It is Australian Vine's Psychic Reading 10 Year online anniversary. There's lots of changes coming, so get ready for an incredible spiritual evolution!
It was 10 years ago that Vine was spiritually guided by her higher guardians to start her own online psychic business after working for the first Aussie Psychic Phone Company. Vine worked for over five Australian and international businesses before creating Vine Psychic Line.
Vine's Spiritual Background
At 20 years of age Vine started to do psychic readings in her birth city Melbourne and then traveled to Sydney, Brisbane and Cairns doing face-to-face readings. Vine's business reputation grew by demonstrating incredible psychic skills. At no time did she use any psychic tools like tarot, angel card spreads.
Everything she guided to customers was purely heightened spiritual senses and customers were amazed by her accuracy and started recommending her to family and friends and becoming repeat clients.
Vine Spiritually Trained By Her Higher Guardians to Release Prophecy
Little did she know at the time when she began receiving channeling as a psychic kid, she would then be guided to release spiritual prophecy to help us understand the Earth changes that were to come.
Now Vine's Spiritual Prophecy is followed by thousands of people across the globe. She has over a thousand readers who visit her website daily. At the start of the 2017 year, Vine's had over half a million visitors follow her psychic predictions.
In particular, followers identify how incredibly accurate she's been about Trump and his Russian connection to become the most illegitimate United States President and the Commander and Chief of the Free World.
Vine was spiritually warning the world since 2011 and she also guided some of the underhanded methods Trump's contacts used to push him over the line.
Vine is a Spiritual Psychic Reading Expert
Australian clairvoyant medium Vine receives hundreds of emails from people wanting to engage in conversations about spirituality and metaphysics because they know she's the real thing. Recently a priest from the United States of America sought out Vine's counsel because he described her knowledge of the spiritual arts was incredible.
Vine is able to put the missing pieces of the puzzle together and theologians and light workers trust her guidance. She doesn't try to win her customers over through sugar coated positive readings, she's clear and concise and cares about your spiritual well being.
Have You Noticed The True Local Malicious Competitor Psychic Reviews Online?
Skeptics have not attacked Vine's psychic ability because she's been completely transparent with psychic predictions, and they come true.
The only issues Vine has had to deal with since she was spiritually guided to start her own online psychic business are competitor saboteurs. These psychic competitor saboteurs will attempt to persuade buyers Vine's voice sounds too young for her age to be in her 35th year of doing readings.
Recently her competitors went online to over five business directories to defame her spiritual acumen and integrity in the psychic arts. Hopefully you are wise enough not to fall for the trap of Vine's business saboteurs and have booked a psychic reading to hear how incredible her psychic ability really is.
Vine's Spiritual Business Evolving - What to Look Out For
Fast forward to the present day and the Earth Changes are upon us. The world is changing dramatically before our eyes. This is why she is being spiritually guided that her online business needs to evolve to the next level.
Get ready for Vine's Spiritual Inspired business to set the benchmark again in a new branch of her business. Clearly Vine is a psychic business entrepreneur who does it her own way.
We look forward to your continued loyalty and helping you get the real spiritual help you deserve.

Wow – a whole week of 2010 gone already. It's been a busy week – in addition to the normal things around the house, at least daily visits with my Dad tending to his needs, getting back into the church building project (filling in while the project manager is out of commission dealing with medical problems, visit to the ortho clinic Monday (last time for the elbow until he does surgery in a few months to remove the plate & screws he put in in July) , Wednesday visit to dentist to do the prep work and get a temporary crown, preparing (Tuesday) and then restoring curtains etc for new windows which were installed Wednesday, organizing family supper next Friday to celebrate my Dad's 93rd and a couple of visits with some folks who were needing someone to listen to them as they wrestled with some tough things in their lives and capped off last evening with a nachos and movie night with some friends from our church family – AVATAR – even in 2D -- it's a cliffhanger (literally at times)
I am thankful to be blessed with the health and energy that let's me enjoy this pace and for the ability to make jokes about the similarities between lists and rabbits. (you'll have to get to my FACEBOOK page for full details on that one)
Last week I included an excerpt from "The Secret Life of the Grown-Up Brain" by Barbara Strauch and then I asked
"How can I 'crack the cognitive egg and scramble it up' so as to create positive changes in my relationship behaviors" (or is this even possible)?
As I have been journaling this week, I started thinking about this idea and it generated these random thoughts
1. It's easy to crack an egg – but not as easy to do it right. Have you seen a child the first time trying to crack the egg and get the contents into the bowel without also included the shell or observed with wonder an expert doing 2 eggs one handed with ease and flair (You can watch the Youtube training video to develop this skill for one egg))
2. There are different reasons for cracking an egg – one is to get at the contents to cook them – another is to allow the hatchling inside to emerge. (See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XCdbRR8FbX0)
While the metaphor of the cognitive egg seems to refer to the breaking to let the contents out and change into a new shape, perhaps there is some merit in pursuing the hatchling idea .
3. Sometimes the contents of the egg are scrambled, sometimes they are fried and sometimes they are hardboiled. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kv8vsuNWhWQ
I wonder I really want to do any of these things with my brain (thought processes) and I also think that any of these might at times be an aptdescription of my current situation.
4. There's the Humpty Dumpty syndrome to consider. We can crack the egg and scramble up the contents – but how will we put it back together again?
5. Isn't there something a little unsettling about this metaphor – If the egg is my skull – do I really want to crack it open and start scrambling the grey stuff inside?I think not.
6. It doesn't matter how much thinking we do about cracking the egg if we never get on with the work of changing. And this blog is evidence of that fact – it is a way of posting something despite not having done much "real work" on this question this week.
However, if I'm going to pursue this I know it will take discipline and consistent effort. And part of that is a commitment to a weekly blogging exercise to share things that may be of help to others – so for this week we'll be a little silly and just think about cracking eggs. Any thoughts about that that I've missed?
Maybe by next Saturday I'll have something more on this – or maybe not--
I'm thinking the this may be a tough egg to crack(pun intended)
God Bless

Farmers' markets in Georgia include Fall Line Farmers Market in Baldwin County, Athens Farmers Market in Clarke County, Ridge Perry Farmers Market in Floyd County, Hartwell Farmers Market in Hart County and Thomasville State Farmers Market in Thomas County. On its website, the Georgia Department of Agriculture maintains a list of farmers' markets in the state. This list organizes markets by county and provides the location, contact information, schedule and website, if any, for each farmers' market that it lists.
Fulton County, home to Atlanta, plays host to around 20 farmers' markets, the most of any county. These include Alpharetta Farmers Market, East Atlanta Village Farmers Market, East Wheat Street Garden Market, Green Market at Piedmont Park and Sandy Springs Farmers Market.
The Georgia Department of Agriculture considers farmers' markets to be locations where farmers can sell their produce directly to their neighbors and community. They may be operated by non-profits or even local governments. According to its website, the Georgia Department of Agriculture believes farmers' markets help build meaningful relationships between community producers and consumers. Through the Wholesome Wave Georgia program, benefit recipients of the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program can have their benefits doubled, up to $50, when they shop at certain farmers' markets.

