Hanging out with lifelong friends reminded me of the value of setting time aside for relationships. This is something that's inherent in every teenagers life but as adults the list of responsibilities seems to be endless and in many cases takes precedence over investing in relationships and spending time having fun with others. Reminiscing about fun times in high school and college reminded me that while our house may be a mess and the same pile of car parts is sitting in the garage still waiting to be installed, lifelong memories and fellowship are way more valuable and fulfilling and should be a priority.
Also, as we visited with family and I took in all of the pictures of my grandparents in my Aunt's beach condo, I was struck with what an amazing legacy they left behind after fleeing a communist takeover in Cuba in 1960 and the "Fin de una vida y comienzo de otro." (The end of one life and start of another) As part of the first wave of Cuban immigrants my grandfather left behind a successful career as a lawyer to start life over as a milkman, eventually earning a PhD and raising 4 successful kids in his new country. I have no doubt that if he was still here with us today he would be incredibly proud of the beautiful families each of his kids have raised as well as the generosity they show towards others within and outside of the family.

Falmouth health board delays wind turbine discussion
Credit: Sean F. Driscoll Cape Cod Times | October 22, 2013 | www.capecodonline.com ~~
FALMOUTH – The Falmouth Board of Health postponed its discussion of sleep factors – a talk stemming from the ongoing debate on the town's wind turbines – for two weeks Monday after one of its members, Stephen Rafferty, was unexpectedly unable to attend the meeting.
The Board of Health has re-entered the turbine debate after the Board of Selectmen voted to run the turbines for 16 hours a day, up from their previous 12-hour operation. That leaves 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. as the only off time for the devices, which have been the subject of health-related complaints from neighbors virtually since their installation. Opponents say that's not enough time to guarantee a restful night's sleep, especially for children, which makes the turbines' operation a public health matter.
The Board of Health will next meet at 7 p.m. Nov. 4 at Falmouth Town Hall, 59 Town Hall Square.
Also the wind turbine controversy was the subject of a feature story on ABC's "Good Morning America" on Monday. The story, which was only 40 seconds on the air but can be seen in a longer version online, focused on Falmouth resident Sue Hobart and provided an overview of the controversy to date.

It Begins… Retired Liberal Supreme Court Judge: Repeal the Second Amendment
Retired Supreme Court Judge John Paul Stevens wrote an oped Tuesday in the New York Times calling for the repeal of the Second Amendment of the US Constitution.
Second Amendment: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed.
Liberal judge Stevens wants the Second Amendment repealed.
Via The New York Times:
Rarely in my lifetime have I seen the type of civic engagement schoolchildren and their supporters demonstrated in Washington and other major cities throughout the country this past Saturday. These demonstrations demand our respect. They reveal the broad public support for legislation to minimize the risk of mass killings of schoolchildren and others in our society.
That support is a clear sign to lawmakers to enact legislation prohibiting civilian ownership of semiautomatic weapons, increasing the minimum age to buy a gun from 18 to 21 years old, and establishing more comprehensive background checks on all purchasers of firearms. But the demonstrators should seek more effective and more lasting reform. They should demand a repeal of the Second Amendment.
Concern that a national standing army might pose a threat to the security of the separate states led to the adoption of that amendment, which provides that "a well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed." Today that concern is a relic of the 18th century.
Here's a history lesson on gun confiscation.

EuroMillions jackpot winners Dave and Angie Dawes who won £101 million recently are being exploited by internet scam artists. Several unsuspecting victims have been contacted by fraudsters claiming to be the EuroMillions winners in an effort to cheat them out of their money.
The spam mail has been received by thousands in the UK and claims to be from the Dawes'. The mail informs the recipient that the couple are giving away their winnings with just two percent being kept aside for a rainy day.
The e-mail then goes on to say that "We have voluntarily decided to donate the sum of 1,000,000.00 Pounds to you as part of our own charity project to improve the lot of 20 lucky people all over the world. If you have received this email, then you are one of the lucky recipients."
It ends asking the recipient to reply to Mr. Dawes private email id with details of their bank account.
Camelot has released a statement informing the public that the email is not from the couple. Spokesman Simon Horne said: 'It is not from Dave and Angie Dawes. People need to delete the emails and not reply or engage in any conversation. It is very sad that this happens."
When the Dawes' won their jackpot in October 2011, they had publicly stated that they intended to share their new-found fortune with friends and family. Mr. Dawes had said, "We've drawn up a list of about 15 to 20 people who we're going to sort of make millionaires. Anyone that's helped us through our life."
Presumably, the fraudsters have used this to try and legitimize their email to unsuspecting victims. Camelot warns lottery players to pay no heed to such mails and advises them to delete it immediately.
In the meanwhile, the EuroMillions lottery has been reset and will be worth £12 million tomorrow night.

Ex-Cork City man Ross Gaynor is the Northern Ireland Football Writers' Association's Player of the Month for March.
The Linfield midfielder scored 5 goals in as many games for his club last month.
He bagged braces against both Cliftonville and Glentoran, in the Irish Cup and in the league respectively, as well as a fine strike in a comprehensive victory over Warrenpoint at Milltown.
On receiving his award, Gaynor paid compliment to the league and his teammates saying "Its physical and fast here, which I really like.
"I have been playing higher up the pitch which suits me and playing with great strikers has allowed me to get among the goals."
Gaynor's boss David Healy rightfully picked up the Manager of the Month accolade.
The Blues enjoyed an unbeaten month with two victories over Belfast rivals Cliftonville, including an Irish Cup Quarter-Final, adding to a string of fine results with wins also coming over Glentoran, Ballinamallard and Warrenpoint.
The award is Healy's second since joining Linfield but he was quick to put the focus onto his players' fine form.
"The team are on a high at the moment, we have a cup final to look forward to and sets us up for a great finish to the season."

