The following story is from the book, The West Texas Frontier, by Joseph Carroll McConnell.
May 18, 1871, the next day after General Sherman, Gen. Marcy, and their escorts passed over the road between Fort Belknap and Fort Richardson, and two years and two days after the famous Salt Creek Fight, a wagon train, loaded with corn, and belonging to Capt. Henry Warren, who was a contractor at Ft. Griffin, was attacked by Chief Satanta, Satauk, (Satank), Big Tree, and perhaps other chiefs in command of about 100 warriors, not a great distance from Flat Top Mountain, about half-way between Fort Richardson and Fort Belknap, and on the identical road over which Gen. Sherman, Gen. Marcy and others passed during the preceding day. The train, when attacked, was under the command of Nathan S. Long, wagon-master. Many warriors were armed with the most modern rifles, known at that time. The teamsters were as helpless as children, Nathan Long, John Mullins, J. S. and Samuel Elliot, B. J. Baxter, Jesse Bowman, and James Williams, were killed. Thomas Brazeale was seriously wounded, but escaped, and R. A. Day, and Charles Brady, escaped unharmed. Samuel Elliott was burned to death. The savages chained him to the wheel of a wagon so he could not move, and then built a fire around his feet. It was difficult for Gen. Sherman, Gen. Mary and others to believe that the Indians had committed such crimes. After making a personal investigation, Col. McKenzie reported to Gen. Sherman that the report was true, as related. Thomas Brazeale, the wounded man, also found his way to Jacksboro, and related how the savage tigers from the reservation near Ft. Sill sprang upon the defenseless teamsters, killed seven of their number, one of whom was burned to death, and carried away about forty mules, as well as such other things that seemed to suit their fancy.
This example of savage butchery has often been referred to as the Monument Fight, for after it happened, Capt. Henry Warren erected a nicely painted wooden monument where the tragedy occurred. We are told that this monument decayed and disappeared many years ago.
William Tecumseh Sherman, General of the Army, traveled north on an inspection tour of the forts. He was accompanied by Inspector General Randolph B. Marcy, who had been retained by United States government twenty years prior for several explorations, including, blazing a southern route to Santa Fe, locating the head waters of the Brazos and the Red Rivers and, with Major Neighbors, establishing suitable locations for the Indian Reservations. Sherman and Marcy were accompanied by two staff members and only fifteen calvary men.
Mackenzie dispatched his Adjutant, R. G. Carter, and a detachment to intercept and escort the General and his party. This precaution was prudent, considering the 80 plus miles the party traveled between Ft. Griffin and Ft. Richardson, at its midpoint, crossed the Salt Creek Prairie, considered one of the most dangerous places on the entire United States frontier. These were the closest settlements to the Indian Territory (United States Indian Policy did not allow pursuit of the Indians onto the Reservations) so they were not only most convenient targets of short raids-, but also the first and last targets of opportunity for longer raids.
Sherman gracefully declined Carter's assistance indicating an air of nonchalance which suited his political philosophy about the degree of danger presented by Indians. When Marcy pointed out to Sherman that the area was dramatically less inhabited than it was when he had passed through there twenty years prior, Sherman pointed out the houses were spaced far apart and did not indicate serious concern on the part of the builders for Indian defense.
Sherman believed a large portion of the raiders to be ex-Confederate renegades, and he had written to General J. J. Reynolds, commander of the department of Texas:
"I have seen not a trace of an Indian thus far, and only hear stories of people which indicate that what ever Indians there be, only come to Texas to steal horses... and the people within a hundred miles of the frontier ought to take precautions such as all people do against all sort of thieves... but up to this point the people manifest no fears or apprehensions, for they expose women and children singly on the road and in cabins far off from others as though they were in Illinois."
Sherman's party crossed Salt Creek unaware that they were being watched by a Kiowa raiding party of one hundred fifty warriors, led by Chiefs Satank and Satanta, accompanied by the mysterious medicine man, Maman-ti. Upon their ascension to the top of the hill, Maman-ti consulted with his owl, a symbol of death to the Kiowa. They feared even to look at an owl, which was fortunate for Maman-ti because his was only an owl skin with button eyes; he could blow air into the owl skin causing the wings to flap. He told the braves the owl warned against attacking the first target they saw, but glory would be theirs if they waited for the second. Luckily for Sherman, they saw his party first. Sometime later, traveling in the opposite direction towards Ft. Griffin, the Warren wagon train and its teamsters were the unfortunate ones.
Satanta (White Bear) blew his trumpet signaling the attack. As they charged, the drivers attempted to circle their wagons. Addo-etta (Big Tree) and Yellow Wolf cut off the lead mules, scoring the first two coups. The teamsters opened fire, wounding --Red War Bonnet, a Kiowa, and killing Or-dlee, a Comanche. Big Tree shot one of the drivers out of his seat. Light-Haired-Young-Man, a Kiowa-Apache, was knocked off his horse and carried from the fight.
The warriors circled the train, their fire killing three more drivers and wounding a fourth. The remaining seven bolted through a gap in the -circling Indians and sprinted -toward the timber around Cox Mountain. Two more died as they ran and a third was injured. The Indians didn't pursue them into the timber, returning to their primary interest, the booty in the wagons. They continued circling the train, unsure of the number of defenders still remaining. An inexperienced young Kiowa, named Hautau (Gun Shot), charged a wagon. As he touched the canvas to claim it, Samuel Elliott, lying wounded inside the wagon, shot him in the face. Elliott was overtaken and chained, face down, to a wagon tongue and roasted over a slow fire.
At this time in Ft. Richardson, Sherman was receiving local citizens who related their individual accounts of the Indian atrocities they had encountered. The settlers recounted hundreds of deaths, and kidnappings in the depredations which had occurred over the last decade. Sherman was polite but unmoved, and spent the evening at a reception in his honor attended by the officers and their wives. Later that night he was awakened from his sleep and informed of the fate of the wagon train on the road he had just crossed. Now visibly moved, he ordered Mackenzie to take a detachment to investigate the report, and if true, to pursue the raiders even to the Reservation.
Mackenzie departed with four cavalry companies consisting of over two hundred men, and headed west along the Butterfield Road in a heavy rain storm. Confirming the report, Mackenzie searched to the north for over 20 days with no success. On June 4th, the detachment arrived at Ft. Sill to find the leaders of the raid in chains and Sherman already departed, continuing his inspection tour into Missouri.
A Quaker Indian agent, Lauwrie Tatum and Colonel Grierson, commander of Ft. Sill, greeted General Sherman upon his arrival at the fort on May 23. When informed about the wagon train massacre at Salt Creek, Tatum stated that Satanta's tribe was reported off the reservation and he would make inquiries, several days later when Indians picked up their rations. When asked, Satanta, in a proud statement, had not only condemned himself, but also Big Tree, Satank and Eagle Heart as accomplices.
When given the information, Sherman, lacking authority to make arrest on the reservation, asked Tatum to call the chiefs to a meeting on the porch of Colonel Grierson's home at the Fort Sill. A large number of chiefs gathered and Satanta again confirmed that it was he that had led the raid, and if anyone said different, they would be a liar. Sherman stated that Satanta, Satank, Big Tree and Eagle Heart were under arrest and would be sent to Texas to stand trial for murder, and that the Kiowa tribe would be responsible for returning the mules stolen in the raid.
Satanta then changed his story, saying he only went along to blow his bugle (signaling commands to his warriors and confusing the commands given by the army) and observe the young men learning to be warriors. Kicking Bird offered to produce a large number of mules in retribution, but pleaded that they not arrest the chiefs.
Then the shutters around the porch banged open and dozens of previously concealed soldiers brought their rifles to bear on the gathered Indians who had weapons concealed beneath their blankets. In the next few seconds, one warrior was killed and Eagle Heart escaped. The remaining three suspect chiefs were arrested and put in irons and confined awaiting their deportation to Texas.
On the morning of June 8th, Mackenzie and his troops left Ft. Sill, escorting the wagon containing the three manacled chiefs on their way to stand trial in Jacksboro. Satank told a Caddo scout "Tell my people I died beside the road. My bones will be found there. Tell my people to gather them up and carry them away." The old chief then covered his head with a blanket and began his death song.
Over the next mile he had chewed enough of his hand off to escape a manacle. With a concealed knife, he stabbed one of the guards in the wagon and grabbed a rifle but before he could fire, Corporal John B. Charlton killed him. The soldiers left his body by the road approximately where he predicted he would be, and proceeded to Jacksboro with the surviving two chiefs.
The trial was a nationwide media event, as it was the first time raiding Indians had been made to stand trial for their deeds in the community where they committed their crimes. Newspapers across the country carried headlines stating that twelve Jacksboro jurors had found them guilty of murder -and that Judge Charles Soward sentenced them to be hanged.

