,'' Vogelsong said. ''And every kind of bloop shot falls in, because the guys got to play so deep. Their infield grass is really quick, too, so it seems like a lot of groundballs get through that in most places don't. You combine that all together and it can make for a long day.''
Buster Posey drove in both San Francisco runs with a sacrifice fly and an RBI single.
With Colorado up 5-2, Michael McKenry started a four-run sixth by connecting on a 3-2 offering from Vogelsong for his sixth home run of the season. D.J. LeMahieu and pinch-hitter Kyle Parker hit successive singles, and Juan Gutierrez relieved Vogelsong. One out later, Josh Rutledge tripled both runners home.
Vogelsong was trying to protect a 2-1 lead in the fifth when he issued a two-out walk to Rutledge. Justin Morneau singled and Arenado connected for his 15th home run with a drive into the left-field bleachers.
Dickerson, who led off the second with a shot into the second deck above the Rockies bullpen for his first homer, followed by driving Vogelsong's first pitch over the left-field fence for his 22nd of the season and second career multihomer game. It was the third time this season Rockies batters have gone back-to-back, and the first since Troy Tulowitzki and Dickerson did it May 10 at Cincinnati.
Giants: CF Angel Pagan was a late scratch from the lineup because of back stiffness. OF Michael Morse missed a third consecutive game since straining his oblique during batting practice Monday. Manager Bruce Bochy has said Morse will likely miss the upcoming series in Detroit but could be ready to go when the Giants return to San Francisco next week. 3B Pablo Sandoval was given a day off by Bochy, who described his rugged infielder as ''pretty beat up.''
Rockies: OF-INF Michael Cuddyer (strained left hamstring) has resumed baseball activities and expects to be ready to come off the 15-day disabled list when he's eligible on Monday.
Giants: After an off day in Detroit, RHP Jake Peavy (3-4) will pitch the opener of a three-game set against the Tigers in his eighth start for San Francisco since being acquired from Boston in late July.
Rockies: Following an off day Thursday for the team, LHP Tyler Matzek (4-9) will go for a third consecutive win against San Diego.
Giants: The last San Francisco pitcher to give up four home runs in a game was Matt Cain on May 18, 2008, against the Chicago White Sox. ... Hunter Pence extended his hitting streak to 16 games with a first-inning single.
Rockies: Dickerson has been involved all three times the Rockies have homered in consecutive at-bats this season.

BRONXVILLE, N.Y. - A Bronxville High School history teacher has channeled his personal experiences of mental peacefulness into a novel dedicated to helping his contemporaries incorporate such acts into their curriculum.
Bill Meyer has penned "The Enlightened Teacher: A Manual for Meditation in the Classroom," a novel that stems from his personal experiences with meditation and extensive research on the subject, exploring the academic and wellness benefits that develop when educators incorporate mindfulness in the classroom.
Meyer has been incorporating meditation into his classes for nearly a decade, including the foundation of the Meditation Club at the high school six years ago. He has also participated in mindfulness and educational conferences around the country, creating a "cohort of mindfulness fellows to welcome guest speakers to the district."
"The benefits of mindfulness are well-documented from the emotional and social support it can provide students, its ability to foster greater concentration, an overall sense of peace, but more than anything I think it helps us to connect back to ourselves in a world where so much is drawing us outward," Meyer said.
According to the district, in addition to exploring the academic and wellness benefits that develop when teachers incorporate meditation and mindfulness into their curriculum, the book will also feature guided meditation prompts.
"The Enlightened Teacher: A Manual for Meditation in the Classroom" is scheduled for release in 2019.
"Mediation is a powerful tool to open students up and allow them the opportunity to access the gifts that reside within them," Meyer said. "If we can help students foster an authentic connection with themselves, they can more authentically engage and serve the world and community around them."

text: I just bought a Squier Precision Special 5. The reviews that I've read suggest that a pickup swap is nearly mandatory...and I'll probably get to that. I've been thinking that stringing the B string through the body (rather than just the bridge) might be a good idea on this 34 in. scale instrument. I know that metal and wood working would be required, which I'm not afraid of. I realize that the warranty would probably be gone...but I bought the bass for only $179 brand new (don't know why as Sam Ash had a black one hanging below it for $249) so it's not a huge risk to take (and since I'd do a good job, they might not even notice should I need warranty neck work). Any opinions on whether this would be worth the effort? If it seems like a good idea, do you see any benefits of doing all 5 strings? My MIM P has a B/A II which works well strung through the bridge, but I also like the feel/sound of my through-body strung basses (MIA HR P and MIA Urge).

