If she was in a sling at a sex club tina-ed out there was no rape, thats pretty much an open invite to let peeps into ur cooter. We've all been to these types of places you know what the routine is. Making an accusation like this is serious and zero cred. is given to the person who whores themselves out like that. Can anyone take anyone seriously after they've allowed who knows how many people and objects up inside them? In a sling? In a sex club? Oh MARY GET A GRIPReplyDelete

Ken Rambo is the lowest of low drug addict leach. He has burned every bridge he has crossed. When not in rehab, he is on bath salts and meth in a sling. For him to attack someone else's character is laughable. We have all seen her getting fisted and fucked on the regular. Trash. Heard he got chased out of West Hollywood, now he's here trying to live his glory hole days.ReplyDelete

Lovely. Malena is (as others have said) so extremely photogenic. She's enough at ease in front of the camera that she comes across not just as a young lady who would be heavenly in bed, but as one who would be delightful to spend time with in general.
Awesome photo shoot. I just wish it was my tongue instead of her finger. I'd give Melena's pussy and asshole a tongue bath she'd never forget!
Melena, Melena! I love your face, your, your breasts, your nipples, your long sexy legs. And the pussy and vagina of yours. If only it were my finger loving you!
Melena/Aktomara, a rose by any other name would smell as sweet. She is absolutely stunning, her spread poses are to die for and the shots where she fingers herself are heavenly.
I wonder as to what chance there might be of a set featuring Melena and partner?, be it a man or another woman.
I fully concur. VERY photogenic and flirty lady. More please. How about Malena with Malena. Ah, an ocean between them.

Here are the photos of my interpretation of the UN-Planner. As some of you know I didn't purchase the kit, but instead made my own binders from vinyl place mats. This is working out pretty well for me, and I am still tweaking it to get it just right.
As for the insides, even though I downloaded the files, I don't have the budget to print them out. So, again, I am making my own. I used embossed card stock, in black, brown, kraft, white, turquoise, and purple for my monthly dividers. Using the luscious card stock from Prima: Timeless Memories, A4 Paper Pad, I made my monthly calendar pages (which are fold-outs) and my weekly views. To save space, I put the Dare2B's on the back of my calendar fold-outs and my List Ten's on the back of the first week view of each month. I haven't decided, yet, what will go on the back of the other weekly views.
I have been decorating my own hole reinforcers to blend with the papers I'm using. To do this, I am using Gelatos, blending the colors with a make-up sponge (loving my Gelatos!) and then heat setting them. I may do something a little more adventurous later on.
For the PAC's, I am using gesso coated playing cards. I also cut up parchment paper roll boxes and aluminum foil roll boxes into 2″x2″ pieces and coated them with gesso to use as my tidbits.
The tags are a mix of store bought, die-cut and hand cut from colored card stock.
On the back of the monthly calendar pages (not the fold outs), I glued a legal sized envelope (cut in half & colored with Gelatos) on which I adhered a square of decorative paper, with my favorite tidbit for the month attached.
In between the weekly views I have one-sided decorative pages, the backs of which I have coated with, you guessed it, gesso, ready for me to do some art. The pocket page protectors, I am still using as holders for my 'items-in-waiting', like the tags I made, bought and die-cut, tidbits, PAC's, etc.
So, without further ado, here are the photos for January (so far, I will add more as the month progresses).
JANUARY 2016: Going out an a limb. Try something new.
Week 1: Incorporate 16 into our art.

The History of Ride for Life
Throughout our history, horses have inspired us and been allies in battle and partners in progress. Our hope for The PVDA Ride for Life exemplifies the belief that horses can inspire and aid us in the fight against breast cancer. Quoting our event founder and breast cancer survivor, Patricia Artimovich, "Help us make the ring of hoof beats become the music of hope!"
The PVDA Ride for Life is an annual weekend family event held in the Baltimore/Washington area to raise funds for breast cancer research and to improve the lives of those affected and their loved ones. Since its inception in 2004, the event has raised over $780,000 for the Johns Hopkins Breast Center. The event coincides with a licensed dressage show sponsored by The Potomac Valley Dressage Association (a 501c 3 non-profit organization).
During the annual dressage show riders compete for High Pledge Awards, High Score Awards and Breed Awards. For the fourth year in 2019, we will have a Fundraiser Freestyle to allow our competitors to showcase their creativity in an exhibition Musical Freestyle Test of Choice, or a ride at the USEF or FEI level. The audience will have an opportunity to "vote" for their favorite freestyle by purchasing raffle tickets to be allotted to their favorite horse and rider team. We will culminate the Fundraiser Freestyle with a food and beverage event on the concourse, where Fundraiser Freestyle winners will be announced.
As in the past, the weekend will continue to have shopping with our great vendors.
The PVDA Ride for Life is funded through generous sponsorships, rider donations raised through pledges, a raffle, vendor donated funds and merchandise purchases.
The entire weekend is free to encourage participation by families within and outside of the Maryland area. The event and each of these activities, which include breast health education efforts, are supported through volunteer efforts provided by the PVDA, the Johns Hopkins Breast Center Survivor Volunteers and the community at large.
Words frequently are not enough to describe the emotion and drama behind this great event. Videos of breast cancer survivors impacted by the PVDA Ride for Life can be seen on PVDA Ride for Life's YouTube channel and attendees will have the opportunity to connect directly with volunteers impacted by the fundraising efforts of our riders and the PVDA Ride for Life show.

It's been a roller coaster for Jason Goldberg over the past few months.
The co-founder of Fab reached international superstardom in 2013 after raising $150 million at a valuation of more than $1 billion. For a time, Goldberg and Fab were riding high.
But as the outspoken CEO's public profile was on the rise, Fab was facing a rocky road. The company cut more than half of its staff and saw the departure of co-founder Bradford Shellhammer and COO. Just today, the New York company announced that it would significantly curtail its operations in Europe, choosing to only offer a line of furniture.
So, as is his wont, Goldberg, the former head of now defunct Seattle startup Jobster, took to his blog to issue a 3,500 word post about the lessons he learned over the past year, akin to the post he wrote following the flame-out of Jobster. This time around, though, Goldberg's reflections read like something closer to an apology for what's been going on with him and Fab over the past year.
"The Fab mission is to brighten people's lives with design," Goldberg wrote. "In our pursuit of growth though we lost sight of that mission and the Fab mission became just selling a lot of stuff."
Goldberg took it on the chin in a piece in November in The Verge titled: Demolition Man: why does Fab's CEO keep building big companies that suddenly implode? That piece included comments by GeekWire co-founder John Cook, who closely covered the rise and fall of Jobster. In fact, there certainly are some parallels between Jobster and Fab — tons of capital, hypergrowth and the outspoken remarks of Goldberg along the way.
Goldberg's latest blog post offers 16 lessons that he learned in 2013. And while filled with great advice, one needs to ask why Goldberg didn't learn at least some of those lessons back at Jobster.
Take, for example, lessons #12 and #13. He writes:
12. Don't toot your own horn.
Super hard especially when your achievements are shared with others and you so want to shout the success from the rooftops. Stop. Think. Be thoughtful. That success will still be there, and in context, three to six to 12 months from now. Wait. Let others discover your success in a time-appropriate manner. There's no rush. Oh, and btw, today's hero is tomorrow's goat. Build success over time and let others recognize it for you.
13. Shut up. Despite what you may tell yourself, not many consumers actually want to get to know the CEO of the companies they interact with.
It's not about you. It's all about the product.
In fact, some of those comments mirror what Goldberg said back in 2011 as he reflected on his time at Jobster.
One of the biggest things I learned was the importance of the product. Everything is about the product. The thing that I look back on my Jobster days, and I said I would never repeat again was, on day two of Jobster I was no longer the product manager. I was kind of this general manager/CEO. And it just killed me ever since then that I wasn't able to kind of manage what was actually going to be our product, our user experience. And the focus was on building the team, building sales and all of this stuff…. I said that I would never do that again. Product is my passion, and the user experience I think, especially in a Web-based business …, it is all about what is the product that I am interfacing with. And it really became this thing where I think the CEO needs to own the product, and put their personal touch on the product, much like say Steve Jobs does."

