During the same time I had great religious trials also. Two Utah brethren had for most of the time been living in my house for over one year. One of these brethren was president of the New Zealand mission. His name was Elijah. F. Pearce, and the other brother's name was George Batt. Both of these brethren did a great deal which was not proper for missionaries to do, and when they came home to Utah they were both cut off from the church for adultery. Pearce after a long time was re-baptized into the church again, but Batt stole a team and wagon and took one of his wives with him and has never been heard from since up to this time [1896]. Wm. M. Brombey from Springville, Utah arrived to preside over the mission, and he stopped in my house for quite a while together with N. H. Groesbeck.
Ola eventually learned a new trade of weaving baskets. He made everything from Baby Carriages to Chairs, and became quite prosperous doing so.
Still had meetings in my house every Sunday, and a few came and visited our meetings. Brother Nordstrand then went away to North Island and I was set apart as President of Christchurch Branch which position I held until I left New Zealand.
Ola described his business ventures and his missionary efforts during his last years of his stay in New Zealand.
During my stay in New Zealand I baptized 19 people. Two or three of them were my own children. The last man I baptized in New Zealand was John Phillips, just about one month before we left the country. The last missionary there who stopped with us was Charles Hayborn. He came from Australia and gave us a call on the road from there to North Island. Most of all the missionaries labored amongst Maoris on the North Island.
Finally, a friend he had baptized inherited some money from his father in England and offered to help pay part of the Larson Family's cost to emigrate to Utah.
I sold out my business to my brother-in-law James Nelson who had been working with me for several years, but he paid a very small amount for my stock and materials. Part of my tools I brought with me so after eleven years' experience on the island I said goodbye to all my friends after which the Christchurch branch of the church broke up, there being no one to preside and then most of the saints removed to North Island and a few apostatized. There were only left a few scattered saints. The four sisters Roundtree who had received the Gospel through my wife's labor shortly after left and went to Auckland, and John Phillips emigrated to Utah about two years later. Three of the Roundtree girls went to Utah but one, the youngest, went back to Christchurch again to her parents, their parents not being in the church. We had our last meeting in my house on the 15th of July 1885, and on the 16th we left Christchurch and went on board the steamship Manaponi in Lyttelton.
They arrived in Auckland and boarded a large steamer, the Zealandia, on the 21st of July 1885 bound for San Francisco, California. From there they went on to Utha and settled in Logan.

Preface: some folks might wonder why I am posting a review on running shoes instead of photography equipment. The answer is simple: when you sometimes carry 30-40lbs of camera gear, it's important to stay in top shape to ensure you maximize your time on site, not getting to and from it. This is especially true at altitude when photographing wildlife! The benefits you receive in return are better endurance and fewer missed opportunities, more so when working in unusually tough weather conditions, especially in very hot/humid (110F) weather.

The popular GT-2140 from ASICS maximizes comfort and stability for a running shoe thats second to none. This versatile shoe features a durable synthetic and breathable mesh upper with a ComforDry sockliner for optimal cushioning and dry comfort. The DuoMax support system and the Impact Guidance Sys...
Excellent shoe for my return to running
Sizing: Feels true to size
Width: Feels true to width
Pros: Comfortable, Breathable, Absorbs Shock, Good Arch Support, Lightweight, Good Traction
Best Uses: Track, Pavement, Trails
Describe Yourself: Competitive Athlete
Arch Type: High Arch
Short background: a former competitive cross-country runner, cross country skier and cyclist since high school. Due to repetitive injuries from running, I turned to cycling and cross country skiing, including competition in the elite events for several years (internationally ranked races, including World Cup Ski Loppett). I returned to running road events (10K) several years later and by my third 10K I was already approaching 36 minutes as a personal best.
Fast forward to Dec. '09... I started researching a replacement for my older Asics, knowing they have models with a toe box to accommodate my foot. I have a wide foot (2E) with a narrow heel and high arches, so getting a good fit out of the box was paramount. The first pair had a right heel misfit so I sent them back. Onlineshoes' return policy and simple process either over the phone or online was quite simple - kudos to them!
The second pair fit correctly, no pressure point on the right inside rear of the heel. The construction is excellent - full sole stitching under the insole. I can honestly say that my first choice was the right choice! I normally run minimal amounts of road - usually grassy surfaces or trails- since it's less impact and involves more use of your stabilizing muscles so your ankles, etc. become stronger as a result. Without a doubt, some of the most comfortable shoes I've ever started running with! Very light, cushion well, but I can still feel the surface beneath my feet enough to have feedback on the terrain I'm running on. Even icy surfaces weren't that nerve wracking to run on.
I would definitely recommend both these shoes - they are a very good all round shoe! Best for road and packed trail running because they seem to grip well. Wouldn't hesitate to buy from Onlineshoes.com again.

For what conditions has acupuncture treatment been found helpful?
The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Consensus Development Program was established in 1977 and is designed to assess health technology. The program organizes major conferences that produce consensus statements and technology assessment statements on controversial issues in medicine important to health care providers, patients, and the general public. The following statement is from the NIH Consensus Development Statement on Acupuncture on November 3-5, 1997.
Acupuncture as a therapeutic intervention is widely practiced in the United States. There have been many studies of its potential usefulness. However, many of these studies provide equivocal results because of design, sample size, and other factors. The issue is further complicated by inherent difficulties in the use of appropriate controls, such as placebo and sham acupuncture groups.
However, promising results have emerged, for example, efficacy of acupuncture in adult post-operative and chemotherapy nausea and vomiting and in post-operative dental pain. There are other situations such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, fibromyalgia, myofascial pain, osteoarthritis, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma where acupuncture may be useful as an adjunct treatment or an acceptable alternative or be included in a comprehensive management program.
Findings from basic research have begun to elucidate the mechanisms of action of acupuncture, including the release of opioids and other peptides in the central nervous system and the periphery and changes in neuroendocrine function. Although much needs to be accomplished, the emergence of plausible mechanisms for the therapeutic effects of acupuncture is encouraging.
The introduction of acupuncture into the choice of treatment modalities that are readily available to the public is in its early stages. Issues of training, licensure, and reimbursement remain to be clarified. There is sufficient evidence, however, of acupuncture's value to expand its use into conventional medicine and to encourage further studies of its physiology and clinical value. This statement is representative of the opinions of current standard medical practice.