But this link-up was too good to pass up.. Adriana, Allie, Brittany, Juliette, and Sami are geniuses.
My 21st was on a Saturday, which meant celebrating ALL WEEKEND LONG.
However, my birthday is in January. Which just puts a huge bummer on everything. Also I was one of the first people in my group of friends to turn 21. Lame. Really, really lame.
Friday night before my birthday my roommate (who i'm not even friends with anymore) at the time threw me a huge house party. Things got so out of hand. I RAN the beer pong table. Which is odd, because I'm typically just okay, maybe borderline good, but I was excellent this night. Or maybe everyone was throwing their games, but that's unlikely because there were a lot of competitive assholes there.
We took shots. Many shots.
I mostly remember going to bed, but I do NOT remember when my guy friend got in bed with me, but I do remember waking up with him in there.
Fully clothed, people. I know, not what you were expecting.
Then I got up bright and early Saturday morning, the morning of my birth, and went to get my new license. I'm fairly certain I was still drunk, which explains why I look drunk in my drivers license photo. Yay me.
Saturday night my parents, the few of my friends who were 21, and some of my parents friends took me out.
OH but not before I drank an entire bottle of wine while getting dressed for the night. Which explains my hideous 21st birthday outfit. I cringe every time I see it. I was not into fashion or dressing up or anything back then.
Then we went to Nick's (a local sports bar and pizza place type thing) and played Sink The Biz. With Blue Moon. Best/Worst idea ever!
I was supposed to go to a winery on Sunday, but I had to cancel because I was sick. So awfully sick. Non-stop drinking for 36 hours will do that to you.
Honestly my 22nd birthday was way better than my 21st. 1000x better!
Can't wait to read about everyone's 21st because mine wasn't that great.. Bummer..

I generally don't smoke Connecticut Shade-Grown wrapped cigars, as I find them to be a bit light for my tastes, but every so often I'll try one that has an unusual binder/filler combination that promises to make it particularly satisfying. I just found one of those— the Alec Bradley Maxx Connecticut.
The particular stick I tested was The Culture, a 6.5 by 54 toro gorda. The wrapper was typical of top-quality Connecticut; thin, a light golden color and few noticeable veins. The aroma of the unlit cigar was hay-like with a little earthiness. I used a double guillotine to shave the top of the cap as I don't like punches for larger ring gauges. The pre-light draw was free and easy, almost a bit too easy, but the cigar was uniformly firm, so my concerns were somewhat assuaged. The same notes I detected in the unlit aroma returned; hay and earth, with an additional grassy element creeping in. I toasted the foot and lit up.

The OC&C Proposition Index is a major piece of consumer research conducted annually, measuring shopper perception of the strength of different retail propositions.
Consumers were asked to systematically rate retailers they had shopped at on their overall offer, and across different elements of their proposition (such as price, service, etc). From this, customer perception of the strength of retail propositions can be benchmarked, and "Champion Retailers" identified who are setting the standard, not just for their category, but for all of retail. Scoring highly in the index is not just a measure of customer satisfaction, but also an indicator of potential for long term revenue growth. On average, retailers ranked in the top third of the OC&C Proposition Index have delivered annual growth over the last 5 years 10% faster than those in the bottom third. Amazon was again rated by shoppers as the UK's favourite retailer ...