This is just a throw-away discussion. Nothing in depth or meaningful - unless you choose to share the meaning behind your Ink. Oh, and by Ink, I mean tattoo! I was just curious. I just got my first one two weeks ago, and already had plans on the second. No, as a theist, I did not go with a stereotypical cross design, nor will I with the second one either. Mine have more meaning to me than that. My first one is of my Wing Chun School's crest. It's on my right shoulder and contains hidden meanings within it regarding the knowledge of the art. I got it because I am a life time member and now instructor of this lineage of Wing Chun, and it contains significant meaning in the fact that I have been wanting to do something in my life like this since I was fifteen years old.
As for my next tattoo, I was thinking of inking the Japanese Ronin symbol in scarlet red on my left chest along with a phoenix that extends onto my left arm. The Ronin symbol is my take on the Scarlet Letter and my now defunct relationship with the church I worked in. The phoenix is me rising from the ashes of that Hell the SBC calls a Christian society. My little way of saying to them "Fuck YOU!" Sorry for the language.

I have phantom ink. That is, I have many planned, but haven't done it yet. I'm kind of particular when it comes to my body, and don't want _just anyone_ etching their art into my skin. So I'm waiting until I find an artist I'm 100% comfortable with.
My hubs has a full back piece. Unfortunately, his artist died years ago.
Too bad you don't live near Frederick, MD. I would know the perfect artist. His name is Alfie. He is the owner of Marks of the Spark in Frederick, MD and is a multi-award winning tattoo artist. He's also been featured in Ink Magazine. He did my first one and will do the next one too.
Got my first from a few months back. It is of the electron spinning around the atom at the quantum level and of the Earth in orbit. It also was done just as Voyager is about to leave the Milky Way. It looked back and saw our "Pale Blue Dot". The red "A" is for Atheism.
Cool! I know what the red A is for, and I think adopting the red letter A for atheism is quite a clever adaptation of Nathaniel Hawthorne's Scarlet Letter (one of the perks of getting a BA in English Literature is recognizing the symbolism in almost everything). As I mentioned above, I am going with the same theme with putting Ronin on my chest. It is the scar I bear for standing up for what I believe in, in the face of a daunting authority who claims falsely the idea of spiritual righteousness. If I am to be marked by such an institution, then I will wear my mark proudly - transforming the mark from one of shame to pride (similar to how atheists have adopted the A and transformed its interpretation - at least that's how I observe it). I'll post my tattoo in a bit. I should have posted it earlier, but couldn't find my USB adapter since the picture is on my phone. I found it now and am going through setup
I was supposed to read the scarlet letter in sixth or seventh grade. It was soooooo boring for little pre-teen me that I still have a complex about reading 'classics.'
Don't feel bad. It was boring. I had to read it twice. Once in high school and then again in my Amercan Literature class in college. It didn't get any better the second time around, but at least I understood it well enough that I never read the whole thing and still received an A+ on the paper the class had to write on it. The only thing I liked about it was how the mark of shame became a symbol of defiance against Puritanical society.
Hey that's awesome! What a great design! ;)
I'm not going to put a picture of my finished tattoo up here as it is on me, but here's what it looks like from my sketch pad.
It goes from the top of the left shoulder near the neck (but still covered by the collar) sweeping down and across the chest from left to right. The tattooist added a bit more to the lower wing tip, but over all this is what it looks like.
Everyday I still look at it in the mirror and think that it's awesome. That also has a lot to do with seeing the sweeping motions of my own handwriting in every line.
Very nice!
My son 19 got one a few months ago, The family does nt approve. I love it and understand why he had it done, it is very personal to him. His late fathers name in Japanese between his shoulderblades running down his spine.
Jorita, does the family not approve our of religious concerns, or is it more culture - then again, it could be a mixture of considering religion and culture are often blended together in older societies? And, great to hear that you support him - as a good mother should!

Reading level: Young Adult
Paperback: 228 pages
Publisher: Graphia (April 4, 2011)
Language: English
Source: Publisher
Rating: YYY 1/2
Missy didn't mean to cut so deep. But after the party where she was humiliated in front of practically everyone in school, who could blame her for wanting some comfort? Sure, most people don't find comfort in the touch of a razor blade, but Missy always was . . . different.
That's why she was chosen to become one of the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse: War. Now Missy wields a new kind of blade—a big, brutal sword that can cut down anyone and anything in her path. But it's with this weapon in her hand that Missy learns something that could help her triumph over her own pain: control.
A unique approach to the topic of self-mutilation, Rage is the story of a young woman who discovers her own power and refuses to be defeated by the world.
My Thoughts
Having been a long time fan of Jackie Kessler and familiar with her Four Horsemen series I knew that I would encounter a gripping and intriguing read with newest YA novel, RAGE.
Having read HUNGER I was more than curious to encounter how RAGE would play out and was surprised to have enjoyed it more than I would have believed. It is not to say that I did not enjoy this series and where it was going but I did feel that with the first novel that there was much pre-character development prior to her role as Famine. Now with RAGE I feel as if I have a better grasp and understanding of the newest member of the four Horsemen, Missy aka WAR. Missy is a cutter dealing with life's unbearable situations with the edge of a blade. One night things go to far and she is given a life altering choice, one that she does not relish until she is in the throes of WAR and then she is a force of nature to be feared.
What I valued in this story was the understanding and sympathy that I felt for Missy. I witnessed her pain and anguish, understood her need for the release from all the misery to self iniflicted injury and while I did not agree with her actions I was aware. Self mutilation is a very sensitive subject and Jackie Morse Kessler did a great job of relaying the emotions and actions of Missy's everyday life. While in the grasp of War Missy learns to control her anger and hatred and as the stories progresses you witness her grow and own up to her problems. It was refreshing to see although I have to admit there were moments that I would have liked to gone all Rambo on some of her classmates.
As with her first novel in this series I adored Death, sounds creepy I know but every time he appears on the page I get happy and as you will see I am not the only one. He has an aire about him that makes him all the more alluring despite his day-night job. Another character that jumped from the pages was Famine and I really enjoyed the hostile yet guiding banter that flowed between Famine and War.
Despite my praises Rage is not an easy book to digest. It deals with a very serious issue and some of the passages in this novel with leave you seething in anger and sad from inflicted pain, but in the end you will come to peace with how things work out. I know I did.


text: Last week, amendments to the Toronto Stock Exchange Company Manual came into force which provide non-corporate issuers with guidance with respect to original listing requirements and changes in capital structure. Non-corporate issuers, which include "Closed-end Funds", "Exchange Traded Products" and "Structured Products", will now have the benefit of a new Part XI – Requirements Applicable to Non-Corporate Issuers when dealing with the TSX. Though not identical, the amendments are largely similar to a proposal published for comment in January 2015.

you better watch your back, MALLORY!
i just saw the funniest thing. you all must must get into it.
it's called supermarket of the stars. and it stars illeana douglas, justine bateman and jane lynch. it's a little five minute ditty on youtube that is so fantastic. it's really refreshing to see justine bateman getting all excited over being promoted to "carts." carts! seriously!
the best line of the first episode simply has to be "you think because you had your own tv show and your face was on a lunchbox and guys wanna have sex with you that you're special?" second best though was "daryll hannah works here?" but you need to watch it to get the context for that one.
seriously? come on. just watch it. mallory would watch it. mallory is in it. and her face was on a lunch box.