A Tale of Two Syllogisms
MAJOR PREMISE: The teaching authority or Magisterium of the Church enjoys the "certain charism of truth" in matters of faith. All authentic acts of the Magisterium enjoy the divine assistance necessary for the indefectible transmission of the Faith. The doctrine proposed by the authentic Magisterium is binding on the faithful to the degree that it demands our assent.
MINOR PREMISE: The documents of Vatican II promulgated by the Pope are authentic acts of the Magisterium.
CONCLUSION: The teachings of the Second Vatican Council demand an appropriate level of assent by the faithful and are guaranteed to be free from doctrinal errors against the faith.
SSPX OBJECTION 1: : But the council introduced novel doctrines that contradict the former Magisterium and Tradition.
SSPX OBJECTION 2: Furthermore, the council was merely "pastoral" in nature and therefore it did not have the intention to bind or demand the assent of the faithful.
ROMAN RESPONSE 1: Where there exist "difficulties in understanding the continuity of certain Conciliar Teachings with the tradition, the Catholic attitude, having taken into account the unity of the Magisterium, is to seek a unitive interpretation in which the texts of the Second Vatican Council and the preceding Magisterial documents illuminate each other." (Msgr. Ocariz)
ROMAN RESPONSE 2: "...the pastoral motivation of the Council does not mean that it was not doctrinal – since all pastoral activity is necessarily based on doctrine. But, above all, it is important to emphasise that precisely because doctrine is aimed at salvation, the teaching of doctrine is an integral part of all pastoral work. Furthermore, within the Documents of the Council it is obvious that there are many strictly doctrinal teachings: on Divine Revelation, on the Church, etc."
MAJOR PREMISE: The teaching authority or Magisterium of the Church enjoys the "certain charism of truth" in matters of faith. All authentic acts of the Magisterium enjoy the divine assistance necessary for the indefectible transmission of the Faith. The doctrine proposed by the authentic Magisterium is binding on the faithful to the degree that it demands our assent.
MINOR PREMISE: It is evident that the documents of Vatican II (a merely "pastoral council") contain doctrinal errors against the faith.
CONCLUSION: The erroneous teachings of the Second Vatican Council are the fruit of a merely "pastoral magisterium" and not legitimate or authentic acts of the Magisterium, properly speaking, demanding the assent of the faithful.
ROMAN OBJECTION: No, you must obey the legitimate authority and give due assent to the doctrine proposed by the Magisterium, otherwise you contradict the "incontestable principles" that you have affirmed in the "major premise" and effectively become protestant.
SSPX RESPONSE: "...the exercise of the magisterium is the employment of a function: even if most of the time this usage is correct, it always remains possible that the titular of a function may exercise the act defectively, which amounts to failing to accomplish the act...It thus appears that this magisterium was marked by a grave deficiency in its very act...when a council produces bad teaching, it is not the work of the magisterium; in fact, it is contrary to the magisterium, that is to say, against Tradition." (SSPX)
Indeed, these disparate points of view are nothing new. The same basic lines of argumentation go back to the 70's as expressed in a letter from Pope Paul VI to Marcel Lefebvre:
"Nothing that was decreed in this Council, or in the reforms that We enacted in order to put the Council into effect, is opposed to what the two-thousand-year-old Tradition of the Church considers as fundamental and immutable. We are the guarantor of this, not in virtue of Our personal qualities but in virtue of the charge which the Lord has conferred upon Us as legitimate Successor of Peter, and in virtue of the special assistance that He has promised to Us as well as to Peter: 'I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail' (Lk 22:32)...Again, you cannot appeal to the distinction between what is dogmatic and what is pastoral, to accept certain texts of this Council and to refuse others. Indeed, not everything in the Council requires an assent of the same nature: only what is affirmed by the definitive acts as and object of faith requires an assent of faith. But the rest also forms part of the solemn Magisterium of the Church, to which each member of the faithful owes a confident acceptance and a sincere application.
You say moreover that you do not always see how to reconcile certain texts of the Council, or certain dispositions which We have enacted in order to put the Council into practice, with the wholesome Tradition of the Church...Absolutely secure counsellors, theologians, and spiritual directors would be able to help you...and We are ready to facilitate this fraternal assistance for you." (Pope Paul VI, Letter to Archbishop Lefebvre, October 11, 1976; taken from Apologia Pro Marcel Lefebvre, Davies, Angelus Press, 1979, vol. I, p. 322)
Indeed, in his letter, Pope Paul VI firmly rebukes Marcel Lefebvre for characterizing Rome as "Neo-Modernist" and "Neo-Protestant" and calling the Archbishop's behavior "contradictory" by attempting to defend the authority of the Magisterium by opposing the Pope and the Council. The Holy Father had indicated that the root of the "problem is theological" insofar as the Archbishop adheres to an "ecclesiology that is warped in essential points" as well as a "distorted" concept of Tradition. From the perspective of the Holy See, these are precisely the "theological" and "doctrinal" points that must be overcome. From the perspective of the SSPX, however, the problem lies with Rome and its "defective" and "contradictory" teachings issued from the council.
Q. Can the Church err in what she proposes for our belief?
A. No, the Church cannot err in what she proposes for our belief, since according to the promise of Jesus Christ she is unfailingly assisted by the Holy Ghost.

The stock market isn't just about how much money the Federal Reserve is printing. US earnings season is less than three weeks away. And expectations aren't pretty, reports our sister publication in the US, the 5 Minute Forecast. This charts shows how the forecast earnings have been tumbling while stocks have been getting more expensive relative to those earnings:
In the end, shares are worth what a company is worth. And that's determined by profits, among other things of course. If profits fall, but stocks are getting more expensive, something has to give.
The question is whether profits will surge or stock prices will fall. A poor earnings season could delay Dectaper even further.
Yesterday's article on how shifting demographics could pull the rug out from under the stock market and Australia's retirement system prompted some interesting feedback. Here's our favourite email:
'Nick Hubble & some others seem to take a very simplistic & naive view of the share market. As if all the retirees are just going to sell all their shares, all at once in unison. Bit like economists who have all been taught from the same text books at uni where every component acts in a singular rational way. Life is not like that except when you are young, lacking experience. It may come as a surprise to Nick to learn that shares can actually provide an income merely from nice franking credits & I think most common sense analysts would agree. The world will go on with ups & downs but with luck we'll all survive & prosper. M.M.'
Well, we may be young. But we're not naive about the importance of income investments to your portfolio's long-term success. Our very first issue of The Money for Life Letter was about how to add a compounding effect to dividend paying shares using a tactic few dividend investors know about.
But, more importantly, our argument yesterday was that the tide is going to change. In a few years, we'll reach high tide on the direction of retirement savings. As the population ages, more and more people will begin selling their assets to pay for day to day expenses in retirement, instead of buying assets in preparation for retirement. Cash will flow out of investment markets on a net basis, adding supply and reducing demand. That means lower prices.
If you want to keep swimming against the tide once it changes direction, stick to growth companies and their capital gains. Good luck to you. You'll find The Money for Life Letter subscribers doing what M.M. suggested above. Earning dividend income.
The crucial thing to understand is something called first mover advantage. If people realise that retirees will be selling up in droves, they will want out. The first person to escape the stock market's growth stocks will get the best price. That's why there may be a sudden rush.