Samantha Smith made worldwide news in the early 1980s when she wrote the Soviet president, Yuri Andropov, pleading with him to end the "Cold War." Her letter was reprinted with Russia, Andropov replied and invited her to his country, she and her parents visited the communist country, and she was an instant celebrity there. She became a peace activist, calling for the United States and Soviet Union to end the threat of nuclear war. In 1985, at the height of her very public campaign, she and her father were among eight people to die in a plane crash in her home state of Maine. She was an optimistic and enthusiastic advocate. She reached millions in life and was remembered by millions more in death. The Soviets posthumously issued a postage stamp in her honor and named a mountain after her. Her mother, Jane Smith, started The Samantha Smith Foundation, "dedicated to fostering international understanding," to reach out to especially children from the Soviet region and participate in various exchange program activities. Jane wrote, "Each generation contributes a building block for the next generation. As individuals, we are particles of earth from which the blocks are formed. I hope Samantha and Arthur have helped us realize how important each one of us can be. Samantha couldn't accept people's inhumanity to one another. She stood fast in the belief that peace can be achieved and maintained by humankind. Our Foundation named in her honor will work in that spirit" (www.samanthasmith.info).
What a difference one person can make! Samantha was only 13 when she died, but she was a factor in reconciling to warring nations. Christ came to this earth to bring peace between God and man (Eph. 2:14-17). Having brought us together, He expects us to reconcile the world to God (2 Cor. 5:19-20). Perhaps you think you cannot make much of a difference in this world as only a single Christian with whatever your perceived limitations. Just remember how much one person can do! There was the apostle from Tarsus. There was Alexander Campbell, Marshall Keeble, Gus Nichols, and many others. There is you and there is me. Who knows the good we can accomplish as ambassadors of Christ? Let's work our hardest to find out!

Hungarian Steppe Cattle) to graze the field to protect the habitat of Red-footed Falcons in the southern area of Heves county. Photo: Peter Komka / MTI
"The breed probably arrived with the 9th century Hungarian immigration from the east to the Hungarian lowlands. In the Middle Ages and early modern times the breed was used as a draught animal but from 1861 has been bred for early maturity and its beef quality, being herded live to the markets of Europe. Nowadays Hungarian Grey cattle are kept mainly as tourist attractions in the Hortobágy National Park and other Hungarian national parks. Small herds may be found in a few other places, e.g. Bocfölde, Western Hungary. These herds serve as gene banks, due to their reported resistance to cattle diseases which affect more highly bred cattle types. By 1975 there were only 300 cows left in two herds, but numbers have since increased." - wikipedia

Michael Porter (libraryman) has been talking about Netflix and fee-based services. It's good stuff – go read and think! That's what I did, hence this post… here's my off-the-cuff thinking about the Netflix model and charging patrons for value-added services.
This can work just like a web 2.0 company's services. Let's use Flickr as an example: Flickr's basic service is free, but to become a "pro" member, you're charged $24.95 per year. Lots of users never mess with the Pro part, and use the free service happily; others start out with the free service, and then decide to upgrade to the pro, fee-based service for ease-of-use, more bells and whistles, more storage space, etc. So there's a definite tiered, free-to-fee approach to their services.
Now let's combine that tiered model with the Netflix/library thing… let's allow patrons to check out videos for free (we already do this). Even place holds on them (again, we already do this). But then let's jump a little off the deep end and offer an upgraded, "extreme movie addict" service that's fee-based: if you pay a paltry fee, you're entitled to services the "free" patrons can't get, like:
- weighted holds, so you're first in line for videos
- mail or courier delivery of videos to your door
- a cool newsletter/blog/email that provides stuff others can't get (hmm… things like tickets to early screenings [need to work with community here], maybe invitations to a celebrity event, etc)
- personalized movie advisory guide – the "if you liked this movie, you'll like…" type of service – but focused on the individual, fee-based customers
- ahem … a Friends of the Library membership…
- etc
The idea here is that:
- the fee would help pay for the added service
- this community-based version of a Netflix-like model would be friendly, personalized, and close to home – therefore more desirable than Netflix, et al.
- the normal, friendly, and free library service wouldn't change – you'd just charge extra for the value-added, personalized, bells-and-whistles service
And now, let's jump off the high dive – let's not stop at videos. How about the rest of our content? What can we do to add some personalized, desirable, bells-and-whistles services to the rest of the library? Home book delivery? Emails from a friendly librarian telling me there's a cool new fantasy novel out, and it's already been placed on hold just for me (because I pay $25 a year for the service)?
So… am I off my rocker here? Let me know!