Vehicle Style: Small sedan
Price: $29,255
Fuel Economy (claimed): 8.6 l/100km
Fuel Economy (tested): 8.6 l/100km
The Mazda3 is a perennial favorite with Australian car buyers. The SP25 variants in sedan and hatch offer a little more dash and a touch more flash with some worthwhile additional equipment.
In a crowded small car segment, the well-executed Mazda3 still has what it takes to stand out.
- Quality: There is a nice sporting air to the interior and a solid robust build means it feels like it should last. No rattles on test, but some of the hard plastic surfacing is slightly scratch-prone.
- Comfort: Once seated there's plenty of room inside, with enough room for three across the rear for short trips. Seats are firm, but supportive.
The only downside is that rear passengers have to duck under the sweeping C-pillar getting in.
- Equipment: The well-configured SP25 comes with sat-nav, Bluetooth connectivity and audio streaming, dual-zone climate control, leather gear-knob and steering wheel with audio and trip computer controls, six-disc, six-speaker audio with aux in and MP3 compatibility.
- Storage: Inside the cabin, the Mazda 3 offers covered cup holders, a deep centre console and large door pockets. The glovebox extends deep into the dash and the boot offers 430 litres of volume, extendable via 60:40 folding seats.
- Driveability: Thanks to the added poke of the larger 2.5 litre engine, the SP25 is more flexible and gets around with a little more zest than a lesser Mazda 3, but it doesn't feel vastly quicker.
- Refinement: Although there is some road noise apparent on most sealed surfaces, the engine throng is more subdued than 2.0 litre Mazda3s. A smooth-shifting six-speed manual makes commuting a breeze.
- Suspension: Front MacPherson struts and a multi-link rear are firmly damped, which can be stiff in town, but provide great handling on the open road.
- Braking: 300mm ventilated front discs and 280mm solid rears are shared with the Mazda3 diesel, and offer strong stopping performance to go with the SP25's additional power.
- ANCAP rating: 5-Star (Maxx five-door hatch tested)
- Safety features: Front, side and curtain airbags, DSC, ABS, electronic brakeforce distribution, brake assist, three-point seatbelts and height-adjustable head restraints on all seats with load limiters and pretensioners on the front belts.
- Warranty: Mazda offers a three-year, unlimited kilometre warranty.
- Service costs: TBC
- Volkswagen Golf 118TSI comfortline ($29,490) – While it may not look as brash externally, the Golf interior is beautifully crafted and the ride quieter. (see Golf reviews)
- Honda Civic Sport ($29,990) – Down on power and torque but still a rewarding drive. Inside, the split level dash
may be the love-it-or-loathe-it decider for many; Civic is also approaching the end of its model-life. (see Civic reviews)
- Mitsubisi Lancer VRX ($29,990) – Packing a good equipment list, bold styling and a performance-matched engine, the Lancer is perhaps the most credible competitor to the Mazda3.

 (see Lancer reviews)
Note: all prices are Manufacturer's List Price and do not include dealer delivery or on-road costs.
The Mazda3 SP25 lands among plenty of capable competitors, but also manages to stand out from the crowd with eager handling and distinctive styling.
If you are looking to add a bit of 'fun-factor' to your driving, Mazda's breezy and capable SP25 is well worth a look.

In general, you should take a good look at a map to get a rough idea of the tour. In addition to the tour descriptions and our site features, this will help users when selecting tours. If you want to plan a tour in advance, you can also do that with an electronic map. To do this, you need digital map materials and software for transferring data to your GPS device.
Using these maps you will be able to put together a tour. The software also provides you with a writing tool that you can use to draw the tour on the map, point for point. This tour (points list) can then be saved on the computer and loaded into a GPS device. Once the data has been saved in the GPS device, you can then follow the tour.
The digital maps from Kompass Verlag can communicate with GPS devices and do not require any further software.
Austria Map and Top50 Karten (maps) save tours in OVL format. In order to load the data onto your GPS device you have to download the freeware Garfile. This software can read the OVL data and transfer it to the GPS device. For more information about using this software go to the GPS Cookbook.
The desired tour is then easy to follow with the GPS device. But it is still important to actually do the tour since natural contours most often differ from the maps. In addition, map materials do not (yet) provide elevation data.

Wireless Technology: How does it work?
One of the joys of getting new technology is the diminishing need for cords and wires. Wireless technologies are all based on the same idea, with a few small differences. Information is relayed wirelessly using from one point to another using various types of signals. Some communicate over large distances, while others over small distances.
Here are some of the key wireless technologies you probably already use in your everyday life.
Bluetooth is a very popular wireless technology because it can transmit lots of information very quickly. The only draw back of Bluetooth is that is can only communicate over a maximum distance of about 10 meters. You will find Bluetooth in many devices; but mainly in computers and mobile phones, because they allow us to pair other devices to them, such as microphones, keyboards or mice. They're reliable and really fast.
WiFi stands for wireless fidelity and is used mainly for home wireless networking because of its fast transmission speeds. It works in a similar way to Bluetooth, but works over a much larger radius. As a result, Wi Fi devices require a lot more power than Bluetooth. Wi Fi can also have a number of security protocols placed over it, making it more secure method for transmitting important information or when there is lots of it.
3G and 4G
You've probably heard these terms on TV or in your phone shop, and they work similar to the way your TV picks up a TV signal. It's likely that if you have a mobile phone , it operates on a 3G network. The 'G' stands for generation, as the technology improves and becomes faster, we need to give it a different name. Wireless mobile phone technology tends to be a bit slower, because it covers a larger area and a greater number of devices.
Infrared technology has been in use for a long time! If you have a TV remote, or any type of remote for heating and cooling in your home, it's likely that it transmits information though infrared. Infrared only need a very small amount of power to run, but can only transmit very basic commands to another point or device. It's also restricted to fairly short distances.
So there you have it, a basic run-down of wireless technology. We have you've found it informative.