Contact: Allison Moore 502-618-1372
LOUISVILLE – Team Mitch today released a new video entitled "Asked and Answered."
The ad highlights how Alison Lundergan Grimes' first negative attack ad was debunked by the media as misleading and false.
"It's hard to believe Alison Lundergan Grimes had a full year to plan her first attack ad and this is what she came up with," said Team Mitch spokeswoman Allison Moore. "Almost everything in it has been proven false for literally years."

Zach Edwards is an Architect and lives in Coppell. He has been a GYIS client off & on for past 5 years (since my 1st son was born) but has been fully committed since February of 2015.
Q: Where were you at in your life before the Get You In Shape? What did your life look like? I could literally feel myself getting unhealthy. I wasn't happy with how I was feeling, both physically & emotionally, and I wasn't happy with how I looked. I work in a stressful profession and the role I fill is a highly demanding one. My body was not responding to this stress well and I knew I needed a change. I was overweight, had high blood pressure, was tired often, but not sleeping well. I was becoming a mess and needed a change.
Q: Why did you decide to join Get You In Shape? My wife did it first and gave great reviews. GYIS offered a Groupon, so I decided to try it the first time 5 years ago. This recent time around, when I restarted, I knew what I was getting into and knew GYIS was the right fit for what I needed…. Consistency, fun and tough workouts, variety and results!
Q: What was your first experience with or first impression of Get You In Shape? 5 years ago… "What did I get myself into? This was nothing like my collegiate training… Will this even do anything?" After just the first week… I knew it was legit as I could barely walk…and I wanted more! 😉
Q: What are some of the tools from the Get You In Shape program you have used that has helped you? The 24 day jump start and Suggested Nutritional Products have been instrumental in meeting my goals. Measurements and tracking have kept me honest and are good check-ins. Food journals have helped me surpass plateaus in my progress.
Q: What do you like most about the Get You In Shape Program? It's never the same workout twice, but you can always expect consistency and dedication from the trainers to get the most out of you. Even when you don't feel like working out, getting to class and seeing everyone gets you motivated and you're always glad you made it when you're finished.
Q: How has the Get You In Shape program helped change your life? Leading a healthier and happier life. I'm lead a more balanced life and enjoy feeling great again.
Q: What is your proudest moment or result from the Get You in Shape program? By far, it was running a sub 6 min mile (5:41) and breaking my PR on a 5k (23:16).
Q: How has the Get You In Shape Program impacted other areas of your life? Desire for improved nutrition, I'm sleeping better, I have more energy throughout day, I'm in a better mood more often and experience less stress (or at least handle it better). I've also got a happy wife at home from my physical improvements, so that's definitely a bonus! 🙂
It's motivated me to join in with close friends from high school to run a marathon in 2016. This was a pact we made to each other over 20 years ago, but never fulfilled when we turned 18. I've now got the energy and motivation to run on my off Bootcamp days and I even take my training stuff with me on business trips and vacations… That never happened before.
Q: What are the results that you have achieved from the Get You In Shape program and how has Get You In Shape played a role in your results? Blood pressure is the biggest improvement. I went from stage 1 hypertension down to well within the perfect range without the use of meds.
I've lost over 30 lbs from my heaviest and removed inches where I needed to while gaining inches where desired… increased lean muscle mass and reduced body fat.
GYIS gave me the program, nutritional and supplemental guidance, and motivation to reach these results. Thank you!