Hey Pixies!
So I've been absent from the world of blogging for nearly 5 months!! And I know I shouldn't make excuses but my life has been a tad manic! During the start of summer I was doing my GCSEs (a right barrel of laughs as you can imagine!), then I went on holiday shortly after and then for the rest of the summer have been cramming in as much socialising and much needed down time after exam stress as I possibly can!
To be completely honest I was so tempted just to jack all of this in as I really thought blogging wasn't for me and thought I was pretty (for want of a better word) shit at it!
But then I remembered that this itsy bitsy space of internet is all mine to do whatever I want with so really it's impossible to be shit right?
So I am really planning to put so much more into it now and learn to love it! With a little help from my best friend Amy I hope to give it a wee makeover, which I'm hoping will motivate me to create lots of decent content, which is always a good thing eh?
Oh and one more thing - I am currently in the process of uploading my first Youtube video.... Ah! For a New Years resolution you can tell I'm really up to date! Ha cut me some slack I have had a rather busy year! I won't link it yet as I'm going to give it a bit of time but eek how scary!!
Thanks for Reading!x

La noche de los Mayas
About the WorkComposer: Silvestre Revueltas
© Richard Freed
Revueltas composed his score for Chano Urueta's film La noche de los mayas ("The Night of the Mayas") in 1939. Some twenty years after the composer's death, his compatriot Jos? Ives Limantour went through this score and edited portions of it to form the concert suite, which was given its premiere by the Guadalajara Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Ives Limantour, on January 30, 1961. A stunning cadenza for the expanded percussion in the final movement was added by Enrique Arturo Diemecke, the conductor of the Orquesta Sinf?nica Nacional de M?xico, about fifteen years ago, with the permission of the Revueltas family. It is the Diemecke edition that is used in this week's performances, the first given by the National Symphony Orchestra since Leonard Slatkin introduced the work into the orchestra's repertory in a percussion festival in October 2001, with performances at home on the 5th and 6th, and at Carnegie Hall on the 13th.
The score calls for 2 flutes doubling piccolo, 2 oboes, 2 B-flat clarinets doubling E-flat clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 3 trumpets, 2 trombones, tuba, timpani, bass drum, 2 snare drums (one without snare), bongos, Indian drum, tom tom, deep conga, caracol (conch shell), guiro, metal rattle, tam-tam, tumkul (2 deep woodblocks of different pitch), xylophone, piano, and strings. Duration, 32 minutes.
Revueltas lived the sort of life on which romantic fiction is built. He was an impulsive, idealistic, tragic figure, with a classic disregard for practicality or materialism. His family was poor and constantly on the move, and yet he was able to begin serious musical training when he was eight years old and to pursue his studies on increasingly higher levels in both Mexico and the United States. He entered the National Conservatory in Mexico City before he was 15, and went from there to St. Edward College in Austin, Texas, and the Chicago Musical College (where one of his teachers was the composer, conductor and critic Felix Borowski). On a second sojourn in Chicago, in his early twenties, Revueltas continued his violin studies under the visiting European masters Otakar ?evc?k and Paul Koch?nski, and later in the same decade he was in the U.S. twice again, playing in a theater orchestra in San Antonio and conducting one in Mobile, Alabama. In 1928 Mexico's pre-eminent musical figure Carlos Ch?vez, who had accompanied Revueltas in his Mexican recitals, invited him to return as assistant conductor of the newly created Orquesta Sinf?nica Nacional de M?xico, and Revueltas shifted his performing emphasis from violin to conducting. It was during his six seasons with Ch?vez's orchestra that he became a composer and was drawn into political activism.
After teaching at the National Conservatory, conducting its student orchestra, and making an unsuccessful attempt to establish a new professional orchestra in Mexico City, Revueltas followed his anti-fascist sympathies to Spain during that country's civil war, to work in the Loyalist government's cultural section. His various commitments drove him to alcoholism and left him exhausted, physically, emotionally and financially. His ballet for children, El renacuajo paseador ("The Strutting Tadpole"), received its premiere on the night he died. Some 36 years later his remains were moved, with a fitting ceremony, from their original modest resting place to the Rotonda de los Hombres Ilustres in Mexico City.