Over at My Sheri Crafts it is my BFF Sandy's turn to choose the theme of our fortnightly challenge and she has come up with 'The First Day of Fall'. It is her favorite time of the year as she loves the colour of fall.
I decided to make a card but this time with no image! I knew I wanted to just put a sentiment in there so that is what I've done.
The card is a 5x7 card base in forest green. I made my own decorative paper by stamping a flourish and embossing in white, then added several layers of distress ink until I was happy. I matted that on to gold mirri tied a tartan ribbon around and added it to the card.
Then I printed my text and cut out using a SB die then adding mirri. I added a collection of gems to the top corners and a pile of leaves to the bottom.
Then just for Sandy I added the perfect adjective by Verve which I cut out twice.
Now it's your turn to show us your "fall" card.
Thanks for stopping by today.

Olga's Girls
A vicious underworld leader brings the pain for her female underlings in this celebrated sexploitation "roughie," a sequel to White Slaves of Chinatown. Olga (Audrey Campbell) is a woman who, working with "the Syndicate" (a criminal network that encompasses the local mafia and several Russian and Chinese communist operatives), oversees a stable of women who do double duty as prostitutes and drug pushers. Olga is a cruel woman who will tolerate no misbehavior among her charges (many of whom are addicted to "the Big H" and work for her to feed their habits), and subjects them to periodic torture sessions when she feels they aren't living up to her expectations. When Olga discovers that one of her girls has turned informant, she takes it upon herself to beat the truth out of the women until she finds out who has betrayed her, leading several embittered hookers and addicts to turn against their cruel mistress...though Olga ends up having the last word.

Recognizing how men and women differ in brain structure and hormone flows can help people create and continue the kinds of relationships they want. Oversimplifying, a woman's oxytocin and a man's testosterone promote opposite behaviors and attitudes. That can make magic for a while, but people who expect courtship behavior to continue indefinitely are usually disappointed. Two out of three divorces are initiated by women, often because women want and expect something different from what men deliver. Dr. Kathy F

John Heard, the star of many 80s and 90s movies including Home Alone and Beaches, has died aged 72.
The actor, who won hearts as the long-suffering father of a large and unruly brood in the Home Alone series, was found alone in a California hotel room, according to numerous reports. Emergency services were unable to revive him. He'd had minor back surgery earlier in the week but the cause of death is unknown, reports said.
Movie fans will remember him as Bette Midler's husband in Beaches and as Tom Hank's arch-enemy in Big, as well as for critically acclaimed turns as a wounded Vietnam veteran in 1981's Cutter's Way opposite Jeff Bridges and as the horrible Reverend Dimmesdale in a PBS version of The Scarlet Letter in 1979.
He was later nominated for an Emmy for his role as a corrupt detective on hit mob series The Sopranos.
He was married three times, including for a short time to Superman actress Margot Kidder.
Tributes to the actor poured in from Hollywood stars after news of his death broke. Jeff Bridges, who starred with Heard in Cutter's Way, described him as a "wonderful actor", having got to experience "his artistry and dedication first hand".
"My heart goes out to his family and loved ones," Bridges tweeted. "We miss & love you, John."
Devastated to hear of the passing of lifelong friend #JohnHeard. A complex and brilliant man and a true artist. I will miss him dearly. #RIP

For a bit over a year, I had the pleasure of working alongside a fellow trader in the small central London trading office that we set up in January 2014.
As independent retail traders, we all face many challenges and issues. The challenges often vary from one trader to the next. Mr France's issues were different to mine. In our trading office we tried to help each other overcome our weaknesses.
For a short while Mr France (as I like to call him) and I also traded some funds together – well, Mr France traded it and I provided some feedback and suggestions on risk & money management and other aspects.
Even though he now works out of a trading arcade in the City we still meet up on a regular basis. This week, he suggested that we resume the teamwork that we had last year. We both benefited a lot from when we did this a year ago. So we are planning to work together more closely once again. Mr France will be trading his own money this time, but he welcomes regular discussions on how he is getting on. We are planning to share the content of some of our conversations on the blog here (particularly because I am not writing on much else either!), so that might be interesting material for people to read.
I am expecting that this arrangement will be very beneficial for both of us.