Partial Homeschooling For Gifted Students
In my school district, Lake Washington School District (LWSD), there is a waitlist for students who have qualified for our gifted education program (known as "Quest-Highly Capable"). Qualifying for gifted education involves earning high scores on standardized tests, including day-long testing on Saturdays, as well as strong teacher recommendations and consistently high grades on report cards. Yet the reward for some students who make it through that arduous process isn't a spot in a gifted classroom, but a number on a waitlist. Even worse, students may only stay on the waitlist for only one year; after that the student must re-test and re-qualify all over again. LWSD states that while it does the best it can to offer gifted education to every student who qualifies, it does not have the resources, particularly the classroom space, to offer gifted education to all qualifying students.
Nancy Mann Jackson of Scholastic.com writes that some school districts and parents are tackling this problem through partial homeschooling. With partial homeschooling, parents and districts work together by allowing students to attend their traditional public school for part of the day, then take advanced classes or work on projects on their own time. It is a highly individualized approach that allows talented students to pursue their passions.
According to Kathi Kearney of the Gifted Development Center, gifted children are the fastest-growing group to leave traditional institutions for homeschooling because of the shortage of gifted education options. With partial homeschooling, students can take classes at their traditional school, and then pursue gifted education in alternative settings (online, at home, at a community college, with a tutor, etc.). A partial home school student can still access school activities such as sports or clubs. This flexible approach can provide the best of both worlds for gifted students; students are engaged with academic work that challenges them, while they also maintain important social bonds with their school community.