In today's episode, we're going to build a quickie synth. We're going to do
this by shelling out to the
sox program, which is available on Windows, OS X,
and Linux. Let's get started.
We'll get started with
mix new quickie_synth and then
cd quickie_synth.
Now, before we actually get into it, let me show you what we're going to use
sox for. Type the following into your console:
play -qn synth 2 pluck C
If you've got
sox installed, then you just heard a guitar pluck a C note.
We're going to build a system to produce those shell commands based on input
from the keyboard. Enough chat!
So let's build our first module. This is going to be the Sound module.
test/quickie_synth and open up
defmodule QuickieSynth.SoundTest do
use ExUnit.Case
alias QuickieSynth.Sound
test "outputs the appropriate command to play a C note" do
assert Sound.command("C") == "play -qn synth 2 pluck C"
Alright, so this is just a basic test to define a function that knows how to output the appropriate command to create that sound. Run the test, just to make sure we haven't got a syntax error or anything silly.
Alright, so everything's good and we just need to define the module. We'll do that at the top of the test for now:
defmodule QuickieSynth.Sound do
def command(note) do
"play -qn synth 2 pluck #{note}"
Run the tests, and they're green. Let's extract this module into the lib dir now.
Alright, so I know that this module was trivial, but there are a lot of different things you might want to do there - for instance, passing a struct defining the synth to use - and now there's a seam in the software for that logic to live in later, with no up front costs to complexity.
Next, we'll just add something to the README describing how to execute the
command, and then we'll build the function we claimed existed. This is what
I've seen referred to as
README-Driven Development and I always enjoy it.
Open up README.md and write it up:
# Quickie Synth
An Elixir-based synthesizer. To use it, you can evaluate
Alright, so let's move to make the README not so much of a liar. Open back up
lib/quickie_synth/sound.ex and add the
play function, which will just pipe
the output of the
command/1 function to
def play(note) do
note |> command |> System.cmd
Next, open up an iex session and let's see if it works. There's no reason it shouldn't:
iex -S mix
Alright, so we have an elixir module that will play all the sounds we want. You can play with it a bit more:
Now before someone gets all upset, yes this clearly has potential for abuse with unsafe input. I don't much care about security for this demo. Don't pipe untrusted user input to this, ok? I shouldn't have to tell you this. :)
Now, before we get too much further, let's build a very trivial
module that can take a string that represents a series of notes, and a time to
sleep between notes, and will spawn new processes for each note in the
composition. I'm not really sure how to test this part, and I'm eager to get to
the next part, so for now we'll just do more README-Driven Development.
Open up the README, and add a bit about Compositions:
If you want to build a composition, you can do that like so:
QuickieSynth.Composition.play(100, "CEGCEGAAB")
Now, let's make this work. Open up
lib/quickie_synth/composition.ex and let's
get hacking:
defmodule QuickieSynth.Composition do
# So what we want to do here is to split the string into a list of notes, and
# then for each note we'll spawn a process to play it, sleep for the specified
# timing, and then move on to the next note.
def play(timing, notes) do
for note <- String.graphemes(notes), do: spawn_note(timing, note)
# So now that we've described what we want to do, it's trivial
defp spawn_note(timing, note) do
spawn(QuickieSynth.Sound, :play, [note])
Let's try it out. Open up an
iex -S mix and run the README's composition:
QuickieSynth.Composition.play(100, "CEGCEGAAB")
Awesome! That's pretty great, given the tiny amount of time we've spent on this so far. We're all of 10 lines of code in, and we're spawning a background process for each note - pretty neat. There's a little bit of an issue here - we can't play any sharps or flats with the Composition as it stands. If it took in a list of strings instead of splitting the string, it would be more flexible but the interface might be less pleasant. I'll leave tweaking that bit to you. We're going to move on to something else.
So for the finale for this episode, I want to build a user interface for interacting with the synth. You'll just hit a key on your keyboard, and the appropriate note will play.
The first thing we'll have to do is map keys on the keyboard to the appropriate notes. I've whipped up a quick mapping from the bottom row of keys to the corresponding white keys on a piano keyboard, and the appropriate keys on the second row of the keyboard map to the appropriate sharps. Here's a quick test for it:
defmodule QuickieSynth.KeyboardMapTest do
use ExUnit.Case
test "bottom row" do
assert_map("z", "G")
assert_map("x", "A")
assert_map("c", "B")
assert_map("v", "C")
assert_map("b", "D")
assert_map("n", "E")
assert_map("m", "F")
assert_map(",", "G")
test "second row" do
assert_map("s", "G#")
assert_map("d", "A#")
assert_map("g", "C#")
assert_map("h", "D#")
assert_map("k", "F#")
assert_map("l", "G#")
test "unmapped keys" do
assert_map("q", :nomap)
defp assert_map(key, note) do
assert QuickieSynth.KeyboardMap.note_for(key) == note
Alright, so here I've just mapped a picture of a piano keyboard to the bottom two rows of the computer keyboard. Let's run the test.
We're missing the KeyboardMap module, so let's implement it at the top of the test file:
# Here I'll just copy our assertions in, write a quick vim macro, and define
# functions for each mapping
defmodule QuickieSynth.KeyboardMap do
def note_for("z"), do: "G"
def note_for("x"), do: "A"
def note_for("c"), do: "B"
def note_for("v"), do: "C"
def note_for("b"), do: "D"
def note_for("n"), do: "E"
def note_for("m"), do: "F"
def note_for(","), do: "G"
def note_for("s"), do: "G#"
def note_for("d"), do: "A#"
def note_for("g"), do: "C#"
def note_for("h"), do: "D#"
def note_for("k"), do: "F#"
def note_for("l"), do: "G#"
def note_for(_), do: :nomap
Run the tests, and they pass. Fantastic. Before we go on, We'll extract this to lib...
Alright, now for the actual UI. We'll do README-Driven Development, so open up README.md and add the following:
To run the keyboard ui, evaluate the following:
Then click in the window and play with the bottom two rows of your keyboard.
Alright, now to implement this.
Now what we'd like to do is sit in a loop, awaiting user input, and any time a
key is pressed fire off a process that sounds the appropriate note. The easiest
way to do this in Erlang is to use a deprecated module,
gs. We'll use that
for now, because it works :)
gs stands for
Graphics System, and it's been superceded by
wx, but it's
very trivial to get keyboard events out of it. We'll build a module that spawns
a new window and listens for keypress events from the window. Any time it
receives a keypress, it spawns a new sound process.
Open up
defmodule QuickieSynth.UI do
alias QuickieSynth.Sound
alias QuickieSynth.KeyboardMap
# [1] Alright, so there's a window that will capture our keyboard events. We'll
# create a window, then run a loop to receive events from the window's
# process.
def start do
window = create_window(200, 100)
# [3] Finally, we'll grab the key that was pressed, map it to a note, and
# spawn the sound if it was a mapped note
def loop(window) do
receive do
{:gs, window, :keypress, data, args} ->
key = hd(args)
note = KeyboardMap.note_for("#{key}")
case note do
:nomap -> :ok
_ -> spawn(Sound, :play, [note])
_ -> :ok
# [2] OK, so creating a window with gs is pretty easy. We're going to start the
# gs_server, then create a new window that we care about keypress events from
defp create_window(width, height) do
gs_server = :gs.start()
:gs.create(:window, gs_server, [width: width, height: height, keypress: true, map: true])
Alright, so spin up an iex session
iex -S mix and launch the UI with
QuickieSynth.UI.start. Now click in the window and play with the bottom row
of the keyboard.
In today's episode, we very rapidly developed a synthesizer module and a user interface for it, using the wonders of shelling out to the underlying system and spawning off a lot of tiny Elixir processes. I had a lot of fun with this one, and I hope you did as well. See you soon!

I scored some WnW polish at Walgreens when they were doing a buy 2 get 1 free. The polish was $1.99 a bottle so it was a great deal and I was able to add to my growing collection.
This polish was awesome. The one drawback is that they have a new and improved brush that is bigger than a normal brush. It takes a little talent to get it to work. But once you do, it works awesome. Covers very well. This polish went on smooth and leveled out on its own. Each swatch here is 2 coats.
First up is Through the Grapevine. This is a nice pinky purple shade. Real shiny even without a topcoat.
Then, we have Bite the Bullet. This reminds me of a grayish purple. Very smooth to apply and looks great.

As you all know by know I'm fascinated by innovations in camouflage, spinning fans and blinking lights. Here is another camouflage experiment by the Australian Ministry of Defense that is about developing a skin that allows the user to manipulate the color and pattern by applying voltage across the film see http://www.zdnet.com/au/defence-begins-research-on-adaptive-camouflage-7000002255/
The target user for the project is a vehicle or ship but would it not be able to apply similar technology to clothing or other objects.
The difficult part according to the article is getting the sensor programmed so that you have a feedback loop on what the environment is like.
Has any one heard of anything else out there of interest in this area?

Australian Ministry of Defense begins research on adaptive camouflage

IR blocking materials are already being included in many military fabrics to assist in concealment from "enemies". Detection from what (human vs. animal) and what perspective is the key. Imagine a brick building surrounded by a block wall at the edge of a deciduous forest. The proper "stationary" camouflage will change according to your position and from what direction you are being observed. Thusly the sensors mentioned in the article need to read from the perspective (position) of the "enemy". This does apply mostly to humans as many animals detect smell or sound well before sight.

If you're looking for a competitive interest rate and the security of a term deposit, a MOVE Bank Term Deposit is well worth a look. MOVE Bank term deposits are available with terms ranging from 3-24 months, and you can invest as little as $5,000 and then sit back and watch your money grow.