My sister, the lead of the school play, came down with a fever the night she was supposed to perform.
Literally every relative in the state (and some out of state) came over to our house to see the play. It was a freakin' zoo. My grandmas were here, my aunts and uncles, my cousins. My parents friends, their friends, my sister's friends...you get the idea. So she had to perform. She really had no choice. I wanted to go into her room various times that night, bounce on her bed and go "you're not sick! You're getting up! You're doing this play!"
Well, guys, she did it. And I have just a few (albeit blurry) pictures to show it.
Seeing the play was a nice trip down memory lane. I was in one play and stage-managed a musical with my sister before I graduated. During our last show, my friend graffitied a piece of the wall backstage with our names on it.

Safety and security over biological waste
|May 31 2012
|VERTIC Blog >> National Implementation Measures
Rocio Escauriaza Leal, Madrid
Inadequate biological waste management constitutes a risk that could lead to proliferation of infectious material and accidental outbreaks. International instruments exist to counter these dangers: the Basel Convention aims to limit and regulate hazardous wastes to minimize possible impacts on human and animal health as well as the environment. The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) necessitates the adoption of biosecurity measures – including biological waste management – to prevent proliferation of dual use material. The adoption by countries of effective measures to securely manage biological waste would help implementation of both international agreements and make progress towards the aims they promote.
Biological waste consists of solids, liquids and sharp objects infected with biological agents; this type of waste is generated in hospitals and health care facilities in the course of patient treatment (biomedical waste); and in laboratories.
The 1992 Basel Convention on the Control of Transboundary Movements of Hazardous Wastes and their Disposal currently counts 179 States Parties. Article 4 (4) of the treaty requires States Parties to adopt appropriate legal and administrative measures to implement the convention. Obligations include the criminalization of the illicit trafficking of hazardous wastes; establishing controls over the transboundary movements of hazardous wastes; measures to reduce the generation of hazardous wastes to a minimum; and measures ensuring the availability of adequate disposal facilities and training of personnel. 'Infectious waste' is included in the definition of 'hazardous wastes' provided by this international agreement.
The BWC touches on the issue of biological waste management from the proliferation angle. The BWC doesn't specifically mention biological waste, but it necessitates the adoption of preventive measures, such as security and accountability measures over dual-use biological materials that could be used to develop biological weapons.
When looking into national measures on biosafety and biosecurity, VERTIC found that 41 out of 137 countries surveyed had adopted some biological waste management legislative measures.
Appropriate and effective biological waste management requires the adoption and enforcement of a legislative framework and national policies on the handling and disposal of infectious waste. Additionally, facilities producing and disposing of biological waste should have internal rules or manuals.
Effective handling procedures could include the separation, labelling, packaging and storage of waste in a safe and secure manner. Additionally it could include transporting the generated waste to other facilities with the necessary equipment to safely dispose of it. Exporting waste to other countries is also a possibility and therefore transfer controls over exports/imports and standards for safe handling are necessary—and chain of custody must be ensured.
Different disposal techniques to ensure effective inactivation of the biological agents could include autoclaving (steam sterilization), the use of chemical disinfectants and incinerators.
Providing adequate equipment and training of personnel involved in the different stages of the generation, handling and disposal of biological waste is an essential component of any efficient biological waste management scheme. Public awareness of the risks that this type of waste represent to health is also necessary.
Inadequate handling of biological waste could lead to a disease outbreak. That was the case in the 2009 Hepatitis B outbreak in Gujarat, India where doctors were accused of re-using infected syringes; and the SARS outbreak in Taiwan in late 2003, where waste management procedures in a laboratory were not properly followed. Sewage disposal, lack of separation of biological waste and dumping in landfills are not infrequent practices.
Proliferation of this type of material could also happen if storage facilities and containers are not secured since the biologically infected material could be weaponized and used for criminal purposes.
Governments should establish a comprehensive legal framework to ensure that biological waste is managed safely and securely. Setting up an effective biological waste management scheme can be expensive. But the potential severity of the consequences of mismanagement means that risk analysis should be carried out and appropriate resources allocated to reduce the possibility of accidental outbreaks and proliferation of this sensitive material.