June 26- Day 50
June 26- Day 50
Fifty days. I'm impressed with myself. But needless to say when I'm staying at a friendly house being served dinner and having a bath and a nice bed and then breakfast, you feel a little less the Indiana Jones type. Of course, even Indy appreciates every opportunity to clean up and get refreshed, and this did the trick nicely.
After a breakfast of cheese, mushroom and onion omelette, I did the interview with Bev (Mel's mom), since I did see her fairly often when visiting Mel before they left for Kincardine.
If all goes well (and lately I don't know if that's possible) I will be in Nobleton today. At the latest by tomorrow.
I'm lunching at a nice town called Mildmay, about 50k into today's journey. It's almost noon and I'm close to topping my other two days distances! I feel confident about reaching Nobleton by tonight.
Normally when I need a microwave I give my entire preamble about the trip before asking if I can use it. Today I just barged into a Beckers and said "Where's the microwave?" then proceeded to take over the entire corner in the preparation of lunch (another mac&cheese+tuna). Afterwards I explained the situation.
The ride so far hasn't been eventful, just lots of riding, lots of scenery, the odd chat with a local. Only a so-called "Zoo" on the side of the road
caught my attention. Think a couple dozen small pens with animals in each by the side of the road. More like a prison than a proper zoo.
Time spent cycling: 7:11:18 hours
Distance traveled: 169.84 km
Total distance: 3987 km
Average Speed: 23.6 kph
Maximum speed: 63.7 kph
Current Location: Jason and Mel's in Nobleton (north of Toronto)
A long ride today, not the longest, but a good long run. I wasn't really interested in the sights and there weren't really any to see. I did see a horse and buggy riding along in the other direction. We looked at each other pass, the past and the future.
At Orangeville, not much to see, but I took a break and ate some Zoodles (Zoodles are animal noodles, don't ya know). Eventually I hit highway 50
heading south, and stopped about 20k shy of Jason and Mel's place. They gave me a ride the rest of the way, and we got some groceries and picked
up pizza and wings. So right now I'm relaxing and chatting the night away with old friends. Things are right in the world.
June 27- July 11 Days 51-65
The Southern Ontario Layover. Again, only highlights will be mentioned, other than that I'll simply be resting and relaxing, with the occasional loafing around thrown in for good measure.
Jason found a classic old game which Wyatt and I had got him many years ago: King of the Sandbox. It's a tabletop strategy wargame set to a pre-school recess environment. You try to influence kids to join your side and beat other kids up. Weapons include sand (to blind) sticks, pails (to carry things) and shovels. You can bribe kids to join you with loose change, and that change can also be used to buy chocolate bars (good for bribing or restoring a kid who's been beaten up), or pop (same thing except it can also be used as a flash-bang grenade when shaken up). I'm going to make a copy of this game and bring it to B.C. for everyone to try.
The next couple days were uneventful, just relaxing, playing the computer, watching TV...
On Friday I went to see Wyatt. Jason could only take me as far as York University, so I unexpectedly had a trip down memory lane.
It's only been a couple years, but I really miss this place. Part of me wants to go back to university and get my Masters, maybe become a teacher...
But then I got to thinking. WHY do I miss the place? Do I actually enjoy school, or is this a "safe" place. After all, what is the one constant I've had from 5 until almost 25? School. So by leaving it behind, I'm leaving behind something I've lived with for nearly twenty years.
Granted, I do enjoy learning, and regret not having put a stronger effort into it when I had the chance, but when you walk down the familiar corridors and even remember the smell of the air, education can't be the only factor in my desire to return. Food for thought.
Speaking of food, I had a chicken shawarma at their mini mall. I love the ones in Vancouver (The Falafel House on Granville, I highly recommend it if you're in the neighborhood), and this came close, but not close enough. Not enough sauce. But I digress...
I've actually been kinda depressed the past few days. At first it was great to be back with Jason and Mel and now seeing Wyatt... but the ever present sense that I can't stay, that I have to move on and face the conditions I have been for fifty days for who knows how many more, it puts a damper on the situation. The fact we can't all get together in one place doesn't help, either. I've never wholly believed in the saying "you can't go home again", but times like this make me wonder.
As I ride the subway I have this strange feeling... like I never left Toronto. Like Vancouver and Victoria were either just a long vacation, or a very real dream. B.C. suddenly feels like the past.
That changes as soon as I'm at Wyatt's apartment. There is nothing familiar here, except for a few items he had when we shared an apartment. It's a
weird little place, it is. First off, you have to go through three sets of doors to get inside, each one smaller and in a darker room than the last. I half
expected a small table with a bottle of liquid that had a card beside it which read "Drink Me".
Am I a writer?
This question has been plaguing me since I left Victoria. This trip is supposed to be for a book I'm going to write, yet I constantly question my ability to write it. To write at all. Often times I feel like I'm just pretending to be something I'm not. That I'm just a GM worker in denial. That is my greatest fear: to aspire to be something special when I am and always will be mediocre...
Imagine an ape who learns to communicate with people through sign language. The smartest ape ever. And over the years as he is taught by people and communicate with them, he can actually realize how much the world has to offer. He also realizes that he can never be a part of any of it. Because the smartest monkey in the world is still just a dumb ape. He realizes he can never drive a car, understand poetry or books or plays, speak a single word of english, or be respected as an equal. The closest he can hope for is to drive a modified golf cart on a closed track under close supervision, have "A is for Apple" read to him over and over, grunt and howl and try in vain to get meaning across vocally, and be coddled like a child forever. Imagine being able to glimpse at a world greater than your own, yet never be able to be part of it, no matter how hard you try or wish it to be so.
Welcome to my idea of Hell, and my greatest fear is that I'm already in it.
Canada Day gave me a chance to play soldier. With eight other people I spent the day playing paintball. I actually did quite well, got killed a couple
times, but survived and won when it counted. Wyatt and I worked well as a team, which bodes well for the coming continuation of my journey.
Wyatt, however, had his own problems, running straight into a rust barbed wire fence and scratching his abdomen all up. After the game we went to
the hospital and waited two hours just to get him a lousy tetnis shot.
The next day, I found myself waking up, eating, using the computer, then repeatedly napping until nearly five in the afternoon. I then helped a friend
of Wyatt's to move, and found myself napping again on the couch waiting for someone to show up with a moving van.
A thought: It's been well over fifty days since I left home for this journey. A journey which I have wondered since day one whether it will change my life, whether I'll be the same person when it's over. And right now, during a nap, I realized something. Hell no! I realized that few people could ever have a profound experience that fundamentally changes who they are. Those that claim to are being wholly artificial. People can be ready for change, but real change is something of slow degrees, not in a blinding flash. Anyone who changes overnight is probably fooling themselves. You can suddenly become consciously aware of a part of yourself that was always there but never noticed, you can learn from your mistakes with varying degrees of success, and you can even make resolutions for change and stick to them through willpower. But you can't change who you fundamentally are because of a single journey or revelation.
For example, I don't think people on Death Row who suddenly "find Jesus" are any different or better than they were before. They may WANT to be, sincerely and honestly. This can affect their outward demeanor, and make them seem like some woe-filled and nearly noble saint willing to die for their sins. But it is a show, but on for their own benefit as much as anyone else's.
But this is too easy a target. The same is true of most people who have had a profound change in their life. A person's desire to be a different person can cause them to ACT differently, and fool everyone, including themselves. But the core of being cannot be changed so easily, and if the facade doesn't break down quickly, it's only because it's not so wholly incompatible with their previous life as you might think.
The human consciousness is, in a manner of speaking, a series of switches. If you look at it in very general terms, our switches work in the same way.
Hand on flame = Pain
Sight of favorite food = Salivation
News of loved one's death = Sorrow
In car that loses control = Fear
But like a Jacquard's Loom, the pattern you get is determined entirely by which holes you punch in the card. A person can be taught to react to stimulus in a way that is not considered by most of us to be normal.
Hand on flame = get a rush
Sight of favorite food = nausea
News of loved one's death = laughter
In car that loses control = Turned on
After hours of helping Wyatt's friends move, I went to a BBQ at Jen's house (across the street from Wyatt). While the menu was entirely vegetarian, the food was quite good, and Nanaimo bars to boot! Mmmmmm...
Saw Fight Club and stayed up until nearly five in the morning. Good God, I'm here fore three days and already I'm Wyatt!
The movie was great. It got me thinking about a lot of things, it's definitely good for that purpose. However, one thing I can't help but think about had nothing to do with the movie at all, it was something I read in the information booklet about its making. Apparently 85% of all books are bought by middle aged women. It made me worry about the fate of writers daring to be different, who are already on the margins, and will end up even more so in the future. What happens when that 85% becomes 100% and those writers who are even a minor risk for not making money are forced into a medium that has nearly no overhead and nearly all profit: the internet.
The internet could become the bastion of the damned. Those who don't fit into the bestselling formula will be forced to spread the word online. I like the internet, and always have, but in the case of publication I always wanted it to go hand in hand with the printed word. An option, not a cyber goolag for new writers or alternative writers or anything that doesn't sound like an instant hit. A virtual prison, where the prisoners have megaphones and can yell at the distant city all they want and attract attention any way they can, but denied the prestige of physical publication. Perhaps someone gains popular approval, and enough of a gathering that the publishing warden let them free and grants them a licence to print. That author now becomes considered "legit".
The internet is an ethereal place, full of ideas, but not corporeal. Not physically real. Deleting a file is far easier than burning a book, and has no moral repercussions. Think of the possible repercussions here. Say a hundred years ago an author gets ten thousand copies of a book published, and never publishes again. I'm willing to bet that at least one thousand (and probably more) of those books would have survived to present day. Lost in attics, on dusty book shelves, in old libraries, used book stores, ect... Each one has the opportunity to attract a reader's eye, draw them in, read the book, and give it life again. Maybe they'll like it so much they'll tell their friends and share it with them. The ideas of the author lives.
Contrast with the internet. Ten thousand copies of the book are downloaded onto computers and the author never publishes again. Just how many of those files do you think will survive one YEAR?
Maybe the nature of information is going to change because of this, and a person will have to work infinitely harder if their words are going to last?
I have no idea.
Where the hell did the time go??? Last thing I remember I bought Starcraft for Wyatt's computer a few days ago and now I'm in a GO train station with a foggy haze of memory of the two of us doing nothing but play Starcraft every day until the wee hours of the morning...
I exaggerate, but the time has flown by faster than I felt it necessary to record. Heading to Oshawa now and on Monday, if all goes well, Wyatt and
I will be leaving together. However, things rarely turn out the way I plan. Already Wyatt has serious problems at school regarding his courses for
next term and the credits he should already have, and I fear he might have to forsake our adventure together. I thought as much would happen. It's
not his fault, but I've had a feeling it might happen for quite some time now.
Why is it that part of me is loathe to visit here again? Maybe because I spent the better part of my life trying to leave? Maybe because I arrived
alone, and because I may leave alone as well? What am I afraid of? Sorry that I have only questions right now, but they vex me. I feel... annoyed
somehow, and yet I have no logical reason to feel so. It's just Oshawa, the place I was born... why should I hold contempt for this city?
This house has had some kind of effect on me. I feel drained, lethargic, tired, passive. I also feel restless, pensive, and fidgety. Grandma received a pad of fridge magnets words which you can arrange in any order. It's obviously meant to be inspirational, and nauseatingly so. Every third word is something like "success", "achieve", or "perseverance".
I was not in an inspirational mood, but I was in a creative one. Here's what I managed to make out of the word pad (without reusing words)
First the mountains were hard work
every person you find gives help
now quit your dreams
I'm doing time
the destination is a dream
and I don't dare think
except of you
My love
Do you limit me?
Spent the day hanging out with James, Dan, Jason, and Mel. Got a copy made of King of the Sandbox at last. But mostly just drove around town and window shopped. Mailed off my latest package to Gillian.
I was a little annoyed at Wyatt today. He didn't show up until midnight. Jason and Mel headed back to Nobleton already. Like I said, it's not his fault. It never is, but it always happen. I hold him no grudge, I know that shit happens, but when it happens all the time you can't help but be annoyed. All I wanted was one lousy hour with everyone together. Just one.
Found out just a minute ago that Tracy had a motorcycle accident! She broke her hip and wrist, and will be off her feet for eight weeks. Made my
road rash seem pretty pathetic, doesn't it? Hope she heals quickly and ss riding again soon!
On Monday, we were supposed to leave. Up to this point, I've been spiraling down into a lethargic cycle, but one day back on the road will change that. What I'm more concerned about is that I'm scared to leave! I think it's because part of me is convinced that Wyatt won't come with me, even though he is here with all his gear.
His "gear" consists of an old sleeping bag, foam bedroll, and tarp for sleeping. On the front is a wicker basket for everything else. And I thought I was a minimalist adventurer.
We had to delay for a day, after getting some odds and ends and finally ready to travel, but after a minor accident, Wyatt's rear wheel had to go into a bike shop to get it trued. On top of that, Wyatt's YTV project turned out to be flawed. He has to go back for the day and fix it up. Wyatt just has this kind of luck. You get used to it. Honest.
But this turned out to be a good thing, since I got grandma to do the survey with me. I had to type it out since she didn't want her voice recorded,
the first one so far (I thought there would have been many more to be honest).
Guess what? Wyatt was delayed again. What a surprise. I hate repeating myself but, it's not his fault. He says he'll be here in time for us to leave
by noon. We'll see. If that's the case, you'll hear from me next when we reach Ottawa.
Onto Day 66...