At the end of the term, you can either withdraw your money or opt to roll the balance over into a new term deposit account.

What are the features of the MOVE Bank Term Deposit
Before you open a MOVE Bank Term Deposit, make sure to consider the following features this account offers:
Competitive interest rates
A MOVE Bank Term Deposit allows you to fix a competitive rate for a pre-arranged period of time. The fixed interest rate means you get the security of a guaranteed return on your investment.
Negotiate your rate
If you have a total term deposit portfolio valued at $200,000 or more, you can negotiate your interest rate with MOVE. If you've seen a better rate elsewhere, you can negotiate for a better deal on your term deposit account.
Minimum balance
If you want to open a MOVE Bank Term Deposit, you'll need to have at least $5,000 to deposit.
Choose your term
MOVE Bank Term Deposits are available with the following terms: 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13 to 14, 15 to 24 and 12 to 14 months. The interest rate you receive varies depending on the term you choose, so check with MOVE for up-to-date interest rate figures.
Interest payment options
Interest on a MOVE Bank Term Deposit is calculated daily and paid monthly or at maturity. For deposits with a term of more than 12 months, interest is paid at 12 months and then at maturity.
End of term
Once the investment term ends, you have two choices of what to do with your money: you can rollover into a new term deposit or you can withdraw your money to spend or invest elsewhere.
Early redemption fee
If you decide to redeem your term deposit balance before it reaches maturity, you'll be charged an interest deduction of 2%.
- Competitive interest rate
- Minimum opening balance $5,000
What you'll need to know before applying
You'll simply need to provide your name, phone number, email address, the topic you want to discuss and your preferred callback time.

A MOVE Bank Term Deposit offers a long list of benefits to anyone looking for a secure and convenient way to invest their money. However, it's essential that you compare the interest rates and features of a MOVE Bank Term Deposit with those from other financial institutions before choosing a term deposit account.

text: The main role of the LIPM workshop is the up-keep and maintenance of the LIPM equipment and facilities. The principal tasks of the service are to deal with breakdowns and repairs, to supervise the necessary safety inspections of major equipment (e.g. autoclaves), to oversee the organisation of shared laboratory facilities and to establish a preventative program of maintenance. The workshop also provides a service to members of the research unit who request the construction of specialized pieces of equipment (e.g. aeroponic growth chambers).

I swore to my husband that I would not be going to the ER or L&D for this pregnancy if I wasn't about to have a baby, and I am therefore a dirty liar.
I was interviewing a nanny on Sunday in a coffee shop on Magazine Street. Lovely afternoon, sweet lady, and a yogurt parfait. Nearly all the way though the interview, I had to stop talking several times, because I was… out of breath? Out of energy? All of the above, plus losing vision. I blacked out for a very uncomfortable moment in which I thought I might vomit on the spot, and decided to wrap the interview up with the now very concerned nanny. I gathered my things as I was not yet alarmed, having experienced these episodes through most of the pregnancy, even though they usually weren't so dramatic and the effects not nearly so long-lasting. I tried to sip some milk and realized the left side of my face did not have feeling.
I nearly sobbed on the spot.
I dialed my husband, no answer. He was probably putting the baby down for a nap. I waited a few minutes, dialed again, same thing. By now I was decided on going to the ER- thankfully just a few blocks away- and also decided on driving myself, which I was certain was a bad idea because I was obviously having a stroke. One thing I knew to do was move, move, move, and get my tush over to the ER.
Made it there fine, went to registration, went to triage, got escorted to L&D. One of the midwives I see was already at the hospital for a birth, so my lonely stay was a bit shorter than it might have been. They checked me out, put me on monitors. Luckily, neurological problems were ruled out pretty quickly. I was baffled as to what was going on. Baby looked great, I was having zero contractions, zero dilation. The last thing to get checked was my blood, and it came back that I am anemic.
Simple, right? Apparently it was pretty bad. Bad enough to not only have me blacking out while sitting down, but also sleeping for half the day and the night. After 2 and a half days of iron supplements twice a day, my iron levels are now borderline. I can't express how much better I feel! I had no idea that anemia could feel so miserable, and that it could be so serious.
I saw my chiropractor on Monday, and he adjusted my neck, and the numbness went away.
Way to freak me out, weird stressed nerve in my neck.
When I got home from the ER, Zack was so relieved. It sucks to think your 24-year-old wife, pregnant with your second child, might be dealing with a stroke. Add to that my phone had died a short time into my visit… Poor guy.
In a nutshell, you could say that I overreacted… but seriously? A blackout episode accompanied by facial numbness on one side? What the heck, body. What the heck.

attacking reason, brain function, brain hemispheres, defending rationality, favouring emotion, hemispheric vices, hemispheric virtues, split brain
I am always getting upset about the ceaseless attacks launched against reason and logic in these foolishly emotion-drenched days. The disciples of feeling would reduce human beings to unthinking bags of hormones. The taste for irrationality is growing.
Annoyingly, I came across just such an "attack" in G. L. Rico's, Writing the Natural Way. Rico lists two sets of very different character traits, inferring that each set resides in one hemisphere of the brain. A careful examination of these sets (the items in bold below) reveals a clear bias in favour of those traits associated with the right hem

LONDON, UNITED KINGDOM – February 4, 2016 – Hortonworks, Inc.® (NASDAQ: HDP) today announced it has expanded its European customer base by adding Beabloo, the global omnichannel digital marketing company. With Hortonworks Data Platform (HDP™), Beabloo can process and analyse huge amounts of unstructured data to help its merchant customers increase revenues whilst optimising the retail experience.
Through a mix of analytics tools, physical sensors and digital marketing assets such as displays or beacons, Beabloo enables retail merchants to communicate efficiently, understand consumer behaviour and configure their points of sale in order to maximise ROI, improve the shopping experience and use resources more efficiently. Beabloo's solution is implemented by leading brands including Sainsbury's, Shell, L'Oreal and Mango.
To deliver premium service to its customers, Beabloo must analyse ever-increasing volumes of data daily to understand customer behaviour. This data is then used to highlight opportunities, drive sales and measure return on offline advertising. A flexible, enterprise-grade data platform like HDP with the ability to scale quickly and effectively is absolutely critical to the Beabloo business model.
"Understanding real-world customer behaviour has become the recipe for success, and to do this effectively, you need data," said Chris Harrington, chief architect of infrastructure at Beabloo. "As our business grew, we knew we needed a scalable open data platform to analyse offline raw data at scale to enable our customers to take the advantage of analytics tools and techniques previously only available to online businesses. Hortonworks has been instrumental in allowing us to bridge the gap between online and offline domains, and enabling us to provide cutting edge customer analytics in a cost effective manner."
Beabloo uses HDP to support data collection, processing raw sensor data and analysing outputs from the data warehouse with significantly more flexibility, scale and reliability than had previously been possible. Merchants benefit from the intelligence and insight trapped in the data via daily dashboards with heat maps, detailed zone analysis, and personalised KPIs by needs of objective comparisons.
"Beabloo uses HDP to deliver meaningful, reliable and cutting edge analytics to its customers," said Andy Leaver, vice president of international operations at Hortonworks. "Our customers' success demonstrates that the world's leading digital marketing firms are partnering with Hortonworks to remain at the forefront of customer service innovation."