Revueltas did not respond to conventional forms. Although he did write string quartets early in his early years, symphonies and concertos do not figure among his compositions. He excelled in brief descriptive pieces--the best-known being his orchestral fantasy Sensemay?, based on the Cuban poet Nicol?s Giull?n's verses on the ritual killing of a snake--and in music for the movies. He was one of the earliest composers to distinguish themselves in the creation of film scores, and his music for the Mexican government's 1936 documentary Redes ("Nets," also known as "The Wave," the subject being fishermen) became one of his most successful concert works in the form of the suites arranged by the famous Viennese conductor Erich Kleiber (the father of the late Carlos Kleiber). This was perhaps Revueltas's happiest m?tier; he composed six more film scores after Redes, and it was his penultimate effort in that genre that gave us, in a posthumous arrangement by another Mexican musician, the closest thing we have to a symphony by him, the colorful and impactive suite that concludes this week's concerts.
The decade of the 1930s was a remarkable one for all the arts in Mexico. Ch?vez was busily solidifying and expanding the foundations of the country's musical life, the work of the painter Diego Rivera was everywhere (like Rivera, Revueltas's short-lived younger brother Ferm?n was a muralist), and the country's film industry was one of the most active and adventurous in the world. La noche de los mayas, directed by Chano Urueta in 1939, was built around the idea that the Mayans, a morally and intellectually superior people, were confidently awaiting a sign from their gods to rise up and reclaim their ancient land for the benefit of all its inhabitants. While the film itself has been written off as a failure, the score Revueltas provided for it proved to be one of Mexico's musical treasure.
The suite assembled by Limantour stands as the largest in scale of all Revueltas's concert works, and the closest of them to a symphony. Its four-part structure also offers a sort of parallel to the similarly proportioned one Virgil Thomson produced from his own score for Pare Lorentz's 1937 documentary The River--a parallel in the sense that neither of these suites is a mere pastiche of fetching fragments, each being nothing less than a full-scale descriptive symphony, faithful both to symphonic structure and to the dramatic sense of the music's original function. The four movements of Revueltas's "posthumous symphony" may be summarized as follows:
I. NOCHE DE LOS MAYAS (Molto sostenuto) is an atmospheric piece, mysterious, brooding, suggesting perhaps mighty powers now dormant, images of volcanoes and pyramids. The middle section is brighter and lyrical, but the movement ends as it began.
II. NOCHE DE JARANAS (Scherzo, "Night of Revelry"). Jarana is not only a Spanish term for "revelry," but in Mexico the name of a particular dance form in which Spanish and native influences are blended. Experts in such matters suggest likenesses to the huapango, the jarabe and the son. This scherzo fairly bursts with activity and stunning colors, and is filled with surprising and frequently humorous turns. It is quite a workout for the orchestra, and for the large percussion section in particular.
III. NOCHE DE YUCAT?N (Andante espressivo). The "slow movement" alludes to the Yucat?n peninsula as home to the Mayans in their magnificent second period. This nocturne is not so much mystical as straightforwardly voluptuous and impassioned. The strings carry the main burden, with imaginative support from clarinets, horns and tuba. Less voluptuous but more touchingly intimate is an interlude in which a solo flute, accompanied by an Indian drum and rattle, introduces the gently melancholy tune of a Mayan song still sung in parts of Yucat?n, the Xtoles, a paean to the day's end and twilight. When the strings resume the opening material they are muted, and this passage leads without pause to the final and most elaborate movement.
IV. NOCHE DE ENCANTAMIENTO (Theme and Variations, "Night of Enchantment") begins in an atomosphere of heightened tension and anticipation. After about a minute and a half comes the aforementioned cadenza devised by Enrique Diemecke, based on various works of Revueltas: material for gu?ro (a notched gourd, of Cuban origin) and native tambourine, recognizable as having come from the second movement of this suite; a drum figure from the Homenaje a Garc?a Lorca; a xylophone motif from Sensemay?. Once the variations get under way, the music becomes increasingly charged and frenzied. The listener is not likely to notice the transition from one variation to the next, but rather to be swept up in the almost frightening momentum and abandon of the music, as the brasses give out primordial chants and the percussion become more and more assertive, not merely punctuating the rhythm but driving the whole unstoppable and ever expanding force of the wild celebration--a grand sacrificial dance, perhaps, which, like the one at the end of Stravinsky's Rite of Spring, does not so much come to an end as simply exhaust itself.