Sylvia Robinson, 'The Mother of The Hip-Hop Business,' Remembered by Chuck D, MC Lyte, More
The Sugar Hill Records co-founder died Thursday of congestive heart failure.
Sylvia Robinson, who died early today of congestive heart failure at the age of 76, is best known for producing the first commercially successful rap recording: the Sugarhill Gang's 1979 hit "Rapper's Delight." But this pioneer, widely regarded as the "mother of hip-hop," also broke ground in the male-dominated music industry as a groundbreaking female songwriter/producer and label executive.
"Hip-hop, unlike R&B, began with a sense of black equity," says Dan Charnas, author of the 2010 book The Big Payback: The History of the Business of Hip-Hop. "And Sylvia is the reason why. She not only produced 'Rapper's Delight,' she created and owned the Sugar Hill label with her husband Joe. She was the mother of the hip-hop business and a pioneer."

"Sylvia Robinson was a huge inspiration," female rap icon MC Lyte told Billboard.biz. "Here was a woman who had launched her own label and was calling the shots! She literally changed the way many looked at the game and certainly created a path for many women to become a part of the music business in executive positions."
Robinson started out in the business as a singer. Born Sylvia Vanderpool on March 6, 1936 in New York City, she first enjoyed chart success as one-half of the duo Mickey and Sylvia, which scored a No. 1 R&B hit in 1956 with "Love Is Strange." With husband Joe Robinson, she established All Platinum Records in 1968 and groomed R&B hits in the '70s by Donnie Elbert (a cover of the Supremes' "Where Did Our Love Go") and Shirley Goodman (Shirley & Company's "Shame, Shame, Shame"). Robinson also co-wrote "Love on a Two-Way Street," recorded by the Moments, a trio she formed for All Platinum subsidiary Stang Records. Spending five weeks at No. 1 on the R&B chart in 1970, the radio perennial has since been sampled on the Jay-Z and Alicia Keys blockbuster "Empire State of Mind," which logged five weeks at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 2009.
Three years later, Robinson moaned her way to No. 1 as a solo artist with the sexy "Pillow Talk" on Vibration Records, also owned by the Robinsons. Al Green has originally been asked to record the song, but he turned it down.
"Talk" peaked at No. 1 R&B and No. 3 pop.
However, it was in 1979 that Robinson began forging her indelible mark on an emerging art form that began taking shape at clubs and dance parties in New York. Inspired after listening to people rap over instrumental breaks, Robinson formed the Sugarhill Gang. Comprised Michael "Wonder Mike" Wright, Guy "Master Gee" O'Brien and Henry "Big Bank Hank" Jackson, the trio rapped over a rhythm track that sampled Chic's 1979 R&B/pop hit "Good Times." It was the first commercial hit for the burgeoning rap revolution and for Robinson and her husband's post-All Platinum label Sugar Hill Records, named after Harlem, NY's Sugar Hill neighborhood.
Robinson later signed seminal rap act Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five to Sugar Hill. The group struck top five (No. 4) status on the R&B charts with the socially conscious "The Message," featuring Melle Mel and Duke Bootee in 1982. The group was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2007.
"'Ms. Rob doin' the job' was a rhyme boast on recordings from Grandmaster Flash & the Furious Five," Public Enemy frontman Chuck D recalled to Billboard.biz. "Sylvia's artistic talent and public notoriety have been mimicked without due credit for the past 30 years in the recorded art form she birthed. She was a black woman who pushed the button and turned the key to crank up a billion-dollar industry."
Courting success as well as controversy -- including concerns over business practices and a decades-long legal battle with the Sugarhill Gang -- Sylvia and her late husband Joe sold the Chess Records catalog they'd purchased in the '70s to MCA Records. Their son Joey was a member of the dance trio West Street Mob, which notched a top 20 R&B single in 1981 with "Let's Dance (Make Your Body Move)."
Funeral arrangements for Robinson are still pending.

A 125-gallon aquarium is 72 inches long, 18 inches wide and 21 inches tall. Glass aquariums of this size weigh approximately 206 pounds before being filled and 1,400 pounds filled. Acrylic aquariums weigh less.
Glass aquariums are usually preferred over acrylic aquariums because they are less expensive and more scratch-resistant, although scratches can be polished out of acrylic. They also don't yellow over time. Acrylic aquariums have several advantages, such as being more crack-resistant and lighter. Aquariums vary in size, ranging from less than 1/2 gallon to millions of gallons. The largest aquarium in the world is the 12.87 million gallon aquarium in China's Ocean Kingdom as of 2014.