Abstract Neural electrodes hold tremendous potential for improving understanding of brain function and restoring lost neurological functions. Multi-walled carbon nanotube MWCNT and dexamethasone Dex-doped poly3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene PEDOT coatings have shown promise to improve chronic neural electrode performance. Here, we employ electrochemical techniques to characterize the coating in vivo. Coated and uncoated electrode arrays were implanted into rat visual cortex and subjected to daily cyclic voltammetry CV and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy EIS for 11 days. Coated electrodes experienced a significant decrease in 1 kHz impedance within the first two days of implantation followed by an increase between days 4 and 7. Equivalent circuit analysis showed that the impedance increase is the result of surface capacitance reduction, likely due to protein and cellular processes encapsulating the porous coating. Coating's charge storage capacity remained consistently higher than uncoated electrodes, demonstrating its in vivo electrochemical stability. To decouple the PEDOT-MWCNT material property changes from the tissue response, in vitro characterization was conducted by soaking the coated electrodes in PBS for 11 days. Some coated electrodes exhibited steady impedance while others exhibiting large increases associated with large decreases in charge storage capacity suggesting delamination in PBS. This was not observed in vivo, as scanning electron microscopy of explants verified the integrity of the coating with no sign of delamination or cracking. Despite the impedance increase, coated electrodes successfully recorded neural activity throughout the implantation period. View Full-Text

The latest initiative of the British counter-terror police, to ask British Muslim women to persuade their relatives not to go to Syria to fight, is an unfortunate legacy of the widely-criticised PREVENT strategy. Yet again, British counter-terror police are seeking to present themselves as friends of British Muslims - but yet again it's a relationship built on holding an entire demographic as responsible and guilty for "terrorism".
Launched a day after Tony Blair's comments on the threat of 'radical Islam', this latest police initiative fails to tackle the root cause of the 'jihadi terror threat', namely the large-scale suffering of so many people within a Muslim-majority country. More specifically with regards to Syria, many people are horrified by the prevailing power of a brutal family-run kleptocracy and disillusioned with a global political reality which accepts the deaths of 200,000 people (regarded as brothers and sisters by many British Muslims). Family members of Brits killed fighting in Syria have stated the primary motivation for fighting in Syria comes from the desire to fight Assad. Even British fighters with ISIS (the most extreme jihadist faction in Syria) have stated that they have no desire to attack Britain.
Meanwhile, the UK's senior national co-ordinator for counter-terrorism, Helen Ball, says that Muslim women should inform the police if their children are spending more time on the internet or getting angry about what's going on in Syria. As a British non-Muslim who not only spends time on the internet but gets angry about Syria, I'm not considered as a terrorist threat. But by Ball's logic, any of my Muslim friends who also do this are potential terrorists wanting to attack Britain, and they should therefore be reported to the police by their own mothers. The illogical nature of Ball's statement has already been noticed with the satirical hashtag #SignsYourSonMayBeGoingToSyria trending on Twitter. Yet this shouldn't mask the fundamentally racist nature of a campaign which clamps down on political activity amongst one specific British community, and further alienates the very people it claims to be seeking to bring on board.
Instead, the British government should focus on policies which will contribute to a meaningful change on the ground within Syria, not only to alleviate short-term suffering but also to facilitate the long-term, Syrian-led re-building of Syria whilst also offering a means to participation for angry British youths who want to help. Firstly, the government should provide more humanitarian aid. At present 3.5 million Syrians have no access whatsoever to humanitarian aid, a total disgrace given the fanfare that surrounded the pledges of aid by foreign governments. Despite the UN appeal in January 2014 for $6bn in humanitarian aid for Syria, just $2.3bn has been pledged so far, and staggeringly just £1.1bn has actually been donated. An aid increase would make a crucial difference to the situation on the ground, and provide a route for Brits to assist peacefully such as by fund-raising.
Secondly, the UK could accept more refugees. Latest figures suggest at least 9 million Syrians have been forced to leave their homes since Assad's crackdown began following protests in 2011. Yet, for all David Cameron has spoken of the UK having a "moral responsibility to help", the UK has accepted just 500 refugees, or 0.000055% of all Syrian refugees. To put this in some perspective, Lebanon has taken in so many refugees that every 1 in 5 people in Lebanon is now a Syrian refugee. The UK would do well to follow the example of Turkey, which has been widely praised for its response to the refugee crisis, which has included granting refugees access to education and healthcare. Taking in more refugees would not only help to deal with the current humanitarian crisis, but demonstrate the UK's genuine desire to help Syrians, at the same time also providing an opportunity for young Brits of all faiths to engage in constructive assistance.
Thirdly, the British government could increase efforts to work with Syrian-led NGOs which seek to assist Syria in the long-term. There are ongoing projects to deliver educational programmes in Syria on the subject of international law (so as to lay the foundations for a future society based upon human rights), or which are working to relieve the level of immediate suffering and to facilitate reconciliation. British support for such initiatives would not only contribute to the reconstruction of Syria, but would also show that there are possibilities for non-violent activism.
The focus on policing those who are emotionally affected by the situation in Syria does not deal with the crisis in hand. People have the right to be angry, and should be angry at the sheer death and destruction being wreaked on Syria by the regime. The British government should be pleased that young people are both angry and keen to do something to help. The best way to stop the 'threat' of 'radicalisation' is to transform legitimate anger into productive non-violent action to help Syria.