Spider Veins
Spider veins are annoying small, thin blood vessels that lie close to the surface of the skin, causing red, blue or purple discolorations. Spider veins on the face are often very distracting from an otherwise lovely complexion. Spider veins are common on thighs, ankles, and calves as well as the face. It is estimated that far more than half of the adult female population is plagued with this common condition. The cause of spider veins on the legs is not completely known; however, heredity, pregnancy, weight gain, hormonal changes and other factors are known to contribute to the development of spider veins. Spider veins on the face are influenced by sun exposure, over-manipulation of the skin, and genetics, to name just a few. Surprisingly, alcohol use is not a major contributor to the formation of veins.
Spider veins usually take on one of three basic patterns. They may appear in a true spider shape with a group of veins radiating outward from a central point; they may resemble tiny branch-like shapes; or they may be simple thin linear lines, appearing underneath the skin.
The good news is you can virtually eliminate the appearance of spider veins with advanced laser treatment. At Rejuvena, we treat spider veins with the Cutera Excel 1064 ND:Yag laser. The Excel laser is not only fast and effective, but has a cooling tip to help with comfort during treatment, as well. Dr. Hardt will sometimes use injectable sclerosing agents to close larger veins.
We have many patients who tell us they can now wear less (or no) makeup and are no longer self conscious about wearing shorts or swim suits. If this condition bothers you, we invite you in for a free consultation.
At Rejuvena, we do not charge for consultations. To schedule your free consultation, please email or call us at (405)842-1100.

No one could have been more pleased than me when I got Thomas de Zengotita's Mediated out of the free pile at my work a few days after an excerpt appeared in Harper's. I thought the Harper's piece was extremely provocative, gave me material for many a blog post. I put off reading it for a few months, sort of the way you put off listening to all of a new album by your favorite band, or read a letter from a friend very deliberately, allowing the joy to sink in. I wanted to savor the anticipation I had of reading it a little longer, much in the way Colin Campbell theorizes in The Romantic Ethic and the Spirit of Capitalism. I was enjoying imagining all its insight and all the pleasure I would get from it that would, alas, inevitably come to end when I finished reading.
Only once I started Mediated it quickly dawned on me that I hated it. The central thesis, that our apprehension of reality is compromised by the series of options we are confronted with for refashioning it, is still extremely useful, but the manner in which its presented is relentlessly brash, in prose amped up on Mountain Dew and saturated with in jokes desperate to signify that the author's "with it." It's smug, arch, David Brooksian tone grated on me in every possible way, like Laura Kipnis multiplied by ten. I find it extremely upsetting when people who are obviously articulate in social theory pooh-pooh it and refer to it disdainfully even as they patronizingly dumb it down and employ its arguments. It's as though they think theory is embarrassing, and they would no sooner employ its terminolgy than expose their genitals in a gatefold insert. They try to posture as though theory is in some crank-intellectual ghetto, while they are comfortable in the mainstream of rational thought, purged of fanciful excessiveness and silly jargon. By adopting this stance, they suggest that the mainstream is synonymous with reasonableness, that "everyday" language is not already ideological in character. That's the problem with trying to translate social theory into slack tweener slang or commonsense conversational tones. The language of mainstream journalism, of op-ed columns and lifestyle magazines, is built to buffer people from the kind of insight that social theory and media criticism is trying to elucidate. So it seems like de Zengotita is bending over backward to undermine his argument with his own prose style. His arguments tend to devour themselves as he loads them with contrived real-life examples and jokey asides. It's can be as awkward as one of your parents telling a dirty joke, or scripted Acadamy Award banter between presenters. It's like late Baudrillard without the nihilistic glee.
But worse than that is the implication of his "Justin's helmet" principle, which, if I've understood it properly, suggests that it's okay and perfectly understandable for parents to suspend what's in the best interests of society to do what's in the best interests of their precious child. This is the very essence of capitalist hegmony as it's enforced by the nuclear family and its cadre of "family values." This is what the culture war with its "defense of marriage" is all about, reinforcing this selfish attitude (as well as the gender roles that cement this set of social relations) at the expense of a cohesive society. By stressing overanxious "family values" and instilling divisive hostility in the community at large, atomized families are encouraged to turn their backs on each other and accept the war of all against all as natural and even preferable. It is the essence of the Republicans' salt-the-earth, fuck-the-poor platform, which destroys all the safety nets and attempts to sell it on the short-sighted principle that "you get more for your family." Forget Justin's helmet, this should be called the SUV principle: "I dont care if I waste gas and destroy the environment and make it infinitely more difficult for other drivers to negotiate the streets, I just want to make sure if I cause an accident because I can't really manage a heavy truck, that I kill someone else's family and not my own." It's troubling that de Zengotita seems to endorse this perspective, albeit with a lot of codicils and semi-regrets and hyperventilating excuses. Because if someone who so clearly is capable of "getting it" still caves in to this principle of personal family-oriented selfishness, and elevates it as a universal, unalterable norm, there may really be no hope, as he never tires of insisting.

Does this hammer-headed condition give damselflies some sort of advantage? I think it does. Damselflies frequently perch on long, skinny, near-vertical things like grass stems, sedges, and twigs, with the head facing whatever they're grasping and the abdomen pointing away. The widely separated eyes provide them an unobstructed view around narrow perches, which means they can keep an eye out—well, both eyes out—for whatever they need to look out for. I would guess a narrow perch does not block the damselfly's view at all even though it's right in front of the face.
The photos below illustrate this point. This California Spreadwing (Archilestes californica) was perching on a sedge at the Cottonwood Recreation Area on the John Day River in Oregon. After a few profile photos, he stayed put while I angled around for the front shot. Very cooperative!
|Two views of a male California Spreadwing (Archilestes californica) perching on a sedge stem.
What do they need to look out for? Predators are an obvious choice, although I'm not sure how noticeable damselflies are to predators while perching. It must happen sometimes, though. They do often perch-hunt however, waiting for prey to fly within striking range and then taking their lunch back to a perch to finish up. Mature males are also always on the lookout for females, so whatever enhances their view is good for that too.