There are different challenges that can occur when searching for pet friendly apartments in Glen Allen, VA. Tragically, housing problems are one of the main reasons that pets are given up to animal shelters.
We don't want you or your pet to become part of this statistic.
Finding a place where you and your pets are welcome may take some time and patience, but with the following steps, you can increase your chances of success. Conduct a search for apartments where pets are welcome. Give yourself as much time as possible to search. Research animal-friendly listings and Realtors.
At the very least, make sure that your lease doesn't say "no pets allowed." Don't assume that you're allowed to have pets because you see other pets on the property, and don't take anyone's word (even that of a Realtor) that it's OK to have pets. What matters is what's written in your lease. Make sure you get a copy of it when you sign it. If there is a pet deposit or monthly fee, make sure these are specified in writing in the lease. Sometimes the pet deposit or monthly pet fees can be discussed with the landlord and negotiated. Even if the landlord advertises "no pets," it is worth asking if you can discuss the matter.
Put your pet's best foot forward to your potential landlord. Get a letter from your veterinarian that says your pet is up-to-date on vaccines and spayed/neutered. Invite the landlord to meet your pet. Be willing to pay a reasonable extra amount in rent or pay a refundable pet deposit.
As a tenant, you have rights. Knowing those rights can help you keep your pet if any issues arise. Review your lease. Typically if a lease does not mention pets at all, then you are allowed to have pets. Some communities and public housing authorities have laws and rules banning certain types of animals or breeds of dogs. Be sure to check if any local laws or rules are in effect, as these outweigh your lease. Contracts like leases cannot just be changed without both sides agreeing, unless there is already language in the document that allows the change. Your landlord cannot go into your apartment and remove a pet, or show up and force you or your pet out. Landlords have to follow the law and go through a legal process to remove tenants or their pets. Generally the landlord cannot even enter the home without giving the tenant notice except in an emergency, unless the lease specifies otherwise.
Make sure you have reviewed your lease before signing and be truthfully with your landlord so you and your pet have a happy long term home.

Halal Law Update
Businesses in wait-and-see mode for government to settle issues with mandatory halal certification
By Gilang Ardana
Tuesday, March 13, 2018
In the latest inter-ministerial meeting led by the State Secretariat on February 2 to discuss government regulations on Halal certification, it was reported that many ministries attending disagreed with a draft presented by the Ministry of Religious Affairs. The State Secretariat decided to give the draft back to the religious affairs ministry to be adjusted based on concerns from other ministries.
This added to the long debate over government attempts to create implementing regulations for Law No. 33 of 2014 on Halal Product Assurance (the Halal Law). The law stirred controversy as it shifted voluntary halal certification to mandatory certification and expanded the object of certification to all "goods and/or services that are related to food, beverages, drugs, cosmetics, chemical products, biological products, genetically engineered products, as well as consumer goods that are worn, used or utilized by the public."
The government was mandated by the law with two significant tasks: to create its own certification body – the Halal Product Assurance Organizing Agency (BPJPH) – which was inaugurated in October 2017; and to settle the mechanism for halal registration. The latter task invited heavy debate with various industry associations due to the complexity of the issue.
In a seminar on January 24, a BPJPH representative said the implementing regulation would call for the complete implementation of the Law, including for pharmaceuticals, by October 2019, while previously it was reported that the pharma side of the Law would be phased in over a five-year period.
The Ministry of Law and Human Rights reportedly decided the phasing was inconsistent with Article 67 of the 2014 law, which it interpreted as requiring full implementation by 2019, hence no grace period for pharma. The inclusion of pharma under the mandatory demand that all products go through the Halal certification process raised serious concerns about market access for pharmaceutical products in Indonesia.
Officials also noted in the seminar that there would be no legal sanctions for noncompliance with the mandatory certification, because the law did not specify any sanctions. This led the private sector to adopt a wait-and-see mode on the regulation.
Paustinus Siburian, an advocate, filed a judicial review of the Halal Law and the first session of the review was in early January. On February 21, the Constitutional Court rejected the motion, ending the judicial review process of the Law. In its decision, the court said that the request filed was unclear.
Businesses are now waiting for the next update from the drafting of the implementing regulations. AmCham will keep monitoring developments on this issue.

Metastases, Micrometastases and Ferromagnetic Theory of Cancer. Metastasis is the spread of a disease-producing agency from the initial or primary site of disease to another part of the body. Malignant tumor cells and infections (pathogenic microorganisms) have the capacity to metastasize. Micrometastasis (or isolated tumor cells) is a form of metastasis in which the newly formed tumors are too minuscule to be detected. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy are directed at killing any metastases and micrometastases. The treatment options currently available are rarely able to cure metastatic cancer. Secondary or metastatic tumors are very common in the late stages of cancer. Pancreatic metastases and micrometastases killed Steve Jobs, the most beloved billionaire in the World. The Ferromagnetic Theory of Cancer is Theory from The Old Testament. Cancer is the first-born of death (Job 18:13).

16 Dec REVITALIZING THE ANIMATED VIDEO
Due to the increasing role of Social Media Platforms as a Go-To for Content, There is an opportunity to capture more users at once, however more appropriate content is required for this delivery format.

Think Fast. Stay Sharp.
Neural connections in our brain start declining as early as age 20, by age 45 this decline occurs even more rapidly. Studies show the key ingredients in MindWorks help improve mental sharpness and focus and support long-term cognitive health.*
Scientific studies have shown the key ingredients work in 3 ways:
3x Better Memory & Focus Improvements - Immediate improvement in cognitive performance 3X better than the control group†
Over time, neural connections become less efficient, impairing our ability to recall, think, and respond. A key nutrient in MindWorks was shown in multiple clinical studies to significantly enhance memory, sharpen focus, and improve reaction time.*
30% LESS Shrinkage Rate of the Brain - Protects against age-related mental decline*
Key nutrients in MindWorks were shown in laboratory studies to promote the formation of new neural connections and in a clinical study to reduce brain shrinkage rate by 30% over two years.** In addition, MindWorks key nutrients were shown in laboratory studies to effectively cross the blood-brain barrier and enter the brain.*
Designed for Healthy Circulation - Supports healthy circulation*
Blood circulation is critical for delivery of oxygen and key nutrients to the brain. It is linked to neural activity.*
MindWorks™ includes free access to brain-training software
Shaklee is a leader in cognitive health by providing both nutritional support and brain-training software in one program. The MindWorks program includes a free month of access to brain training software from CogniFit.
The CognifiFit brain games are designed to:
• Strengthen neural connections
• Exercise your cognitive skills like memory and concentration