I've been loving reading all the responses to Gillian's Top 5 reflections series but I haven't really made enough to participate properly as I've only made 7 items in total this year. However I've actually got a lot of wear out of most of them so far and I feel I've learnt a lot so I'm happy with the progress I've made. The most recent dress (still unblogged) has only had one outing so far - the wedding I made it for - but I'm sure I'll wear it a lot in the future. The 'toile' I made has become a favourite - worn with a belt and a bright cardigan it's perfect for work.
One bit of the Top 5 Reflections I can complete is the Top 5 Lessons Learned:
- I have a lot, a lot, to learn about sewing!
- I'm a slow sewer and often can't find the energy to sew after work - I'm going to try and use the 15 minute idea discussed by Tilly for those evenings when I'm home but feeling too tired to sew as it makes it much less daunting.
- Making toile's from fabric I'm not going to wear is pretty demotivating. I just discovered this as it's taken over a month to make up a toile from my skirt block using the same fabric as my dress toile. Somehow a grey skirt as well as a grey dress wasn't too appealing. Time to be brave and just cut into nicer fabric first time round.
- Sewing friends are amazing! I'm very lucky to have a 'real life' sewing friend and couldn't have learned so much this year without her help. Like so many other sewers who blog I've been amazed by the support and help I've received from the online sewing community. I hope one day to be able to reciprocate!
- I love wearing things that I've sewn!
I couldn't share this before as I didn't want to spoil the surprise for the receiver, well the mum of the receiver as this was a present for our new two-week old nephew Adam (I don't think he reads my blog - yet!). It was so much fun to make and I enjoyed relearning the embroidery chain stitch as I hadn't done it for years. The fleece fabric was a gift from a friend and the other fabric is a lovely soft linen/cotton blend I got from M is for Make (they still have it and it's in the sale now)

Now a large study has confirmed that key lifestyle elements such as exercise, diet, not smoking, and moderate drinking have a big impact on risk of heart failure.
Male physicians who adhered to at least four of six healthy lifestyle factors -- normal weight, abstinence from smoking, regular exercise, moderate alcohol intake, and consumption of breakfast cereals and fruits and vegetables -- had a lower risk of heart failure, the study found.
Luc Djousse, MD, MPH, of Brigham and Women's Hospital, and colleagues reported the findings in the July 22 Journal of the American Medical Association.
Howard S. Weintraub, MD, of New York University, said the findings reinforce the concept that a healthy lifestyle will help reduce the long-term risks of cardiovascular disease.
"This is not startling news," Dr. Weintraub said. "But the size of the study certainly gives it formidable predictive power."
For this prospective cohort study, the researchers looked at data from 20,900 men in the Physicians' Health Study I between 1982 and 2008 who were healthy at baseline. They assessed the six major modifiable lifestyle factors.
Over a median follow-up period of 22.4 years, 1,200 men developed heart failure.
The researchers found that the overall lifetime risk of heart failure was 13.8% at age 40. That remained constant for healthy men through age 70, dropping to 10.6% at age 80, likely the result of a "shorter remaining time at risk or the depletion of susceptible individuals."
However, lifetime risk of heart failure was about 2% to 4% higher in men with hypertension.
Also, normal body weight, not smoking, regular exercise, moderate alcohol intake, and consumption of breakfast cereals and fruits and vegetables were individually and jointly associated with a lower lifetime risk of heart failure.
The highest risk was in men who didn't adhere to any of the six lifestyle factors (21.2%, 95% CI 16.8% to 25.6%).
The lowest risk was in those who stuck to four or more desirable factors (10.1%, 95% CI 7.9% to 12.3%).
The researchers said this suggests that "maintenance of healthy habits known to lower the risk of cardiovascular disease remains critical to lowering the risk of heart failure."
Since the study population included only physicians, the findings may be limited in generalizability.
There was a lower lifetime risk of heart failure than in the general population, possibly because physicians practice a higher number of healthy behaviors and have greater medical knowledge.
Still, the researchers said, the findings emphasize the need for incorporating these behaviors into prevention strategies against heart failure.
|The Physicians Health Study was supported by grants from the National Cancer Institute and the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute.
Dr. Djousse reported being a recipient of investigator-initiated grants from the National Institutes of Health and has received grants from the Huntington's Disease Society of America, the NIH, and the Biomedical Research Institute at Brigham and Women's Hospital.
Dr. Driver reported receiving grants from the Parkinson's Disease Foundation, the Hartford Foundation, and the Harvard Medical School Scholars in Medicine Program.

There should be surveys on Diabetic Connect
8 replies
If you want a survey just post it as a discussion. Then you can tabulate the responses yourself.
We DO have surveys on DC. They're called questions we put up. I think that these are SO much better than the traditional survey where the information is all going one way: to the maker of the survey. The way it is here we can question the person who asked the question to get the background of the question. That helps to accurately answer the original question. Some traditional surveys make me wonder the way it is worded if there isn't a hidden agenda behind the question trying to get one to answer a certain way. I rarely answer traditional surveys.
We need surveys for what purpose? How many people on this site have diabetes? How many people would be helped by a survey?

A handmade community in Qatar
And I also have some nice news to tell you, so please don't leave yet :)
I don't know if you remember that together with my friend Gabi we founded a group for people who make handmade products in Qatar called QatART.
After we joined forces with art and craft school Inspiration Station and formed a dedicated board team in October 2013 we became more active.
Our last accomplishment is that we managed to agree on collaboration between our group and Katara Art Studios and we will start organizing our own handmade markets in Katara starting from this Friday, 28th March.
One more exciting news is that the story about our group was published yesterday, Sunday 23rd March in a local newspaper Qatar Tribune and we are all so proud and happy.
Sending you my smile with love,

Early in the morning on Jan. 12, a good Samaritan saved the life of DPS Trooper Edward Andersson on Interstate 10 in Arizona by shooting and killing Andersson's attacker, Leonard Penuelas-Escobar, who ambushed Andersson while the officer was investigating a rollover crash.
Seeing the officer in desperate straits, the rescuer pulled over and did what he had to do to save Andersson's life.
Initially the Samaritan preferred to remain anonymous.

Now we know him to be Thomas Yoxall, 43, a ex-felon. According to the Phoenix New Times, Yoxall had a 2000 felony theft conviction.
The Arizona Republic reported that the felony was reduced to a misdemeanor in 2003 when Yoxall petitioned a judge, stressing his desire to see his gun rights restored to him.
TRENDING: Judge Scorches Election Officials After Discovering They Illegally Allowed Migrant To Vote
"Before this incident, I was an avid shooter," Yoxall reportedly wrote. "I miss owning a gun. I miss shooting with my friends as well as (with) my son. I hope, if nothing else, you will reinstate my civil rights to include the right to bear arms once again."
Apparently that was the right call.

Yoxall didn't want to take a life that day, but he did what he had to do.
"That morning, I never would have dreamed that I was going to save somebody's life, let alone take the life of another individual," Yoxall said. "I don't recall any thought or feeling of fear. It happened very quickly. There wasn't necessarily time for me to react, or think logically. I don't consider myself a hero that day."
But he was a hero. He saved a life.
Taking away someone's right to bear arms is a very, very serious thing. Perhaps it's time to reevaluate whether or not non-violent offenders should lose their constitutionally backed gun rights.