Not Stuck Anymore! Awareness
Visualize with me for a moment a car stuck in the mud. The harder the driver tries to get out. The deeper the car gets. That is what has been happening to the vast majority of people throughout history. Some people because they watched others got smart. When they got stuck they stopped, and waited for help to come. Some get help, but many others do not get out, because they lack the type of help needed to get themselves out. What they lack is the awareness of the right type of help needed.
Just siting here pondering on all of the years I had been stuck in life waiting for someone to show me how to progress to the life that I had always wanted. Just down right euphoria! All of the books that I have been reading were and have been in the library all these years. I was just not aware that they were there. All of the principles and concepts have been know about for centuries. I was not aware of this. Everything that ever was, and ever will be has always been here, but I was not aware. Everything to create a happy life, a happy marriage, and a happy family, career, etc. Is already here.
So the principle that is missing is simply this. To become aware!
The Attitude Shift…Mine Explained
I recorded an interview last week about an attitude shift that I made over 19 years ago. I added a post on my Facebook page about another attitude shift, and I was asked what was the shift about.
I became completely aware of the principle that our present world is a direct reflection, or a complete manifestation of what we think about everyday. The mind, not the brain is the most sophisticated and misunderstood area of our being. Think of a mirror, and not a trick mirror. The reflection that you see is what is! My mentor Earl Nightingale stated that, "we are the sum total of all of our thoughts from the last five years, and we will become the sum total of all of our present thoughts over the next five years". I heard a friend say over 11 years ago and, I did not pay attention to his words. Junk in. Junk out! If life sucks, then it is because of what is going in the mind. I like to call it the filing cabinet in the mind. All thoughts will stay there until they are replaced!
Another aspect to my shift was the fact that I had not been planning out my life, because I was not thinking. Some will say we do think, but when you truly understand the real concept of thinking. We don't think. It has been said that 2% think 3% think that they think, and 95% would rather die than think. All these years I have been in the 3%, and after reading and fully understanding this concept, an attitude shift was immediately needed!
Now comes the task of learning how to fully implement, and to create the new life, and the new brighter path in life that I desire to walk down. One filled with new thoughts, which creates new ideas, which creates the new results.
It is amazing what happens when you become aware!
Humbling Parent Moment
As a parent there is always a question in the back of your mind about how well you are doing. There are times when you can see the results and there are times when you just have to wonder.
There is a humbling feeling to wake up in the morning to see a group of sleeping teens in your living room! Knowing that they just gathered together to spend an evening of wholesome moments together. This will be a good memory for them to know that they can make right choices even as a teenager!
I don't know about you, but I am grateful to know that my home is considered a safe haven for "some"!
The Darkness is Leaving!
I feel that after many years of mental struggle that has led to both mental, and physical struggle. I feel that I have finally come to the understanding of how to explain the whys, whats, and the hows of family existence and growth.
I am so very grateful for my ability to gain, and acquire knowledge for both myself, and my fellow-man! I am grateful just to be!
Tangible and Intangible Happiness
Over the last few months I have been asking myself questions about what goes on around me that involves marriage, my children and people. The more I witness the more I dig for answers. Right now at this moment I am amazed at what goes on in the life of a human! I have been making notes striving to put it all together so that it makes sense to others. I have been studying about what science, experts, and scholars have known for ages. People are not truly aware of the "other" method or path that brings tangible and intangible happiness!
It's time For Your Awareness!
I have just started The Daddy-Man Awareness Movement, and I am striving to help individuals understand what makes them feel stuck, what holds them back, and what is needed to make a consistent long-term change. When you are aware you have more control of your life. Your eyes are opened and you can see life clearer. You have a desire to seek for and achieve all the abundance that life has to offer.
Time to now break those bonds !
The Multitude of Habits Cycle
Something to think about today. I learned this principle from my mentor. If you are struggling with something that your child or children are doing, it is because of their multitude of habits. Now how did they develop their multitude of habits? Was it from you the parent? Was it from their peers? Habits don't just appear. They grow! I now have an understanding of why my children struggle and have struggled.
Because of my multitude of habits, I have overlooked their growing multitude of habits. As I look back over the years there were a lot of signs that I missed, because of my multitude of habits. Nothing just appears out of nowhere! Just like a seed has to start from a beginning. So do habits. Bad or good.
He is an example. My wife and I just recently found out that our daughter has been smoking, and had sex. Where did we go wrong you ask? We developed a habit of ASSUMING that she would make good decisions. We developed habits of ASSUMING that the young ladies that she associated with had good moral values.
I could go on and on with this. It is because of our(her parents) developed multitude of habits we missed some very important signs.
Last point! If I develop a multitude of bad habits at work chances are I will get fired. My multitude of bad habits affect my children's progress.
The good thing about all of this is that we can all change by making a Paradigm Shift. A Paradigm is a multitude of habits. It is because of my Paradigm Shift that we were able to find out what she had been doing, and that is why I know that it works and is worth it.
Living With a Purpose!
I have always considered myself to be a good Father to my children. Today I learned another aspect of being a Father/Dad that I had been struggling with for quite a few years. I always thought that I struggled with the art of communication, but I learned differently today. My struggle has been the art of motivation or better yet guiding my children to achieve their vision or purpose for their life. I now have an understanding why there are so many struggling men and children in the world. If you are living your life without a definite and clear purpose. You are just living a life filled with constant struggles and lack of enthusiasm for life. As i sit here and think about my past, nothing that I was doing then has anything to do with my purpose for living.
Now my immediate task is to implement a plan first to change my own habits, and then seek to work with helping my children refocus on a vision or purpose for their lives. Then help them put together a plan that will help them succeed. Everyone has been brought into this world with a divine purpose. Goals are not a purpose! Goals are what guides us to our purpose for living.
Being Me!
I enjoy being ME! I want to be the best ME that I can be each and everyday for the rest of MY life!
My Paradigm Shift Week 2!
On September 30th I decided to fully commit to a Paradigm Shift for my life. So you ask what is a Paradigm? It is a multitude of habits. I had habits that lead my life to just a mere existence, and I was not happy. My life was based on the masses of my community, state, and our country.
So far my morning routine has changed, and that reflects how my day will evolve. I have read 3 books and a couple several times. I have begun to create a winning attitude for prosperity and success, spiritual, mental, and physical. I no longer focus on where I am. I am where I am! I now focus on what I want and where I want my life to go!
Yesterday I wrote my first childrens book. The words just flowed with such ease. My wife said she has read it 3 times, and encourages me to write another. When one seriously commits to making a Paradigm Shift wonderful things begin to happen. My marriage has even taken on a new life!
My mentor Bob Proctor made a statement! God's gift to us is more talent and ability that we will ever use in our lifetime! Our gift to God is to develop as much of that talent and ability as we can in this lifetime!

- Otto Klemperer: His Life and Times. Vol.I: 1885-1933 by Peter Heyworth

- Score and Podium: A Complete Guide to Conducting by Frederik Prausnitz

Oxford, 2017 pp, £37.50, October 1983, ISBN 0 19 311316 3
Inevitably, as time passes, the art of Otto Klemperer is identified in the memories of those who heard him with caricatures of the qualities that happened to distinguish it at the end of his career. In London, where between 1955 and 1972 that career was played to its close, Klemperer is recalled as a grand, old-style, Continental man of music, who presided over ponderously literal readings of the German and Viennese classics. People speak of his performances as if they were the over-mighty monuments of a defunct religion, mausoleums in orchestral sound for the burial and commemoration of Europe's greatest musical dead, unfriendly, lugubrious places from which one emerged into the fresh night air, spiritually chastened but physically chilled. Accordingly, weight, breadth, depth, architecture and austerity are now seen as the canonical attributes of the Klemperer interpretation. And slowness.
The slowness of the later Klemperer was indeed shocking. No one who experienced it has forgotten it. Perhaps few, however, have remembered the sixty years of intellectual development and personal struggle which lay behind those supercooled, Stygian tempi. By explaining the earlier development of Klemperer's art, Peter Heyworth's biography places the notorious aspects of its last phase in a proper perspective, and restores balance to a reputation which has become, in England at any rate, lopsided. It teaches us, for example, that Klemperer's tempi were not always slow; moreover, that the slowness of the later tempi was not a symptom of senility or geriatric motor deficiency, but the last expression of one of the century's most unorthodox and subversive musical temperaments. Like his radically unromantic readings of the 1920s (criticised for being too fast), Klemperer's later interpretations cut across prevailing idioms, compelling audiences to wake up and listen. At a time of creeping cliché in the performance of the standard orchestral repertoire, slowness was one of the ways Klemperer rescued music from glibness and triviality.
Lotte Klemperer, Otto's daughter, does not recall ever having seen her father look at himself in a mirror. It never crossed his mind, she supposes, to keep a diary. Self-regard was no evident part of his nature. In a conductor that must be remarkable. Combining limitless executive power with the opportunity ritualistically to display it in public, the modern practice of conducting is wonderfully adapted to the expression of vanity. No other institution offers the individual (male) such scope for the fulfilment of ego. But it was not always like that. When Jean-Baptiste Lully stabbed himself fatally in the foot during a performance of his immense Te Deum, in 1687, he was not executing an elaborate pirouette but beating the ground with a cane to keep the time. As late as the 1820s conductors were making do with a roll of paper. The modern form of the thing, which takes itself so seriously, was developed by Berlioz and Wagner, ostensibly to manage the complexity of directing their own music, but with a keen eye, we may be sure, on its potential for self-aggrandisement.