text: SOUTH BEND -- The Redevelopment Commission voted 3-1 Friday to buy the former B'Nai Yisrael (Sons of Israel) synagogue next to Stanley Coveleski Stadium. The commission approved a purchase agreement for $130,000. The building, at 416 S. William St., is near the stadium's left field wall and is in the center of the city's targeted master planning around the Cove. City planner Bill Schalliol said at the meeting that the future of the building is unclear. He said the city is interested in preserving it in some way, either at its current location to fit into the expanded ballpark or moved to another location. Schalliol said a study on the building has shown that it can be picked up and moved. The building also has a protective covenant on it from the Historic Landmarks Foundation of Indiana. Schalliol said this means HLFI has a right of refusal on building uses, and the city will discuss potential uses with the group. The protective covenant also means that specific elements, such as light fixtures, must stay with the building, Schalliol said. Although no plans yet exist for the building, Schalliol said ideas include offices, a ballpark gift shop or a private use such as a restaurant. With control of the site, Schalliol said HOK Sport Inc., the planning consultant for the neighborhood, will have more flexibility in its recommendations for the site. Chris Wood, who bought the building from HLFI in 2005, has been renovating the building for his home. When Wood bought it from HLFI, it had been vacant for almost 20 years and was deteriorating. Although Wood said he would've liked to finish the project and live in the building, he knows the city has bigger plans for the area and didn't want to stand in the way of progress, once the other properties around his were acquired. Wood said he didn't feel pressured by the city to sell the property and that city staff has some good ideas for the Cove neighborhood. He said he hopes the city will be able to save the building by moving it and that the historic restoration work can continue. According to Tribune archives, the orthodox synagogue was built in 1901 for the Sons of Israel congregation and is believed to be the first permanent building for Jewish worship in South Bend. The brick building is built in the Romanesque Revival style. In the early 1900s, the area bounded by Western Avenue and William, Taylor and Monroe streets was the heart of the city's Jewish neighborhood. The synagogue was renamed B'Nai Yisrael in 1982. Services at the building ended about 1990. Staff writer Margaret Fosmoe contributed to this report. Staff writer Jamie Loo: email@example.com (574) 235-6337

Florida Cop Shot, Run Over With Car Hours After NYPD Murders
A veteran police officer and father of six was killed in Florida just hours after the murder of two NYPD officers in Brooklyn.
'Best Father I Could Ask For': Son of Slain NYPD Officer Eulogizes Dad
Charles Kondek (above), who had worked previously for the NYPD, was shot by the suspect and then run over with a car early Sunday in Tarpon Springs.
Kondek had responded at around 3am local time to a complaint about loud music coming from a car.
Marco Antonio Parilla Jr., 24 (below), was arrested after crashing the car as he tried to get away. He is expected to appear in court later today.
Police say a car was playing loud music and when officers asked a female passenger to turn it down, she flipped them off. Marco Antonio Parilla Jr. was the driver in the car. Police say he left a party in Pasco County and was going to confront a man he said who ratted him out for a parole violation.
Deputies say Parilla began knocking on doors and at some point when Officer Kondek showed up, he began firing at him. One of the bullets hit the officer above his bullet proof vest. Deputies say as Parilla drove away, he ran over the officer.
Shayla Reaves of WTVT reported the latest details on "Fox and Friends" this morning. She said Parilla's rap sheet includes grand theft, drug trafficking and using a fake name.
Authorities described Parilla as a "caged rat," who attacked the officer because he knew he was going back to prison for violating his parole.
Watch the report above.

The ramp bridge from eastbound Interstate 70 to southbound Interstate 35 in the downtown highway loop will require more extensive repairs than initially thought and will remain closed until June 1.
The ramp bridge was closed April 14 after inspectors found significant deterioration. The Missouri Department of Transportation expected repairs to take two to three weeks.
But officials determined the deteriorated section of the ramp bridge needs to be replaced, taking more time. The project will involve adding 7,500 pounds of steel and 1,416 new bolts.
The ramp bridge was built in 1967 and is normally used by 4,000 to 5,000 vehicles a day.

text: More about casting on those Endpaper Mitts. And I do mean the actual "cast on". Eunny's pattern calls for the Italian tubular cast on. But first I must say, that I love. love. love that Eunny specifies which cast on. Most commercial patterns don't and it always bugs me, because I am a firm believer in using an appropriate cast on. Eunny even links to fantastic tutorial. Second, today must be the day to discuss tubular cast ons. Kathy's blog is one of the first I ever read. Or for that matter, stumbled on to, while googling the combined method of knitting. I'm a big fan of Grumperina and take her suggestions seriously. Her first mention of Monste Stanley's book and the loads of cast-ons, cast offs, increases, decreases, etc had my heart go pitter-patter. That is the kind of info I CRAVE. And the book does not disappoint! I'm not even ashamed to admit that I occasionally HUG it. But this Italian tubular cast-on is (gasp!) not in the book. So I was very eager to try this cast on. And the aforementioned tutorial is really clear and helpful. I practiced and practiced till I had mine neat and pretty like the example. BUT of course I don't know how to count. It only took a few hundred times till I had the 56 (not 46, 58, 52, etc) stitches ready to join in the round. I guess that would be the only tricky part of the cast on for me, it's a lil difficult to count the number of stitches cast on until you've knit those first two rows (especially with my lil helpers helping). But I do love the end effect. So that's all I got for today. I won't bother with a pic of my meager beginnings of these mitts, but to avoid going picture-less here is picture of the octopus from World of Knitted Toys (just for you Jo).