Lawyers: Trump Tower guards assaulted clients
A group of Mexican immigrants is accusing security guards at Donald Trump's Trump Tower of assaulting them and destroying their property, according to their lawyers.
The immigrants were demonstrating outside the Manhattan building when they say they had their civil rights violated.
The alleged incident was caught on camera. The attorneys say their clients were on a public sidewalk and were protesting peacefully.
"The Trump guards grabbed tow of our clients and yanked them down the street," says attorney Roger Bernstein.
Representatives for Donald Trump's presidential campaign have not yet responded to a News 12 request for comment. In a previous statement, the campaign had said that the protesters had assaulted a member of Trump's security team.

FirstLook® Prospecting Tool Covers the World
Most accurate, consistent, comprehensive global wind dataset just a click away at 3TIER Web site
SEATTLE (Jan. 29, 2009) - 3TIER today announced the expansion of its FirstLook® Prospecting tool, now providing free access to average wind speed ranges anywhere in the world, through a dynamic 5 km resolution map. Using the most accurate, consistent and comprehensive dataset ever created, FirstLook provides a fast, Web-based assessment tool to globally prospect for viable wind energy generation locations.
"This intuitive and interactive tool provides a free, initial assessment of global wind resources," said Kenneth Westrick, CEO and founder of 3TIER, one the largest independent providers of global renewable energy assessment and forecasting. "We developed this map as part of REmapping the World,' a sophisticated renewable energy resource mapping initiative we launched in March 2008 to address the biggest barrier to global renewable energy adoption - the lack of information."
To navigate the map and find out more about FirstLook Prospecting visit: http://firstlook.3tier.com
"The map's underlying dataset provides the information developers, financiers and governments need to target the best regions in the world for data collection and higher resolution studies," Westrick said. "In short, this map and dataset shorten the process needed to make sound decisions about where to invest in wind energy generation."
As renewable energy developers identify promising wind resources, they can augment FirstLook's initial wind assessment by purchasing FirstLook Assessment Reports, detailed reports that provide a more in-depth estimate of wind resources at specific locations.
Available in just minutes, a FirstLook Wind Assessment Report includes:
� Average annual wind speed for the area around your site (50 km by 50 km or 31 miles by 31 miles).
� Average monthly wind speed and standard of error for each month of the year.
� The distribution of hourly wind speeds throughout the year.
� A wind rose for all hourly wind speeds during the year.
� The average hourly wind speed and standard of error for each hour of the day.
� Wind roses for each month of the year.
� Daily wind speed patterns for each month of the year.
"By providing a more in-depth look at the estimated wind regime in a given location, FirstLook reports bridge the gap between basic prospecting and the deployment of additional observational resources," Westrick said. "They provide a scientifically rigorous, but cost-effective method of evaluating a potential site for further assessment."
FirstLook Assessment Reports are currently available for the United States, Canada, and Mexico. Reports for additional regions will be made available throughout the year as the datasets are validated to the standard of accuracy established for the United States.
To produce the 5 km wind map and the underlying dataset, 3TIER implemented an innovative physical-statistical modeling approach.
Unlike traditional models that merely interpolate observed wind speeds between widely dispersed points, 3TIER's system integrates statistical methods with the power of physical-based models, which simulate the interaction between the atmosphere and the earth's surface, to create a more robust and accurate wind climatology. That means the myriad processes responsible for wind - from jet level dynamics to surface level processes and everything in between - are accounted for in these models. They are able to create realistic wind fields throughout the world, with the results especially enlightening in regions where observations are not available.
3TIER ran its model through a 10-year simulation across the world's landmass at a 5 km resolution. The results then were calibrated and validated with observational data to create the final dataset and, ultimately, the world wind map.
"Our model produced more than a petabyte of data, which was combined with available observations to create the richest, most accurate and quantifiable dataset available at the global scale," Westrick said. "This project took nearly a year to complete, and the data shows we achieved our goal of finding the optimal blend between computer modeling technologies and observations."
To learn more about the science, methodology and global validation statistics of the map and dataset, a white paper is also available through FirstLook.
3TIER also is mapping the world's solar resources. In October 2008, 3TIER released the first comprehensive, contiguous, high-resolution solar map for the entire Western Hemisphere. The dataset 3TIER developed to create the solar map is approximately three times the resolution of existing industry solar data standards for the United States and is the only database today that covers all of North, Central and South America.
In addition to FirstLook, 3TIER provides a full suite of assessment and forecasting products for wind, hydro and solar energy projects. 3TIER uses its knowledge about weather, climate and their impacts on weather-driven renewable energy resources to help clients make better decisions about their investments - before, during and after their projects are built.
Founded in 1999, Seattle-based 3TIER is one of the largest independent providers of wind, solar and hydro energy assessment and power forecasting worldwide. People around the world turn to 3TIER when they want the best scientific information to make decisions about renewable energy projects � from the prospecting stage to operations.