Product Details
Feminine Care Tea Tree Douche is used to naturally relieve the discomforts associated with vaginitis and yeast infections. It works by soothing the irritated area while it kills off yeast and bacteria that contribute to the discomfort.
Vaginitis is a general term for an inflammation or infection of the vagina. Vaginitis can be caused by different microorganisms, including, Candida albicans (commonly known as yeast infection).
Use of products such as artificially scented bath oils or bubble baths, birth control devices (especially the diaphragm), and/or pills, spermicides, tampons, vaginal deodorant sprays, and poor hygiene are also contributing causes.
Other factors can include: the use of certain drugs (especially antibiotics), the existence of parasites, diabetes, hormonal imbalances, pregnancy, a vitamin B deficiency and poor nutrition---diets high in alcohol, dairy products, refined carbohydrates, sugar, and yeast products---which result in an overgrowth of Candida
Symptoms Include:
* burning
* itching
* dryness
* leucorrhea (a thick white cheesy-looking vaginal discharge)
* unpleasant odor
* pain or discomfort during intercourse.
In addition to using this douche, there are a number of precautions that can be taken to prevent vaginitis.
always wash thoroughly with a mild unscented (artificial scents or fragrances) body soap and gently pat dry
..artificially scented bath oils or bubble baths
..commercial douches
..scented detergents
..and fabric softeners
..deodorant tampons or sanitary napkins,
..scented toilet paper
..vaginal deodorant sprays
* make improvements in nutrition
* always wipe from front to back following a bowel movement
* urinate before and after intercourse and after bathing.
Yeast infections can be passed back and forth between sexual partners, so it may be necessary for your partner to receive treatment---have your partner cleanse their genital area after sexual relations with a Feminine Care Hygiene Douche solution.
It is also a good idea to balance the intestinal flora of the gut which may have an overgrowth of yeast. We highly recommend one of our Probiotic supplements.

A New Zealand company is taking a major leap forward in commercializing nanotechnology — Revolution Fibres Ltd plans on making nano-fabrics from the collagen in discarded fish skins. (New Zealand is an island nation, after all.) The uber-thin fibers are exceptionally strong and provide extra filtration capabilities due to their nano-properties, and Revolution plans to use them in everything from clothing to filtration systems, structural reinforcement, electronics, and packaging.
The company is using a TechNZ investment grant to build a commercial-scale nano-loom to create the fabrics. Its first product will be a new type of biodegradable air filter mat for the Kiwi ventilation company HRV.
The company's technical director, Iain Hosie, says, "It is a good use of something that would normally be chucked away. What is good about biomaterials is it means you stay away from plastic and petrochemical-derived products."
Avoiding petro-plastics is a good thing, but the environmental cost-benefit analysis on nanotechnology is far from complete. The tiny particles and fibers — a billionth of a meter wide — can penetrate human cells and could potentially create entirely new issues for water filtration.

The Indian Great Awakening
Religion and the Shaping of Native Cultures in Early America
University Press 2012
New Books in American StudiesNew Books in Biblical StudiesNew Books in Christian StudiesNew Books in HistoryNew Books in Native American StudiesNew Books in Peoples & PlacesNew Books in Politics & SocietyNew Books in ReligionNew Books in Religion & FaithNew Books Network January 10, 2013 Andrew Epstein
Just east of the Norwich-New London Turnpike in Uncasville, Connecticut, stands the Mohegan Congregational Church. By most accounts, it's little different than the thousands of white-steepled structures dotting the New England landscape: the same high-backed wooden chairs, high ceilings, images of lordly white men. To the careful observer, there is one notable distinction. Just above a traditional cross near the front entrance hangs a single, perfect eagle feather.
The juxtaposition might be startling for some. But as Brown historian Linford D. Fisher beautifully illuminates in The Indian Great Awakening: Religion and the Shaping of Native Cultures in Early America(Oxford University Press, 2012), Native cultures in New England – and, indeed, most everywhere – are highly incorporative, blending elements of Christian religious practice with their own.
This was never more the case than during the eighteenth century evangelical revival known to scholars as the First Great Awakening. A significant turning point in American spiritual life, Native peoples of New England are often left out of the narrative. When they're included, it's as passive targets of conversion. Fisher tells a dramatically different story.

Anticipating a strong return of spring chinook salmon, fishery managers from Washington and Oregon this week set the initial 2014 fishing season to run through April 7 on the lower Columbia River.
Starting Saturday, March 1, anglers fishing downriver from Bonneville Dam may retain one marked, hatchery-reared adult spring chinook per day. The sport fishery will close in that area on two Tuesdays – March 25 and April 1 – to accommodate potential commercial fisheries.
Anglers fishing above the dam will also have a one-fish daily catch limit for hatchery adult spring chinook during a season scheduled March 16 through May 9. The fishing area above Bonneville Dam extends upriver to the Washington/Oregon state line, 17 miles above McNary Dam.
Barbless hooks are required in both areas, and anglers must release any salmon or steelhead not visibly marked as a hatchery fish by a clipped adipose fin.
Ron Roler, Columbia River policy manager for the Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, said this year's spring chinook fishery looks promising.
"The stage is set for a great fishery this year," Roler said. "Not only is the run forecast well above average, but the light snow pack makes it unlikely that anglers will have to contend with high, turbid water as they have in some years."
Based on pre-season projections, 308,000 adult spring chinook will return to the Columbia River Basin this year.
Under this year's initial catch guidelines, anglers fishing below the dam will be allowed to catch up to 12,400 spring chinook before an updated run forecast is released in late April or early May. Another 1,325 adult upriver chinook will be reserved for anglers fishing between Bonneville Dam and the Washington/Oregon state line.
To guard against over-estimating this year's run, the states will again manage the fisheries with a 30 percent buffer until the forecast is updated.
Spring chinook fishing is currently open on a daily basis from Buoy 10 near the mouth of the Columbia River upstream to the Interstate 5 bridge.
Under the new rules, the fishery for boat and bank anglers will expand upriver to Beacon Rock on March 1, with bank fishing also allowed from Beacon Rock upriver to the fishing boundary just below Bonneville Dam.
Above the dam, the fishery will be open to boat and bank anglers on a daily basis from March 16 through May 9 between the Tower Island power lines (six miles below The Dalles Dam) and the Washington/Oregon state line. Bank anglers can also fish threr during that time.
In other business, fishery managers approved a sturgeon fishery in the Bonneville Pool set to begin Saturday, Feb. 1. Only white sturgeon measuring 38-54 inches (fork length) may be retained.
Roler said that fishery is designed to give anglers a chance to catch sturgeon still available for harvest in that area during the winter season. The fishery will run through Monday, Feb. 17, or until 300 to 350 additional sturgeon are caught, whichever comes first.
Waters below Bonneville Dam remain closed to sturgeon retention until further notice under rules previously adopted by both states.

This is what I spent the day working on. I wanted to make this for my mother n law as a house warming gift but I am afraid it might be a little to big. It is 64 " square. I am not sure how big a tree she bought but if it is small this might be over powering. I might have to try another one and I know someone that does have a large tree. We will see.
It was a free pattern from Craftsy. It is called Star Weave Tree Skirt. Not an easy project. I would not recommend it for a beginner. It is for someone who doesn't mind tearing things out. I used the 1/4" seam but the blocks that was suppose to be 8 1/2" was closer to 8 1/4". So therefore it threw the whole pattern out. After a long day there was only one spot that I couldn't get right and that is where I am going to cut the seam for the opening. Now hopefully on Friday I will machine quilt it and put it together.