This is one of those times. You know, the rare moments. The ones that make you smile.
Since January we have had the immense pleasure and privilege of publishing Music Matters, the Town Commons column written by our good friend and Phil conductor Steven Karidoyanes. Steven offers his special, learned insight every month into the magical world of classical music. Anyone who attends Plymouth Philharmonic concerts knows what I mean. More on that later.
And also, since January, when Ryan Wood came back to work with us as our Wareham and Carver editor, we've been running his monthly column on contemporary rock and roll. Ryan started his column, Sound Off, during his first stint with us a few years ago. He talks about today's rock scene like no one I know.
Steven's column runs the second week of the month and Ryan's the third. Starting this week we add another monthly music column to our lineup – and it is a magnificent addition. It's what's got me giddy. It's what's making me smile.
We are delighted to present to you our new music column, called The jazz beat. It appears in our Town Commons section the fourth week of each month, and it is written by Plymouth's own jazz artist Johnny Souza.
Johnny has helped put modern-day Plymouth on the artistic map. Since he played trumpet at Plymouth-Carver High to the present day at the hippest metro-Boston clubs, Johnny Souza's name has been synonymous with high-end contemporary jazz. His vocals sooth, his trumpet thrills, and his band smokes. And when you catch him backing his jazz singing daughter, Leah, which he's been doing this year at local clubs, you catch one very cool set after another. They've been performing regularly in Plymouth at Bert's Cove, and they're playing this weekend, Friday and Saturday night, at the Radisson Pub.
Johnny, who's a product of Berklee School of Music, doesn't just play very hip jazz; he teaches, too. Enjoy his column this week, and this time every month. Learn from Plymouth's own jazz master – the hippest cat in town.~~~~~~~~~~~~
Well, one of the hippest cats, Music Matters author Steven Karidoyanes, also clearly qualifies in that category. Just look at the amazing performance he led his Pops orchestra through Saturday. Talk about cool!
The Phil turned Memorial Hall into a finger-snapping nightclub with its Salute to Ol' Blue Eyes, one fantastic musical tribute to Frank Sinatra. Steven led his orchestra (I really want to call it his band!) through two great sets of jazz and pop, featuring the smooth vocals of Boston singer Steve Marvin. The crooner knocked us out with his renditions of "Fly Me to the Moon," "The Best is yet to Come" and "The Summer Wind" among his repertoire.
Steven also tickled our senses with orchestral medleys: songs Frank made famous ("I've Got You under My Skin," Strangers in the Night," "That's Life"), a salute to big bands ("April in Paris," "I'm Getting Sentimental Over You," Pennsylvania 6-5000"), Gershwin ("I Got Rhythm," "Someone to Watch Over Me," "Rhapsody in Blue") and Ellington ("Don't Get around Much," "Sophisticated Lady," "It Don't Mean a Thing").
The show was a smash, so when you hear that Salute to Ol' Blue Eyes II is coming (it's in the works!), get your tickets fast.
A huge highlight for me Saturday night was meeting Ron Della Chiesa, the evening's master of ceremonies. Ron has hosted fabulous Big Band and classical programs on WGBH for years and also has been host of WPLM Easy 99.1's Strictly Sinatra program for the past 11 years – five hours of Sinatra tunes broadcast from Plymouth every Saturday night. I was a MusicAmerica addict and spent much of my adult life listening to this golden-throated gentleman talk about the music that made this country great. So, it was a huge pleasure to meet the truly awesome man.
I know him as a music host, but he's also a tremendous opera fan and expert. My friend Jennifer is likewise an opera nut, and the two of them took off in a conversation that left me twiddling my thumbs. I could have worked the crowd for an hour and come back to them oblivious to my absence.
I was so awed and wowed by meeting Della Chiesa that one might think that the highlight of the night. For all the fabulous music, and for all of Ron's charm, I will tell you that the pinnacle of the evening was hearing an announcement by Phil board president Paula Harris at the start of the program. She told us some great news: Steven has signed a contract extension that ensures he will continue to lead the Phil for at least three more years.
Stay tuned for a fun summer of Phil concerts in Plymouth and Wareham, beginning June 28 – and don't forget to sign up for the orchestra's annual golf tournament! It's an important fundraiser that helps bring us great music all year round. The tournament takes place in June, and sign-up time's running out. Just log onto the Phil's Web site (www.plymouthphil.org) for all the information.
Scott C. Smith is managing editor of the CNC/Plymouth office. He's off on vacation this week. E-mail firstname.lastname@example.com.

text: I'm burning the midnight oil at both ends & will soon be crashing (I hope). You'd think with all the seizure medications, plus the nightly methadone and a lunesta I'd be off to lala land. Not the case - too much pain. I believe I'll take my prednisone at 4 or so this morning & hope my sleep pattern straightens out - can't live this way much longer. It's really getting to me. I've spent the night working on a Christmas gift list. I have my siblings & their spouses taken care of. Because of all the nieces & nephews & now great nieces & nephews we exchange names. My father is difficult to buy for. I believe I'll bake him a year's worth of English muffin bread to put in his freezer - he loves the stuff. It was a somewhat busy day here today - kt finished the majority of her laundry but is on strike for putting it away. PCA is always good at getting her to get that little chore taken care of - I'm not. I spent some time out in the yard - getting things ready for winter. Hoses are put away; most of the leaves are raked (thank you ktbgt) & husband has put up or covered the majority of our lawn furniture. The biggest concern would be our cedar picnic table. Nothing on the agenda today - I have a grocery delivery this morning; a tad of laundry for husband & myself to finish. There is a sale at the local farmer's market for spaghetti & acorn squash that I cannot pass up (the farmer's market won't be going too much longer - I believe mid November it closes). I'm going to stock up for the winter - we love this stuff here. Well, I'm going to grab a cuppa of HMJ & fold some clothes. I have a taste for homemade granola - maybe I'll put some in the oven. Have a peaceful day - hug your loved ones.

Pele will watch as one of his successors as the face of Brazilian soccer leads the Olympic hosts in their quest for a first gold medal.
Brazil legend Pele will be watching closely as his native country and Olympic host plays for its first gold medal in men's soccer, with Neymar leading the charge.
Pele, whose biopic "Pele: Birth of a Legend" was released on Friday, speaks with Andy Adler about Brazil's quest for Olympic gold and the star player's summer plans to play in the Olympics and not Copa America Centenario. Barcelona stated it would not release Neymar for both competitions despite the player wishing to appear in both, and ultimately the club and country agreed that Neymar would only play at Rio 2016.
"This is a big argument," Pele said. "I don't know exactly what to say. ... He belongs to Barcelona."
Pele also touches on his iconic career and legacy, maintaining his stance that he's the greatest to ever play."
"People say, 'When is there going to be a new Pele, a new king?' I say never. Like Pele? Never."