A DRUG dealer will become the first to receive a life-saving award while behind bars, after rescuing a young girl from being swept out to sea off the mid Wales coast.
Anti-drug campaigners and police have criticised the decision to give the award to convicted heroin dealer Paul Parry.
One councillor said it would be better to give him the award after he is released from jail.
Parry, 32, from Aberystwyth, will be the first prison inmate in the UK to be presented with a Royal Humane Society award.
Earlier this year, the father-of-two was jailed for five-and-a-half years for being the ringleader of a drug gang dealing heroin in the seaside town.
Parry and his father Dai, 54, braved gale force winds and fierce waves to save the 15-year-old girl who had plunged 30 feet on to rocks from the harbour jetty.
The awards were made on the recommendation of the girl's father and coast-guard manager George Crumpler.
Last night, former Ceredigion County Council chairman Coun Goronwy Edwards, of Penparcau, Aberystwyth, a friend of the Parrys, said: "He saved a life and to me he deserves it, although drugs are killing people off and he's been pushing drugs.
"I can't understand why Paul was selling drugs. I've seen him grow up from when he was in a pram." South Wales Police Chief Inspector Paul Cannon said: "There is no way this man should be given a humane society award.
"Instead, he should be reviled for his part in this evil trade."
The Parrys will each be awarded bronze medals by the Royal Humane Society and a certificate signed by its president, Princess Alexandra.
Society Secretary Major General Christopher Tyler defended the award. He said: "Theirs was a remarkable feat of bravery and endurance, for which I know the girl's family will remain forever grateful." Coastguard Mr Crumpler, who put forward the Parrys for the award, said: "He was just a member of the public who carried out a rescue."
The teenager suffered terrible injuries when she leaped into the sea at Trefechan. The 15-year-old lost most of her teeth and has been receiving treatment for a serious hip injury.
Carmarthen Crown Court heard she had been encouraged to commit suicide by a 15-year-old boy, who became the first juvenile in the UK to be charged with attempting to aid and abet, counsel or procure a suicide.
A jury heard he gave her tequila to drink and then helped her on to the sea front where she fell on to rocks. The boy walked home and waited 90 minutes before telephoning for help. Judge Gerald Price banned him from setting foot in Wales before 2005.

Back before when Sugar magazine was only online, I used to love the little section on the front page known as; 'This issue in figures.' Maybe it appealed to my inner mathematician (yeah, right.) Or maybe I just thought it was a great way to sum things up. Anyhow, I have decided to start a weekly feature on my blog, based on this idea, looking back at my past week. It's a great way to reflect and really sit down and prepare yourself for whatever is to come in the next week!
The last week of February was as followed:
1- TV show that reduced me to tears. A scene in a new documentary called something along the lines of first time paramedics. They were called out to an old man, who retold the story of when his wife died, he was so shocked by her death that a blood vessel popped in his brain- resulting in him loosing part of his sight. Despite this, and the fact that he had been bitten by a spider, had fallen over and had experienced three strokes, he was only looking for a friend and someone to talk to. Needless to say, I had a bit of a sob.
3- Netball games that my team have won in the past week, Woohoo!!
9-Pieces of work received, plus revision. I'm in for a wild weekend!
1- Adorable drawing of myself from my beautiful 4 year old cousin, aww.
2+ hours spent laughing at the comedian Russel Howard, I had been looking forward to going on his tour since last summer!
I think I suit pink hair ;)
What has your week looked like?

How to Import an ECAD Geometry for Printed Circuit Board Design
Lorant Olasz July 3, 2017
Have you ever wondered how to import the geometry of a printed circuit board (PCB) into the COMSOL Multiphysics® software and prepare it for meshing and analysis? Version 5.3 of the COMSOL® software has the tools to generate geometric objects from the 2D layouts of ECAD files, group them into easy-to-use selections for simulation setup, and automatically take care of the geometric complexity inherent to ECAD formats before meshing. We also have a new tutorial model to demonstrate this functionality.Ler Mais
Lorant Olasz November 24, 2016
For many years, it's been possible to analyze synchronized CAD geometries in COMSOL Multiphysics® via the LiveLink™ interfacing products. But did you know that you can also incorporate this functionality into an easy-to-use simulation app? With an app, you can dynamically modify your geometry in a CAD program such as SOLIDWORKS® and use this information to analyze new product designs. Today, we will demonstrate how to do so, using the new Bike Frame Analyzer app as an example.Ler Mais

BIRKDALE'S famous football pundit Alan Hansen is relying on CCTV footage to catch thieves who broke into his luxury car.
The ex-Liverpool and Match Of The Day star returned from an Easter break to discover his black BMW 750i had been targeted.
Police were called to his £1.5m Waterloo Road home at around 9am on Wednesday.
Hansen, 52, who played 620 games for the Reds, has lived at the property for more than 20 years.
It is thought the criminals scaled a fence at the house before targeting the £30,000 vehicle, which was parked in the driveway.
The thieves fled with a sports bag and a small amount of cash.
Police conducted forensic examinations and left at mid-morning, just as Hansen was due to travel to London to cover England's international against France for the BBC.

Watering your plants just got a lot easier with Blue Marble's new solar-powered watering system. The water irrigation system connects to the Internet for weather information in addition to an app, which can be used for scheduling watering times. The watering will begin based on a soil sensor, or through timed sessions.
What sets this system apart would be its method of connection, via radio and Wi-Fi. Blue Marble's system is also battery-free. Although the controller is powered by a wall outlet, the sensors and valves used to irrigate the land are powered by small solar cells.
Additionally, sensors and valves can be added to existing watering systems, or an entire system can be purchased. Money is being raised on Kickstarter and early supporters can get a deal on controllers, sensors and valves.

If you brought Jenni and Roger to a wedding planner they'd probably head for the hills, but throw a kid or two on the table and they might just be a bit more inclined to say "I do." On tonight's "Snooki & JWOWW," the Seaside Heights-spawned couple began researching adoption despite their indifference to getting married, and as soon as Roger tossed around the pigskin with some kids at a local adoption support group, his hesitation about having children seemed to vanish instantly. Could the sound of a crying baby possibly precede the jingle of wedding bells?
JWOWW, whose mother and best pal, Snooki, were both adopted, said she's always had a vested interest in adoption, and thought that introducing Roger to families that have gone through the process might warm him up to the idea. "I just hope that doing things like this will make him realize that he shouldn't be nervous [about having kids]," she said, adding that she could see their future in the families they met.
She wasn't too far off the mark, as the picnic had her beau more excited about parenthood than Jenni's ever seen before. "It's a good feeling," Roger said. "If I was ever ready to do this, now I don't think I would second-guess myself."
While Roger has clearly warmed up to the idea of being a dad, bear in mind: It almost happened overnight. Could he change his mind just as quickly? Plus, as long as he and Jenni are still working through certain issues in couple's counseling, adding something as demanding as a baby might be too much strain on their relationship. So, whaddya think: Are JWOWW and Roger ready for parenthood, or do they have other fish to fry before they try?