Reba Meyers (Code Orange): Drumception
The people over at Gear Gods come up with great ideas. Working with Toontrack, the folks who make Superior Drummer 3 drum programming software, they had Megadeth drummer Dirk Verbeuren compose an original song on drums alone, and then sent those drum tracks out to several guitarists and had them write and perform their own songs over the drums. This is the second round of their "Drumception" series... a killer idea to show off the creative skills of various musicians.
One of those players for this new round is ESP player Reba Meyers of Code Orange, who puts together an absolutely brutal death metal song over the drum tracks. Reba is using her trusty LTD Deluxe Viper-1000, one of the few guitars that can keep up with Reba in complete badassness.

CAMBRIDGESHIRE, U.K. – Two police officers, John Richardson and David Littlemore, were given suspended sentences yesterday by a judge in the case of assaulting John Morgan. Morgan, a 59 year old diabetic, was attacked by the two officers in August of last year as he sat peacefully at a park bench with his dog, the BBC reports.
The officers had been tasked with finding one Bill King, a 76 year old man with Alzheimer's who had gone missing from his residence. Dispatch radioed the officers a description of what King was believed to be dressed in, and that he had a black and white dog with him, according to the Daily Mail.
When Richardson and Littlemore came upon Morgan, they believed he was Bill King, as he was reportedly dressed similarly. They asked that Morgan identify himself. Morgan reportedly told the officers that he was not the missing man they were searching for, and would not surrender his name or address to them.
The officers testified that Morgan's refusal to identify lead them to conclude that Morgan's Welsh accent, which is actually authentic, was being faked, and as Bill King was reported to not have a Welsh accent, they therefore felt it was King they were speaking to.
Following this meandering and ridiculous logic, the officers proceeded to assault Morgan and threw him to the ground, where he endured punches, had his arms twisted and fingers bent backwards, and was pinned down for some time.
Morgan said of the incident:
"I remember asking them about my human rights and taking their collar [i.e. badge] numbers which I forgot and being very disorientated. I remember officer two [Richardson] saying he 'did not care' repeatedly about my vulnerability."
The assault came to end only after dispatch confirmed for the officers that their actual target, Bill King, had a Bull Terrier dog, whilst Morgan's dog was a Jack Russell.
Realizing they now had the wrong man, the officers let Morgan go. Bill King would indeed later be found by these same officers, and was reportedly "assisted" in getting back to his home by officer Richardson.
Yesterday, Judge Susan Holdham rendered on the case, where she chastised Richardson and Littlemore. She sentenced the two police officers to three months jail, suspended for two years, on charges of "assault by beating" and excessive force; 200 and 150 community service hours for Richardson and Littlemore, respectively; and each man was ordered to pay 1,030 British pounds in fines, including an 80 pound "victim surcharge."
Richardson and Littlemore have also been suspended from their police department, and must now face misconduct proceedings by Cambridgeshire Police in addition to abiding by Judge Holdham's sentencing.

AHM Summer Youth Theater is one of our longest running programs. Students spend five weeks rehearsing and performing a major musical every summer. Every child who wants to be on stage receives a part. It is a great experience for seasoned and new students to join every year. Our program challenges and inspires students to think creatively and express themselves in new ways while encouraging a passion for theater.
The 2018 Summer Youth Theater Production Will Be: "13: The Musical"
For more information on this year's production, please click here.
A Message From Our Summer Youth Theater Director & Choreographer
Wow! What a great summer! The 2017 Summer Youth Theater was a success in every way. We are so happy with the results. More than five hundred people joined us in seeing this wonderful production. As you may know, this year was a little special as I was taking over for Mary Rose Meade after a 25 year track record of undoubted success. This was no easy task. Yet, I am very pleased with how the show prevailed. "Seussical" was a lovely way to start a new page for our Summer Youth Theater program. We had nearly fifty participants in this year's production. We were so happy to add sixth graders to our production. Additionally, we were so happy to recognize Gayla Simmons and Chris Ambrose for their years of service within this program. We simply could not do this program without them! The costumes were brighter than ever, the band was rockin' and the students danced like they had never danced before. If you saw "Seussical" you know better than anyone that choreography played a large role in this year's production. The kids loved it!

Bowieoke Circus – Bethnal Green Working Men's Club 11th Feb
Three and a half years since we called time on 'The best night out in London' according to Chris Addison, we're back. One night only. All Bowie songs. All proceeds are going to Cancer Research UK and MacMillan Cancer Support. We've got some incredible guest singers and some old favourites all doing songs, plus open spots and the chance to win a 'quite good prize'. There might even be an art auction (we're still working out the deets). It sold out in 45 minutes, and all extra tickets have gone as well now. But look out on twitter for spare tickets that become available on the day.
Let all the children boogie…

If WC has a favorite penguin, among the ten or so species he has seen, it has to be the Adélie Penguin. This bird is all business, all of the time. Partly, that's because they are the most southerly-dwelling of all the penguin species. Emperor Penguins famously breed further south, but when Emperor chicks are fledged the species heads north. Adélies, by contrast, remain at the southernmost edge of open water year-round.
As a species, Adélies are doing all right globally, but in the area of the Antarctic Peninsula, where WC saw them, they are in deep trouble, Adélies are krill and silverfish specialists, and those prey are found at the melting edge of the sea ice. As that sea ice retreats further and further, or vanishes altogether, Adélie colonies are failing. That has a cascade effect among species like Skuas, Orcas and Leopard Sets that depend on Adélies for food.
Adélies live very close to the edge. It doesn't take much to push them over that edge.
There's an excellent book on the plight of the West Antarctic Adélie Penguins, Fraser's Penguins, by Fen Montaigne (Amazon link). While slightly dated – it was published in 2010 – it documents the effect of climate change on this delightful species. And the effect is draconian. If we're not careful, they'll be gone.