Ballet serves as a backbone for many other styles of dance, as many other dance genres are based on ballet. Ballet is based on techniques that have been developed over centuries. Ballet uses music and dance to tell stories. Ballet dancers have the ability to transport an audience to another world.
Country and Western
Country and western dance includes several dance forms, usually danced to country-western music. If you've ever been to a country and western club or tavern, you've probably seen a few cowboy boot-wearing dancers twirling around the dance floor with big smiles on their faces. [pic]
Tap dancing is an exciting form of dance in which dancers wear special shoes equipped with metal taps. Tap dancers use their feet like drums to create rhythmic patterns and timely beats.
Hip-hop is a dance style, usually danced to hip-hop music, that evolved from the hip-hop culture. Hip-hop includes various moves such as breaking, popping, locking and krumping, and even house dance. Improvisation and personal interpretation are essential to hip-hop dancing.
Modern dance
Modern dance is a dance style that rejects many of the strict rules of classical ballet, focusing instead on the expression of inner feelings. Modern dance was created as a rebellion against classical ballet, emphasizing creativity in choreography and performance.
Contra Dance
Contra dance is a form of American folk dance in which the dancers form two parallel lines and perform a sequence of dance movements with different partners down the length of the line. Contra dances are relaxed with family-like atmospheres. The dancing is excellent exercise, and dancers can set their own pace. Contra dancers are usually friendly, active people with a love of dance.

Milan v Cagliari: Time running out for Inzaghi
Under-fire coach Filippo Inzaghi is clinging onto his job ahead of Milan's Serie A clash against Cagliari on Saturday.
Milan have won just two of their past 10 matches in all competitions, leaving them battling in 10th spot in the league.
Inzaghi is under increasing pressure at the helm, with his team now 10 points off qualifying for the UEFA Europa League.
A clash against relegation-threatened Cagliari at San Siro appears an opportunity for Milan to return to winning ways.
But midfielder Nigel de Jong said on Wednesday nothing would come easily for his struggling team.
"We're a team right until the end. The coach isn't the only one responsible for the situation, but us players too," he told reporters.
"As I've said before, we have to improve to come out of this situation together.
"My future? I'm currently a Milan player. We shall see for next year.
"I haven't seen many of Cagliari's matches. Every match is hard for us at the moment."
Milan looked set for an important win last time out, leading Fiorentina 1-0 with less than 10 minutes remaining.
But they conceded twice in seven minutes late on against Vincenzo Montella's side.
Milan face a team also battling for form in Cagliari, who are winless in seven matches and four points from safety.
The situation for Zdenek Zeman's side is becoming increasingly desperate, sitting four points behind Atalanta and eight adrift of 16th-placed Chievo.
Cagliari also have a forgettable history against Milan.
Of the 33 matches played between the two clubs, Cagliari have won just two - losing 21 and drawing 10.
Cagliari's last win over Milan came in 1998.
Zeman's men need a win in their relegation fight, while Inzaghi must lead his side to victory to ease the pressure on his job - for the time being at least.

I'm not getting any younger, in fact I'm getting older by the day. This fact along with the fact that this year is the 30th anniversary of the Commodore C-128 and the original Commodore Amiga prompted me to attend this year's CommVEx in Las Vegas lest I not be around for the next significant anniversary. For those that don't know me, I designed the C-128 at the ripe old age of 25 back in 1984-85, though I would ask that you not hold that against me as it was a very long time ago.
Also this year Dr. Leonard Tramiel, son of Commodore's founder Jack Tramiel, was able to swing by which was an unprecedented and unforgettable event.

Local Asshole Now Local Asshole With Blog: The Twisted Brain Wrong of a One-Off Man-Mental

Ethna MacCarthy, Poet
Beckett fact no. 97.
By way of a footnote to my discussion of Lyle Donaghy, I might also mention Ethna MacCarthy, whose name came up a few times in the discussion that followed my paper (and that of Graley Herron) the other day. Her part in inspiring Krapp's Last Tape has long been known, not to mention her appearance as the Alba in Beckett's earlier fiction. But the woman herself has also remain more than a little elusive. How serendipitous then, in thumbing through an Irish Times publication of 1944, Poems from Ireland, which includes Donaghy's work, to find two poems by her, 'Requiem' and 'Harlequin'. She has published poems, her contributor's note tells us, in Hermathena, the Dublin Magazine, and the Farmer's Gazette. Here is 'Harlequin':
My love is of the moon –
pale sequin and velvet cratered depths,
pure light and softest shaggy dark.
Like her he seeks the sun for warmth
to ramble the livid streets from dusk
and barter his tranquillity for tears,
and never knows how good he is
or tired, but fights the sordid strident day
till like a child he rests a little in my arms.
And then the fearful maturation of the light
lifts at his languid head. And so he goes,
to skim the scattered sequins from the pools.

If you watched the Super Bowl yesterday, or at least the commercials, you probably noticed an interesting NFL Commercial that makes the claim that nine months after a victory, the winning city experiences a baby boom. This is apparently due to elated fans taking their joy to the bedroom after the game.
Assuming this to be true, and understanding that most healthy people of childbearing age are covered by for-profit health insurance with deductibles, then it is no stretch to realize that a lot of Colorado couples will be bumping into their high deductibles come delivery time around the beginning of November. Deductibles of thousands of dollars must be met before insurers will cover any medical claims. Even higher out-of-pocket maximums could mean medical bills as high as $13,700 just for having a baby.
High deductibles, as well as maximum out-of-pocket limits, create a significant financial burden to many. The financial risk that used to be associated with being uninsured is now borne by significantly higher numbers of people WITH INSURANCE.
To add insult to injury, just a couple of months after all of these births, their deductibles reset -- just in time for shots, well-baby visits, and your typical childhood illnesses.
The good news is that Colorado has a very good chance to not only deliver a bunch of Bronco babies in 9 months, but also deliver a universal health care system that will eliminate deductibles and other financial burden related to health care. ColoradoCare (Amendment 69) will be put to a vote of the people in November, just nine short months from now.
It will be too late to prevent huge bills for this year's Super Bowl baby births, but once passed, will help all of us avoid the pain, suffering, and high costs caused by private health insurance. A comprehensive universal health plan that covers everybody and saves us billions of dollars a year would be a welcome addition to any and all Colorado families. Spread the word!
HCAC relies on the generous contributions of people like you, who recognize the chronic and expensive failings of the current system and would like to be able to live in a place that respects people and provides universal health care to its citizens. We need your help now to fight the millions of dollars being pumped in by the Koch Brothers and others to defeat the will of the citizens. Please consider donating or becoming a member today.

Charles Arnot commented 2016-11-13 13:31:08 -0700Truly, a great venture for healthcare. Insurance companies are focusing on building high profit from the investments made by people. I hope ColoradoCare is totally different from those companies and will provide the best healthcare system. People are fed up with the insurance companies that put forward a number of directives to get insurance and the one who needs the healthcare urgently, he/she needs to walk back and forth with essential proofs. I believe that ColoradoCare is an exceptional choice for people as it doesn't make things complicated. Get detailed information of the research about insurance companies, how far they have been moved and how many people have got their insurance on time, by the experts from http://www.essayschief.com . As far it is concerned to me, you had better avoid the offers from insurance companies and avail healthcare aid from ventures like ColoradoCare. I really appreciate your concepts and wish this would become a great success. Good luck in your endeavors.
Donna Young commented 2016-02-08 19:14:27 -0700Wow, 2016 will see a mini baby boom.
And and opportunity to vote for ColoradoCare – Amendment 69!
Go Broncos – go Amendment 69! An idea whose time has come.