Every time I travel, something bad happens. Luckily I have gotten to the point in which I can 'roll with the punches' and make it through the bad times. I have extremely bad luck, which definitely affected my trip to Shannon, Ireland.
First of all, our flight was delayed quite a bit. We finally land at 1020 pm and I am tired from a long day of traveling. I was beyond ready to get my rental car from Budget and get to my hotel so I could get some much-needed beauty sleep. I had to rest for a long day of driving to the Southwest of Ireland. For my first solo trip I planned to drive the Dingle Peninsula, the Ring of Kerry, and then back up to the Cliffs of Moher. I wanted to take it easy and focus on artistic photography.
Fast forward an hour after going through customs and it was finally my turn to speak with the rental agency. I hand the woman my drivers license and she asks me what my age is. I am 23. Apologetically, she says that they do not rent to anyone under 25. Seriously? The rental agency couldn't have told me that when I had to input my birthday to rent the car online? They couldn't tell me before I paid? They couldn't have put it on the site? It's now 2320 (11:20 pm) and I'm panicking because every hotel I booked is off the beaten path (far away from bus stops). It's my first solo trip, and I've just lost out on another 70 Euro. There was nothing they could do. I walked from car rental service to car rental service, none of them rented cars to people under 25.
Nearing midnight, I got a taxi to my hotel (another 20 Euro) to recoup from the activities. I scoured the internet for a car rental company that rents to Under 25s. Nothing. I went to one of my favorite travel groups Girls Love Travel and asked them all. One person even suggested hitchhiking. Many others suggested taking a bus. Busses weren't an option due to the remote location of my hotels. Hitchhiking is absolutely not something I am comfortable with.
When I woke up the next morning at 5 am I decided to search one last time. I stumbled upon a rental company with a funny name, Dan-Dooley Car Rentals. Their site said they booked car rentals to people under 25! Somehow I seemed to find the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. It seemed too good to be true so I hesitantly booked to pick it up at 1000 to start my adventure to the coast.
Once I arrived at Dan-Dooley I was treated wonderfully. I was helped by a friendly woman named Rachel who answered all my questions and was super friendly. She also had some of the cutest trainers I've ever seen. She eased all my worries and explained the policies and the insurances. Obviously, knowing my luck, I got all the insurance (and luckily I did! I got sideswiped in a hit and run by someone at the Cliffs of Moher). As I waited on my car to be cleaned and prepared, I was offered refreshments. I have never been offered that in a car rental company, ever. I waited about 15-20 minutes and was given a sweet-ass Nissan Qashqai SUV. The other worker took me out to it to show me little things I may not have known about the car (how to put it in reverse, the different parking brake, and how to open the gas tank). They went above and beyond my expectations. In fact, they even threw in a free GPS rental since I had to wait a few minutes for the car.
Booking my car rental through Dan-Dooley turned the most stressful part of my trip into a delightful experience. I sincerely credit Dan-Dooley and their amazing professionals to saving my trip from being ruined. See the photos below of all the things I wouldn't have been able to do if Dan-Dooley didn't exist.
As always this is my 100% opinion. I was not paid in any way, shape, or form for this post.

Guys,A 30-something female lawyer writes in:
I was checking out the Don't Get Married archives, and I found this gem of a post. It's a thirtysomething female lawyer's thoughts about an episode of "The Bachelor" reality show. It's good stuff from a female who figured things out, albeit too late. Oh well, that's NOT my problem, hehehe...
I was checking out the Don't Get Married archives, and I found this gem of a post. It's a thirtysomething female lawyer's thoughts about an episode of "The Bachelor" reality show. It's good stuff from a female who figured things out, albeit too late. Oh well, that's NOT my problem, hehehe...
I just had to write you tonight because of your recent posts about 30 something women having trouble finding husbands. I happened to watch The Bachelor Paris tonight. It was the first show where the Bachelor sends home 13 women. What happened in this show was a very illuminating example of what you have written.
One of the women was Allie G., a 33 year old Oncologist. The Bachelor is a Doctor and it was obvious that Allie thought that she was a shoo-in, because what male doctor wouldn't appreciate a female doctor? During the show, when the Bachelor meets and talks with the women, Allie told him that she was ready to reproduce because her eggs were getting old.
Needless to say, Allie didn't get a rose. I knew she wasn't going to take that lying down when I saw the look on her face. It was apparent that she was disgusted with the Bachelor's choices (most of whom appear to be in their twenties). How dare he turn down a DOCTOR.
Sure enough, the next scenes show Allie out cussing and griping to the other women about how she's tried internet dating, matchmaking services and everything else to try to find a husband. She bemoaned the fact that men didn't want her. She expressed that she worked hard and focused on her career and that men should want her for that and that the Bachelor was like every other f*@#&ing male doctor she's ever known. (In fact, every other word was bleeped at that point) It wasn't FAIR that she couldn't get a husband. Look at her credentials!
Then, she's interviewed alone and she says basically the same kinds of things, including that she couldn't believe that he picked the other women when he should have picked her, a doctor.
She then goes and confronts the Bachelor and demands that he tell her why he didn't pick her. He explains that her comment about being ready to reproduce was the reason. She goes into attack mode telling him that he should be ready to reproduce and why wasn't he ready. Of course, she doesn't listen to his comment that he doesn't put the cart before the horse.
She storms off and gripes to the other women about how he should be ready to reproduce because he is in his thirties.
The show ends with her going on and on in the same vein with a show staff member (male) who is trying to escape her onslaught.
This was truly pitiful and I felt really sorry for her in her desperation. She bought into the garbage that men should want women who put career first.
I bought into that too, so I understand her confusion and disbelief when men didn't flock around her because she was the pretty, smart, successful doctor. That only happens in movies and on television. She, like many professional women, forgot to develop those attributes men are really looking for. I'm not sure what those are, but I know they aren't the ones upon which doctors and lawyers focus.
I just had to write you about this, it was so in line with what you have been saying. I can't write about it at my blog because I'm afraid my parents will see it and think that I am talking about myself. Maybe you could write about it.
(And yes, I realize that The Bachelor is a very silly show)
I don't know about you, but that was good stuff! It was from this post that I first learned about "The Bachelor" episode featuring Dr. Allie G. I didn't see this video until months later. Then, I finally found it, so I could post it here. Anyway, I thought that this lawyer chick nailed it pretty well. It's too bad that she didn't figure things out till it was too late. Then again, that's not MY problem...