Visit Cape Verde from the UK ...
VisitCapeVerde.co.uk provides all the information and web links you need to book your next holiday to the Cape Verde Islands.
Cape Verde holidays, flights to Cape Verde from the UK, hotels and accommodation options as well as useful travel guides and web resources - all are listed here at VisitCapeVerde.co.uk. And if you dont know too much about the Cape Verde islands, start by reading our Cape Verde Travel Guide below first...
So go ahead and start planning your visit to Cape Verde now!
* * * * * * HOLIDAYS: Cape Verde Holidays
The following offer great Cape Verde package holiday deals for UK holiday-makers:
- lowcostholidays.com: cheap deals for Cape Verde package holidays - Santa Maria, Boa Vista Island and Sal Island hotel resort options
- OnTheBeach.co.uk: beach holidays on the beautiful Cape Verde Islands
- Thomson: Cape Verde holidays and flights from well-known high-street brand
- First Choice: good selection of Cape Verde package holidays
- Co-operative Travel: interesting Cape Verde holiday options
- ebookers.com: leading online travel agency, good for flight plus hotel offers
* * * * * * FLIGHTS: Flights to Cape Verde from the UK
Thomson Airways fly to Cape Verde (Sal and Boa Vista) from London Gatwick, Birmingham, Manchester and Glasgow airports.
Flights as part of a package holiday is probably the best way to reach Cape Verde.
If you just want a flight there, due to the strong Portuguese connections, it should come as no surprise that is is also possible to fly to Cape Verde with TAP Portugal Airlines with a stop-over in Lisbon - another good way to get there.
The easiest way for finding the cheapest flights to Cape Verde is to use flight search engines such as those with ebookers.com, CheapFlights.co.uk or Skyscanner.
Hailed as the new Caribbean, Cape Verde off the western coast of Africa is slowly making a name for itself as a tourist destination, promoting itself based on the beauty of its beaches, its colonial Portuguese history and its rich local culture. The larger and most inhabited islands in the archipelago have yet to be spoilt by major commercial development so peace, tranquillity and the sense of being in a genuinely unspoiled paradise are also among its biggest draws.
Santiago, the largest island, offers enough to keep visitors occupied for the duration of a holiday; however, island-hopping around the archipelago is so easy that youd be foolish to miss out on the opportunity to see the sights of the main islands São Vicente, Sal, Santo Antão and Maio (there are 10 islands in total). All of the islands have their own gorgeous beaches so when youre done viewing the interesting colonial architecture, theres plenty of opportunity for relaxing on the golden sands and enjoying the awesome views across the archipelago.
* * * * * * * *
CAPE VERDE WEATHER- When To Go
Cape Verdes climate is tropical in nature and temperatures are relatively constant for most of the year. The best time to visit is between April and July when the threat of rain is low (almost non-existent) and temperatures are hot but not blisteringly so. During this period you can expect the mercury to rise to the mid-20s (°C) at the hottest part of the day.
The country is dry for the best part of the year but experiences a rainy season between August and October. September is the wettest of these months and can see over 100mm of rain. The wet season is also the hottest period of the year with highs reaching in the upper 20s (°C).
CAPE VERDE HIGHLIGHTS - Places to Visit
- Santiago: is Cape Verdes largest and most populous island, part of the southern island group and characterised by mountainous landscapes carpeted with lush green trees and plant life. For sightseeing, skip the capital Praia and head to the World Heritage town of Cidade Velha, the islands first Portuguese settlement, where you can witness the Fort Real de San Felipe plus various old buildings and ruins. The islands beaches are lovely and one of the best can be found at the fishing village of Tarrafal, the same destination at which the old colonial prison of Salazar the Portuguese dictator can be found.
- São Vicente: is considered the most cosmopolitan and culturally-rich island in the archipelago. It is best known for Mindelo, a port town with plenty of aesthetically pleasing colonial architecture as well as a lively ambience bolstered by the annual International Jazz and Capoeira festivals. The live music scene on the island is vibrant and famous for having produced the internationally acclaimed singer Cesaria Evora. Visitors can easily spend three days enjoying the islands cultural attractions.
- Sal: give yourself two to three days on Sal, the island named after the salt pits that were dug to serve the needs of the Portuguese empire. Sal is the archipelagos most developed island and among its most populous. Espargos is the islands main town and where most of the local action can be found, as well as the bulk of its colonial architecture. If somewhere a little quieter is desired, head for the village of Santa Maria with its tranquil and paradise-like beach, where activities such as diving and windsurfing can be pursued.
- Santo Antão: is worth a day or two of your time; long enough to enjoy Ribeira Grande, its capital, and appreciate its garishly coloured but nonetheless visually interesting architecture. Stay a day longer if you want to take advantage of some of the islands hiking possibilities, which include routes such as Corda to Ribeira Grande and Ponta do Sol to the mountain village of Fontainhas.
- Maio: sits some 15 miles (25kms) east of Santiago and belongs to the Leeward group of islands. Maio is the place to head to find sheer peace and tranquillity and an absence of tourist development. Top sights include an 18th century fortress, a splendid old church and the old disused salt pits. Its deserted beaches, with their abundance of sea birds, are the biggest draw for many visitors.
CAPE VERDE HOSPITALITY - Eat, Drink, Sleep
- Food and Eating Out: Santiago and Sal offer the best selection of restaurants of all the islands in the archipelago, and visitors will find eateries offering both local and European cuisines. Popular local dishes to look out for include the lobster dish known as lagostada, the bean-based dish known as chachupa and the toasted ham and cheese sandwich known as tosta mista. Also worth a sample is the delicious shellfish soup known as caldo de camarão à moda da mãe bibi (a mouthful indeed!) and the shrimps in wine dish known as camarão em vinha de alhos.
- Entertainment and Nightlife: Nightlife options are somewhat limited and tend to be restricted to the offerings of larger hotels, at which shows and live music are common. Many hotels also have their own discotheques where the musical playlists may not be the height of cool but the atmospheres are lively. The alternative is to find one of the small beach bars where you can enjoy a more authentic local vibe.
- Accommodation: Santiago and Sal offer the best selections of hotels. As Cape Verde is doing its best to establish itself as an attractive holiday destination, visitors will find hotel staff and proprietors are keen to please and hence the standard of service is high. Try Booking.com for good holiday accommodation deals in Cape Verde.
* * * * CAPE VERDE TRAVEL INFO: Guides, Advice & Resources
QUICK FACTS: -What is commonly known as the country of Cape Verde is a group of 10 small islands off the coast of West Africa. - The Cape Verde islands are: Santo Antão, São Vicente, Santa Luzia, São Nicolau, Sal, Boa Vista, Maio, Fogo, Santiago and Brava. - As these names may suggest, Cape Verde used to be a Portuguese colony, and Portuguese remains the official language. - The population of Cape Verde is small, roughly half a million people. - Praia is the capital city. - The local currency of Cape Verde is the Escudo.