MADISON, NJ – St. Hubert's Animal Welfare Center of Madison on Saturday took in 48 dogs and 75 cats from Tampa to make room for Florida animals displaced by Hurricane Irma.
The Sunshine State animals were airlifted to Morristown Airport and arrived at the St. Hubert's Madison campus Saturday at approximately 5 p.m., where they ate, slept and exercised before being transferred to other shelters throughout the Northeast region.
All 75 cats spent Friday night in Madison before many were transported yesterday via the Feline Pipeline program to shelters across New England.
St. Hubert's said it accepted 232 animals affected by Hurricane Harvey and Irma this past weekend and helped coordinate all transfers.
Organized by the Humane Society of the United States with support from Wings of Rescue, Friday's transport is part of St. Hubert's WayStation program, a coordination of 58 animal welfare organizations in the eastern U.S.
In the past year this effort helped nearly 4,000 canines, according to program founder Heather Cammisa.
The welfare center also assisted in the rescue of more than 100 Texas dogs affected by Hurricane Harvey, including a ground transport of about 30 canines that arrived in Madison on Thursday, Sept. 7.
Other WayStation disaster relief efforts include the transport of about 100 North Carolina dogs and cats displaced by Hurricane Matthew and 133 more canines left without homes following the 2016 California wildfires.
Sister shelters scheduled to accept animals include:

Review: Up From the Grave (Night Huntress Series #7) by Jeaniene Frost
There's always one more grave to dig.
Lately, life has been unnaturally calm for vampires Cat Crawfield and her husband Bones. They should have known better than to relax their guard, because a shocking revelation sends them back into action to stop an all-out war…
A rogue CIA agent is involved in horrifying secret activities that threaten to raise tensions between humans and the undead to dangerous heights. Now Cat and Bones are in a race against time to save their friends from a fate worse than death…because the more secrets they unravel, the deadlier the consequences. And if they fail, their lives—and those of everyone they hold dear— will be hovering on the edge of the grave.
It's been a year since I've read anything by Jeaniene Frost, so I figured it was about time to read the latest in the Night Huntress series. (Or listen to it, in this case - I've had several purse orders lately, so listening to audio books is the only way I'll get any reading done! )
The author wastes no time getting to the action in this book. The story starts off with Don, the ghostly form of Kat's uncle, bringing some bad news; her friends, and former soldiers, are missing. As the story progresses you're hit with several plot twists that will have you gasping in surprise, and lots of action, both in the bedroom and on the battlefield. A lot of the series characters are in on the action in this book, almost as if Jeaniene is bringing the series to a close... or at least that's the feel I get from it.
Overall, it's another great book in the Night Huntress World!
Check it out for yourself here:
Have you read the series, or any of the spin off series'? Opinions welcomed. :)

text: Weak attempt at humour aside, here's my situation. 3 months have passed since I cracked my 4G iPod's screen. Lotsa blue ink covering the left half of the screen. ... but I'm over the loss. I'm OK with just using my iPod as an external hard drive (what turned out to be an expensive one!), but it seems like the screen's blue ink is slowly (it's taken 3 months to notice) spreading across the screen -- basically it's all over the left edges now. Does anyone have a definitive idea of whether this will eventually ruin the rest of the ipod's parts? I highly doubt it's leaking onto the mainboard or anything. Yes, the blue ink is all over the left border of the screen, but it's been like that for 3 months and I've still been able to use it no problem. Has nnyone dissected a broken one to see if ink bled everywhere? If I have to replace the screen just to keep the damn thing working, does anyone know if I can just buy a cheap 3G screen off eBay and stick it in myself (the warranty is void anyway)? If not, functioning as an external drive will have to suffice. Basically, I'm not willing to shell out much cash for repair so if anyone will put up instructions, I'll do it myself...at this point, wouldn't care about ruining the whole thing while trying.

Amazon has downloaded games for 50% off or more here. For me, the new Might and Magic: Heroes title caught my eye.
And on the Steam front, they're kicking off their Autumn sale now and continuing to do new deals over the weekend. Some titles like Portal 2 are $10.

Loved the location and amenities!!
Recently had my second stay with K & P. I have used the 2 Bedroom villa and a double queen room in Oglethorpe Bldg. Both were nice and reasonably priced. Always a quiet place to vacation. Rooms are cleaned well and staff is friendly and attentive.
Enjoyed staying at K & P last two years. Like the fact there are efficiency type rooms (Oglethorpe Building) available.
Thank you Bob and staff for allowing us to have a late check out. We truly appreciated it. We have told the Professor @ FLETC to keep recommending K&P. We had a wonderful time and your hotel is magnificent. Thank you!
Room 602
Only staying a night on SSI, we were lucky enough to grab a room at the King and Prince. SSI books quickly during the summers. The hotel is beautiful and the staff was very friendly from the first hello. We stayed in the Oglethorpe building, the room was very spacious and worth it. I would stay again and have already passed the hotels website along to friends and coworkers.
Was with a conference group and only staying one night because of other obligations. I booked a room at the Oglethorpe Building. Since it was more economical and away from the ocean and pool, I just didn't expect it to be as great as it was. Thanks!
The addition of the Royal Treatment Cottage was wonderful and the price was reasonable. The service was friendly and professional. Also I had left some items in my room and they were mailed to me promptly. The Housekeeping staff was very nice and helpful. I was very pleased with my room in the Oglethorpe Building. Thanks for a great stay—
Book now and save!

Cooped up all winter means weight gain, and I'm not immune. Sigh. Don't you wish there was a shot
to prevent that right along with the flu?
So a few weeks ago, I joined Weight Watchers, which once again is rated number one as the best program. I'm doing the online version. I weigh myself every Monday, record my food and exercise and try to stay within my allotted points. So far, it's working - lost a few pounds. And I love all the recipes the site provides. And the bonus points. Haven't tried PointsPlus yet though.
Have you tried a plan that works? Mainly, it's quit putting food in our mouths, right?

I'm short.
I'm short, and I don't get carsick. So guess who always sits in the backseat when there are more than two people in a car.
I'm pretty used to it, and I don't mind too much. It's better than someone getting sick behind me because they can't see through the front window. And I can't bring myself to make an un-nauseated, tall person fold their legs up to their nose so I can ride shotgun.
None of this matters if I'm driving, but my car isn't large, so I'm usually not the pilot. I'm a single gal and haven't ever up-sized my vehicle. Being single also reserves other special seating. My "sit-at-the-kid's-table" and "ride-in-the-backseat" identity is par for the course, but it's not all bad. Let's face it, we ALL want to sit at the kid's table if we're honest, but sometimes I'd like to ride in the front seat.
It would be nice to stretch out my non-long legs too. Sure I'm more comfortable in the back than a tall person, or anyone of average height, but I'd like to unbend too. And don't get me started on conversations. Even though it's never intentional, persons in the front seat seem to magically forget there is someone behind them. Maybe it's because I'm not tall enough to be seen in the rear view mirror. (Just kidding, I hope.) Conversations start off as an ABC round-about, but they eventually turn to AB with C nodding to the music coming from the back speakers.
And let's discuss the music. Most people I know use the fade control to move the weight of the sound to the backseat. I do it too, but what does that mean to the hobbit riding in the back? It means the driver's gesture of "turning down the music so everyone can hear" only works for Driver A and Passenger B. Hobbit C can still hear the music but not the people speaking in the front seats.
Once three of my friends and I decided to take a trip from Nashville to Gatlinburg. It's a beautiful drive, and there would be many laughs along the way. With less than an hour to leave another friend decided to join us. She is a great gal, and we were happy to have her on our adventure, but where did that put me? I was already in the backseat, and there was no hope for promotion.
As it were, the co-pilot was demoted due to the aforementioned car-sickness alibi of passenger number five. My DNA determined my newest seat assignment. I would ride in the middle. Unfortunately for me, the backseat wasn't a flat bench. The middle section was narrow and slightly elevated.
For once I was the one with my knees bent up to my chest for almost four hours. I tried stretching my legs out onto the armrest in front of me, but that got in the way of the only two comfortable passengers. It took half a day for the feeling in my bum to return, but I'd do it again. Never have I laughed so much on a trip. We found that there are song lyrics for every occasion and every conversation. The conversation maintained a nice flow and the music was accompanied by five enthusiastic voices. We perfected the art of speaking in song titles and lyrics. Whose Line is it Anyway had nothing on us.
We still laugh about that trip. Maybe someday I'll find myself on another road trip with a group of friends, and maybe I'll finally own a grown-up sized car, so I can drive- in the front seat!
(teeheehee... And don't you LOVE the silly photo of the cow in the car. You can find anything online!)