Need to brush up on European geography? No need to worry. Atari has you covered. Published in 1980, European Countries & Capitals was an educational tool designed to teach the user about European geography.
The game utilized the Atari 8-bit Cassette Data Recorder which was unique because, "…Dual Track systems and could load data while also playing audio/music tracks simultaneously. This meant that while another section of a program was loading, the recorder could give the player instructions, information or play a soundtrack to entertain the player time while the program loaded." – Atari Museum

The Hungarian Government respects Germany's desire to let immigrants in, but finds it inconceivable that this decision should be binding on any other countries, the Minister heading the Prime Minister's Office said. János Lázár spoke about this at the press conference "Governmentinfo 29 – Government actions explained" which he held jointly with Government Spokesperson Zoltán Kovács.
In response to the German Chancellor's statement whereby immigration should be legalised, Mr Lázár said: Germany intends to impose its own will on Europe. If Germany has a guilty conscience for any reason, and wants to let just anyone in, it is free to do so, but this cannot be compulsory for Hungary, he added.
In Hungary, there is a need for supporting Hungarian families, rather than supporting the settling of migrants, Mr Lázár pointed out.
The Minister also informed the press: the Government decided at its meeting held on Wednesday on upholding the emergence procedure applicable to the four southern counties.
Mr Lázár remarked: he does not wish to comment on the fact that Austria deployed razor-wire on the Slovenian border because he wants to avoid making the same mistake as the Austrian politicians who, in his view, "were talking from upon a high horse", and condemned the country and the Prime Minister upon the construction of the fence. "We have an interest in the settlement of Austrian-Hungarian relations true to our traditions – including '48 – and in reinforced cooperation", he stated, and therefore, as he said, they will not call them to account regarding the human rights and European values for which they called Hungary to account.
Mr Lázár described the cooperation of the Visegrád countries on the issue as exemplary, and informed the press that the Polish contingent of 43 border guards is also on its way.
Regarding the mandatory European settling quota, he repeated the Government's conviction: we need to support the Hungarian people, rather than support the settling of migrants. He also deemed the opinion of the electorate on the issue important, and welcomed the collection of signatures launched upon an initiative of Fidesz in the interest of refusing the quotas. He stressed: we must conduct a social and parliamentary debate in the next few weeks so that we may contest the EU's decision.
He pointed out: the institution of the quotas is an invitation to everyone who is worse off than the Europeans. It would not just mean the settling of migrants coming here but also benefits to be provided on a mandatory basis – pensions, social benefits – which, in the event of some pan-European standardisation, could even be higher than the benefits provided in Hungary.
In answer to the comment that some migrants are allegedly unable to leave the country, he said: the Prime Minister requested a report on the issue which is currently being investigated.
Mr Lázár reiterated: he is convinced that migrants were previously transported to the Hungarian border sections in an organised campaign. They were equipped and informed, and someone had to finance this. There are some for whom this is a political agenda, he remarked, adding that Hungary's position is – which it will also represent at the EU summit – that we do not need immigrants at all.
He called into question the feasibility of the possible expulsion of migrants back to Hungary, asking the question: with what means would they be able to achieve this – at gunpoint, with kind words or with financial motivation perhaps? Foreign authorities have so far informed Hungary of the possible expulsion of some 40,000 migrants back to Hungary, but "we shall not take anyone back in", he pointed out, adding: the individuals concerned did not first enter the territory of the EU in Hungary.
The Minister was also asked about German Chancellor Angela Merkel's warning that the Western Balkans states could be plunged back into war. He answered: he sees no signs indicating this.

At The Seymour Agency we make good use of interns, pooling them from the local collegiate population. It's a win-win for both parties, not to mention when I was in college I would have "killed" for an internship at an agency or publisher. Any who, our local intern is one Lesley Sabga and she ROCKS.
Instead of me prattling on about some nonsense or whatever, I had Lesley write up a post on her experiences as an intern. I'm double-dipping here by posting it, because she actually wrote it up for my current pool of interns, but c'est la vie.
You might also think hey this is about an agent's life, not an intern's! But there's this line of thought among some writing circles that interns do all the work, an agent never even reads the manuscripts, and you need to escape the all mighty gatekeeper. So I thought it would be neat for us to hear from said mighty gatekeeper. And here'ssssss Lesley:
"I have been an intern at a literary agency and a publishing house for a little over a year. When I first started, I was at the tail end of my senior year, and to say I was more than ready to graduate and pursue my dream of becoming an editor would be an understatement. Immediately I was thrown into a world full of reader reports, editorial passes and letters, copy edits, line edits, and acquisitions. I found myself a little over my head, thinking I possibly bit off more than I could chew. But in those first few months, I learned more about the industry than I ever thought I could.
I came across three essential facts. First, I learned that in order to make it in this industry, you must have a strong sense of time management, especially if working remotely. It is so easy to fall behind or procrastinate on projects, and in this trade, deadlines are crucial. I also learned that you can't take anything personally. If an editor says that your proofs are unusable and gives you no sort of recognition for your efforts, making all of your hard work and long hours essentially worthless, you use that feeling of frustration to motivate yourself to improve on that certain skill set. Take every criticism as a learning experience, never personally. If you do, you won't last very long in this industry. The final lesson that I learned is that if you want to establish a name for yourself, you must make the effort to make yourself known to as many people as possible. Never hesitate to ask a question, even if it may seem dumb or embarrassing to you. Editors or whoever you work for always want to be informed on what you are struggling with or have questions on. It is always better to be annoying and ask a dozen questions and turn in great work instead of guessing what you think they want or how to do something, and turn in something mediocre and wrong. Communication and networking is key, and the only way to accomplish this is to reach out to your superiors and connections.
When it comes to mastering reader reports, editorial passes and letters, or anything else concerning a manuscript, the best ally to have is experience. Through trial and error, you'll find that your voice and skills will develop into something completely unique and invaluable for yourself. You'll learn your strong points and the areas you still need improvement on.
There are many components that make up a reader report but I found that characterization and the author's voice is key. Authors sometimes have difficulty keeping the characters in line with the plot. The characters stray and form their own separate storyline, and soon enough the original story is nothing like the end result. Characters need to grow with the plot and the conflict always needs to be referred back to the reader through them. The author's voice is what essentially makes the characters distinguishable and one of the best ways to figure this out is to cover up each name in a sequence of dialogue and see if you can tell who is talking. To me, this is the simplest way to determine if the author's voice is strong and distinctive.
In regards to editorial letters, I found that constructive criticism is a very delicate process. It is always important to compliment the author and to point out the aspects of their book that you enjoyed. Concentrating on what needs improvement within a story can often overpower a letter and make it more hurtful than helpful. One of the most brilliant pieces of advice I was ever given by an editor was the analogy that a book is like an author's baby, and you never want to call a person's baby ugly. This couldn't be truer within this industry and it is so easy to make this mistake. Learn the balance between stating the positives of a book and how the negatives can be improved, and definitely remember that these letters are a very personal aspect of this job.
Although the publishing and editing industry can be tough to break into and to learn, I have yet to talk to an individual in this business that does not love their job, and I think that speaks volumes for this field. There is no greater feeling than helping an author's vision and words come to life; it is the most rewarding task and one that I, and everyone else in this industry, am passionate about. If you put in all of the work and push to learn and improve, there is absolutely nothing that will hold you back in this field. Everyone has to start somewhere and getting your foot through the door is always the first step."
Well, that's it for now, so remember to keep writing on!

impulse wine
Seattle, WA
Impulse Wine is about just one thing: good wine. Some think good wine has to be expensive, some think it has to be highly rated, others think it has to be imported. At Impulse Wine, none of that is true. I've worked in all facets of the wine business, and have seen behind the scenes of the industry. I use my years of experience to seek out the best wines, at all prices, and offer them on Impulse
impulse philosophy
Great wine is not defined by its fancy labels, famous regions, or high prices. Is the winemaker highly skilled? Was the vineyard well managed? Is it worth the asking price? These are the questions which govern the Impulse Wine selection.