Going inside our bodies can be absolutely terrifying, so we avoid it at all costs which is totally understandable. What we need to do is titrate, that is, go slowly, bit by bit, until the stored pain and hurt can be felt and released. This isn't always what we want to hear when we're suffering, we want it gone yesterday, but it doesn't work like that. It has usually taken years for pain to accumulate and it will take time to sift through it, otherwise we risk extreme overwhelm which is counterproductive and can set us back and make us even more afraid of our pain. Try the following statements to help you find the courage to go inside at a pace that feels safe and comfortable for you. Repeat whatever feels right on the points, diagram here.
Even though I'm afraid to go inside, I accept how I feel
Even though I get overwhelmed by all the stuff stored inside, I don't know where to start, I'll do it at my own pace and I'll do it with help
Even though a part of me doesn't want to feel what's inside, another part knows I have to feel it, or it will keep showing up in ways I don't like, I accept this conflict and how both parts of me feel
Even though I'm scared of this mountain of hurt, it's too big for me, I accept that it's absolutely ok to be afraid

Jim McGoldrick, Collector
At age 93, Jim McGoldrick is still driving wooden boats. Boats and racing have been a lifelong obsession for McGoldrick. He won his first race at the tender age of twelve and has raced, restored and collected dozens of wooden boats over the years.
He keeps many of his exceptional boats at his home on the shores of Lake Pend Oreille. Jim and his wife Milaine have acquired quite a collection over the years. While several vessels stand at the ready at his lakeside docks he has even more boats in a large garage behind his house. He calls it the Yesterday Museum.
"All these are my collection. I wanted to preserve all those things that we had. We didn't have all these here exactly then but I wanted to collect some items for my children or grandchildren or something like that to see how things changed. Those kinds of things if you had a big building like this you could save them, save them for the coming generations. And we found out that everyone of that following generation has been very interested in it. That was why we put them in the shop here so that people could see what we had. That Century runabout was a neat little boat in the '30's. It is very unique. It is a collector's item and I'm a collector. I have been an enthusiast of wooden boats my whole life. It didn't have to make a comeback. It gets in your blood."

My second layout this month was inspired by the colours in Tanner's hat.
Usually I try and use different treatments for my chipboard on my
layouts but this time I have used embossing powder on all the pieces.
Once again, I have taken a piece, this time the Hessian Patch,
and used it as a base to start my photo cluster.
One of my new fave sets is the Doodled Arrows. I love how I was
able to have it looped around the photo almost like it's a part of the title.
My layout has been embellished with pieces from the Triangle Set.
This Sweet Cheeks title was just perfect for this page.
And how good to those Triangle chippies look?
The perfect embellishment.
Thanks so much for joining me this month.