|Club Katsuni website
From what I could see from the tour, this website Club Katsuni.com looks good, and inside the members area it looks even better. After you put in your username and pass you are taken to a first page that is fairly simple yet there is everything you need. At the top we have these items on the menu: Home, Videos, Photosets, My Fucking Private Life, Contact Me, Blog, Bonus Sites and Search/Browse - then at the center of the main table we have a recent post from her blog and then there is a section from her live shows but we don't have anything there at the moment.
Then if you move down a little bit you are going to find My Movies and My Photosets and this is about it when it comes to the main page. Back at the top, I clicked on the link for the Videos and in a short while I was taken to the page where you have all video updates with this sexy asian girl. For each video you have a 279x196 screen shot that shows you what's going on and there are several solo clips, then also lesbian videos and hardcore clips as well.
I couldn't resist to check out this clip where she is having a wild threesome with Daisy Marie, 2 hotties in one same video, priceless!! If you click on the main screen capture you will be taken to the download page where you have some more previews from the scene and then the download links and there is also a description that tells you how slutty these girls have been. When it comes about the download options, you have small clips in .wmv at 700 kbit, a full video quicktime download at 1000 kbit and if you really want the best, then go for the 2000 kbit DVD quality .wmv which is on the far right; on a side note, download speed wasn't the greatest and I only got 100 k/sec.
Back to the main videos page, we have a total of 29 videos and most of them are with other solo models. Then I moved to the photo sets, we have just 8 albums here and their quality looks pretty good but I have to add that browsing took ages. I moved to another section which is My Fucking Private Life and here you have nice backstage content and more.
$ 29.95 for 30 Days
$ 59.95 for 90 Days
$ 89.50 for 365 Days ( non-recurring )

ClubKatsuni has a nice layout and I liked the website and if you are a true fan of this sexy asian you better grab your membership right away; one thing that I did not like was the browsing speed and download speed in fact it was taking ages to open the pages and also the photos and of course the videos. The model likes to stay in touch with her fans and you can see that she keeps a regular updated blog where you can read her about travels and more. Visit Club Katsuni.