I played an EDB605 a while back in a local shop, and a 4 at GC. I love the feel of the bass, has a nice weight to it, great comfort, and awesome moldings, almost make it stick to you. I was just wandering what all of you think of the EDB and its sister series the EDA's and EDC's. What mods have you guys/girls done to enhance your Ergodynes? New pups? differant pre?

text: As much as I'm looking forward to the Evo and fully immersed in being brainwashed that it will be the greatest phone ever, at some point you need to be realistic with your expectations. Here are my concerns: 4G/3G won't be able to seamlessly transition. What I mean by this is that if your 4G signal is weak/non-existant, you'll have to manually make the switch to 3G coverage 4G in general - this will be the first ever 4G phone in the USA, the first 4G phone for Sprint, etc...I think you realistically have to expect there to be some issues with signal quality, coverage, etc. Battery Life - Maybe not a big issue for me because I usually keep my phones on charges all the time, but it's going to be interesting to see how this plays out. Such a glorious device is going to suck down the battery I'd assume. Will the processor be underclocked? The Incredible looks like its being handcuffed to 667MHz, which isn't uncommon, but I feel a 1GHz processor should work at 1GHz, or at least not 66% of its capacity. I'm sure it will still be fast, but I digress. The screen being a TFT LCD could be a potential issue, and that it's only listed as producing 65K colors...which seems like a lot but vastly inferior to an AMOLED. Of course I think I still prefer it over an AMOLED, but that's a personal choice. Will it be "too big"? For some people I think they'll decide the device is too large or too heavy for comfortable use. Feel free to add more.

Here are some drawings done by friends either on Deviant Art, or in real life! These pictures mean so much to me, I just love them! Some are my OCs and some are birthday presents and art trades with friends in real life. I'll upload them in the order I got them. <3
Both of these are by my good friend from DeviantART, Slashretta! She had this thing going on Tumblr where people request things for the character she role-plays (Patrick Hockstetter from Stephen King's IT. Who else? XD We love the little psycho!) to draw doing or wearing. I just love them so much! In the last one I requested Patrick dressed as Alice in Wonderland, with his cat we made up, Princess, dressed as Dinah!

Haytham Khoury
on: The Opposition and the Church in Syria: A Slap in the Face for the Pro-Democracy Movement, by Claudia Mende
Talking about Syria as there is only one church is a misrepresentation of the reality. Indeed, in Syria there are around 13 Christian denominations. These can be generally divided into three main groups. The Orthodox ones (Greek, Syriac, Assyrian and Armenian), the Catholic ones (Melkite, Syriac, Maronite, Chaldean and Armenian) and Protestants (there is a couple of them).
Each of these churches has its own leadership. Indeed, the attitude of the Churches' leaders from the revolution is not uniform. While the Catholic churches supported the regime openly because of their fear of chaos, the orthodox churches showed somewhat explicit support to the demonstrators. I have no clear idea regarding the position of Protestant churches.
The Christian public attitude is still split. The extent of Christian public support to the revolution varies according the region. While it is relatively low in Aleppo and Damascus, this support reaches 80-90% in some areas, including Homs, Hama, Damascus suburbs and the west coast.
Finally, I would like to emphasize that in Christians' political views and attitudes in Syria there is complete separation between Church and State (from this point of view, there is clear difference between Egypt and Syria).

Whitney Andresen
Some girls love shoes, some love bags, but for Whitney Andresen it's always been bathing suits. Whitney comes from a family of boat captains and fisherman. She grew up on Cape Cod and the island of Martha's Vineyard, surrounded by the ocean. As a child she spent summer days running around the island, listening to reggae music, collecting sea glass, and fishing off docks and boats with her dad, Spider. Jumping from land to sea to boat all day, everyday. She always had a bathing suit on, just in case there was a need to jump in the ocean.
It was this upbringing and the tapestry of colors, patterns, vibrations and people she experienced in her travels to beaches and cultures all over the world, and now her experience living in New York City, that influenced her to design swimwear and start Bikini Thief.

A WAMtastic 2016 in review, WA Xmas pressie ideas & more
What a year 2016 was: Mourning the loss of global artists such as Prince, Bowie and Cohen was shocking, but throughout the year WA music kicked enormous goals both at home and further afield. Tame Impala consolidated their place as one of the world's most important bands, headlining Glastonbury this year, but the local talent on display at the likes of State Of The Art and WAMFest (which just won 'Australian Live Music Event Of The Year' in The Au Awards!) demonstrated the quality and depth of local artists.
A massive thanks to our supporters, wishing all WAM members, partners, musicians, fans and anyone who has championed WA music a fun filled/restful/full-on holiday period; whichever of these most appeals.
► In conjunction with ECU Joondalup, WAM entered a research project, finding that the contemporary music industry contributes almost $1 billion to the WA economy each year.
► WAM welcomed our first donations to the WA Music Fund, contributing towards our community initiatives and bringing opportunity for aspiring artists taking those first steps. We also raised funds to frame some of local music legend Sue Hammersley's historical poster collection.
► WAM again partnered with Celebrate WA to help present the State Of The Art Music Festival, with SOTA's new Elizabeth Quay setup seeing the longest lines we've seen at music festivals for years. Maybe decades.
► The Wheatbelt Touring Circuit saw 32 acts performing at 16 events in 10 Wheatbelt towns to over 2,000 people. The introduction of the Wheatbelt WAMBassadors initiative tackled road safety like never before, including producing a video with partners RAC that turned the spotlight on the deeply personal effect of road trauma and received almost 20K views in a few days.
► Sounds Of The Goldfields launched to a sold-out Goldfields Art Centre audience. 800 CDs were distributed on the night, with all tracks from the compilation receiving airplay on various ABC and community radio stations around Australia, including Feature Album on RTRFM.
► Freshly renamed, WAMFest presented by Drug Aware saw a total attendance of 14,637 across four days (an increase of 30% from last year), and showcased 156 acts across 23 venues, resulting in incalculable good times. In recognition, WAMFest was awarded 'Australian Live Music Event Of The Year' in The Au Awards.
► The WAMAwards' new seated format at new venue Gate One Theatre proved a hit, including the night selling out, 8 acts showcased through the night and after party, a new award added in "Best Record Producer", and Koi Child walking away with the most WAMis (4).
► Song Of The Year saw the competition's first ever Indigenous Grand Prize winner, Beni Bjah, picked from 925 entries, determined by 91 independent industry judges, and over $40,000 worth of prizes distributed to WA songwriters. The winners were announced at the Awards Party, taking place at B-shed at Fremantle Ports.
► The newly named WAMCon curated its biggest ever line-up, with 73 conference speakers (6 international, 41 national and 26 local) taking part in the event at The State Theatre Centre of WA. The ever-popular QuayNote Boat Party also sold-out.
► Another successful installment of self-managed artist workshop series Higher Note saw 16 participants (6 regional and 10 metro artists) exposed to 17 music industry expert speakers from around Australia.
► WAM's Regional Roundtable celebrated its 10th year of existence. Over 100 people have now been part of this networking and feedback forum for key contributors to contemporary music in regional WA.
What could be better this Xmas than present-ing someone you love some local lovin'? Absolutely nothing, that's what. As such, we recommend:
► Your fave WA music album (try the list of WAMAwards nominated Best Albums for starters!)
► An instrument, especially for someone that doesn't play music
► Music lessons to make WA venues sound even better
► Grab a Kiss My WAMi CD from the WAM office before Xmas and we'll throw in a second to share with a loved one who needs more WA music in their life!
► Tickets to an event stocked with local goodness (heaps here)
► Make a donation on behalf of someone to the WA Music Fund
► Gift a musician or music industry member/hopeful a WAM Membership
► The coolest summer merch from your fave WA artist
Yep, we'll soon be off soaking ourselves in music and good times/much needed rest, so please note we're closed from Friday 23 December. We'll be back championing WA music loud and proud Monday 9 January, 2017, when we'll be soon to announce our Song Of The Year comp…
From everyone at WAM,