Predicting 2062
IEEE, the flagship body of professional electrical engineering societies, has run a recent edition in the Proceedings on predicting the technological trends in 2062 to commemorate its 100th anniversary celebrations. I spent much of the day trying to glean insights from custodians of the society on the various aspects of electrical engineering and where they will stand in the near- to far-future. With the caveat that "anyone trying to wish to predict the future will surely only make a joke(r) of oneself," it was indeed a brave attempt by many folks to predict the future. Sadly, I saw a lot of self tom-tomming in these future predictions as well as equations (!) and technical definitions. Of course, that did nt impress me much.
Now noone is going to ask a nobody such as me on what the trends would be/could be. Nevertheless, there is ample space in this world for nobodies to divine the future, even if they are laughably insane. With the further caveat that technology minus sociology is arrant nonsense, here we go:
1) Ability to communicate a very complex range of thoughts, ideas and emotions without an active effort such as talking, writing, etc., and the consequent near-vestigeality of many human body parts.
2) A telecommunications landscape that is a patchwork of fixes and solutions with legacy solutions of different eras hugging the terrain with whatever jargon fancies the engineers that day and age. Signal processing solutions that closely mimic the DNA and evolution-based ideas minus the blackboxes of the neural kind. More sophisticated use of chaotic/unreliable parts to make a reliable whole that somehow magically aids the crossing of technical barriers and stumbling blocks.
3) Information that scales at an astronomical rate, yet the near-easy ability to keep up with this scaling although a near-soporific nature on the part of people to keep up. Part of the solution to conquering this seemingly indomitable barrier is to detect and identify data replication and redundancies at multiple levels.
4) A single universal device core with many components that are exclusively used under different circumstances with easily upgradeable/replaceable/removable resources/parts. A back to the past journey where one man/woman is defined by one device rather than a gazillion.
5) Increased use of higher dimensional lifts to solve lower dimensional problems because elegance is not necessary when brute shall suffice. Increased use of high overheads in multiple engineering solutions leading to an exasperation on the inefficiencies that define the feasible solution space.
6) A very complicated and diverse ecosystem of people with gaps between any-capability haves and the capability have-nots reaching astronomical highs. Almost all the information sources of all the eras can be searched in a jiffy, but the affordability of the price tag for this capability will define the class warfare of tomorrow.
7) Solutions that are individualized -- health, devices, education, food and services -- at ever-more affordable prices, yet a very fundamental and indivisible dichotomy that creates, builds and sustains strife on a low- and medium-intensity scale. Abandoned classrooms and lecture halls as common education is correlated with more strife resulting in individualized care.
8) The ongoing war for resources supplanted by theories of optimal utilization of resources. Fundamental dichotomies of greed at the small scale and lack of greed at the large scale explained by newly developed theories of irrational player game and self-contradictory games.
9) Quantitative scientific methods in almost every field studied hitherto qualitatively leading to sociological twists/lessons that sweep through the world quickly. A cat and mouse game between spread of information and prevention of its misuse.

This is the top-level message we set out to communicate in the Brain Diaries exhibition at the Oxford University Museum of Natural History (OUMNH). I developed the interpretation strategy and then wrote the exhibition text, working with the wonderful museum team.
The brief was to tell a story about the development of the healthy human brain from pre-birth to old age. OUMNH has an incredible collection of brain specimens and expertise to draw upon, and the museum is surrounded by University departments whose staff generously made time to answer questions in the research process.
After a number of in-depth interviews and visits, I had material from conversations with key neuroscientists and psychologists tackling the team's questions, including: what is really going on, day by day, in the brain? How does something so complex grow? Do we really use only ten per cent of the brain's capacity? Can we grow new brain cells later in life? And at what age is sleep the most important?
As often happens during exhibition development, we moved through a number of ideas but settled on the notion that our brains' physical changes, including cell migration and growth, making connections, pruning, and shrinkage, usher in the phases of our lives.
With this step-by-step approach, we could tell visitors what was happening in their own brains at different ages, via chapters in a diary. We could also reveal surprises – including the fact that brain maturity, far from happening at the end of adolescence, is a state we only reach at about the age of 25.
Diary, chapter one
It's three weeks since you were conceived, and your brain has just started to form. A quarter of a million neurons are growing in your head with every passing minute. Under the guidance of your genes, you are now forming the brain cells that you will think with all your life, along with cells in your ears and eyes.
Diary, chapter three
You are now in your teenage years. How do you feel? Your brain is at peak performance. Its capacity to think now matches an adult's, and its ability to learn will never be greater. During this vital period, your prefrontal cortex is undergoing a pruning process in which active connections are strengthened while others are lost.
Diary, chapter five
At the ripe old age you've now reached, your brain has been hard at work for decades. Ever since you were forty, your brain has been shrinking by 5 percent per decade. Levels of the neurotransmitter dopamine that sends signals around the brain have also been dropping, a normal part of ageing. But there continues to be remarkable power in your brain. Neurons are still building new connections and circuits, maintaining your ability to adapt and learn.
A beautiful display of preserved mammal brains began the exhibition, exploring how the human brain evolved. The panels feature imagery from projects around the world, illustrating colourfully the layers in the neocortex, the complex connections between neurons, and the 180 specialised functional areas scientists now believe we have (via the Human Connectome Project, the red areas below relate to hearing, green to touch and blue to vision. Image: Matthew F Glasser and David C Van Essen).
The diary chapters also contain objects, interactivity, video and stories to illustrate each life stage – from a word detective game used by Oxford scientists to study children's language development, to touchable 3D-printed brains belonging to Holly Bridge, one of the neuroscientists who had advised the project, her children, and her brother.
With design by Giraffe Corner and an ambitious approach from the entire team at OUMNH, the exhibition showcases cutting-edge science alongside gems from the museum's collections. It was a privilege to contribute.
You can see an online version of the exhibition, and read about some of the scientists behind the project.