Words and photos by Tim Newby
A band with no drums," says Paul Hoffman, mandolinist, singer, and songwriter in Greensky Bluegrass. Hoffman had been trying to best explain his band's sound, which is a mix of traditional style bluegrass and a more adventurous brand of roots-rock. "I used to say that we are not a bluegrass band and try to convince people that there is more involved," says Hoffman, "but we absolutely are a bluegrass band and can play the shit out of some bluegrass. We just don't do it all day. It is not all we do." With a taste of the humor the gives the band much of its personality and makes them so much fun to see live, Hoffman continues with tongue firmly in cheek, "Besides the pun wouldn't make any sense without the second word in our name."
Hoffman is right though; bluegrass is not all they do. They are so much more than that. While their music is built firmly up the traditional bluegrass sound with their line-up of banjo, mandolin, acoustic guitar, Dobro, and upright bass, the way in which they reinterpret that traditional sound is miles away from what Bill Monroe and Earl Scruggs first played so many years ago. While they have those elements that one would expect to find in traditional bluegrass – acoustic instruments, fast virtuosic playing, tight vocal harmonies, and instrumental solo breakdowns – it is what they do with those simple elements that sets the band apart from the past and points towards the future.
Greensky Bluegrass have always tread the line between the old and the new, moving easily from traditional tunes such as "Working on a Building," or "Pig in a Pen," to Bruce Hornsby's "King of the Hill," or Traffic's "Light up or Leave me Alone," throughout the course of their high-energy live shows. This chameleon-like ability is shown fully on their song "All Four" from their 2011 album Handguns. The song starts with what seemingly seems to be a simple finger picked banjo led-lament that quickly dissolves into a lengthy, adventurous jam the likes of which would be completely foreign to those only reared in traditional bluegrass. In concert "All Four" is even more of a beast, regularly stretching past the fifteen minute-mark. And let's be honest your parent's bluegrass does not regularly include fifteen-minute spacey jams that jockey for position on the interstellar overdrive highway. It is this mix of the old and the new that has enabled Greensky Bluegrass to explode over the past couple of years and establish themselves as leaders of the new jam-grass movement.
Since forming in 2000 in Kalamazoo, Michigan around the trio of banjo-picker Michael Arlen Bont, guitarist Dave Bruzza, and mandolinist Paul Hoffman, the band has seen a steady, rapid growth. They added bassist Mike Devol in 2004 which was soon followed by a win at the prestigious band contest at the Telluride Bluegrass Festival in 2006. Shortly after, 2007, they rounded out their line-up when they added Dobroist Anders Beck. The addition of Beck helped solidify the band's progressive take on bluegrass.
In 2010 at the annual Delfest the band had a coming-out-party of sorts. They played three sets over the course of the weekend and with each set seemed to see their audience increase in size each time. The three sets also served to showcase all the far-ranging aspects of Greensky's diverse musical personality. They started the weekend playing along with Del McCoury and host of guests when their main stage set was rained out and they moved inside to the Music Hall and played as part of the songwriter showcase. Their set inside ended up being more a showcase for Greensky and their traditional chops as they played a set that was nothing but old covers and bluegrass songs. The following morning the band started the day again inside the Music Hall playing a set list that was entirely made up of rock covers that do not normally rear their heads in the bluegrass world, which allowed the band to exhibit their unmatched ability to meld completely diverse styles of music into something wholly unique. Greensky's final set of the weekend was to a packed field at the side stage during which they played nothing but original material. It was the perfect capstone to the weekend as the band had shown all facets of their vast musical spectrum over their three sets and defined what truly makes up the music of Greensky Bluegrass, a mix that Hoffman describes as "our material, bluegrass, and those weird covers and other things we bring to bluegrass or we bring bluegrass too."
This diversity of the band's musical persona is perfectly captured on the band's latest album, the stunning If Sorrows Swim. The album, like the band, veers from style to style, yet does so while maintaining an identity that is wholly Greensky. The album was built around the skeleton of twelve songs written by the band's primary songwriters Hoffman and guitarist Bruzza, yet arranged by the whole band. Hoffman says the band's approach this time was different than on previous albums. "We had worked on the songs some before we got into the studio, but this time more than any other album it was undecided what the shape of it would be until we got into the studio. It was pretty drastic sometimes. We would say, 'Let's play this song bluegrassy, let's try it halftime, folky, swingy,' there was a lot of freedom and possibilities." The songs slowly developed and took shape both on stage and in the studio. For Hoffman one of the toughest things was finally saying a song was finished, "Each song morphed and changed and that is one of the hard things of making a record, that commitment to the song and the final draft of it."
The final draft of If Sorrows Swim is a schizophrenic mix, bouncing from the heartfelt lament of album opener "Windshield," to the classic banjo roll on "Letter to Seymour," to the rocking one-two punch of "Kerosene," and "Demons," but a schizophrenic mix that has a unifying, cohesive feel to it. "Working song arrangement and order was a challenge with this record," explains Hoffman, "This is not a concept album where clearly this song goes before this one and leads into this one like Dark Side of the Moon that is all in the key of A and B and all relative pitch wise and it just goes the way it goes because that's how it goes." To help with the sequencing of the album, Hoffman says the band thought of it like one of their lives shows and paced it like they would a set list. "When we write a set list we pay attention to how it's going to flow and where to put the fast ones in and where to put the spacey ones in. So I think the album flows like that." This approach to pacing and song-order was born from the band's desire to always keep things interesting on stage. "Early on we didn't want to just play bluegrass all night long because that would be boring to just go chucka-chucka all night," says Hoffman, "Sometimes we want to go boom-boom!" This live set list approach to the sequencing of the album rewards a long attention span, as it moves and peaks like a concert and takes the listener on a sonic, emotional journey.
The album opens with the slow-burning build-up of "Windshield." "Windshield" is a powerful opener Hoffman describes as a "real four-on-the-floor, downbeat, back chop which is sorta the opposite of what we are supposed to do." It is precisely the kind of huge song U2 would have written in the eighties if they had decided to ditch their pretentious rock-leanings and grab acoustic instruments and pick some bluegrass. The song is a compelling statement from Greensky about what they are capable of and where they are going musically. While it hints at the band's bluegrass roots, it highlights their ability to take those roots and push them all over the musical map. The rest of the album follows this exploratory template laid down in the first song. Over the course of If Sorrows Swim Greensky uses inventive song structures, tasteful melodic phrasing, and unique sonic textures to create an album that pushes the limits and boundaries of bluegrass-inspired music into the stratosphere, going to realms never visited by the banjo and mandolin before.
The dynamics of having two primary songwriters, with Hoffman's more rock-styled tunes and Bruzza's elegantly traditional sounding songs, help create a contrast of themes and styles that work to flesh out the personality of the album. Hoffman mentions some of the new ideas and chances he has been taking in his songwriting and how they have been influenced by some unlikely musicians:
I like to listen to something that I can get an idea about song structure and melodic tendencies from because folk and bluegrass stays pretty formulaic. What's great about our band is I can write great songs that stand alone with me singing and playing guitar, but we are also a rock band that does all this exploratory stuff and can open it up and explore every night and there is a real balance between the two.
I listen to an album by a band like Alt-J and it is all about textures and I love the feel and mood of the music. Then I will listen to Jason Isabell's new record and be like, man, this guy can write some friggin' lyrics and I am inspired by both things in a different way.
Greensky Bluegrass has been on a steady trajectory upward since their first days as a band. They have seen half-full venues become packed the next time they visit, they have seen early-afternoon side-stage timeslots grow into main stage headlining slots at festivals, and they have seen their fan base organically grow as Hoffman proudly declares, "a handful of fans at a time." With the release of If Sorrows Swim and the way it will appeal to a broad spectrum of fans, those fans will most likely grow at a rate much greater rate than a handful at a time. If Sorrows Swim seems to herald broad, new horizons for the band; Hoffman says that while they are excited they look took to keep things in perspective. "I hope this record gets as much attention as it can get, but we don't want anything we don't deserve. I would love to see some more of that crossover to fans of something like Jason Isabell who didn't think they liked bluegrass, but they really like one of our songs or a fan of Alt-J who can listen and think 'Wow, these guys can make some nice textures.' Just like I cross over in my tastes, I want people to not be afraid that we are a bluegrass band, so that they will actually sink in and realize they like it. And that seems to happen more and more every year and the more that happens the prouder I am," Hoffman pauses before finishing his thought, "It is all about good music. It is either good or it is not."

Speaking of illegal arc selling reminded me of Amazon. There are so many ppl on there that sell their arc's. Some are for charity though.. I got so fed up with thinking I was getting a good deal on used book that I don't buy them used unless I see what it looks like..

I've seen people sell them on Ebay, and getting more then what they sell for, like almost double the price...I bought from Thriftbooks a few times, books were supposed to be hardcovers, when I got them in the mail, they were ARCs...I don't buy online anymore unless they are from retailers I trust.

Einat Admony's Recipe for Falafel-Crusted Grouper With Heirloom Tomato Salad
In this recipe from Manhattan's Bar Bolonat, chef Einat Admony delivers the flavors of falafel in a crunchy crust for fish, and completes the dish with a bright heirloom tomato salad
PERCHED ON A STOOL at Bar Bolonat, her four-month-old place in Manhattan's West Village, Einat Admony explained what's distinctive about each of her restaurants—this latest, serving modern Israeli cuisine; Taim, a nearby falafel shop with an outpost in Nolita and a food truck; and Balaboosta, a homey space where "Mediterranean meets Middle East." But she emphasized that her different kitchens continually inform each other.
Take the falafel-crusted grouper served with an heirloom tomato salad at Bar Bolonat. It's...

In the sultry waters outside Banda Aceh, Indonesia, a doctor and a nurse from Colorado Springs work long sweaty days helping people whose lives have become a living hell. On Dec. 26, a magnitude 9 earthquake struck, creating deadly tsunamis that razed coastlines across much of southern Asia.
Brian Crawford, a doctor for Front Range Emergency Specialists and Angela Waterbury, director of nursing at Colonial Columns Nursing Center, traveled there this month to lend help in the ongoing health crisis.
"It's quite amazing to see the sheer amount of force of nature that could destroy a complete amount of coastline," Crawford said. He marveled that the tsunami's brute force had washed fishing boats 5 kilometers inland.
But the most incredible thing, Crawford says, is the resiliency of Indonesians in the face of death. He watched locals digging graves. "They're working hard in 100-degree heat and 100-degree humidity and they're singing away."
Waterbury, who spends days caring for patients aboard the USNS Mercy, one of the U.S. Navy's hospital ships, reported similar catharsis when meeting Indonesians. "The children run out and they grab you and they smile," she said.
The pair is part of a 93-member medical volunteer team organized by Project HOPE, a humanitarian medical relief organization (www.projecthope.org), in conjunction with the Navy. They arrived in February and will remain through the end of March. When she returns to Colorado Springs, Waterbury said, she'll remind others and herself to "appreciate life -- it's taken away so easily."