What should developers know?
When Chinese company Xidian Holdings, together with a Singapore-based consortium, signed a deal to invest $500 million to build a 232 megawatt (MW) wind and solar project in the Philippines, the next question was whether a Chinese engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract will be attached to the project.
It is no secret that Chinese EPC companies are starting to swarm the renewable market in Asia with their promise of reduced costs while maintaining high quality. But some experts warn that the risks for a bad outcome are also higher than normal when companies partner with Chinese EPC firms without fully understanding the unique system in which the latter operate.
"Without question, the potential exists to capture the opportunity of low cost, high quality projects with the potential of attractive financing," says Simon Parker, CEO of DP CleanTech, China. "But the risks are high and require detailed preparation, understanding, communication, and planning."
"The system is not easily flexible. Therefore, it is essential to understand how, from the outset, the Chinese EPCs will be approaching the project and to be able to understand what is achievable within the established ecosystem and what is not," he adds.
Parker reckons that project managers that decide to partner with a Chinese EPC company must invest a lot of time overseeing and participating in the early stages of the project. This helps discover and reconcile the different approaches that the Chinese EPC company might take during the project duration.
"Given the aggressive pricing at the outset, loss prevention can rapidly become a major overarching objective," he says. "Such a change in emphasis can be very rapid and have adverse consequences for the project."
The thin margins of Chinese EPC contracts also leave little room for after sales support, potentially becoming a major issue if not understood at the outset.

Parlez-vous Francais? Oui Oui Mademoiselle, Et Merci Beaucoup. I had to get the correct spelling from my French speaking friend, Kirsten. When she speaks, it sounds so beautiful. I don't understand a word of it. I can't speak a lick of French. However, lately I'm obsessing over French country homes. While Italy is my passion and all things Italian, minus a few things which I will keep to myself..I found myself going stir crazy in the rain we've been having. For this reason, I've been watching marathons of House Hunters International. This past weekend there were two or three episodes of Europeans looking for a house in the South of France. I remember traveling to Paris and just falling in love with the textiles, dishes, etc. I can only imagine what the south of France looks like. Here are some images that have me swooning.
I could buy this vineyard for sale for 399,000 Euros. I can imagine sitting roadside sipping my coffee and chatting with folks passing by…or opening my windows overlooking the vineyards…or sipping wine on the back terrace. Ok time to wake up.
Imagine pulling up to your house with these beautiful flowers and how could you not love those blue shutters.
This is an actual cottage from My French Country Home. Simply darling. Imagine waking up to that everyday.
A house for rent. Can you imagine this as your home. I need to hit lotto.
While I'm out of my shabby chic phase, I do have to admire this quiet elegance with comfortable soft linen fabrics and beautiful cottons. I do like this for a rustic farm house. I would replace the white cabinets and armoires with something in a pale blue to add a hint of contrast.I can envision myself gardening and working in my vineyard and then curling up on the the white sofa reading a book sipping tea in the morning and champagne by night.
The photos above and below are where I would entertain my new friends. Lots of cured meats, champagne, red wine, a crunchy banquette with local cheeses. I can imagine interesting conversation and learning French with the locals.
Photo Credits: All Interior Photos by Gilles Trillard
This is how I would set the table for the holidays with all vintage glass pieces and dishes that I picked up at the local flea markets. Informal with a hint of elegance.
I love all the monogramming on these vintage linens. I would do all white bedding with monogrammed euro shams.
Photo Credits Linens: Campagne-decoration
I can picture myself riding into town on my cute bicycle. Picture a fresh baguette and cured meats and cheeses in the basket on the way home here. All the things I need for my dinner party above. I'd pick some field flowers or fresh lavender roadside along the way for the table.
Indulge me. Officially, it's a fantasy. We didn't win lotto tonight, which means I have to go to work tomorrow. Ok, back to reality.

Brit Award-winning trio Blake will showcase material from their new album when they perform in Buxton's Pavilion Arts Centre this month.
The group are known for their extraordinary renditions of both classical and popular music pieces, having refined harmonies from groups such as the Three Tenors, the Bee Gees and the Lettermen.
Blake sang with each other at school but only started a band after being reunited through Facebook. The trio quickly attracted national attention, going straight to No.1 in the classical album charts with their first release Blake.
Dame Shirley Bassey was so smitten with the group when she saw them perform on ITV's This Morning eight years ago that she requested that they perform at her birthday party that same night. Since then the Dame has watched Blake at many of their live concerts.
Hot on the heels of groups like Il Divo and Collabro, Blake's new album In Harmony offers a mix of songs.
Audiences at their concert in Buxton on September 15 can expect to hear hits including Fields of Gold, Bring Him Home, Nessun Dorma and Chasing Cars.
The show starts at 7.30pm. Tickets £22.50, discounts available. Contact 01298 72190 or www.buxtonoperahouse.org.uk

BrightStar: Co-founder inducted into the Wisconsin Investor Hall of Fame
MILWAUKEE, Nov. 21, 2017 Tom Shannon, CEO and co-founder of the BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation, a unique philanthropic capital investment group, was inducted into the Wisconsin Technology Councils Investor Hall of Fame at the Wisconsin Early Stage Symposium in Madison on Nov. 15. Mr. Shannon was selected by a panel of 10 judges that included the five past Investor Hall of Fame inductees.
The HATCH Finale was attended by a crowd of almost 300 people who gathered in Stevens Point on Nov. 9. HATCH is a community-based startup pitch platform that aims to convert strong ideas into business plans that can help launch new companies.
The program was a collaboration between the BrightStar Wisconsin Foundation, which supplied funding and leadership, and NEWaukee, which contributed its experience and expertise in executing programs like this. It was this partnership that made the four preliminary HATCH events and the recent finale event huge successes. Other strategic partners included the Wisconsin Economic Development Corp., Incourage Foundation, the Portage County Business Council, the Marathon County Economic Development Corp., Current Wisconsin Rapids, Ignite, Marshfield Young Professionals, Create Portage County, and Compass Properties, which hosted the event in its private hangar at the Stevens Point airport.
There sometimes can be questions about what is needed to expand the number of startup companies in Wisconsin, said NEWaukees chief idea officer, Jeremy Fojut. HATCH was able to spark positive change in central Wisconsins startup community through collaboration, cooperation, and building thoughtful in-person experiences that connected entrepreneurs to each other, resources they need, and the community.
In a surprise ending, the judges were sold on two pitches: Caboosee and Arbré Tech. The winning companies split the $10,000 grand prize.
Pitches included:
Feed Manager | Carl Lippert - an app that helps farmers manage their livestock feed.
Arbré Tech | Matthie Vollmer and Ben Meyers - a product built to automate the data-tracking processes used in tree nurseries.
Unpublished.io | Daniel Packard & Maurice Woods III - a web platform for building and sharing research projects.
Cheiks | Elizabeth Olson - womens underwear with revolutionary sizing.