Sometimes I find inspiration from the written word of famous leaders and other times I get it straight from the "mouth's of babes." Yesterday I got a couple of good doses of both thanks to Oliver Wendell Holmes, my daughter, and a 4 hour drive over the hills and through the woods from Grandma's house coming back to Kent.
Maybe it's because we're nearing the end of the year but I found myself waxing philosophic lately about the possibilities of Kent. Then again, I suppose I do that pretty much year round but I'd have to admit it's been more pronounced recently. And when I'm in that state of mind, quotes and comments will catch my eye and ear more readily, which is what happened this weekend and inspired this blog post.
First, unexpectedly in a newspaper I came across a quote from Oliver Wendell Holmes that seamed to speak directly to the matter of community building:
"Greatness is not in where we stand, but in what direction we are moving. We must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it — but sail we must and not drift, nor lie at anchor." Oliver Wendell Holmes
For anyone that is in a city, or follows the practice of democracy performed in city halls across this country every day — including in Kent — you know the wisdom inherent in this quote. Every community wants to be great, first rate, world class, a premier place to live, work and play. The challenge is in defining what exactly "great" looks like and feels like for each community.
What's great for NY City is not likely to be a great fit in Kent. It's important to keep an eye on what works in other places but cities have to be careful not to fall into the same trap that gets played out with neighbors all trying to "keep up with the Jones'."
Short Sidebar
The "keeping up with the Jones'" syndrome reminds me a lot of the army ant death spiral. Actually, it's a circular mill, first described in army ants by Schneirla (1944). A circle of army ants, each one following the ant in front, becomes locked into a circular mill. They will continue to circle each other until they all die. Beebe (1921) described a circular mill he witnessed in Guyana. It measured 1200 feet in circumference and had a 2.5 hour circuit time per ant. The mill persisted for two days, "with ever increasing numbers of dead bodies littering the route as exhaustion took its toll, but eventually a few workers straggled from the trail thus breaking the cycle, and the raid marched off into the forest." How crazy is that?
Good reason NOT to keep up with the Jones' — either as a neighor or a city.
I know that may sound a bit odd coming from the guy that is always posting stories of things going on in other cities. But I do that to inspire us to dream big in Kent, not copy for the sake of one-upping our city neighbors. There's some really good ideas out there and we need to stay in touch with what's going on around us, but greatness comes when you use someone else's good idea to inspire a great adaptation that becomes truly yours — or in our case, Kent's.
With Justice Holmes' quote ringing in my ears, I'd suggest that greatness is not an end, but a process that is our never-ending story. Community building is the ultimate test of "what have you done for me lately." Greatness is less a static characteristic of a building or park that got built than it is a reflection of the spirt and effort invested that continually strives to make things better by building new buildings and new parks.
By the nature of democracy in action, we won't always agree on whether the "end" result is great or not, but thanks to Justice Holmes we don't have to. We just have to agree to honor the spirit of democracy, admire the courage of people's convictions and applaud the efforts of our fellow citizens that contribute their ideas and energy to make sure Kent doesn't drift nor lie at anchor.
With that in mind, let me share an unsolicited comment my daughter offered regarding the Old Hotel in downtown Kent. Keep in mind I've never had a conversation about the Old Hotel with my daughter but apparently she and her 9 year old friends have.
These budding fourth grade citizens at Longcoy were talking about wanting to do their part and pitch-in to the rehabilitation of the idle structure. They didn't over-complicate matters about this regulation or that, or who should do what, how or when, — they saw an old building and wanted to make it useful again.
So what do fourth graders do? Thanks to good teachers, parents and probably even the Disney Channel, they "imagineer" their way to possible solutions. Even though winter is rapidly approaching they suggested holding a "really big" car wash to raise money to fix the building. That led to the suggestion of a citywide bake sale. After all, every fourth grader knows that when you have a tough problem, you hold a bake sale.
Will a bake sale fix the Old Hotel? Probably not, but I'm sure Justice Holmes would be proud of the spirit and willingness of Kent's kids to get in the boat and row. I know I am. And that feeling will keep me pushing to row as hard as I can because these kids reminded me that I'm not just rowing for me and you today, I'm rowing for all our kids and their kids tomorrow.
By the way, there's room in the boat and plenty of oars to go around if the spirit moves you too.

"It is in the sheer diversity and easy transitioning over nine tracks that Heyes proves the depth of his composition skills," Pedro Santos NZ Musician Magazine
The Story
The 9 pilgrims is a pilgrimage across a world of sounds and cultures,produced by Jono heyes and mastered by Grammy Award winning engineer Jerry Boys.
Heyes set up his personal studio in a place where time has stood still for some years, an old country house in an isolated rural village called 'Zalesi' nestled on the edge of the Sumava forest on the czech/german borderlands.
Piece by piece the album evolved with 6 virtual guests from around the world each adding sublime solos and harmonies. Together crafting a multi cultural tapestry rich in acoustic timbres and tonality.
Below are the wonderful artists who joined the pilgrimage; Czech vocalist Beata Bocek, New Zealand jazzman and Triple Emmy nominee composer Trevor Coleman, Irish vocalist Francesca Baines, Swiss multi instrumentalist Samuel Hagmann, Czech tv and film composer Tomas Hacek, New Zealand double bassist Carlos gelling, Grammy Award sound engineer Jerry Boys, illustrator, graphic designer Petra Jirouškova and Jan Sirek Photographer.

[Actual Date: August 19, 2009]
"A miracle is within you" was the message delivered by Dr. Lee Seung-bok. This also happens to be the guiding principle and title of his 2005 memoir. Of all the speakers featured in Yonsei's summer English camp, no one was more inspiring than Dr. Superman Lee.
Dr. Lee has always been ambitious and strongly motivated. As a teenager, he dreamed of becoming an Olympic gymnastic champion. And it was more than just a child's dream. He earned a coveted position on the 1988 Olympic team for Korean men's gymnastics and was in competitive training, a serious contender for winning a medal. Then he fell. Dr. Lee did not explain his accident, except to state the obvious: It left him a quadriplegic.
By hard work and sheer willpower, Dr. Lee built strength and a certain degree of mobility in his upper body, allowing him the use of his hands. The same hard work and willpower he took with him to medical school. His own rehabilitation as a quadriplegic had been rough and, he gently hinted, the health care professionals had not treated him well. He was determined to help others suffering from similar injuries.
Today, Dr. Lee is one of the most prestigious doctors working at John Hopkins Hospital. He has accomplished his goal of working in rehabilitation, as well as serving as a physician on the medical staff of the Olympic gymnastics team. His honesty, simple confidence, and strength of spirit are amazing. There's no doubt: Dr. Lee's nickname is Superman because he's a genuine hero.