All this is by way of saying that I should have some vague idea how to grow food. I should and I don't. I frequently allow weeds to grow two feet high because I mistakenly think they're greenery (until someone points them out) and just as frequently I pull out flowers that haven't bloomed yet, patting myself on the back for actually weeding. In desperation a couple years ago, I ripped everything out of the patch on the south side of my house and covered it in landscaping fabric and mulch because I couldn't control it. Turns out you can't really kill spearmint and it's taken over half the space again, despite all my pulling.
Why then, despite my total lack of agricultural intelligence, did I decide to grow tomatoes? The answer is simple: Foghorn loves them. And it's so rare that Foghorn loves something that's actually good for her I decided it was worth investing in cherry tomato plants. I had seen the commercials for the upside down tomato-growing containers and wondered if that would aide the garden-challenged types like me. But reviews online described them as flimsy and I could see more garbage headed for the landfill at season's end and decided against them. After some research I came up with my own solution and it's working...sort of.
I purchased a large (VERY large) hanging basket with a coconut liner. I counted on my mother to pick out the tomato plants for me and she presented me with three Sweet 100 plants. I cut holes in the liner with an Xacto knife and carefully threaded the plants through. I then piled in the potting soil and sprinkled the top with marigold seeds so there would be something pretty above the practical tomatoes. I installed my newly purchased wrought iron plant holder (purchased at Hobby Lobby with a 40% off coupon) next to the deck and went to hang my planter. That's when I discovered problem #1. The thing weighed a TON. I had to use both hands to hoist it in the air and then I had a hell of a time lifting it high enough to hang. I finally got it aloft, though, and placed the chains over the hook on my plant stand.
That's when problem #2 manifested. The basket plunged to the ground taking the plant stand with it. I don't mean the stand fell over, I mean it BENT...over...sideways. I frankly didn't know the metal was that flexible. I raced off the deck and tugged the chain off the plant stand, a little afraid it would spring back to vertical and catch me in the chin on the way like something out of a Daffy Duck cartoon. It didn't, but I now had a super heavy hanging basket with tomato plants which were being crushed and nowhere to hang it. I did what any mature adult would do. I called my mommy.
Following some discussion I ran to Home Depot and arrived home with three much smaller hanging baskets with coconut liners and two more wrought iron plant stands that my mother had sitting in her garage. After cutting the new coconut liners and exhumation of the tomato plants and giving each a new home in its own planter, I was ready to grow some vegetables. I watered and I Miracle Growed and I watched marigolds sprout from the top (along with another kind of flower whose seeds I sprinkled on top of the three new baskets) and I waited for little flowers that would tell me tomatoes were coming soon. And I waited...and waited...and waited...
|Future tomatoes
|My crop
It wasn't until we were in the last month of the Inmates' summer vacation that I finally spotted a flower. Last week the flower became a small green tomato and this week we finally have RED. And I went out last night right before a thunderstorm and gathered my crop...all nine of them. I carefully washed them and yelled for Foghorn. She informed me my tomatoes weren't nearly as good as Grandma's, then quickly popped them in her mouth in quick succession like popcorn and sped off again into the night.
|Harvesting time
In Raising Demons, Shirley Jackson writes of making homemade maple syrup from her own Vermont trees. By the time she counted up the costs of equipment, the electricity to run a stove non-stop while boiling sap, and the replacement of the wallpaper that peeled from all the steam, the syrup cost about $75 a gallon (in 1950s dollars). I figure those nine cherry tomatoes at roughly $12 each.
If you decide to go the homemade upside down container route I described, here are the specifics. I'm just a novice, so please don't sue me if my advice results in death or destruction.
1. For each Sweet 100 tomato plant I used a 12" hanging basket by CobraCo (coconut liner included), purchased at Home Depot.
2. I used Sweet 100 tomato plants purchased at Natorp's in Cincinnati.
3. I watered daily unless we were blessed with a good soaking rain.
4. I used Miracle Grow once a week.
5. Be sure the plant stand you use is of heavy duty metal. My Hobby Lobby purchase was more decorative than functional and I've had to hook it around one of the sturdier stands to keep it upright, even with the lighter basket. I have no experience hanging anything from a porch roof and didn't trust my roof to withstand the weight. These things are pretty darn heavy, even with only one plant per basket.
6. Years ago in a Natorp's newsletter I read that banana peels can be buried in soil, acting as sort of a mini-composter. The peelings won't smell or attract bugs and the nutrients enrich the soil. I'm merely passing this on, so please don't blame me if it turns out bugs in your area love the darn things...