Olympia sits near sea level, near Puget Sound and surrounded by the Olympic and Cascade mountain ranges. Surface winds, as a result, aren't often reflective of the winds found at higher reaches of the atmosphere. This made figuring out the temperature trends rather interesting when looking at the wind direction. It was apparent that the narrow temperature variance on Thursday was a result of overcast conditions, while those clouds cleared out on Friday, and the temperatures were warmer in the afternoon and cooler in the morning. This was because the flow switched from westerly to southerly. Meanwhile, at the surface, wind trends did just the opposite. It cleared out and got warmer when winds at the surface became northwesterly. Mountains are the worst. Forecasts were fairly mediocre, but The Weather Channel collected the top forecast for the day.

The culture of contemporary medicine is the object of investigation in this book; the meanings and values implicit in biomedical knowledge and practice and the social processes through which they are produced are examined through the use of specific case studies. The essays provide examples of how various facets of 20th century medicine, including edu- cation, research, the creation of medical knowledge, the development and application of technology, and day to day medical practice, are per- vaded by a value system characteristic of an industrial-capitalistic view of the world in which the idea that science represents an objective and value free body of knowledge is dominant. The authors of the essays are sociologists and anthropologists (in almost equal numbers); also included are papers by a social historian and by three physicians all of whom have steeped themselves in the social sci- ences and humanities. This co-operative endeavor, which has necessi- tated the breaking down of disciplinary barriers to some extent, is per- haps indicative of a larger movement in the social sciences, one in which there is a searching for a middle ground between grand theory and attempts at universal explanations on the one hand, and the context-spe- cific empiricism and relativistic accounts characteristic of many historical and anthropological analyses on the other.

8 Outdoor Games That Are Prop-Free: No Ball Required!!
I was talking to my kids this morning about the games I used to love to play as a child and mentioned 4 Corners. They looked at me like I had two heads. They never heard of it and it got me thinking… my little ones are so dependent on THINGS. When I was growing up (I sound like my grandfather now…) the kids would go outside and just PLAY. We picked up sticks from the floor and used them to mark bases. We were resilient folks! Flexible if you will. If the chalk broke, we used a rock. Ok, I'm exaggerating – but you catch my drift.
In case you get sick and tired of having to dig deep into your garage to find THINGS for your children to play with — here are 8 friendly REMINDERS.
8 Outdoor Games That Are Prop-Free: No Ball Required!!
- Four Corners (how to)
- Red Light: Green Light (how to)
- Tag (how to)
- What time is it, Mr. Fox? (how to)
- Duck, Duck Goose (how to)
- Man Hunt (aka Hide n Go Seek) (how to)
- 7 Up (how to)
- Sardines (how to)

I am familiar with some of the games because my mom had told me so. But i know this will be exciting. Right now, i am just hooked to playing basketball. Cool article! 🙂

I don't really see my neighbors often, but from what i've discovered my apartment building is pretty "international". (Japanese people love this word, i've found, and use it to describe anything/any situation where there's a foreigner. I hear it too much, in Japanese and in bastardized English pronunciation)
Anyway, there are only six apartments in my building. I usually only see the lady on the first floor.. i'm pretty sure she's Brazilian but i'm not sure. She's pretty nice and we usually greet each other in passing. And i've seen a couple other people from the second floor only a couple times. But the other week i had an interesting encounter with someone else who lives on the first floor.
I was walking down the stairs one evening, i think i was probably going to go get groceries or something. Was coming down the stairwell to the first floor and there was a rather good-looking guy there, probably close to the same age as me, tying his shoe on one of the steps. I think i had seen him from afar before, but i could be mistaken. I see many good-looking people on a regular basis, it's hard to remember a particular face.
So, he looked up and moved out of the way to let me come down the stairs, we exchanged "Konbanwa"s (Good evening) like good neighbors do, and i continued walking toward the street.
Then suddenly, from behind me i heard in a perfect English accent: "Do you speak English?"
I was rather taken aback, and i was sure my ears were playing tricks on me. It's not unusual for me to hear random English spoken at me, but it's usually very heavily accented and limited to "Hallo!" or "Where aah you furomu?". (Or sometimes, "Ohh, naisu body!!")
I turned around and said, "Uh.. yeah."
"Oh, okay. Just wondering."
Then there was a few seconds of awkward silence. I wasn't sure what to say then, but i was curious about his English and i was struggling to find the right way to ask. At first i was about to ask, "What are you?", as in are you really Japanese, or were you raised elsewhere or what? But "what are you" of course does not get across what i was wanting to find out, and just sounds very rude!
"What.. uh... you speak English too?"
"Yeah, I was raised in the Philippines, so.."
"Oh. So... are you Philippine?" Yes, i asked if he was a country, not a nationality, lol! Like i said, it was a very unexpected encounter and i wasn't thinking straight.
"I'm half-Philippine half-Japanese." I'm pretty sure he responded the same way though, haha.
"Oohh, i see."
"I've seen you around town a lot..."
I kind of wanted to say "Well, yeah, i'm kind of easy to spot", but i didn't want him to think i was being rude. Instead i just said, "Well, yeah, i live here, and i work at the hoikuen down that way, so..."
"Ah, I see."
There was more awkward silence, so we started saying our parting words or whatever and i backed away step-by-step and he started fiddling with his bike lock, and that was that!
Another guy in my neighborhood i have to mention. I've never actually seen him, but i hear him quite often! He walks down the street at night, just singing his little heart out. It's almost always around midnight or later, so i'm pretty sure he's coming home from some drinking-party with coworkers or whatever, though i have heard him a couple times during the day. I'd like to catch a glimpse of him sometime though.
Should be off now, meeting up soon with S for some amazing fun times again.. :D

I have posted in the past about my summer and winter palettes below.
My winter palette tends to be darker jewel tones:
My summer palette is more nautical (but thinking about it is really a brighter version of the winter one!)
Both have navy and blue in common with a red or burgundy to lift it. I do wear a lot of blue.
I wanted to make something a bit more cohesive across all seasons so I had a play about on Picmonkey:
I had my colours done when I was about 16 (hey, it was the 1980s and a thing!). I found my little Filofax thing (I told you it was the 80s!) and this tallies pretty strongly with the colours I was told to wear then. I have dark hair, blue eyes and very pale skin (incidentally a combination catered for very badly by magazine beauty columns - it is normally assumed that brunettes have brown eyes and medium skin and people with blue eyes have light hair!). This makes me a Winter, and I was apparently a True Winter. Here's the colour chart for that:

Looking forward to the next task!