Some people let the company supply their phone and pay for their phone contract, and they use it as either just their work phone or both their work and personal phone. The IT team are usually in charge of getting the upgrades for people, setting them up and handing them over. If there are any issues with the phones people just take them back to the IT team. I say team - in both my current and previous jobs there was only one guy who had that role.

Also, even if they can afford it, not everyone gets the new or latest phones when they come out. Sometimes they keep their old phone and wait until it dies completely, or they just have no use for the new smart phone types.

This came in crimped, which I did not realize until I had driven out the framer and they unrolled it. Obviously disappointing, so I requested a replacement. It has been two weeks and still no updates other than "they have to reprint it". It's for a client's project, which puts me into a difficult position with the client, so not the best customer service. The print itself is very bold and beautiful.

A herd of bison. This is a contemporary chinese ink and color on rice paper painting with simple zen style brush strokes.
Mui-Joo Wee was born and raised in Singapore. She came to the United States to get her education and received her master degree in Social Work at University of Illinois in Champaign-Urbana. She started painting in 2003 and quickly became immersed in the process. In her paintings, whether it is a tree, a rock or a mountain, the subject becomes alive with distinct personality. Often, the result is accidental which makes it all the more joyous. Her free and loose style conveys movement and energy, and an impression of the spiritual essence in the ordinary. Her paintings are displayed at The Artists Gallery in down town Flagstaff, Arizona and Work of Artists in Scottsdale, Arizona.

I was shopping at the local store this morning when my eye caught this week's City Weekly edition on the stands. I new it would carry our review and I excitedly picked up a copy. It was great to see a full page write up on my restaurant and the delicious descriptions of all our dishes. I've received a number of compliments regarding the same and we at Saffron Valley are truly pleased and thankful for such a great review. I'm posting it here for you to read and share our moment of triumph.

Today's before/after is Norah Wilson and Heather Doherty's "Ashlyn's Radio," a bang-up YA supernatural. Heather and Norah are putting the book out in paperback and took the opportunity to spruce up the blurb.
Here's what Wilson/Doherty and I did.
When her mother is hospitalized after a mental breakdown, Ashlyn is crushed to have to leave Toronto to go live with her grandmother in Prescott Junction, Maine, where nothing happens. Nothing except for the ghost train that rolls through on the rusted lines on dark nights – the one the townsfolk pretend not to hear as it comes to claim troubled, lost souls. Ashlyn scoffs at the idea ... until she witnesses it herself, with its evil, seductive conductor and the wailing of souls trapped on board. The string of unexplained deaths by the tracks throughout the village's history (Ashlyn's father included, before she was even born) lends credence to the tale. As frightened as she is at the conductor's pull, more terror awaits when the antique radio in her grandmother's basement comes to life. Ashlyn's grandmother tells her the radio is a Caverhill curse, and can't be destroyed or discarded. It keeps coming back, and it keeps broadcasting "reports" of events yet to happen. Her grandmother begs her to stay away from the radio, but Ashlyn cannot help but listen. And to her horror, it tells her she is bound to board the ghost train. Ashlyn will need the help of her newfound friends – the troubled Rachel and the very sexy Caden – if she is going to get through the coming horrors with her sanity intact and her soul unclaimed.
Ashlyn Caverhill has left behind her senior year of high school to live with her grandmother, and she's not happy about it. Small-town Maine has nothing on Toronto. But her mother is ill, and there's nowhere else to go. Even though it contains one Caden Williams--the hottest guy she's ever seen--Ashlyn thinks Prescott Junction is the deadest place ever.
She may be right. A lot of people seem to die mysteriously down by the long-abandoned train tracks. Her own father died there before she was born. The townspeople whisper about a ghost train that comes for the souls of Prescott Junction's most troubled and vulnerable. Ashlyn scoffs until one night she sees the train and its ghoulish conductor, who nearly coaxes her on board.
Ashlyn's fear grows when she finds an old radio that haunts the Caverhill family. They've thrown it out. It comes back. They've buried it. It comes back. They've sunk it in the lake, and still it comes back. Even though it's never plugged in, the radio broadcasts stories of future events that always come to pass. Imagine Ashlyn's horror when the radio's top story is "Ashlyn Caverhill boards the ghost train." Now she must rely on the help of Caden and her new friend Rachel to escape the radio's curse and stop the ghost train before she's forced to ride it forever.
Want me to help with your blurb? I can do that.

New before/after: "Ashlyn's Radio"
4 comments:
I love the new blurb. Very creepy--in a strictly good way. :)ReplyDelete
Thanks! I've read the full synopsis for the book and want to read the whole thing myself--wow, what a story! The synopsis alone knocked my socks off. This book deserves to do very well.ReplyDelete
The new blurb is great! I'm so jealous! LOL Part of me has considered hiring someone to do mine, the other part of me worries about how much help it would be. $25 sounds reasonable, if that's what you're still charging.ReplyDelete
Becca, until about 10 pm tonight Pacific. You can just get in under the wire. :)ReplyDelete

text: Excellent service, would definitely recommend. The builders worked hard from start to finish and were prepared to 'go the extra mile' to ensure the job was done well (the door in particular was not easy to install). They even worked late into the evening to get everything done in one day, cleaned up afterwards and took all the rubbish away. Courteous and polite with a real 'can-do' approach. Great value for money too.
